Beep beep beep.
The phone rang three times and then was picked up.
"Hello, Secretary Li."
A cheerful middle-aged man's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Hello, Director Zhou. I'm so sorry to bother you so late."
"Secretary Li, you're so polite! It's only late now, and you're not disturbing me at all. I've also read the news about the Jinxin Coal Mine rescue these past two days. I was thinking of waiting for a couple of days until Secretary Li is less busy, and then I'll find a time to treat him to a meal and we can sit down..."
"Director Zhou, if anyone's going to treat us, I should be the one..."
After the two exchanged pleasantries, Director Zhou took the initiative to ask, "Secretary Li, is there something you're calling about?"
"Director Zhou, this is the case. My sister's child wants to go to the Experimental Primary School in our county, but some procedural issues have delayed the registration time..." Li Xiuyuan simply explained the situation, and there was no need to go into too much detail.
Some things can be done, no matter what the circumstances. If they cannot be done, no matter how detailed your explanation is, or how sufficient your reasons are, it will be useless. This mainly depends on the relationship, not your personal situation.
"Haha." Director Zhou laughed heartily. "Secretary Li, you called so late, I thought it was something else. It's just this little thing. Don't worry, it will be fine. I'll tell the principal of Experimental Primary School soon, and then I'll send you the school's phone number. Tell your family to go see him whenever they are free."
Going to school is indeed extremely difficult for ordinary people. If you live in a bigger city, you will need to buy a house in a school district. But for some people, it is really a piece of cake.
The director of the Education Bureau decides on the appointment of principals of every school in the county. Asking the director of the Education Bureau to give a heads-up for this child to go to school is like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
"Okay, thank you Director Zhou. I'll make arrangements another day. Call the principal of Experimental Primary School and we'll sit together." Li Xiuyuan said with a smile.
"No, I'll do it. I'll make the arrangements. I know Secretary Li must be busy these days. After this period is over, I'll host the event and invite the principal of the experimental primary school to come and report the work to Secretary Li..."
The two of them politely hung up the phone.
But the house was quiet, and the family looked at Li Xiuyuan in a daze. Li Xiuyuan's family were ordinary people. They might come into contact with some powerful people in their lives, but they were still at the bottom of society.
The village chief, the director of the neighborhood committee in the street, or an unknown section chief in a certain unit.
This was an opportunity for them to feel the naked impact of their rights. It was an extremely difficult task, but with just one phone call, all the regulations and registration times were gone.
It’s up to you to go whenever you want and go to school whenever you want. There are no restrictions on household registration, no proof of residence, and no time limit.
All the rules and regulations disappeared without a trace under the impact of this phone call, as if they had never existed.
Li Xiuyuan didn't mention it, and the person called "Director Zhou" on the phone didn't mention it either.
And the principal of the Experimental Primary School was already a big shot to them, but in front of Li Xiuyuan and Director Zhou, he seemed to be a figure who could be summoned here and there, and he would attend dinner parties whenever they asked him to.
