Chapter 97 The person in power is called Chen Zhuo In the past, Qi Zheng handled the application reports for these activity budgets basically in the order of submission time. Of course, there will be people who cut in line, for example, if a leader or a familiar friend says hello, then you can get approval first. As for the rest, it depends on fate. When it’s your turn or if we notice you first, we’ll review your application first. If you are unlucky, it doesn’t matter. Qi Zheng organizes the documents about once every two weeks and conducts centralized review and approval of the missed applications. So why it takes two weeks for a report submitted by an ordinary teacher to be approved? It is not because the response time limit of the Budget Management Section is 14 working days (including weekends). It’s just because Qi Zheng’s habit of summarizing and organizing is two weeks. This may sound a bit trifling, but not only in colleges and universities, this kind of situation sometimes occurs even within the system, and it exists openly for many years. But because of this, Chen Zhe has room to perform. Three days later, Chen Zhuo suddenly received a call from Zheng Ju. "Chenzhe!"
Zheng Ju's tone was somewhat excited, but at the same time he was cautious, as if he had discovered a new world and was afraid to share it with others. To sum it up in one word, "rare goods are valuable." "What instructions does Teacher Zheng have?" Chen Zhuo was looking at stocks in the dormitory. "Why call me Mr. Zheng? I'm 28 this year, so I'm only 10 years older than you. Call me Brother Zheng!" Zheng Ju immediately asked Chen Zhuo to change his address, and then said, "Are you free tonight? Let's have some midnight snack at the school gate together?" Chen guessed what the reason was, but he didn't act pretentiously. He touched the remaining 300 yuan on his body and said, "If you want me to treat you, I'll go downstairs now." "You must be kidding. How can a teacher like me cost you money?" Zheng Ju urged, “Come down quickly, we’re at the Northeast BBQ restaurant on Xiadu Road.” Chen Zhuo hung up the phone and started to change his clothes. Liu Qiming asked from the side: "Get out, Lao Liu." "Ah." Chen Zhuo responded. "The various departments of the Student Union will begin recruiting new members next week." Liu Qiming patted Chen's shoulder and kindly reminded him: "Since the Propaganda and Dispatching Department is impossible, why don't you try other departments?" The Propaganda and Coordination Department only recruits two men and two women in the new semester. There were originally three competing candidates, but Chen Zhe left midway, which meant he automatically gave up the position. The remaining Liu Qiming and Yang Jinxiang just met the requirements. In fact, Liu looked down upon Yang Jinxiang's character very much, but he was the candidate recommended by Deputy Minister Ai Wentao, and there was nothing he could do about it. …… Chen Zhuo arrived at the Northeastern barbecue restaurant and Zheng Ju was already waiting there. "What do you want to eat? The oysters and lamb kebabs here are pretty good." Zheng Ju handed over the menu and mentioned two signature dishes. It was obvious that he was a regular customer of this restaurant.
After ordering barbecue and beer, the two started chatting casually. Zheng Ju graduated with a master's degree in history from CUHK. After staying on campus, he worked as a counselor for a year and then joined the Youth League Committee. "What about you? Where are you from?" After Zheng Ju finished telling his story, he wanted to know more about who this "relative" Chen Zhe was related to. Why does he have a small room in the Development Planning Office? Why can he still drink tea and enjoy the electric fan in there? The most surprising thing was that the budget application, which usually took two weeks to be approved, received a reply within three days after Chen Zhu helped to forward it. However, is it so easy for Director Chen to be found out? Chen Zhuo only said that he was a native of Guangzhou. My father is a civil servant and my mother is a doctor. However, Chen did not elaborate on what level of civil servant his father was, or what title of doctor his mother was, leaving it entirely to Zheng Ju's imagination. However, it was obvious that Zheng Ju's expression was gradually becoming serious. He frowned and it was unknown what he was thinking. He might have thought that Chen's family connections had extended to the school. "Your work-study program is actually fake, right?" Zheng Ju said: "Your family is not short of money." Chen Zhuo glanced at Zheng Ju, shrugged and said, "I have hundreds of thousands of dollars in my stock account." Chen Zhuo did not lie, his original capital was more than 12 yuan, but due to the rise of China Shipbuilding stock, it has increased to more than 30 yuan. After hearing this, Zheng Ju's eyes suddenly showed a kind of shock as if his pupils were shaking. Sure enough, this kid's so-called "work-study program" was just a way for his family to gild his reputation. "I heard that the stock market fluctuates a lot, so you'd better be careful." Zheng Ju didn't know what to say, so he could only pick out two sentences to respond. Unexpectedly, Chen said calmly: "It doesn't matter, the executive director of CITIC Securities will help me supervise the account." Zheng Ju was stunned for a moment, then quickly took out his phone to check: "Song Zuomin?" "Correct." Chen said calmly, "I call him Uncle Song." "Depend on……" Zheng Ju couldn't help but let his imagination run wild again. It seemed that Chen Zhe's family network was quite deep. "By the way, Mr. Zheng." At this time, Chen Zhuo suddenly asked, "I heard that the school student union carries out its work under the guidance of the Youth League Committee, is that right?" "Correct."
Zheng Ju nodded. "Can I join the student union?" Chen asked half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Do you still want to join the student union?" Zheng Ju felt that with Chen Zhe's ability, joining the student union was a complete waste of time. "My mom asked me to join the student union to exercise when I went to college." Chen Zhuo didn't lie this time. In other words, Chen did not lie in every word he said tonight, whether it was the stock amount or the way he addressed Song Zuoming. But the extent to which Zheng Ju imagined was beyond his control. "So it was my family's request..." Zheng Ju nodded to show his understanding. While eating the skewers, he introduced to Chen Zhuo: "Our school student union has a secretariat, general affairs department, liaison department, publicity and research department, project service department, and practice and student development department..." “The Secretariat and General Affairs Department are both good.” Zheng Ju took the initiative to say, "I also have the phone numbers of these two ministers. Let's call them out now. We'll be recruiting new people in a couple of days. You can get to know them first." However, Chen Zhuo shook his head: "Teacher Zheng, I seem to prefer the Publicity and Research Department." "Propaganda and Coordination Department?" Zheng Ju didn't quite understand. This department was not a strong one in the student union. “I just love this department.” Chen said with a bit of stubbornness. Although Zheng Ju didn't understand, he would still try his best to meet this request. If nothing else, then next time he went to the Budget Management Section, at least he would have a place to have a cup of hot tea. Zheng Ju took out his cell phone and looked through it, and suddenly his face looked a little ashamed. Because the Propaganda and Coordination Department had such a low status and many of its functions even overlapped with those of the Secretariat, even the Minister’s contact information was not recorded. There was no other way, so Zheng Ju called Zhao Chen, the president of the school student union. Finally, it was through Zhao Chen that an appointment was made with Du Xiu, the Minister of the Propaganda and Coordination Department. There are a lot of things to do in the department at the beginning of the new semester. Du Xiu, who was in a meeting, suddenly received an invitation from his superior's superior (President of the Student Union) and his superior's superior's superior (Zheng Ju, the instructor of the school Youth League Committee). Du Xiu thought something serious had happened and hurried to Northeast BBQ. Then, in addition to Zheng Ju and Zhao Chen, Du Xiu saw someone he had never expected. Chenzhe. "Why is he here?" Doubts arose in Du Xiu's heart.
Moreover, the tone of voice when Chen Zhuo and Zheng Ju spoke seemed to indicate that they did not have an ordinary relationship. Du Xiu suddenly felt inexplicably flustered. Although he had never offended Chen Zhuo, Chen Zhuo had been wronged at the reunion of the Propaganda Department. "Du Xiu." Zheng Ju was not polite to Du Xiu either. He was one of the instructors and had a lot of say in the school student union. "Chen Zhe is a freshman at Lingyuan. I think he has good qualities and abilities. You can't miss out on such a talent in the Propaganda and Dispatching Department." After Zheng Ju finished speaking, Du Xiu immediately understood the meaning. He calmed his mind, suppressed his doubts and nervousness, and said to Chen: "The Propaganda Department will be recruiting new members in a few days. Junior Brother Chen, don't forget to come for the interview." Chen was still thinking, as if he had forgotten everything that had happened before. He took the initiative to pick up the beer and said to Du Xiu: "Minister Du, please take care of me." Du Xiu quickly filled his own glass, raised it and said, "Brother Chen, you are too polite. Let's work together to make the Propaganda and Coordination Department a success." Chen Zhuo glanced at Zheng Ju, smiled and said, "Under the guidance of Teacher Zheng, let's work together to run the Propaganda and Coordination Department well." "Yes, yes, under the guidance of Teacher Zheng..." Du Xiu's hand holding the cup almost couldn't hold it steady. …… When we returned from the barbecue restaurant, it was almost 12 o'clock. Du Xiu still hadn't figured out what happened today, but he felt as if there was an invisible big hand in the world that easily manipulated the outcomes of many things. And I am one of the people controlled by those big hands. "Hey~" Du Xiu sighed, took out his cell phone and called Ai Wentao. "Minister, what is it?" Ai Wentao asked. "Let me tell you, the Yang Jinxiang you recommended won't be able to join the Propaganda Department this time." Du Xiu said calmly. "why?" Ai Wentao was not stupid either. He quickly realized that someone must have replaced Yang Jinxiang's identity. “Who recommended it?” Ai Wentao's voice was a little angry. He had already made a promise to Yang Jinxiang. So no matter who the other party is, even if he is the vice president or even the president of the student union, you have to ask him for an explanation. "Don't ask me. Anyway, there is no room for change."
Du Xiu just informed Ai Wentao, but before hanging up, he paused and said, "I'll tell you one more thing..." "The person who replaced Yang Jinxiang is called Chen Zhe." ······ (I added an update over the weekend. I'm so tired~. I'll update again tomorrow. Please give me monthly votes.) (End of this chapter)
