Chapter 273 Good Son-in-law Zhao Ruyi was stunned for a moment, and sat up from the bed: "What happened?" Ning Weidong said solemnly, "Brother Dabao called just now and said that the old man had a stroke and was sent to the hospital." Zhao Ruyi asked hurriedly: "Is it serious?" In fact, in the Northeast, even in freezing weather, people can still drink strong liquor, and stroke and cerebral thrombosis are not uncommon. Generally speaking, it depends on how serious it is. If it is not too serious, it will usually be fine the first time and will not have much impact on daily life after treatment. But if it happens a second or third time, it will be very serious, and each time will be more serious than the last. And Chen's father's location in Heilongjiang Province is a key node in Ning Weidong's entire layout. If something really happens, it will be really troublesome. Ning Weidong shook his head and said, "I don't know. Hurry up and get dressed and go to the hospital." Zhao Ruyu immediately got up and packed her things. Half an hour later, the two of them drove to the inpatient department of the Medical University Hospital.

The inpatient department was built during the Puppet Manchukuo period. The floor is made of wooden floors, which make a thumping sound when you step on them. When we arrived at Chen's father's cadre ward, all the members of the Chen family except the children were there. Father Chen was lying on the bed, and his complexion was relatively good after the rescue. In order not to disturb the patient, Ning Weidong only said a few words of comfort to Chen's mother, and then went to the corridor to smoke with brothers Chen Baohua and Chen Baoqing. Ning Weidong took out a cigarette and handed one to each of them: "Why did the old man suddenly have a stroke?" Chen Baohua looked solemn, took a deep puff of cigarette and said, "How can we tell? He was fine when he left this morning, but suddenly he got sick. Fortunately, he was rescued in time." Upon hearing this, Ning Weidong breathed a sigh of relief. Since the rescue was timely, he should be able to hold on for a while and there was no need to give up his position immediately. But with this kind of problem, Chen's father's job transfer has definitely entered the countdown. From now on, if there is any disturbance, he will immediately be relegated to the second line. Given the current power structure of the Chen family, there will definitely be problems once Chen's father retires. Neither Chen Baohua nor Chen Baoqing was mentioned, as they were not capable of taking charge. This is exactly what is meant by "Man proposes, God disposes". Originally, the Chen family had gotten back on board the Zhao family, and the situation was looking very good. If nothing went wrong, Chen's father would still have hope of making further progress. After a few years of operation, the situation is different. Now the disease has taken a sharp turn for the worse. In a hurry, even Ning Weidong didn't have a particularly good solution. After chatting with the Chen brothers for a while, I went to see the attending physician to find out more about the situation. After staying for two hours, Ning Weidong and Zhao Ruyu left the hospital. In the car, Zhao Ruyu kept looking at the passenger seat while driving, and asked when they were almost at the guesthouse, "Is it difficult?" Ning Weidong came back to his senses and waved his hand: "It is a bit troublesome, but not that serious. The situation is in my hands now. No matter who comes up, they will not make things difficult for us."

Zhao Ruyu nodded. She had basic political knowledge and understood what Ning Weidong meant. Then he asked, "What arrangements should be made here?" Ning Weidong said: "Let's go back to Beijing first and discuss with our father to see if he has any suitable candidates. If my uncle comes down at this time, the higher-ups will probably seriously consider our father's recommendation." Zhao Ruyi nodded and couldn't help but sigh again: "Good fortune never comes alone." Ning Weidong smiled: "What's the big deal? It's impossible for all good things to happen to our family. This time we've gained a lot, so there's no need to worry too much. By the way, prepare the train tickets, we'll go back tomorrow." Zhao Ruyu responded and returned to the guesthouse. She was about to call to book a train ticket, but before she could make any arrangements, she received a call from Zhao's father. After hanging up the phone, Zhao Ruyu looked at Ning Weidong: "My father has arranged a plane for us to go back now." Ning Weidong was stunned at first, then he reacted. This was also a benefit he received during this trip to the Soviet Union. It would have been impossible to arrange a plane for him in the past. After a quick dinner, Ning Weidong called the Chen family and at around seven o'clock in the evening, he took Zhao Ruyu and Wang Ye to the airport and boarded a Y-8 transport plane. A few hours later, the plane landed steadily at an airport in the suburbs of Beijing. When getting off the plane, Secretary Li, who was beside Zhao's father, came to greet him personally. "Comrade Weidong, congratulations." Although Secretary Li had been quite polite to Ning Weidong before, he was limited by his status as the son-in-law of the Zhao family. But this time, the situation was completely different. Secretary Li was really convinced. He was by Zhao's father's side and had a better understanding of Ning Weidong's visit to Sulian. In that situation, he was able to maneuver and respond flexibly. Secretary Li's ability to become Zhao's father's secretary is unquestionable, but he believes that if faced with the same situation, he will definitely not be able to make a breakthrough and can only return in disgrace. After exchanging brief courtesies with Secretary Li, Wang Ye left on his own. Ning Weidong, Zhao Ruyu and Secretary Li went to Zhao's father's office together. Although it was almost midnight, Mr. Zhao still hadn't returned home. What surprised Ning Weidong even more was that in addition to Zhao's father, the old man from the Wang family was also there. Seeing Ning Weidong, he immediately burst into laughter, stood up to greet Ning Weidong, patted him on the shoulder and said, "It is true that heroes emerge from youth! Weidong, you did a great job this time." Ning Weidong quickly became modest. The worst thing to do at this time was to get carried away, especially at his age. If he really got carried away, people would definitely use it to make a fuss. Wang's father waved his hand and said, "We are all family here, there is no need to be so careful. Young people should act wildly when they should." Ning Weidong smiled and said that it was just for fun, but not to be taken seriously. Father Zhao, on the other hand, sat in the throne room at the back with a smile on his face. Although the Wang family has a relationship with Ning Weidong through Ning Weiguo, they are not as close as the Zhao family. After the greetings, he asked Ning Weidong to describe in detail his visit to Sulian. Here, Ning Weidong did not hide anything and told the whole story. Zhao's father frowned from time to time. When Ning Weidong mentioned that he was going to Almaty to meet Bakibanov overnight, he simply took out a cigarette and handed it to the old man of the Wang family, and the two of them started smoking. Finally, after talking about the meeting between Mosko and Chirnenko, it was already late at night. At this time, the two finally breathed a sigh of relief, looked at each other, and then looked at Ning Weidong.

Although he had learned the general situation through the telegram sent back by Wang Ye, it was not as good as Ning Weidong's detailed explanation. At the same time, the two also realized how difficult it was for Ning Weidong to achieve these results at Sulian this time. Step by step, it's like walking on a tightrope. If you take a wrong step, you lose everything. After calming down a bit, Father Zhao patted Ning Weidong on the shoulder and said, "Weidong, thank you for your help." Ning Weidong said: "As long as we can gain benefits for the country, these are nothing." Ning Weidong was not just boasting, he really thought so in his heart. At Sulian, fighting for the interests of the country is fighting for the interests of ourselves. In front of Zhao's father, Ning Weidong did not use any exaggerated language, but repeated exactly what he had said to Qiernenko, including some half-true and half-false statements. Father Zhao didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You really are... you dare to say anything." Ning Weidong chuckled and said, "It's an emergency, I have no choice. If I didn't have this status, why would such a big shot meet with a young man like me?" Father Zhao nodded, that was indeed the case. In fact, there was a lot of chance in Ning Weidong's meeting with Qiernenke this time. Speedlink has always overestimated Ning Weidong's weight and position in China... Then, Zhao's father and Wang's father asked a few more questions and let Ning Weidong and Zhao Ruyu go. The remaining two were in Zhao's father's office. The two of them calmly brewed a pot of tea. "Old Zhao, I really didn't expect this~" Father Wang leaned back on the sofa, unable to help but sigh. He had known for a long time that his son-in-law had a useless younger brother, but he didn't expect that it would come to this in just one year. "Yeah~ I didn't expect it~" Father Zhao poured two cups of tea and sat down on the sofa: "Some people are really unpredictable. At the beginning, I always felt sorry for Ruyi..." Wang's father said, "Old Zhao, don't be so ungrateful after getting such an advantage." After a few words of gossip, Zhao's father restrained his expression and asked, "How are we going to tell the higher-ups?" Although Ning Weidong achieved unexpected success in Sulian this time, his success not only brought benefits, but also caught the Wang and Zhao families off guard. The father's expression also turned serious, and he said in a deep voice: "It really is a difficult problem for us." What Wang's father said was not that Ning Weidong's incident itself was difficult to report to his superiors, but the subsequent impact it brought. Originally, the country had almost decided to completely turn to the West, mainly because the relationship with Speedlink had always been tense and there was no room for easing. In addition, in order to take action in Afhan, Moscow deliberately instigated Yueg to contain the south. But Ning Weidong suddenly did this, shocking everyone. It would be fine if it was just a small-scale incident in the Far East, but now even Qiernenko has seen it, so we can no longer turn a blind eye to it.

It is necessary to confirm what attitude should be maintained in the future. But this was not what Ning Weidong needed to consider. Ning Weidong and Zhao Ruyu returned to the Zhao family together. I haven't been home these days. The kang in the slum is cold, and it's the middle of the night. I definitely can't go back. And judging from Mr. Zhao’s attitude just now, he won’t go back tonight. …… The next morning, Ning Weidong opened his eyes, full of energy. I didn't do anything last night, I just slept for a few hours in his arms. Ning Weidong was in high spirits. He got up and sent Zhao Ruyu to work, and then went to the winery. This is the top priority right now. At the same time, Zhao's father was also called to an office of more than 30 square meters by a phone call. Along one wall, there was a row of glass-fronted bookcases, in front of which were two sets of single sofas. Next to it was a large desk with a green-shaded table lamp. There was a short old man sitting behind the desk, looking at the documents on the table. After Zhao's father came in, the old man pushed his glasses, put down the things in his hands, and said with a smile: "Xiao Zhao is here, sit down." Then he got up and sat on the sofa next to him. Father Zhao responded and waited for the other party to sit down before sitting down with his back straight. The old man took out a cigarette, lit a match and said, "You have found a good son-in-law~" - I have had a fever for three days and I can’t hold on any longer today. I can only write three thousand words. (End of this chapter)
