At three o'clock in the afternoon, the working meeting of the Provincial Department of Education's Party Committee was held in the large conference room on the ninth floor. The meeting was attended by members of the Party Committee of the Provincial Department of Education, inspectors, deputy inspectors, and discipline inspection cadres from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection stationed in the Provincial Department of Education. The meeting was presided over by Zhu Zhenghe, director of the Provincial Department of Education. The director of the Office of the Provincial Department of Education took the minutes of the meeting. "Comrades, good afternoon, everyone. This meeting mainly discusses the issue of provincial education reform. Other issues will not be discussed. National education It has been several years since the reform was proposed in the late 1990s. Among them, Hunan Province took the initiative to become a pilot for national education reform. Hunan Province's education reform has made many achievements. This is obvious to all. But there are The shortcomings are also shocking. In today's working meeting, we will not talk about the achievements. We will only talk about the various problems that exist. We will focus on how to solve these problems. Only in this way can the education reform work in Hunan Province be better and better. Let Hunan province's education take the lead in the country." As soon as the meeting began, Zhu Zhenghe's eyes swept across everyone and said slowly.

His tone was very elegant. It was no different from his previous style. Zhu Zhenghe was like a good old man in the Provincial Department of Education. He usually spoke without a trace of anger and without any value. However, the content of his speech this time was obviously different from The content of various previous occasions has changed a lot. The issues he mentioned were very sharp. This party group meeting only talked about issues and not achievements. He would never say such things before. Zhu Zhenghe took a break and took a sip. Cha continued: "Comrades, next year is a crucial year for the education reform in Hunan Province. Because our education reform in Hunan Province is already at a crossroads. How to choose is related to the entire Hunan Province. The success or failure of education reform will also affect the final direction of education reform across the country. After all, Hunan Province is one of the three major pilot projects, and it is the most representative of the three major pilot projects. Okay, so much has been said. We have been emphasizing the importance of education reform. In fact, these are commonplaces. If you say it too much, you may feel your ears are ringing. I will start here. In the following time, please express your opinions. Let’s talk more about this education reform. problems existing in it.”

After saying that, he took the tea cup and took a slow sip of tea. He looked at everyone. The conference room fell silent for a while. The sound of lighters and cigarettes and the sound of drinking tea came and went. It was like a concerto. At this time, most people's eyes were on Xiang Xue Wenqiu, Deputy Secretary of the Party Leadership Group and Deputy Director of the Provincial Department of Education. Xue Wenqiu is usually an activist. Once Zhu Zhenghe finished speaking in previous party group meetings, Xue Wenqiu would take over. Sometimes he would even speak before Zhu Zhenghe. Everyone also Knowing that Xue Wenqiu would take over as director of the Provincial Department of Education in the next few years, Zhu Zhenghe seemed to have acquiesced to this fact. They felt strange that Xue Wenqiu was so abnormal today. A long time passed after Zhu Zhenghe finished speaking. .Xue Wenqiu has not made any move yet.

In fact, no one knew that Xue Wenqiu was also waiting for Lin Jinhong to speak first. He wanted to suppress Lin Jinhong at the party group meeting and give him a showdown. Xue Wenqiu felt that Zhu Zhenghe had changed a lot in the past two days. He vaguely felt that such changes should be because of With the arrival of Lin Jinhong, he felt that if there was anyone else in the Provincial Department of Education who could influence him to take over as the director of the Provincial Department of Education, then this person must be Lin Jinhong and not anyone else.

Xue Wenqiu's idea was very good. Unfortunately, he waited for a long time. Lin Jinhong always lowered his head and did not speak. Xue Wenqiu felt that his patience was slowly disappearing. If the meeting was left alone, where would he put his face? He was patient Unable to hold on, he finally coughed and cleared his throat, attracting everyone's attention. He said slowly: "Comrades, Director Zhu just said that this meeting will only report worries and not good news. I think Director Zhu's This formulation is very good and very innovative. In today's society, there is no meeting that reports the good news but not the good news. Even before, most of our meetings reported the good news but not the bad news. Since there is this formulation, then I will According to the leader’s request, let’s talk about the problems we have in the provincial education reform.”

"Reform is to change the old and unreasonable parts and make them more reasonable and perfect. Literally understood. This reform will cause some people to lose their vested interests. At the same time, it will allow people who originally had no rights to regain some. Rights. It can be seen from this that reform is not an easy thing. It will offend some people. In order not to lose the power in their hands, these people must do everything possible to prevent the reform and lead the reform astray. So the reform came into being. question."

Speaking of this, Xue Wenqiu took a sip of tea. "If we want to solve the problem, then we must discover the root cause of the problem. What is the root cause? It is who will lose their power as a result of our education reform. As long as we supervise With these people, we have found the root cause. The next problems will be much easier to deal with. This is the general idea of ​​​​reforming to solve problems. With such a general idea to guide us to reform, we can avoid taking some wrong paths. Make the reform proceed smoothly. Let me analyze below who will lose their vested interests due to the reform. Educational reform covers all aspects. But there are three points that must be pursued. The first is to achieve a higher level of universal education. Basically universal preschool education ; Consolidate and improve the level of nine-year compulsory education; popularize high school education and increase the enrollment rate of higher education. From this point of view, we can find that if we want to popularize education, it is inevitable to increase investment in education. Increase Investment in education will significantly increase local government fiscal expenditures. Government department leaders will believe that increasing investment in education will delay the rapid development of the local economy..."

As soon as Lin Jinhong, who was sitting in the back, heard Xue Wenqiu say this, he knew that he was coming for him. Lin Jinhong raised his head, and sure enough, he saw Xue Wenqiu's eyes looking this way. The eyes of the two people collided in the air for an instant, and they were wiped out. Sparks. Xue Wenqiu did not expect Lin Jinhong to accept the challenge at this time. He felt a little surprised. However, a sneer-like smile quickly appeared on his lips. Xue Wenqiu suddenly stopped and said leisurely: "For this question "I think Director Lin Jinhong of the Reform Office should have more say. He has also worked at the grassroots level before, and is also the top leader. Comrade Lin Jinhong, please talk about this issue. Okay." After speaking, he held the tea cup and looked at Lin Jinhong leisurely.

Everyone was startled. They all followed Xue Wenqiu's eyes and looked at Lin Jinhong. Lin Jinhong had only been here for a day. Not many people knew him. It could be said that there were less than four or five people in the entire conference room. At the same time, everyone was a little confused about the name Lin Jinhong. Familiar. After all, Zhu Zhenghe had mentioned Lin Jinhong's name more than once. Following Xue Wenqiu's gaze, everyone saw that Lin Jinhong was so young, but he was the director of the Reform Office and a division-level leader. His division level was higher than other division-level leaders in the Education Department. Some inspectors at the deputy department level have much greater power. They can be said to be the top division-level leaders in the Provincial Department of Education.

Lin Jinhong smiled slowly and said: "I think we should let Deputy Director Xue finish the three key points first. I won't be too late to say more. Deputy Director Xue's theoretical views are very novel. Everyone can't wait to continue. Listen to it. If I speak at this time, I'm afraid it will arouse the public indignation of the leaders."

Xue Wenqiu was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Lin Jinhong to kick the ball back to him so easily. It's very different if you have been at the grassroots level. Xue Wenqiu wanted to say something. Suddenly, he heard Zhu Zhenghe say: "Jinhong Comrade is right. Comrade Wenqiu, don’t be humble. Let’s go on to finish the three main points. Okay.”

Now that Zhu Zhenghe had spoken, Xue Wenqiu did not dare to go too far. He had to continue: "The current leaders of party and government departments at all levels have a consensus that everything should be centered on economic development. Since increasing investment in education will Delay local economic development. Let's assume that this assumption is correct. They are naturally unwilling to do this. It can be said that they think this harms their vested interests. For this reason, they will do everything possible to prevent education reform. This is education reform. The most serious and prominent problem discovered so far is that reform requires money. If there is no money investment, how can we carry out reform? Today, investment in education across the country is generally not high. This problem seriously restricts education reform. .”

Lin Jinhong originally had some expectations for Xue Wenqiu's views. But as soon as he heard this, he understood. Xue Wenqiu was still repeating the same old tune. Everything is aligned with money. It seems that education reform means constantly throwing money into it. Money. If you spend too much money, the reform will be successful. If this is the case, will the national education department still set up a pilot project? Just spend a sum of money and throw it away, and the results will come out. Lin Jinhong lost interest. Then I focused on the expressions of the people around me. Some nodded, some shook their heads quietly. Some pretended to be inspired and shook their heads. Some simply squinted their eyes and pretended to fall asleep. All kinds of Such expressions were all reflected in Lin Jinhong's eyes.

Zhu Zhenghe also shook his head slightly. Lin Jinhong was stunned. It seems that Xue Wenqiu is not a perfect successor in Zhu Zhenghe's eyes. Of course, whether Xue Wenqiu can become Zhu Zhenghe's successor, Zhu Zhenghe has no way to stop it. Zhu Zhenghe has no control over the personnel issues at the top level of the Hunan Provincial Department of Education.

At this time, a burst of warm applause broke out, interrupting Lin Jinhong's thoughts. Xue Wenqiu finally finished speaking. He held the tea cup and looked at himself. Lin Jinhong knew that Xue Wenqiu would not let go of the opportunity to suppress him this time. He just wanted to avoid it. There's no way to avoid it. What's more, I have no intention of avoiding it at all. People are pressing on me step by step. Wishful escape is never an option.

"I will click here. Everyone welcomes Comrade Lin Jinhong, director of the Reform Office, to speak." Xue Wenqiu took it upon himself to hand over the right to speak to Lin Jinhong.
