Chapter 182 The Old Sick Tiger Ning Weidong returned home and Ning Wei came soon after. Ning Weidong had known that he would come. After all, he had just been ordered to do something, and he must come back to report. Ning Wei was sweating profusely. Ning Weidong said: "Pour yourself some water." Ning Wei let out an "ah" and didn't seem shy when he came to Ning Weidong's place. He poured himself a glass of boiled water and drank it in two gulps. Ning Weidong asked: "Is everything arranged?" Ning Wei said: "It's arranged. Let her live in our company's dormitory first." Now Ning Wei was transferred to Dongyi Company. Since there were not many people there, Wang Xueming and Zhao Chunlei had originally followed Ning Wei. In addition, Ning Wei had a good relationship with Ning Weidong, so they became the managers as soon as they arrived there. Zhao Ruyu is responsible for making decisions on daily matters, big and small, in the company, while Ning Wei is responsible for carrying out the specific tasks.

This allowed Ning Wei to gain control of many resources invisibly. Just like the arrangement of Shi Xiaonan this time. In order to expand the company's staff in the future, Zhao Ruyu asked Ning Wei to rent a house nearby in the name of the company. Although there is no shortage of housing in Beijing, it is still relatively easy to rent a house if it is a public-to-public relationship. It’s just that it’s hard to find a concentrated courtyard or building, there are only a few scattered rooms. This time, Ning Wei arranged Shi Xiaonan to live in a tube-shaped building near Nanluoguxiang. There were three rooms rented in that building. Zhao Ruyu originally planned to recruit a few people who were familiar with finance, preferably technical secondary school students. She didn't dare to think about being a college student. Nowadays, colleges are also universities. All colleges are chosen by the chosen ones. They will be cadres after graduation, and there are not enough places for them in government agencies and state-owned factories. But the results were not satisfactory. We didn’t even recruit a single technical secondary school student in more than a month. So these dormitories are all empty, just right for Shi Xiaonan to stay temporarily. As for Zhao Ruyu, Ning Wei is usually in charge of these matters and Zhao Ruyu never asks about them. Ning Weidong nodded: "That's it for now." Ning Wei responded and said, "By the way, when I came back just now, she asked me to tell you to take time to go there tomorrow." Ning Weidong frowned: "What did she say?" Ning Wei said: "I asked her, but she refused to tell me. She only told me in person." Ning Weidong felt confused and didn't know what Shi Xiaonan was up to. However, I couldn't get anything out of Ning Wei, so I let him go back first. After Ning Wei left, Ning Weidong took out a cigarette, lit it and wondered what Shi Xiaonan meant. But I couldn’t think of it, so I just stopped thinking about it.

Given Shi Xiaonan's situation, it's probably impossible for him to do anything fancy. …… At the same time, at the Bai family next door. The TV was on, Bai Fengyu was doing needlework, and Bai Fengqin was helping her, looking out the window from time to time. Watching Ning Wei leave, she whispered, "Sister, did something happen? Brother Weidong went out in a hurry just now, and Ning Wei came here too?" Bai Fengyu looked at the needle and thread in her hand, without raising her head, and said calmly: "What happened? How can we help?" Bai Fengqin choked. That was indeed the truth. What could they do if even Ning Weidong couldn't solve the problem? Bai Fengyu added: "Fengqin, you will be going to college in just over a month. Be more careful when you are out there and think twice before you act." Bai Fengqin said "hmm". Bai Fengyu continued, "Also, when you meet someone, especially a man, you have to be more careful, okay? No matter what sweet words they say, you have to know what they want from you." Bai Fengqin understood what these words meant. They were telling her not to let anyone take advantage of her. She pouted and muttered quietly: "I don't like those stupid boys~" Bai Fengyu raised her head: "What?" Bai Fengqin quickly avoided her sight: "No, by the way, sister, when I leave, what will you do alone?" Bai Fengyu paused, then continued to work, lowered her head and said, "Whatever happens, just live your life as it should~" Bai Fengqin asked indirectly, "Sister, you are only in your twenties. Is this really how your life will be?" Bai Fengyu was silent for a few seconds before she said, "What else can we do?" Bai Fengqin asked: "No one introduced you?" Bai Fengyu raised her head and rolled her eyes: "What nonsense are you talking about, you little bitch~" Although Bai Fengqin knew the relationship between Bai Fengyu and Ning Weidong, Bai Fengyu herself was still not sure. Bai Fengqin said, "I'm not talking nonsense~" and moved closer to Bai Fengyu, "I mean, you should think more about yourself. If the man surnamed Ma runs away, there will be no news. You don't even have a child, what are you still waiting for him for?" Bai Fengyu said: "Who said I was waiting for him? It's just... there's no one suitable." Bai Fengqin had no other thoughts but worrying about Bai Fengyu's future. She was truly grateful to her cousin. If Bai Fengyu hadn't taken her in, her family's situation would have made it impossible for her to have the opportunity to get into college. Bai Fengyu helped her at the most critical moment. But when I think about going to another province to study at university, I don’t know where I will be assigned to work after graduation, and I don’t know whether I can return to Beijing. I can't help but worry about Bai Fengyu's future life. ... The next day, Ning Weidong got up early and went to work.

Not long after I arrived at the unit, Li Peihang came. "Brother Li~" Ning Weidong stood up and greeted him: "How come you have time to come to my place so early in the morning?" Li Peihang sighed and sat down on the sofa: "Well, nothing to do, come over and take a look." Ning Weidong smiled and said, "That's just right. I made some good tea a few days ago. Let's brew some for you two to try today." Li Peihang smiled and said, "Your sister-in-law brought it to you, right~" Ning Weidong didn't comment and was busy getting the tea leaves. Li Peihang asked, "By the way, my sister-in-law was transferred to the Machinery Bureau and started a trading company. How is it going?" Li Peihang knew about Zhao Ruyu's transfer. Ning Weidong said: "It's okay~ Brother Li, are you interested and want to do some side business?" Li Peihang smiled and did not deny it. He leaned back on the sofa and said, "In the current situation, my uncle is determined to support Chu Chengfu, and Wang Guoqiang has also stabilized his position. I have no hope." Ning Weidong could sense that he was feeling frustrated and it seemed that he wanted to settle for the second best and get some tangible benefits. Ning Weidong brewed some tea and placed a cup in front of Li Peihang: "I think it's right for you to think so, Brother Li. The situation has changed now..." Li Peihang frowned and said, "Do you think it can really reach that point?" Ning Weidong picked up the teacup and said calmly: "Brother Li, whether it can reach that point, it is useless for you to ask me, what are you looking at some people doing?" Li Peihang fell silent. He was considered half a member of a large courtyard and had some knowledge of the situation. Before, they took advantage of the factory to get some scrap steel, but they felt nervous. But compared with those who are getting approvals nowadays, that little bit of money is simply not worth mentioning. What made him even more excited was that, as Ning Weidong had just said, he now knew or was aware of many people of similar status to Li Yuanchao who were doing this. If Li Peihang still had hope in his career before, he would not have had any other thoughts. Now his career is hopeless. Last time, he did not listen to Li Weibing's advice at the critical moment and deliberately held Chu Chengfu back, which has already angered Li Weibing. What’s even more terrible is that, because of Deputy Factory Director Liu, the struggle between Wang Guoqiang and Chu Chengfu did not result in a winner, nor did it end in a situation where both sides suffered losses. This is what makes Li Peihang most helpless and embarrassed. Li Peihang reached out and grabbed the cup in front of him. He took a sip but could not taste anything. "Brother, I understand. That... I have a brother-in-law. I will ask him to go to my sister-in-law's place to see her later." Ning Weidong smiled. It seemed that Li Peihang had already thought about it and came here today just to see Ning Weidong's attitude. However, given the relationship between him and Ning Weidong, he would surely not shirk his responsibility. This can also help Ning Weidong and Zhao Ruyu's company make money. Ning Weidong said: "That's great~ I'll call Ruyi later." Having said that, neither of them said anything further.

The subsequent cooperation will be discussed by Zhao Ruyu and Li Peihang's brother-in-law, and there is no need for them to talk about it in detail. If there is really too much or too little, the struggle for interests will be too petty and it will only make you look bad. After Li Peihang left, Ning Weidong sat back at his desk. He didn't rush to look at the correspondence course materials for junior college. He was thinking about the impact of Li Peihang's actions on the Red Star Factory. Previously, because Li Weibing had to retreat to the second line, Wang Guoqiang, Chu Chengfu and Li Peihang were left, which seemed like a three-way confrontation. However, Li Peihang and Chu Chengfu divided Li Weibing's power into two. Neither of them could compete with Wan Guoqiang alone, and cooperation seemed unlikely. The situation was very delicate. Now that Li Peihang is about to withdraw, it becomes a game between Wan Guoqiang and Chu Chengfu, and behind Chu Chengfu is Li Weibing. Ning Weidong couldn't help but let out a "tsk". I had always thought that Li Peihang was short-sighted and of average ability. If he wasn't Li Weibing's nephew, he wouldn't be in his current position. But now it seems that this is not an ordinary thing. It is not something that ordinary people can do to make up their minds to extricate themselves from it. …… At the same time, in the factory director's office on the fifth floor. Li Weibing sat on the reception sofa, smoking while listening to his secretary's report: "Director, Director Li just went to Ning Weidong's office..." Li Weibing narrowed his eyes slightly, because his eyes were a little cloudy due to his old age. The sunlight outside shone in through the treetops outside the window, casting mottled light and shadows, making Li Weibing feel lazy, like an old sick tiger. After listening to it, he just said "hmm" without commenting and that was all. The secretary didn't say anything else. After a while, Li Weibing finished his cigarette, sighed and said, "He is not crazy yet." The secretary knew that Li Weibing was talking about Li Peihang, and also knew that the uncle and nephew had a fierce verbal conflict two days ago. Li Peihang, who was usually well-behaved, spoke back directly, venting the dissatisfaction that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time. But after all, they are uncle and nephew, and even if their bones are broken, their tendons are still connected. After that, Li Peihang finally did not act on his own and followed Li Weibing's arrangements, giving up his power in the factory and concentrating resources on Chu Chengfu. Li Peihang continued, "Tell Xiao Ge later and ask him to take some time to visit Ning Weidong's company." (End of this chapter)
