Chapter 12 Cooperation "There's no good tea at home~" An Ning brewed a pot of tea, and took a plate to get some melon seeds and peanuts from the high and low cabinets next to her. It can be seen that Wang Jingsheng lives a good life, which is one of the reasons why Ning Weidong came to find him. "You guys chat~" An Ning entertained everyone as the hostess and then took the initiative to go back to the inner room. Wang Jingsheng just giggled throughout the whole process and didn't say much. When An Ning returned to the inner room, Ning Weidong teased, "Okay, you got such a beautiful wife." Wang Jingsheng felt tickled and looked very pleased with himself. Ning Weidong praised him briefly and then turned to talk about the situation in recent years. Ning Weidong drank tea and cracked open a peanut: "By the way, Lao Wang, what are you doing now?" At the beginning, Wang Jingsheng refused to go to the countryside, which made him a typical backward element, so he had no chance of being assigned a job. When this was mentioned, Wang Jingsheng pursed his lips, his spirits dropped, and he slapped his thigh and said, "What can I do? I'll just hang around all day. What about you? Where were you assigned after you came back?"

Ning Weidong heard that he was unwilling to reveal anything and guessed that there must be something fishy. Judging from the furnishings in his home, Wang Jingsheng's living conditions are not bad, but he doesn't have a proper job. Where does his money come from? It's obvious that this is most likely not the right way. Ning Weidong knew what was going on, so he didn't ask any more questions. He replied, "It was distributed to the Red Star Steel Plant." Wang Jingsheng raised his voice slightly: "What a great company!" Ning Weidong said, "Well, what's good or bad about it? It's just a big group, and the monthly salary is about 20 yuan." Wang Jingsheng said, "Fuck, you're still not satisfied? Do you know what the situation is like outside? Your job is not worth it, even a thousand yuan won't be enough." Ning Weidong smiled and shook his head: "It's not that weird." Wang Jingsheng asked, "By the way, how did you get to the Red Star Factory? Don't say you were lucky and got assigned there." Ning Weidong was waiting for this, and said casually: "My eldest brother did it for me." "Brother Weiguo?" Wang Jingsheng was slightly surprised. He had not been in contact with the Ning family for many years and did not know the situation of the Ning family. "Brother Weiguo is very capable!" Ning Weidong said casually: "What? Just a small section chief in the Machinery Bureau..." In fact, he deliberately exposed his background. First of all, he had a formal job with a monthly salary of nearly twenty dollars. Second, Ning Weiguo was the section chief of the Machinery Bureau. With these two endorsements, it will be easier to talk about what follows. Sure enough, Wang Jingsheng's expression changed slightly when he heard it. Even though Ning Weidong said it lightly, there was a hint of contempt in his tone. But in Wang Jingsheng's opinion, Ning Weiguo, the section chief, is no simple person. Under the current situation, it is not something that an ordinary section chief can do to implement Ning Weidong's work at the Red Star Steel Plant. Ning Weidong took a sip of water and started talking about something else. It can be clearly felt that Wang Jingsheng's attitude has become more enthusiastic and attentive.

The two chatted enthusiastically for nearly half an hour. Ning Weidong felt that the time was right and finally got to the point: "Lao Wang, Brother Qi's matter..." When this was mentioned, Wang Jingsheng's face changed, and he didn't know what Ning Weidong meant. He was most afraid of Ning Weidong, this young man, who wanted to avenge the Qi family for the so-called brotherhood. If you look for him because of this, it will be a big trouble. Wang Jingsheng didn't know what Ning Weidong meant, so he didn't know how to respond. Ning Weidong was possessed by a spirit of drama, with a sad face: "Brother Qi died tragically! It's a pity that I wasn't home at the time." The corner of Wang Jingsheng's mouth twitched, and he continued to listen with his mouth shut. However, Ning Weidong suddenly changed the subject: "By the way, those things in Brother Qi's hand..." Wang Jingsheng blinked and suddenly realized. It turned out that I was thinking wrongly. Ning Weidong came here for this! My heart beat faster. At the beginning, they were the most noisy when following Qi Jia, and they did all kinds of things. Once, when they raided an old capitalist's house, they found more than twenty watches alone in his cellar, as well as silver dollars, yellow croakers, and various calligraphy and painting antiques. But I was young at the time and didn't understand any of this. After dividing the things, I just sold them without paying any attention to the price. I got them for free anyway, so three or five dollars was the most I could get. The original owner was like this, muddle-headed every day, never thinking about the future. Wang Jingsheng was considered to be quite smart and had saved up some money. Otherwise, given his situation, it would be impossible for him to live such a comfortable life. At the same time, he also knew that Qi Jia had a lot of good things. But where those things were hidden became a mystery after Qi Jia's death. It's not that no one has looked for him. After Qi Jiazui's death, several people around him who knew some of the inside story looked for him, including Wang Jingsheng, who also participated in the search, but in the end all their efforts were in vain. Today, Ning Weidong brought up the old matter again, which made him feel moved. Could it be that Ning Weidong knew some clues? As this thought came to his mind, Wang Jingsheng felt that it was more and more possible. The biggest reason was that Ning Weidong lived closest to Qi Jia. There were some things that other people could not discover, but Ning Weidong might discover them. "Do you know where those things are hidden?" Wang Jingsheng suddenly leaned his head close to Ning Weidong, and his spit almost sprayed on his face. Ning Weidong leaned back and said with a smile: "Look at you, what are you so excited about~" Wang Jingsheng came to his senses and realized that he had overreacted. He smiled awkwardly, but then changed his mind and decided not to hide it. He said calmly, "Dongzi, let's be frank. Isn't this the reason you came to see me today?" Unexpectedly, Ning Weidong shook his head and said, "It's really not!" Wang Jingsheng was stunned. He was so sure about it, could he have guessed wrong? It was a natural thing, Ning Weidong said: "I came here to ask for your help!" Wang Jingsheng blinked his eyes. He had been working hard in the past few years. Although he was not very old, he was an old hand. I couldn't help but take a deep look at my childhood friend who was sitting in front of me.

He is no longer the original Wang Jingsheng these years, and the person in front of him is no longer the young man he used to be. Wang Jingsheng pursed his lips and asked, "What can I do for you?" Ning Weidong didn't waste any words and said simply: "Borrow money, one hundred." Wang Jingsheng frowned. He didn't expect that this was what Ning Weidong meant by help. One hundred dollars is not a small amount, but it is not too much either. The reason why Ning Weidong did this was not because he really needed the hundred dollars. It's about rationalizing everything. A friend who I haven't contacted for several years suddenly comes to me and offers me a huge benefit. Who wouldn't be worried when encountering such a situation? What is going on? Is there any ulterior motive? Is there any other purpose? This kind of doubt cannot be explained with words. Ning Weidong simply gave an answer, stop guessing, I just want to borrow money from you. Then he said, "I have something to do outside, and I don't want my elder brother to know. If he knows, he will nag me again..." Wang Jingsheng said "tsk tsk" twice and thought to himself, so that's how it is. (End of this chapter)
