Chapter 736: Chapter 736 Alliance
Liu Hongmin came out behind him, Wang Changshi. He was just about to finish work for the day and happened to witness the whole scene! His heart was also shocked.
This Bai Xiao...
No matter what the relationship between the Yu Family and Bai Xiao was, the fact that Director Yu personally came to pick him up indicated an extraordinary relationship.
It was not something they could gauge.
They were all familiar with Director Yu; after all, their subordinate hospital was under the jurisdiction of the Health Department. They had annual meetings, and from time to time, they had to inspect and host senior leaders, especially their immediate superiors. That was what they were supposed to do. If they couldn’t remember every leader’s name, face, and previous positions, could they even be considered a subsidiary unit?
"Director Liu, that was Director Yu’s car just now!"
Liu Hongmin looked at Wang Changshi with frustration. This Old Wang had been sitting on the cold bench for so many years, and it was precisely because he was too rigid.
"Yes, I just don’t know which department that student in the back seat is from. Who is it?" Liu Hongmin felt a bit regretful.
No matter who it was, he had to go back and check thoroughly. Since this student was able to sit in Director Yu’s car, there must be some kind of relationship with the Yu Family. No matter what it was, he should manage this relationship well.
The president was getting old, and he was a contender for this round of the presidency position.
But the president’s favored protégé, Vice Chancellor Zhao Weiming, was much more backed than he was; the president had supported him from the start.
He was stuck in a dilemma, looking to latch onto a "golden thigh" for support but unable to find the right connection.
Wasn’t this Heaven sending him one?
"That’s the new advanced student, Bai Xiao!" Wang Changshi said with a bitter taste in his mouth, but he felt a secret thrill in his heart. 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝓬ℴ𝓶
Why?
That Mr. Li, the Director of the Office of Political Education and Counseling, was about to reach his end, messing up the major of someone connected to the Yu Family — heh, an inner satisfaction crept into his heart.
He was an honest man and couldn’t take pleasure in others’ misfortune.
For so many years, pressing down on him, acting high and mighty, wasn’t it because of his connections with the president? Now let’s see how you wrap this up.
Liu Hongmin suddenly raised his head to take in Wang Changshi. This Old Wang was notoriously rigid and dogmatic, so how could he be so knowledgeable about a new student?
Could it be that someone had given him a heads-up in advance?
"Old Wang, that’s not right. If there’s any news, we’re supposed to breathe the word to each other. Otherwise, it’s easy to get flustered," he said, with an implied rebuke in his tone.
How could Wang Changshi not understand? Having been suppressed, he knew exactly what the top brass meant with just a word.
"Director Liu, what do you mean I’m not breathing the word? This matter is probably going to blow up. This Bai Xiao..." Bara recounted the whole incident as he had observed, watching beads of sweat form on Liu Hongmin’s forehead. Wang Changshi finally felt the satisfaction of venting out today’s frustration.
It was only then that Liu Hongmin came back to his senses, his heart thumping wildly. He truly hadn’t expected this!
However, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. With the big mistake Mr. Li had made, it would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens to turn it around.
If he stood up for Bai Xiao now based on reason, it was highly likely he could connect with Director Yu of the Yu Family.
He must promptly handle this matter tomorrow, of course, with the right manipulations. He could take the opportunity to put pressure on the vice chancellor and carve out a chance to stand out, leaving a lasting impression on Director Yu.
Just thinking about it got him excited for quite a while.
This kind of opportunity was like a pie falling from the sky.
Glancing sideways at Wang Changshi, he hadn’t expected the honest and down-to-earth Wang Changshi to have such sensitivity.
"Old Wang, I have to say, it’s time for you to wake up. Otherwise, you’ll spend your entire life just warming your seat in the office, reading newspapers and sipping tea. Are you content with that life?"
The helpless expression on Wang Changshi’s face said it all.
"But no matter, from now on let’s lend each other a helping hand, making progress together. There’s still plenty of room for that." Liu Hongmin reassured, patting Wang Changshi. The two men saw the significance of an alliance in each other’s eyes — after all, they had both been suppressed for too long.
