Chapter 774 The real intention
"Find a role model for yourself, and know how to be grateful and self-reflective. I didn't expect you to be such a young man. I have to say that you are quite thoughtful. But I always doubt that you really Will you be grateful to Huo Xin? Do you think this is an unreasonable disaster? Do you feel that our Huo family is bullying others?"
Director Huo's mood is obvious? Keep getting better.
The answer to this kind of question is a no-brainer.
Of course Ning Weimin knows how to respond.
"No, how could it be! Between Huo Xin and me, it would be unconscionable for me to say that I don't owe her anything. It is only right to take responsibility for one's own actions. What's more, no matter what, even if you punish me, I have gained from Huo Xin It will be more than what I paid. So I will only be sorry, only grateful, and have no complaints. I really hope that Huo Xin can be happy, that is what she deserves."
"Of course. That’s what I hope. But it’s useless to talk about it. Will you put it into action? What would you do if I really forgive you? >
This time it was Ning Weimin's turn to be surprised.
Because of the director’s assumption, it seems that we are only one step away from true understanding.
Such a sudden kindness, although it was something he wished for, was really unbelievable.
So he seemed to understand but didn't really understand Director Huo's intention.
Is this a casual joke?
Or is there another deeper temptation?
Or is it a signal that you want to make a deal?
"I...I know nothing about Huo Xin's current situation. If I can do anything for her and make up for my mistakes with practical actions, of course I will be happy. You...what do you want me to do? What? I will try my best.”
After being stunned for a while, Ning Weimin could only consider his words and make a slightly confused promise.
He left himself a certain amount of leeway to avoid failing to export, which would further damage his character and lead to a more unfavorable situation.
“Huo Xin went abroad to study, and a friend of mine abroad was responsible for taking care of her. Her current condition is still not very good, but it has improved compared to last year. I think after a while, she will Recover better. So what you have to do is stay away from her and never disturb her again."
Director Huo looked a little sad when he talked about his daughter's condition, which also made Ning Weimin's face. Very ugly.
But at the same time, Ning Weimin couldn't help but feel a little lucky.
Because Director Huo was able to tell him these situations, it proved that Director Huo was indeed seriously considering how to end the grudge between them.
If this troublesome matter can be solved, there will be no sequelae.
For this reason, of course he is willing to be more active.
"I understand, and I will definitely not bother her again. However, living abroad is expensive. If I can make it financially..."
"It's totally unnecessary, you don't Do you think I want to talk to you about money? I am not as practical as you, and I will not make such a principled mistake.”
"No, no, please don't misunderstand, I just want to..."
"No need to explain, just listen to me. My conditions haven't been finished yet, it's not as simple as you think."
Director Huo paused and continued with a hint of sadness, "I only have a daughter like Huo Xin. I love her very much, but after all, I can't protect her forever. Frankly speaking, in fact, if you look at her It's very accurate. Her biggest problem is her temper and temperament. "
"She is too straightforward, impulsive and willful. Not only will she not be able to pursue an official career, she will probably offend people more often in the future. Well, it would be nice if no one would add insult to injury. "
"But you are different, you are not only very patient, you are also good at speaking, and you know the current situation. , I will adapt, and the future will not be different. Then maybe one day, when I can't take care of Huo Xin, you may be able to lend a helping hand and give her a little help."
"If she encounters major difficulties then, and you still remember that Huo Xin once helped you and are willing to return her favor, then I have nothing to complain about you. How about it, can you promise me? ”
Ning Weimin never expected that Director Huo would propose such a condition.
Suddenly, he felt extremely weird.
Obviously, the big man in front of me just now tried his best to classify himself as a despicable and shameless person.
And he showed his deterrence by conducting a detailed investigation on himself, as if he could destroy himself at any time.
How come in the blink of an eye, he is so kind and trusting, but thinks that he is the help that Huo Xin can rely on decades later?
It’s like I’m trying to support myself. The contrast is too great.
But then I thought about it carefully, and I couldn't help but admire his thoughtfulness and the depth of his city.
He suddenly realized that during today's meeting, Director Huo was not originally here to raise an army to investigate crimes.
It is a face-to-face test, a close observation and examination of his character and humanity.
That makes sense.
Originally, if you want to cause trouble for yourself, why bother asking questions in person?
No matter Director Huo’s rank or position, such an unwise approach should not be adopted.
"Director Huo, please rest assured. Even if my conscience suffers from amnesia, those paintings and calligraphy will always remind me. I promise you that if one day, Huo Xin really encounters difficulties. Whether I have or not I will do my best to do whatever I can, and I will try my best not to let her know." Ning Weimin's promise was not watered down.
For no other reason than feeling guilty, he also felt a little pity for the parents in the world.
Director Huo’s plan for Huo Xin definitely has good intentions.
For this meeting, I actually investigated him thoroughly.
And he also overcame the anger of a father and took the initiative to reconcile with the guy who hurt his daughter.
If you consider their disparate status, this is simply a humiliation.
What did Director Huo get in the end?
A promise that may never be fulfilled.
This can only be said that Director Huo considers his daughter wholeheartedly and spares no effort to "insure" his daughter's future.
As expected, what happened next proved this point.
Originally, following Director Huo's statement, "Okay, I believe you." Ning Weimin thought this conversation was over.
But he didn't expect that what he thought would be the end of the story didn't happen. Director Huo said again, "Now that we've finished talking about personal matters, let's talk about official matters." The conversation entered the second half.
And what is shocking is that the chief secretary actually placed a promising but unattainable future in front of him.
“You performed very well throughout our conversation today. In fact, although I have learned a lot about you in advance. But this face-to-face understanding, I still feel that your current job is a bit underwhelming. You Are you willing to try a more promising and meaningful job? Are you willing to serve the country and work in the foreign affairs department? "What? You want to work in the foreign affairs department?" Let me join the public service? "
No matter how calm Ning Weimin is, he never expected that such a dream would happen, that Director Huo would actually recruit him.
"No, no, what can I do? I need academic qualifications but not academic qualifications, resume but no resume..."
Director Huo cast a playful look on Ning Weimin's face.
“Don’t belittle yourself, academic qualifications are easy to deal with. The schools within our proprietary system solve this problem. Resumes are more flexible for grassroots personnel, not to mention that they are far less important than talent. The point is, you know how It’s about socializing. And you’re especially good at organizing large-scale cultural activities.”
“You run the Tan Palace Restaurant very well. You also plan and execute Pierre Cardon’s cultural activities in the Temple of Heaven. ? And the Zhai Palace Exhibition Hall, you accompany all the important visitors. Our department now has more and more meetings, banquets, and receptions, so it’s perfect for you to do this work. "
"And in addition to mastering basic English, you are also learning Japanese, right? That's good, but it's not enough. You should also learn French and Spanish, because of colonial history. It has a much wider application range than Japanese.”
A black gauze hat would suddenly fall from the sky and hit him squarely on the head without any warning.
This can't help but make Ning Weimin's mind spin and his imagination become richer.
"No, Director Huo, thank you for your consideration. But you really don't need to do this. I will keep my promise to Huo Xin, and I don't want to ask for anything extra."< br>
"What? Why are you panicking! Do you think I will make a deal with you again? I just made it clear that this is a business matter. No matter how much I love my daughter, I will not use it for personal use. In principle, Give in on the issue. Do you understand?"
Then Director Huo explained in a comforting tone.
"Don't worry about it. I just value your talents and want to select talents for the country. Do you think I'm investigating you just for some personal grudges? No, it's more important because you have done many things that ordinary people have done. Something that cannot be done. Do you think that my trust in you came out of nowhere? As I said it, I suddenly changed from doubting to trusting you. Frankly speaking, you were able to take the initiative to donate the bronze. You voluntarily gave up job opportunities to neighbors, you donated toilets in several streets, and you made the Zhai Palace Exhibition Hall open to public tourists for free. This all proves that your nature is not too bad. This is why I can trust you. . I am meeting you this time just to make sure you are not the kind of person who can do such a thing."
"I, I don't know what to say. I'm afraid I have to think about it. ”
Faced with Director Huo’s special appreciation and solemn statement, Ning Weimin felt deeply honored.
But I have to admit that Director Huo is really unfathomable, and my brain is getting increasingly unable to keep up.
Especially this kind of investigative ability is frightening.
Didn't Huo Xin's father rely on his mouth to eat?
Why is it that, like the secret agent Ouchi, there seems to be nothing he doesn’t know about me?
How long have you been checking yourself?
At this moment, Director Huo showed off his superb negotiation experience.
He is gentle and patient, guiding him like an elder.
"You have to think about it carefully, after all, it is related to your own future. You know, our country's civilization inheritance, in history, society only recognizes two kinds of elites. One is the political elite, and the other is the cultural elite. Than Apart from doing things for foreigners and starting your own small business, this is the real way out.”
“Actually, your conditions are better than Huo Xin’s. She can’t pursue an official career, so she can only try. There is another way. If you are willing, I will be in charge of contacting you about the contract with Picardon. I can arrange for you to go to the Communications Office of the European Department first. "
< br>"You are still very young, and your age and ability are your greatest advantages. As long as I am here, your work achievements will not be ignored. Didn't you just complain to me about social injustice? Didn't you have no choice? I will give you such an opportunity now. You must seize it.”
