Chapter 181 Can you believe this? Ning Weidong had no time to explain Shi Xiaonan's stubbornness. Anyway, he had already said it, but Shi Xiaonan just didn't listen. Ning Weidong was also a little curious about what Shi Xiaonan meant by blocking him here. He glanced over and saw that Shi Xiaonan had empty hands and was not holding anything. If it's just a simple thank you, it's up to you whether Ning Weidong will accept the gift or not, but you should at least show some appreciation. In theory, Shi Xiaonan is not the kind of person who lacks tact. Ning Weidong guessed that Shi Xiaonan must have something else to talk to him about. Sure enough, Shi Xiaonan stammered: "Well, I, I don't have anything to do either." Ning Weidong frowned and said in a deep voice: "Sister Shi, you have thanked me. If there is nothing else, I will go back first."

As he was about to leave, Shi Xiaonan hurriedly said, "Weidong, wait a minute~ I... I have something to do." Ning Weidong didn't really want to leave. He could see that Shi Xiaonan was waiting for him specially. If the problem was not solved, he would have to come again in the future. Ning Weidong turned around and said with a smile: "Sister Shi, look, if you have any problem, just tell me. We are old neighbors and have lived in the same courtyard. If I can help, I will definitely do my best to help." Shi Xiaonan licked her lips and felt a little embarrassed to speak, but at this point, she really had no choice. Although he was released, the incident with Section Chief Zhang still had an impact. Not to mention anything else, just work alone is a problem. Her family knows her own business, and she is lucky enough to be classified as being coerced this time. After leaving the bureau and returning to the troupe, problems arose. Although this matter has been kept confidential to a certain extent, their leaders have been contacted for investigation. The troupe leaders knew some of the situation and were afraid to use Shi Xiaonan even after she came out. Moreover, Shi Xiaonan herself is not a formal staff member. She was originally chosen because people saw that she really has kung fu skills and can hold up the stage. In addition, Shi Xiaonan's master was once a famous actor in Beijing, so he could be used for publicity and ticket sales. In fact, Shi Xiaonan was just a temporary worker. This is why she tried every possible means to secure a spot to perform in Hong Kong. As long as she seizes this opportunity, it would be like being gilded with a layer of gold, leaving her current small troupe and stepping onto a bigger stage. pity…… After this time, the theater troupe no longer dared to accept her, for fear of getting into trouble. Shi Xiaonan lost her job, which made her panic. The reason why she dared to divorce Wang Kai before was that she had a job and could support herself. It's all over now.

As for Wang Kai, things have come to this point and it is impossible for the two to reconcile. Shi Xiaonan has been running around these past two days, meeting many of his former friends and colleagues, trying to find another place. But this era is different from the future, and it is not so easy to find a job. What's more, the circle in which they perform opera is not big. Many people saw Shi Xiaonan being taken away by the police, and because it was kept confidential and there was no clear explanation, many rumors spread. Some of the people who used to have a good relationship with her now keep their distance from her, not to mention work. There was a small theatre troupe and everything was going well at first, but the next day they told her not to go. Shi Xiaonan immediately guessed that the troupe leader must have inquired about the situation privately and found out some information, so he didn't dare to hire her. Shi Xiaonan had no choice but to think of Ning Weidong. This time, in addition to thanking Ning Weidong, I also came to ask for help. Ning Weidong felt a little uncomfortable. He had known that Shi Xiaonan might be a trouble and had never wanted to get involved with her. I didn't expect that I would get involved after all the twists and turns. But he couldn't refuse her sternly. There was no need to say anything else. If he said something harsh, Shi Xiaonan would cry in the street and he wouldn't be able to explain it. As for just turning away with his sleeves rolled up, Shi Xiaonan had already regarded him as a life-saving straw, and pulling him would only make things worse. Ning Weidong thought for a moment and said, "Sister Shi, don't worry. What urgent difficulties do you have?" Shi Xiaonan breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that Ning Weidong would just turn his face away or just leave without saying a word. If that happened, she really didn't know how to live. Shi Xiaonan whispered: "Well, can you lend me some money first?" Ning Weidong was stunned. He didn't expect Shi Xiaonan to ask for money first. But on second thought, it doesn't seem strange. Shi Xiaonan really has no money. Although the income from singing opera is not low, it also requires a process of accumulation. Shi Xiaonan separated from Wang Kai and almost left the house with nothing in order to find a way to divorce. After that, it’s only a few months, and even if you earn a lot, how much can you save? What's more, in their circle, there are various expenses that are not small. Shi Xiaonan in particular has some artistic pursuits. Since he moved out of the courtyard and got rid of the constraints of family, he has devoted himself to his work. She racked her brains to rehearse the new play. It's all her spare time, so it's okay for her.

But sometimes, rehearsals require other people in the group to stay up late as well. It's okay if it happens once or twice, but I won't be able to do it for a long time. Every now and then, I have to treat people to a meal, which is another expense. If everything goes well, Shi Xiaonan won't have any problems. She may even make more money when her new play comes out and becomes famous. However, no one expected that she would encounter the current predicament. On the contrary, Ning Weidong breathed a sigh of relief. For him, problems that could be solved with money were really not a problem. After starting the company with Zhao Ruyu, Ning Weidong became financially independent. The few dozen dollars he earned from work was completely meaningless to him. Not to mention anything else, just from the few orders that Wang Kaixuan took out a while ago, he earned 6,700 yuan himself, but only 30%. The remaining 70% goes into the company's account. After deducting some operating costs, Ning Weidong and Zhao Ruyu can earn at least 10,000 yuan. This is pure profit. Ning Weidong asked: "How much do you need?" Shi Xiaonan was stunned for a moment. In fact, when she opened her mouth, she was prepared to be rejected by Ning Weidong. If she hadn't been really desperate, she wouldn't have come to Ning Weidong. Unexpectedly, Ning Weidong agreed immediately and asked her directly how much she wanted. Shi Xiaonan's mind went blank for a moment, and she didn't even know how much to say. In her mind, Ning Weidong had only been the section chief for a short time, and even though his salary was not low, he didn't have much savings. What's more, I heard that you are getting married soon, so you probably won't be able to come up with much money. "That~" Shi Xiaonan thought for a moment before hesitating, "That one hundred yuan, I will definitely..." Without waiting for her to continue, Ning Weidong said directly: "Okay, where are you living now? I'll have someone send it to you tomorrow." Shi Xiaonan opened his mouth but said nothing for a long time. Ning Weidong frowned and asked, "Is it not enough?" Shi Xiaonan quickly shook her head: "No, I...I don't know if I can still live there tomorrow." It turned out that Shi Xiaonan had moved out of the courtyard and lived in the dormitory arranged by the troupe. Now that she is no longer a member of the troupe, she naturally cannot continue to occupy the dormitory. This is another reason why Shi Xiaonan is so embarrassed. If she can't get more money and find a way to change her place of residence, she will become homeless. After asking about the situation, Ning Weidong couldn't help but sigh in his heart that this woman's luck was really bad. It was also Shi Xiaonan's own character flaw. He took things for granted and had no money left to cross the river, so he blocked his own way.

Furthermore, in this era, it is really difficult to survive alone without a family or a workplace. This is still an age of collectivism. Ning Weidong thought for a moment and said, "Forget it. I'll just wait here for now." After saying this, without waiting for Shi Xiaonan to respond, he turned around and went back to the yard. If a person is beautiful, he or she can be treated well in many cases. Looking at Shi Xiaonan's current appearance, one can feel even more pity for her. Ning Weidong returned home and was about to get his bicycle. Bai Fengqin saw him from inside the house and came out to ask, "Brother Weidong, you're going out again~" Ning Weidong responded: "Yeah, I have something to do. I will be back soon." After saying that, he pushed his bicycle out of the compound and came to the alley where he had just met Shi Xiaonan. He straddled the bicycle and motioned for her to get on. Shi Xiaonan didn't want to meet anyone he knew, so he quickly sat on it. Ning Weidong rode his bike north along the alley and soon arrived near Ning Wei's home. He stopped in advance and said, "Sister Shi, please come down and wait for me~" Shi Xiaonan didn't know what he meant, so she could only obey him. Ning Weidong went to call Ning Wei out. Ning Wei knew Shi Xiaonan and knew about Shi Xiaonan's situation. Ning Weidong had arranged everything at his home, and then he came to Shi Xiaonan and said, "Sister Shi, go with Xiaowei, he will help you arrange a place to stay first, and we can talk about other things later." When she saw Ning Weidong bringing people over just now, she felt a little nervous and didn't know what it meant. I didn’t expect Ning Weidong to make such arrangements, and I wanted to say something. Ning Weidong has already gotten on his bike and left. Ning Wei was the only one left, standing more than one meter away from her. Shi Xiaonan nodded awkwardly: "Um, hello, Comrade Xiaowei~" Ning Weidong nodded without saying anything, he was also confused. It’s not anything else, the main reason is that I’m not sure about the relationship between Ning Weidong and Shi Xiaonan. Although Ning Weidong just said that it has nothing to do with Shi Xiaonan, can this be believed? The woman in front of me is so beautiful. Even though she looks haggard and emaciated now, it can't hide her beauty and figure. Ning Wei did not dare to neglect: "Sister Shi, you are too polite. Third brother just told me. Don't worry, leave it to me." Shi Xiaonan nodded and thanked him again. ……

On the other side, Ning Weidong rode his bike back, but did not go directly home. He first went to the entrance of the alley and called Chu Zhongxin on the public phone in the grocery store to ask about Shi Xiaonan's situation. We can't just listen to Shi Xiaonan's one-sided story. Chu Zhongxin was slightly surprised: "Weidong, are you still in contact with this woman?" Ning Wei said: "Hey, aren't we from the same courtyard? He just came to me for help, and I don't know the details." Chu Zhongxin thought for a moment and said, "She is fine. The higher-ups have already determined that she was coerced. But you should also be careful. I have seen that woman before. It is easy to be misunderstood." Ning Weidong knew that he was referring to Shi Xiaonan's appearance. However, Chu Zhongxin's words could dispel many doubts, and he replied: "Fourth brother, don't worry, I know what's going on." The two chatted for a few more minutes and then ended the call. (End of this chapter)
