The long-distance bus leading to the county seat through here only takes more than an hour, and Fang Hanmin and Song Yuping have been chatting for a long time, and they already have a general understanding of each other's situation.

Coincidentally met this alumnus, Fang Hanmin was still a little shy at first, and his eyes wandered away when he spoke, and after getting acquainted with each other, he and Song Yuping looked at each other, which was also the first time since his student days to the present, Fang Hanmin carefully looked at this senior sister who had long paid attention to him.

Song Yuping in front of her, tall, moderately fat and thin, with straight hair and a shawl, fair skin, although she is not like a peach blossom, she also has delicate facial features, a light gray casual top, dark blue trousers, and a pair of black semi-high heels, giving people a fresh and refined feeling.

Just when they were about to learn more about each other's situation, they saw a bus coming from far and near, and the two sides left each other's contact information of "Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory Technical Section" and "Yumin Junior High School Chinese Teaching and Research Group", and Fang Hanmin boarded the bus to the county seat.

......

The head of the personnel department, Fang Hanmin, has helped Fang Hanmin, Fang Hanmin always wants to express his gratitude to Lao Hou, sending cigarettes and alcohol is not the same thing, this time back to his hometown, he wants to bring Lao Hou a little hometown souvenirs, but there is really nothing to do in his hometown, think about it, he thinks that the peanuts produced in his hometown may be useful to people in the city, so, after obtaining the consent of his parents, he brought more than a dozen catties of peanuts from his hometown, ready to give to Lao Hou.

Coming out of the Shuangling long-distance bus station, it was close to six o'clock in the evening, if you carried a bag of peanuts back to the dormitory, let the neighbors see it, and don't give them some, it seems too stingy, but the things brought back this time are really not their share.

After getting off the bus, Fang Hanmin decided not to go back to the dormitory first, he wanted to send these peanuts directly to Lao Hou.

When he arrived at the door of Lao Hou's house, Fang Hanmin knocked on the door a few times, and the person who opened the door for him was a girl wearing gold-rimmed glasses, moderate height, with hair in a bun, fair skin, and clear eyebrows.

Fang Hanmin thought that he had gone to the wrong door, and he asked timidly: "May I ask if this is Section Chief Hou's house?" ”

"Yes," the girl called out to the kitchen, "Dad, there's a guest, looking for you." After speaking, he politely let Fang Hanmin into the house.

Lao Hou was cooking in the kitchen with his wife, and after hearing the shout, he picked up a rag and wiped his hands, returned to the living room, and was slightly surprised to see Fang Hanmin visiting, "Hanmin, why do you have time to visit the house today?" ”

"Section Chief Hou, I've returned to my hometown, and I just came back. I brought you some peanuts from my hometown, which is a souvenir of my hometown. Fang Hanmin put the bag in the corner.

"Ouch, your hometown is dozens of kilometers away from here, and if you bring me these things, it's enough for you to be tired along the way. Thank you! ”

"It's not worth a few dollars, even if it's a little bit of my heart."

"Okay, I'll take it. You must not have eaten yet, just in time for dinner, sit down and eat together. ”

Fang Hanmin knew that this was the dinner time of each family, so he didn't plan to sit down at all, so he exchanged a few more words with Lao Hou, and then made an excuse to leave.

At dinner, Lao Hou's family of three sat around the table, and his daughter Hou Xuemei suddenly asked, "Where is the guest just now?" Didn't stay for dinner? ”

"Guests? You mean Fang Hanmin, he brought me peanuts from his hometown, put them there and left. Lao Hou pointed to the bag in the corner.

Hou Xuemei looked surprised, "What was the name of this person just now?" You say his name is Fang Hanmin? ”

Lao Hou was eating, ignoring his daughter's question, "What a fuss!" He is an employee of our unit, what, do you know him? ”

"Employees of your unit, where did I know him! However, some time ago, the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory was in the newspaper, and I saw that his name was on the news. ”

"Yes! It was Fang Hanmin, together with our factory director and Mr. Xia, who was interviewed by the three major media in Shuangling City, which not only made the headlines of the newspaper, but also made simultaneous reports on the city's radio and television stations. Lao Hou said proudly.

"Because the report is about the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory, I read the news in the newspaper in detail, and you Director Yuan and this Fang Hanmin answered the most questions, and that Mr. Xia is basically the foil." Hou Xuemei told the truth.

"You read very carefully, are you doing nothing in the unit and passing the time by reading the newspaper?"

"Mom, what do you say? I look at the newspaper, how do you call it idleness? Kill time? "Hou Xuemei, a daughter of financial management, was assigned to the Shuangling City Bureau of Commerce as an accountant after graduating from university, and the work was indeed relatively easy.

Lao Hou's wife is not highly educated and is not interested in the news in the newspaper, "A newspaper makes you read with relish, what does it matter to you?" ”

"You old lady doesn't have a sense of the big picture, why doesn't the matter of the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory have anything to do with me? My dad is the head of the personnel department of the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory, and the house we live in is allocated by the factory. "Hou Xuemei is the only daughter in the family, and she has always spoken casually in front of her parents.

"I have a low consciousness, you have a big picture, okay? Eat fast! Mother said angrily.

"That's what it was! Dad, this Fang Hanmin became famous at a young age, which university did he graduate from? Hou Xuemei asked curiously.

Lao Hou simply put down his chopsticks and briefly introduced Fang Hanmin's situation, "Don't look at this young man who has neither education nor qualifications, but he is very persevering, it is said that he did not contact the outside world in the first few years, held a book all day long, insisted on self-study, and finally mastered so many modern pharmaceutical technologies." ”

"No contact with the outside world? Judging from his answers to reporters' questions, he doesn't look like a nerd! In any case, it is truly remarkable that people have made so many contributions at such a young age! Those of our classmates, even if they were admitted to key universities at the beginning, are still exercising at the grassroots level, not to mention being famous, and even none of them are up-and-coming. ”

"This young man does have something extraordinary, it is said that the new process he came up with, not only the product quality is good, the production efficiency is high, but also completely eliminated environmental pollution, and the whole plant of scientific and technological personnel, including Mr. Xia, no one has seen it."

"So powerful? That's an expert-level figure, so it's no wonder that he was interviewed by the media with the factory director. Dad, what's the phone number in his office? ”

The daughter's words were completely unexpected, which surprised Lao Hou, "What do you want to do if you want his office phone number?" ”

"I didn't do anything dangerous, why are I so nervous? Otherwise, you can help us pull the red thread. Hou Xuemei said cynically.

"You ......," Lao Hou angrily pushed the dishes and chopsticks aside, "Xuemei, I can tell you, in this matter, you can't be willful, you are not allowed to come nonsense!" ”......

At about half past ten on Monday morning, after the weekly scheduling meeting, Fang Hanmin had just returned to the office when the phone on the desk rang, he picked it up and heard a lady's voice: "Hello! Is it the technical department of the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory? ”

Fang Hanmin thought it was a call from Yu Dongmei, but after listening carefully, he felt that something was wrong, "This is the technical department of Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory, who are you looking for?" Who are you? ”

"Comrade, is there a section chief named Fang Hanmin in your technical department?"

"I am Fang Hanmin, but I am the deputy section chief, not the section chief."

"You are Fang Hanmin? Then I've got the right person. ”

"I'm sorry, you haven't answered me yet, who are you? What's the matter with me? ”

"Who am I? You may have forgotten that we had a brief meeting and called you today to talk to you. ”

Fang Hanmin felt inexplicable, "Let's talk? I don't know you at all, what do I have to talk to you about? ”

The other party was not in a hurry, "I said, we have met once, maybe you forgot." ”

"I'm sorry, I can't remember where I've seen you." Fang Hanmin didn't want to entangle with the other party, he wanted to end the call as soon as possible.

"It's okay if you can't remember, I can remind you. Do you still remember when you went to Section Chief Hou's house last night, who opened the door for you? ”

Of course, Fang Hanmin remembered the girl who opened the door for him, "Could it be that you are Section Chief Hou's thousand catties?" I'm sorry I didn't hear you, I'm sorry! ”

"Hahaha!" The other party laughed on the phone, "Why are you in a hurry?" We met for less than two minutes, and we only spoke a few words in total, and it was normal not to hear my voice, so what's so embarrassing? In addition, I would like to state to you that my father is only a section chief, not a senior official, and I am not a jack of money, I am just an accountant of the Commercial Bureau. ”

"Thank you for your understanding! What do you call you? ”

"My name is Hou Xuemei, they all call me Xiaomei, whatever you want to call me."

"Okay, Comrade Xiaomei, what's the matter with me?"

"I said at the beginning, I called you, mainly to talk to you. Why are you so serious? Comrade Xiaomei, can you get rid of the comrades? ”

"Okay, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"We should be the same age, right? There should be a lot of common language, not only can you talk about life ideals, goals, but also work, life, and love, don't you say? ”

Fang Hanmin felt that Hou Xuemei seemed to be bored, this was to find him to have fun, but what he didn't understand was that I only had a one-sided acquaintance with you, and I didn't know your name at first, I think you are completely looking for the wrong person!

"Comrade Xiaomei, these topics are too broad, a few words are not clear, I am busy now, let's talk about it when I have time." Fang Hanmin just wanted to push the other party away.

"Then I won't delay your time today. Your suggestion is very good, let's talk when you have time, then on the weekend, you and I are free on the weekend, you set a time, where will we meet? ”

Hou Xuemei's climb along the pole made Fang Hanmin cry and laugh, talk to you on the weekend? You've got a lot to think about! Last weekend, because I went back to my hometown, I had already delayed my date with Yu Dongmei, and this weekend must not be delayed any longer. In addition, Yu Dongmei is my girlfriend, I date you Hou Xuemei, talk about life ideals, talk about work and life, what's going on?

Fang Hanmin directly rejected the other party's proposal, "I'm sorry, I have already arranged my weekend time." ”

"It's okay, I can wait, you don't have time this weekend, just wait for next weekend, or another weekend, I have time. In addition, it is said that you live in a bachelor dormitory, and if you have any difficulties in life, I can help you solve them. ”

Fang Hanmin noticed that there was something in the other party's words, there is a saying that there is no love for no reason, this Hou Xuemei took the initiative to approach her, was she instructed by her father, or did she make her own opinion? What is the purpose of her approaching herself?

Although he doesn't have a deep personal relationship with Section Chief Hou, he has had a lot of opportunities to deal with him in the past two or three years, according to his own personal experience, Fang Hanmin believes that Lao Hou is not the kind of person who makes small moves behind his back, no matter what happens, he likes to put it on the table.

If there is no factor of Section Chief Hou, it is completely Hou Xuemei's own opinion, what does she want to do?
