Chapter 64: Hua Zi is Luo Yi

Chapter 64 Hua Zi is Luo Yi Ning Weidong rode his bike out of the factory and rushed to Suifujing Police Station. His home is also nearby, and I remember the exact location. After passing Fuchengmen, I didn’t go straight ahead, but turned back home first. Ning Weidong pushed the cart in and met Aunt Lu walking out with the iconic red mark in the middle of her forehead. "Aunt Lu, please get out~" Ning Weidong couldn't understand where the addiction came from. In the past few days since he came here, he hadn't seen the red marks on Aunt Lu's face disappear. "Hey, Weidong, why are you back just after work?" Aunt Lu asked curiously. Ning Weidong smiled and said, "I left something at home, so I came back to get it." As he said that, he walked into the courtyard without stopping. At this moment, Uncle Lu came out of the house and asked, "Who are you talking to?" Aunt Lu waited for a moment, and the two of them walked out together: "I saw Ning Weidong. No wonder the Ning family looked down on Bai Fengyu's sister. In just a few days, Ning Weidong went from guarding the gate to working in an office in the building."

Uncle Lu asked in surprise: "Ning Weidong? Why is he back at this time?" Aunt Lu said, "He said he wanted to get something..." As he was heading out of the courtyard gate, he suddenly ran into Bai Fengqin standing under the corridor of the Guangliang gate. Aunt Lu was embarrassed for a moment. She had just said that the Ning family looked down on Bai Fengqin, and she was confronted with the person involved, not sure if the other person heard it or not. He laughed dryly and said, "Fengqin, why didn't you go to school today?" Bai Fengqin called out "Auntie" with a slightly unnatural expression: "School will officially start soon, take a two-day break." After finishing, he nodded to Uncle Lu and walked quickly inside. Aunt Lu looked sideways at her as she turned into the courtyard and whispered, "Master, did this girl hear what we said?" Uncle Lu curled his lips and said, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have said anything." Aunt Lu rolled her eyes at him and said, "Get out of here, old man." …… Ning Weidong got home and went straight to the high and low cabinets in the upper room. Inside were the good cigarettes and alcohol that Wang Yuzhen had swept from her father's house. The original owner had a weird personality and was embarrassed to take advantage of others, but Ning Weidong didn't have those taboos. I opened the cabinets and took a quick look, and there were quite a few things inside. There were five pairs of Maozi cigarettes, four and a half pairs of Huazi cigarettes, as well as other cigarettes, alcohol, malted milk and milk powder in tins, and chocolate imported from Yugoslavia. Ning Weidong didn't go too far. As the saying goes, after all, they are not your biological parents. You have to be careful about what you do, otherwise you will be annoying. He picked up the half carton of cigarettes, took out two boxes and put them in his left pocket, then took out another box and put it in his right pocket. When he came out of the house again and was about to push the cart out, he ran into Bai Fengqin coming in from the moon gate.

When the two met, no one expected it. "Sister Fengqin~" Ning Weidong greeted first: "Are you not going to school today?" Bai Fengqin puffed up her cheeks, feeling resentful in her heart. Why do you, Ning Weidong, look down on me? Just because you are tall and good at fighting? Just because you are a pretty boy and look energetic? Just because you were transferred to an office in the building... The more Bai Fengyu thought about it, the more discouraged she became. At this point, even she felt that she was not worthy of Ning Weidong. He snorted angrily, twisted his butt and ran back to the house, secretly making up his mind that he must get into university! Ning Weidong was completely confused by her and had no time to figure out what this girl was thinking. He pushed his bicycle straight to the police station. When we arrived, we put the bicycle in the shed at the door and went in through the gate. As soon as I arrived at the gatehouse, a middle-aged man's face appeared through the small window and he shouted, "Hey, comrade, who are you looking for?" Ning Weidong stopped and said with a smile: "Hello, comrade, I'm looking for Zhang Dajun. My name is Ning Weidong, from the Security Department of Red Star Factory." The middle-aged man looked at him for a few seconds and said: "Security Department of Red Star Factory, do you have a letter of introduction?" Ning Weidong said, "It's not business. My brother is a friend of Zhang Dajun. He asked me to come over to get something. How about you ask him?" As he spoke, he glanced at the phone on the table through the small window. The middle-aged man saw that he didn't seem to be talking nonsense, so he waved his hand and said, "Go in, Second Courtyard, West Wing." Ning Weidong hurriedly thanked him and walked inside. Go inside, to the west wing, open the door and go in. The three rooms inside were connected to form a large office with seven or eight desks. The door was covered with a blue cotton curtain, and there was a choking smell in the room as the stove was lit and cigarettes were smoking. The person sitting closest to the door was a young man who seemed to be upset for some reason. When he noticed someone coming in, he raised his eyebrows and asked unhappily, "Who are you looking for?" Ning Weidong was not surprised. In this era, when you eat in a state-owned restaurant, the waiters are not in a good mood, let alone here. He smiled and said, "Hello, comrade. I'm looking for Zhang Dajun. Section Chief Chu from the bureau asked me to come." At the gatehouse, Ning Weidong did not tell Chu Zhongxin, after all, they were outside. There is no need to hide anything in this room. The young man was stunned for a moment, probably not knowing which Section Chief Chu was. Besides, he only mentioned the bureau, district or city, so he didn't react. At this time, inside the big office, in a small single room converted from an annex, a voice shouted from the open door: "Ning Weidong?" Ning Weidong looked over and saw two desks facing each other inside. A square-faced man stood up behind the desks, leaned forward and waved to the outside. I guess this person is Zhang Dajun. I heard him talking outside just now, so I stood up and called him. He nodded to the young man at the door and walked straight inside. "Hello, Brother Zhang~" When he got closer, Ning Weidong took two quick steps and stretched out his hands to shake hands with Zhang Dajun. Zhang Dajun was of medium build, but his hands were huge, with calluses on his palms. He shook hands with Ning Weidong vigorously: "Chu Ke just called me and said you were coming." After a brief greeting, Ning Weidong sat down in the room, with his back facing the large office outside, just blocking the view outside, and took out the two boxes of Huazi from his pocket: "Brother Zhang, I'm relying on you this time."

Zhang Dajun took a look at it and didn't pretend to refuse it. He laughed and scolded: "You kid." The price of two boxes of Huazi is not a big deal. Huazi is divided into large and small. Generally, the large one costs 75 cents and the small one costs 62 cents. Two boxes cost just over one dollar. The problem is that it is simply not available on the market. Even if you have tickets, you still have to rely on luck and connections. Ning Weidong came over and threw out two boxes of Huazi, making his attitude clear: I am sensible, Zhang Dajun is helping me with things, I am grateful for your kindness, and I will not take it for granted just because Chu Zhongxin said that. Of course, even if Ning Weidong didn't want to, Zhang Dajun would help, and the situation would be different. For Chu Zhongxin's sake, Zhang Dajun has to do his job, but whether he can do it 60% or 90% depends on him, and he has to be able to get the job done. As for cigarettes, you don’t have to buy Huazi. Two boxes of Daqianmen are the same. Just have the right attitude. The reason why Ning Weidong took Huazi was for another consideration. Zhang Dajun should be a useful person among Chu Zhongxin's new subordinates, and the police station is right next to his home, so there is no guarantee that he may need help in the future. Chu Zhongxin might not reveal Ning Weidong's background in advance. As the old saying goes, respect the clothes first and then respect the person. These two boxes of Huazi are Ning Weidong’s Luoyi. He has a way to get Hua Zi, and he is willing to throw it away casually, so Zhang Dajun should not underestimate him. After this contact, and a little more interaction, next time when there is something, Ning Weidong can go directly to Zhang Dajun without going through Chu Zhongxin. (End of this chapter)
