Chen Huai turned on the desk lamp and sat at the desk to read the newly revised teacher salary reform draft plan.

Zhang Wenquan and Zhang Bin were all sitting on the sofa against the wall. Wang Weicheng came over to bring tea. They were owed to thank him and did not make any noise, for fear of disturbing Chen Huai's thinking.

Zhou Qian sat aside, tidied her skirt to cover her knees, leaned her slender legs to the side, brown high-heeled sandals and brown fine leather uppers made her ankles look more slender as jade. She was quite satisfied with her head down.

Zhou Qian saw Zhang Wenquan and Zhang Bin, who were arrogant and arrogant on weekdays, was as obedient as a primary school student, as if she was afraid that she would scold her if she was breathing heavily, and she also thought it was interesting.

Zhou Qian looked at the study room and the layout did not change much from her sister before going abroad. She was just a long row of bookcases on the western wall, which were filled with books again and neatly packed, not like a single man living alone.

However, this is nothing. Even if the Xin County Magistrate is still single, seeing Zhang Wenquan, Zhang Bin and others like this, they might ask them to come over to help clean the room, and they would come over happily. In short, there will be no shortage of people here.

After her sister and her brother-in-law settled abroad, Zhou Qian only came here occasionally, but because the yard had five rooms, she lived alone here alone. Moreover, the school also had a single dormitory, so it was still empty. Until Wang Weicheng said that the yard here was rented out by him, Zhou Qian never came here again. She did not expect that the house here would be rented to the new county magistrate.

A few days ago, I passed here and saw two more security booths in front of the alley with police officers on duty day and night. I felt strange at that time. Zhou Qian only realized it at this time. Everyone said that leaders can always receive meticulous care, which is true...

Chen Huai took out the cigarette from the drawer and lit it, put the cigarette and lighter on the table. When he was about to remember something, he threw it to Zhang Wenquan with the cigarette and lighter, asked them to light it himself, took out a pen and put the name on the end of the plan draft, and said, "Well, your work is done very carefully. If there is no problem with Deputy County Magistrate Zhao tomorrow, I will directly take it to the meeting for discussion; Wang Weicheng, you will say hello to the Finance Bureau tomorrow morning and let them prepare for loans."

"Okay." Wang Weicheng agreed.

Chen Huai said to Zhang Wenquan again: "You try to do your work more carefully and not make any mistakes. It doesn't matter if the teacher's salary is paid three or five days later this month."

"We strive to finish the work within three days and ensure that there is no mistake." Zhang Wenquan said confidently, and Chen Huai agreed to the plan. Zhang Wenquan and Zhang Bin were not worried that Zhao Tianming and other deputy county magistrates would make things difficult for him.

Another thing that has been promoting the reform of fiscal and financial settlement since last year, when many places regard bank cards as rare things, the personnel of enterprises and institutions supported by Xiapu County's finance have implemented the coverage of bank wages. Such a large amount of wage settlement, and the payment work is completed within three to five days, it is possible.

Looking at Chen Huai's intention, he signaled that they should be able to say goodbye and leave. Zhang Bin was still a little unwilling to accept it and said stutteringly: "The Ministry of Education has given a three-year preparation period for the selection of national key middle schools..."

"Oh..." Chen Huai nodded, indicating that he had read the relevant materials.

Due to the huge differences in investment in educational infrastructure in different regions in the east and west of China, there is no two or three years of preparation period, if you directly get a hard indicator card, it is almost impossible for a school to be rated as a national key middle school where economic development is lagging behind.

This is obviously not in line with the original intention of the Ministry of Education to promote local governments to make key investments in key middle schools and to tilt educational resources.

However, even if the selection work will be officially launched in two and a half years, many tasks need to be done immediately now. After all, the infrastructure construction cycle is generally long.

Looking at Chen Huai, he said "Oh" and said nothing afterwards. Zhang Bin's heart was raised to his throat.

Zhang Wenquan stood up and said considerately: "It's getting late, so we should let County Mayor Chen rest. Principal Zhang, you and Teacher Xiao Zhou, please report to County Mayor Chen about the selection of key middle schools another day..."

Hearing Zhang Wenquan's hint, Zhang Bin hurriedly said, "Then we will not disturb County Mayor Chen, you will have a rest. Another day, I will report to County Mayor Chen with Teacher Xiao Zhou."

Chen Huai's eyes slid on Zhang Wenquan and Zhang Bin's face. He naturally knew what they were thinking. He just wanted to drag Zhou Qian into this dirty vortex so that they could become the step for them to enter the core of power in Xiapu County.

Chen Huai bounced the ash into the ashtray and looked at Zhou Qian. He saw that her clear eyes seemed to be unclear about the dirty rules behind the scenes. Instead, he was more curious about him, the new tenant, and was ignorantly stepping on the edge of the waves.

Chen Huai turned around and asked Wang Weicheng: "Weicheng, what do you think?"

Wang Weicheng said: "Teacher Xiao Zhou's boyfriend Xiao Xu is from the Municipal Design Institute. Teacher Xiao Zhou is indeed familiar with the addition plan of the county; it's better to listen to Teacher Xiao Zhou telling Principal Zhang..."

Chen Huai thought to himself that Wang Weicheng was unwilling to be with Zhang Wenquan, Zhang Bin and others. He smiled and said to Zhang Wenquan. Zhang Bin: "The Education Bureau and the County Middle School have a wrong working style in this regard, so I won't waste time listening to your report..."

Zhang Wenquan and Zhang Bin didn't care about complaining about Wang Weicheng exposing Zhou Qian's boyfriend in front of Shen Huai. After hearing Chen Huai's words, his back became tense...

For them, this is no longer a problem of Zhou Qian joining the new county magistrate circle; if their work ideas are completely denied by Chen Huai, it actually means that they may be pulled down at any time and change other work ideas to those who have Chen Huai's appetite. Moreover, in the current situation, there is not even a little room for them to struggle.

Zhang Wenquan and Zhang Bin both felt sweat beads coming out of their foreheads, but they didn't know how to ask Chen Huai and what was the correct way of working.

"..." Chen Huai's eyes swept over Zhang Wenquan, Zhang Bin's face and said, "Although local financial difficulties and cannot achieve complete tuition and miscellaneous fees reduction, the country has long established the policy of nine-year compulsory education, so in the future, investment in primary and junior middle schools will insist on the path of financial appropriation. However, when it comes to high school and secondary vocational education, the finance should also provide funding support, but accordingly, schools should also undertake part of the financing of education, and should take the path of combining the two in the future..."

"Asset-based reform?" Zhang Wenquan asked uncertainly.

There are many problems with financial and educational instruments, but it has to be said that the level and number of talents gathered in these two systems are obviously higher than those of other systems.

"Higher secondary schools and secondary vocational education are in asset restructuring, but not privatization. You must establish this idea first," said Chen Huai. "The county plans to establish a state-owned education group to divest the assets of the county middle school and seven secondary vocational schools. Then, in addition to the investment of 100 million by Xinpu Development Group, the county finance will focus on the investment in the compulsory education stage in the next few years and will no longer make any major grants to the education group. The lack of funds for the development of the education group can be used to market-oriented channels, and the county will issue policy support. Of course, the school funds of the county middle school junior high school department can be separated and calculated separately..."

Chen Huai picked up the watch at the corner of the table and looked at it. He said to Zhang Wenquan and Zhang Bin: "It's very late, you can send Teacher Xiao Zhou back first; Wang Weicheng stays, I have something to say..."

Zhang Wenquan and Zhang Bin just learned about Chen Huai’s ideas and needed to adapt to it. When Chen Huai was expelled from the guests, of course he didn’t dare to talk about anything. He said goodbye to Zhou Qian and left.

Wang Weicheng said: "Splitting senior high schools from secondary vocational schools and carrying out asset-based operations may cause great controversy..."

Chen Huai said: "There have been done this in other places. Better middle schools in Pingjiang City have become more popular, so we cannot take too big or too conservative. Moreover, in the next step, colleges and universities will also have related actions and criticisms are inevitable."

"..." Wang Weicheng nodded and said, "Although Xiapu County is a major education county, the continued enrollment rate after graduating from junior high school is less than 50%. If the investment in the education stage at junior high school or above is considered the responsibility of the government, it is not fair to those who have not enrolled. We should still take the path of combining financial allocations and joint investment of social resources..."

"The economic system reform has been nearly twenty years, and the social system reform will be fully launched in the future. We need to establish a basic social security system, but not a comprehensive social security system. Maybe many people cannot accept this idea yet, but we must clarify it from the beginning. Of course, we should also prevent going too far," said Chen Huai. "I have determined the relevant ideas, but the more detailed plan is for you to focus on cooperating with the Education Bureau. There are many things that the county has to do, and you must make good use of this 100 million..."

"..." Wang Weicheng nodded. Now the deputy county magistrate in charge of the education office is conservative. Chen Huai will not rush to kick people if he is not satisfied. Therefore, when it comes to specific matters, he can only temporarily appoint others to be responsible.

***************************

Wang Weicheng walked home without driving. When he got downstairs in the community, he saw Zhang Wenquan and Zhang Bin sitting in the car waved to him.

Wang Weicheng knew that Zhang Wenquan and the others were worried, and they were afraid that they would not be able to figure out Chen Huai's ideas, so they came to block his door. He walked over and except for Zhang Wenquan's driver, Zhang Wenquan and Zhang Bin were sitting in the car, thinking that Zhou Qian should be sent back to her residence.

"Director Wang, the county will invest 100 million this time to establish an education group. Although County Mayor Chen provided an idea, Zhang Bin and I were still confused," Zhang Wenquan pulled Wang Weicheng into the car and said with a angrily voice, "Director Wang, you have to mention some brothers. If we can't figure out County Mayor Chen's work ideas, it would be too embarrassing..."

"Director Zhang, what are you saying?" Wang Weicheng smiled. It was really late, and he didn't want to keep Zhang Wenquan and Zhang Bin away. He said directly, "Mr. Chen's plan early in the morning is to merge several secondary vocational schools under the county and run a multi-disciplinary comprehensive college, so that he can start higher vocational education first if he has the conditions. If the conditions permit in the future, he can also apply for higher education. In this way, Xiapu County can also have its own university. At present, County Mayor Chen hopes to place national key middle schools and comprehensive colleges under the education group to develop, and also reserve development land in the planning of Lingang New City..."

"That's how..." Zhang Wenquan and Zhang Bin looked at each other, and realized that their understanding was not a little different from Chen Huai's ideas.
