Life Reset: I’m the Master in the Officialdom

More than ten minutes later, accompanied by the sound of light footsteps and conversation, the president of Jinghua University and the president of Beijing University of Science and Technology walked in side by side.

As soon as they stepped into the room, they hurriedly said, "I'm so sorry, everyone, we've been waiting for so long. We're so sorry for being late!"

Their words were filled with apology. Then, their faces were filled with smiles, and they greeted the old man and Wentao enthusiastically.

You know, these principals are not ordinary people. They are all ministerial-level leading cadres!

Although the actual power in his hands may not be as high as that of the provincial party secretary, the value of the position of president of this prestigious school should definitely not be underestimated.

After all, in our Chinese land, universities like Jinghua University and Beijing Institute of Technology are all top-level institutions of higher learning.

Even the relatively weak Beijing Institute of Technology is a famous 985 university!

At this moment, Zhang Aiguo stood quietly aside, his eyes fixed on the principals in front of him who were behaving so "politely".

Seeing their warm and friendly attitude, Zhang Aiguo couldn't help but feel an irrepressible sense of surprise in his heart.

He thought to himself.

How many principals of prestigious schools are so enthusiastic and have such a good attitude?

Judging from the current situation, it seems that there is a chance that Bengang City will build a branch school!

Although Mr. Zhou was present at the scene, Zhang Aiguo did not recognize him. The limited information he could learn was that this old man was Wentao's grandfather.

However, from the respectful attitude of the newly arrived principals towards the old man, Zhang Aiguo could keenly perceive that this old man must be an extraordinary figure!

Moreover, he is definitely not an ordinary big shot. I'm afraid he is really a big shot who has all the power!

In the bustling and noisy capital city where powerful people gather, the so-called level is often unable to truly measure a person's influence and status.

This is just like in a certain TV drama that is well-known to everyone in later generations, where a small director named Zhao was so bold as to embezzle hundreds of millions of yuan!

Even if he was offered the position of director in exchange for such a staggering amount of money, he would probably refuse it.

The same is true for the presidents of famous universities.

Even though they only hold the position of principal of a school, if you really think about it, even some provincial and ministerial leaders would have to treat them politely when they meet them.

After all, who doesn't have a child who needs to go to school?

Being able to become the president of a top university is something everyone would vie for. Who wouldn't want to get close to them?

Soon, everyone took their seats.

After some greetings, the atmosphere suddenly became extremely warm.

It is particularly worth mentioning that Mr. Zhou actually showed up in person, which undoubtedly gave great face to the principals present.

You know, in today's Beijing, Zhou, Jian, and Sun, these three highly respected old men, their status is comparable to that of national treasures! Even if they set foot in the mysterious and solemn land of "South China Sea", I'm afraid they would dare to slam the table and curse. These are modern giant pandas!

At this time, Zhang Aiguo, a deputy-department-level leading cadre, willingly played the role of waiter.

I saw him busy running around, sometimes busy serving tea and water to everyone, and sometimes hurriedly serving fresh and delicious fruits and exquisite and delicious snacks, with a smile always on his face.

Mr. Zhou was narrating with great emotion his heroic deeds of fighting bravely against the enemy in the battlefield filled with bullets and smoke. The gripping plot and thrilling scenes seemed to bring everyone present back to that war-torn era.

Everyone listened with fascination, sometimes holding their breath, sometimes getting extremely excited, and from time to time bursting into warm applause and cheers.

At that moment, a waiter from the Capital Hotel slowly entered the room, smiling, leading two others. The elderly man in front was approximately sixty years old. Although time had left a silver frost on his head, his white hair didn't make him look old; instead, it accentuated his vigorous spirit.

He stood tall and straight, gaited calmly, and exuded the dignity and confidence of someone long in high office. This powerful aura emanating from within made it clear at a glance that he was no ordinary person.

The other person following him is Wentao’s brother-in-law, Jiandan, who is currently the director of the Planning Department of the Y Development and Reform Commission.

The moment the white-haired old man stepped into the room, the faces of the principals who were chatting and laughing suddenly became serious. They stood up at the same time and walked quickly forward to greet him.

Zhang Aiguo, who was sitting nearby, stared at the white-haired old man with his bright eyes, wondering to himself: "How could this man look so familiar?" But after racking his brains for a long time, he still couldn't remember where he had seen him before.

Zhou Rujie quickly stood up and pulled Wentao to greet the distinguished guest.

"Minister Li, your presence is truly a great honor to my humble home! I hope you will forgive me for not welcoming you in person!"

It turned out that the white-haired old man was Li Chunfeng, the first deputy minister of the Ministry of Education at the time.

Wentao couldn't help but quicken his pace and hurried forward in two steps.

His face was filled with a warm smile. He stretched out his hands and tightly grasped Li Chunfeng's slightly broad hands, as cordial and natural as old friends meeting after a long separation.

For Wentao, the respected old man in front of him left a very deep impression on him.

He knew very well that in five years, this deputy minister named Li Chunfeng would reach the pinnacle of his career and become a prominent figure.

At this moment, Deputy Minister Li also had a smile on his face. He looked at Wentao amiably and began to praise him: "Comrade Wentao, you have done very well in Bengang City! The comrades we sent to your Bengang for research came back full of praise and applauded the development achievements of Bengang City under your leadership! I am even thinking about organizing more comrades from the ministry to visit your Bengang City to learn from your experience!" When saying this, Deputy Minister Li spoke in a relaxed and easy-going tone, without any official airs, giving people a feeling of being bathed in spring breeze.

Hearing Vice Minister Li's high praise, Wen Tao quickly responded humbly, "Minister Li, you're so kind! I'm just doing my best as a squad leader, and I really don't deserve such praise. Furthermore, Bengang City still has many shortcomings that need improvement and refinement. I'd be more than happy to receive your and everyone in the department's careful guidance!"

After some greetings, the atmosphere became more harmonious and cordial.
