Zhu Jianguo wasn't sure if Liu Weihong was really a big shot. However, judging from Chief Liao's stance, he seemed to have already made up his mind. He held Liu Weihong's hand tightly and shook it again and again, unwilling to let go for a long time.
Although Principal Zhu wasn't a proper official, he knew some of the tricks of the officialdom. There were rules for a cadre like Director Liao to shake hands with others. He shook hands with the revolutionary masses with a smile on his face. It was neither too light nor too heavy, just right. When shaking hands with a subordinate, he only needed to give a light shake to express his meaning. Shaking hands with people of the same level was basically the same as the treatment of the revolutionary masses, and it was slightly more powerful. Shaking hands with his superior was extremely passionate. He clenched his hands tightly and shook them repeatedly. It would not be over until he dislocated his superior's joints.
And now, Liu Weihong was enjoying the treatment of a superior.
The two of them exchanged pleasantries for a while before Liu Weihong introduced Principal Zhu to Director Liao.
"Director Liao, let me introduce you. This is Principal Zhu Jianguo, the principal of Qingfeng District's agricultural school. His child, Doctor Zhu Yuxia, is a doctor from our Qingfeng District Chinese Medical Hospital. He graduated from the Chinese Medical Academy.”
Liu Weihong's introduction was very standard, but he was only in his early twenties, yet he called Zhu Yuxia Principal Zhu's " child." This made Director Liao and Principal Zhu feel a little strange. However, neither of them would show it.
Liu Weihong's calm and experienced performance did not match his age.
"Hello, Director Liao, I'm Zhu Jianguo…"
Principal Zhu had been waiting for this moment for a long time. Once Liu Weihong finished his introduction, he immediately stretched out his hands and held onto Chief Liao's hands tightly. He shook them as if he was meeting his superior.
"Hello, Principal Zhu."
Director Liao was obviously different when he shook hands with Zhu Jianguo. He became more reserved and extended his hand, allowing Principal Zhu to hold it. He smiled, and his chin unconsciously raised. For a leader like Director Liao, who had been through countless trials and tribulations, he was very good at grasping these details. It was like eating and dressing. It was a habit.
Principal Zhu said a lot of admiring words before reluctantly letting go of Director Liao's hand. He then greeted the young man behind Director Liao. As expected, it was Director Liao's secretary, the deputy director of the Health Department's office.
"Comrade Weihong, when did you arrive in Daning?”
Director Liao's attention was only on Liu Weihong, and he was just being polite to Principal Zhu. He looked at Liu Weihong with a trace of well-hidden curiosity in his eyes.
Director Liao was quite surprised when Director Xiao called him. Secretary Xiao was not an ordinary department leader. Her grandfather was one of the founding fathers of the country. The Xiao family was very influential in the capital. Secretary Xiao's siblings all held important positions in the relevant departments. How could Chief Liao not be nervous when such a 'great-grandson' called him personally to tell him about Liu Weihong?
When Secretary Xiao introduced Liu Weihong over the phone, he had used the phrase " the child of one of my sisters "!
With Secretary Xiao's status, who was qualified to call her sister? At the very least, it should be someone of similar status as her. Perhaps she was also the eldest daughter of a prestigious family or the eldest young mistress of a wealthy family. In fact, both identities were occupied.
Political marriages were not only common in the capital, but also in the province.
When the children of officials reached the stage of discussing marriage, the first choice their parents had for them would definitely be the children of another official. Only in this way could the strong unite and ensure that wealth and power would be passed down from generation to generation.
It was because of this sensitivity that Director Liao rushed to Bayi Guest House. Director Liao was only in his forties. He was considered very young among the department and bureau level officials. He was very ambitious and always wanted to reach a higher level. The Health Department was an extremely professional unit. Being the director was almost the top. If one wanted to go further, there were usually only two ways. One was to be a department leader in the Weisheng Department, or to be a deputy governor in charge of education, science, culture, and health in the province. It was almost impossible for him to be promoted to the position of deputy governor or deputy secretary of the provincial party committee as the head of the Health Department.
This was a narrow path, and the higher one went, the narrower it became. Director Liao was currently standing at the bottleneck of a narrow path. He did not want to let go of any opportunity that could help him.
He never expected that Secretary Xiao would push such a highly suspected "**" young man in front of him with just a phone call.
Therefore, the excitement in Director Liao's heart was no less than Principal Zhu's.
"We've only just arrived," Liu Weihong said with a smile."We're sorry to trouble you."”
"Hey, what are you saying, Comrade Weihong? How can this be called trouble? I should be thanking you for recommending talents to us, haha…"
The conditions in Bayi Guest House were average. Liu Weihong stayed in a standard room that was not very spacious. There was only one chair in the room. Liu Weihong invited Director Liao to sit on the chair. He, Principal Zhu, and Director Liao's secretary sat on the bed.
"Director Liao is thirsty for talents. He is a good example for us to learn from. Principal Zhu, please invite Doctor Yuxia over and report her work to Chief Liao."”
Liu Weihong said with a smile. His choice of words and sentences were very accurate. It was a standard official essay.
Hearing this, Chief Liao was even more certain of his judgment. Liu Weihong was young, and he was only a small teacher at Qingfeng Agricultural School. If he had not grown up in a political family, his speech and behavior would not have been like this.
"Ah, okay, okay. Chief Liao, please sit first. I'll call the child over.”
"Alright, you go!"
Director Liao agreed casually. He did not even look at Principal Zhu. He was full of thoughts and focused on Liu Weihong.
When Zhu Yuxia heard Zhu Jianguo's words, she was also stunned and could not come back to her senses for a long time.
"Dad, is it really Director Liao from the Health Department?”
Zhu Yuxia asked after being shocked for a long time. She lowered her voice as if she was afraid that someone would hear her. For doctors and nurses like them, the director of the Health Department was the greatest leader. He actually came to visit him personally. It was far from the "treatment" that he had received these days.
"How can this be fake?"
Zhu Jianguo was delighted.
"Dad, what if it's fake?"
Zhu Yuxia became suspicious again. Director Liao's actions were against common sense. How could a person who was begged visit a person who was begging?
"Yuxia, what's wrong with you?" Zhu Jianguo couldn't help but say angrily. Why are you always so paranoid? We're not big bosses who do business and have a lot of money in our hands. Why would they send a fake director over to trick us? To think that you're a doctor yourself. If others knew that you were so paranoid, who would dare to seek treatment from you?”
Zhu Yuxia was scolded by her father. Her face was red and she was a little angry. She wanted to throw a tantrum and not go. In the end, she did not dare to joke about her future. After this village, there would be no other shop.
" Hello, Director Liao. This is my child, Zhu Yuxia. She works at Qingfeng District Chinese Medical Hospital…"
Principal Zhu hurriedly introduced Zhu Yuxia to Director Liao.
Bureau Chief Liao did not get up. He sat in the chair and shook hands with Zhu Yuxia. He casually looked at Zhu Yuxia and said,"What's the situation with Comrade Xiao Zhu? Tell me.”
Initially, Zhu Yuxia did not quite believe it, but after seeing Director Liao's current state, she no longer had any doubts. Director Liao looked like a high-ranking official, so he couldn't put on an act. Some swindlers pretended to be officials, but they could only deceive ordinary people and small government officials. If they were placed together with real high-ranking officials, the truth would be judged immediately.
In front of Director Liao, Zhu Yuxia threw all her arrogance to the clouds and became cautious. She quickly introduced her basic situation and even stuttered a little.
Director Liao nodded as he listened. He then asked Zhu Yuxia which thesis was participating in the selection this time. Zhu Yuxia told him the title of the thesis. Before Director Liao could give any instructions, the deputy director sitting on the edge of the bed had already taken out a small notebook and recorded the title of the thesis in it.
When Zhu Yuxia was about to report the contents of the thesis in detail, Director Liao waved his hand and said,"There's no need to report this. I'll go back and take a look. There are quite a lot of theses participating in the annual meeting of the Chinese Medical Association this time, and there are quite a few high-level theses. There are only a few winners, and it's not easy for me to do it…"
Principal Zhu and Zhu Yuxia became nervous again.
When asking a leader for help, the most feared thing was the leader speaking in an official tone.
"The health system is hard to deal with. I believe it." Liu Weihong smiled. However, I don't believe that I can stop you, Director Liao.”
"Haha, Comrade Weihong is really humorous…Don't worry, since Secretary Xiao personally gave the instructions, I will do my best. " Haha, Comrade Weihong, it's better to meet by chance than to invite you. You're guests from afar, so let me treat you to a meal today."”
Director Liao said as he looked at Liu Weihong with a fervent expression, as if he was afraid that he would not agree.
Zhu Yuxia was completely dumbfounded. Not only did Bureau Chief Liao personally come to visit them, but he also took the initiative to invite them. This Liu Weihong actually had such a huge reputation. Could he really be a big shot?
As she thought about this, Zhu Yuxia could not help but glance at Liu Weihong's face with a hint of shyness and curiosity.
Liu Weihong did not decline and accepted Director Liao's invitation with a smile.
It was considered quite polite for someone to come to your door to serve you. He still had to give her the face to have a meal together. This was also the rule of officialdom. As for how it would develop in the future, it would depend on whether Director Liao was up to it.
The group went to Daning City's most famous " Eleven Restaurant ". Director Liao ordered a table full of dishes and liquor of high quality. During the meal, Director Liao tried to find out the true relationship between Liu Weihong and Secretary Xiao in a roundabout way. Zhu Jianguo also pricked up his ears. Liu Weihong only smiled and didn't elaborate.
Director Liao became even more respectful.
