Chapter 1286: Attending a party, lecturer assessment
When Su Mingzhe got home from get off work and walked to the middle courtyard, he was stopped by Han Chunming:
"Brother-in-law, Dazhi came over today and said there was a gathering of educated youths and he invited us all to come!"

Dazhi, whose full name is Guo Zhifei, was a high school classmate of Han Chunming and Su Mingzhe, and they also served as educated youth together.

When Su Mingzhe heard that it was a gathering of educated youth, he immediately replied:

"I'm very busy with work lately, so I don't have time. Please say hello to everyone on my behalf!"

Su Mingzhe has no interest in reunions of educated youth, but that doesn't mean he suffered a lot when he was an educated youth.

On the contrary, when he was an educated youth, he was well taken care of by his classmates and fellow villagers because of his handsome appearance and weak physique.

But this "care" is just "care".

Because of family problems, most people keep their distance from Su Mingzhe.

In particular, many beautiful female educated youth originally liked me very much, but as soon as they heard about the Su family, they immediately hid away from me.

So, during the years that Su Mingzhe spent in the countryside, he only made a few friends, and they were only friends he could talk to.

I didn't suffer much, but there was nothing to miss either.

"Don't bother me!"

Seeing Su Mingzhe refuse, Han Chunming quickly stood up and advised:

"Brother-in-law, there are quite a lot of people here this time. Guess who hosted this party?"

Su Mingzhe sneered:
“Who organized it?”

For him, none of those educated youth had a deep friendship with him.

"Look, it's written on the invitation: Secretary Yang's name - Yang Xinghe!"

When Su Mingzhe took the invitation and looked at it, he immediately felt embarrassed to refuse.

When the educated youth went to the countryside, those with connections could apply to be assigned to places closer to the capital, such as the suburbs of Beijing.

Those who had no connections or had bad identities would be sent to places further away, some to the Great Northern Wilderness, some to the Northwest, and some to the Southwest.

People like Su Mingzhe, an only child and orphan, were not required to go to the countryside as educated youth, but they were still forced to sign up.

Fortunately, I was finally assigned to the suburbs of Beijing - Xiaoqinghe Township, Fangshan County.

Fangshan County is indeed very close to the capital, the best place in the world, but in those days, it was basically difficult to get enough food in the rural areas.

What's more, Fangshan County is mountainous and has little land, and is a poverty-stricken area.

Everyone has to rely on their family for support to barely get by.

During this period, Su Mingzhe, an orphan, received a lot of help from Secretary Yang.

Therefore, when Su Mingzhe learned that Secretary Yang was one of the conveners of the party, he really couldn't say no.

After calming down, Su Mingzhe put down the invitation and asked:

"Who else is attending this gathering of educated youth?"

Han Chunming thought for a moment and said:
"When Dazhi came to deliver the invitations today, he said that the party was actually organized by Yang Huajian, and Bao Tudi provided the venue... As for who was invited, as far as I know, basically everyone in the city has been invited."

There were nearly a thousand educated youth who went to Fangshan County that year, of whom eighty or ninety were assigned to Xiaoqinghe Township.

Among these eighty or ninety people, except for a dozen from other places, the remaining seventy or so are all from the capital.

Su Mingzhe recalled the plot. In the TV series, it seemed that the educated youth attending the party filled seven or eight tables, with nearly sixty people.

According to this calculation, about 90% of the educated youth will come.

"Okay, I'll take a leave then!"

On the second day.

When Su Mingzhe arrived at the office, Cai Xiaoli, who had arrived at work half an hour early, had already prepared the tea.

"Master, your tea!"

Cai Xiaoli imitated the postures she learned from the movies, twisted her slim waist and walked to the man, handed him the tea, and took the briefcase.

Seeing that she was learning in a weird way, Su Mingzhe suppressed his laughter and said with a faint smile:

"what is it today?"

Cai Xiaoli blinked her charming eyes and smiled coquettishly: "Someone came to my house yesterday to deliver an invitation to the educated youth gathering. You got one too, right?"

"Not only do I have it, Han Chunming also has it!"

When Su Mingzhe heard this, he guessed what Cai Xiaoli wanted to say and interrupted her with just one sentence.

"I don't care, I want you to go with me!"

Having been a secret lover of a man for two years, Cai Xiaoli had long wanted to take things a step further, and in her opinion, this gathering of educated youth was a good opportunity.

"You can go to the party together, but don't cause any trouble!"

Su Mingzhe thought about it and decided to fulfill Cai Xiaoli's little wish.

With her own tutoring, Cai Xiaoli would be able to get into a university as long as she maintained her normal performance level.

Once she becomes a college student, it will take at least four or five years before she can do anything.

Four or five years is enough for Su Mingzhe to settle the relationship between Han Chunyan and Cai Xiaoli.

Cai Xiaoli didn’t know what the man was thinking, she just felt that she had taken a big step towards her goal, so she excitedly jumped on the man and asked for a kiss.

"Stop it, I have to go to a meeting soon!"

Su Mingzhe was furious with the woman, but he had to pat Mi Tao and ask her to behave herself.

"Then wait for you to come back!"

Cai Xiaoli is now like a clingy snake, who can't wait to stick to men and not get off.

After comforting his lover, Su Mingzhe packed up the documents for the meeting and decided to go to the meeting room early.

As a result, before he could move, the phone on the desk rang.

"Hello, this is the Publicity Department!"

"Great writer, it's me!"

Wu Yue's voice came from the receiver. After saying hello, she excitedly said:
"The conditions you proposed yesterday have been approved by the higher-ups. The leader said that starting from next Monday, the ministry will hold a university lecturer study week at Yan University. I have already registered you. As long as you pass the study and assessment, you can become a formal university lecturer. As for which school you go to, it depends on your own ability."

"Okay, thank you!"

Su Mingzhe and Wu Yue hung up the phone, calmed down, thought about it, took out a leave application, wrote one quickly, and walked towards the factory director's office.

As the propaganda department, it is generally under the management of the factory secretary.

However, the secretary is too busy, studying the spirit all day long.

Nowadays, all matters big and small within the factory are basically handed over to the factory director to handle.

The factory manager took the leave application from Su Mingzhe and did not stop him after learning the detailed reason.

As the saying goes, people go to high places and water flows to low places.

Su Mingzhe is not the secretary or the factory director's man.

Now that Su Mingzhe wants to be transferred, neither the factory director nor the secretary will stop him, and will even happily see him off.

After receiving the leave application, Su Mingzhe returned to the Propaganda Department, called all his subordinates together, and explained the situation to everyone:
"I won't be here next week, so the Propaganda Department will be handed over to Lao Zhang. Lao Zhang, I've just told the factory director that if there's anything going on in our office, you need to be more diligent and report it to the factory director!"

"Don't worry, Director. I will definitely protect this home for you!"

Old Zhang is an old man in the Propaganda Department. He is over 40 years old and has not been promoted yet. It is not because of his incompetence but because of his lack of initiative.

During the few months that Su Mingzhe had been the director, he had gotten along well with him and might as well give him a push.

But whether Mr. Zhang can seize the opportunity depends on his own luck.

After the meeting, Su Mingzhe returned to his office and told Cai Xiaoli the story again.

Cai Xiaoli was going to take the college entrance examination, and she was very happy that her man was going to be a university lecturer.

In her opinion, as Su Mingzhe's status becomes higher and higher, Han Chunyan, who has become a "yellow-faced woman", will become less and less worthy of a man.

Once she graduates from college, she will be able to easily replace him.
