Based on what he knows and what others have said, Qi Weihua is a fairly upright person, especially since he was a soldier and has a good reputation.
This subtle attempt to win someone over is actually a way of showcasing one's work achievements.
"You're too kind as to greet me. What brings you here, teacher?" Qi Weihua asked as expected.
Li Xiuyuan briefly explained the situation, then said with some emotion, "Actually, this is unfair to them, but there's nothing we can do. If Meilin Village Primary School wants to improve its teaching quality and retain the children in the village, it needs to strengthen its teaching staff. Putting aside their junior high school education, the key issue is that the current teaching methods are different from the old ones."
"Children have to learn so much more in elementary school than they used to, they can't keep up..."
After listening for a while, Qi Weihua nodded and said, "Mayor Li, you've done a lot. Sometimes, someone has to make sacrifices. Back when we were reducing our military by a million soldiers, everyone was reluctant, but there was no other way. If we wanted a lean and strong army, someone had to make sacrifices..."
"Yes, someone has to make a sacrifice, but sometimes this choice is very difficult, especially for the person who makes the sacrifice; it's a heavy burden," Li Xiuyuan said with some emotion.
These words won Qi Weihua's favor, and he looked at Li Xiuyuan with a more intimate gaze.
It's normal for someone to prioritize the big picture and make sacrifices, but the problem is that many leaders speak lightly when asking others to make sacrifices, but when it comes to themselves, it's a completely different story.
Now that Li Xiuyuan can recognize the gravity of this matter, he is better than many, most, leaders.
But at that moment, Li Xiuyuan changed the subject and said, "However, I believe that their sacrifice was not in vain, but was valuable, and the future will be better and better, and the policies will be better and better."
Just as agriculture initially supported industry, and now industry is supporting agriculture in the process of rural revitalization, the sacrifices made in the past must have been valuable and will be rewarded.
These private school teachers made significant contributions to the development of education in our country, but now, due to the changing times, they have to retire. However, I believe that one day in the future, when the country has the resources, development is better, and policies are more favorable, they will not be abandoned.
When Li Xiuyuan said this, his tone was extremely confident, because this was something he had experienced, and he believed that if the policies were improved in the future, these private school teachers would indeed receive preferential treatment.
Therefore, when he said these words, there was no falsehood in them; they were all sincere.
From Qi Weihua's perspective, this was completely different. He felt that Li Xiuyuan was radiant at this moment. The confidence and determination in Li Xiuyuan's eyes, and his expectations for the future, were all so charming.
Li Xiuyuan paused briefly, then turned to look at Qi Weihua: "Minister Weihua, give this country some time. I believe we will get better and better."
Qi Weihua was also inspired by Li Xiuyuan. At this moment, he even felt that if he were ten years younger, he would follow Li Xiuyuan without hesitation. Li Xiuyuan, the deputy mayor, really had personal charisma.
"Give us some time, but we also need outstanding young people like Mayor Li, generation after generation, to dedicate themselves to the construction cause..." Qi Weihua looked at Li Xiuyuan, and his words were not flattery, but full of sincerity.
