1979 My Life in the Era

Chapter 229: Have you read Dream of the Red Chamber?

Chapter 229 Have you read Dream of the Red Chamber? After listening to Ning Weidong, An Zhicheng stood up without caring about his image, and excitedly turned around twice on the ground. He suddenly stopped and looked at Ning Weidong. He opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't say it. He turned around twice more before pulling the chair towards Ning Weidong: "Your method is amazing!" Ning Weidong smiled, but in fact he was not as exaggerated as An Zhicheng. Although building an assembly plant may give it a shiny appearance, everyone knows what is inside. The key to the problem is actually what Ning Weidong just said, that everyone from top to bottom must be satisfied. If it is just a spontaneous s-market, something that cannot be put on the table, and the interests are all local, what do you want the higher-ups to think? You guys made all the money, took all the benefits, and I deserve to starve. If we don't destroy this kind of place immediately, will we keep it here? Ning Weidong simply built a factory and left some space. The factory should pay taxes and hand over profits as it should. No one, central or local, can say anything. Locally, it directly creates jobs and drives local economic development. If he could achieve all three of these goals, Ning Weidong didn't believe that anyone would dare to touch his factory.

And this is just on the surface. Ning Weidong’s real idea is to start the copycat mode in advance. Any manufacturing powerhouse started out as a copycat. The earliest independent country copied Britain, Ame copied the independent country, Japan copied Ame, South Korea copied Japan, until the last China. It was twenty years later before it was China's turn, but Ning Weidong couldn't wait. He had to build the factory first. At the beginning, he would obtain core components from Japan through large-scale processing, and then carry out small-scale supporting and assembly production in conjunction with China's own electronic industrial base. The shells of the TV and tape recorder were also copied, to be exactly the same. This is the first step. The second step is to use domestic research institutes to replicate some core components... However, Ning Weidong would not tell An Zhicheng about his subsequent ideas. The first step of building a factory and assembling it was enough to tie the An family to this ship. After the excitement, An Zhicheng calmed down and began to think about the possible drawbacks and loopholes of this plan. An Zhicheng took a deep breath and asked, "Excuse me, if it's just a simple business, the costs are obvious, it's nothing more than purchasing, logistics, channels, risks, etc., but if you want to build a factory..." Ning Weidong smiled and said, "Of course, the cost and investment of doing this is greater than simply walking in an S-shaped way, but you have to admit that this is safer." "Indeed~" An Zhicheng nodded in agreement. Ning Weidong continued: "Besides, our identities determine that there are some things we cannot do. I don't care about other people, but my friends and I must have a bottom line. What was the purpose of our fathers and grandfathers who were not afraid of sacrifice and fought bravely to conquer the world?" Ning Weidong looked serious when he said this. An Zhicheng remained silent. He didn't dare to comment on this casually, for fear that he would offend Ning Weidong to death if he said something wrong. However, he caught a key word in Ning Weidong's words - we. An Zhicheng quickly thought in his mind, who is this "we" referring to? It could be Ning Weidong and Zhao Ruyu, but An Zhicheng thinks it’s not that simple. "That's natural, that's natural." An Zhicheng echoed, "What I mean is, if we build a factory... how do we allocate the initial investment and the later shares?"

Ning Weidong had been waiting for him to ask this, and he said calmly, "I have two ideas about this. You can discuss them with your elders when you return." An Zhicheng perked up and listened carefully, and An Ning beside him also pricked up his ears. Ning Weidong said: "The first option is that you, the An family, will only be responsible for the affairs in the East Ocean and on the sea, and you can bring the parts I need and make a profit from the difference..." An Zhicheng frowned slightly. This was still a simple move, except that the finished product had been changed into an accessory, which meant that building a factory had nothing to do with them. The advantages of this are low cost, quick money making, and the ability to avoid some risks. The disadvantage is that there is no mandatory binding force with Ning Weidong, it is just a business relationship. They can settle down or replace him with someone else. This is not what the An family wants. An Zhicheng asked: "What about the second one~" Ning Weidong said: "The second option is that we can allow you to invest in our newly built factory..." An Zhicheng breathed a sigh of relief; this was exactly what he wanted. Since ancient times, if businessmen want to expand their business, they must be tied to power. But he was not satisfied and asked, "Only one share?" An Zhicheng didn't ask how much one share cost. To the An family, one share is worth any price. Ning Weidong glanced at him and asked, "How many shares do you want?" Generally speaking, unless otherwise specified, one share means a 10% stake. An Zhicheng thought for a moment and said, "If possible, our An family can own three shares, and we can provide the capital for the factory construction." An Zhicheng proposed this condition after careful consideration, and he thought it was not excessive. Thirty percent of the shares, full investment, full sincerity. However, Ning Weidong shook his head and said, "No, I can only give you 15% at most. This is not about money. If you give more, I won't have enough to share." An Zhicheng's heart moved. In fact, when he proposed 30%, he also had some tentative intentions. Who exactly was the "we" that Ning Weidong mentioned just now? Ning Weidong took advantage of the situation and said, "Comrade Zhicheng, you don't think that such a big thing can be done by me or the Zhao family alone~" An Zhicheng said: "This..." Ning Weidong said, "It's the same old saying. We have to take care of the interests of everyone involved. I won't go into too much detail. I'll just mention one person. You must have known about him before you came here. Li Yuanchao, right?" An Zhicheng was startled and nodded quickly. Whether it was him or An Zhiyuan, their purpose of coming to the capital was to target people like Li Yuanchao. The circle of young men in the capital is so small that Li Yuanchao is considered one of the top ones. Zhou Xiaobai and Liu Bing are slightly inferior to him, and Wang Yuzhen, Tang Wanning and Zhao Ruyu are even inferior to him. Going further down are the marginal and inferior ones. Ning Weidong chuckled and said, "To tell you the truth, Li Yuanchao only owns 20% here. I own 20% on behalf of the Wang and Zhao families, and I give you 15%, which is more than half. The remaining 45% will be divided into 20% for the relevant people in Beijing, and the remaining 25% will be chopped up and given to the people in Handong Province. Where do you think we can squeeze out some money for you to settle down?"

An Zhicheng was speechless. Compared with these, all Anjia can provide is some funds. But will these people be short of money when they get together? Obviously impossible. If they did something inappropriate, their families might not care, but starting a factory together was a serious matter. You can find any bank to solve the funding problem. On the contrary, if they did not have overseas channels to sell goods, their 15% would be the most redundant. An Zhicheng smiled bitterly, but he didn't know that Ning Weidong's words were half true and half false. In fact, up to now, Ning Weidong and Li Yuanchao are the only two people planning to build this factory. When we go to Handong Province in the future, although we will need to introduce some local people, it will not be too many. Ning Weidong has already made up his mind, and Zhao Lichun has decided to go to Nanping County, Jingzhou City, Handong Province to serve as deputy director of the Ge Committee. Ning Weidong’s factory is located in Nanping County. This is beneficial to both parties. Ning Weidong is directly under the supervision of his brother-in-law, while Zhao Lichun can use the factory to improve economic data. With Zhao Lichun around, and Zhao's second uncle also in Handong Province, Ning Weidong, the Zhao family's son-in-law, although he has never been to Handong Province, is considered a local tyrant. …… In the end, the meal lasted until almost five in the afternoon before Ning Weidong sent An Zhicheng and An Ning away. Standing on the steps at the entrance of the courtyard, Ning Weidong watched the two people get into the car and drive away with a sincere smile on his face. I gained a lot from meeting An Zhicheng today. Basically, everything about the assembly plant is pretty much done. As for the instant noodle production line, Ning Weidong did not mention it today after careful consideration. Do things one by one and eat meals one bite at a time. Let’s finalize the most important things first. Once both parties reach an agreement and truly become a partnership, everything else will be easy to discuss. Just like the instant noodle production line, if Ning Weidong brought it up now, it would more or less seem like he was asking someone for help. But once the business and factory are finalized and put into operation, you can no longer settle down. This is the so-called sunk cost. The next step is to wait for the reply from the An family. Ning Weidong turned around and went back to the yard. After a while, the unique noise of Zhao Ruyu's 212 was heard outside. Zhao Ruyu came in from outside after get off work. He knew that Ning Weidong was meeting An Zhicheng today, so he asked about the situation as soon as he entered the room. Ning Weidong briefly explained the situation and said at the end: "I feel that things are almost done. I will contact my eldest brother later and tell him about the situation so that he can be prepared." Zhao Ruyu nodded, feeling more and more proud as she looked at Ning Weidong.

When she decided to let him marry Ning Weidong, many people were waiting to laugh at her and gossiping about her behind her back. I feel that Ning Weidong is just an embroidered pillow, who looks like a decent person, but is actually full of shit. As a result, Ning Weidong not only made himself impressive, but he was also able to help his brother-in-law. Just considering this point, how many of those who claim to have married well can do it? However, Zhao Ruyu only dared to hide this pride in her heart and did not dare to show it, for fear that Ning Weidong would become proud. When they first met, this guy dared to ask her if she could take a beating. If he really knew what she was thinking, he would be furious. After finishing talking about this matter, Zhao Ruyu said: "By the way, I saw something today." "What's the matter?" Ning Weidong asked. He knew that Zhao Ruyu was not the type to gossip about his wife. Zhao Ruyi said: "Tang Wanning, a car came to pick her up at noon today." Ning Weidong listened patiently. Given Tang Wanning's status, it was not news that a car came to pick her up. However, Zhao Ruyu took it out and said seriously that it was obvious that the owner of this car was not ordinary. Zhao Ruyu continued, "It was quite mysterious. The car didn't even arrive at the door of our unit. Tang Wanning turned an intersection and got on the car. If I hadn't gone out to buy roasted sweet potatoes for lunch, I wouldn't have seen it." Ning Weidong glanced at the greedy girl and said, "You bought roasted sweet potatoes after dinner. If you eat too much roasted sweet potatoes, you will fart." "Go away~" Zhao Ruyu raised his hand and hit his shoulder: "Let's talk about serious matters~ Guess who picked up Tang Wanning?" Ning Weidong said: "How can I guess? I don't even know her, and I don't know who her friends are." Zhao Ruyi pouted and said, "Guess, it's someone you know." "Someone I know~" Ning Weidong pondered, "Someone I know who also needs a car to pick up Tang Wanning... Li Yuanchao?" After thinking about it, Ning Weidong could only think of Li Yuanchao. Among the people he knew, there were only a few who could know Tang Wanning, and they had to drive there. Logically speaking, Liu Bing could do it, but the accident just happened, and no matter how shameless Liu Bing is, he would not lick like that. But Ning Weidong felt that it was unlikely that it was Li Yuanchao. If it was Li Yuanchao, there would be no need to hide far away. This was not his character. However, Zhao Ruyu insisted that he give an answer, so he just made a random guess. Zhao Ruyi said, "What? It's An Zhiyuan, the guy from Hong Kong. He came to see our guy a while ago and wanted to give you a house." Ning Weidong's heart moved, and he suddenly remembered that he had just met An Zhicheng, and the other party reminded him that An Zhiyuan had recently found a new employer. At that time, Ning Weidong was still thinking about it and went back to ask someone to see what it was. Unexpectedly, Zhao Ruyu brought news in the evening that An Zhiyuan was actually together with Tang Wanning. This was something Ning Weidong really didn't expect. ……

At the same time, in a suite of a foreign-related guesthouse. An Zhiyuan and An Zhicheng sat opposite each other across the coffee table. It was widely rumored that the second and third branches of the An family did not get along, fighting openly and secretly, and oppressing each other, but at this time the two cousins ​​did not show any discord. An Zhiyuan is making tea, which is the Gongfu tea popular in the south. After a series of procedures, An Zhiyuan poured two cups of tea into two teacups that were not much bigger than a thumb. An Zhicheng politely tapped the table three times with his fingers. An Zhiyuan picked up the teacup, took a sip from the heat, and asked, "Third Brother, how do you feel about meeting Ning Weidong today?" Although they were listed as the second and third branches, in reality the An family did not split up. Among the males of their generation, An Zhicheng was the third oldest, and An Zhiyuan was the eldest. Originally, An Ning had a brother in the eldest house, but he died of illness early. An Zhicheng said: "He is a very powerful person. Although he is young and has not been to school much, he has a very wide range of knowledge and is very difficult to deal with." An Zhiyuan smiled, which was almost exactly the same as his evaluation of Ning Weidong. Before he came into contact with Ning Weidong, he, like An Zhicheng, thought that Ning Weidong must be a rough man. He said he graduated from junior high school, but in fact he only had an elementary school education. This was also a factor in the decision to stop high K at that time. Because in the first dozen years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, almost all those who were able to enter university came from families with poor backgrounds. And this is the most fatal thing. You know, what was the first thing White Snake’s son did after he passed the imperial examination and became the top scholar? However, after meeting him, Ning Weidong's conversation, knowledge, and perspective on things surprised the An brothers who claimed to be knowledgeable. An Zhiyuan asked again: "What do you think of his proposal to build a factory in Handong Province?" An Zhicheng came back just now and told him about Ning Weidong's plan. An Zhicheng took another sip of tea. "Does it matter what I think? The reality is that as long as our An family wants to get a share of the mainland, we have to do what he says. Otherwise... there is a saying that it is more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish something. Big brother, you won't forget it, right~" An Zhiyuan's mouth tightened, and then he sighed: "Yes~ Since ancient times, the poor have never fought with the rich, and the rich have never fought with the officials." The topic was left untouched, and An Zhicheng asked, "How was your meeting with Miss Tang today?" An Zhiyuan's eyes flashed with disappointment: "Not even close~" An Zhicheng understood that he was referring to Tang Wanning and Ning Weidong, and asked, "What do you mean?" An Zhiyuan said: "Women only focus on what is in front of them. If Ning Weidong wasn't comparing them to her, they would be considered quite decent, but they are afraid of being compared to others." An Zhicheng asked: "Then what are you going to do?" An Zhiyuan said: "Let's get in touch with him first, and let Ning Weidong know that we don't have to rely on him to survive." An Zhicheng frowned and said, "I'm afraid it's useless. Ning Weidong won't fall for it. And if Tang Wanning finds out that we're using her... Confucius said, only villains and women are hard to raise." An Zhiyuan said disapprovingly: "How can it be used? In the end, as long as we get things done, it will be fine. Tang Wanning has a third uncle who lives outside Shanhaiguan, in a place called Jinxi. When the time comes, we will cooperate with Ning Weidong and send some to the north. What else can she say?"

An Zhicheng subconsciously felt that An Zhiyuan was being too disrespectful. There were some things Tang Wanning didn't understand, but what about the adults of the Tang family? What if, because of this, people develop prejudices against their settlement? But he swallowed the words back when they came to his lips. After all, the two are just cousins, not siblings from the same mother. Although there is a conflict between the second and third branches of the An family, it is just a smokescreen deliberately spread by the family. But in reality, there is indeed a problem of interest distribution between the two families. Not to mention the An family, which is as big as it is, there are dozens of people in total. Even if brothers become enemies because of family property, there will be no shortage of calls for fighting and killing. An Zhiyuan brought the topic back to Ning Weidong: "Then I will go back tomorrow and finalize it with my family. You just listen to my advice here." …… At the same time, Ning Weidong returned to the slum. Tonight, he still went back to Zhao's house with Zhao Ruyu, had dinner with Zhao's father, and reported on his meeting with An Zhicheng. At the same time, it was formally proposed to build an assembly factory where Zhao Lichun worked. Ning Weidong had not revealed this detail before, and only brought it up now that there was some clue. Father Zhao was also surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that Ning Weidong would be so thoughtful at such a young age. Ning Weidong said: "If it is just a simple S market, I will definitely not have anything to do with Big Brother. Big Brother is the foundation of our family and must not have any stains. But building a factory is no problem at all. If everything goes well, the factory will have a huge output in two or three years at most, and Big Brother should be able to take over by then. I dare not say how much more, but it is definitely no problem to produce 200,000 TV sets a year..." Mr. Zhao did some mental calculations and figured out that the output value of 200,000 television sets would be over 100 million. From what Ning Weidong said, this factory assembles televisions, tape recorders, washing machines, refrigerators... What a concept! Zhao's father was very clear about the situation in Nanping County, where Zhao Lichun was going. It was no exaggeration to say that he had carefully selected it. The economy is backward, but the geographical location is superior and there is great potential for development. If a large factory like the one described by Ning Weidong appeared out of nowhere, the economic data of the entire county would immediately go up. If this achievement is attributed to Zhao Lichun, what a great achievement it would be! More importantly, Ning Weidong used this factory to shield himself from all the dirty work. Even if something happens to the factory in the future, Zhao Lichun will not be implicated. This is the most important thing. Ning Weidong did a great job. …… It was almost nine o'clock when Ning Weidong returned to Fuchengmen in the car of the shuttle bus. Today, Zhao's father was particularly happy. After dinner, he did not go to work immediately, but kept Ning Weidong to drink tea for a long time. Ning Weidong got out of the car, thanked the driver, watched the car drive away, and then walked into the alley. It will be November 11th in a few days, and it gets dark earlier and earlier. The telephone poles in the alley were lit with dim street lights. There was a light rain at dusk, and although it had stopped now, the wind was still wet and cold. Ning Weidong put his hands in his pockets and quickened his pace slightly. I silently thought to myself that once the office of Fumin Hotel was renovated, I would use the workers there to renovate the vacated courtyard house before winter. At first, Ning Weidong wanted to convert this courtyard into an internal guesthouse.

Just redecorate it a bit, paint it, put in some expensive furniture, and when people come over to have a meal or entertain guests in the future, you will have He Yuzhu as the ready-made chef, and you don’t have to go out anymore. It’s your own place and you can talk freely. As for where he lived personally, he really didn't want to spend another winter in that slum. In winter, not to mention the slums, just heating is troublesome enough. No matter whether it is a coal-burning stove or a kang, there is no one there during the day, and when you get off work at night, as soon as you enter the house it is like entering an ice cellar. You have to light the stove and work for a long time before the house can barely get a little warm. Ning Weidong has been asking Ning Wei to keep an eye on Liu Yun and Yang Zhengdong recently, and to inform him immediately if there is a suitable house. Ning Weidong is now very rich. If he had so much money in his hands before he traveled through time, he would have bought a new house long ago. But now, policies are being implemented to restrict the flow of housing, and even having a few houses available is not satisfactory. Just talking about the conditions, the house in the Overseas Chinese Apartment that An Zhiyuan gave me was quite good, but it was a pity that it was a bit far from work. Ning Weidong thought that if it really didn't work, he would simply live in the company's new office building after winter this year. There was already a heater in the Fumin Hotel building. There was a boiler room behind the building, which provided heating for 20 hours in winter... Ning Weidong thought as he walked into the gate of the slum. The courtyard was the same as usual. At this time, some people who went to bed early had already turned off the lights. Ning Weidong turned straight into the Moon Gate. As soon as I got home and turned on the light, Bai Fengyu came. "You missed me, and that's why you came here so quickly." Ning Weidong chuckled, walked forward, hugged her and gave her a kiss on the cheek. Bai Fengyu blushed, gently pushed Ning Weidong, and whispered: "Stop making trouble, something happened~" "What's wrong?" Ning Weidong could see that she was reluctant but willing, and his hands did not stop moving at all. Bai Fengyu looked helpless, slapped him bonelessly, and said angrily: "I really have something to ask you, please stop making trouble..." Ning Weidong laughed and asked while playing with the ball: "What's the matter? Tell me~" Bai Fengyu said, "Mr. Lu has been looking for you all night. Just now, Mrs. Lu came and asked me to let you go over immediately when I saw you." Ning Weidong's mind suddenly changed, and he blurted out, "Did something happen to Zhou Kun?" Bai Fengyu nodded: "It seems so. I heard that he slept with the girl he was dating, then changed his mind. Someone reported him and the police were alerted." Ning Weidong was not surprised. When he saw what happened before leaving in the morning, he knew that Zhou Kun was in trouble. It's simply forcing the girl's family to throw dirty water on him. At that time, Ning Weidong guessed that if the matter got out of hand, the girl’s family would definitely not give up. This kind of thing is known to everyone, how can women get married in the future? However, Ning Weidong did not expect that the girl’s family would act so quickly. It happened in the morning, and Zhou Kun was arrested at noon.

The crime is obvious. Who made him sleep with others? At this point, it doesn't make sense to talk about whether it's intact or not. That's morality, that's the law. If you enter the marriage without getting married and still cause trouble, you are just being a hooligan. Ning Weidong was too lazy to care about this matter, his hands kept moving: "If I don't go, I might get into trouble." Bai Fengyu just couldn't save her face and helped to pass on the message. After all, Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu helped her when she was in the most difficult time. But if Ning Weidong said he didn't want to go, she wouldn't persuade him. She can tell who is far away and who is near. "If you don't want to go, then don't go. Don't rub me..." Bai Fengyu was a little annoyed: "If it hurts, just touch it. Why are you pinching it? Ouch... I'm going to bite you..." Ning Weidong was being shameless and scoundrel, but he heard footsteps outside, and then he heard Uncle Lu say: "Weidong~Weidong, you're back~" Ning Weidong frowned, responded and pulled his hand out. Bai Fengyu breathed a sigh of relief, quickly straightened her clothes, rolled her eyes at him and stood aside. At this time, Uncle Lu came in from outside. Ning Weidong's expression changed instantly, and he said with a smile: "Uncle Lu, I was just about to go to your house~ Sister Bai came over just now and said you had something to talk to me about?" Uncle Lu sighed and said, "Well, didn't you see what happened this morning? The woman reported it to the police station and Erkun was arrested." Ning Weidong didn't respond, but smiled and said, "Uncle Lu, don't be anxious, sit down and talk." Uncle Lu responded, Bai Fengyu went to pour him a glass of water, and then sat beside him to listen. Ning Weidong asked, "Uncle Lu, please don't be offended by what I say. Since the police have intervened, we have to trust the government." The corners of Uncle Lu's mouth twitched. He felt a little overwhelmed when the hat was put on him. It seemed that if he continued to beg for mercy, it meant that he didn't trust the government. Uncle Lu said, "Weidong, that's what I said, but I watched you and Erkun grow up. Now that this has happened, you usually call me uncle when we meet, so you can't just stand by and watch~" Ning Weidong nodded and said, "That's what you said." He stopped talking after that. Uncle Lu was an old and experienced man, so he could see that Ning Weidong didn't want to care, and he felt helpless. Over the past six months, he has witnessed tremendous changes in Ning Weidong. If he went there, even if he had had conflicts with Zhou Kun before, Ning Weidong would have to help because of their friendship of more than ten years. but now…… But then again, if Ning Weidong was still the confused person he was before, he would not have achieved what he has today. Uncle Lu sighed, still wanting to make one last effort: "Weidong, if you don't want to come forward, you can give an idea. If you really want to rape him, Erkun will be finished." "Give me an idea~" Ning Weidong said "tsk", stood up and paced around the room: "The person who tied the bell should be the one to untie it. The most important thing in this matter is the attitude of the woman. In fact, there is no need to make it like this. This kind of thing can be solved privately. Why make a big fuss about it? Now, even for the sake of face, the woman's family has to bite the bullet. The only way is to get the woman's understanding, pay the money if necessary, admit the mistake if necessary, and restore her reputation." Uncle Lu frowned and said, "Will this work? I went there this afternoon and they were very determined."

Ning Weidong curled his lips and said, "It's just bluffing. Others may not know, but we don't know what kind of personality Erkun has. He is a hottie who has finally found a wife. If he didn't really find something wrong, would he have made such a fuss?" Uncle Lu nodded, and seeing that Ning Weidong was determined not to get involved, he didn't force him. After all, he can't afford to offend Ning Weidong now, so it is better to keep some friendship with him. If something happens in the future, he can ask Ning Weidong for help so that he won't be unable to get in. Uncle Lu stood up and was about to leave. Ning Weidong sent him to the door and suddenly asked, "Uncle Lu, I have something to ask you." Uncle Lu stopped: "You say~" Ning Weidong said, "I'm just asking casually. You and Aunt Lu have children, and you don't rely on Erkun to support you in your old age. Why are you begging for mercy like this? This matter is no different from other things. It's not good to be involved in it." Uncle Lu had a complicated look on his face and waved his hand, saying, "Weidong, you don't understand." After finishing the job, the man didn't explain and just pushed the door and left. Ning Weidong took a step forward. Although he was curious, he didn't ask any more questions. It's just some trivial things happening in the slum. Uncle Lu returned home. Aunt Lu was waiting and asked hurriedly, "Is Ning Weidong back?" Since Uncle Lu had been out for such a long time just now, she knew that it must be Ning Weidong who came back. Uncle Lu responded. Aunt Lu asked, "What did he say?" Uncle Lu shook his head: "They don't want to care." Aunt Lu spoke up for Ning Weidong: "We have to understand this. Ning Weidong is an unmarried young man, why would he care about such trivial matters? If gossips spread, his reputation would be ruined." Then she looked at Uncle Lu: "I say you are unnecessary. You are causing trouble for others for no reason." Uncle Lu said helplessly: "What can I do? I can't just ignore him. He is Lao Zhou's son after all." Aunt Lu curled her lips and muttered softly: "Are you looking at Lao Zhou or Lao Zhou's wife..." Even though it was just a murmur, the voice was not particularly low, and Uncle Lu heard it. He said with a bitter face: "I say, old woman, we are already so old, can you please stop being so petty?" Aunt Lu rolled her eyes and said, "Alright, alright, I won't say anything more." …… Ning Weidong is in the room. After sending the old man away, Bai Fengyu couldn't help but sigh: "You said Zhou Erkun is the same. He has dated so many people but hasn't met a good one." Ning Weidong curled his lips and said, "He is such a scoundrel, and he only wants to find a pretty girl. Why does he get all the good things? If he really wants to live a down-to-earth life, his son will be a helper." Bai Fengyu thought about it and turned to look at Ning Weidong: "Then why do you get all the good things?" Ning Weidong smiled and said, "Oh, you are just praising yourself for being pretty in disguise~"

Bai Fengyu twisted her butt, half turned around, lowered her head slightly, and whispered: "That's not what I meant. I'm not going to marry you." Ning Weidong felt that this weird voice resembled Lin Daiyu. "Have you read "Dream of the Red Chamber" recently?" Ning Weidong suddenly asked. Bai Fengyu was stunned and blurted out: "How do you know~" Ning Weidong snorted lightly and didn't give her any explanation, leaving her anxious. "Forget it~" Bai Fengyu was not fooled and snorted, then said, "By the way, Fengqin sent a letter yesterday and mailed it to our neighborhood committee." Ning Weidong thought of Bai Fengqin. It had been almost a month since she left without him noticing. "What did she say in the letter? Is everything going well over there?" Bai Fengyu said: "Everything is fine. We can rest assured. I also met new classmates and new friends..." Ning Weidong was listening nearby and could imagine that Bai Fengqin's university life seemed quite wonderful. College students of this era are truly the chosen ones. They don’t have to worry about employment or housing. No matter which unit they are assigned to, they will be a treasure. Then Bai Fengyu went to get the letter and showed it to Ning Weidong. Since Bai Fengqin left, Bai Fengyu is left alone, and the only person with whom Bai Fengqin can share her letters is Ning Weidong. Bai Fengqin wrote this letter in three pages, in very beautiful cursive script without a single typo. However, from beginning to end, there are not many places where Ning Weidong is mentioned. Sure enough, time and space are both butcher knives. Ning Weidong knew clearly what Bai Fengqin felt towards him in the past. Now that he was out there and had seen the new world, those feelings had naturally faded away. But human nature is mean. Ning Weidong originally thought Bai Fengqin was a trouble, but now that she didn't mention him much in the letter, he felt a little disappointed. But it only took a moment for Ning Weidong to adjust. After all, there were too many people around him, Zhao Ruyi, Bai Fengyu, Shi Xiaonan, An Ning... …… The next day, Ning Weidong walked to the unit again. As soon as I entered the inner courtyard, I saw Jiang Biyun talking and laughing with An Ning in the courtyard. Seeing Ning Weidong, the two of them immediately stopped and came towards him. Jiang Biyun said, "Manager, Comrade An is looking for you." Ning Weidong nodded and asked, "Sister An, is there anything wrong?" An Ning nodded. Ning Weidong raised his hand: "Let's talk in the office." Jiang Biyun gestured towards her office and said, "Manager, you guys talk about work. I'm going back first." When Ning Weidong arrived at the office, he felt a little thirsty. He poured himself some water and asked, "Why didn't you call before you came?"

An Ning said: "No, the train has arrived. It is at the freight yard of Nanjiao Railway Station." Ning Weidong asked in surprise: "So fast?" An Ning smiled and said, "I have to be rich when I talk to you, don't let anything go wrong. If the time is up and the car hasn't arrived yet, I won't wait for it." Last time An Ning said the two cars would take more than a week to arrive, but in the end they arrived several days earlier. An Ning continued, "How do we do this? Do you want to find two people to pick up the car, or do you want to go there yourself?" Ning Weidong thought about it and decided that they really had to go, as the entire company couldn't find any other drivers. Ning Weidong asked: "How did you get here?" An Ning smiled and said, "I'm riding a bicycle. You can carry me there. Come back and put the bicycle in the trunk." Ning Weidong thought this was the only option. After An Ning and I came out of the office, we went to say hello to Jiang Biyun. If someone came to see us, we would say we would be back soon. When they got outside, Ning Weidong rode the Phoenix 26 that An Ning had ridden. An Ning trotted after him, stood on tiptoe behind him, and put her arms around Ning Weidong. The autumn wind lifted her hair and windbreaker, and she felt like she was in love. Come to think of it, this is the first time An Ning has had this feeling. She married Wang Jingsheng in the first place just to have a place to stay in special times. They didn't even have a romantic relationship, they just got married right away. Later, she followed Ning Weidong but they didn't fall in love. Of course, at this moment she would not expect that kind of unrealistic love. She only needed a few minutes, or even ten minutes, to sit on the back seat of Ning Weidong, imagining that they were an ordinary couple, with the man riding a bicycle and pedaling hard with his girlfriend on his back. An Ning narrowed her eyes and leaned her head on Ning Weidong's back. Through the not-so-thick clothes, I could feel Ning Weidong's legs moving alternately, driving the muscles in his waist to move... "We're almost there. Which way do we enter?" Ning Weidong shouted. An Ning came to her senses and found that she had arrived. She couldn't help but wonder, how could it be so fast? She felt like only a moment had passed. He coughed lightly and said calmly, "Over there, go through the east gate." Ning Weidong said "hmm" and soon arrived at the east gate of the cargo yard. After stopping the bicycle, An Ning got off the rear rack and walked to the outside of the guard room: "Master, Director Li asked me to come over to pick up two items." The guard stuck half of his head out of the guard room, and couldn't help but look at An Ning for a second, then looked at Ning Weidong, and asked in a muffled voice: "Is there a note?" An Ning was prepared and immediately said, "I have a note~" and took out two notes from her small bag and handed them over a pack of red Peony cigarettes: "Master, please come~" The guard smiled, took the item, glanced at the note and said, "It's those two cars~ Not far inside." He simply stood up and came out of the guard room, opening the door and saying, "Comrade, your last name is An, right~" An Ning nodded.

The guard said respectfully, "Director Li gave instructions this morning. Please follow me, comrades." After entering the cargo yard and walking a short distance inside, you will see a parking lot with a few trucks parked sparsely. There were two cars on the side, one was gray on top and brown on the bottom, and the other was an all-black Crown, which was considered a very classy luxury car in that era. The guard brought the two of them over. Ning Weidong and An Ning took a quick look. It was not a new car to begin with, and it was shipped from Japan to Hong Kong, and then from Hong Kong, so it was inevitable that it had some bumps and scratches on the surface. The price is there, so don’t worry about the small details. Both cars were unlocked, so I reached out and opened the door. The interior of the Crown is all burgundy leather, which looks quite classy. Find the key in the center console and start the car. With a vibration, the 2-liter engine started to turn. Sitting on the thick leather seat and holding the leather-wrapped steering wheel, it must be said that 8 is really incomparable. Ning Weidong gestured twice, got out of the car without turning off the engine, and went to the other side to take a look. (End of this chapter)
