Chapter 90 Finding My Uncle (1)
Chapter 90 Finding My Uncle (1)
More than an hour later, Luo Ning swaggered into the city government building, munching on an apple, as if he were walking through his own vegetable garden.
In her past life, she had been to all sorts of places on missions, and government agencies were nothing to her; she could handle them!
"Hey, hey, you fat girl, stop right there!" The old man guarding the gate had sharp eyes and didn't let Luo Ning, this little punk, get away. He caught her in time.
You're the fat one, your whole family is fat! This responsible old man is so annoying, always bringing up the wrong thing.
"What do you want? Can't you see I'm busy?" Luo Ning turned around, munching on an apple and shaking her leg, glancing sideways at the old man.
She sets up her own stage and performs herself; now she's making a cameo appearance as a relative of a powerful person.
The old man's face darkened. This chubby girl clearly wasn't a good person. "Do you know where you are? How dare you wander in like this!"
"Yes, I know. My uncle works here. I'm here to see him!" Luo Ning said with absolute certainty.
"Who?" The old man looked at the chubby girl with suspicion. Judging from her plump figure and her responses, she didn't seem to come from an ordinary family. He inexplicably believed her a little.
The old man has been stationed at the entrance of the municipal government for many years and has seen all kinds of people. He boasts that he has a certain ability to judge people.
"Huo Lifeng!" Luo Ning blurted out. She knew about Huo Lifeng because of Xie Chang'an.
Huo Lifeng sat on the sidelines as the top official in Jiangbei City for five or six years before being transferred to the same military unit as Xie Chang'an.
"My name is Luo Ning, and Huo Liting sent me!" Luo Ning said, spouting nonsense with a straight face.
Huo Lifeng's older sister is Huo Liting, and he was raised by Huo Liting.
The old man glanced at Luo Ning and hurriedly went to the guardhouse to make a phone call.
Luo Ning's heart pounded with anxiety; he was about to be exposed.
Let's run away. It would be too embarrassing to be caught on the spot. She can come over when Huo Lifeng is working overtime tonight.
Huo Lifeng worked overtime every single day of the year, and his hard work naturally resulted in many achievements. His biggest achievement came three years later, after which he was once again valued by his superiors...
I made a mistake today, oh dear! Luo Ning, get on your whirlwind wheels and don't try to escape.
The old man came out with a smile, "Young lady, you can go in now!"
Huh? You passed so easily? Luo Ning was a little incredulous.
Huo Liting and her daughter are currently in the capital and cannot come over. Besides, Huo Liting's daughter is not named Luo Ning, so there are not that many Luo Nings!
Huo Lifeng must know she's a fake, so why did he still want to see her?
Should I deal with her myself?
No need, isn't that making a mountain out of a molehill? She's just a village girl now, there's no need for a city leader to interrogate her personally.
Luo Ning, lost in thought, carried the woven bag to Huo Lifeng's office and saw Huo Lifeng talking to a leader.
"Director Wei, the goiter problem must be controlled as soon as possible. I hope that our colleagues in the health system can come up with feasible solutions soon!"
"Yes!" The health bureau chief's face was contorted with rage. The entire Jiangbei City was a severely affected area. How could such a large area be controlled? He was at his wit's end.
"Hey," Luo Ning knocked on the door, making his presence known.
"Excuse me, I have to say something!"
Huo Lifeng glanced at Luo Ning. This audacious fat girl had actually tried to fool him. He was determined to teach her a lesson today!
"I have a way to control goiter, but I have one condition!"
The health bureau chief's eyes lit up, but when he turned and saw Luo Ning, his gaze instantly dimmed. Where did this chubby girl come from, spouting such nonsense? She simply doesn't know her place.
A hint of interest flashed in Huo Lifeng's eyes. "Go on!"
This was an agreement. Luo Ning never expected things to go so smoothly. She looked at the dejected health bureau chief and said, "Add iodine to the salt!"
More than a decade later, the nationwide consumption of iodized salt will be enforced as a national policy, much like the family planning policy implemented last year.
Her arrival brought forward the mandatory implementation of this policy; will changing history backfire?
The health bureau chief slammed his fist on the table, so excited he didn't know what to do with his hands and feet. "Great, great, great! This method is brilliant! If this method is implemented, then goiter can be prevented and controlled throughout Jiangbei City!"
Huo Lifeng's eyes lit up, and he immediately beckoned Luo Ning forward, "Luo Ning, come over and sit down so we can talk properly!"
Luo Ning readily agreed and sat down opposite the director of the health bureau. He launched into a long-winded explanation, covering everything from the region and the current situation to how to add iodine and popularize iodized salt, which earned high praise from Huo Lifeng.
After the health bureau chief left with a heavy burden in his heart, Huo Lifeng personally poured Luo Ning a glass of water and placed it in front of her, saying, "I really didn't expect you to have so much knowledge in your head!"
The future life is terrible!
Luo Ning smiled gently, saying it was all a gift from God, thanks to her rebirth.
"Um, shouldn't you honor my terms?"
"You tell me first!" Huo Lifeng took out a lighter, lit a cigarette with a click, and leaned back in his chair.
Unlike dealing with seasoned officials, talking to this girl was much easier, and he unconsciously relaxed.
Moreover, this girl is very knowledgeable, which makes him unconsciously a little curious. She looks very young, so how can she have knowledge that is not commensurate with her age?
Luo Ning took a gift box out of the woven bag, placed it on the table, and pushed it in front of Huo Lifeng. She had made two gift boxes; one was given to Luo Wei, and the other was the one in front of her.
"Let me introduce myself first..."
"Aren't you my niece?" Huo Lifeng said with a smile.
Luo Ning looked embarrassed and coughed lightly, "The main gate was difficult to enter, so I had to make something up. Judging by the looks of it, I succeeded!"
Huo Lifeng nodded, "Then please introduce yourself properly, so I can get to know my niece!"
Secretary, is it fun to be a little mischievous?
Luo Ning cleared her throat and formally introduced herself, "My name is Luo Ning. I come from Qing'an Village, which is under the jurisdiction of Jiangbei City. I am the village beauty. There is a jujube forest in our village. The jujubes that grow there are extremely sour, so sour that they can taste like Song Xiaobao's sourness in a second. So the jujubes just hang on the trees and no one eats them or cares about them."
This year I leased that jujube orchard and plan to make jujube cakes. Here you are, these are the finished products!
Huo Lifeng opened the gift box and saw the crystal-clear jujube cakes inside, which were printed with words. "They look pretty good. Are they edible?"
"Why don't you try it and see! You can eat whatever your niece gives you!" Luo Ning encouraged enthusiastically.
No problem!
Huo Lifeng picked up a jujube cake and stuffed it into his mouth, then couldn't stop eating it! When he came to his senses, he had already eaten half of the jujube cake. He praised it generously, "This is the best pastry I've ever eaten, bar none! You came to see me today just for this jujube cake?"
This jujube cake is exquisite and unique; Huo Lifeng tasted the flavor of his childhood.
Back then, his parents were still alive, and there were only two children in the family, him and his sister. They lived a simple and happy life.
Until that incident broke out, his world was completely turned upside down overnight.
Their father was murdered, and their mother committed suicide out of love, shattering their happy little family.
His younger sister shouldered the burden of the family and raised him together.
My sister suffered a lot in her early years and is in poor health. She has been bedridden for many years and has called me many times saying she wants to see me.
But he had no way to go back. The three-way power struggle, plus his father's old enemies, were all blocking his way back to the capital.
"Yes and no!" Luo Ning answered ambiguously. Huo Lifeng came from a good background, and he spoke highly of jujube cake. Ming also spoke highly of it, not to mention his family. In other words, jujube cake could penetrate every social class, which was a pleasant discovery.
"Oh?" Huo Lifeng's interest was immediately piqued.
"Knock knock knock!" Huo Lifeng's secretary knocked on the door as a reminder.
