Chapter 626: A New Interpretation of the Word "Official"
Not only the vice governor and the president of Nanjing University, but everyone else at the meeting also had this idea.
Xiao Yuting, who was sitting in the meeting room, had already lowered her head and covered her face. Her husband's actions were really too outrageous.
They actually invited college students from Nanping to come to Beijiang to take the civil service exam after graduation at Nanping University’s anniversary celebration?
Although the civil service examination does not have any regulations regarding place of origin, college students in Nanping can indeed go to Beijiang to take the civil service examination.
But the problem is that Zhao Weidong is openly poaching people in Nanping in front of the leaders of Nanping, which is a bit embarrassing.
Even Liu Fei's roommates were staring blankly at Zhao Weidong sitting on the podium. After a while, one of them said hesitantly, "Fei Fei, your Uncle Liu really doesn't follow the rules!"
"I think he's the only one in the country who would dare to do this kind of on-the-spot poaching."
"Who said it wasn't true? Look at the embarrassed faces of our principal and that provincial leader, hehe!"
Others followed suit.
Mo Weiwei stared at Zhao Weidong intently, thinking to herself, "His unconventional personality is indeed the same as the rumors. I just wonder if his attitude towards work is as hateful and vindictive as people say."
Although Mo Weiwei had made up her mind that if she could meet Zhao Weidong at noon, she would find a way to contact Zhao Weidong and tell him about her grievances.
But before that, she still wanted to find out what kind of person Zhao Weidong was?
Because what she was about to do was so involved, she didn't want to choose the wrong person and get herself into trouble.
"Of course not. My uncle Zhao has always been unconventional!"
Liu Fei also smiled proudly and her eyes fell on Zhao Weidong again.
Zhao Weidong, however, did not seem to care about these things. He just smiled slightly and then continued, "Of course, I welcome those students who are willing to work for the people, who are willing to bend down and treat being a public official as a job!"
"As for others, such as those who want to get rich by becoming an official, or those who want to be superior to others by becoming an official, I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible."
"Because being an official doesn't make you rich, those who do will go to jail. Being an official also doesn't make you superior to others, those who are superior will be punished!"
"This is not allowed by the Party discipline and national laws, and it is not allowed by various regulations for public officials. I, Zhao Weidong, also do not allow it!"
Zhao Weidong said this calmly, but everyone in the venue was stunned.
The vice governor was stunned for a moment, then clapped his hands and said, "Well, that's very well said. Comrade Weidong's words can serve as a warning to all public officials."
"You can't get rich by being an official, and you can't expect to be superior to others by being an official."
"Some people are too impetuous nowadays. They always think about making money while serving as an official and improving their status by serving as an official. This is a misunderstanding and a manifestation of immaturity."
After saying this, the vice governor looked at the president of Nanjing University beside him and said, "President Deng, I think your colleges and universities should shoulder this responsibility and let the graduates understand this truth before they take the civil service exam. What do you think?"
"That's true. Our school will study this matter carefully and invite other colleges and universities to participate!"
The president of Nanping University said with a smile.
"Ok!"
The vice governor nodded, then looked at Zhao Weidong and said, "Comrade Weidong, I heard that when you first entered the official career, you once reported your direct superior under your real name. Is this true?"
"Uh, it's true!"
Zhao Weidong was stunned for a moment, a little surprised. Why did the deputy governor of Nanping suddenly ask this?
But he still nodded.
Wow.
As soon as he said this, the students in the meeting room were shocked. They stared at Zhao Weidong in disbelief. Some even whispered, "Oh my God, this is too crazy, right? Senior Zhao has done this before?"
"I heard that this is taboo within the system, right?"
"This this!"
The students were chattering.
Zhao Weidong was also looking at the vice governor, not knowing what he meant.
"Haha, then can I ask, Comrade Weidong, what was your original intention in doing this?"
The deputy governor then smiled and said!
"what?"
Zhao Weidong let out a light exclamation and a smile appeared on his face. He didn't understand what the other party wanted to do just now, but now he understood!
What does the other party want to do?
Whitewash!
That's right, he was trying to whitewash himself. He took advantage of this school anniversary and deliberately raised this issue, asking himself to explain it, so as to achieve the purpose of whitewashing himself.
After all, although his original actions were legal and reasonable and there was no problem with them, they did touch upon some taboos.
Such a thing!
He didn't have any trouble before because he had a wide network of contacts and didn't need to worry about it.
But as his journey got longer and longer, this was ultimately just a small flaw.
And now, the deputy governor of Nanping was obviously helping him on purpose.
At the same time, this also made Zhao Weidong wonder why this leader did this?
However, even if he thought so in his heart, Zhao Weidong did not hesitate, and quickly smiled and said: "In fact, I was thinking at the time that I can't let those public officials who have lost their bottom line endanger the actual interests of the people, and I can't let such black sheep lower the image of our public officials."
"As for the rest, I haven't actually thought about it, because I am a public official and a party member!"
"As a public official and a party member, I should fight against those who break the law and discipline without fear or hesitation."
Zhao Weidong spoke righteously.
Although he is still not sure which leader is helping him with this opportunity to clear his name?
But he was certain that someone was trying to help him on purpose.
In this case, he would definitely take this opportunity to brag about it, oh no, to promote it.
"Well said. No wonder Comrade Weidong has reached his current position at such a young age."
"Our public officials really need this kind of work attitude of daring to be the first and daring to be fearless!"
The deputy governor then nodded with a smile.
In fact, the temporary arrangement for Zhao Weidong to speak today and the bringing up of the original incident were all the intention of the Nanping Provincial Party Committee. The purpose was exactly as Zhao Weidong thought, which was to help Zhao Weidong clear his name.
Of course, the leader will not tell Zhao Weidong about this for the time being.
So he quickly smiled and said, "I wonder if Comrade Weidong would like to give any advice to these junior students at Nanjing University?"
"Yes, Comrade Weidong, as a senior, shouldn't you give something to these juniors?"
The president of Nanjing University also followed suit!
"hehe!"
"If you want to give me something, I'll just say something!"
Zhao Weidong smiled, and then said in a serious tone: "Students, the word 'official' has two mouths. The people are above, and the officials are below. Power comes from the people, and will ultimately serve the people!"
"Any public official who dares to betray the people will eventually suffer the consequences!"
"Because the people are the foundation!"
Zhao Weidong spoke one sentence at a time, and when he was done he smiled awkwardly and said, "I just said one sentence, why did you say several sentences now?"
"Hahaha!"
As soon as he said this, everyone in the venue laughed.
Those students were also pondering Zhao Weidong's new interpretation of the word "official".
Even some reporters present were recording something rapidly, as if they wanted to treat this as big news!
"Okay, okay, fellow juniors, our Nanyang University has trained many outstanding students over the years. This is the end of my speech today!"
"Next, please ask the other brothers and sisters to talk to everyone!"
Zhao Weidong then smiled and looked at the president of Nanjing University!
The president of NCU nodded, and the host immediately walked over and said, "Students, the speech by senior Zhao Weidong just now made us understand what a public official should need?"
"Next, we would like to invite another legendary senior from Nanjing University to tell us about the spirit required for entrepreneurship..."
After he said this, an alumnus of NDU who is very famous in the business world began to share his entrepreneurial experience!
Only then did Zhao Weidong take out his cell phone and sent a text message to Liu Wencai, asking about the vice governor.
"Haha, this is something I suggested to the provincial party committee. After all, you are from Nanping. If I can give you a little help, it will make your future journey smoother!"
Liu Wencai also replied quickly.
"Thank you, Brother Liu. Please also thank the leaders of the Provincial Party Committee on my behalf!"
Zhao Weidong was moved!
"Haha, we're brothers, you're welcome!"
Liu Wencai replied to this message and never replied again!
Zhao Weidong also sat there until about 11:40 in the morning, when the morning arrangements for the school anniversary were over. Zhao Weidong and his friends had a meal with the alumni and leaders of Nanjing University. Dinner was arranged at the Nanjing University Guesthouse.
"Uncle Zhao, which room are you in? I have a few roommates who want to meet you. Can I take them to see you?"
They had just checked into the guesthouse, and Zhao Weidong was still planning to have a chat with Xiao Yuting?
The cell phone on my body rang, and my eldest niece Liu Fei sent me a text message.
"This girl!"
Zhao Weidong smiled speechlessly, and then replied: "Then come on, I'm..."
As he said that, he told Liu Fei the room number of his guesthouse and asked Xiao Yuting to wait outside.
About five minutes later, Liu Fei came in with her roommates!
"Zhao, Senior Zhao, can I talk to you alone?"
Just as Liu Fei and the others came in, her roommate Mo Weiwei looked at Zhao Weidong with a trembling voice and said, "I, I have something to tell you!"
"Ok?"
Zhao Weidong was stunned for a moment, staring at Mo Weiwei. After a while, he nodded and said, "Okay, come with me."
