Chapter 1018: I Am Calm Days!

When it was time to get off work, Xing Zhijun came to find Tang Ye.

"It's going crazy in the County Party Committee Compound now; they say you're about to be transferred."

Tang Ye patted Xing Zhijun on the shoulder, "Yes, I only received the news a short while ago myself."

Xing Zhijun's face was full of reluctance, "Although I knew your exchange period in Dayu County was only two years, I didn't expect you to leave so soon!"

Tang Ye said helplessly, "There's no help for it. I also wanted to stay in Dayu County, but the organization has other tasks for me. Even though I am leaving, our friendship will not change; we must keep in touch."

A look of determination appeared in Xing Zhijun's eyes, "Alright, let's have dinner together tonight; I'll have Yao Lan get everything ready."

Tang Ye shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I already have plans for tonight."

Xing Zhijun looked at Tang Ye in surprise, "Fine, then let's change it to another time!"

After Xing Zhijun left the office.

Tang Ye opened his computer and logged into his secondary QQ account.

The screen name for the secondary account was "Calm Days," and the profile picture was a photo of a melancholy man, a photo he had found randomly on the internet.

He received a message from the netizen "Yinmo Chen'ai."

"I will be wearing a red dress and a white knit hat on my head."

Tang Ye couldn't help but chuckle, and replied, "I will be wearing a white shirt and holding a Blue Enchantress in my hand."

At 5:30 in the evening, Tang Ye arrived at the pocket park in the City Square.

From afar, he saw a woman wearing a long red dress standing under a tree, her gaze fixed on the entrance.

The moment Li Na saw Tang Ye, her pupils shook violently.

Countless thoughts churned in her mind.

Could "Calm Days" be him?

She had told "Calm Days" so many heartfelt things, and "Calm Days" had always counseled her; his tone was like that of a middle-aged man who had experienced all the vicissitudes of life and was emotionally stable.

How could it possibly be Tang Ye?

Tang Ye walked up to Li Na and took the initiative to reach out his hand, "Yinmo Chen'ai, hello! I am Calm Days."

Li Na shook hands with Tang Ye, suddenly applying force, and her fingernails pinched Tang Ye.

Tang Ye felt the pain and hurriedly pulled his hand back.

Li Na didn't say a word, turned around, and walked away.

Tang Ye hurried to catch up, "Boss Li, don't be angry; I didn't intentionally try to hide it from you. I had always wanted to meet you and then reveal my identity, but you didn't seem willing to meet me."

Li Na stopped in her tracks, looked at Tang Ye angrily, and after being silent for more than ten seconds, she finally calmed her emotions.

"Secretary Tang, is peeking into other people's inner worlds quite interesting? I always treated 'Calm Days' as an emotional outlet and shared everything with you; you disguised yourself too well."

Tang Ye was caught between laughter and tears, "I actually wanted to reveal my identity to you many times, but you didn't seem willing."

Li Na asked, "When did you know that I was Li Na?"

Tang Ye said, "About a week after we met through the drifting bottle, I suppose! You mentioned your father and younger brother, and I knew. However, our relationship was very tense at the time, and I was afraid that if I told you my identity, you would be very repulsed by me. Later, I hinted at whether we should meet, but you rejected it every time."

At this moment, Li Na finally understood.

Why Tang Ye would put aside past grievances to meet her on his own initiative and help her solve one difficult problem after another.

So, Tang Ye wasn't doing this for no reason at all.

It was because she was his netizen!

Looking back on the time they had spent together over these past few months, Li Na felt that it was all very magical.

"Alright, I forgive you," Li Na said with a smile, "I can only say that I was too naive."

Tang Ye said with a smile, "On the internet, you are indeed very simple."

Li Na sighed, "Because I felt that on the internet, many people are just passing acquaintances who would never meet in this lifetime. I can only say that fate is truly hard to explain."

Tang Ye laughed, "Let's go, I'll treat you to dinner; let's talk while we eat."

They arrived at a nearby restaurant.

Once the food was on the table, Li Na picked up her teacup, "I've figured it out now, why you insisted on meeting me. It's because you are about to be transferred away from Dayu County soon. I will use tea in place of wine to wish you a bright future."

Tang Ye picked up his teacup and clinked it with Li Na's, "Thank you for your well wishes, and I also wish you success in your next few projects. Although I am leaving Dayu County, you are still my netizen; if you have any difficulties or encounter any emotional troubles, I am always willing to be someone you can confide in."

Li Na took a sip of tea, and suddenly her nose felt sore, and tears streamed down from the corners of her eyes.

"I'm sorry, I lost my composure."

Tang Ye said with a smile, "No need to say sorry; today is a great day for us netizens to meet. There is surprise, nostalgia, reluctance, and lingering attachment; our fate is mixed with all kinds of emotions, which is indeed hard to digest all at once."

Li Na wiped away her tears, "After we finish eating, what shall we do?"

"Let's watch a movie!" Tang Ye said softly, "Didn't you say that it's been a long time since anyone accompanied you to watch a movie? Today, I will accompany you."

Li Na nodded, moved, "That's a good idea; let's go watch a movie together."

After finishing their meal, Tang Ye and Li Na walked into the cinema.

Li Na was actually a bit worried in her heart, afraid of being bumped into by someone.

But, Tang Ye acted magnanimously, and Li Na realized she had been overly nervous.

Before meeting Tang Ye, Li Na had done a lot of psychological preparation.

She was very confident in her appearance, but she had worries about netizens.

What if the other person was a greasy middle-aged uncle in his forties?

She had prepared to find an excuse to leave immediately after eating.

Of course, she had also had other thoughts.

If she met a netizen she found agreeable, they would eat, watch a movie, eat popcorn, drink iced beverages, and finally go to a hotel...

However, after seeing Tang Ye, Li Na found that all those messy thoughts had been swept away.

The next morning.

The personnel notice regarding Tang Ye came down.

Tang Ye was removed from his position as Deputy County Party Secretary of Dayu County.

As for where Tang Ye would be going, it had not been directly announced yet.

Tang Ye received a call from Fang Chengxin.

"The document has already been issued; I am quite reluctant to see you go."

Tang Ye laughed, "Brother Fang, I am also very reluctant; why don't you help me lobby for it?"

Fang Chengxin laughed heartily, "I don't have that kind of ability!"

He suddenly lowered his voice, "Although there is much reluctance, I must admit that for you, this is a good opportunity. The poverty alleviation work in Dayu County has basically settled; if you continue to stay, returning to Huai Province would only mean a change in rank. Adjusting your rank early now to welcome a new post actually shortens your training time. Time is too precious for a young cadre."

Tang Ye's expression was somewhat wistful, "The poverty alleviation work in Dayu County has only just shown some improvement. From the perspective of the stability of the Government, my departure will add some uncertain factors."

Tang Ye was not a deity; he could not remain completely indifferent to power.

Now that he was suddenly asked to give up everything he currently had, he still felt some reluctance in his heart.

"It seems you still have some feelings about this," Fang Chengxin sighed. "The current situation in Dayu was built bit by bit through your hard work. Now that results are about to show, being asked to leave—if it were me, I would have feelings about it too."

"However, you must also trust the organization. Your actions in Dayu County, in Yanzhou, and in Shaan Province—both your contributions and your toil—I am very clear about, and the leaders are very clear about as well."

Tang Ye sighed with emotion, "Director Fang, with these words from you, I feel reassured."

Fang Chengxin smiled and emphasized, "These words were not said by me; they were said by the leaders."
