50s: Starting with a storage ring

Chapter 154 Succession
Among the younger generation of Beihai Kindergarten, only Sun Zhiwei is the most outstanding.

He comes from a good family, has a calm and generous personality, a keen political sense, and is flexible and unconventional in his methods. He is truly the best candidate to take over as the principal.

He has two disadvantages right now. One is that he is too young. Sun Zhiwei will only be 10 years old in October this year, but people at that age usually use the age in lunar calendar, so it seems that this is not a bad sign.

Another disadvantage is that her external connections are too weak. But there is no need to worry about this. Before she leaves, she will definitely pass on all the connections she has to Sun Zhiwei.

A large part of her current network of contacts was left to her by the previous principal. Revolutionary work emphasizes succession and the handover of personal connections, which is also a form of succession.

Another thing is that she has reached the age limit. She was 55 years old last year, but the higher-ups couldn't find a cadre who was willing to work in the kindergarten and met the job requirements to take over.

In the eyes of other cadres, although such a small kindergarten is of high level, it is not a good place to go.

If your major is not suitable, you will easily get into trouble at work and may get stuck in it and unable to get out. Of course, no one will be willing to come.

If the higher-ups really force people to come here, it will make people feel like it's a form of exile, which is not easy to decide, so it will be delayed.

Director Wang was helpless as he saw that he could not retire due to his age, so he had to promote Sun Zhiwei as an exception and prepare to train a successor in the park.

The higher-ups tacitly approved her move and let her try. After all, the final decision still rested with the higher-ups. If it didn't work out, they could always transfer someone else to prepare for another situation.

As it stands, the successor trained by Director Wang has performed quite well.

The higher-ups also talked to Director Wang, hoping that she could persevere, get her on the right track, and continue on her way.

In short, Sun Zhiwei's succession work was accomplished through the joint efforts of many parties.

During the Chinese New Year, Director Wang took Sun Zhiwei to visit eight families in seven days to wish them a happy new year. Among them were one leader each from the navy, army, and air force, one leader from the General Logistics Department, one leader from the foreign affairs department, one leader from the daily newspaper, one leader from the security compound, and the home of the former director, Ms. Yu.

Among them, the leader of the security compound was someone he knew. Sun Zhiwei lived in the security compound for a long time when he was a child, and he was considered a celebrity. This leader was the one who held the fish banquet.

After seeing Sun Zhiwei, he patted his shoulder enthusiastically and said familiarly: "Call me if you have any problems in the future. You are also considered one of our family members in the compound. You can come to me for any matter, big or small."

The Security Compound is his hometown, and Sun Zhiwei feels a sense of familiarity with the place, so he naturally agreed.

The senior leaders of the navy also knew him, and the first thing they said when they saw him was: "It was you, kid, who got all the young people in our compound drunk by yourself?"

Sun Zhiwei was almost embarrassed by this, and Director Wang also looked at him sideways.

He did it once, after getting someone drunk, on their wedding day.

It was an exaggeration to say that he got drunk with all the young men in the compound. That day, he only got Zhu Baoguo, Jiang Xinrong and a dozen other young men in the compound drunk, and then drove them back to the compound.

That group of people suffered a lot when they came back. They were basically beaten when they got home, and the 3000-word self-criticism tortured them to death. They have not yet gotten revenge.

Now that the boss was in front of him, he could only smile awkwardly: "Brother Bao and Brother Jiang are still in the compound?"

"Them? I sent them all to the army. Otherwise, do you think they wouldn't come and cause trouble for you?"

Sun Zhiwei heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that everyone had been imprisoned in the army. "The army is good. It's a melting pot. Maybe I can drink a few pounds more when I come back."

"Hahahaha, even if I add a few pounds of alcohol, I can't drink more than you. You are a big drinker." "So, are you interested in joining the Navy? As long as you can drink those Air Force guys down, I guarantee you will be promoted to Major."

Seeing that Senior Leader was trying to poach Sun Zhiwei right in front of her, Director Wang quickly stepped in to stop him. Sun Zhiwei was her hope for retirement, and she couldn't let him fool her away.

"Come on, Xiao Sun is already a level 16 junior team leader, and he still needs you to level him up."

"Hey, can the local level 16 be the same as the military level 16? Don't say anything, let him speak for himself."

"Leader, I'm originally from the Navy compound. It doesn't matter whether I come or not. If you need me to charge into battle, just give me a call and I'll come."

"Forget about the air force, even the army. I'll help you get them all drunk too."

"Yes, you married Jia Jia, the most beautiful girl in our compound. You are the son-in-law of our navy compound, right?"

"You married someone and never came back. I almost forgot about it."

"Well, my father-in-law and his family won't be coming back to live here either. The twins are also tied up at home, so they can't come often."

"Let's not talk about it before. Let's make a deal. From now on, you have to come when I call you."

"That's for sure. You're always available." Sun Zhiwei agreed readily. With Tong Jiajia's relationship, he would have future dealings with the navy, so he would definitely agree.

When Chief Gao saw that he agreed, he was very happy and asked his guard to get him a new military uniform.

After leaving the Navy compound, Director Wang took him to the last stop, the old director's home.

The old director was born in 21 years ago, younger than Director Wang, but with more experience than Director Wang. He just graduated from Beijing Normal University this year and was transferred to the National Defense Science and Technology Commission.

Director Wang took Sun Zhiwei to meet his old superior, hoping that the old director could take care of him.

Beihai Kindergarten was founded by the old principal, and the relationship between them is extremely deep. Now that the third successor has come, she naturally has to inspect him.

Obtaining the approval of the old principal is also very important for Sun Zhiwei's succession. He carefully responded to the old principal's inspection.

"Leader, please help me take a look at the successor I found. Can you give me some guidance if there are any shortcomings?"

"Old Wang, I trust the person you chose very much. What's the point of the inspection? I'm not in charge of the garden's affairs anymore."

"Xiao Sun, just focus on your work. If you need my help in the garden, just ask. I built Beihai brick by brick. I will protect you no matter what happens."

The two had dinner at the director's house, after which Director Wang reported to the old director about the recent restlessness of the young people in the garden.

At this point, the park’s main external relations shifted to Sun Zhiwei.

Of course, Director Wang has more connections outside than just these few, but these are the highest-level ones. For the rest of the people, she only needs to meet them once at work, without having to make a special visit.
