Rebirth: A Life Without Regrets

  "It's either white or black, just go and take a look at the actual situation to know," said Mayor Wang Peiyuan, and this dispute was temporarily settled.

  Then, Mayor Wang Peiyuan's second inspection of Suqi Kindergarten was carried out in this context. This time the momentum was even greater, not only did Mayor Wang Peiyuan come, but also Zhao Bencong, Vice Mayor in charge of education and propaganda, Zhou Dacheng, Minister of Propaganda Department, Sun Zhengping, Director of Education Bureau, and a large group of media reporters, nearly ten cars, big and small, went all the way with great fanfare.

  Still, the main principals of district and town level institutions went to Su Qi border to welcome Mayor Wang and his party. After a brief exchange of pleasantries between the two teams, they merged together, making the team even larger. With police cars leading the way, they arrived at Su Qi Kindergarten without any obstacles.

  There were only Principal Chen and two or three teachers at the gate to greet us, while other teachers continued with their classes as usual. Everything in the kindergarten remained unchanged, and the children were not affected by the mayor's visit.

  Beforehand, Mayor Wang had specifically instructed that no one was allowed to affect the normal teaching of the kindergarten, so everyone just followed Principal Chen's lead, visiting this not-so-big kindergarten, or watching the children take classes through the doors and windows outside the classroom. Even if there were comments, they were made in hushed tones.

  After all, kids are kids. With such a large group of people suddenly appearing in the kindergarten, everyone was very curious, and while they were taking classes, their eyes would occasionally sneak a peek outside. However, after receiving warnings from the teacher, they quickly returned to normal. They thought to themselves: "What's so interesting about this? If we get punished for it and can't participate in outdoor activities, that would be a total loss."

  The visit this morning was indeed shocking, especially for those who have been here before. It's only been two months, and the changes in the kindergarten are really huge. This change is not about what has been renovated or added inside the kindergarten, but the spirit of the children, the eyes shining from their innocent eyes, making the whole kindergarten suddenly come alive.

  At noon, the district and township governments entertained Mayor Wang and his party at the largest local restaurant, Guo's Restaurant. Of course, this also included reporters from the media, as well as government staff members. They set up a total of ten tables. This is just how things are done in our country - welcoming and sending off guests is a key task for all government agencies. If you don't do it well, if you're slow to respond to any one person, who knows where they'll get stuck, find some trouble, and even if they can't drive you crazy, they can still make you feel sick.

  Because there was still work in the afternoon, the wine wasn't drunk much, but Mayor Wang Peiyuan specially had a drink with Leng Yunfei and Wu Bangqing, and intimately patted their shoulders, praising them as good comrades. This move was undoubtedly a signal, making everyone understand that Mayor Wang's big show this time was ostensibly for inspection, but actually to support the two of them.

  Since the report came out, Lang Yun and Wu Bangqing's days have been a bit difficult. Although the report was positive, there were too many negative comments. Adding to that, they had recently received praise from Mayor Wang and were in the spotlight for a while, which made some people jealous. Now, at this critical moment, they are being kicked when they're down and taken advantage of.

  In the officialdom, as long as they are not from the same faction, it is common for them to undermine and sabotage each other. Even leaders do not want to see their subordinates too united, which is not conducive to their control and balance of power.

  Leng Yun felt that he had done nothing wrong, his heart was clear and clean, but he couldn't stand the rumors and gossip of those who were jealous of him, it was really unbearable. As Wu Bangqing, a decision-maker who could determine the fate of others with just one word, there were countless people waiting to see him make a mistake, hoping that he would be punished soon, the pressure on him was not small either.

  For a time, undercurrents surged, others either pushed the waves or watched the wind direction, few stood firm with them, so that their work was also greatly affected.

  It's impossible to say that I'm not feeling uncomfortable and wronged. Now, with the strong support of Mayor Wang Peiyuan, I feel both excited and relieved, my whole body is trembling uncontrollably, even the wine in the cup in my hand spilled a lot onto my hand.

  At this moment, whether they like it or not, in the eyes of outsiders, they have already been labeled with a golden Wang-style label and become Mayor Wang Peiyuan's people.

  Today, the officials who accompanied Mayor Wang Peiyuan are mostly his confidants, but I didn't expect Wang Peiyuan to support Leng Yunyi and Wu Bangqing so openly. If something unexpected happens, it will directly damage Mayor Wang's image and shake the position he has worked hard to establish.

  Generally speaking, in official circles, unless it's a key department's key figure, leaders wouldn't be so attentive, risking the possibility of losing face to protect and support them. But Leng Yunqiao and Wu Bangqing, one is just a deputy district head, even with an additional hat as a municipal committee member, which is not that important, while the other is only a town head.

  However, since Mayor Wang has already made up his mind, he must have his own deep thoughts and considerations. These people can only firmly support him. Therefore, they are also very enthusiastic about the two of them. Leng Yunyi is fine, but Wu Bangqing is flattered and even stammers a bit when speaking.

  After finishing lunch and taking a short rest, the group of people returned to the kindergarten. By this time, it was almost 2:30 in the afternoon. The arrangement for the afternoon was to verify whether the outdoor activity education with cold ice had value, in order to determine whether the decision made by the kindergarten and local government to issue wages was correct.

  Actually, many people think that after Mayor Wang's clear attitude, the cold and harsh evaluation work is no longer important. Even if it's not optimistic, who dares to openly disagree with the mayor? However, since Mayor Wang is so enthusiastic, everyone can only follow him through the motions. The kindergarten side must have made sufficient preparations, and even if it's just a formality, it won't be too embarrassing, right? After all, others don't say much, but Mayor Wang's face will still be saved.

  But soon they overturned all sorts of conjectures, and the performances by Cold Blooded and the kindergarten kids shocked them. In fact, Xie Minghua had written about it in his report, but many people were unwilling to believe it, almost everyone thought it was a product of flattery, and that it was fake. Now that they have seen it with their own eyes, they deeply feel that what the newspaper originally thought was an exaggeration is actually less than half of the reality.

  The icy coldness that transcends age, the elegance of every move, the serious expression with lips bitten, the divine light flashing on the tender face like jade, and the tacit understanding between them and the children, as well as the children's heartfelt joy, the order in formation, and the childlike innocence during playtime, all infected and shocked every adult present, seemingly awakening the deep-seated memories of their own childhood, making them suddenly have an urge to play with the kids together.

  Is there really such a genius child in this world?

  On ordinary days, an hour may seem very long, but now, until the cold wind blows and all the children are gone, everyone realizes that this one hour has passed so quickly.

  Everyone fell silent, shocked and unsure of what to say.

  Although he had always known that Leng Bingxue helped the kindergarten with outdoor activities for an hour every day, this was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes. Even though he had already gotten used to Leng Bingxue's astonishing actions over the years and often accepted others' praise of his educational methods with a reddened face, he knew that these had nothing to do with him. But he was still shocked; he knew his son was excellent, but he never thought he would be so outstanding, just like a full moon on the fifteenth day, shining brightly enough to make all the fireflies lose their luster.

  Leng Yun was very excited and felt very proud. After the report came out, he was under a lot of pressure. Although on the surface he didn't say anything, in his heart he couldn't help but have some complaints about Leng Bing's coldness. After all, it was Leng Bing who had caused the trouble. But now, his heart was completely clear and sunny. With such a son, what more could he ask for? Even if he didn't become an official and went back home to farm, so what?

  Leng Bing Han was originally good-looking, with a chubby face and big, shiny eyes that made him very likable. With his outstanding performance just now, he left a deep impression on everyone's mind, touching the soft spot in their hearts, dissolving the original suspicions and doubts, making everyone involuntarily like him.

  Wang Peiyuan stood up and walked in front of Leng Yun'ai, with a smile all over his face: "Comrade Yun'ai, you have a good son!"

  Leng Yun couldn't help but feel delighted in her heart, but she said with a straight face: "Mayor, you're overpraising him. This son of mine has been strange and eccentric since he was young, can't be praised too much, or else he'll become even more arrogant."

  "Haha!" Wang Peiyuan laughed loudly: "The more eccentric and clever, the better! Children are like this, they have a spirit, and they will definitely make something of themselves in the future." After saying that, he felt a pang of pain and shook his head, saying: "Nowadays, many places have problems with education, it's all about following the book and mechanical patterns, which can't cultivate elites! Today, Little Leng Bingxue, a three-year-old child, taught us a profound lesson!"

  The Director of Education Bureau, Sun Zhengping, hastily and awkwardly said: "Mayor, it's because I haven't done a good job..."

  Wang Peiyuan waved his hand, interrupting Sun Zhengping's speech, saying: "This is not your fault, but Zhengping, in one's position, one should plan for the future. For the sake of our country's flowers and future, we still need to think carefully about how to do a better job, and not betray the trust that the Party and the people have placed in us. I see that this kindergarten principal is...". At this point, he suddenly forgot Chen's name, and his secretary Zheng Lei quietly reminded him: Principal Chen Jiahui.

  "Yes, Principal Chen Huiyuan, I think it's quite good," Wang Peiyuan continued with a serious tone: "Principal Chen has a unique vision, teaching methods are not limited to one style, daring to innovate, becoming the first to eat crabs, regardless of winning or losing, this spirit is commendable, and the courage is even more commendable. As you can see, everyone has seen it, the results are very remarkable!"

  Chen Yuan Chang was excited to tears, regardless of the original purpose, came up with such a smooth idea, reported it out, she received the most criticism and pressure, but now can get the mayor's affirmation is praise, it seems that everything is worth it.

  Others looked at her with completely different eyes. With the mayor's praise, her value soared a hundredfold. Would she still be content to be just a kindergarten principal?

  As expected, as soon as Mayor Wang finished speaking, Director Sun Zhengping of the Education Bureau immediately expressed his stance: "For an outstanding comrade like Chen Jiahui, we are also prepared to give her more responsibilities. We will convene a meeting immediately after returning and make sure to come up with a resolution as soon as possible, taking Su Qi Kindergarten as an opportunity to take our city's education work to the next level."

  Chen Yuan Chang was so happy that he almost fainted. In official circles, the term "add another burden" means to reuse and promote someone. With the personal statement of the Director of Education, what more could be asked for? It seems that after a lifetime of hard work, at 50 years old, he has finally reached the peak of his career.

  Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel grateful for her lucky star, Cold Ice, and even more so, admire her own decision-making.

  "It's been many years since the reform and opening-up, but some of our comrades' thinking is still rigid, stuck in their ways, rejecting new things and new ideas. Not only that, they also want to suppress and retaliate against them. They not only don't seek progress themselves, but also don't allow others to make progress, and are jealous of others' progress. I deeply abhor such a harmful person.

  Wang Peiyuan slammed his hand on the table and loudly asked: "For those who still hold such thoughts, if they do not liberate their minds, reform and start anew, and keep up with the pace of the Party's and the country's development, I will resolutely expel them from our ranks!"

  Under Wang Peiyuan's stern gaze, everyone lowered their heads and didn't dare to look him in the eye.

  Everyone understands that Mayor Wang is hitting everyone, and Mayor Wang is very dissatisfied with the criticism of Su Qi Kindergarten, Leng Bingxian, Leng Yunyao, and Wu Bangqing. These are all typical examples set by Mayor Wang. If you want to move them, isn't it just a matter of not getting along with Mayor Wang? Wang Peiyuan doesn't want to pursue anything here, he's just taking the opportunity to show his attitude. Mayor Wang has already said so much, if there are still people who don't know what's good for them and try to deceive Mayor Wang, then naturally Mayor Wang won't be polite to these people either.

  As a leader, it's not just about getting things done, but also about leveraging the situation. In front of so many journalists and officials, striking this pose might be more effective than working hard for three months.

  At this time, Leng Bing Han reluctantly walked over under the leadership of Chen Yuan Chang. If his old man wasn't there too, he would have known that Mayor Wang came down this time to support Leng Yun Yi and others. Of course, if it were ten years later, he might be very enthusiastic about such opportunities. After all, when you grow up and want to do something, it's also difficult without having a good relationship with the officials.

  But he is only three years old after all.

  When Leng Binghan arrived in front of them, Wang Peiyuan and the others stopped talking and turned their attention to Leng Binghan. Earlier, Leng Binghan's performance had shocked them too much, and everyone was full of curiosity about him.

  "Hello, Uncle Wang! Hello, everyone!" Before Principal Chen and Cold Yun could hint or introduce him, Cold Bing Han greeted everyone with great politeness. He specifically asked after Wang Pei Yuan without making others feel neglected. As he said hello, his big eyes looked at everyone with a lively spirit, allowing each person to meet his gaze, feeling as if Cold Bing Han's eyes were looking directly at them. The feeling was like a spring breeze on one's face, making people feel particularly close and warm.
