Chapter 56 The Principal Aspect of the Principal Contradiction
Chapter 56 The Principal Aspect of the Principal Contradiction
"First of all, you need to understand that the school must have its own considerations, so don't let it cause any negative emotions."
Yan Zhengsheng thought for a moment. After all, they were faculty and staff members of the school, so he had to speak from the school's perspective first. Then, he changed his tone and said in a gentler manner:
"However, it's always best to communicate and discuss when there are problems. Direct communication is the best way to solve problems, don't you think?"
Some people speak in clichés, like an automated reply. No matter what you say, they always start with the same few generic replies, and in the end, you can't find any solutions to the problem.
Chen Che chuckled and casually said, "Yeah, that's true. The school just doesn't want to waste money because I don't have any connections."
These words, once spoken, immediately made Chen Che notice that Yan Zhengsheng's expression changed from gentle to somewhat serious, and his tone became a little more solemn.
"Who told you that?" Yan Zhengsheng's voice was already full of energy, and his question made him sound even more imposing, completely different from when he was speaking amiably just now.
Upon seeing this reaction, Chen Che knew he had said the wrong thing.
I heard this conclusion when I was on the phone with Zhu Jingdong that day. Teacher Zhu spoke to me from the bottom of his heart, and naturally I couldn't do anything to betray my teammates.
So, forcing himself to speak, he said, "Secretary Yan, it was just my own guess."
Yan Zhengsheng tapped the table a few times with his fingers as a warning, and said in a serious and solemn tone, "Don't talk nonsense or make wild guesses without evidence, understand?"
Even if that's the truth, spreading it out would just be spreading rumors about the school.
You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want.
"Understood, Secretary Yan," Chen Che immediately replied meekly, without uttering a word.
After a moment of silence in the office, Yan Zhengsheng slowly asked, "Xiao Chen, what did you just say about your current personnel composition?"
Chen Che didn't understand Secretary Yan's meaning yet, and answered truthfully: "Apart from external supply channels, the others are all students from the school."
This is obvious. Schools have their own rules and regulations, and it's impossible for outsiders to roam around the school. This is also a major basis for campus entrepreneurship, and the core of its operation is the students in the school.
"Then there must be quite a few students from families that aren't well-off," Yan Zhengsheng said after thinking for a moment, offering his guess.
Chen Che nodded: "Yes, that's right."
This is easy to understand. Rich guys are spending all their pocket money from their families, indulging in their youth, so why would they need to work or do part-time jobs?
But people's lives are different. Some people live glamorous lives while others have to work hard to earn their tuition and living expenses. As history spirals upward, someone is responsible for the upward movement while someone else is responsible for the spiral.
Poverty is the biggest motivation to make money.
"Hmm..." Yan Zhengsheng rubbed his chin and pondered for a moment: "Xiao Chen, we still need to pay attention to methods when solving problems. You haven't forgotten the Marxist method of contradiction analysis, have you?"
Chen Che was taken aback. What was going on? They were talking about funding support, and suddenly it veered into talking about Lao Ma. Lao Ma had it tough; everything seemed to involve him. After all, the method of contradiction analysis was supposedly able to solve all problems in the universe.
"When looking at a problem, we still need to grasp the principal contradiction, and once we grasp the principal contradiction, we also need to see the principal aspect of the contradiction."
"I think the breakthrough lies with these students." Although Yan Zhengsheng had only heard bits and pieces of the conversation, he had remembered some key information. Combining this with what Chen Che had mentioned, he immediately thought of the crucial point.
"Hmm, Secretary Yan, what do you mean?" Chen Che frowned, seemingly understanding but not quite, waiting for Yan Zhengsheng's next explanation.
"You know about the school's work-study office, right? Every month they find a group of students to help with some odd jobs at school."
"I heard my roommate mention it; it seems to be mostly miscellaneous tasks like receiving and distributing materials and setting up the venue. It's not too troublesome or tiring," Chen Che added at the opportune moment.
"Yes," Yan Zhengsheng nodded, "The school will give them a few hundred yuan subsidy every month, which is basically a welfare benefit, to take care of the students."
"But later, as more people started working part-time, the number of places became limited and there were more applicants than available spots. Students who weren't short of money were fine, but many students who were a little less well-off went to do part-time jobs outside the school. The school had to promote anti-fraud awareness and deal with disputes with outsiders, which was also troublesome."
"Then this is your place."
The risk of something going wrong is much lower at school.
"If you add a layer of educational assistance to your project, the chances of getting funding will be much greater."
Chen Che's eyes lit up; a leader is a leader after all, he immediately had a direction for solving the problem.
"Secretary Yan, your words are insightful. This is a good idea, and supporting education is a good thing; we must do it."
"Don't get too excited yet. This isn't just talk; it's about putting it into practice," Yan Zhengsheng waved his hand, reminding him to calm down.
"For example, the student representatives in your building should be given priority to students from impoverished families. These kids have it tough too, so this request isn't unreasonable, is it?"
Chen Che thought about it and realized it made no difference to him. It didn't matter who did it, as long as someone did it. He immediately nodded in agreement.
"This is just my initial idea. If you have no objections, I can take the lead in discussing the specific details with the Youth League Committee when I have time to see if it's feasible." Yan Zhengsheng saw Chen Che nod and then shared his further thoughts.
Chen Che was taken aback. He had thought that giving some advice would be good enough, but he didn't expect that Secretary Yan would care so much about his affairs and would even take the time to communicate with the Youth League Committee in person. A warm feeling welled up in his heart.
Having spent so much time insincerely dealing with people in society, Chen Che was deeply grateful to encounter teachers and leaders like Zhu Jingdong and Yan Zhengsheng who genuinely cared about and worked for the students.
In action, Chen Che sincerely bowed slightly to express his gratitude: "Thank you, Secretary Yan."
Yan Zhengsheng waved his hand: "They're all kids from my own college. If I don't care, who will?"
Chen Che straightened up and only then noticed that there were no ostentatious calligraphy and paintings or trophies in the cabinet behind Yan Zhengsheng, but only a globe, a stack of folders and a set of Mao Zedong's Selected Works.
"Secretary Yan, you're busy, I'll be going now." Having finished his business, Chen Che knew it was time to take his leave.
"Hmm." Yan Zhengsheng nodded, but before Chen Che could take a few steps, he suddenly seemed to remember something and called out to him again: "Xiao Chen, there's something else."
"Hmm?" Chen Che stopped and turned around.
"Did you accidentally fall into the water before?"
"Uh, yes."
"But don't worry, Secretary Yan, I'm fine. What I posted on the confession wall and on WeChat Moments before was all a rumor..." Chen Che quickly and earnestly clarified and explained.
Yan Zhengsheng waved his hand and asked with a serious expression, "Xiao Chen, is there really a big fish in that Mirror Lake?"
The attraction of a large penis to a man is innate.
……
After Chen Che left, Yan Zhengsheng took out his phone and called Gong Cheng.
While waiting for the call to connect, Yan Zhengsheng was still pondering that going during the day would attract too much attention, so he should go at night instead.
If you go at night, you should have already prepared the nest by noon. I don't have the time to prepare the nest at noon. How about we go and prepare the nest now, and go in the early morning?
The call was connected.
"Hello, Secretary Yan, what's up?"
"Oh, Ms. Yu... uh, no, Ms. Gong, there's something I'd like to discuss with you. When would you be available?"
