At the symposium, the dispute between Jiang Zhe and Liu Jie caused some confusion.
Jiang Zhe is young, so he is not afraid of disputes and does not have the psychological burden of worrying about losing face.
Liu Jie was proud of his qualifications and reputation, and got into an argument with a young man, which caused him to lose even more face. However, he didn't know how to end the dispute.
The looks from everyone in the field made him feel uneasy.
For the first time, he felt regretful about this matter. Was it because of his wrong operation? But he was convinced that he was not wrong and it was the young man who did not know what was good for him.
"Leaders, what do you think of his attitude?" Helplessly, he could only hope that someone would stand up and smooth things over.
The people sitting in the main seats remained silent and turned their eyes to Director Song, who was the oldest and most experienced.
Facing the chaotic scene, Director Song said calmly with a smile: "You two should sit down, and everyone should be quiet."
The sound was not loud, but the surrounding area soon calmed down.
"I have heard your speeches. It is normal to have different opinions. Having different opinions helps us find problems." He said calmly, "Of course, we should not have disputes over loyalty when we discuss issues. Jiang Zhe is young, so don't get excited when encountering things. Liu Jie, we can also listen to other people's different opinions.
Someone had already told me about the dispute between the two people before I came here. "
Everyone concentrated and calmed down, thinking that the outcome might be revealed next.
"Before I came, the unit had reached a unanimous opinion. Now, let me tell you the opinion of our department.
Our department supports Jiang Zhe to participate in the exhibition. "
Liu Jie stared at Director Song and could hardly believe his ears.
Many people were also surprised.
Director Song seemed not to notice and continued, "The works that Jiang Zhe sent to the overseas exhibitions depicted a moment when people were celebrating a festival. They were positive and uplifting, and they talked about things around us. This is very good and is good publicity. As for whether this incident will have a bad impact, I think we should not jump to conclusions.
After all, it hasn't happened yet. There's no point speculating about something that hasn't happened yet."
He looked at Director Ma next to him.
Director Ma said: "Our department also supports Jiang Zhe to participate in the exhibition."
The two people's words almost formed a conclusion for the matter.
Jiang Zhe didn't expect these two people to talk like this. Thinking back, he didn't know them before this.
What the two said was completely beyond Liu Jie's expectations.
However, he reacted quickly and indicated that he had something to say.
Director Song saw that he was about to stand up, so he waved at him. "Sit down and talk, sit down and talk, don't be so nervous."
Liu Jie said: "After listening to Director Song and Director Ma, I realized that my understanding might be a bit one-sided. I firmly support the opinions of the relevant departments, but I reserve my personal views."
No one expected that he would turn so quickly.
The discussion continued, and the person who spoke next not only avoided the question, but also returned to talking about New Year's words.
At the end of the discussion, Director Song gave a summary.
After the meeting, Jiang Zhe estimated that what he had done today would not be well received by some people, so he simply stood up and left.
Many people looked at Jiang Zhe.
Today he is really famous.
Many people are planning to share today's excitement with some friends.
Teacher Wei also attended the discussion. He left with Jiang Zhe, and when he saw that no one was paying attention, he whispered, "Man, you were really manly today. Although it was a bit reckless, I don't like that person either."
Jiang Zhe said: "I am a little angry today, sorry to make you laugh."
"Young people should be bold and outspoken."
Director Song and his group were about to leave, and the staff greeted the people who had participated in the discussion to see them off together.
Everyone had to line up to see him off. Director Song came out, saw Jiang Zhe in the crowd, and took the initiative to shake hands with him.
"Today is our first meeting, and you have left a deep impression on us. Not only are you a good painter, but you also have good handwriting and eloquence."
"I'm a little excited today. Don't mind."
Director Song said to Jiang Zhe as they walked, "We support you to participate in the exhibition because we hope that you can promote our development through your works."
"Understood. I will do my best."
Director Ma didn't say anything, but just shook hands with Jiang Zhe.
Everyone sent the distinguished guest to the parking lot, and after seeing a few people get in their cars and leave, they went their separate ways.
Jiang Zhe still couldn't understand why these two people would help him. After thinking about it, he could only send a text message to Sister Liao to ask.
Sister Liao’s reply was very simple. I will ask for you as soon as possible.
It's also a coincidence.
Liu Jie rushed ahead of the farewell team. After the vehicles left, he turned and walked towards the venue, just walking in the opposite direction of Jiang Zhe.
The two looked at each other at the same time, no one spoke, and passed each other.
The person who supported Liu Jie looked at Jiang Zhe and left with Liu Jie.
Seeing this scene, everyone around had a playful smile on their faces.
Many people came over to say hello to Jiang Zhe, and some of them met him for the first time.
After the people who greeted him left, a man came over and shook hands with Jiang Zhe.
"My name is Ren Xi." The man was a little fat and not tall enough.
The man was very familiar with the guests. After a few pleasantries, he said, "I don't like Liu Jie either, so I want to warn you. He has a mean heart and likes to gossip. You better be careful."
"Thank you for reminding."
"By the way, do you know who that person next to him is? The one who helped him and said bad things about you?"
Jiang Zhe shook his head.
"That person is also a member of the association. He has always wanted to join Liu Jie's research institute. He also wants to be a director, so he has been trying to curry favor with Liu Jie."
"I see. Thanks for your advice." Jiang Zhe felt that this person was too enthusiastic.
"Let's keep in touch." When Ren Xi saw Teacher Wei coming over, he ended the conversation.
Teacher Wei walked up to Jiang Zhe and said, "Be careful of this man. He and Liu Jie have conflicts. Don't get involved in their affairs."
"Thank you for your reminder." Jiang Zhe said.
It turned out to be the case.
"Okay, go find Lao Qin right away. Lao Qin and the others are worried."
Jiang Zhe returned to the venue and saw Professor Qin and the others waiting for him, so he hurried over.
"Teacher Qin, Manager Wang, the discussion has ended. The guests have gone home."
"We all heard about it. You are really amazing. Why did you quarrel with that person in such an occasion?" Professor Qin said.
Jiang Zhe smiled and replied, "It's not that exaggerated. Who told you that? I just refuted him after he attacked me."
"I heard several people tell me the process," said Professor Qin.
Wang Zhen comforted Jiang Zhe: "Okay, it's already happened. There's no point in regretting it. However, there is a good thing. Many people are spreading this matter. No matter what, you are famous in the circle."
