Xiao Jiang's method of handling things is more tactful, and he is more suitable to be Xiaoyong's leader. When Xiaoyong becomes Xiao Jiang's assistant, I believe he will learn more. I believe Xiao Jiang will also take better care of Xiaoyong for my sake.
Jiang Shushu's mind was spinning. Even though it was July 1977, it was a parallel universe, with a different president. While the history was similar, there were still some differences. Would the Gaokao be resumed this year? Would the economy be reopened next year? No one could say for sure; a delay of four or five years was possible. Rather than being controlled by others, I'd rather be in control of others.
Director Qian is a good leader, which is why I can work happily. If I don't do this, what if the person who takes over is difficult to get along with? Wouldn't that be unpleasant for me? After all, good leaders like Director Qian and Deputy Director Qin are not easy to come by. I'll do this first, take a step forward, and see what happens next.
"Yes, thank you for your trust and training, Director. I will definitely work hard and will never let you down. I hope our department will continue to shine."
"Okay, from today on, you'll be learning from me. You'll also be guiding the two new assistants. One of them is Xiaoyong, so please take good care of him. If he makes a mistake, you don't have to give me face. Just do what needs to be done."
Jiang Shushu smiled and said, "It turned out to be Xiaoyong. Don't worry, I will definitely teach him well. Xiaoyong is smart and quick-witted. I am blessed to have such a talent as him." As the grandson of the former leader, as long as he does not make major mistakes, for the sake of his reputation, Lin Sanjun and I have to respect him a little more.
…
Lin Sanjun learned the specific news from Qin Lanye just as he was about to get off work. Although his expression did not change at all, the joy and enthusiasm that had been rising in his heart for the past few days immediately receded by half, and he felt unwilling, envious, and jealous.
Lin Sanjun smiled bitterly in his heart: I thought I was the one the boss valued the most, but it turns out I'm still a little behind Jiang Shushu. I'm no worse than Jiang Shushu in every way, but I'm a man, so it's easier for me to go out for social events. Why am I the deputy and she's the principal? I'm so unwilling to accept this!
After Lin Sanjun vented his dissatisfaction in the toilet cubicle, he immediately regretted it and blamed himself for not being stable enough.
After studying for so long, I am still not as good as Jiang Shushu in this aspect. Maybe this is why I lose.
Lin Sanjun took a few deep breaths, constantly comforting himself and adjusting his mentality.
I've only been here a few years, and I've been promoted to deputy director. I'm quite young and promising. I'm incredibly lucky, having one person retire and another transfer. There are always people better than you. If it doesn't work out this time, try again next time. As long as I keep moving forward, I'll get what I want one day... Having a good partner and boss is also a great outcome.
Lin Sanjun returned to his usual gentle and reserved self. He found Jiang Shushu, who was about to become his immediate superior, and said, "I just heard about it. Congratulations. I hope we can continue to cooperate happily in the future. If you have any instructions in the future, just let me know. I will definitely cooperate and carry forward the External Editorial Department. I will never let other departments look down on us two newcomers." We must not engage in internal strife, lest we be laughed at by outsiders, and neither of us will be able to sit firmly on the stool.
"I'm glad to hear that. Please forgive me for being so formal. We have worked together for so many years. It doesn't matter whether I give orders or not. Let's work together and cooperate with each other to make the Foreign Affairs Department better and stronger." As long as you don't cause trouble, I definitely won't cause trouble either. We will get along the same way as before and everyone should do their part.
…
After that, Jiang Shushu started to get busy. In the morning, he studied with Director Qian, and in the afternoon, he taught the two new assistants. Occasionally, he also had to familiarize himself with Lin Sanjun's work so that he could better devote himself to his work as the director in the future and facilitate overall management.
…
At the Military and Police University, on the morning of July 5th, Yang Xiaobei woke up an hour earlier than others and put a little bit of smelly grass in the small pocket of his clothes under his arm. When he raised his arm, there was a faint odor, but he couldn't smell it unless he got very close to it. He couldn't smell it when he tucked his arm between his legs.
The six people in the dormitory came to the school training ground together. There were about 600 people on the training ground, all of whom were soldiers and police officers who were going to graduate this year.
The vice-president spoke first, followed by the principal, who personally awarded graduation certificates to the top 30 outstanding students from both the military and police departments.
The six people in Yang Xiaobei's dormitory all have good physical fitness, are very hardworking, and are able to endure hardships. They are also known as six tough guys in the military and police school, so all six of them are on the honor roll of the top 30.
Yang Xiaobei and others went up to the podium and stood there. Yang Xiaobei watched the vice-president shake hands with each person from left to right and put the university diploma in that person's hand.
When it was Yang Xiaobei's turn, the vice principal also smiled and shook hands first, but did not let go immediately. Instead, he kept holding on.
The vice principal raised his left hand and stretched it over Yang Xiaobei's head, then he moved very close to Yang Xiaobei. Immediately, the vice principal smelled a faint strange odor.
Wang Baobao said that Yang Xiaobei had a strange smell. I didn’t believe it at first because no one had ever spread it. But it seems to be true. Although it is very faint, it is there.
The smell isn't strong, so what if a grown man has a little smell? What a fuss! If it weren't for her powerful family background and my desire to avoid trouble, I wouldn't have gone against my conscience to help set them up.
The vice-principal took his hand back, with a thin, short leaf in it. "Student Yang, there's a leaf on your head. Let me help you take it off. Today is a great day, and you can't let this leaf ruin your image. Here's your diploma. Congratulations."
"Thank you, Vice Principal." Luckily, I was prepared. Would this Vice Principal be so serious as to personally test me for body odor? If I hadn't made a dinner appointment two weeks in advance, I would have run away as soon as the meeting was dismissed.
After awarding graduation certificates to outstanding students, the principal personally presented medals for outstanding graduates to three military and police officers.
On the police side, there were three spots, one of which was occupied by Yang Xiaobei. The other two were two people whose performance was comparable to Yang Xiaobei's. Yang Xiaobei's physical fitness was so good because he drank the Nine Heavens Mysterious Deer Milk, and the other two were so good because they had practiced martial arts since childhood.
Yang Xiaobei and the other two were highly praised by the principal, who also asked them to give speeches...
It was not until 1:30 p.m. that the principal announced the disbanding of the class and asked all students to leave the school before July 7.
As soon as the group disbanded, Qian Xiaobao immediately found Yang Xiaobei and said, "Congratulations, congratulations! Xiaobei, can you lend me your medal? It's so golden and shiny." He didn't know if it was real gold. If it was, he would be rich.
