Unexpectedly, Lin Si'er has now become an unfortunate single woman.

Hua Nianping looked dazed, and suddenly remembered President Jiao's advice when he parted with him at the elevator entrance.

He instinctively looked forward and backward for a while, as if he was afraid of being passed by an acquaintance, and suddenly noticed that he and Lin Si'er had met unexpectedly here.

The afternoon haze has dissipated a lot more than in the morning, and the vision has become clearer.

More than ten meters away, Hua Nianping saw a very thin man standing on the side of the newspaper column, facing away from them, with a monkey's pointed face facing the glass window, as if he was concentrating on reading the newspaper.

This person wears skinny jeans and a light gray casual light jacket. Usually, only southerners wear such clothes in winter, and Hua Nianping has obviously never seen him.

There was no one else nearby, and Hua Nianping turned his face back with relief.

Lin Si'er could see it clearly.

Because of Hua Nianping's sudden conditioned reflex and his excessive vigilance, she couldn't help but feel a trace of unspeakable sadness in her heart.

Hua Nianping wanted to ask Lin Si'er why their husband and wife suddenly became awkward, but when the words came to their mouths, they swallowed back, and only responded in a low voice: "Oh, you have separated, how can this be!" ”

The two looked at each other sourly for a while, and Lin Si'er asked, "You, how are you doing?" She, I heard that she doesn't come back often. Let's go to our house for dinner at noon. ”

Hua Nianping knew that the "she" in Lin Si'er's mouth meant Wu Ningfang, and immediately said: "I still have something to do today, and I will go back to see you and the principal and teacher." ”

He didn't want to send the news of his assignment out of Beijing at this time, so he leaked it to Lin Si'er, who met unexpectedly.

Lin Si'er didn't force Hua Nianping, she knew that when the two of them met suddenly, they needed to sort out their sad feelings.

Before getting into the car, she handed Hua Nianping a business card of her own, and wanted to shake hands with him and say "goodbye". But seeing Hua Nianping's timid and depressed appearance, he couldn't bear to feel sad because he grabbed his hand again, which he hadn't touched for more than ten years, so he had to say goodbye to Hua Nianping and said, "I'll go first!" ”

Hua Nian nodded to Lin Si'er calmly, and watched her drive away in a daze, until her car turned into a pile of buildings far away, and then moved home.

He didn't notice that dozens of meters away, the little monkey-faced man who was still reading the newspaper just now also quickly turned around and left at this time, boarding a car that had already parked outside the entrance of the academy.

……

Hua Nianping lives in an ordinary teacher's building, although the area is less than 50 square meters, there are also two bedrooms and one living room.

Before he entered the door, he heard the phone ringing vigorously, thinking that it was his wife Wu Ningfang calling back, but after answering, he realized that it was the Director Zhu he had just met in the morning.

Director Zhu asked Hua Nianping when he would leave, and told him that he no longer had to report to the local provincial department, and could go directly to the Enyuan Group listed in Huai to take office.

Later, Director Zhu relayed that he had already made contact with the organs of the Huai Listed Company and the local direct management departments of the Enyuan Group, and that at that time, a supervisor named Zhang Yanzhi in the province would go to the Huai Listed Company to announce the appointment of Hua Nianping before 10 a.m. on Friday, the day after tomorrow.

That is to say, Hua Nianping must rush to Huai Market by this Thursday at the latest.

Because Hua Nianping didn't have a contact number with him, Director Zhu asked him to write down the mobile phone number of a working secretary next to Zhang Yanzhi.

Hua Nianping found on the Internet that there is no flight from Beijing to Huai City, only one passing train from West Railway Station.

Not far from the dormitory building of the faculty of the School of Economics of Beijing University, there is a train ticket office, and Hua Nianping hurriedly went down to buy a ticket.

In another 20 days, it will be the time of the Spring Festival, and the students queuing up to buy tickets will stretch dozens of meters long until they reach into the green belt on the side of the road.

After queuing for nearly an hour, it was easy to get to the ticket window, but the conductor said that there was no ticket within three days of the Huai market. Seeing Hua Nianping's really nervous and dumbfounded appearance, the conductor kindly reminded him to go around the West Railway Station.

Hua Nianping didn't understand it and asked, "Is there a ticket there at the West Railway Station?" ”

The conductor replied, "You go, you'll know." ”

Hua Nianping was unwilling to give up the opportunity he had waited for an hour, and pestered: "Since there are tickets at the station, you should also be able to buy tickets here." ”

The conductor was a little impatient, and Hua Nianping glanced at him and said, "I just can't buy it here, do you want to go or not!" ”

Then he shouted Hua Nianping to the side of the ticket window and called out to the next person behind him.

Hua Nianping could not get in touch with the provincial office in the capital of Huai Hang, and his only hope was to take a taxi to the West Railway Station immediately, where he could buy a ticket according to the conductor's instructions.

It was the middle of the day, and the taxis stopped and went.

Hua Nianping stared at the meter on the car, sweating nervously, because with the relentless beating of the numbers on the meter, his wallet could only bubble out of banknotes one by one.

Hua Nianping never had the idea of buying a car on his own.

In his opinion, there are too many cars in the capital, and all those who have bought private cars should not be proud, because the current situation of the country should not be that everyone can have a car; There are so many people, and the roads are so narrow, where do cars go, and where do they stop.

Finally arrived at the West Railway Station, Hua Nianping got off the train and didn't walk to the ticket office, and a few people approached him one after another and whispered to him, "Do you want tickets?"

Hua Nianping understood what the conductor had just said, and followed a "scalper" with a northeast accent to a small courtyard and saw a white Italian "Maserati" car parked at the door.

When I entered the courtyard, I found a woman with sunglasses still standing. She wore knee-high leather boots, and her beige coat looked precious.

The "scalper" said that the girl also bought a ticket to Huai Market at 6 a.m. the day after tomorrow - Thursday.

The "scalper" asked the two for the price: 500 yuan for the soft sleeper, 300 yuan for the general sleeper, and 100 yuan for the general seat.

Hua Nianping wanted a general bed at first, and was willing to add an extra hundred, but the "scalper" resolutely refused.

After some bargaining, the "scalper" showed kindness, saying that it was not easy to see Hua Nianping's inconvenient legs and feet, and it was not easy to go out, and he was willing to increase the price by 50 yuan to cheapen him for a general seat ticket.

At the end of 2009, there was no real-name system for boarding trains at the west station of the capital.

Hua Nianping thought that the reason why they were called "scalpers" was because they were doing "scalping", so they had to agree to the transaction at the price and buy this ordinary ticket.

The girl simply took advantage of the amount and bought a soft sleeper according to the bid of the "scalper". When Hua Nianping went out with her ticket, he saw that "Maserati" turned out to be the girl's mount.

The girl drove forward for more than ten meters, suddenly opened the car window, turned back to Hua Nianping and said, "Where is Mr. going, if it is by the way, I can take you for a ride." ”

Although Hua Nianping heard from the voice that the girl was not from the capital, and concluded that this was not a taxi black car that was ripping off customers, obviously taking him out of good intentions, he still waved his hand to the girl, said "thank you" sincerely, and walked straight to the subway entrance.

The girl in the car shook her head at Hua Nianping's lame back, thinking to herself, this guy's arrogance is unreasonable, and he is clearly a person with self-esteem and inferiority.
