Chapter 4072: Must Go and See

Weng Jingyao said, "That is what he dreams of."

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "The situation of the other several key laboratories at Linshan University is also quite good now, right?"

Weng Jingyao said, "Yes, the construction situation of those several key laboratories is also quite good now, and the progress is very smooth."

Weng Jingyao reported the construction situation of several provincial and municipal key laboratories at Linshan University to Su Xinghui. These were his achievements, so of course he knew them very clearly. He had also been to Linshan University several times, and these things were already familiar to him.

Su Xinghui said, "Alright, when you have time, let's go to Linshan University to see. I want to see what Old Xie has turned Linshan University into now."

Weng Jingyao nodded and said, "That's great. If you go to Linshan University, Old Xie will certainly be so happy that he won't know what to do."

Su Xinghui said, "What about the other schools in Linshan? The city also allocated quite a lot of funds to them this year. How is their situation now?"

This year, the Linshan Municipal Government did allocate quite a lot of funds to other vocational high schools, technical schools, secondary specialized schools, and junior colleges in the city, letting them build the schools. Not only in hardware but also in software, they had to build them, letting these schools in Linshan City be fully upgraded.

This was also to respond to the spirit of the Central Government, better play the role of these vocational high schools and junior colleges, improve the status of students in these vocational high schools and technical schools, and let them learn more things and better technology. This was very important for promoting the overall development of China's manufacturing industry. Therefore, Su Xinghui also attached great importance to this, even no less than his importance to Linshan University.

The main problem with these schools in the past was that no one attached importance to them, regarding these schools as dispensable places. Only students who really couldn't get into university would go to these schools. Therefore, the source of students for the schools was very poor.

And the government's appropriation for these schools was not enough, making their teaching conditions relatively poor, their teaching staff relatively weak, and the school management relatively loose. How could they cultivate good students like this?

This was actually caused by the whole society's discrimination against workers. Such long-term discrimination made people hope that their children would get into university, become white-collar workers, and engage in industries such as IT and finance. These industries sounded decent and had high incomes. If one became a "broken" worker, it wouldn't sound decent at all, and one would work hard to death, and the salary wouldn't be as high as those white-collar workers in IT and finance.

Once upon a time, how noble a profession was a worker? The whole society respected workers very much and called workers "old big brother." But when did the status of workers become so low?

Su Xinghui hoped to change this situation as soon as possible. If it were in his previous life, such a situation would be difficult to change. But in China in this life, great changes had also taken place, and there was still great hope for changing the situation of low status for workers.

Weng Jingyao said, "Their situation is also quite good. During this period, I have been to almost every school several times, and I know their situation very well."

Su Xinghui looked at today's date and said, "How about this, Old Weng, I'm not very busy in two days. Let's go to a school to see then."

Weng Jingyao was of course happy. If Su Xinghui went to the school to see, he was looking at his achievements. He quickly said, "Then which school do you want to go to see?"

Su Xinghui thought for a while and said, "Then let's go to Linshan Vocational and Technical College."

Linshan Vocational and Technical College, as the name suggests, is a technical school. The students recruited by this school all learn professional skills needed by factories, such as machinery, electronics, computers, electricians, and various practical technologies.

In the past, Linshan Vocational and Technical College was not valued by Linshan City and was considered a "wild chicken" school. The school style of this school in the past was very poor and was famous throughout Linshan City. The students recruited here were all poor students from various high schools. They didn't have any good study habits when they were in high school, and when they arrived at this technical school with a very poor school style, they naturally became even more degenerate.

The students here not only had a poor school style but also became infected with many bad habits. Many social youths liked to go to the Vocational and Technical College to flirt with the girls there and often had fights with some boys there. The boys there were naturally not "vegetarian" either; they were very united and didn't fear death when fighting. Therefore, the public security in the area of the Vocational and Technical College was also very poor.

Of course, in the last two or three years, the Linshan Public Security Bureau had vigorously rectified public security, so the public security in the area of the Vocational and Technical College had improved a lot. But the bad habits of the students could not be changed. After all, public security personnel were not teachers; they could only catch bad people but could not directly go to educate those students to learn well. The heavy responsibility of educating them still rested on the teachers.

However, the quality of teachers at the Vocational and Technical College was also not very high. They were not valued in the first place and just regarded this profession as a job to support their families. How could they spend too much effort?

It was not denied that there were some teachers at the Vocational and Technical College who still wanted to do this job well and teach the students well. But the cruel reality made their dreams shatter, and in the end, they could only let the students go their own way.

Some teachers had been beaten by students when disciplining them, and in the end, the school couldn't give any explanation, so they could only "mix mud." How could these teachers dare to discipline the students again? In the end, this was just a job, and they were just ordinary people.

All of this made Linshan Vocational and Technical College a very poor school. Not to mention that it couldn't be ranked in the country, even in the province, not many people had heard its name. Only local Linshan people would apply for this school.

In the previous two or three years, Su Xinghui didn't have the energy to manage these schools. However, this year, in order to respond to the spirit of the Central Government and revitalize the national manufacturing industry, he also set his sights on these schools. He prepared to rectify these schools well and let these schools truly play their role.

Since Linshan Vocational and Technical College was a school famous for its poor school style in Linshan in the past, Su Xinghui wanted to go and see if the current Linshan Vocational and Technical College had improved as Weng Jingyao said.

Weng Jingyao nodded and said, "Alright, then let's go to the Vocational and Technical College."

In fact, hearing Su Xinghui mention the name Linshan Vocational and Technical College, Weng Jingyao still felt a bit empty in his heart. He also knew that the school style of Linshan Vocational and Technical College was very poor in the past, which was famous throughout the city. Although he had been there twice this year, he also knew that when leaders inspected, the school always had ways to make the students look decent. As for what it was actually like, he really didn't have any bottom in his heart.

If Su Xinghui went there and suddenly saw that Linshan Vocational and Technical College had no improvement, then Weng Jingyao originally wanted Su Xinghui to see achievements, but he let him see the mistakes he made, which would be troublesome.

However, since Su Xinghui had already proposed to go to Linshan Vocational and Technical College, Weng Jingyao had no choice but to nod and agree.

After coming out of Su Xinghui's office, Weng Jingyao hurried to Linshan Vocational and Technical College, found their president Zhang Shouye, and told Zhang Shouye that Su Xinghui was coming to Linshan Vocational and Technical College for inspection.

Upon hearing this news, Zhang Shouye was also very nervous. Of course, he also had some expectations. This was the common psychology of all officials in the system. They were afraid that leaders would see their work mistakes and hoped that their achievements would be seen by leaders. In short, they were anxious about gains and losses.

Precisely because of this, all officials were accustomed to whitewashing peace, turning one point of achievement into ten points, and turning ten points of error into at most one point, just to cope with the inspection of leaders.

Zhang Shouye had been the president of Linshan Vocational and Technical College for several years. In the past, this place was a place that "grandma didn't love and grandpa didn't love," almost a corner forgotten by city leaders. Their funding was not much, but there were many things, and all kinds of messy things emerged one after another.

Zhang Shouye almost doubted whether he had done anything that angered heaven and people in his previous life, which made him become this president. However, since he was this president, he had no ability to transfer, so he could only resign himself to his fate.

But this year, with the change of national policy, Linshan City increased its emphasis on these vocational and technical colleges, increased their funding, gave many policies, and increased their autonomy, improving the treatment of teachers. This made Zhang Shouye come alive all of a sudden, and he was full of hope.

This year, Zhang Shouye did do a lot of things. Things in the world are like this: as long as there is money and power, many things can be done well. The key is whether you attach importance to it or not.
