Chapter 2715

On the way to Baozhou City, Zhao Yichen, Deputy Minister of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department, had told Su Xinghui about some leading cadres in the Baozhou Municipal Government and implicitly mentioned their backgrounds, including this Xin Jing. It was said that this Xin Jing had a certain relationship with a vice governor in the province.

Of course, Zhao Yichen didn't say what the specific relationship was. After all, the driver was present, so he could only speak implicitly. Anyway, Xin Jing's official career had always been smooth. Before coming to Baozhou, she was a division chief of the Provincial Youth League Committee, and then she was transferred directly to Baozhou to be the vice mayor. She had been the vice mayor for about a year.

After the mayor's office meeting, Su Xinghui had just returned to the office for a few minutes when Bian Shuangxi came. He sent over some materials related to Su Xinghui's assigned work, which made Su Xinghui very satisfied. Bian Shuangxi was indeed very careful.

He really needed these materials now. He had to understand all the work he was in charge of to carry out his work better.

Su Xinghui thanked Bian Shuangxi, and Bian Shuangxi went out. Su Xinghui read the materials in his office.

While reading the materials, his door was knocked again. Su Xinghui said "Please come in." The door was pushed open, and Xia Song brought in a middle-aged man of about fifty. The middle-aged man bowed slightly, with a smile on his face, and called "Vice Mayor Su."

Xia Song said, "Vice Mayor Su, this is Director Luo of the Municipal Education Bureau. He is here to report his work to you."

Xia Song had now officially become the deputy section chief of the Fourth Section of the Municipal Government Office, with a section-level rank. He was specifically serving Su Xinghui's government activities, which was effectively Su Xinghui's secretary.

Su Xinghui knew that this Director Luo was named Luo Guoxiu and was the director of the Municipal Education Bureau, which was exactly what he was in charge of. However, the mayor's office meeting had just ended, and he came to report his work. This news was really well-informed.

Su Xinghui nodded slightly and said, "Director Luo, sit down."

Luo Guoxiu hurriedly took a few steps and sat on a chair in front of Su Xinghui's desk. He didn't dare to sit fully, only sitting on half of the chair, his body leaning forward slightly, making a look of being ready to listen to Vice Mayor Su's teachings at any time.

Xia Song made a cup of tea for Luo Guoxiu and placed it on the coffee table next to him. Luo Guoxiu hurriedly stood up slightly and smiled, "Thank you, Section Chief Xia, I really don't deserve this."

Xia Song said, "This is what I should do."

After speaking, Xia Song went out.

Luo Guoxiu was quite restless. He said with a fawning smile, "Vice Mayor Su, as soon as I heard that our education work would be assigned to you in the future, I was very excited. Vice Mayor Su is so capable, having worked in the Planning Commission before. In the future, our education work will definitely flourish."

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "Does this mean that Vice Mayor Xin was not capable before?"

Luo Guoxiu was stunned. He hurriedly said, "Vice Mayor Su, I didn't mean that. I mean, you are more capable..."

Speaking of this, Luo Guoxiu was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks. He didn't know what to say to round off this statement. If he said Su Xinghui was not capable, he would offend Su Xinghui on the spot. But if he let him say Xin Jing was not capable, he didn't dare, as she was also a vice mayor.

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "Okay, no need to say any more, I understand what you mean."

Luo Guoxiu was relieved and said, "Vice Mayor Su is really understanding."

Su Xinghui said, "I just looked at some materials about the education sector in Baozhou City. The situation in the education sector in Baozhou City seems to be not very good?"

Luo Guoxiu was sweating profusely again. He said, "Vice Mayor Su, we really have done some things poorly in our work, so many things have not been done well. I want to make a self-criticism to you!"

Luo Guoxiu was indeed a bit panicked. This new mayor seemed to be a bit unconventional. He had just set the assigned work, and he came to find problems? Was this the "three fires" of a new official? Luo Guoxiu didn't want to be a victim of Su Xinghui's three fires.

Since the leader questioned their education work, the best way was not to defend, but to admit mistakes. This was the only way for subordinates to face their superiors, because leaders rarely like subordinates to defend themselves in front of them. They would think that it was all sophistry and would have a worse impression of their subordinates.

Admitting mistakes was different. Admitting mistakes would make the leader think that his attitude was good. As for the problems in work, what was the big deal? Where was there work that didn't make mistakes?

Su Xinghui didn't speak. He glanced at Luo Guoxiu and leaned back in his chair.

Luo Guoxiu felt uncomfortable being looked at by Su Xinghui, which made him secretly shocked. This young vice mayor's eyes were really sharp. It looked like he was a tough character.

Luo Guoxiu really started to make a self-criticism to Su Xinghui. Speaking of which, the education work in Baozhou City was indeed not done very well. There were only a few colleges and universities in Baozhou City, and the situation of primary and secondary schools in various counties and districts was not optimistic. Many school buildings were in disrepair, and the loss of teaching staff was also very serious.

This situation was mainly caused by insufficient investment in education in Baozhou City. Baozhou City's economy was not developed, which also affected Baozhou City's education cause.

Now, the investment in primary and secondary schools in Baozhou City was insufficient, which left many primary and secondary schools, especially those in mountainous areas, without money to repair school buildings, and teachers' salaries were often not paid, which left many teachers unable to stay and left Baozhou.

Now there were more and more private schools in the south. As long as there were capable teachers, they didn't have to worry about not finding work in the south, and the salaries were several times higher than here. Who wouldn't want to go to the south to find work?

Therefore, the root cause of the current situation of education work in Baozhou City was also the underdeveloped economy. To be honest, it didn't have much to do with Luo Guoxiu. In fact, Luo Guoxiu had only been the director of the Baozhou Education Bureau for more than two years, but this situation in the education sector in Baozhou City had lasted for many years.

Of course, Luo Guoxiu still didn't defend himself. His self-criticism was very objective, and he also said a lot of his own problems. The attitude was still very sincere.

After all, he had been working for more than thirty years, and he had made such self-criticisms countless times. His experience could be considered very rich, and he also knew how to say it so that his attitude would be considered sincere and make the leader satisfied.
