Liu Lihai began with the family members of the two dead old teachers making a big fuss in his office. He talked about how Wu Yueying had helped him out. He also talked about Gu Desheng's attitude towards him. He talked about the process of going to the countryside and his mood. Finally, he said to Gong Daojin, "Secretary Gong, I was wrong. I thought that with enthusiasm and drive, I could bring about the reform I wanted. However, I have no practical experience, and I don't have the personal experience of living in this land. To put it bluntly, my reform is still idealistic and divorced from real life. Now, I need your guidance, and I need your help even more. I shouldn't think that reform is work, and reform is results. I was too eager to get something done, but I didn't consider that I don't have the ability to do it at all. Now, the news of the education reform has spread throughout Lin County. Secretary Gong, what do you think I should do? "
Liu Lihai's words were very sincere and true. Gong Daojin's concerns were dispelled by his words. Only then did he know that he had thought too much. Other than being eager to get results, this boy didn't have that many thoughts. However, he still couldn't figure out Liu Shouwang and Shi Zhilin's attitude. He didn't know what the two of them were playing. He asked Liu Lihai, "Did Liu Shouwang and Shi Zhilin know about your reform in advance?"
"In advance, I didn't tell anyone. I just directly submitted the education reform plan. Maybe I've been in the newspaper office for a long time. After a plan is submitted in the newspaper office, it's discussed at the meeting, and then it's over. "Liu Lihai said this in a somewhat defensive manner.
Gong Daojin glanced at Liu Lihai. He knew that Liu Lihai was telling the truth. However, he had to remind Liu Lihai that there was a big difference between the government and the newspaper office. Any action and decision of the government involved the survival and interests of thousands of individuals. The newspaper office played a word game, and it was very virtual. But what the government faced was real swords and real guns. If they were not careful, they would be hit, and their reputation would be ruined. These were not words of intimidation. In the face of power and profit, few people could remain calm. Especially in a special place like Lin County, reform was easy, but implementation was too difficult. Lin County and Beijing were inextricably linked, and Liu Lihai couldn't figure out these relationships at all. He had been struggling in Lin County for decades. There were many things that he did not dare to touch easily. How could Liu Lihai solve these intertwined interpersonal relationships? It wasn't that he didn't agree with the reform, but the first thing that needed to be done in the reform was the reform of personnel. If the reform of people couldn't affect them, then there was no point in discussing the reform.
Gong Daojin asked Liu Lihai, "What do you plan to do if the education reform fails?"
Liu Lihai thought for a moment and said, "The worst outcome is to leave officialdom. However, I'm not afraid. I still have a pen. I can support myself. "
"What about Xiao Yu?" Gong Daojin asked Liu Lihai.
"She, she …" Liu Lihai was stuck. He never thought that Gong Yue's life would be linked to his. But when Gong Daojin asked him this, he looked up at Gong Daojin, and there was a layer of thick fatherly love in Gong Daojin's eyes. Every time he saw Gong Daojin's love for his daughter, he would feel touched and envious. This was another kind of understanding of Gong Daojin when he came to Gong Yue's family. This kind of understanding often involuntarily made his relationship with Gong Daojin closer. He even recognized such a father in his heart, and he was so eager that one day Gong Daojin would become his father.
After stuttering, Liu Lihai quickly said, "Secretary Gong, don't worry. As long as I can still work, I won't let Xiao Yu be wronged."
Liu Lihai's confession obviously made Gong Daojin very happy and moved. He was even more convinced that he did not choose the wrong person. If Xiao Yu was handed over to him, she would not be wronged for the rest of her life. But he was still worried. If Liu Lihai insisted on implementing his education reform plan, would he really stand by and do nothing? He said to Liu Lihai, "You came to Lin County for a while, and then you want to go back to Jingjiang City. Why do you want to get involved in the reform?"
When Liu Lihai heard Gong Daojin's words, he was a little anxious. He was afraid that Gong Daojin would stop him from carrying out the education reform. If Gong Daojin stopped him, as Sun Xiaomu said, it would be difficult for him to gain a foothold in Lin County. He was not willing to really cross the Du Jin and muddle along for a few days. He was still young, and his ideals and ambitions were very high and far away. He was not satisfied with the muddle along as Gu Desheng said. He wanted to delay it for a few years. When his years in office passed, it would be solved by the next leader. What he needed now was experience, and experience had to be accumulated through doing practical things. Those who did not really enter into practical problems to solve the problem were just spectators of success and failure. At his current age, it was not the age to muddle along, and it was not a problem that could be solved by crossing the Du Jin.
The purpose of Liu Lihai's visit to Gong Daojin was to persuade him to support him. No matter what, he must try to let Gong Daojin understand his thoughts and support his ideas. Therefore, he said to Gong Daojin, "Secretary Gong, I haven't been in Lin County for a long time, but I have always been very grateful to you for supporting me to boldly carry out my work. In dealing with unexpected incidents twice, I have learned practical experience in dealing with unexpected incidents, and I have also trained my psychological endurance to deal with unexpected incidents. To be honest, before I came to Lin County, when I was interviewing unexpected incidents, I often laughed at some officials in my heart. I looked down on them and thought that they were all idiots who only knew how to eat rice. I thought that a matter should be handled this way, but not the way they said it should be handled. Now, when I deal with unexpected incidents myself, I find that many things affect my ability to bear certain things and the way I deal with problems. However, after experiencing such things many times, as long as one is not too stupid, he or she will be able to sum up a set of rules that he or she needs. At least in the two unexpected incidents, I have concluded a rule. No matter how urgent the incident is, one must have a good psychological quality, and they must speak sincerely, do things sincerely, and pass on their sincere message to the people at the scene. Only in this way can they guide the situation to the results they want. Secretary Gong, I don't know if this conclusion of mine is correct. If it is, I still hope that you can support me and give it a try. I also know that reform is difficult, but I am so young. If I do not have the experience and lessons of reform, it will be disadvantageous for me to enter a greater power center in the future. You don't want Xiao Yu to be wronged with me, and I don't want Xiao Yu to look down on me. All these achievements can only be obtained by doing real work. I think it is unrealistic to want to have achievements without putting in effort. What do you think, Secretary Gong? "
Gong Daojin was moved by Liu Lihai's words. When he was young, he was also as daring and able to fight as Liu Lihai. In Lin County, he had the title of "Desperate Man". Without his previous efforts, he would not have been able to keep his word in Lin County today. Now, he often felt that he was old and could not fight anymore. Slowly, he became more and more conservative, and more and more disgusted with the talk of reform. But today, he seemed to see a younger version of himself in Liu Lihai. A burst of momentum made his blood boil with Liu Lihai. He said to Liu Lihai, "I am very happy that you have such an idea. You can change it freely. I will support you. However, when you are at home, don't call me Secretary Gong. It sounds awkward. "
Liu Lihai heard the words that he wanted to hear the most. His efforts had finally paid off. He was happy and really said to Gong Daojin, "Thank you so much for your support, Dad."
Gong Daojin was stunned for a moment, then happily agreed. He even shouted at Fang Yezi outside the door. Fang Yezi thought that something had happened and hurriedly ran in to ask him, "What's wrong?"
Gong Daojin pointed at Liu Lihai and said, "Hurry up and call me Mom."
Liu Lihai had no choice but to look at Fang Yezi and call out, "Mom." Fang Yezi also responded happily. She was so excited that she did not know where to put her hands. She called Gong Yue in. Gong Yue had already heard Liu Lihai calling out "Mom." She stared at Liu Lihai, but still said happily, "Look at how happy you are. You have a son and you have forgotten about your daughter."
Gong Daojin and Fang Yezi laughed heartily. Ever since they found out about Gong Yue and the hooligans, they had never heard such laughter in this house again. Now, because of Liu Lihai's unconscious "Dad", the house was filled with laughter that they had not heard for a long time. For the sake of this laughter, Gong Daojin decided that he must support Liu Lihai.
Liu Lihai began to carry out his education reform plan in Lin County. He held a county-wide headmaster's work conference. At the conference, he announced that his education reform plan would be carried out within three years. And from now on, the procedures for village teachers to enter county schools would be stopped. Teachers without qualifications would all be dismissed. As soon as he announced this plan, the headmasters were in an uproar, especially Gu Desheng. He publicly questioned Liu Lihai at the conference, "Do the county leaders agree to your reform plan?"
Liu Lihai looked at Gu Desheng and said, "I am the county leader in charge of education. Do I need to ask Director Gu for permission to carry out my work?"
Gu Desheng was so angry at Liu Lihai's words that his face turned white and then black. He coldly said to Liu Lihai, "The reform that County Head Liu wants to carry out, I, as the director of education, can't do it. You should find someone else." After saying that, without waiting for Liu Lihai to speak, he got up and left.
After Gu Desheng left, the conference room was in an uproar. Most of the headmasters were whispering to each other. Liu Lihai glanced at the conference room and asked, "Are you going to host this meeting, or do you want me to continue hosting it?"
After Liu Lihai's words fell, the conference room became a little quieter. Only some people were still discussing in low voices. Liu Lihai continued to scan the room with his eyes and said, "Who else among you wants to quit? If you don't want to do it, you can now submit your resignation like Director Gu. But let me say this first. Once you submit your resignation, don't blame me for being merciless. I don't believe that without you, the education industry in Lin County will collapse and there will be no successor! "
