A week passed in the blink of an eye. Chen Xing, together with Lin Yupei, the deputy director of the office, and several staff members, as well as several authoritative experts in the field of computer science, boarded a flight from Beijing to Hai City. The purpose of this trip was to inspect and evaluate whether the scientific research level of the computer science laboratory of Hai City University was up to the standard of applying for the establishment of a national experimental center. Once the application for the establishment of a national experimental center was approved, the university could receive special financial subsidies from the Ministry of Finance. In addition to the benefits of financial allocation, being able to establish a national experimental center was also an affirmation of the university's own teaching and scientific research strength, which was also good for enhancing the university's reputation.
With these benefits, the enthusiasm of a university to apply for the establishment of a national experimental center was self-evident. As long as it was a key university with relatively strong scientific research strength, whether it was directly under the Ministry or under the charge of the local government, it would actively apply for the establishment of a national experimental center. Last year, many universities had applied one after another, but the Ministry had only approved a total of five key universities for the establishment of relevant national experimental centers in well-known disciplines. Most of them were mainly science and engineering schools or universities with strong comprehensive strength. Therefore, although there were many universities that applied, there were not many that were approved. Except for those key universities that were ranked among the top in the country, ordinary undergraduate schools did not dare to apply for the establishment of a national experimental center.
Hai City University was a key university directly under the Ministry of Education and one of the two best universities in Jianghai Province. Lin Yupei reported the situation to Chen Xing because the deputy director in charge at that time did not investigate the actual situation of Hai City University and rejected the application with a stroke of a pen. Whether what Lin Yupei said was true or not, or because she knew that Hai City University was Chen Xing's alma mater and wanted to take this opportunity to curry favor with Chen Xing, Chen Xing himself was willing to give Hai City University another chance. No matter how long a person had graduated, there would always be an indelible affection for his alma mater.
On the plane, Chen Xing looked solemn and pensive. Lin Yupei sat next to him when she changed her boarding pass today, so their seats were next to each other. It was rare that Lin Yupei did not take the initiative to talk to Chen Xing. These days, a lot of things had happened. For Lin Yupei, she would face greater challenges next, because Wang Rongyan had been officially transferred away. After a few days of rumors, the Ministry appointed Wang Rongyan as the Secretary of the Party Committee of Nanzhou University. The former Secretary of the Party Committee of Nanzhou University retired due to age. A deputy director of the Ministry and relevant leaders of the Central Organization Department went to the University of Nanzhou to announce Wang Rongyan's appointment. The Deputy Governor of Nanhai Province in charge of education and the cadres of the Nanzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government attended the meeting.
Along with the appointment notice of Wang Rongyan's transfer, Deputy Director of the Department of Higher Education, Chen Danying, became the Director of the Department of Higher Education. This result made people's jaws drop, and it was also beyond many people's expectations. Wang Rongyan was transferred away quickly, and Chen Danying replaced him quickly. Chen Danying, who had never shown her talent, once again opened people's eyes. This year, Chen Danying, who was only 35 years old, became the youngest director level cadre in the Ministry. No one knew how Chen Danying got there, but Chen Danying did.
The relationship between Lin Yupei and Chen Danying couldn't be said to be good, but it also couldn't be said to be bad. In short, it was a normal working relationship, and there was no personal relationship between them. However, there was an undeniable fact that because of Wang Rongyan's backing, Lin Yupei, as the Deputy Director of the Office, didn't really care about Chen Danying. Now that Chen Danying became the head, Lin Yupei was more or less worried that Chen Danying would use her to establish her authority. Now, she could only cling to Chen Xing's thigh.
Director Wang left in a hurry the day before yesterday. Director Danying even asked our office to organize a farewell party for Director Wang. Director Wang hung up as soon as he answered the phone. Lin Yupei said in a low voice.
Chen Xing smiled. In Wang Rongyan's eyes, Chen Danying's action might be sarcasm and ridicule. Director Wang was demoted and was in a bad mood. Yet, Chen Danying still held a farewell party. It would be strange if Wang Rongyan didn't hang up after receiving the phone call. If it were Chen Xing, he definitely wouldn't attend this bullsh * t farewell party. The new people laugh while the old people cry. However, there was no need to ridicule Director Wang like this before he left. This was what he thought. Of course, it was also possible that he was gauging the heart of a gentleman with his own mean measure. Perhaps Chen Danying had good intentions. However, in this indifferent officialdom, no one would think that way.
Ignoring Lin Yupei's words, for Chen Xing, these struggles for power and profit in the Ministry had little to do with him. Chen Xing himself didn't know how long he would stay in the Ministry. It could be two years, or a little longer, but it couldn't be too long. Chen Xing knew that his future was not in the Ministry of Education. This was just a transition, so Chen Xing didn't care too much about the transfer of personnel within the Ministry. Anyway, his idea was to concentrate on his own work and use the power in his hands to do more practical things. Education was related to the prosperity of a country and the future of the motherland. Chen Xing didn't think of himself as a noble person, but Chen Xing dared to say that he had done some things with a clear conscience.
Looking out of the window, Chen Xing sighed softly. He had just received the news yesterday that Wu Gubo, the President of Dongjiang University, would be prosecuted by the Dongzhou Municipal Procuratorate. What was waiting for Wu Gubo might be life imprisonment, or ten or twenty years of imprisonment, or even longer. No matter what the court sentenced him, for Wu Gubo, the latter half of his life had been ruined. He was already in his fifties, and it was possible that he would die of old age in prison. Even if he didn't, when he came out, he would be at the end of his life.
This was the end of a good person who wanted to do good! In the face of power, Wu Gubo, a university president, could only choose such an extreme way to try to let those evil people get the punishment they deserved. This was such a sad fact. Perhaps Wu Gubo had his own selfish motives, but it couldn't be denied that he wanted to do good.
Qin Jianhui, the Secretary of the Party Committee of Dongjiang University, was suspended. For now, it was just a suspension. The Dongjiang Provincial Party Committee did not make any further statement. However, Qin Jianhui's son was prosecuted for the crimes of hit-and-run, illegal assault on a girl, and serious consequences. The President of the Dongjiang Provincial High Court had stood out and stated that the case would be heard in a fair, open, and fair manner. The law would be the yardstick, and the facts would be the basis. A fair judgment would be made.
There was no doubt that the President of the Dongjiang Provincial High Court's statement was due to Qin Shouzheng's special status. Coupled with the media reports adding fuel to the fire, the court had no choice but to make a statement in order to calm the public and stop them from talking. However, behind the scenes, Duan Guorong, the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee of Dongjiang Province, must have given the instruction. Without Duan Guorong's approval, even the President of the Dongjiang Provincial High Court would not have the guts to stand out and take the risk of offending Qin Jiande. The so-called judicial independence was just a false independence. Replacing the law with power was a daily occurrence.
Chen Xing was also waiting to see what kind of crime Qin Shouzheng would be charged with in the end, and what kind of punishment he would receive. He also wanted to know if the Dongjiang Provincial District Court could really withstand the interference of human factors and the power pressure from the upper echelons to conduct an open and fair trial, so that the deceased could rest in peace and the living could be accounted for.
"Director Lin, when we arrive in Hai City, you and the experts can go to Hai City University first. I have some personal matters to attend to." Chen Xing looked at the time. In half an hour, the plane would land at Hai City Airport. Chen Xing was not in a good mood at all. This trip to Hai City was originally for official business, but the phone call from Deng Ying made Chen Xing's heart feel like a stone was pressing on it. Xing Tiande, this person, had almost disappeared from his memory, but now, he had emerged like a ghost. The former top secret of Hai City was now a prisoner. Chen Xing thought that Xing Tiande deserved it. He had not forgotten that Xing Tiande had schemed against him. He had thought that he had nothing to do with Xing Tiande anymore, but the sudden phone call added another worry to Chen Xing's mind.
Well, Director Chen must have a lot of things to do when he returned to his hometown. Lin Yupei smiled and nodded, not asking any more questions. Chen Xing was a little absent-minded, and Lin Yupei's thoughts were also wandering. Today, she wanted to use the same trick to seduce Chen Xing, but there was no progress at all, so Lin Yupei lost confidence in her own beauty.
Or, was Chen Xing a cold person? It was not that Lin Yupei had not thought of this, but it did not seem like Chen Xing. With such a beautiful wife at home, Lin Yupei did not believe that Chen Xing would be a cold person. Moreover, she insisted on going against Chen Xing. As a man, did he really not have an affair? Was there really a peerless man in this world? Lin Yupei did not believe it herself. She also did not think that such a man existed. In order to have a backer again, Lin Yupei had to go against Chen Xing.
It was rare for her to come back, so she used this opportunity to go home to see her parents. Chen Xing smiled.
If Director Chen does not mind, I also want to visit uncle and auntie. I have come to Director Chen's hometown, so it seems unreasonable not to pay them a visit. Lin Yupei stared at Chen Xing, seemingly joking.
"Director Lin, you are too polite. There is no need to go through so much trouble. My parents also like quiet people." Chen Xing smiled and shook his head, politely refusing Lin Yupei's kindness.
