Lin Zheng went to the company the next morning to handle some official business.
Director Tang Xiaoyi from the Propaganda Department came to report on the work.
This woman is relatively young among the ministers, but she knows how to behave.
After she finished her report, she asked anxiously: "Director Lin, are you going to attend the centenary celebration of your alma mater this afternoon?"
Lin Zheng looked up at her in surprise: "Yes, Minister Tang, how did you know?"
Minister Tang acted coquettishly: "Director Lin, I also graduated from Ugong, okay? I also received an invitation."
Lin Zheng was a little surprised: "Oh, I didn't even know that, it turns out that Minister Tang is still my senior sister."
No wonder Lin Zheng found that she was dressed so appropriately today, a simple white shirt and a hip-hugging skirt. She had a graceful figure, but she was a bit old.
Tang Xiaoyi hugged the information in her hand and said jokingly: "Director Lin, actually there are many of your alumni here at our company headquarters, but you don't care enough about us."
In fact, every unit has its own alumni group, but Lin Zheng doesn't like to participate in this thing. Tang Xiaoyi likes to socialize very much, so he is the group leader.
"This is indeed not enough. What should I say? Are you all going to attend the school anniversary? Do you want me to ask the company to provide a car and go there together?" Lin Zheng asked.
Tang Xiaoyi looked at Lin Zheng with a smile and asked tentatively: "That's not necessary. Everyone has a car and everyone lives in different places. It's not very convenient to use the bus. However, there is a situation that I want to talk to you, Director Lin.
Report it."
Lin Zheng had long felt that she had something to say, so he replied calmly: "Just tell her."
Tang Xiaoyi hesitated: "The alumni of our company want to unite to donate some things to their alma mater to thank their alma mater for its education. The things have been bought, but everyone feels that they are not important enough and are unwilling to take the lead.
"
Tang Xiaoyi paused here and looked up at Lin Zheng's expression. He saw that Lin Zheng's expression did not change much.
As if a stone had fallen from his heart, he continued: "I just thought, if we don't let you, Director Lin, be the leader, then our weight will definitely be sufficient."
Lin Zheng looked at Tang Xiaoyi's face and quickly understood that it was someone else who was trying to make his face look good and giving him a big gift package.
In fact, several of their alumni knew privately that Lin Zheng was an alumnus, but if this alumni thing is not exposed and promoted, it will be tantamount to a useless relationship.
Don't underestimate this relationship.
In Lin Zheng's last life, he and Mr. Lin were also schoolmates, but if they don't use it or move around, then it's really just a relationship. But in this life, due to a strange combination of circumstances, this relationship has been sublimated, and this is how Lin Zheng is today.
.
So several of their alumni started thinking about it a few days ago.
How can they draw Lin Zheng into their camp and form a relationship of interest? The only way is to directly send warmth and face to Lin Zheng. Their plan is to pay for gifts and then let Lin Zheng be the leader.
In this way, although the names of the few who contributed money may be put behind and no one cares about it, by doing so, they will have a reason to interact with Lin Zheng, and at the same time, the relationship with this alumnus will be deepened.
Already.
These thoughts are alive and well.
Lin Zheng thought about it carefully. Putting aside their starting points, the idea of donating things was not a bad idea, and as the chairman of a company, he seemed to be doing something empty-handed.
Donating something would make a difference. It would mean that I am a great benefactor to the school.
"Mr. Tang, your idea is very good. We don't need to use any personal name. We can donate directly in the name of the company and promote our company by the way." Lin Zheng replied.
When Tang Xiaoyi heard this, she pretended to be very excited and surprised and said: "Director Lin is still Director Lin, why didn't we think of it? We are still too narrow-minded. Donating in the name of the company, this name is even bigger.
And it can also achieve a certain publicity effect.”
Lin Zheng knew in her heart that this guy was putting on a show. As the director of the company's publicity department, how could she not think of such a trivial matter? She just wanted to show her kindness and flatter Lin Zheng.
But humans are not grass and trees, so how can you be unaware of other people's kindness?
"Well, what did you buy?" Lin Zheng asked.
Tang Xiaoyi: "We bought a batch of books."
Lin Zheng thought for a while and replied: "The books are good, but the publicity for us is not enough. The books are placed in the library and it is difficult for ordinary people to see them."
"So, Director Lin, what do you have to say?"
Lin Zheng: "Don't we have those cement seats on the school's campus? Let's see if we can get a batch of donations like this and engrave them with our Aier family logo. This will also have a certain publicity effect. Of course
Since it is in the name of the company, let the company pay the money."
Tang Xiaoyi became even happier: "Okay, Director Lin, you have a good idea, I will implement it right away."
"Well, you can come up with a plan for me, keep all the invoices and receipts, and I'll just sign it for you when the time comes."
Tang Xiaoyi left with satisfaction. In fact, the conversation between her and Lin Zheng today was planned. She wanted to give Lin Zheng benefits, but she couldn't say it directly.
Some words are so disgusting that it is difficult for you to say them.
But people only look at your results. As long as you are doing it for their own good, no matter how hard you act, everyone will tacitly agree that Lin Zheng will still take it all and add a weight.
After lunch, I asked the driver to take me to the university town, until I was almost near my alma mater.
"Okay, Master Fei, just let me down here. Xiao Wu, you don't have to follow me. You can go do whatever you like. I'll walk around by myself."
When Lin Zheng saw the inner ring road, he was a little touched and moved deeply.
"Okay, Director Lin, let's take a walk nearby. If you need anything, call me anytime and we will come and pick you up." Secretary Xiao Wu is becoming more and more sensible now and understands what he should and shouldn't do.
"Well, pay attention to safety and drive carefully, there are many students."
Lin Zheng didn't show any pretense, he just gave a few instructions and got out of the car directly.
Lin Zheng walked alone in the school.
Looking at the familiar dining hall, classrooms, and groves, Lin Zheng thought of every bit of college and the crazy scene with the thunderstorm. He got a little excited and forgot about the time.
Suddenly the class group exploded.
"Who in our class is coming to attend the alma mater's anniversary? Let's gather at the basketball court. Tianshu, Xiaobai and Ruofan and I are all here." The speaker in the group was Professor Song Guangwen. This guy was recommended to graduate students of this school when he was an undergraduate.
To be honest, Lin Zheng didn't know why he was able to send a recommendation but he couldn't, because his grades were better than his. From what Lei Yu meant at the time, he had something to do with it, and he didn't know whether it was true or not.
This guy is very good. He studied at the school for graduate school, then for a doctorate, and finally stayed at the school to become a teacher.
I heard that I was promoted to associate professor last year.
He was doing well. Lin Zheng hadn't seen him since he graduated in his previous life, and he didn't want to see him in this life. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that he had robbed him of his spot.
But time has passed, and now I have washed away all my glory, become famous, and have put aside all my grudges. I don’t know what it will be like for this kind of person who has never left the ivory tower. Lin Zheng was a little curious about him, so he walked over quickly.
