National Tide 1980.

Chapter 774 The real intention
"Find a role model for yourself, and know how to be grateful and introspective. I didn't expect you to be such a young man. I have to say, you are quite caring. But I always doubt, will you really appreciate Huo Xin? I am here this time Find Qi Qiuhou to settle the score. Do you think this is an innocent disaster? Do you think that our Huo family is bullying and resentful?"

Director Huo's mood obviously continued to improve.

The answer to this kind of question doesn't even require thinking.

Of course Ning Weimin knew how to respond.

"No, how could it be! Between Huo Xin and me, if I say that I don't owe her anything, it's ignorant of my conscience. It's only natural to be responsible for my actions. Besides, no matter what you say, even if you punish me, I get it from Huo Xin Yes, it will be more than what I paid. So I will only be sorry, only grateful, and have no complaints. I really hope that Huo Xin can be happy, that is what she deserves."

"Of course that's what I want. But it's useless to just say it. A person's conscience shouldn't just be on the lips. Will you pay for it? Suppose, if I really forgive you, what would you do? "

This time it was Ning Weimin's turn to be surprised.

Because the director's assumption seems to be one step away from a real understanding.

Such a sudden kindness, although he could not have wished for it, was really unbelievable.

So he half-understood, and didn't really understand Director Huo's intentions.

Is this a casual joke?
Or is there another deep-seated temptation?
Or is it a signal that you want to make a deal?

"I... I don't know anything about Huo Xin's current situation. If I can do something for her and make up for my mistakes with practical actions, of course I would be happy. You... What do you want me to do? I will do my best .”

After being stunned for a while, Ning Weimin could only think about his words, and made a slightly confused promise.

He left a certain amount of leeway for himself, lest if he failed to do so, it would be more detrimental to his character, and he would fall into a more unfavorable situation.

"Huo Xin went abroad to study, and a friend of mine abroad took care of her. Her current condition is still not very good, but compared with last year, it has improved. I think she will recover better after a while. So all you have to do is stay away from her and never bother her again."

When Director Huo talked about his daughter's situation, his expression was a little sad, which also made Ning Weimin look very ugly.

But at the same time, Ning Weimin couldn't help but feel a little rejoiced.

Because Director Huo was able to tell him these things, it proved that Director Huo was really thinking seriously about how to end the grievances between them.

This troublesome matter can be resolved, and there will be no sequelae.

For this reason, he is of course willing to be more active.

"I understand, I will definitely not bother her again. However, the cost of living abroad is not small, if I can financially..."

"It's completely unnecessary. You don't think I want to talk about money with you, do you? I'm not as practical as you, and I won't make such a principled mistake."

"No, no, don't get me wrong, I just want to..."

"You don't need to explain, just listen to me. I haven't finished my conditions. It's not as simple as you think."

Director Huo paused, and continued with a bit of regret, "I only have a daughter like Huo Xin. I love her very much, but after all, it is impossible to protect her forever. Frankly speaking, you can actually see her very well. She The biggest problem is temper and temperament."

"She is too straightforward, impulsive and willful. Not only will she not be able to go on in her official career, but she may often offend people in the future. It's okay when the wind is down, but it's good if no one hits you when you encounter obstacles. I'm afraid no one is willing to help her."

"But you are different. You are very good at being a man. Not only can you endure, you are eloquent, you know the current affairs, you can be flexible, and your future is not bad. Then maybe one day, when I can't take care of Huo Xin. You may be able to help, Do her a little favor."

"If she encounters major difficulties at that time, and you still remember that Huo Xin once helped you and is willing to return her a favor. Then I have nothing to complain about. How about it, can you promise me? "

Ning Weimin never expected that Director Huo would raise such a condition.

Suddenly, he felt extremely unbelievable.

Obviously the big man in front of him just now did his best to put himself in the ranks of despicable and shameless people.

And he showed deterrence by conducting a detailed investigation of himself, as if he could destroy himself at any time.

How come in a blink of an eye, Yan Yuese trusts him again, and regards himself as the help that Huo Xin can rely on decades later?
It's as if you want to support Gu, and the contrast is too big.

But after thinking about it carefully, I couldn't help but admire his thoughtfulness and the depth of the city.

He suddenly realized that Director Huo hadn't come to this meeting today for the purpose of prosecuting the teacher.

It is a face-to-face test, a close observation and examination of other people's character and humanity.

So it makes sense.

Originally, why bother to ask in person if you want to trouble yourself?
Regardless of Director Huo's rank or position, such an unwise approach should not be taken.

"Director Huo, don't worry. Even if my conscience suffers from amnesia, those calligraphy and paintings will always remind me. I promise you, if one day, Huo Xin really encounters difficulties. No matter whether I have the ability or not, I will try my best to be considerate. I'll do my part. And I'll try to keep her from knowing as much as possible."

Ning Weimin's promise was not watered down.

Not for anything else, apart from feeling guilty in his heart, he also feels a little pity for the world's parents.

Director Huo's plan for Huo Xin is absolutely well-intentioned.

For this meeting, he actually investigated him completely.

Moreover, he overcame the anger of a father and took the initiative to reconcile with the guy who hurt his daughter.

Considering their disparity in status, this is simply a humiliation.

What did Director Huo get in the end?

A promise that may never be kept.

It can only be said that Director Huo is thinking about his daughter wholeheartedly, and spares no effort to "insure" her daughter's future.

Sure enough, what happened later proved this even more.

Originally following Director Huo's statement, "Okay, I believe you." Ning Weimin thought that this conversation was coming to an end.

But he didn't expect that what he thought was the end of the song did not happen. Following Director Huo's sentence, "The private matter is over, let's talk about the business." The conversation entered the second half.

What's more shocking is that the chief secretary actually put in front of him a promising future that he could meet but never dreamed of.

"In our conversation today, you have performed very well from the beginning to the end. In fact, although I have known you a lot in advance. But this face-to-face understanding, I still feel that your current job is a bit inferior. Would you like to give it a try? A more promising and meaningful job? Are you willing to serve the country and work in the foreign affairs department?"

"What? Me? Going to work in the Foreign Service? You want me into public service?"

No matter how calm Ning Weimin was, he never thought that such a fantastic thing would happen, and Director Huo actually wanted to recruit him.

"No, no, what can I do? I want a degree but I don't have a degree, I want a resume but I don't have a resume..."

Director Huo cast a playful look on Ning Weimin's face.

"Don't underestimate yourself. Educational qualifications are easy to handle. The schools within our proprietary system can solve this problem. The resume is more flexible for the grassroots personnel, and it is far less important than the talent. The point is, you know how to communicate. And especially Good at organizing large-scale cultural events.”

"Didn't you manage the Altar Palace Restaurant very well? You also planned and executed the cultural activities of Pilkardon Company in the Temple of Heaven, right? You also accompanied the Zhai Palace Exhibition Hall and the visits of important tourists. Well. In our department, there are more and more conferences, banquets, and receptions. You can’t be more suitable for this kind of work.”

"And besides your basic English, you are also learning Japanese, right? That's good, but not enough. You should also learn French and Spanish, which are far more widely used than Japanese because of their colonial history. .”

A black gauze hat would suddenly fall from the sky, and it would hit him squarely on the head without any warning.

This can't help Ning Weimin's mind spinning, and his associative power becomes richer.

"No, no, Director Huo, thank you for your attention. But you really don't need to do this. I promise to Huo Xin, I promise to do it, and I don't want to ask for anything extra."

"What? Why are you panicking! Do you think I'll make a deal with you again? I just made it clear that this is a business matter. No matter how much I love my daughter, I won't use it for private use and give in on issues of principle. You Understand?"

Afterwards, Director Huo explained in a relieved tone.

"Don't worry too much, I just value your talent, and I want to choose talents for the country. Do you think I investigate you just for a little personal grudge? No, it's more because you have done a lot of ordinary people. Something that can’t be done. Do you think my trust in you came out of nowhere? As I spoke, I suddenly changed from doubting to believing in you. Frankly speaking, when you offered to donate bronze wares back then, you could put The job opportunities you offered to the neighbors, the toilets you donated in several streets, and the exhibition hall of the Zhai Palace opened to the public for free. These all prove that your essence is not too bad. This is why I can trust you .I met you this time just to make sure that you are still the kind of person who can do such a thing. "

"I-I don't know what to say? I'm afraid I'll have to think about it."

Faced with Director Huo's special appreciation and solemn statement, Ning Weimin felt deeply honored.

But I have to admit that Director Huo is really unfathomable, and my brain is getting more and more unable to keep up.

Especially this kind of investigative ability is frightening.

Didn't Huo Xin's father eat by mouth?
Why is it like a secret agent in the Ouchi, there seems to be nothing about him that he doesn't know?
How long have you checked yourself?
But at this moment, Director Huo displayed his proficient negotiation experience.

Lukewarm, patiently guided by the image of an elder.

"You have to think about it carefully. After all, it is related to your own future. You know, in the history of our country's civilization, society only recognizes two kinds of elites. One is political elites, and the other is cultural elites. Apart from working for foreigners and running a small business yourself, this is the real way out."

"Actually, your conditions are better than Huo Xin's. She can't go to the official career, so she can only try another way. If you want, I will be in charge of your contract with Pilkardon. I can arrange for you to go to the market first. Communication Department, wait until you get used to it. Then enter the Communication Department of the European Division."

"You are still very young, and your age and ability are your greatest advantages. With me, your work achievements will not be ignored. Didn't you complain to me just now about social injustice? Didn't you have no chance to choose? I am now I will give you such an opportunity. You have to seize it."
