In the two or three thousand words of news reports, Fang Hanmin's name appeared thirty or forty times, and the frequency of this name was second only to that of Director Yuan.

As expected, the cadres and workers of the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory quickly saw the content of the report, and colleagues who were familiar with Fang Hanmin thought that he should have been in the newspaper a long time ago, and those who were not familiar with him sighed, this Fang Hanmin has been very popular recently!

One morning, the internal phone on Fang Hanmin's desk rang, he picked it up, and a pleasant female voice came from the earphones, "Hello! May I ask if you are Fang Hanmin from Guichun No. 2? ”

"Me? Guichun No. 2 Middle School? Fang Hanmin thought that the other party had made a mistake, "I'm sorry, I'm Fang Hanmin, but this is the technical department of Hongxing Pharmaceutical Factory, not Guichun No. 2 Middle School." ”

"I'm sorry, I didn't make it clear just now, I know that your unit is Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory, I just want to ask, are you a graduate of Guichun No. 2 Middle School?"

In his previous life, Fang Hanmin didn't know anything about Guichun No. 2 Middle School, but as the host, Fang Hanmin, of course, couldn't forget his alma mater, and after a moment of hesitation, he said with great certainty: "Yes, I graduated from Guichun No. 2 Middle School." ”

"Is it the third class of the seventh and ninth grades?"

"That's right, I'm in the third class of the seventh and ninth grades. Who are you? After talking for a long time, Fang Hanmin still didn't know who the other party was.

"That's right, Fang Hanmin, it's really you! Who am I? Can't you hear that? "The other party deliberately sold the guanzi.

"I didn't hear who you are?"

"Forget it if you don't hear it, keep the suspense going. Old classmate, I also work in the city, if it's convenient for you, let's take the time to meet, won't you know who I am when the time comes? ”

According to the other party, Fang Hanmin and her are classmates who have not seen her for many years, and they work in the same city, if they don't agree to meet and seem unfriendly, Fang Hanmin feels that it doesn't hurt to meet, "Okay, then take the time to meet, you can decide the time and place." ”

At about six o'clock in the evening on the weekend, Fang Hanmin came to a small restaurant as promised, and after entering the door, he saw a private seat by the window, a young and beautiful lady who was dressed in time was looking out the window, as if waiting for someone, as the host, Fang Hanmin recognized at a glance that it was Yu Dongmei, a member of the entertainment committee of the same class, he hesitated for a moment and walked over, "Yu Dongmei, it turned out to be you!" ”

The other party turned his gaze and stood up, "Fang Hanmin? I'm not mistaken, you're our old squad leader! ”

The two sat down face to face, and after greeting each other, they had mixed feelings, as if they had endless words, Fang Hanmin proposed to order the dishes first, wouldn't it be better to chat while eating.

Fang Hanmin usually doesn't drink alcohol, he specially ordered a bottle of local famous wine, and poured a glass for Yu Dongmei. Maybe because I haven't seen each other for many years, and I met in another country, Yu Dongmei, who had never drunk liquor before, readily agreed, "Let's pour it, from high school graduation to now, four or five years, today is a very rare meeting." ”

After a while, the dishes were served, the two raised their glasses and touched, and Fang Hanmin proposed: "Cheers to the rare meeting!" ”

After putting down the cup, Fang Hanmin didn't move his chopsticks, but looked at the other party over and over again, and sighed in his heart, no wonder the host had a good impression of her, although the lady in front of her could not be called a flower and a moon, but she could be regarded as bright and moving.

Until the other party sneered, "Fang Hanmin, why are you looking at me like this?" Haven't you seen me for years and don't know me? ”

"This," Fang Hanmin was embarrassed, "I know, how can I not know!" But I haven't seen each other for four or five years, and you seem to be a little fatter than before? ”

Yu Dongmei didn't take it to heart, "Yes, high school was both tense and hard, and now I am a few pounds fatter than then." ”

Fang Hanmin regained his composure, "Yu Dongmei, I lost contact with my former classmates, how did you find me?" ”

Yu Dongmei took out a newspaper from her bag and handed it to Fang Hanmin, "This is the report on the deeds of your unit, right?" ”

Fang Hanmin took it and looked at it, he had seen this newspaper a few days ago, "It's the news of our unit, why do you care about this kind of thing?" ”

"I didn't pay special attention to it, a few days ago I was idle in the office, so I picked up the newspaper on the table and flipped through it, I was going to browse it casually and pass the time, but I accidentally saw Fang Hanmin's three words in this report, I thought it was a duplicate name, and when I looked down, the newspaper said that this person entered the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory as a temporary worker in the second half of 79, I thought of Fang Hanmin, a classmate in the third class of 79, is it the same person as reported in the newspaper?"

Yu Dongmei is always so lively and cheerful, the more she talks, the happier she becomes, "Put down the newspaper, I will go to the school's academic affairs office to make an external call, the old man in the academic affairs office is afraid that I will make a long-distance call, and I will monitor him on the side, so I will tell him, I will call my boyfriend, are you still interested in this kind of thing at such an age?" The result embarrassed him. Dialed the switchboard of the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory, I asked the operator to transfer to the technical department, she said that the technical department has two telephones, asked me which one to find, I said to find Fang Hanmin, how interesting do you say the female operator? If I had to ask who I was, I had to say that I was Fang Hanmin's girlfriend. After saying that, Yu Dongmei giggled.

Looking at the beautiful, generous, lively and lovely Yu Dongmei, Fang Hanmin also laughed, "Boyfriend for a while, girlfriend for a while, you are really good at fooling people." ”

"I didn't fool you, I didn't fool them, how could I call you?"

"Yes, sometimes you can't be too realistic, isn't it said that honest people suffer? Maybe here's why. Uh, Yu Dongmei, it seems that you work at the school just now, right? Did you get admitted to the Teachers College during the college entrance examination? ”

"Don't you know? My studies were not so good, after the college entrance examination results came out, my score was only enough to study in a normal college, because I like music and dance, I chose a music teaching major in a normal college in the province. ”

It turned out that after graduating from the teacher college, Yu Dongmei was assigned to a middle school in Shuangling City as a music teacher, because she can sing and dance, is lively and generous, has an easy-going personality, and is beautiful.

"You're now a human soul engineer, and your job is easy, which is already very good!" Fang Hanmin praised.

At this time, Fang Hanmin had already drunk the first glass of wine, and Yu Dongmei had also drunk nearly half a glass, it seemed that she was really drinking white wine for the first time, not only was her face flushed, but she also spoke more casually, "Human Soul Engineer, hahaha!" You're making fun of me, aren't you? Can I compare to you? Our classmates, you haven't studied in college yet, read what the newspaper says, you are not only a talent of Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory now, but also was promoted to the deputy head of the technical department at a young age, what am I doing? As a music teacher, the status of the two of us is very different! ”

"Don't say that, you are now a state cadre, and my identity is still a work-for-work within the enterprise, to put it bluntly, I am still a worker."

"Fang Hanmin, don't be humble in front of me, don't you remember this sentence? To be too modest is to be proud. We are old classmates, congratulations on your achievements! Uh, how did you get to work at Red Star Pharmaceutical? Where did you learn so much about science? You know, several of our classmates who were admitted to key universities in that class have also achieved nothing now. ”

In order to satisfy Dongmei's curiosity, Fang Hanmin told him about the introduction of a friend he met through the water conservancy site to work as a temporary worker in the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory, but this matter is going to rot to the stomach, and he can't tell anyone! Of course, his rhetoric that he has mastered a lot of scientific and technological knowledge through self-study did not arouse much interest in Yu Dongmei.

"No wonder you went to the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory as a worker, it turned out that you met a nobleman. In those years, it was basically a fantasy for rural people to want to work in a unit in the city! ”

"In the first two or three years, my rural hukou has not changed, but it has only become an urban hukou in the past two years.

"Isn't everything fine now? What else are you talking about? ”

"yes, it's all gone. In fact, when I didn't enter the city, I was not depressed, and it was a big deal to go back to the countryside to farm. ”

"People like you, go to the reservoir construction site to work, get the appreciation of the site leaders, work as a temporary worker in the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory, and make so many contributions to their enterprises, I don't think you will be satisfied with being a mediocre person anywhere, so it is impossible for you to go back to the countryside to farm." is worthy of being classmates and working together in the class committee, Yu Dongmei's summary is appropriate.

"Who knows, maybe it's not impossible to go back to the countryside and become a village party secretary or village committee director or something."

"It's a beautiful idea! I'm afraid that if you want to go back to the countryside now, the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory will not let you go. Okay, don't go too far, can I ask you a private question? ”

Fang Hanmin made a gesture of please, "I don't have a secret, just ask." ”

"I've been working for four or five years, and now I've been unusually promoted to deputy section chief, do you have a soft spot for any girl? Tell me the truth. Yu Dongmei looked at Fang Hanmin with a smile, this may be one of the main purposes of her meeting tonight.

Fang Hanmin replied without hesitation: "No, absolutely not!" ”

"Honestly? Didn't lie to me? ”

"It's true! There is no half a lie. You don't want to think about it, with my family conditions, which city girl can look up to me as a poor bastard? I have a soft spot for people, isn't that unrequited love? I don't torture myself by doing that kind of stupid thing! ”

"It's been so many years, time has passed, I didn't expect your self-esteem to be so strong! Do you admit it, in high school, you thought the same way? Perhaps afraid that she would get drunk, Yu Dongmei put aside the remaining half of the wine and focused on chatting with Fang Hanmin.

"High school?" How did Fang Hanmin, who came through the crossing, know that Yu Dongmei had a crush on the host Fang Hanmin at that time, just because of his poor family conditions and introverted personality, he didn't feel the slightest hint of Dongmei, "What's wrong with high school?" ”

Yu Dongmei said angrily: "It's nothing, let's say you're a nerd, it seems that you haven't stayed to that extent." Okay, let's not talk about the past. ”

"Don't mention it? Well, I was mentally immature at that time, and it had been several years, so I don't want to mention it. Fang Hanmin wished he had turned the page earlier.

"Well, tell me, what's next for you?"

Yu Dongmei's meaning was very clear, but Fang Hanmin asked knowingly, "What's next?" Our pilot plant is about to be installed, and the next step is to carry out the scale-up test of hydroreduction. ”

"Who's talking to you about work? Fang Hanmin, you did it on purpose, right? If you do this again, I'll ignore you! Yu Dongmei pretended to be angry, but in fact she was blaming Fang Hanmin for not understanding the amorous feelings.

Fang Hanmin was a little confused, he was fine just now, what's wrong?
