Chapter 91 Preparations and Arrangements
China only began to implement the May Day and National Day golden weekly holiday system in 1999. Before that, only one day off on Labor Day was on May Day. However, coincidentally, April 29 and April 30, 1995 were the big weekends, so a three-day holiday appeared, giving adults and children who were usually busy going to work or school a rare opportunity to rest.
However, Cai Xinghuo was so busy that he didn't touch the ground for the past three days that he couldn't get any rest.
Cai Xinghuo's name comes from the famous saying of the great leader, "Sparks can start a prairie fire". It has a very distinctive feature of the post-70s generation. He is a counselor of the 1995 computer science and application technology major of Sanjiang University. He originally planned to take advantage of this holiday to travel to Huangshan with his girlfriend who had been dating for more than half a year, and then find an opportunity to roll the sheets and cook the raw rice into a cooked rice. As a result, the man's calculation is not as good as the God's calculation. At 4:17 pm on April 28, less than 3 hours before the departure time on the train ticket, the department head Zeng Fanhao called him.
Zeng Fanhao, like taking stimulants a while ago, went to work with a blush on his face every day, got off work happily, laughing before he spoke, and walking with wind. Many rumors said that he had been designated as the dean of the upcoming Computer Academy. Cai Xinghuo immediately judged the situation and bought two bottles of good wine to visit him, and curled up to him.
However, a few days later, Zeng Fanhao suddenly became listless, as if he had become a teenager overnight. His face turned red and turned into a gray face. He was very happy and turned listless. He had a cold face all day long and scolded people when he saw them. The direction of the gossip changed, saying that he plagiarized an open source software called iView to cheat research funds. The original author discovered it and sent a stern lawyer letter from the United States. Fortunately, the school leaders withstood the pressure and solved it privately, so that the scandal was not allowed to spread. Otherwise, Zeng Fanhao would not even be the director.
Cai Xinghuo didn't know what iView and open source software are. He had never heard of these two terms before, but he felt sorry for his two bottles of good wine and was very despised Zeng Fanhao. He felt that such a shameless villain who was inferior to Kong Yiji was not worthy of being the department head at all. Therefore, when he was called over, he deliberately neglected and delayed for more than ten minutes before walking from the 4th floor to the 5th floor and knocked on the door of the department head's office.
After entering the door, Cai Xinghuo felt something was wrong, because Zeng Fanhao's face was as dark as the dark clouds before the heavy rain. He was about to lightning and thunder, so he quickly explained with a smile: "Director, I was helping two students get employment registration forms just now, which took a few minutes."
Zeng Fanhao snorted, threw a wrinkled piece of paper through the desk, and ordered hard: "Leave this matter to you."
Cai Xinghuo felt a thrill in his heart, feeling that his holiday plan was about to be ruined. He picked it up from the ground and found that the file was issued by the school's Academic Affairs Office, with a document written on it: Mr. Du Qiu, a developer of iView browser, inventor of iScript language, the pioneer of the open source software movement, and the world-renowned computer software programmer, will hold a technical speech on the first floor of the school's multi-function lecture hall at 2 pm on May 2, 1995, and ask the Computer Department to do a good job in reception and preparation.
I'm stunned!
This is coming to the door to play the house in person!
Cai Xinghuo looked at the unsatisfactory document paper, feeling secretly happy, and asked deliberately: "Director, what is the origin of this Du Qiu? What specifications should I receive?"
"How do I know what he is from? You won't go to the Academic Affairs Office to ask?!"
Cai Xinghuo was scolded by the crowd. Not only was he not afraid, but he felt more comfortable. So he looked nervous and tantrums and teased again: "Director, this Du Qiu has a lot of titles, but it is all false. He has neither a title nor a position. Moreover, he doesn't know what this iView or iScript is. I'm afraid the students are not interested in listening to the speech."
"Title?! Hehe..." Zeng Fanhao squeezed out a few sneers from his teeth and mocked: "Of course it's all false! Just a liar who has not graduated from elementary school, what professional title can he have?"
Do you dare to come to college to give a speech before you even graduate from elementary school?
Cai Xinghuo was shocked. His self-esteem as a senior intellectual made him temporarily throw away the mentality of watching Zeng Fanhao's jokes and asked seriously: "Director, how can such a person come to our school to give a speech? Did the Academic Affairs Office make a mistake?"
With the help of a returnee doctor, Zeng Fanhao worked hard for more than half a month. He completed the plagiarism of iView in mid-April, and then wrote a report of flowers, which was not only handed over to Chen Zhiyang, but also to other leaders. He was full of joy and hoped that he would become the dean and reach the peak of his life.
Unexpectedly, things are unpredictable. The overseas returnees didn't know what was wrong in their minds, so they recorded the plagiarism process and then disclosed it to Du Qiu by email in the name of academic exchange. Du Qiu immediately sent a lawyer's letter, asking Sanjiang University to deal with it seriously, otherwise the evidence would be made public, which would ruin Zeng Fanhao.
Zeng Fanhao was hit hard and panic. In a panic, Chen Zhiyang immediately sent 180,000 yuan of mediation funds, almost all the money he had saved up from deducting scientific research funds over the years, and finally covered up the matter.
After the matter calmed down, Zeng Fanhao's mind returned to his clarity. After thinking for several days, he finally realized that he had fallen into the trap of the old leader, but he had no choice but to know. With Chen Zhiyang under his belt, even if he couldn't become the dean, he could still maintain the position of the department chair. If he turned against him, let alone the department chair, he might not even be an ordinary university professor.
"The people from the Academic Affairs Office know nothing! This is Chen..." Zeng Fanhao was furious, but he still controlled his mouth in time, waved his hand impatiently, and urged: "I'll leave this speech to you. Don't make trouble for me, go to work."
After Cai Xinghuo left the director's office, he felt that he was in trouble. There was only one leader named Chen who could command the Academic Affairs Office, that is, Chen Zhiyang, the executive vice president. Everyone in the Computer Department knew that Zeng Fanhao was Chen Zhiyang's direct descendant, but now it seemed that the two of them had turned against each other. The gods fought and the little ghosts suffered. They were caught in it. If one of them was not handled well, they would be killed.
It seems that the two of them are no longer incompatible, and it is impossible to get along with each other...
Although the county magistrate is not as good as the current management, Principal Chen personally arranged for Du Qiu to come to the school to give a speech, which seemed to be trying to get him to the end...
Cai Xinghuo stood at the stairs and thought about it. After smoking several cigarettes in a row, he made a decision. He took the unspoken paper and went directly to Chen Zhiyang's office. After informing the secretary, he was soon received.
"Hello, Principal Chen, my name is Cai Xinghuo. I stayed at school after graduating from graduate school two years ago. I am now a counselor in Computer Science and Applied Technology."
There are many types of counselors, some are recruited from other schools, some are staying after graduation, and some are the ones who are the counselors who are two years after graduation, and then they are exempt from taking the postgraduate entrance exam. Such counselors can find another job after finishing their graduate studies, and may not necessarily stay at school, so they are the least valued. Therefore, when Cai Xinghuo introduces himself, he will first explain the origin clearly to avoid misunderstandings from Chen Zhiyang.
"After graduating from graduate school, I stayed at school? That's good. I'm just a good person and I'm working hard. The school is now short of talents like you." Chen Zhiyang said a few moments and asked, "What do you think about the preparations for this speech?"
"President Chen, that's what I think." Cai Xinghuo didn't know which immortal Du Qiu was, but he was quite wise and said clearly: "The news on the university campus is blocked. Although Mr. Du has achieved remarkable achievements, ordinary students may not have heard of his name. Therefore, I want to promote Mr. Du's identity and scientific research results before the speech was officially held."
Chen Zhiyang nodded slightly and asked, "This speech was a temporary invitation. It is quite hasty and is about to be on holiday again. How are you going to promote it?"
"President Chen should have Mr. Du's information here. I want to borrow it with shamelessness and make it into a promotional brochure, and then study one by one in the dormitory unit." Cai Xinghuo saw Chen Zhiyang's expression of praise and felt calm, so he followed the trend to express his merits and explained: "Now college students are relatively noble and proud. Although they can arrange for them to listen to speeches in class units, if they do not do the publicity work in advance, they may not listen carefully at that time. This will not only waste Mr. Du's time, but also let down Principal Chen's painstaking efforts."
"I have Du Qiu's information here. You can go to Secretary Gao later and ask him to give it to you."
Cai Xinghuo thanked him and said, "Principal Chen, as usual, at the beginning of the speech, he would arrange an introducer to introduce the speaker to the students. Originally, Director Zeng of our department was the unscrupulous candidate, but he has been ill recently, has become ill, has not felt very comfortable, and is not very stable in his mood. Do you think you should make another arrangement?"
Chen Zhiyang nodded lightly and said, "Since Lao Zeng is in poor health, don't attend the speech. I will be the introduction to Du Qiu at that time."
Cai Xinghuo showed an exaggerated look of surprise and complimented: "With Principal Chen personally as the introduction, Mr. Du will definitely be flattered."
"Plained? He might think I had bad intentions and put him on the fire to roast him." Chen Zhiyang shook his head with some self-deprecating self-deprecatingness and asked, "Is there anything else?"
Cai Xinghuo had already completed his purpose of coming to find Chen Zhiyang. He originally wanted to say nothing was wrong, but was about to get up to say goodbye, but suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed and said, "Principal Chen, can I meet Mr. Du or talk to each other? Let's talk to each other and hear what his requirements are. This is more appropriate to arrange it."
Chen Zhiyang met Cai Xinghuo just to show that he had no official airs. The school staff could come to him for anything. Now he felt that Cai Xinghuo was a talent who knew both the rules and was good at doing things, and was worth cultivating. So he said kindly: "Yes, go and tell Secretary Gao and let him take you to find Du Qiu."
Cai Xinghuo got a document worth more than ten pages from Secretary Gao. After reading it, his eyes almost fell off. In addition to Du Qiu's inspirational experience of self-taught, many experts and scholars at home and abroad also had almost all praises about him or his works. They were not a liar who had not graduated from elementary school, but more like a living legend.
"Secretary Gao, are these information real?"
"Of course it's true, President Chen personally confirmed it." Gao Mingda saw that he was half-believing and disagreed, so he emphasized: "In addition to your department's teachers and students, some professors from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and other universities have also invited to participate in this speech. You must do your best to do your best to do your preparations."
Cai Xinghuo felt his shoulders sinking, his heart pounding. He felt that he had finally seized the opportunity to show off. So he left the matter of traveling with his girlfriend behind and spent the whole night writing a speech preparation plan. The next morning, he followed Secretary Gao to the Institute of Quantum Physics with enthusiasm to meet Du Qiu.
However, Du Qiu poured cold water into a scoop of cold water on his head, pouring Cai Xinghuo's enthusiasm into a icy lump. He didn't even read the plan and made four requirements directly: First, do not have any form of welcome ceremony; Second, do not force students to listen to speeches; Third, allow reporters and students from other schools to listen to speeches; Fourth, allow him to post advertisements in school to promote speeches and his own company.
"Secretary Gao, these requirements are not a big problem, but will it be too simple if such arrangements are made?"
"Principal Chen said everything would be listened to him."
