Chapter 251 Looking at the house After confirming the situation and making a preliminary response plan, Ning Weidong did not stay in the winery. Although this matter is urgent, there is no way to move forward in the middle of the night. The most important next step is to contact Erguotou and see if there are any connections that can lend out the wine bottles. Ning Weidong doesn't have to do this himself. With Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan's abilities and connections, it shouldn't be a problem. Apart from anything else, the relationship with Brother Yang Hongqi alone should be enough. Even though the eldest brother of the Yang family is only a section chief, as the old saying goes, a county magistrate is not as good as the current manager, and in this matter, the eldest brother of the Yang family is the current manager. It's just that Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang owe him this favor, there's no need for him to show up in person. It was almost twelve o'clock in the night when Ning Weidong drove back home. At this time, everyone in the courtyard had already gone to bed.

The lights in Bai Fengyu's house were also turned off. Ning Weidong returned to the room without turning on the lights. He took off his clothes in the dark and went straight into bed. The kang has been heated and it's warm inside. Ning Weidong couldn't sleep, thinking about the winery and Wang Guoqiang... After the problem with the wine bottle is solved, I must ask Zhao's father. Going to the father-in-law now is asking for help, but it will be different if you solve the problem first and then go to him. Having made up his mind, Ning Weidong closed his eyes. …… The next day, Ning Weidong did not receive any news from Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan all morning. No news at this time is good news, and once things have been handed down, there is no need to worry about gains and losses. In the afternoon, Ning Weidong still went to meet Bai Fengyu as planned. "Weidong, how about we do it another day~" Bai Fengyu said worriedly while holding the phone. She knew that something happened in Ning Weidong's unit yesterday. First, Ning Wei came running in panting, and then Li Peihang came again. Ning Weidong did not come back until midnight. No matter how you looked at it, it was no small matter. Bai Fengyu originally thought that under such circumstances, the house viewing today would be cancelled, but she didn't expect Ning Weidong to call her as if nothing had happened. Ning Weidong smiled and said, "Don't worry, the sky won't fall." After hanging up the phone, Bai Fengyu breathed a sigh of relief. Ning Weidong left yesterday. She was worried all night and didn't fall asleep until almost midnight. Bai Fengyu knew very well that she was now like a dodder, clinging to the big tree of Ning Weidong. If anything happened to Ning Weidong, she would not be better off either. But she couldn't help at all with Ning Weidong's situation, and no matter how much she thought about it, she could only worry.

Ning Weidong's attitude now is probably fine. Because the neighborhood committee where Bai Fengyu worked was not far away and could be walked for less than half an hour, Ning Weidong did not go to pick her up, nor did he drive, but rode a bicycle instead. Ning Weidong arrived early, took the key and went straight in. The yard had been vacated a long time ago. The original owner didn't live here, so he kept it empty after taking it back and wanted to sell it. The key was obtained from Fang Yazi through Liu Yun's lover Yang Zhengdong. After waiting for a while, Bai Fengyu came over and saw Ning Weidong standing by the door smoking, and immediately stepped in. Ning Weidong just took a walk around the yard. It was indeed a nice yard and the house was in good condition. If he bought it and tidied it up a bit, he could move in. For Bai Fengyu, the only flaw is that it is too big. The two walked around the yard again. Bai Fengyu liked it from the bottom of her heart, but she finally shook her head and hugged Ning Weidong's arm and said, "Weidong, I think we should just forget it. Although this yard is nice, it's too big. You can't come here all the time. It would be scary if I live here alone at night." Ning Weidong pursed his lips and looked around the yard. If you think about it carefully, it's really creepy to let Bai Fengyu live here alone. If Bai Fengqin were still alive, the two sisters could keep each other company, but Bai Fengyu's family didn't have any serious relatives to show off. Ning Weidong thought about it and decided that given Bai Fengyu's situation, if she really wanted to move out of the slum, it would be more appropriate for her to live in a building rather than a large courtyard like this. Or she could live in a place like Shi Xiaonan's, which was half the size of this place and would give her more peace of mind. However, Ning Weidong had no intention of giving up this yard. The price was not expensive anyway, so he just bought it and kept it. After separating from Bai Fengyu, Ning Weidong rode his bike back to the unit. There is still no news from Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan. Ning Weidong was not in a hurry and called Yang Zhengdong instead: "Hello, Lao Yang, this is Ning Weidong... Yes, that yard, I want it... Hahaha, I plan to clean it up and use it for my wedding next year... Don't be polite, you and Liu Yun will definitely come by then... By the way, do you have a smaller yard or a good apartment... I have a sister who wants to move to a new house... Please pay attention, the sooner the better." After he finished speaking, Ning Weidong was about to hang up the phone when Yang Zhengdong on the other end suddenly called out, "By the way! I happen to have a suite here, but... it's a little different from what you requested." Ning Weidong said: "Tell me~" Yang Zhengdong said: "This apartment is the staff building of the Normal University. It was built in the 1960s. The house must be good. All the teachers living here are from the school." Ning Weidong frowned and said, "The staff building, that's public housing, right? How do we buy and sell it?" Yang Zhengdong said, "Don't worry about this. I will handle the formalities for you. You can find a trustworthy person to register his name in the logistics department of the Normal University. Then the apartment will be in his name." Ning Weidong understood what Yang Zhengdong meant as soon as he heard it, and an idea suddenly occurred to him. This house is for Bai Fengyu. It would be better to just put a name on it and transfer Bai Fengyu to work at the Normal University. It sounds more prestigious than the neighborhood committee. Ning Weidong said: "Old Yang, you still have this relationship!" Yang Zhengdong chuckled: "To be honest, it's my cousin's husband who is in charge of logistics at the Normal University." Ning Weidong suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Yang Zhengdong dared to swear so confidently, they were indeed real relatives. He immediately said, "It's better to do it now than to wait for a day. Anyway, the Normal University is not far away. You can come out and call your brother-in-law. I will go to look at the house first."

When Yang Zhengdong heard this, he agreed without hesitation. Through Liu Guangzhi and Natasha, Yang Zhengdong and Liu Yun both knew that Ning Weidong had been to Sulian before. In addition, Liu Yun found out a lot about Dongyi Company through Yu Hongmei, and Yang Zhengdong was worried that he could not find an opportunity to curry favor with her. Moreover, he and his cousin-in-law can both benefit from this matter. Ning Weidong hung up the phone and called Bai Fengyu again. Bai Fengyu had just returned to the office and before she could even sit down, she was called to answer the phone. Ning Weidong didn't waste any time and asked her to come out directly. After a while, Ning Weidong drove to pick up Bai Fengyu and headed straight to the place where he had agreed to meet with Yang Zhengdong. Bai Fengyu sat in the co-pilot seat, touching here and looking there. It was her first time riding in Ning Weidong's car, and also her first time riding in this kind of "big sedan", and everything about it looked new. Turning his head to look at the side, Ning Weidong was holding the steering wheel with one hand and the other hand on the gear lever. He had an indescribable elegant temperament. Ning Weidong said as he drove: "When we get there, just say you are my cousin." Bai Fengyu nodded, but was still confused, and asked "What's going on?" Ning Weidong told her about the house. Bai Fengyu was a little timid when she heard this and said, "The Normal University is outside Deshengmen. If I live there, how will I go to work in the future?" Ning Weidong said: "Then transfer to work there." Bai Fengyu couldn't help but widen her eyes, feeling incredible, and asked cautiously: "You don't want me to work in the neighborhood committee anymore?" Ning Weidong said: "How can the work of the neighborhood committee be as respectable and easy as working in a university? Are you not happy?" Bai Fengyu quickly said: "It's not that I'm not happy, it's just... I can't believe it." In this era, for ordinary people, university has a very sacred color, and people have awe and longing in their hearts. As they were talking, Ning Weidong's car arrived at Xinjiekouwai Street. From a distance, he saw Yang Zhengdong and a man in his forties wearing a marching cap standing together smoking. Ning Weidong parked the car, pushed the door open and called out "Lao Yang". Yang Zhengdong was stunned. He didn't expect Ning Weidong to drive here. He quickly dropped the cigarette in his hand and went to greet him. The people around him were also surprised. In this day and age, anyone who could drive a car, especially an imported sedan, was definitely not an ordinary person. Yang Zhengdong shook hands with Ning Weidong and introduced him, "This is my brother-in-law, Yao Zhiyuan, the deputy director of the Logistics Department of the Normal University." Ning Weidong looked at the other person, smiled and extended his hand: "Director Yao, nice to meet you~" Yao Zhiyuan hurriedly shook hands: "Hello, Comrade Ning." Originally, when he heard Yang Zhengdong talk about Ning Weidong's situation just now, he felt that there was something fishy about it, but at this moment, when he saw the car, he no longer had such thoughts. Currently, there is no regular channel for importing cars in China. This Japanese Toyota sedan is definitely not from a regular channel. The person who can drive it out so blatantly must be no ordinary person. At this time, Ning Weidong called Bai Fengyu over and introduced her: "Director Yao, this is my cousin. She is the one who wants to buy a house this time."

Bai Fengyu came out of the classroom, dressed simply but appropriately, and greeted Director Yao. Yao Zhiyuan nodded, and did not hesitate to shake hands, but in his heart he was admiring what a beautiful woman she was. It’s not that Yao Zhiyuan hasn’t seen beautiful women before. Regardless of the era, universities are usually places where beautiful women gather, not to mention that teacher training colleges are usually dominated by women rather than men. Even so, Bai Fengyu's appearance is still outstanding. Yao Zhiyuan couldn't help but exchange glances with Yang Zhengdong. He didn't believe in the concept of cousins. The four then walked into the family quarters. The greenery and environment inside are very good. Although it is winter and the trees are dead, it is not difficult to imagine the lush scene in summer from the arrangement of trees and flowers. Follow the cement road inside. Standing at the entrance of the building, Yang Zhengdong raised his hand and pointed to the third floor: "That's the one, two bedrooms and one living room, 64 square meters." There is no common area in this area. If the common area is included, it is about 80 square meters. Before Ning Weidong traveled through time, the housing price in this area was about 80,000 yuan per square meter. Ning Weidong took a look and saw that the building had four floors in total. As he went into the building, there were three households per elevator. Arriving on the third floor, Yao Zhiyuan took the key and opened the door. It's fairly clean inside, with a cement floor. The previous owner left some furniture, but they all look old. Ning Weidong walked in and took a look around. The layout of the two south rooms is that there is a small corridor when you enter the door. The two doors on the left are two bedrooms, and the right is the kitchen and bathroom. There is a balcony outside the cabin on the south and the kitchen on the north. The original owner sealed off the north balcony and used it as a kitchen. The original kitchen became a dining room. After turning around, Ning Weidong looked at Bai Fengyu: "Sister, what do you think?" Bai Fengyu's eyes lit up. Although she liked the previous courtyard house, she felt uneasy when she thought about living alone in such a large yard. If Ning Weidong was with her, she would definitely choose that courtyard, but she knew better than anyone that it was impossible. On the contrary, this place is really good. Good environment, good floor, heating in the house, and a bathroom... The most important thing is that there is good privacy. It's not like a slum. Every house has its door open, whether occupied or not. You can just walk in to anyone's house without any sense of boundaries. Upstairs, people just close the door and live their own lives. But when she heard Ning Weidong's question, she calmed down and said lightly, "It's okay, just a little small."

Ning Weidong smiled, knowing that Bai Fengyu was attracted to him. As the old saying goes, praise and criticism are the essence of a buyer. If one does not find fault with something when buying it, then he is not buying it sincerely. Ning Weidong didn't care about this and said to Yang Weidong, "Old Yang, this is it. Thank you and Director Yao for your concern." Yang Zhengdong said quickly: "Don't worry, just leave it to me." Ning Weidong said, "By the way, I just heard on the phone that you can register at the Normal University..." Then he smiled and looked at Yao Zhiyuan, "My sister is working at the neighborhood committee now, which is not close to here. I would rather not register and just transfer here." Yang Zhengdong and Yao Zhiyuan were both stunned. They didn't expect Ning Weidong to have this idea. Yao Zhiyuan immediately looked embarrassed and opened his mouth to refuse. What a joke, there are hundreds of thousands of unemployed people in Beijing now, and everyone knows how difficult it is to find a job. It seems that you want to transfer as soon as your upper lip touches your lower lip. What beautiful things are you thinking about? But he certainly couldn't say this. Anyway, Yang Zhengdong was the one who took on the task, so let him deal with it. Yang Zhengdong was a little confused. This was different from what we had agreed on. He only told Ning Weidong that he needed to find someone to put his name on the project, so how did he end up running into Ci? Just as he was about to explain, Ning Weidong spoke first: "Old Yang, Director Yao, I will definitely not make things difficult for you." Yang Zhengdong is able to put the house here up for sale, and Yao Zhiyuan is so cooperative. What is he after? It’s all about money. Moreover, the fact that he was able to carry out this matter privately shows that Yao Zhiyuan, the deputy director of the Logistics Department, has considerable power. Ning Weidong continued: "How much can you earn from this house? I will double it and arrange a job for my sister. How about that?" Yao Zhiyuan was stunned, looked at Yang Zhengdong hesitantly, and said hesitantly: "This..." Ning Weidong said calmly, "Let's go to that room and discuss it." Wan Shishi agreed and Bai Fengyu went with him to the next room to give Yang Zhengdong and Yao Zhiyuan some space to talk. Ning Weidong was not afraid that they would disagree. Since the two of them could come out with a house, it meant that the benefits generated from it could impress them. Now Ning Weidong offers the same benefits and arranges Bai Fengyu to come in. The benefits are the same and the difficulty is even smaller. Why not do it? As the deputy director of the school in charge of logistics, Yao Zhiyuan must be really short of money to do such a thing privately, and he also has the convenient condition of Yang Zhengdong. The result was not unexpected. After a few minutes of discussion, Yao Zhiyuan agreed, but emphasized that there would definitely be no state-owned enterprise establishment, only large collectives. Ning Weidong had no intention of applying for a job in the state-owned enterprise. Bai Fengyu was still a temporary worker in the neighborhood committee and needed to pass a correspondence technical secondary school exam before she could be hired as a regular employee. Ning Weidong was in a good mood after finalizing the house and job issues. However, when he returned to the unit, he received bad news from Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan. (End of this chapter)
