Whether a place was stable or not depended on whether the team was harmonious or not. If the team was not harmonious, Liu Shouwang's energy would be consumed by the team. Even if he consumed his energy, he might not be able to control the whole situation. This was the reason why Liu Shouwang was in a passive position. But Liu Shouwang would never be reconciled. If this happened to Liu Lihai, he would not be reconciled either. He was not reconciled to being a decoration for Leng Hongyan, and of course, he was not reconciled to being a decoration for Gong Daojin. After thinking about it, the person he really wanted to get close to was Liu Shouwang. After all, they were graduates of the university. They had common topics and common ideals. But if he got close to Liu Shouwang, it would be a dangerous move. If he made a wrong move, he would be dead.
The sound of knocking on the door interrupted Liu Lihai's thoughts. He quickly deleted Leng Hongyan's message and got up to open the door. When he opened the door, Xiao Zhou was standing outside. As soon as he saw Liu Lihai, he greeted respectfully, "Good morning, Mr. Liu."
Liu Lihai smiled and said to Xiao Zhou, "Don't be too restrained in the future. After all, I'm only two years older than you."
Xiao Zhou smiled and said respectfully, "Even a day older is a leader."
Liu Lihai didn't say anything more. He remembered a sentence written in a novel about officialdom. When it was time for an official to put on airs, he had to put on airs. The more he put on airs, the more charming and respectable he would be. Officials had to wrap themselves in mystery. Whoever was in the depths of the clouds would be able to climb higher. Just like a mountain, the higher it was, the more clouds there would be around it.
Xiao Zhou continued, "Mr. Liu, I'm here to pick you up. Your activity today is to attend a donation ceremony at Mingchuan Hope Primary School."
After listening to Xiao Zhou, Liu Lihai asked, "Who else will attend the donation ceremony?"
Xiao Zhou said, "I don't know the details. Minister Wu asked me to pick you up and send you to Mingchuan Hope Primary School."
Liu Lihai did not ask any more questions. He followed Xiao Zhou to Mingchuan Hope Primary School. On the way, Liu Lihai asked Xiao Zhou, "Does this car belong to Minister Wu?"
Xiao Zhou obviously did not expect Liu Lihai to ask this question. He was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to answer. Liu Lihai said, "You will be my driver in the future."
Little Zhou was still taken aback. He seemed to be emboldening himself, but he also seemed to be looking for the right words to say. In the end, he told Liu Lihai that the car was indeed Minister Wu's. Minister Wu had just changed his car last year. Among the deputy county heads, Liu Lihai's current car was the best.
Liu Lihai replied with an "Oh" and didn't continue asking. Clearly, Little Zhou was very afraid of Wu Yueying, or rather, Little Zhou was afraid of Gong Daojin, who was behind Wu Yueying.
Mingchuan Hope Primary School was in the south of Lin County. Although it was not in the downtown area and was relatively remote, it was still in the county. It was a school donated by the revolutionary descendants of Lin County in Beijing. Many children from working families in Lin County studied in this school. The biggest feature was that the children who studied in this school did not have to pay a penny. Of course, most of them were the children of families with connections.
Liu Lihai knew the characteristics of this school. He had been to this school for an interview before. However, as a leader attending the event today, he did not know what it would be like. When Xiao Zhou drove the car into Mingchuan Hope Primary School, Lu Weimin, the principal of Mingchuan Hope Primary School, was waiting for them at the school gate with the teachers. As soon as Xiao Zhou's car stopped, Principal Lu came up. Liu Lihai knew him. Last time he came to interview, it was Principal Lu who received him. Principal Lu was very eloquent. He did not need Liu Lihai to enlighten him. He knew what to say. To put it bluntly, the job of interviewing was to guide the interviewee on the path required for reporting. They just had to follow the jargon required for reporting. No matter how radical or how much theory you had, if you couldn't get into the newspaper, you wouldn't be able to get into the newspaper.
Lu Weimin was in his fifties. It was said that he and Gong Daojin's wife taught in the same village-run primary school. He had saved Gong Daojin's wife's life. After Gong Daojin entered the county, Lu Weimin followed. When the first Hope Primary School in Lin County was completed, Lu Weimin was transferred from the vice principal of Lin County No. 2 Primary School to be the principal here. During the last interview, Lu Weimin praised Gong Daojin. If Gong Daojin did not carry the tea leaves from Lin County to the capital, there would be no Hope Primary School in Mingchuan. In a sense, Lu Weimin was the shadow hiding behind Gong Daojin. The first event that Liu Lihai attended in Lin County was obviously arranged by Gong Daojin.
When Liu Lihai walked out of the car, Lu Weimin came up to him warmly and held his hand tightly. He said, "Magistrate Liu, thank you for your hard work. During the last interview, I felt that you were different from others. Your future was immeasurable. " As he spoke, he introduced Liu Lihai to the people who came to greet him. Among them was a very young girl. Lu Weimin specially pulled her to Liu Lihai and said, "This is Gong Yue, who came to our school to volunteer. Are you interested in having an interactive class with the students?"
Gong Yue squinted at Liu Lihai and snorted. Although the sound was not loud, Liu Lihai still heard it. The disdainful look made Liu Lihai very unhappy. He blurted out without thinking, "Okay."
Lu Weimin obviously did not expect Liu Lihai to agree so readily. He quickly said to the girl named Gong Yue, "Xiao Gong, go to the classroom and get ready. Let Magistrate Liu have a class with you."
Gong Yue did not look at Liu Lihai again and went straight to the classroom. Lu Weimin hurriedly said to Liu Lihai, "Thank you, Magistrate Liu, for being willing to give a wonderful class to the students. The reporters of the TV station are waiting at the door of the classroom. Magistrate Liu, please."
Liu Lihai groaned inwardly. He didn't expect Lv Weimin to have already made preparations, but he didn't know anything about today's activities. He felt that everyone knew, but he didn't know. He allowed others to manipulate his whereabouts. No wonder a small female teacher dared to look down on him. She might even be cursing him in her heart for putting on a show the moment he took office. He thought so in his heart, but there was no way back. He had no choice but to be led to the classroom by Lu Weimin.
When he entered the classroom, there were indeed two TV reporters standing at the door of the classroom. Liu Lihai was too familiar with their posture and movements. When the two reporters saw Liu Lihai, they were stunned for a moment. They probably did not expect Liu Lihai to be so young. But just after a while, they said in unison, "Hello, Magistrate Liu." It seemed that everything was in their plan. Besides catering to them, Liu Lihai had no other choice. But he did not understand why Gong Daojin wanted him to go on TV. Wasn't there a donation event? Why was he the only leader present? Why weren't the other leaders present? These questions were pressing on his heart. He was eager to know, but he had no way to know. He could only listen to Lu Weimin's arrangement.
As soon as Liu Lihai stood on the podium, all the students stood up and shouted in unison, "Welcome to Mingchuan Hope Primary School, Magistrate Liu. Please give us a lecture." The two reporters kept taking pictures. Gong Yue, who was standing behind the students, had a disdainful look on her face. Liu Lihai could not care so much. He began to talk to the students about the importance of learning and his childhood. When he was talking about these, he forgot that he was the deputy magistrate who had just taken office. He was completely immersed in school life. He told these students that when he was in school, he always wanted to be the first in his class. This was not only a matter of goal, but also a positive attitude. If a person had this kind of positive habit from a young age, they could climb up even the highest mountain. Finally, he gave a sentence to the students: There is no river that cannot be crossed, and there is no mountain that cannot be crossed.
As soon as Liu Lihai's words fell, the whole classroom was filled with warm applause. Even Gong Yue, who was standing in the back row, applauded him excitedly. Seeing all this, Lv Weimin showed a gratified and relieved smile on his face. This smile was seen by Liu Lihai. He believed that all this was instructed by Gong Daojin to do this, but he did not know Gong Daojin's real purpose.
After Liu Lihai walked out of the classroom, Lv Weimin hurriedly followed. When he took Liu Lihai to the principal's office, Gong Yue caught up from behind. She looked at Liu Lihai and said, "You taught so well. If you don't mind, can I invite you to teach my students next time?"
Only then did Liu Lihai look at Gong Yue seriously. The strange thing was that the expression on Gong Yue's face was similar to Sun Xiaomu's. They both had a kind of clear eyes and a kind of compelling arrogance. This kind of arrogance was the arrogance that Liu Lihai had always wanted to have, but he had never been able to do it, or perhaps he had never possessed it. Gong Yue had short hair and was dressed like a boy, which was different from Sun Xiaomu. Sun Xiaomu always wore a long dress and was soft and quiet. There was always a kind of impulse that made Liu Lihai want to protect and love her. Gong Yue did not have this kind of softness. What she had was a kind of wildness. This wildness made her dare to look at Liu Lihai with disdain. She also dared to look directly at Liu Lihai and ask him to come to class again.
Liu Lihai smiled and nodded. Gong Yue ran away in satisfaction. Lu Weimin hurriedly explained on Gong Yue's behalf. This child was in the fourth year of university and was in the process of an internship. He asked Liu Lihai not to blame her for being rude and rude.
Liu Lihai still looked at Lu Weimin with a smile and said, "It's okay. I was like this when I was your age."
Lu Weimin did not continue talking about this matter. Instead, he changed the topic and said, "Magistrate Liu, Secretary Gong and Elder Pan will arrive at 9: 30. Elder Pan is the old head of Lin County. This time, he donated all his savings and a calligraphy painting with his own handwritten inscription," Mingchuan Hope Primary School. "Secretary Gong said that he hoped that you and I would receive this calligraphy painting together."
Liu Lihai replied with an "oh". He did not ask about the detailed arrangements of this event. Although he really wanted to know, he resisted the urge to ask. He wanted to move with silence. His current actions had been arranged in advance. He was just a prop. It was just that whether this act was real or not depended on his acting skills.
