Chapter 5 Chapter 5 Chinese Officials in the United States

After leaving the restaurant, Hua Zuying walked slowly in front. After walking not far, she walked on a curved asphalt road that was not wide.On the side of the road is a clear pond with dense weeds, and a few reeds in the pond are swaying in the breeze. When she came to the pond, Hua Zuying stopped and said, "The ecology of the United States is well protected. Look at the large lawns and the various flowers and plants around the villas, just like a park." Jia Shizhen looked at the crystal-clear pond. The pond was not big, and the surrounding scenery was beautiful and pleasant. The mountains behind the rows of villas were even more lush with green pines.Jia Shizhen said with emotion: "In the past, I only heard that cities and rural areas no longer exist in countries like the United States. Their urban-rural integration and urban belts represent economically advanced development."

Hua Zuying walked to a big rock, pointed to the rock-like rock, and said, "Let's sit for a while, this scene makes people feel refreshed and happy, it's so rare." To be honest, Jia Shizhen has lived in an official family since she was a child, and has rarely seen such an environment.He feels like a park, but there are no tourists; like a village, but there are no crops, just like a fairy tale kingdom! The two sat for a while, feeling more relaxed than ever before.In such an environment, it is rare to see a person, surrounded by silence and serenity, Hua Zuying feels the freedom of the world of the two, and even forgets that they are already in a foreign country on the other side of the ocean, forgetting the relationship between them .

Jia Shizhen said, "Zu Ying, what do you plan to do after graduation?" Hua Zuying thought for a while and said: "In the United States, after graduating from an MBA from an Ivy League school, the employment situation is relatively optimistic, and the salary is much higher than that of foreign students studying science and engineering. According to my own thinking, I hope If I can stay in the United States, I will at least work in some big companies in the United States for a year or two, pay back the money I paid for my studies, and then make plans.” Jia Shizhen said: "I think China's economic management departments, or those large enterprises need talents like you. Even China's high-level administrative management departments also need talents like you. One of our classmates Deputy Director of Moyou Provincial Development and Reform Commission, he must be in great need of talents like you, or I will recommend it to you!"

Hua Zuying said: "Let's talk about it. China's system is still not perfect. People like me who have no background still have lingering fears! Look at how many things you have experienced in the organization department of the provincial party committee in the past few years..." "Take your time! Society is always improving." "Shizhen, we have known each other for seven or eight years. At that time, I had just graduated from university, and my thinking was very simple. I was worried about my employment. I felt that I could only work as a waiter in a restaurant as a college student, and I was unwilling." Hua Zuying looked at Jia Shizhen thoughtfully, and smiled wryly, "The first time I saw you, I thought you were young, and I envied you so much. Where is the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee? I even hope that you..."

Jia Shizhen looked at Hua Zuying, he didn't know why she was so sad, he didn't know what was going on in her mind. "What's the matter……" A dark cloud floated over Hua Zuying's face, she shook her head, did not continue what she said just now, and changed her tone: "Who knows that you have your difficulties, you have your difficulties, I have thought about it more than once, you suddenly The scene of being sent back from the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee..." Jia Shizhen said: "Yes, so everyone has a difficult scripture to recite!"

"Later, I decided to study abroad, not only for myself, but also for both of us, for you..." Jia Shizhen nodded, turned his face silently, and looked at the mountains in the distance. The past rushed to his eyes, and he even thought about the future, thinking about what he would be like when he returned to China in a few months. "When I decided to study in the United States, I even felt that there was no end-to-end banquet in the world. Maybe our fate is only that, and it can only end here." Hua Zuying said, "I really didn't expect you to come to the United States. , and you are so close to me, when I heard the news on the phone that you were going to study in the United States, I was a little stunned! I suddenly felt what kind of fate this is, or what kind of fate..."

Jia Shizhen turned her face and looked at Hua Zuying, feeling that her mood was a little depressed and her thoughts were a little gloomy.Jia Shizhen can understand her very well: a young girl who came to a country like the United States alone has not only a language barrier, but more importantly, a spiritual emptiness and emotional loneliness.Jia Shizhen said: "Zu Ying, because you can be admitted to a world-class university for an MBA, this is success! I admire you from the bottom of my heart and congratulate you secretly. I also believe that after you finish your studies, whether you stay in the United States, Or go back to the motherland, your future is very bright." Jia Shizhen paused and continued, "As for us, it is a special fate bestowed on us by God. If I didn't know you, maybe I would have already become a A pile of shit that people scold! Naturally, it is impossible for me to study in the United States. So in a sense, you are my political benefactor. Based on this, I respect you very much, just like respecting my mentor, respecting me like our leaders..."

Hua Zuying interrupted Jia Shizhen: "Shizhen, don't say that anymore, as long as you are a kind person and a just person, you will do that. To be honest, you are the sweetest person in my life." Respected man, so far, no man has made me respect and admire so much from the bottom of my heart!" "Before I came to the United States, I thought about it." Hua Zuying lowered her head, "Have I become a shameful woman, I hope those inexplicable things are not love, because you are already a man with a family and children. So I resolutely chose to leave you, I shouldn't affect your relationship, I shouldn't affect your progress, and I shouldn't affect your family."

"Zu Ying, your decision is right." Jia Shizhen said, "If this happens, both of us will make a big mistake." Hua Zuying shook her head: "But I still can't turn the corner. What age is it now? Is it wrong for a woman to have feelings for a man? So, I will never marry a man casually! Absolutely not Go live in a daze, have children, stay together, and use marriage as a tool to pass on the family line." Jia Shizhen frowned, feeling that Hua Zuying had changed when she became a little paranoid, a little weird, and a little horny! "Zu Ying, maybe you are currently in a country like the West, and it is difficult to adapt to the foreign customs for a while. I think that when you succeed in your studies and career, your thoughts and feelings will definitely change accordingly. At that time, you may feel that you are ridiculous today."

"No, Shizhen." Hua Zuying raised her head and said firmly, "I have been in the United States for more than a year, and I can fully accept the progressive things in the United States, such as American culture and customs. I am most impressed by the Chinese people. Many concepts are backward, such as marriage, love, and sex. This is something that many Chinese will never understand. Westerners’ marriage is marriage, and sex is sex. For example, between men and women, as long as they need to have sex, they can A sexual relationship doesn’t have to be a marriage. You might think I’m crazy when I say that, or you might think I’m nasty, depraved, no, definitely not…”

Jia Shizhen lowered her head silently, her heart was beating wildly. Could it be that he has also become one of those people who rely on the power in his hands to bully others?No, he didn't think he was such a person, whether it was Zhou Yilan or Hua Zuying, he had never had such an idea. At Hua Zuying's insistence, they decided to make a dinner by themselves. While Hua Zuying was busy cooking, someone knocked on the door, and Jia Shizhen hurried to answer the door, it was Zhou Guang. Jia Shizhen smiled and said: "Let me introduce, Zu Ying, this is Comrade Zhou Guang, the head of our study group this time in the United States, and the deputy director of our Moyou Provincial Development and Reform Commission." Then he said to Zhou Guang, "This It's Hua Zuying, an international student from Moyou, an MBA student from Tuck School of Business, one of the top in the world. Maybe he will seek a job under your command after returning to China after graduation in the future!" At this time, Hua Zuying wiped her hands, stretched out her hand with a smile, and said while holding Zhou Guang's hand, "Hello, Director Zhou, I am so happy to see my hometown people in China in a foreign country!" While holding Hua Zuying's hand, Zhou Guang thought: There really is such a thing in the world, such a beautiful woman is studying for an MBA in a first-class university in the United States!Zhou Guang grabbed Hua Zuying's white, soft and plump hands, stared closely at her beautiful face, and said with some excitement: "I really didn't expect that Moyou's poor place, the mountains and the water, There can still be such a beautiful and intelligent talented woman. If Miss Hua is really willing to return to Moyou in the future, as long as our temple is not too small, I will warmly welcome Miss Hua!" "Really?" Hua Zuying's face flushed with excitement. "No joke." Zhou Guang let go of Hua Zuying's hand and said excitedly. Jia Shizhen said: "Old Zhou, it's better to come early than to come at a good time. Although we have already arrived in the United States, we still learn from the domestic style. Zu Ying invited Director Zhou Guang!" Hua Zuying said: "Great, this opportunity is so rare, you two sit down for a while, I'll go buy some beer and get some food." As soon as Hua Zuying left, Zhou Guang said, "Shizhen, you are very lucky." "Director Zhou Guang, you are the leader, how can you say such nonsense." "It's just a joke between us brothers." Zhou Guang said, "However, Shizhen, to be honest, having such a confidante is also a great blessing in life. It's not an exaggeration for a man if it really happens. , as long as it is not out of line." "Then you must have a confidante!" Zhou Guang shook his head: "Look at me like this, I'm old, who can think of me!" Jia Shizhen said: "Not necessarily, a man has forty-one flowers, and you have great power, what kind of woman doesn't have it!" "Hey, Shizhen, Ms. Hua is an MBA student from Tuck School of Business. Can we ask her to tutor us! Think about it, our English is much worse than hers. If she can teach her If you teach us the professional knowledge you have learned in Chinese, then we will definitely benefit a lot!" Jia Shizhen said: "That's right! But I don't know if she is under a lot of pressure to study now... You don't know that many Chinese students who go to famous American universities to study MBA can't understand the professor's lectures for half a year, and often they can only sleep twice a night. Three hours of sleep, when Hua Zuying first came here, she had no sleep for a while." Jia Shizhen paused and said, "It's been more than a year now, it should be said that the language barrier has passed." "You find time to talk to her." Zhou Guang said, "But we should pay her. In the United States, as long as you work hard, you should get a corresponding reward. I think she is studying for an MBA in the United States. Economically, There must be many difficulties in life.” "Okay, then I'll give it a try." At this time, Hua Zuying came back. Maybe many people will have many unclear questions about the relationship between Hua Zuying and Jia Shizhen.Actually, for real life in real life, it happened after all.What happened between them did not affect their communication, nor should they add an insurmountable gap to their friendship.However, because of their acquaintance, because of her saving him that time, it is only natural that they had a special feeling.Yes, there is nothing wrong with a person having feelings for another person, as long as she (he) does not hurt the other person's life.We have no way of knowing how Jia Shizhen feels about Hua Zuying, a young and beautiful female student studying abroad, but both are friends from China and from the same region, and they meet on the other side of the ocean. Shouldn't you cherish and respect your beautiful feelings? Hua Zuying left a deep impression on Zhou Guang. He really couldn't see that such a talented female student from abroad was actually a working girl. Zhou Guang and Jia Shizhen wanted to help, but Hua Zuying firmly refused.Fortunately, Hua Zuying had worked in the Hongmen Hotel for several years, so she could make a few dishes. Jia Shizhen brought three bowls, poured beer on them, and picked up the bowls. There is no such arrogance and domineering atmosphere of drinking liquor in China. In Jia Shizhen's eyes, Hua Zuying is no longer the working girl at the Hongmen Hotel.Now she is an MBA student of a top-ranked university in the United States. Although she is still the same Hua Zuying back then, although her eyebrows and eyes are still so charming, her waist is still so graceful, but she looks very noble and personable. It should be said that this was a dinner combining Chinese and Western styles, and it was also their gathering on the other side of the ocean, which brought much happiness and joy to Hua Zuying, and also relieved her long-term depressed and lonely soul.After a hard work, she went abroad, entered the gate of a world-class university, and finally climbed the steps leading to the upper class. Zhou Guang left with a hint of drunkenness. Hua Zuying had no intention of leaving, she was unwilling to leave Jia Shizhen.At the beginning, she made up her mind to study in the United States, but she did not expect that the examination, admission, and visa would go so smoothly.But when she really wanted to leave the motherland and the man she was attached to in her heart, she felt melancholy, hesitated, and hesitated, but she still came to the United States resolutely.Over the past year or so, she has overcome unimaginable difficulties, and she wants to complete her studies with excellent grades!How do people who stay in China know the real life of international students! Hua Zuying thought more than once that she must do something for Jia Shizhen.After arriving in the United States, she occasionally had a strange idea: maybe they will be separated from each other, and they will never see each other again, until they are gray-haired and old, and they will always live in another country.Now, when they are really close at hand, she feels a little like a dream. They didn't say a word between them, Jia Shizhen looked at Hua Zuying, and secretly glanced at the watch on her wrist, it was already eleven o'clock at night.He was a little anxious, it was so late, where would he let her be a girl to spend the night?Fortunately, it is in the United States. If it were in China, what kind of bizarre stories might be made up by others! Hua Zuying felt that she had thousands of words to express to Jia Shizhen, but she couldn't even say a single word. In fact, she knew that it was inappropriate for her to be here, but for some reason, she was always called Some kind of force can't hold her back. At some point, Hua Zuying finally stood up and said, "Shizhen, I'm leaving!" "Go?" Jia Shizhen looked at Hua Zuying in surprise, "It's so late, why are you leaving?" "Then what should I do?" Hua Zuying smiled wryly, "I can't spend the night with you!" Hua Zuying didn't think there was anything wrong with her words at all. Jia Shizhen smiled awkwardly: "Why don't you stay here with me, and I'll squeeze with Zhou Guang." After finishing speaking, Jia Shizhen added Said, "If you don't mind." "Shizhen." Hua Zuying said, "I really don't mind. I have been in the United States for more than a year. Not only did I see the real side of the most advanced country in the world, but also learned world-class management science. At the same time, I also have more life insights. This also includes love, marriage and sex." Hua Zuying lowered her head seriously. Jia Shizhen never thought that Hua Zuying would say such a thing, let alone that she changed so quickly. What he said just now made him very embarrassed and embarrassed.Just when he was at a loss, Hua Zuying stretched out her hand: "Shizhen, don't mind, don't get me wrong, I'm leaving." As she said, she held Jia Shizhen's hand and retreated towards the door . Jia Shizhen held Hua Zuying's hand tightly and said, "It's too late, how can you leave as a girl!" The official class began, and Jia Shizhen, a group of officials from China, fell from heaven to hell at once.In China, not to mention being a leading cadre at the city and department level, even a cadre at the county and department level is considered superior.But now, they have all become students worthy of the name, and it is not even as easy as a primary school student. Although there are lectures and translations at the beginning, as long as the words appear on the projection screen, they are all in English.They don't know these unfamiliar words at all.When I was in elementary school, the teachers started from the most basic one, two, three, and four... But now, they are facing professors from top American universities. It is impossible for professors to start from A, B, C, D. taught.Even, they hold the timetable and don't even know the subjects on the timetable.Jia Shizhen secretly looked into the dictionary for a long time before finding out that "Management behavior" is "management behavior". For learning a language, you must not have the idea of ​​quick success and instant benefit.No matter how clever you are, it is impossible to achieve the level of fluency in listening, writing and speaking in a short period of time.Jia Shizhen thought of what Hua Zuying said, that all Chinese students who study in the United States can only sleep two or three hours a night for the first six months. In addition to memorizing vocabulary, Jia Shizhen set a rule for himself in his daily life, no matter he and Chinese students, professors, translators, no matter whether they can understand or not, they all speak English, even though they sometimes make everyone laugh; I never sit down when I study English at night, so as not to doze off. I don’t lie down with my clothes until I can’t stand. I often recite words in my sleep. Now, except for their classes, they hardly communicate with each other in the rest of the time, and no one knows what the other is doing.Jia Shizhen felt that she had returned to the state that she was on the eve of the college entrance examination back then, and that kind of desperate energy was even far greater than the energy to meet the college entrance examination back then.I remember that a few months before the college entrance examination, he went to bed at twelve o'clock every night, and when the alarm clock sounded at six o'clock in the morning, he felt that he had just fallen asleep. Woke up.But now, he can't even talk about what time he goes to bed every night. He feels that he is reciting words all the time. is an English word.One morning, when the sky was getting bright, Jia Shizhen didn't look at his watch, and was about to go to memorize words on the grass. Just after leaving the dormitory, he ran into Zhou Guang. Zhou Guang said, "Shizhen, you got up so early!" Turning around while walking, it suddenly occurred to me that I hadn't slept at all that night, and now it was dawn. Hua Zuying put down her heavy study burden and came to Harmony Campus where Jia Shizhen and the others studied as scheduled.Hua Zuying has made careful preparations for the students in the training class for senior leaders. Now she is not only a teacher, but also a translator.In the face of these special students, Hua Zuying knew that no professor taught in such a special way when studying MBA in a world-class university like the United States.Hua Zuying also did not expect that she would be on the podium at such a time, facing twenty-eight high-ranking students from China.She first gave an overview of the commercial basis (Commercial basis).This course focuses on the functions, core principles and team dynamics of business. Hua Zuying used English with Chinese to explain systematically from the process of management behavior, management organization, applied statistics, financial accounting, management accounting and control, price and market, marketing management, production and operation management, which made Jia Shizhen and the others suddenly understand. cheerful.Everyone said that although the famous professors in the United States were so excited and excited when they gave lectures, the students were dumbfounded and didn't understand what they were talking about. They were not as clear as a foreign student in China.Hua Zuying said: "How can you blame other professors? It's because you can't understand English." Hua Zuying's tutoring gave everyone confidence and motivation. Only then did they feel that it was worthwhile to come to the United States, and they really learned the most advanced knowledge in the world. More than a month later, the trainees of the training class started their first inspection.Twenty-eight people were divided into four groups. Although Jia Shizhen was the group leader, he still had to rely on translators.In addition to the original female translators, the embassy temporarily borrowed three more, and each group must have one translator, otherwise they would have difficulty making a single step, not to mention inspections.The survey objects are mainly government agencies and large enterprises below the state level in the United States.It is said to be an investigation, but in fact it is all based on translation.The U.S. government attaches great importance to these special officials from China. When Jia Shizhen and the others arrived in a certain state, Mr. John Brown, the governor, not only received them in person, but also had a special exchange.In fact, what John Brown said, they only understood it through the translator. But Jia Shizhen was so serious. During the conversation, he talked about the geography, national dignitaries, and political system of the United States, including religious administrative divisions, economy, etc., which aroused great interest of Mr. John Brown.John Brown decided to cancel the pre-arranged outing and continue talking with Jia Shizhen.When Jia Shizhen talked about the way of employing people, the interpreter did not dare to translate truthfully. At that time, he called the embassy leader for instructions. The leader said that as long as it did not involve confidential content, he could translate truthfully. Jia Shizhen said that during the American Civil War, the Northern Army had an absolute advantage in manpower and material resources, but there was no progress between 1861 and 1864. However, General Li only asked people "what are their strengths".During that period, every "flawless" general under Lincoln's command was defeated by Lee's "one-skilled" general.After losing the battle and paying a huge tuition fee, Lincoln realized the trick of employing people, and appointed the arrogant alcoholic Grant as the commander-in-chief, and finally completed the historical mission of unifying the United States.Lincoln said with deep emotion: "My life experience has convinced me that people who have no shortcomings often have few advantages." Unexpectedly, John Brown was greatly moved when he heard this, and praised Jia Shizhen for being a great talent in the future.It would be great if he had such a talent by his side. Jia Shizhen said that no matter which country is in the issue of employing talents, it is the same-the employment cannot be blamed, the trick is to employ people with special skills.Those who are stable, submissive, and cautious have few shortcomings, but they certainly don't have many advantages.China, the United States, all countries are the same, this must be reformed! When parting, John Brown held Jia Shizhen's hand tightly and asked the translator to tell Jia Shizhen that Mr. Jia was the only good friend he knew in China. He not only wanted to go to China, but also specially invited Jia Shizhen and his family to come to the United States.If Jia Shizhen needs his help in the future, he will definitely do everything in his power.Whether in business or personally, he is happy and proud to have Chinese friends. After the inspection, John Brown not only called the Chinese embassy in person, greatly praised Jia Shizhen, but even offered to hire Jia Shizhen as a senior advisor to the state with a high salary. If Jia Shizhen was willing, he could arrange all of Jia Shizhen’s family members to come to the United States.Jia Shizhen waved her hands straight at that time, and said a series of "NO" in a row, everyone was amused and laughed. As a result, China's senior leadership training courses have been valued by the US government since then. No matter how hard and painful life is, no matter how sweet and happy life is, time is equal to everyone.Twenty-eight trainees of the senior leadership training class from Moyou have gone through theoretical study and two visits and inspections, and are about to end their five-month study in the United States.They didn't feel the life in heaven or hell, and they didn't come to America because of love or hate, but they saw the progress and beauty of the most advanced and developed countries in the world.As China's future political and economic stars of hope, they feel the strong geopolitical driving force, which also enables them to bravely shoulder the arduous task of global management, and at the same time conduct a comprehensive analysis of the leaders' decisions and The relationship between the United States, Japan, and Western Europe, as well as the reforms of the newly industrialized countries in Asia, Central and Eastern Europe, and the deepening of the Asian crisis are studied in depth.For Hua Zuying, this knowledge may be just theoretical knowledge in books, but for Jia Shizhen and the others, it has produced a qualitative leap in thinking. Jia Shizhen hadn't talked to Wei Bingqian on the phone for more than a month. Even though he flew to the other side of the ocean, even though his study pressure was so great, he still paid close attention to the work of the municipal party committee.Regardless of whether his job will change after returning from the trip to the United States, his heart will always be concerned about the Organization Department of the Xiyu Municipal Committee. Jia Shizhen looked at his watch and calculated the domestic time. It was around nine o'clock in the morning on Saturday. Jia Shizhen thought about it and called Wei Bingqian. "Bingqian, I'm sorry to disturb your rest." "Minister Jia, hello!" Wei Bingqian became excited and said, "Minister Jia, your studies are almost over!" "It's coming to an end, how time flies, I'm going back to China next weekend." Jia Shizhen said, "Binggan, you are all okay now!" "You and Secretary Chang are not at home, and the organization department is relatively simple in its work." Wei Bingqian hesitated for a moment, "Minister Jia, Secretary Cheng has transferred away. I was going to inform you, but you haven't called back. I can't call you, Mayor Shao directly assigned it, so..." "Normal work, people want to be transferred, we have no reason not to let people go." Jia Shizhen did not ask where Cheng Wenwu was transferred. He knew that Cheng Wenwu was different from ordinary cadres. He was Secretary Chang's secretary. , must have something to do with Secretary Chang.Moreover, because of Cheng Wenwu's promotion, a lot of conflicts have been caused. Now that Cheng Wenwu has been transferred, future conflicts have been reduced. After a short pause, Wei Bingqian said: "It is said that a county in Dongyu City has been transferred to serve as the deputy county magistrate." Wei Bingqian added, "His entire transfer procedure was done by two comrades from the Organization Department of the Dongyu Municipal Party Committee. It will be done. However, we introduced him to be the secretary and section chief of the Xiyu Municipal Party Committee Office." "Oh! Now that I've been transferred, it's up to the Municipal Party Committee and the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee to assign any position." "Also," Wei Bingqian hesitated to speak, and after a long pause, he said, "Minister Jia, there is one more thing. I wonder if anyone has told you..." "What's up?" "The Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee transferred two department-level cadres from provincial-level agencies. One was named Wei Xu, who was appointed as the executive deputy director of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee; the other was appointed as the director of the Civil Affairs Bureau." "Oh..." Jia Shizhen only said "Oh" softly, without any strangeness or surprise. "Although the appointment documents have been issued, the person has not yet arrived." "Obey the organization's decision! I'll talk about the specifics when I go back." Putting down the phone, Jia Shizhen thought quietly for a long time. In fact, he had gone through the reform of the cadre and personnel system some time ago, and the decision of the provincial party committee to study the main leading cadres of Xiyu City, especially in the past six months. Learn to feel that what you do is more or less tinged with personal power.Whether it is his passing the cultural examination as the first way to select cadres, or the current public elections, they are not the best way to select leading cadres.The most important issue is the system.Only relying on one city, no matter how good the solution is, it is only the problem of this city.As for the promotion of Cheng Wenwu, Zhang Jingyuan, and Zhuang Tonggao, it cannot be promoted just because Cheng Wenwu is the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee Secretary, and Zhang Jingyuan and Zhuang Tonggao are the cadres and section chiefs of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee. This is naturally a bit metaphysical, going from one extreme to another an extreme tendency.As for why the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee arranged for such two director-level cadres to come to Xiyu during the few months of his study with Secretary Chang, he didn't say anything, but he still felt that there was some reason in his heart, because the cadres in charge were the managers of the municipal party committee. cadres.Jia Shizhen's heart became more complicated. Now, the study of the training class for senior leaders in the United States is coming to an end. Perhaps the cadres and masses in the Xiyu area have greater hopes for his future work, but Jia Shizhen really doesn't know what to do for a while. The pressure on my body became heavier. The majestic Appalachian Mountains are covered with white snow, and the whole of North America has turned into a silver world. In Jia Shizhen's impression, the United States is a world of cold winter and heavy snow.From the second month he came to the United States, it snowed almost every day.Now that he is about to leave the United States, he doesn't know what kind of state of mind he is in. Jia Shizhen managed to persuade Hua Zuying not to let her send them off no matter what. Not only was he worried that she would not be able to control her emotions, but I don't want to see that kind of sad parting scene. Jia Shizhen and his party of twenty-eight senior Chinese leaders are about to finish their five-month study in the United States.According to Chinese custom, at this exciting and festive moment, a grand farewell banquet will be held. However, what they are holding is the graduation certificate of New York University in the United States.What they have received is the education of Western countries, and they can no longer follow the old Chinese rules.Finally, after discussion, it was decided that Chinese students would organize a farewell party. Before the party started, 28 trainees lined up in two teams, stood face to face at the gate, and shook hands with the guests who came to the party to express their welcome.But they never expected that more and more MBA students came to the party, including white, black, and yellow, in short, they were elites from all over the world.The twelve professors who had taught them also came, so Zhou Guang had to discuss with Jia Shizhen impromptu and gave a speech of thanks in English impromptu. Everyone held glasses of wine and nodded their thanks as they walked. The party has no fixed location, everyone can move around at will, communicate and speak with anyone. At some point, melodious music sounded in the hall, and afterward, couples of men and women danced lightly. A young woman with yellow hair and fair skin was pulling a tall American youth into a waltz.Then another tall, thin and handsome young man danced tango with a woman with black hair and yellow skin. The two were quick and light in their steps.These national standard dances are far from being dared to dance by Chinese officials.Zhou Guang had no choice but to pull the only female student in the training class to dance a ballroom dance, and at the same time signaled the boys and boys to dance. Jia Shizhen didn't feel in the mood to dance at all.When I was young, especially when I was in college, I also studied hard. After I got married, this kind of affection gradually faded. After being transferred to the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, I have been busy, cautious, and constantly making progress.Not long after meeting Hua Zuying, the two danced once in Hua Zuying's dormitory, but when Hua Zuying was in high spirits, he suddenly stopped.This situation aroused many memories in him, especially in the United States on the other side of the ocean. The political system of the United States is different from that of China, and the way of life of the Americans is also far from that of the Chinese.Just when Jia Shizhen was lost in thought, a woman in a long skirt appeared in front of Jia Shizhen, smiling and stretching out her hands. Jia Shizhen didn't look at the yellow-skinned woman seriously, nor accepted her invitation. He even wanted to make up something appropriate. reason to reject her.But he also thought that on such an occasion, it would be extremely impolite for a man to refuse a woman's invitation. "Sir, please!" Jia Shizhen was stunned, the voice was so familiar, so piercing to his heart, and after a closer look, he was dumbfounded, his heart was beating wildly, and for some reason, he seemed a little panicked, when he realized that he had never When there is no gaffe, the mood is excited in an instant. "You, how could you..." Jia Shizhen was a little agitated, although she warned herself not to lose her composure, her mouth was uncontrollably incoherent. Hua Zuying's face became more and more excited.When Jia Shizhen handed her both hands, Hua Zuying gently took Jia Shizhen's hand, and the two took light steps, Hua Zuying's right hand grabbed Jia Shizhen's left hand, Jia Shizhen put his right hand around her waist, The two slowly swayed to the beat of the music. Hua Zuying felt a lingering and sad feeling in her heart that she had never felt before.Neither of them was as excited and excited as those couples on the dance floor. Neither of them spoke, but they wholeheartedly matched the dance steps under their feet.They have never felt such a special mood and atmosphere so deeply. Although most of the people on the dance floor were dancing fast threes, they still danced their slow fours as if they had nothing to do with the exciting rhythm.In fact, Jia Shizhen didn't notice Hua Zuying's gloomy mood at the moment.Maybe it's her loneliness in a foreign country on the other side of the ocean, or maybe it's her reluctance for Jia Shizhen and the others to return home. At this moment, Jia Shizhen slowly followed Hua Zuying's footsteps, thinking that although dancing has become a means of friendship in many occasions nowadays, for him, he is still not used to men and women hugging each other and getting so close face to face. Xiangyi's stranger seemed even more awkward.What's more, the relationship of dancing for dancing's sake can't always find a topic.It's nothing more than where is the gentleman's high school?Sir dances well.That's uncomfortable!And they're not like that.不知为什么，贾士贞一边在跟着节拍，茫茫思绪的风帆又驰回了他们俩那些令人难以忘怀的点点往事中去。他们的相识并不是什么特别的缘分，而那次让他不明白的“鸿门宴”，却又把他和她紧紧地联系到一起。甚至他认定了两人之间有一种特别的缘分，一辈子也忘不了的一种缘分，要不是华祖莹在那关键时刻救了他，也许他早已被“双开”，成为不耻于人类的狗屎堆！那场惊心动魄的事件虽然平息了，但是他们之间的关系却已经无法说得清了。 “士贞，我觉得你有些紧张，放松一些，这是在美国，不是组织部。” “是啊，想想我们这些人，我突然觉得有些可悲，表面上个个装得像正人君子，而在背后……”贾士贞没有说下去，目光和华祖莹相距不过三十厘米，“我在想，要是能同一个自己的知己跳舞时那样自由自在，无拘无束，也不顾及什么舞姿，随心所欲，想跳就散步样地走一走，不想跳就随随便便地在舞池里享受着喧嚣环境中的小天地，那是多么畅快的事啊！” 华祖莹目不转睛地望着他，笑了笑，只是搭在他肩头的手微微抖动了一下。他似乎感觉到了什么，下意识地将目光在她脸上停留了一会儿，摇摇头，没有说话。 华祖莹冲着他的目光，倏地收敛了笑靥。她的目光越过他的肩头，显得特别地悠远。 贾士贞明显感觉到华祖莹心情的沉重，却又不便主动去问。只是他自己的心情也不知道怎么回事，总是像心律不齐那样慌慌张张的。 他俩坐到旁边的沙发上，听不清楚说话的声音，她便移了移椅子，凑到贾士贞旁边，她的腿紧挨着他，他几乎感觉到了她的体温，本想移开，却又觉得那样太不礼貌了，自己不能故作镇静，反倒觉得自己的腿更加靠得紧些。 “一般人的观点认为，在政治领域只有清和浊之分，或者说叫清和贪之分。比较典型的是清朝乾隆年间的贪官和珅，清官刘墉。时至今日，人民痛恨的是贪官，歌颂的是清官。然而除了贪官和清官，那种庸官不是更值得痛恨？他们庸庸碌碌，无所事事，工作不思进取，不敢承担半点责任和风险，时间一到，官升一级，难道这些人都是好官？我看和那贪官没有什么两样，甚至更危险，更可怕！” 华祖莹点点头。 贾士贞接着说：“归根结底，还是制度问题，自从我到了组织部之后，自从我得知组织部门选拔干部的内幕那天起，我就在想：为什么西方国家的人对'官'这个东西看得那样淡，而我们国家千军万马挤官道，人人想当官？甚至不择手段去谋官，而且屡屡得手！这其中原因，路人皆知。” 华祖莹说：“西方国家的官员权力没有中国那么大，而且当了官未必所有好处都属于他们，官员队伍也没有那么庞大。听说你讲的美国南北战争时期林肯用人的故事让约瀚·布朗大吃一惊。” “我讲那个故事主要是要说明凡是人都一样，无论是哪个国家的人。” “士贞，你行啊，你可给中国人露了脸，你要是真的到美国来，将来约瀚·布朗的接班人一定是你！” 贾士贞大笑起来，没有再说下去。 舞池里的人渐渐少了，大家又开始相互聊天。 华祖莹端着酒杯，向即将回国的中国学员敬酒，她突然有一种怀念亲人的感觉。华祖莹来到周光面前，举着酒杯，说：“周主任，时间过得真快呀！” “华姑娘，你怎么知道我们举行这个Party？”周光笑着说，“开始我说要邀请你，士贞偏说你们的学习压力大，可……” 这时，凌怡过来了，她是二十八个学员中唯一的女人。 凌怡拉着华祖莹的手，说：“祖莹，你真为我们中国女人争气啊，你从一个中国的普通女人，一下子跨入美国一流大学读MBA，进入了上流社会的殿堂，我们真的太为你高兴了。” 华祖莹笑笑，看着眼前这位四十岁的漂亮女人，中等身材，是那种让人看了一眼就不会忘了的女人，心里有一种酸溜溜的感觉。如此漂亮的女人，在中国无论是容貌、地位，绝对是百里挑一的。在莫由六千多万人口中能有几个像她这样的女人，四十岁就当上了市委常委、市委宣传部长，自己怎么和人家相比呢？ “华姑娘，我们能在美国和你相识，大家都认为是一件非常难得的事。”周光说，“何况你给我们那么大的帮助，你知道吗，在我们这二十八个学员心中，都把你当成是我们的大教授，不是你，我们还不知道怎么办呢。” “是啊，美国那些大教授讲得再好，我们听不懂也是枉然，幸亏有你呀，祖莹妹妹。”凌怡拉着华祖莹的手，一边用力握着一边说。 华祖莹红着脸说：“你们别抬举我了，我那也是没办法的事，是周主任、士贞部长，还有你们那么多父母官的一片盛情，中国有句话叫做盛情难却啊！只是我的能力有限。要是在中国，我哪能见到你们这些时代骄子啊，只怕我连你们办公室的大门都进不了。” “是啊，中国的用人制度需要改革。”周光说，“祖莹，我们等着你，我们莫由省发改委等着你！我今天当着大家的面，郑重宣布，华姑娘毕业后，只要愿意回国，我周光绝对双手欢迎！我一定把我们这些曾经做过你学生的二十八个学生都请去，你就是我们的贵宾。你就是我们的恩师！”周光显得几分激动。 这时，大家纷纷围过来，华祖莹说：“各位领导，恕我不能送各位了，就此告别！”说着，华祖莹的眼圈有些发红。但她强忍着，目光在祖国亲人那一张张热情的脸上慢慢地移动着。 大家上前握着她的手，凌怡搂了搂华祖莹，贾士贞说：“哎呀，别搞得那么悲壮，不就是美国吗？不就是北美吗？未来的地球就是地球村！祖莹，你应该高兴啊，你能有这么多学生，哪天需要大家时，个个都会鼎力相助的。你才真正是桃李满天下呢！” “是啊！祖莹老师，我们随时欢迎你回国去！”
