After talking to Fu Quying on the phone, Peng Yuanzheng felt confident. He made another call to Gong Hanlin, and then talked to Deputy County Magistrate Guo Weiquan and others. He also told Wang Hao that during his vacation, all work should be done.
It will be postponed until he comes back next week.
At noon, Peng Yuanzheng rushed to Xin'an City Railway Station and got on the train bound for the capital. He asked Huo Guangming to buy a hard sleeper. It was a four or five-hour drive. He wanted to take the opportunity to have a sleep in the car. He was too tired recently.
Didn't get a good rest.
"Comrade passengers, please be ready to board the 200 passenger express train bound for Beijing..."
Peng Yuanzheng carried a black briefcase that he carried with him, holding a stainless steel thermos water cup, and followed the huge flow of people to check tickets and entered the station. Not long after, the train came with a rumble. After he got on the train, he found a seat and lay down.
I became confused.
Suddenly, a familiar and trembling voice woke him up: "Peng Yuanzheng?!"
Peng Yuanzheng felt a thrill in his heart. Although he hadn't opened his eyes yet, he could still hear Cao Ying's voice.
He slowly opened his eyes and saw Cao Ying, whom he had not seen for a long time, standing in front of him carrying a grass-green travel bag and wearing a beige Nizi coat. After not seeing her for a long time, her beauty was still the same, just between her eyebrows and her eyes.
There is a hint of thinness that makes people feel haggard for Yi.
Behind her, stood a medium-sized man with glasses, about 27 or 27 years old, who was also carrying a luggage bag and was looking at Peng Yuanzheng carefully with some surprise.
Cao Ying's eyes were complicated, and the corners of her mouth were slightly trembling. After being strangers for so long, she had already closed her heart tightly. She originally thought she could completely drive Peng Yuanzheng's figure out of her heart, but she suddenly encountered him on the train.
——The emotional agitation at this moment broke her heart, and she found helplessly that all her efforts were in vain.
Peng Yuanzheng stood up gently, smiling bitterly in his heart but with a gentle smile on his lips, "Cao Ying? Such a coincidence? You are..."
Cao Ying said quietly: "I am going to the capital for a business trip for a meeting, are you going to the capital too?"
"Yeah. I'm going to the capital to do some personal business." Peng Yuanzheng smiled, "What a coincidence, I haven't seen you for a long time."
Cao Ying looked at her ticket and saw that it was right opposite Peng Yuanzheng's bunk, so she silently stuffed her luggage on the luggage rack. The man behind her quickly came forward to help.
Seeing Peng Yuanzheng looking at the two of them, Cao Ying subconsciously forced a smile and introduced: "This is the leader of my unit - Director Han, Director Han. This is my old classmate Peng Yuanzheng -"
Before Cao Ying finished speaking, the man smiled and reached out, "Is this County Magistrate Peng from the neighboring county? I, Han Guangping, the deputy director of the Municipal Education Bureau, have heard of Magistrate Peng's name for a long time. I don't want to
We met by chance in the car.”
Han Guangping spoke with a pure Beijing accent and had a deep voice. At first glance, he sounded somewhat similar to Su Yuhuan, the mayor of Xin'an District. Peng Yuanzheng was a little surprised. He also smiled and shook hands with Han Guangping and exchanged a few words.
Only then did he know that Cao Ying was no longer teaching at Xin'an No. 1 Middle School. Instead, she had been transferred to the Municipal Education Bureau. This time, she went to the capital with Han Guangping, the deputy director in charge, to participate in a nationwide seminar organized by the Ministry of Education.
meeting.
Peng Yuanzheng was not familiar with Han Guangping, but after a few words and Han Guangping's self-introduction, he realized that this person, like Su Yuhuan, was also a temporary cadre transferred from Beijing. He was temporarily attached.
In the Municipal Education Bureau, deputy director level cadre.
The train started moving slowly, and Peng Yuanzheng chatted with Han Guangping. But he had some complicated emotions in his heart. He could tell from Han Guangping's demeanor and voice towards Cao Ying that this person must be Cao Ying's suitor.
——It’s just that Cao Ying’s attitude seems unclear.
Of course, maybe he couldn't let it go in front of him. Peng Yuanzheng thought secretly.
Cao Ying maintained a strange silence, half-relying on the couch and flipping through a magazine, listening to the chat between Han Guangping and Peng Yuanzheng. Han Guangping's eyes flickered, and he felt sensitively that Cao Ying and Peng Yuanzheng were definitely
They have an extraordinary past, and judging from Cao Ying's "sad" attitude, she is probably a former lover...
"Why is County Magistrate Peng going to the capital..." Han Guangping asked with a smile.
"Haha, I'm dealing with some personal matters." Peng Yuanzheng replied casually.
"I'm from the capital, and I'm a landlord. My parents both work in national ministries. If County Magistrate Peng needs help with anything, just ask." Han Guangping smiled reservedly, "You and Cao Ying are old classmates, and we are the same
Comrades in the city, please don’t be polite!”
Peng Yuanzheng glanced at Han Guangping. He knew very well that although Han Guangping's words were somewhat polite, they were mainly to show off in front of Cao Ying and to show off in front of himself - this is a very subtle mentality.
Just like the male peacock who likes to spread its tail during the estrus period, Han Guangping, who pursues Cao Ying relentlessly, will naturally look for every opportunity and spare no effort to demonstrate his superiority as the son of a Beijing cadre.
Peng Yuanzheng smiled brightly and said casually, "Thank you. If you need help, you must ask Director Han for help."
Peng Yuanzheng knows these children of Beijing cadres from good families very well. They usually graduate from college and stay in state agencies for one or two years, and then find opportunities to be transferred to grassroots posts. They stay there for two or three years and then return to Beijing to prepare for their future.
Make good preparations for promotion.
If nothing else goes wrong, when they return to the central government agencies, they will basically be able to cross the threshold of the county and step into the ranks of department-level cadres. Of course, in the capital where officials are everywhere like chickens and dogs, the department-level cadre committee is really nothing.
.
In the current 1990s, these people have almost become an ethnic group and can be found all over the country. They have a natural sense of superiority as the children of Beijing and cadres. But this does not mean that they are all playboys. Some of them are still very talented.
For example, Su Yuhuan, for example, although Peng Yuanzheng never dealt with him, Peng Yuanzheng could not deny that besides being narrow-minded, intolerant, and too proud, this person was not without merit.
At the very least, he still has his own way of doing work. After Peng Yuanzheng left Xin'an District, Su Yuhuan gradually began to exert his role and personal abilities, and also achieved some results. People's abilities vary, and Su Yuhuan is
He was always at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Peng Yuanzheng, but this did not mean that he was incompetent. It was just that Peng Yuanzheng was better and more skillful than him. In the "comparison" between the two, he could easily fall into Peng Yuanzheng's personal glory.
You can't extricate yourself from it.
In Peng Yuanzheng's view, people like Su Yuhuan are actually much better than Gong Hanlin and others. In terms of work ability, Gong Hanlin is mediocre at best, while Su Yuhuan is outstanding.
…
Han Guangping chuckled and suddenly asked intentionally or unintentionally: "County Magistrate Peng, I heard that you are married. Where do your siblings work?"
As Han Guangping spoke, he noticed from the corner of his eye that Cao Ying's smile on the lower bunk visibly froze, and she turned her head sadly, her shoulders trembling slightly. Peng Yuanzheng was getting married in Xin'an to entertain guests. He is the nephew of Executive Vice Mayor Meng Qiang.
, these are certainly no secrets. Cao Dapeng also sent people to neighboring counties to prepare to join him, but Peng Yuanzheng did not accept the red envelope and did not send it to him.
Peng Yuanzheng's mouth twitched, but he said calmly, "She works in the capital, in an enterprise, a small private company. I guess Director Han has never heard of her."
"Oh, the company is actually not bad. It's not easy to say that County Magistrate Peng lives in two places separately..." Han Guangping pretended to be emotional and added: "Actually, I envy Magistrate Peng because he is married and has a family.
I have found my other half, like me, it has been five or six years since I graduated from college, and I still don’t have a clue... ugh!"
Peng Yuanzheng smiled lightly and did not answer.
Cao Ying suddenly sat up, put on her shoes and walked to the bathroom at the end of the carriage. Han Guangping's intentional "teasing" was not to stimulate her, but to hint to her that the man you have been obsessed with is already married and you should have died long ago.
Got it!
But when these words were heard in Cao Ying's ears, they were like the blade of a knife cutting into her heart, which was not very hard in the first place.
Peng Yuanzheng frowned, grabbed the water glass tightly with his hand, and took a sip of water.
Cao Ying's figure was lonely and swaying slightly as the train swayed. Suddenly, the train made a sharp loud noise and a clang, and suddenly began to make an emergency stop. Some of the luggage on the luggage racks in the entire carriage fell to the ground, and
All kinds of screams and shouts suddenly came from the carriage.
Cao Ying was caught off guard, her thin body staggered a few times, and she fell to the floor of the carriage.
Peng Yuanzheng was startled and immediately stood up and ran over to help her up.
"It doesn't matter to you, right?"
Cao Ying gritted her teeth and said softly: "It's okay, thank you."
At this time, the hard-seat carriage in front made a loud banging noise. A conductor appeared at the junction of the carriages and shouted with a loudspeaker: "Comrade passengers, please don't panic. There is an emergency ahead. The train has to brake urgently.
Please everyone return to your seats and pay attention to safety."
Immediately afterwards, the doors of each carriage opened, and several police officers and conductors jumped out. Many passengers opened the windows and looked up, but there was no one on the empty track. This place was in the wilderness, and it was far away from the station in front.
.
After waiting for a while, some uneasy passengers asked to get off for some fresh air, but the conductor disagreed, and the two sides started to argue. After arguing for a long time, the conductor finally gave in and allowed the passengers to get off but not to go far, and to get on at any time when instructed.
The car leaves.
Peng Yuanzheng raised his wrist and looked at his watch and saw that it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon. According to this situation, the train would definitely be delayed.
Any fool knows that something must have gone wrong, but no one knows exactly what happened. Many passengers surrounded the conductor and asked, but the conductor could not tell the specific reason.
The locomotive at the front began to whistle sharply. Under the greeting of the conductor, the passengers who got off the train quickly got on the train and closed the doors tightly, but still did not drive.
