Li Rui smiled and asked, "Why did you buy it when you don't drink it?" Ou Yangxin said, "I bought it to entertain guests." Li Rui asked again, "Since it's to entertain guests, why are you giving it to me?" Ou Yangxin said, "You're such a troublemaker! It's up to you whether you want it or not. If you don't want it, then so be it. My good intentions are met with rejection. Humph. "Li Rui smiled and said softly," I'm just thinking for you. I want to save the tea for you. But the tea is a small matter. I want to go to your place and sit for a while. Wait for me tonight. "
After the date was set, Li Rui not only did not feel happy, but also became depressed. Ever since he met Ou Yangxin, he had been receiving gifts from the other party, such as platinum membership cards, sea cucumbers, lobsters … all kinds of expensive gifts, and so on. Even if the two of them had changed from ordinary friends to the so-called "confidante" of Ou Yangxin, this beautiful woman still spared no effort to give him things. Although these gifts were not bribes, but purely to express her love and intimacy to him, in the end, they were all real gold and silver. Looking back at him, he had received so many benefits from her, but he had never given her any gifts in return. This made him feel a very strong sense of failure and guilt. He felt that he was a failure as a person and as a friend of Ou Yangxin. He also felt that he was unworthy of her tenderness and good intentions.
In fact, when making friends, no matter what kind of relationship it was, in terms of giving gifts or treating people to a meal, it was always good to have a relationship. If one party always accepted the other party's gifts and did not give anything in return, not to mention whether the friendship could be maintained, there would be a problem with the person's character.
Li Rui couldn't be happy because of this. He was worried. What should he do to repay Ouyang Xin? In fact, giving a woman a gift was very simple. It was nothing more than jewelry, clothes, and cosmetics. There was nothing special about it. However, he considered that Ou Yangxin had given him daily necessities like food. If he gave her jewelry, clothes, and cosmetics, compared to the things she had given him, it would be too obvious. Would it be rude to her?
His thoughts ran wild and he couldn't make up his mind for a while. Later, he thought about it again. Why should he insist on giving her some small gifts in return? He only needed to help her set up the framework of the wild vegetable processing plant. Wasn't that the best gift he could give her? Besides, she had deep feelings for him, so why would she do it for him to give her a gift in return? Sigh, if that's the case, I'm really petty.
At three o 'clock in the afternoon, Sang Tongguang, the director of the Municipal Education Bureau, came to report to Song Chaoyang about the latest progress of the "Introducing a Higher School", one of the sub-projects of the "Five-one Project". Li Rui also stayed in Song Chaoyang's office to listen.
This week, Sang Tongguang personally went to the Provincial Education Bureau to learn about the preliminary situation with his close friends and the head of the corresponding department. The result was not very optimistic. The Provincial Education Bureau's Development Planning Department had a list of colleges and universities waiting to be built, rebuilt, and proposed. However, those colleges and universities already belonged to the prefectures and cities. In other words, they all had their own families. Since they already had their own families, they naturally wouldn't go to other families to beg for money. For example, the original Jingnan Medical College was going to be built as Jingnan Medical College. It was obvious from the name that it belonged to Jingnan City. How could it be built in Qingyang City? Since it was a proposed college, there was no need to talk about rebuilding it. Naturally, it would be rebuilt in the prefectures and cities of the original location. It wouldn't benefit Qingyang City either. The colleges waiting to be built were all applied to the Provincial Education Bureau by the prefectures and cities of the province together with the local vocational colleges. To put it bluntly, they still had their own families. They wouldn't casually move to Qingyang City to build a school.
After listening to Sang Tongguang's introduction, Song Chaoyang felt like dying. With a bitter face, he stared blankly at the table and couldn't say a word.
Fortunately, Old Sang immediately told him a piece of good news. An old friend of his in the Provincial Education Bureau gave him an idea. If Qingyang City insisted on building a college and university, there were currently two shortcuts. The first was to use the existing vocational colleges in Qingyang City, such as the Qingyang Academy of Music and Art, to invest more in the school's infrastructure, increase the number of subjects and majors, enhance the school's hardware and software level, and expand the teaching staff and the scale of the school. Then, on this basis, apply to the Ministry of Education to upgrade it to an undergraduate college. As long as the National College of Music and Art passed the evaluation, it would be upgraded. Then, Qingyang City would have a historic college and university. The second was to use the method of joint venture between the government and famous colleges in the country or even foreign universities to build a brand new college. Of course, this was also subject to the approval of the Ministry of Education. There were many examples like this in the country, and there was a lot of experience to follow. However, the difficulty was also very high. After all, not every university was willing to invest in a new college and university. Even if they wanted to build one, they might not necessarily choose a small city like Qingyang City, which was ranked between third and fourth tier.
After listening to Sang Tongguang's words, Song Chaoyang regained some vitality, as if he was a drowning person who had just been fished out of a pond. He asked weakly, "Then … according to Director Sang's opinion, which of these two methods do you think is easier?"
Sang Tongguang smiled bitterly and said, "Secretary, don't blame me for saying this. Based on Qingyang City's foundation, both of these methods are very difficult to operate. But then again, everything depends on human effort. No matter how difficult it is, as long as someone does it, it can be done well. The key is still the 'person'. If we have connections in the Ministry of Education and some famous universities, and if the other party can talk to us and get things done, then both methods can be operated. But in reality, it's still very difficult. After all, the investment required is not just a little bit. It requires land, funds, scale … a lot of things. Of course, if we can overcome all the difficulties and finally do this great thing, then we will definitely leave our names in history. "
Upon hearing the words "leave our names in history", Song Chaoyang's eyes suddenly shot out two beams of light. His whole body was energized, and he seemed to have recovered his fighting strength. He reached out and pressed the table, stood up, and said with a little excitement, "As Party members and cadres, we don't do things for the sake of leaving our names in history. Instead, we sincerely want to do something practical and good for Qingyang City and the six million people in Qingyang City. Of course, if we can realize our value, show our ability, and fulfill our ambitions in the process of doing things, then we will be happy to see it happen. I know that it's difficult to build a university, but it's precisely because it's difficult that we, as leaders and cadres, have to walk at the forefront. We have to cut through the thorns and work hard day and night to pave a good path for future generations. This is where our responsibility lies, and also the historical mission that we shoulder. "
When Sang Tongguang heard that the more he talked, the higher the level, and finally the historical mission, Sang Tongguang was shocked. He hurriedly stood up, nodded repeatedly, and said, "Yes, Secretary, you're right. I didn't know enough, and I didn't have enough determination …"
Song Chaoyang raised his hand and pressed it in the air. He smiled and said, "Why did you get up? I didn't ask you to leave. Sit down and talk."
Sang Tongguang could only sit back down, trembling with fear. Half of his butt was on the edge of the sofa, and his body was tilted. His posture was very strange, as if he had hemorrhoids.
Song Chaoyang pondered for a while, then said, "How about this, Comrade Tongguang, when you go back this time, write a detailed analysis of these two methods for me. What should be listed in the report? Yes, first of all, the various investments needed for these two methods, including money, manpower, land, and so on. List all the resources, and list out the numbers as well. This is very important, after all, it's easier to get things done with connections. After listing them out, we can find cadres and staff at various levels in the city who have the targeted connections, and then use them to get things done. Lastly, list all the difficulties. After I get the report, I want to take a look at it carefully and see how many difficulties we have to overcome. If the difficulties are too great, and the investment is too much, and we can't solve them with our current strength, then we can only give up for the time being. Do you understand what I mean? "
Sang Tongguang stood up again and nodded repeatedly. He said, "I understand, I understand. I understand everything. When I go back, I'll quickly write this analysis report and try to bring it to you as soon as possible."
Song Chaoyang smiled and said, "There's no need to rush. I just need you to do your best. Do you understand? Only when your analysis report is done can we do things according to the rules. It's not an exaggeration to say that I want you to write this report because I want you to do the initial planning of the school. You have to be strict with yourself according to the standards of the planning report. "
Sang Tongguang said, "I understand. Yes, okay, I understand. I promise …"
He made a beautiful promise, then said goodbye and left.
Song Chaoyang smiled bitterly and complained, "Why is it that each of my 'five one projects' is harder than the last?" Li Rui flattered him with a serious expression. "Because boss, what you're doing is creating history in Qingyang."
Song Chaoyang was stunned at first, then pointed at him helplessly and shook his head with a bitter smile.
