When Wu Zhongqi heard that Wei Gangqiang was transferred from the army where his son was serving, and that the current director of the division political department was his former subordinate, his eyes lit up. His face instantly revealed a look of surprise and excitement.
It turned out that ever since Wu Zhongqi was recognized by Chen Dengfeng, his career had been smooth sailing. He could be said to be proud of his success and had a bright future ahead of him. The only thing that worried him was his son. It was his son, Wu Hualin.
Actually, Wu Hualin was not a mischievous child. On the contrary, he was honest and simple. He was a quiet person of few words and had been very diligent since he was young. From the age of six or seven, he had consciously helped his parents with the housework and had never caused any trouble outside. From this point of view, he was a little like Chen Zhao. But him and Chen Zhao? The biggest difference was that Chen Zhao had excellent grades since he was young, while he was a real "bad student". No matter how hard he worked, no matter how many tutors his parents hired for him, his grades just could not improve. It was like this until he graduated from high school.
Because of this, Wu Zhongqi and his wife racked their brains. With no other choice, they could only send him to the army. They hoped that he would walk the life path of "recommendation to enter the military school, join the party, get promoted, get promoted through experience, be transferred to a battalion or regiment, and work in a local place". That was better than studying in a third-tier university and doing nothing for the rest of his life.
Therefore, after he graduated from high school at the age of eighteen, Wu Zhongqi and his wife sent him to the army. The first three to four years were very smooth. Under the care of his uncle, who was the battalion commander, he was promoted to sergeant two years later and stayed in the army to continue his service. Before that, he had participated in a disaster relief operation in the army. During the disaster relief process, he had risked his life and rushed to the forefront. Together with his comrades, he had successfully rescued several victims buried in the ruins. Because of this, he had been awarded a third-class merit.
Considering that if a sergeant wanted to be recommended by the division headquarters to enroll in the military academy, he had to have at least two third-class merits to meet the basic requirements, his uncle had arranged for him to participate in several military performance presentations. Because his own military skills were excellent, his performance in the presentations was outstanding. Thus, his uncle had instructed the company to report his outstanding achievements to the regimental headquarters, allowing him to obtain a second third-class merit, thus meeting the basic requirements for a recommendation to enroll in the military academy.
However, when his recommendation materials were reported to the political department of the division, the personnel in charge of reviewing his qualifications began to have doubts about his second merit. They believed that his merit this time was not outstanding, and that it was probably just to meet the hard requirements of being recommended to the military academy and had been assessed as meritorious. Therefore, among the seven recommended candidates, he was ranked last and was very likely to be the first to be eliminated …
After hearing the news, Wu Zhongqi was so anxious that he didn't sleep the whole night. The next day, he asked for leave and personally went to the army. He found his lover's cousin and asked him if he had any good friends or fellow countrymen in the political department. Could he find some connections to get Wu Hualin recommended to the military academy?
His lover's cousin told him apologetically that he did not have any connections in the political department, and this final recommendation had to be personally approved by the head of the political department. If they wanted Wu Hualin, who was at the bottom of the list, to enroll in the military academy, they would have to ask the head of the political department, Du Jianjun, to intercede. Otherwise, no one would be able to do anything about it!
At the same time, he also told Wu Zhongqi that after Wu Hualin's recommendation was eliminated this time, he would not have a second chance to be recommended. His path now was either to study hard and get into the military academy based on his own ability, or to continue being a sergeant peacefully and gradually increase his rank through experience. If he could be promoted to a fourth-class sergeant after ten or so years, that would also be a pretty good future …
However, Wu Zhongqi did not want his son to spend ten or so years in the army as a sergeant. He also knew that his son would not be able to get into the military academy based on his own ability, so during this period of time, he had been burning with anxiety and barely had a good night's sleep …
Now, when he suddenly heard Wei Gangqiang say that the head of the political department in the division his son was in was an old subordinate of his, his heart could not help but tremble. It was like a person walking in the dark of night suddenly discovering a ray of light in front of him. His despairing heart was instantly filled with great hope. He turned his head and stared straight at Wei Gangqiang, asking in a slightly anxious tone, "Director Wei, is Director Du Junjian really your old comrade, your old subordinate? Are you still in contact? "
Because this matter concerned his son's future and life, when Wu Zhongqi asked Wei Gangqiang this question, his voice trembled slightly because he was too agitated and excited …
Wei Gangqiang laughed and said, "Secretary Wu, how can this be false? To be honest, when I was a company commander in the army, Du Junjian had just enlisted not long ago and was my orderly for a year. After I became a battalion commander, I single-handedly arranged for Du Jianjun to join the party and be promoted. As long as he was on leave, he would definitely come to my place to play for a day or two. His lover was also a matchmaker for me — she is a colleague of my wife's. Not long ago, he came back to visit his family and even told me something. He said that he would be preparing to leave the army after one or two years and would like to work in the Nanjiang Provincial Public Security Bureau. He asked me to help him get a better position in advance. "
When Wu Zhongqi heard that he actually had such a close relationship with Du Junjian, he was so excited that he nearly jumped out of his seat. With great difficulty, he managed to control his emotions and said to Wei Gangqiang, "Director Wei, since you have such a good relationship with Department Head Du Junjian, I would like to ask for your help with my son's matter. When the time is right, tell Department Head Du to see if he can recommend my son to the military academy as a priority candidate so that he doesn't get rejected."
Wei Gangqiang replied repeatedly, "Okay, okay."
To show his sincerity, he immediately took out his phone and dialed Du Junjian's number. At the same time, he also pressed the hands-free button so that Wu Zhongqi could hear his conversation with Du Junjian.
After the ringtone rang twice, the other side immediately picked up. A warm voice came from the other side, "Old Chief, good afternoon. Haven't you taken your lunch break yet?"
Wei Gangqiang smiled and said, "Xiao Du, I'm having lunch with a few leaders now! There's something I want to tell you. Regarding your transfer, I went to Director Deng yesterday and reported your situation to him. When he heard that you want to work in our department, he was very happy and asked me to tell you two things. First, he and the Nanjiang Provincial Public Security Bureau welcome you to work in our department. Second, the department's Party Committee will seriously consider your position and position based on your strengths and abilities. "
Du Junjian said happily, "Thank you, Old Chief, for your trouble! During this year's Spring Festival, I still have a family visit leave. When the time comes, please take me to visit Director Deng, okay? "
Wei Gangqiang agreed readily, "No problem."
