Shen Huai dialed the phone number on the note left by Huang Xinliang, and after two rings, a very crisp voice picked up: "Hello, I'm Song Bingcheng, who is this?"

  When the accident happened, Shen Hua was conscious that he was surviving in Shen Hua's body before, only that the memories of the previous Shen Hua were like video files, preserved.

  Perhaps at first, Shen Hua thought that this could help him better face the world with a new identity, and he would consciously or unconsciously "flip through" Shen Hua's memories.

  The formation of personality is not innate, but rather the accumulation of events experienced throughout one's life.

  Shen Hua, in "absorbing" other people's life memories, also unknowingly allowed his previous life to permeate into his consciousness and personality, making his character more gentle and reserved.

  Especially after Sun Yalun appeared, this change became even more apparent. Shen Huai often couldn't tell whether he was Sun Haiwen or Shen Huai in his dreams, or that he had already become a "brand new" person.

  Upon hearing this strange yet familiar voice with a hint of huskiness, Shen Huan felt a sudden daze, as if some unexpected emotions had surged up from the depths of his heart.

  Shen Huai is very strange, he just lives on the identity of Shen Huai before, even if he wants to make achievements in his hometown and gain recognition from the Song and Sun families, after all, it's still hoping to rely on the power of the Song and Sun families to have better development in his official career, rather than having any emotional dependence...

  Shen Huai was clear about these things in his heart. How could he have such an expectant mood at this time? This should be the mood of that messy ball from before!

  Perhaps Shen Hua had been silent for too long, causing Song Bing to become impatient on the other end of the phone and ask again, "Who is this? Who are you looking for?"

  "I am Shen Hua..." Shen Hua said in a hoarse voice.

  "Oh, the previous call was mine," Song Bing said calmly on the other end of the phone. "The Agricultural Machinery Department will have adjustments after the New Year, and I am working in the Ministry of Agriculture. I've read the article you published in the 'Township Enterprise' journal. I just heard about your work as the township party secretary at Donghua University. Just focus on your work in the township and don't play with these empty titles. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up..." About two seconds later, Song Bing directly hung up the phone.

  Shen Huai suddenly felt a stinging pain in his heart, this feeling made him feel somewhat terrified, making him realize that he was no longer living purely as Shen Huai's identity before. He was afraid that from the depths of his soul and emotions, he could not escape the imprint of Shen Huai's previous life, otherwise there would not be such a clear sense of loss and stinging pain.

  The phone rang with a long tone, and the man on the other end of the line, who should have been "his father", had already disappeared somewhere unknown. Shen Huan just sat there blankly, his heart without a place to rest.

  It's not just about shouldering two people's lives, but also integrating two people's lives.

  "Township Enterprise" is a journal sponsored by the Township Enterprise Bureau. Tan Qiping asked Shen Hua to organize some ideas on township asset management into a theoretical article, which was published in this journal. However, Shen Hua did not know that the State Council had already merged the Township Enterprise Bureau and other departments into the newly established Ministry of Agriculture, so he did not expect the article to fall into "his father's" eyes.

  His father didn't believe at all that he had written this article, and the phone call was just a warning to behave himself.

  Shen Hua did not know when the Agricultural Machinery Department would be renamed as the Ministry of Agriculture, nor did he know what position his father would hold in the Ministry of Agriculture after the adjustment. No one thought to tell him about this matter; if it weren't for this article, there wouldn't have been this phone call.

  Of course, although it is inevitable that there will be some influence from the previous Shen Hua, but more of it is the unexpected expectation and loss, making Shen Hua somewhat difficult to adapt.

  Shen Hua sat in the office, lit a cigarette and slowly collected his emotions. Suddenly he thought of a key question: The appointment of the party secretary had just come down, "his father" already knew; That could only mean that Tan Qiping had called "his father" on the phone at some point during the morning or noon...

  He achieved results at the grassroots level, and was recognized so quickly, and could hold his own in a township. Upon hearing this, "his father" reacted surprisingly calmly - would Tan Qiping think this way?

  If his "second uncle" Song Qiaosheng had a cold attitude, there was still room for explanation, after all, the complex relationships between brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts in a big family were complicated, but his "father's" cold attitude made Tan Qiping wonder where to go.

  Tan Qiping has been in the officialdom for half his life, not a simple youth, except for the unthinkable things like soul transfer, what bad or good things can't be thought of?

  Thinking of Tan Qiping's contact with "father", it is likely to directly affect Tan Qiping's perception of him, and Shen Huai's heart was covered with a layer of dark clouds.

  He was able to carry out his work so smoothly in Mei Creek Town, and it had a direct relationship with Tan Qiping's strong support. For a time, Shen Hua couldn't imagine: if Tan Qiping became indifferent towards him, what a huge blow it would be to his future development!

  Thinking so, Shen Hua felt somewhat restless in the office, smoked two cigarettes, and his mind was still hard to calm down.

  Shen Huai opened the office door, wanting to get some fresh air, and saw Huang Xinliang still sitting in the outer office. He frowned impatiently and asked, "Director Huang, don't you have anything to do this afternoon?"

  Huang Xinliang hit his head with a stick, wanting to ask about the phone call, but felt it wasn't his place to ask, so he looked embarrassed and was on the verge of tears, ultimately saying nothing and pushing the door to leave.

  "Is Teacher Yang Chengming discharged from hospital today?" Shen Huai suddenly remembered something and called out to Huang Xinliang.

  "Yes," Huang Xinliang stopped and replied, "I'm rushing to be discharged today, it's the Chinese New Year, I don't want to stay in the hospital."

  "Let's go to Teacher Yang Chengming's house and take a look; you go ask He Zhenchang, if he's not busy, you accompany me there." Shen Huai said. He couldn't go to Chen Dan's place at this time, after all, he had to find something to divert his mind. He Qing She was also the director of the Education Office, so before going to see Yang Chengming, Shen Huai would have to inform He Qing She first...

  He Qingxia and Huang Xinliang came downstairs after a while, and there was nothing urgent before the New Year.

  ***********

  The Spring Festival is approaching, and the municipal party committee office is also lazy and scattered. The laughter sounds more crisp than usual. Xiong Wenbin doesn't even bother to crack his whip anymore. To be honest, the municipal party committee office is right under the nose of the municipal party secretary, and Tan Qiping is a strict person who demands high standards. Compared to other government agencies, working at the municipal party committee office is much more relaxed, especially during the Chinese New Year. Xiong Wenbin is happy to let everyone take it easy.

  Xiong Wenbin held the file folder, pushed open Tan Qiping's office door, and saw Tan Qiping sitting on the sofa in the reception area, with a somewhat gloomy face, wondering what he was thinking about.

  "Secretary Tan..." Xiong Wenbin reminded in a low voice.

  Tan Qiping raised his head and asked: "How is the negotiation with Ye Xin going?"

  "This is a new offer and condition for the overall acquisition of Tianheng Building by Yexin...". Xiong Wenbin pulled out a piece of paper from his folder and handed it to Tan Qiping.

  Tan Qiping took a glance and asked Xiong Wenbin: "How does Mayor Liang view Gu Tong?"

  "The city steel factory has invested 1.1 billion in the Tianheng Building, not counting the land cost," said Xiong Wenbin, "Mayor Liang didn't express any opinion?"

  "The land was originally allocated to the Municipal Steel Factory, and now it has been transferred by the municipal government to Yixin Bank, which wants to charge a fee. This fee will also be collected by the municipal government," said Xiong Wenbin with a frown. "However, 1.1 billion is still a big gap from Yixin's conditions! Do you think someone behind this wants to insist on being stubborn?"

  Xiong Wenbin nodded: It's clear that Gao Tianhe would rather let this deal fall through than have the problem of the Tianheng Building solved by Tan Qiping, and thus lose face.

  "What should we do?" Tan Qiping asked.

  Tan Qiping, although he is the municipal party secretary, cannot directly order the city's steel factory to sell the Tianheng Building to Yeshin Bank at a discount of 30-40 million...

  Of course, the city must intervene forcefully, and this decision can only be made after collective discussion at a municipal standing committee meeting.

  If this matter is brought to the Municipal Standing Committee for discussion, Tan Qiping will also face certain risks: if the discussion passes, it can severely hit Gao Tianhe; if the discussion does not pass, the initiative that Tan Qiping has taken in advance will be lost.

  "It's almost Chinese New Year, everyone's mind is not on work, maybe after the holiday, the situation will be more optimistic," Xiong Wenbin said, "During the Spring Festival, did Secretary Tan arrange to visit the lives of the city steel factory workers?"

  "Good." Tan Qiping knew what Xiong Wenbin meant and had to admit that Xiong Wenbin was a good helper.

  Gu stuck to his guns and refused to sell the property rights of Tianheng Building at a low price to Yeshin Bank, after all, it was Gao Tianhe who was secretly supporting him. Tan Qiping's move to bring this matter to the Municipal Standing Committee meeting at this time had some risks and there was no need to confront Gao Tianhe head-on. The municipal steel plant had long been plagued by a shortage of funds, and the workers' living standards urgently needed improvement, he should put pressure on Gu from within the steel plant...

  Xiong Wenbin said, "Right, today Shen Hua officially took office as the Party Secretary of Meixi Town. Director Kan just called me and asked if I wasn't going to treat Shen Hua to dinner tonight? Secretary Tan also doesn't have any special arrangements for tonight, do you want to join in on the fun?"

  "No, I'm also rare to return home early and rest," Tan Qiping said coldly. "Shen Huai has become the number one in Meixi Town, he should do his job solidly, you guys shouldn't help him become more arrogant, or else he won't be able to hold back his pride..."

  Xiong Wenbin's heart skipped a beat, unsure of what had gone wrong.

  Jiang Tan Qi Ping poured a basin of cold water on his head, and Xiong Wenbin sullenly walked out of the office.

  Kuang Xuetao proposed having lunch together at noon, but Xiong Wenbin cautiously declined. This is the art of serving by a leader's side. Xiong Wenbin didn't have to worry about not having an excuse for Kuang Xuetao, but it was strange that Tan Qiping mentioned Shen Hua being appointed as the Party Secretary of Meixi Town at noon and seemed very happy, so why did his attitude suddenly become cold just two or three hours later?

  Tan Qiping has been in the office all this time and hasn't gone out?

  Xiong Wenbin saw Xiao Wen walking into the secret room and wanted to ask Tan Qiping which calls he made in the afternoon, but felt it was not appropriate.
