Chapter 55 Consult and report more frequently
The next day, as agreed, Chen Che appeared outside Yan Zhengsheng's office right on time and gently knocked on the office door.
"Go in." Yan Zhengsheng's voice was full of energy and had a long, resonant quality, showing that the fisherman's physical condition was indeed good after being exposed to the wind and sun outside.
Chen Che pushed open the door and entered, immediately seeing Comrade Lao Yan looking at the paper materials in his hand with an appreciative expression.
Yan Zhengsheng glanced at Chen Che as he entered, then continued looking at what he was holding.
"Secretary Yan," Chen Che said respectfully.
"Yes, please sit down."
Only after Yan Zhengsheng spoke did Chen Che sit down opposite him in the office chair on the other side of the desk.
After Chen Che sat down, Yan Zhengsheng put down his manuscript and said, "Xiao Chen, I have to correct you. I am the deputy secretary, not the secretary."
"What's with this 'director' and 'deputy' thing? Does it mean you, as the deputy secretary, do less work than the secretary? Don't you shoulder all the affairs of the college? In my eyes, you are the secretary, there's no difference. You're both contributing to the development of the college." Chen Che explained in a serious tone, showing that an old actor like him can handle this kind of situation.
Sure enough, upon hearing Chen Che's words, Yan Zhengsheng's lips curled into a smile that he was about to break, but ultimately managed to suppress.
You're supposed to be the deputy secretary, but your ability to keep your emotions in check is still lacking.
You still need to practice.
Yan Zhengsheng did not fall for the flattery, but his tone was noticeably lighter: "Actually, if you hadn't come to see me, I was planning to call you over."
"Take a look." Yan Zhengsheng pushed the materials he had been reading in his hand in front of Chen Che.
Chen Che looked closely and, good heavens, this was Chen Sui's report! The top page was her confession letter, albeit a photocopy.
"A few days ago, the school held a democratic symposium to discuss the issue of teachers' ethics and conduct. Each college was given this document, and we were asked to study it seriously, take it as a warning, and extract its core spirit."
Then Yan Zhengsheng suddenly laughed: "When I looked at it, I realized it was written by one of our students!"
"Uh..." Chen Che didn't expect this turn of events. Unable to figure out Yan Zhengsheng's attitude towards this matter, he could only remain silent and not rush to speak.
"Chen Sui, I think she's your girlfriend, the one I met the other day, a pretty young girl."
Chen Che didn't argue; whether or not his girlfriend was involved wasn't the key issue in this situation.
"These characters... are really well written," Yan Zhengsheng exclaimed in admiration.
"This article is also very well written, especially this sentence: 'Life is inherently long, but the busy shorten it; the world is inherently vast, but the narrow-minded confine it.' It suits my taste very well, and I like it very much."
"He's a master at writing reports."
When people see a good article, those who know how to appreciate it will unconsciously express their feelings. Just like Chen Lin's proclamation against the traitors, it was like an arrow leaving the bowstring, piercing through solid stone, and as bright as starlight. It cured the Prime Minister's headache and was more effective than ibuprofen.
"Shouldn't she have joined the student council by now?" Yan Zhengsheng asked.
"Yes, Secretary Yan, she's from the External Relations Department," Chen Che replied.
"What a pity, what a pity. If only you could come to the publicity department and write articles for the college website and official account, you could definitely become a skilled writer with more learning, writing and practice." Yan Zhengsheng felt a little regretful and disappointed.
"Uh, Secretary, you want her to come to the publicity department to write materials, isn't that just a matter of telling the student union?" Chen Che reminded her.
"Hehe, then there's no need for that. Forcing things might work for a while, but regret will linger in the end. A student like this would shine anywhere."
Just like you'll never get to see Liu Tao play Bai Jie, life is always full of mismatches, so people have to learn to accept all kinds of regrets and imperfections.
"Yes, yes, that makes sense." Chen Che nodded like a chick pecking at rice, playing his role as the straight man.
"However, Xiao Chen, there's something I need to remind you about. When you do things, you need to be mindful of the methods and approaches. You can't just act recklessly, you know?"
"Although this matter ended well, people should still come to us to discuss it when they encounter similar situations."
Chen Che's heart skipped a beat. The thing he was worried about had happened. He had been rebuffed by Sun Ning and Wu Wei. Chen Che had originally planned to first go to Zhu Jingdong and Yan Zhengsheng to report the matter, but Chen Sui went straight to the principal.
In the past, this was equivalent to suing an official beyond one's jurisdiction. If the higher-level government wanted to accept your complaint, they would have to beat you up before they would even begin to process it.
However, it seems that Yan Zhengsheng has also pinned the blame on himself, so he won't argue and will just honestly take the blame for Chen Sui.
Chen Che looked regretful: "Secretary Yan, this is the first time I've encountered something like this. I didn't think things through and made such a big fuss without careful consideration. I'm sorry for causing you trouble. In the future, if there are similar situations, I will definitely consult you and report to you first."
"Yes, it's alright, I'm glad you understand." Yan Zhengsheng nodded. It's understandable that a college student encountering something like this so early in their career would be quite distressing. He could understand that the other party had humbly accepted what needed to be said and what needed to be taught, so that was fine.
"Alright, tell me why you came to see me." Yan Zhengsheng lifted the lid of his teacup and took a sip of tea.
I never expected that we would go through such a long detour before the main show even started.
Chen Che said in a deep voice, "Secretary Yan, the main reason I came here is to report to you on the current operation of our 'Zhengdian French Fries'..."
Over the next five minutes, Chen Che briefly recounted the process from app development to operation, promotion, and small-scale expansion, presenting a picture of prosperity and thriving growth.
Yan Zhengsheng felt a little sleepy as he listened. He had heard most of what was said at the meeting that day, except that it included some trivial matters about moving into the incubator.
"Is there anything else?" Yan Zhengsheng asked.
"Well, the other one is..." Chen Che boasted for five minutes, laying the groundwork enough. Such an amazing project is short of money right now; even a skilled cook can't make a meal without rice.
"Oh?" After all that nonsense, we're finally getting to the point.
"Secretary Yan, you must understand that starting a business is a risky business with a very low success rate, especially since I am a college student starting a business right now. Without the support of the school, it would be even more difficult."
"So, Secretary Yan, I have some information to report to you. We have successfully applied for the incubator, but another round of funding has not yet been received," Chen Che said meekly.
"And I heard that the school isn't planning to provide that money."
"Well, it's already a lot of work that the school gave us a place to set up this small business. I can't ask for too much. If we don't get the money, we don't get it. At worst, the project will just fall through."
Upon hearing this, Yan Zhengsheng was about to say something like, "Don't be so pessimistic," when Chen Che continued:
"But the most important point is that my desire to start a business at the school is not for money at all. It's mainly to have the opportunity to serve my fellow students and the school, and to contribute to your and the school's honor."
"Everything else is secondary."
Chen Che spoke without changing his expression, his words righteous and sincere; at this moment, making money was no longer important.
Otherwise, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to hold back.
"Ahem." Yan Zhengsheng supported his philtrum with his hand, covering the lower half of his face, and coughed twice to cover up his emotions.
Although Chen Che managed to hold back, he couldn't.
