On the afternoon of January 29, 2003, an Audi car drove smoothly on Chang'an Avenue in Beijing.An old man in the back seat of the car looked out the window, it was 27 months old, and the city of Beijing was full of joy."
What a good year!"
The old man sighed involuntarily.The secretary of the co-pilot in the front row made a joke: "It's rare to praise the Sports Bureau and praise you." ”Yuan Weimin smiled, Chinese football has not improved in the past few years, and he, the head of the company, is under a lot of pressure.Ordinary fans can't scold him, but if they can scold him, no matter how ugly or wronged, he has to listen.That's it for sports, grades are everything, and you have no reason to shirk it.Fortunately, Chinese football has finally improved a little, and he has completed the task assigned by the state.In the words of the first major sport: finally assume the national responsibility, national responsibility, and social responsibility that the first major sports project should have.Seeing that the car was about to drive into the compound of the Sports Committee, Yuan Weimin suddenly frowned.Today is the last collective office meeting of the year ago, and the leaders praised them by name, of course, they are in a good mood, but some things may be overlooked.For example, why did Minister Tang and Minister Sun come over to say "thank you"?
At the time, I thought it was just polite, but now that I think about it, something is wrong.The good results of the national football team are completely the work that they should share, and they have a Ministry of Foreign Affairs and a Ministry of Culture, and they came here on this occasion, which is unusual in itself.Yuan Weimin does not believe that the two ministers expressed their gratitude for personal reasons, although they may also watch the football and are fans."
Xiao Liu, what do you mean by Minister Tang and Minister Sun?"
Xiao Liu's face became serious, and he thought hard: "Director Yuan, we don't have any major arrangements for overseas visits or competitions recently, and even if there are, they are nothing special from previous years."
Especially in football, it's even less so.The most important competitions of this year are the National Olympic Qualifiers in the middle of the year, and the World Youth Championships and World Junior Championships in the third quarter.But the last two months have really not been a big deal.I was at the venue, but I never figured it out, so why don't I go back and ask later?
”"Hmm."
Yuan Weimin agreed, closed his eyes and thought.Back in the office, Yuan Weimin put on reading glasses and read the last few unprocessed documents at hand, one of which was a report on the application for an increase in the cost of the ice and snow project.As soon as he saw this, Yuan Weimin's mood was even better, and Wang Ai's memories of talking nonsense at the commendation meeting a month ago came alive again.He was indeed very iron-blooded when he coached the women's volleyball team, but he was not rigid, he knew that "seriousness" and "liveliness" were indispensable.Especially in recent years, he has become older and older, and his personality has become more and more lenient, and he has become more and more tolerant of naughty and mischievous people like Wang Ai.Of course, the premise is that you have good grades and can't go out of bounds yet.For example, Wang Ai's impromptu speech this time can be regarded as a manifestation of "liveliness", and Zhang Mu for the Winter Olympics shows his open-mindedness, he didn't ask for anything for football, but to support the ice and snow events that can't be beaten by eight poles.So it's "out of line" but not "out of bounds", and its purpose is good, so you can laugh it off.Looking at the documents, the door opened quietly, and Xiao Liu probed his brain.I've been with him for three or four years, and I'm like a family in private."
Director Yuan, good news!"
Xiao Liu happily hugged two piles of things."
Hmm."
Yuan Weimin agreed, and continued to look down at the documents.After about twenty minutes, I finally finished the final work before I looked up and took a sip of the tea that Xiao Liu Gang had filled up."
Tell me, what's the good thing?""
Hehe, that's a real bonus.First of all, this is a letter of thanks from the Department of Foreign Culture of the Ministry of Culture and the Department of European Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to our Sports Bureau.This is the first time I've seen such a formal letter of thanks from one ministry to another.It turned out to be a red-headed one. ”"You kid!"
Yuan Weimin smiled and pointed at Xiao Liu: "Don't talk about you, I haven't seen much, take a look." ”Yuan Weimin opened the letter from the Ministry of Culture, which read: "The General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China: Since December 2002, the 'German Tour of Chinese Culture' organized by the Ministry of Culture and led by football player Wang Ai has been a complete success, with a total of 200,000 visitors, which has effectively promoted the spread of Chinese culture in Germany, achieved good results, and has been well received by all walks of life in Germany.I would like to express my gratitude to the Sports Bureau and the Football Sports Management Center, and praise Wang Ai.It is hoped that the Sports Bureau, Wang Ai and more athletes and coaches in foreign countries can actively exert their influence in their respective fields, take the initiative to undertake the glorious mission of spreading Chinese culture to the outside world, be an unknown ambassador of Chinese culture, and contribute to the prosperity and development of the motherland's culture.Ministry of Culture of the People's Republic of China: January 28, 2003 "What else is going on?
”Yuan Weimin muttered in a low voice and opened another document."
General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China: In an exclusive interview with RTL TV in Germany in mid-December 2002, Wang Ai, an athlete from your bureau, refuted many erroneous perceptions of me in German society and publicized many correct concepts, and achieved good results after reporting.At the invitation and introduction of Wang Ai, the senior host of RTL TV, Zoneborn, and the film team made a special trip to visit China.On January 15, 2003, the four-part feature film "Saints of the Far East" was broadcast in the evening prime time.I would like to express my special gratitude to the Sports Bureau and its subordinate organizations and commend Wang Ai.In addition, foreign affairs work is related to the image of the country, international cooperation, and the overall situation of the country, although Wang Ai's move was not approved by our ministry and our company, but with his positive personal image, broad and profound cultural level, rigorous and sharp debating skills, he used the topic to play and achieved positive results.We hope to make persistent efforts, and actively apply with our department and our company, and our department and our company will give strong support.Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China: 28 January 2003. ”After a long time, Yuan Weimin put down these two "thank you letters" stamped with big red seals, and he didn't worry about picking them up and reading them twice.When I finally put it down, I was speechless for a while.I said that I was very kind when I was praised today, and I said why did the two ministers come over to say thank you, it turned out that the heel was here."
Go, call this kid to me!"
Yuan Weimin was furious: "If such a big thing is done, other departments are clear, so they hide it from me, is he still under my control?"
I don't think he wants to eat this bowl of rice anymore!
