The provincial government's appointment notice for Hua Nianping was officially issued to Huaishang Listing and Enyuan Group as acting commissioner and part-time vice chairman.
According to the request of the province, Hua Nianping went to the provincial capital.
Several relevant leaders in the province met with Hua Nianping respectively, held appointment talks, and affirmed his performance in quelling the sudden major pollution accident at the Xinhua Pharmaceutical Factory and working in Huaishang for several days, praising his decisive style.
Very courageous.
Hua Nianping thought of the leader named Zhang Guizhi, who made a special trip to Huaishang last week with the purpose of announcing his appointment in person, but it turned out to be in vain because of his disappearance, so he went to visit again to review the reason.
Due to his own fault, Zhang Guizhi not only made his trip in vain, but also had to worry about his unknown whereabouts during those few days.
Zhang Guizhi was very polite and could not avoid praising Hua Nianping like several other major leaders in the province, and specifically told him that because Comrade Chang Qiutian, chairman of Enyuan Group, was not in good health, he had to work a lot
The heavy burden will fall on him alone, and he will be asked to discuss with Comrade Qiu Mingqing, the leader of the disciplinary inspection team, when encountering problems.
After Zhang Guizhi's reminder, Hua Nianping went to Chang Qiutian's home to visit his partner whom he had never met.
Chang Qiutian will be 60 years old in a few years, and he was serving as director of a certain department before going to Huaihuai City. He was transferred to the position of chairman because the province implemented territorial management of Enshi Group.
Hua Nianping saw that Chang Qiutian was indeed not in good health. When the two of them were talking, he kept rubbing his lower abdomen with his hands. Every part of his body seemed to be weak.
Chang Qiutian said that he already suffered from severe prostatitis, and this time he found a kidney problem. The doctor suspected it was uremia, and he planned to go to Shanghai for a detailed review in a few days.
In the evening, Chang Qiutian insisted on keeping Hua Nianping at home for dinner before allowing him to leave.
After staying in the provincial capital for more than two days, Hua Nianping returned to Huaishang on Friday afternoon.
When Director Yu Fei of the Mass Propaganda Department heard that Hua Nianping had returned from the provincial capital, he immediately rushed over to report to him. He said that a female reporter from Social Weekly came the day before yesterday and rushed to Huaishang from the capital to interview Qili.
Poisoning accident in Tangzhen.
Yu Fei also reported that because the female reporter was also the executive deputy editor-in-chief of the magazine, Huang Chunrong, the executive vice president, personally came forward to be interviewed and took the initiative to accompany her to Huazhou District to visit the Qilitang Town Nursing Home and the Xinhua Pharmaceutical Factory.
Hua Nianping immediately knew who the female reporter that Minister Yu was talking about was, and an indescribable feeling came to his heart.
Yu Fei said that it was strange that the female reporter's work in Huaishang had been completed, but she was not in a hurry to return to the capital. She said she wanted to wait for Commissioner Hua to meet him after he returned from the provincial capital.
Hua Nianping asked where the female reporter was at this time. Yu Fei said that she was staying at the Seven Degrees Hotel and had just called her room ten minutes ago.
Hua Nianping lit a cigarette and fell into deep thought.
He clearly thought that "Social Weekly" was an important publication of Beijing's core organs and had a guiding role. As Lin Sir's chief reporter and deputy editor-in-chief, the people she interviewed were often well-known people in the country, at least
She is a senior official at the provincial or ministerial level, and now she has taken the trouble to come to Huaishang, a little-known city. Although it is official, it cannot be ruled out that she traveled thousands of miles to take the opportunity to meet him.
When Yu Fei saw that Hua Nianping had been silent for a long time, he thought that he was very unwilling to be pestered by the female reporter who came to interview. He said that if Commissioner Hua really did not want to meet the female reporter, he would immediately tell her and lie to the commissioner
I am still working in the provincial capital, and I don’t know when I will be able to return to Enyuan Group.
Hua Nianping stopped Yu Fei and asked him to give him the room number of the female reporter at the Seven Degrees Hotel, saying that he would consider contacting her directly.
As soon as Yu Fei left, Hua Nianping immediately dialed the phone in Lin Sirer's room.
Lin Sirer asked on the phone: "Hello, who are you?"
This unusually familiar voice made Hua Nianping's vision blurred for a while, and the sadness in his heart filled his body along with his blood, making him unable to speak for a moment.
Lin Sirer asked: "Who is it? Please speak!"
Still no reply was heard on the phone.
Lin Sirer immediately guessed and said: "Is it Hua Nianping? Have you returned to Huaishang? It's you, Nianping! Even if you hold the microphone and don't open your mouth, I can tell it's you. Because
, no one is more familiar with your breath than me!"
Hua Nianping could not have imagined that after more than ten years of separation between the two, Lin Sirer's memory of him would still be so strong and profound, and a huge wave of heat suddenly filled his heart.
He paused, tried his best to calm down, and said, "It's me, Si'er, how are you? I'll see you right after get off work. Let's have dinner together tonight!"
Lin Sirer breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Come on, I've been waiting for you these two days!"
Half an hour later, Hua Nianping and Lin Sirer met at the Seven Degrees Hotel. When he arrived, she was already sitting quietly in a booth in the Western restaurant, waiting for him.
There were almost no customers in the restaurant. Hua Nianping felt that if Lin Sirer chose to meet here, it would not attract the attention of outsiders.
Hua Nianping sat down opposite Lin Sirer and asked her what she wanted to eat. Lin Sirer said Brazilian barbecue.
When she said this, she couldn't help but glance at Hua Nianping, because they both recalled that many years ago, Hong Fang and his boyfriend, Lieutenant Tao, invited the two of them to Xidan, the capital, to have a Brazilian barbecue together.
Hua Nianping recalled the sudden encounter with Lin Sirer at the door of the School of Economics of Peking University that day before Linlai Huai went public. The two of them had mixed feelings at the time, and neither of them bothered to pay serious attention to each other. There was no one else around at this time, and both of them spoke with eager expressions.
He stared at each other with extremely complicated emotions.
After the waiter came over, the two of them ordered what they wanted to eat.
Lin Sirer then caught a glimpse of a thin and small man coming in not far away.
The man had a monkey-pointed face. He asked the waiter for a cup of coffee and sat down two seats away from Hua Nianping. The seat he chose allowed him to clearly hear the conversation between Lin Sirer and Hua Nianping.
conversation.
Lin Sirer looked at the very elegant light gray thin coat on this man and thought of queuing up with him a few days ago to get on the train at Jingcheng West Station. However, she did not expect that this man also came to Huaishang, and now he
Lived in the same big hotel and stayed with her till now.
However, Lin Sirer, because all her thoughts were focused on Hua Nianping at this time, she just glanced at the thin man casually and didn't pay much attention to him.
Hua Nianping saw that Lin Sirer seemed to have carefully applied some light makeup today. Although more than ten years had passed, her expression was still as quiet and charming as when she first fell in love, and her fine eyebrows were still as delicate.
However, her original flowing long hair has been cut off and replaced with neck-length short hair. The original tiny freckles on both sides of her nose have faded away at some point, leaving some maturity left by the years on her face.
Lin Sirer also looked at Hua Nianping carefully.
She found that his changes over the years were beyond her imagination. Although his deep eyes were still bright and charming, the gaze he shot was a bit colder, and there were even more than a dozen gray hairs growing on his forehead, forming a long strand. It is conspicuous; his face is also thinner than it was more than ten years ago. In addition, when working in Xinjiang in recent years, he was exposed to the scorching sun on the plateau. His skin, which was originally very fine and white, has now become rough and dark, and his whole person looks He is many years older than his actual age.
