Liu Weihong did not call Division Commander Xia, even though he knew that as long as he mentioned Liu Chengjia's name, Division Commander Xia would definitely send a car over. The camaraderie in the army was not fake, not to mention the big signboard of the Old Liu family. However, Haoyang County was too far away from Qingfeng City, and the road conditions were not good. If Division Commander Xia were to send a car from Haoyang County and arrive at Daning City, it would be night time. He couldn't make it for today's flight. He took the bus to Daning and would arrive at night, so he could only catch the flight tomorrow morning. Since the time was the same, there was no need to owe him a favor for nothing.
Liu Weihong planned to keep this connection with Division Commander Xia and visit him when he had the chance.
If the new Haoyang area was established as scheduled, Zhu Jianguo would be transferred to the new area with Commissioner Lu. If he followed, he would be close to Division Commander Xia's station, and it would be convenient for him to visit.
Liu Weihong immediately called Principal Zhu to ask for leave. Principal Zhu asked him what he was doing. He said he was going back to the capital to visit his parents. Wasn't it summer vacation already? As for the rest, he did not say much. It was not a good thing to flaunt the Old Liu family's name before getting the family's recognition again.
Zhu Jianguo laughed when he heard that." What a coincidence. I'm going to Daning for something. Let's go together. It's on the way anyway. You can get on the train at Daning."”
Liu Weihong also felt that it was a coincidence. He smiled and agreed, but he did not tell Zhu Jianguo that he was going to take a plane. At that time, taking the train was the first choice for long-distance business trips. For employees like them, even Zhu Jianguo couldn't easily take a plane back.
Zhu Jianguo told him to wait over the phone. The jeep would pick him up in a while.
Liu Weihong returned to the dormitory first. He said that he was going to pack some toiletries and change of clothes, but in fact, he was saying goodbye to Tang Qiuye.
"Ah, you're going back again? Aiya, why didn't you say so earlier? I prepared something for you…"
Tang Qiuye was caught off guard and shouted.
"Haha, no need. Next time. This time, it was my mother's idea to go back and take a look. It's the holidays.”
"That's right, that's right. It's the holidays now. You should go back and visit Uncle and Auntie. This is all my fault. I didn't think so far ahead. Otherwise, I should have prepared something for you to bring back…You guys don't care about anything in the big city.”
Tang Qiuye couldn't help but feel sorry for herself.
Liu Weihong smiled and touched her face. Even though they didn't " succeed " that day, the relationship between the two had changed. They were like lovers, and there were some intimate actions from time to time. As for Tang Qiuye's retarded husband, neither of them would really treat him as Tang Qiuye's husband. It was an arranged marriage.
In Tang Qiuye's heart, the 'uncle and aunt' she had never met in the capital were her true 'parents-in-law'.
"Alright, I'll pack up and leave. Principal Zhu's car will pick me up soon.”
"I'll help you clean up…"
Tang Qiuye said. Without waiting for Liu Weihong to say anything, she went straight to Liu Weihong's dormitory next door and began to pack his washing tools and change his clothes. Liu Weihong's clothes were all washed and collected by her. Liu Weihong himself might not even know where he kept them. Moreover, the dormitory was clean and tidy, no longer as messy as before.
Tang Qiuye very consciously shouldered the responsibility of a wife.
"Weihong, when…when are you coming back?”
Tang Qiuye looked at Liu Weihong as she put everything into her bag. She was always worried that Liu Weihong would never return to the capital.
Her heart was like duckweed, unable to settle down.
"It won't be long. I'll be back soon.”
Liu Weihong hugged her soft body and kissed her cheek.
About half an hour later, Liu Weihong got into Principal Zhu's jeep at the school gate. Tang Qiuye did not come to send him off. This was Liu Weihong's request. It was not good to be too intimate.
After all, Tang Qiuye's marriage and husband in name were still there.
Other than Principal Zhu, there was also a young woman in the jeep. Liu Weihong recognized her as Principal Zhu's daughter. Her name was Zhu Yuxia, and she worked at the local Chinese medicine hospital. He looked to be around 24 or 25 years old, and he looked very delicate. He had a quiet temperament.
Principal Zhu was used to sitting in the front passenger seat, so Liu Weihong and Zhu Yuxia sat in the back.
From this seating arrangement, it could be seen that Principal Zhu had not yet entered the state of being an official. The seat he was sitting in was actually a secret seat. The leader should be sitting in the back row. However, in small places, many people liked to sit in the front passenger seat. There was more space and a wider view.
Naturally, Liu Weihong would not remind Principal Zhu. This feeling of being an official could only be slowly comprehended. There was a saying called "cultivating qi and moving the body", and it made sense. To be honest, the principal of the agricultural school was not a proper official, even though his rank was at the county level. In the future, when Zhu Jianguo officially became the leader of the county, he would slowly understand the feeling of being an official.
"Principal, why are you going to Daning?"
Liu Weihong got into the car and naturally took out a cigarette. He gave one to Principal Zhu and one to the driver.
Before Principal Zhu could say anything, Zhu Yuxia had already spoken. She said,"Dad, don't smoke in the car. It's not good.”
Zhu Yuxia's tone was the same as hers. She was quiet, but her words carried an unquestionable " order ". Liu Weihong had met Zhu Yuxia once when he went to Principal Zhu's house, but they did not talk much. Hearing this, Liu Weihong felt a little embarrassed. Zhu Yuxia was talking about Principal Zhu, but she was actually talking about him. He couldn't wait to offer Principal Zhu a cigarette as soon as he got into the car.
"Alright, alright. I'll listen to my daughter. After all, my daughter is a doctor.”
Zhu Jianguo seemed to like his daughter very much. He immediately took out the cigarette in his mouth and laughed.
The chauffeur put down his cigarette. Of course, Liu Weihong was more self-aware. His smoking addiction was not that serious, so it was fine even if he did not smoke along the way. As long as Principal Zhu could hold it in, so could he.
"Hmph, you're the only one who treats me like a doctor now. Sometimes, I'll work for an entire day, but not a single patient comes to my door.”
Zhu Yuxia's expression turned even uglier.
Principal Zhu's expression was a little awkward. He quickly comforted her,"Yuxia, you're an undergraduate graduate from the Chinese Medical Academy, and you've published many papers in national journals. As long as he won the award this time, he would immediately get an intermediate title. When you become an attending physician, wouldn't the patients break the door?”
"Dad, it's easy for you to say. How can you easily win the provincial Chinese medicine thesis award? We don't even know who the judges are!”
Zhu Yuxia did not feel relieved because of her father's comfort. She snorted and said.
"That's why we went to Daning…Don't worry, Dad's old comrades in Daning are quite capable. As long as we know who the judges are, we have a way. Your thesis was published in the capital, so the grade is obvious. As long as a judge is willing to speak up for you, not to mention the first prize, you can always get a second or third prize!”
Principal Zhu looked very confident.
Zhu Yuxia's expression improved slightly as she said,""I hope so."
Liu Weihong finally understood that the father and daughter had gone to Provincial City to build a relationship. Liu Weihong was very clear about the inside story regarding the evaluation of professional titles. In his previous life, he had stayed in the Chu Nan Academy of Agricultural Sciences for so long. He was only awarded the title of assistant lecturer when he was over 40 years old. It was only because he had informed the relevant people in the province that he would be able to become an assistant researcher even after he retired.
Winning an award in a provincial evaluation was one of the main conditions for an intermediate title.
The Provincial Chinese Medical Association had to give out awards every year, but the winners were all important figures with black hats on their heads. It was extremely difficult for ordinary doctors who had no position or power to win awards.
Liu Weihong knew the under-the-table operations like the back of his hand.
Usually, people who didn't know the inside story would think that the process of the awards would first determine the awards. There would be a few first prizes, a few second prizes, a few third prizes, and a certain amount of money. After the award was decided, the criteria for the award would be set. The next step would be to circle the papers that met the criteria according to the criteria. Then, the judges would be decided. Finally, the papers would be reviewed and voted to decide the winner.
But in reality, that was not the case at all.
The first thing the organizers of the Provincial Health Department and the Chinese Medical Association had to do was to decide which important people had to win this year's award. Zhang San, Li Si, Wang Wu Mazi, and so on drew out the list of winners. Then, it would be the first prize, the second prize, and the third prize. This was also based on the level of the position and the degree of influence. If the director or deputy director of the Provincial Health Department or the dean or vice dean of the Chinese Medical Academy wanted to participate in the award, the first prize would not be given to anyone else.
They were the ones who set the rules. Would good things fall into the hands of others?
After the list of winners was decided, the criteria for the award would be set. This standard was definitely tailor-made for those important people. Even the age of the winners would be regulated. Doing so did not guarantee that these people would win the award in the end. Their award was set. The criteria for these awards were announced to the public only to shut everyone's mouth and prove that the award was completely fair and that the winner was completely qualified. The thesis that didn't win an award wasn't because they had a bad relationship, but because they didn't meet the conditions to win an award.
I'll make you suffer.
As for the judges, they were really useless. They were all highly respected figures, but when they were actually operating, they might not even see the shadow of the thesis. All they got was a list of winners that had been prepared long ago. Then, they would sign on the list and leave with a big red packet.
If any of the judges were foolish enough to actually want to look at the thesis and vote for it, then sorry, it would have nothing to do with you.
There were more than one or two well-known scholars in a province. Without Butcher Zhang, would they still eat plucked pigs?
