Chapter 59: Deputy Minister Tang
October 8, 1994.
In the late afternoon, teachers and students from the Academy of Music flocked to the school's large playground.
A large stage had already been set up on the playground, and a professional lighting and sound team had begun testing equipment since afternoon.
"Fei Fei, are you nervous?" Mo Shao Kun asked in the resting room.
Yin Fei gave him a strange look and shook her head lightly.
Mo Shaokun smiled wryly, he could see that Yin Fei was really not nervous, and it's no wonder, Yin Fei had participated in countless piano competitions since she was a child, now this situation for her is still not considered a big stage.
The problem is that Mo Shaokun was nervous, he had never thought that one day he would also be standing on the stage singing and performing for people, thinking that in a while thousands of people below the stage would be staring at him, he felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.
"It's actually no big deal, if you're nervous just don't look at the audience below or simply close your eyes and sing." Yin Fei said.
Mo Shaokun nodded, and there was nothing else he could do.
"You two try it on first to see if it fits." Liu Xuanxuan walked in from outside, still holding two sets of clothes in her hand.
Mo Shaokun and Yin Fei were slightly stunned, then they looked at Liu Juanjuan and said: "Teacher Liu, what's this?"
"Stop nagging, go and change quickly." Liu Juanjuan stuffed the silver-white men's suit into Mo Shaokun's hands, then pulled Yin Fei along, saying: "Let's go, I'll accompany you."
At first, Liu Xuanxuan didn't think much when she assigned this arduous task to Mo Shaokun, simply hoping to fill the program. But after seeing Mo Shaokun and Yin Fei's performance at the Art Center yesterday afternoon, she suddenly had very high expectations for this program that was originally used to make up the numbers.
So last night Liu Xuanxuan almost contacted all her friends and finally managed to borrow two sets of formal wear for the couple just before tonight's party started.
More than ten minutes later, when Mo Shaokun and Yin Fei met again in the rest room, they both stared at each other blankly.
The silver-white dress made Mo Shaokun's figure more slender, and with his handsome appearance and the unique temperament on his body, he looked like a noble young master at this moment. Not to mention Yin Fei, even Liu Juanjuan's eyes were shining brightly beside him.
Yinfei was even more like the noblest princess, and with her outstanding appearance, she wore that fashionable yellow evening dress, anyone in front of her would lose their color.
It's really a match made in heaven, Liu Xuanxuan suddenly had such an idea in her heart, but the next moment she shook her head with a bitter smile, what was she thinking about, these two were both her students after all.
For student Liu Juan, the requirements have always been very strict. Although she is young, some of her ideas are even more conservative than those of older people. She strongly opposes students from falling in love and believes that once they enter university, they should grasp these four years tightly to learn knowledge, and as for romance, it's something that should be considered after graduation.
"Perfect, great! I'm looking forward to your performance tonight, and hopefully you can bring back the first prize for me!" Liu Juanjuan clapped her hands and said.
In another rest room, Wei Qianqian stared at herself in the mirror with a gloomy expression.
She only knew yesterday that Mo Shaokun and Yin Fei were going to perform a program together! When Mo Shaokun was called by Teacher Liu to arrange the task, she was not in the classroom, but had asked for leave to practice dancing. It wasn't until yesterday when Teacher Liu announced the program list of this welcoming party at the class meeting that she knew about it.
It can be imagined how uncomfortable Wei Qianqian's heart is at this moment!
The party is scheduled to start at 7:00 pm sharp, and this year, the School of Management has a total of 11 new classes, with as many as 29 programs submitted. Assuming each program lasts between 5-10 minutes, this welcoming party is expected to last over three hours!
At 6:50, all students of the Academy of Management were present. The academy leaders had also taken their seats in the front row, and even the old president of Ande came in person.
At this moment, the old principal was talking in a low voice with the people around him. Suddenly, a middle-aged man ran over with a slightly flustered expression and bent down to whisper something in the old principal's ear.
The old principal raised an eyebrow, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. A moment later, he stood up and said to the other leaders of the two levels of institutions around him: "Xiao Wang just received a call from the Provincial Office, informing us that Governor Cui is accompanying Vice Minister Tang of the Ministry of Education on their way to Andag, and they are expected to arrive in 15 minutes. Let's go and greet them together."
Everyone was staring at the old principal in shock. Cui Provincial Governor? Tang Deputy Minister? How did they come at this time?
Although most of the people present knew that a working group from the Ministry of Education was coming to Andong to conduct research, no one expected them to choose this time to come to Andong. This is not in line with common sense. Who has ever seen anyone rushing to school at night for research?
"Xiao Wang, immediately go and inform other school leaders to ask them to rush to the main gate at once. Also, the evening party has been postponed."
Outside the school gate, dozens of Andong leaders gathered together, whispering and waiting.
"Principal Lao, Governor Cui and Vice Minister Tang, why did they choose to come at this time?" asked one of the deputy principals in a low voice.
The old principal shook his head. This morning, he had just received a notice from the Ministry of Education that the research team would come to Andong tomorrow morning to investigate the construction work of key disciplines, but who would have thought that Vice Minister Tang would arrive tonight?
However, the old principal is not worried about this either. If Deputy Minister Tang wants to make trouble for him, he won't come over at night, and there must be another reason for this.
Before long, under the escort of a police car, several sedans and an Iveco slowly drove over.
The motorcade stopped at the school gate, and Governor Cui and Vice Minister Tang got out of the provincial committee's No. 2 car.
"Oh dear President Wang, I'm really not worthy of having so many esteemed professors waiting for me here." Tang Weiguo quickly stepped forward and shook the old principal's hand.
The old principal laughed and said: "Director Tang, I know you can't stand this old man."
"Haha, Mr. Wang, you said that, I don't even dare to enter the gate of Ande University." Tang Weiguo also laughed and said.
Tang Weiguo and the old principal are also considered old acquaintances. Since he went to work at the Ministry of Education, he has been in contact with the principals of various universities. To be honest, every time he sees these principals in his office, he gets a headache because whenever they come, there is only one reason - for money!
Having greeted other school leaders one by one, the group got back on the car and headed into the school.
When he came, Tang Weiguo was sitting in Director Cui's car, but now he is sitting in the old principal's car. After all, Ande is Principal Wang's territory, and when you come to someone else's territory, you still have to give them some face.
"Director Tang, this is a surprise attack on me!" The old principal laughed and said in the car.
Tang Weiguo said, "You're wronging me. The An Da Guan Institute is the only one of its kind in the country, and this time we came down mainly to take a look at the An Da Guan Institute. Coincidentally, I heard that the welcoming party for new students was tonight, so since there's nothing else going on, I'll just come over and take a look."
The old principal smiled and said nothing, but in his heart he didn't believe Tang Weiguo's words at all. Could the deputy minister of education really be so idle?
At this moment, Tang Weiguo was thinking of his son. It had been more than two months since Mo Shaokun left Kyoto. Although they would often make phone calls to each other, it couldn't alleviate the pain of missing each other after all. Coincidentally, the Ministry of Education was preparing to send a research team to Andong University, and Tang Weiguo naturally became the leader of this research team.
Mo Shaokun never dared to skip class again after being warned by Liu Xuanxuan, so he called Qin Xin and told her about it, mainly to indicate that the supermarket side might not be able to help. After learning that his uncle was going to Anping, Qin Xin told him that Mo Shaokun would perform a program at the welcoming party.
If Tang Weiguo hadn't arrived in Anping yet, that would be fine, but since he happened to arrive at the right time, he naturally wanted to take a look.
He originally wanted to come quietly, but unexpectedly this matter was known by Governor Cui. Last time because of Mo Shaokun's matter, Governor Cui almost offended the old Tang family, now that someone from the old Tang family has arrived, he naturally wants to make a good impression, so this matter has become what it is today, not only with a full dispatch of police cars opening the way, but also many reporters from the provincial TV station and newspaper have come.
