The provincial notice on Hua Nianping's appointment was officially issued to Huai Listed and Enyuan Group, and he served as the acting commissioner and part-time vice chairman.

According to the requirements of the province, Hua Nianping went to the provincial capital.

Several relevant leaders in the province met with Hua Nianping respectively, had a job talk, and affirmed his performance in quelling the sudden pollution accident of Xinhua Pharmaceutical Factory and his performance in Huai for several days in a row, and praised him for his decisive style and courage.

Hua Nianping thought of the leader named Zhang Yanzhi, who made a special trip to Huaishi last week to personally announce his appointment, but because of his disappearance, he went to visit again to review his own mistakes, which caused Zhang Yanzhi not only to run in vain, but also to worry about his unknown whereabouts in the past few days.

Zhang Yanzhi was very polite, and inevitably like several other major leaders in the province, he also praised Hua Nianping, and especially instructed him that because Comrade Chang Qiutian, chairman of Enyuan Group, was not in good health, a lot of work burdens would be on him alone, and he should discuss with Comrade Qiu Mingqing, the head of the discipline inspection team, in case of trouble.

After Zhang Yanzhi's reminder, Hua Nianping found Chang Qiutian's home again and went to visit his partner, whom he had never met.

Chang Akita will be sixty years old in a few years, and he served as the head of a certain department before going to Huaishi. He was transferred to the position of chairman because the province implemented territorial management of Enshi Group.

Hua Nianping saw that Chang Qiutian's health was really not very good, and when the two were talking, he kept rubbing his lower abdomen with his hands, and it seemed that every part of his body seemed to be weak.

Chang Akita said that he had been suffering from severe prostatitis, and this examination found that there was a problem with the kidneys, and the doctor suspected that it was uremia, and he planned to go to Shanghai in a few days for a detailed review.

In the evening, Chang Qiutian insisted on leaving Hua Nianping to eat at home before allowing him to leave.

After spending more than two days in the provincial capital, Hua Nianping returned to Huaishi on Friday afternoon.

As soon as Minister 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. It is said that a female reporter from "Social Weekly" came the day before yesterday and rushed from the capital to Huaishi to cover the poisoning accident in Qilitang Town.

Yu Fei also reported that because the female reporter is also the executive deputy editor-in-chief of the magazine, Executive Vice President Huang Chunrong personally came forward to accept the interview and took the initiative to accompany her to Huazhou District to visit the Qilitang Town Nursing Home and Xinhua Pharmaceutical Factory.

Hua Nianping immediately knew who the female reporter was in the minister's mouth, 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, saying that she would wait for Commissioner Hua to meet after returning from the provincial capital.

Hua Nianping asked, where is the female reporter at this time. Yu Fei said that she stayed 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" is an important publication of the core organs of the capital and has a guiding nature. As Lin Si'er's chief reporter and deputy editor-in-chief, the subjects of her interviews are often well-known people in China, at least high-ranking officials at or above the provincial and ministerial level.

Yu Fei saw that Hua Nianping was silent for a long time, thinking that he was very reluctant to be entangled by the female reporter who came to interview him. He said that if Commissioner Hua was really unwilling to meet the female reporter, he would immediately go to tell her, lying that the commissioner was still staying in the provincial capital to do business, and he didn't know when he would be able to return to the Enyuan Group.

Hua Nianping stopped Yu Fei and asked him to report the female reporter's room number at the Seventh Degree Hotel to him, saying that he would consider contacting her directly.

As soon as Yu Fei left, Hua Nianping immediately dialed the phone in Lin Si'er's room.

Lin Si'er asked on the phone, "Hello, which one?" ”

This unusually familiar voice made Hua Nianping's eyes blur for a while, and the sourness in his heart soaked his whole body along the blood, making him unable to answer for a while.

Lin Si'er asked: "Who is it, please speak!" ”

I still can't hear an echo on the phone.

Lin Si'er immediately guessed a few points and said, "Is it Hua Nianping?" Are you back in Huai? It's you, Nianping! Even if you hold the microphone and don't open your mouth, I can hear that it's you. Because, no one knows your breath better than I do! ”

Hua Nianping couldn't imagine that the two had been separated for more than ten years, and Lin Si'er's memory of him was still so strong and profound, and a large heat wave suddenly appeared in his heart.

He paused for a moment, tried to calm himself, and said, "It's me, Si'er, how are you!" I'll see you right after work. Let's have dinner together in the evening! ”

Lin Si'er breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Come on, I've been waiting for you for the past two days!" ”

Half an hour later, Hua Nianping and Lin Sier met at the Seventh Degree Hotel. When he arrived, she was already sitting quietly waiting for him in a booth in a western restaurant.

There were hardly any guests in the restaurant. Hua Nianping felt that Lin Si'er chose to meet here, but it would not attract the attention of outsiders.

Hua Nianping sat down opposite Lin Si'er and asked her what she wanted to eat, and Lin Si'er said to eat Brazilian barbecue.

When she said this, she couldn't help but glance at Hua Nianping, because they also remembered that many years ago, Hong Fang and his boyfriend Lieutenant Tao had invited the two of them to Xidan, the capital, and had a Brazilian barbecue together.

Hua Nianping remembered the sudden encounter with Lin Si'er at the gate of the School of Economics of Beijing University that day before coming to Huai to go public. The two had mixed feelings at that time, and neither of them bothered to pay attention to each other, and at this time, there was no one else around, and they both looked at each other with eager eyes, and their emotions were extremely complicated.

After the waiter came over, the two ordered something to eat.

Lin Si'er caught a glimpse of a thin and small man not far away at this time.

The man, with a monkey-pointed face, asked the waiter for a cup of coffee, and sat down two places away from Hua Nianping. The position he chose could clearly hear the conversation between Lin Si'er and Hua Nianping.

Lin Si'er remembered that she was queuing up with him a few days ago and getting on the train at Beijing West Railway Station from the very elegant light gray jacket on this man's body, but she didn't expect that this person also came to Huai Market, and now she lives in the same big hotel, and stays in the same place as her.

However, Lin Si'er, because all her thoughts were focused on Hua Nianping at this time, only glanced at this thin man casually, and didn't pay much attention to him.

Hua Nianping saw that Lin Si'er seemed to have carefully applied some light makeup today, although more than ten years have passed, her demeanor is as quiet and charming as when she first fell in love, and her fine eyebrows are still so delicate.

It's just that her long flowing hair has been cut off and replaced with short neck-length hair, and the original small freckles at both ends of her nose have faded at some point, adding some maturity left over the years on her face.

Lin Si'er also looked at Hua Nianping carefully.

She found that he had changed beyond her imagination over the years, although his deep eyes were still bright and moving, but the gaze shot out was a little cold, and there were even more than a dozen gray hairs on his forehead, which were connected into a very conspicuous strand; His face is also thinner than more than ten years ago, and when he was working in Xinjiang in the past few years, he was exposed to the scorching sun on the plateau, and his skin, which was originally very white, has now become rough and dark, and the whole person looks many years older than his actual age.
