Chapter 129 Overseas Chinese Apartments Ning Weidong's thoughts wandered and he began to have random thoughts. It took me a long time to collect my thoughts and boil water to wash my feet. Turn on the radio. The news inside has finished and the radio drama is now being broadcast. Radio programs have changed a lot in recent years. The eight model operas that used to be the highlight have become less and less popular, while other radio dramas, essays, and poems have begun to emerge. Ning Weidong couldn't say that he liked it. After all, he had experienced an information explosion before he traveled through time, so this little bit now was not stimulating enough for him. There must be some movement in the room, otherwise it would be too quiet. …… On the other side, at Bai Fengyu's house. Bai Fengqin placed a basin of hot water on the ground and said, "Sister, let me wipe your body."

Bai Fengyu asked as she took off her clothes: "Is the door locked?" Bai Fengqin put the towel into the hot water and said, "Plug it in~" After that, she put down the towel, shook her hands, and went to hang up the curtains. But at this moment, Ning Wei and Fan Datou happened to come out of Ning Weidong's room and asked, "Sister, the eldest brother of the Ning family really moved out as he said." Bai Fengyu looked at her leg in plaster and thought that Ning Weiguo's family had moved away, leaving Ning Weidong alone in the yard. When her leg healed, she could sneak over there. Seeing that she was absent-minded, Bai Fengqin called out "Sister~" again. Bai Fengyu came back to her senses: "What?" Bai Fengqin pouted, took out a towel from the basin, wrung it twice and said, "I heard that Brother Ning moved into the building, there is heating in the winter, no need to light the stove, and there is a toilet in the building, is it true?" These days, it is still relatively new to place toilets indoors. Even if some schools have built buildings, they still use dry toilets. Bai Fengyu said, "How would I know? I heard it was true." Then she let out a long sigh, "Fengqin, when do you think we can live in a building?" Bai Fengqin said: "Sister, don't worry, when I get admitted to university, I will definitely take you to live in the building." Bai Fengyu smiled: "Silly girl, when you graduate from college and start working, you will get married and have children. How can you live with me?" Bai Fengqin blushed and said hurriedly: "Sister, then I won't marry and will be with you forever." Bai Fengyu said: "You're just talking nonsense..." Bai Fengqin said nothing more. When she mentioned getting married, Ning Weidong came to her mind. It’s not that she still has any thoughts about Ning Weidong, but since she was a child, when it comes to getting married, she can only think of Ning Weidong. Unfortunately, no one liked her. Bai Fengqin couldn't help but pout, holding her breath. There were only two months left, and she had to try her best to get into a good university. At the beginning, Bai Fengyu asked Aunt Lu to introduce her to Ning Weidong, but Ning Weidong refused without a second thought. Later, Bai Fengqin figured it out. In fact, Ning Weidong didn't think she could pass the exam.

If she was considered capable of getting into university, she would be worthy of Ning Weidong even though he was currently the deputy section chief of the Red Star Factory. She was determined to fight for it and get into a university to show Ning Weidong. Thinking of this, Bai Fengqin couldn't help but bite her lower lip. …… The next morning, Ning Weidong was sitting in the office. He put down the phone and walked out. He had just talked to Li Peihang on the phone and was about to go over. Last night, Fan Datou came over and said that Sun Jiacheng might be a special W, and this was a very serious matter. Whether it is true or a misunderstanding, it must be reported to the higher-ups. Ning Weidong came to the door diagonally opposite and pushed it open. The original office of Wang Kaifeng has now become Li Peihang's. "Brother Li~" Ning Weidong walked into the room and closed the door. Li Peihang's face was beaming with joy. Since moving into this dream office, Li Peihang has been very proud of himself. He laughed and said, "Brother, how are you doing with your studies? Every time I came over, you were holding your correspondence book. You must be studying very hard." What Li Peihang said was not an exaggeration. Since Ning Weidong became the deputy section chief, he has devoted most of his energy to reading, and he is quite happy about it. Ning Weidong was busy reading, so he naturally had no energy to compete with him for power. However, Li Peihang had seen Ning Weidong's ruthlessness, and considering his relationship with the Wang and Zhao families, he did not dare to provoke him too much. Ning Weidong knew clearly about his dilemma, but he was not in a hurry and decided to wait until after the correspondence exam. The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and Ning Weidong said seriously: "Brother Li, I have something to report to you..." Ning Weidong recounted the situation that Fan Datou had responded to, and finally said, "Brother Li, you know the situation in Workshop 4 better than I do. Do you think we should talk to Director Li first?" Li Peihang pondered and nodded slowly, "This situation is indeed very important, but... just based on Fan Datou's one-sided statement, it's not enough to say that Sun Jiacheng is a special W. I think we should wait a little longer... Didn't you ask Fan Datou to use his trick against you?" Ning Weidong nodded. Li Peihang said: "Then let's wait and see." Ning Weidong did not insist. This was what he had meant originally. He just wanted to talk to Li Peihang today to clear the air so that if something happened in the future, he would not be accused of not reporting the situation. After returning from Li Peihang's place, Ning Weidong returned to his office and picked up the phone to dial out: "Hello, Fourth Brother, this is Weidong... Are you free tonight... OK, see you there." Ning Weidong hung up the receiver. He must tell Chu Zhongxin about Sun Jiacheng's situation. If Sun Jiacheng is really special, Chu Zhongxin must have a share of the credit. After finishing the call, Ning Weidong continued reading. I had lunch with Zhao Ruyu at noon, and after that I was taken to take a look at the flower garden in the factory logistics department.

It is called a flower garden, but it is actually a large indoor garden. Every year during May Day, National Day, Spring Festival, or other large-scale celebrations, the Red Star Factory not only needs to use a large number of flowers itself, but also provides a portion to the city. Especially in this season, there are many kinds of flowers blooming in the flower beds, which are beautiful and smell good. But not everyone can come here, otherwise, with tens of thousands of people here, it would become a mess if everyone came and looked. After work in the afternoon, Ning Weidong returned to the office and was about to continue reading when there was another knock on the door. Ning Weidong was interrupted and said "Come in". Ning Wei pushed the door open from outside, closed the door and called out "Third Brother". Ning Weidong frowned. Ning Wei would not come to him if there was nothing wrong. Sure enough, Ning Wei said, "Third brother, Shen Sikui came to see me just now." Ning Weidong didn't think of this person for a moment. Ning Wei hurriedly reminded: "The one who was originally with Wang Jingsheng." Ning Weidong then remembered that there was such a person: "Well, what happened to him?" Ning Wei said: "Shen Sikui said that his cousin, An Ning, wants to see you." Ning Weidong's face darkened. Ever since Wang Jingsheng got into trouble, he hadn't been in contact with An Ning for some time. What does it mean that you suddenly want to see him this time? Ning Weidong thought for a moment and said, "Nothing happened?" Ning Wei replied, "No, I just said it's an important matter and I hope you can come over when you have time. Here's the address." Then he took out a piece of paper. Ning Weidong didn't know what An Ning was up to, so he picked up the paper and took a look. There was an address written on it, which turned out to be the Overseas Chinese Apartment in Huayuan Village. Ning Weidong had an impression of this place. It should be the first commercial housing in the entire capital. It was built in 1962 and sold only to overseas Chinese. The house type and environment were not outdated even in the era before Ning Weidong traveled through time. An Ning actually moved there! This made Ning Weidong's mind turn for several turns. It was obvious that many things had happened to An Ning after not seeing her for more than a month. Ning Weidong estimated that the relationship with overseas should be reestablished. Otherwise, it would be impossible to suddenly move to the Overseas Chinese Apartment. The houses over there can't be bought just by having money. But An Ning came to him again, and no one knew what she wanted to do. Seeing this address, Ning Weidong became more interested and said to Ning Wei, "Go and tell Shen Sikui that I will go there after dinner tonight." Ning Wei responded and immediately retreated. Ning Weidong walked to the window and looked down. After a while, Ning Wei walked out of the building and came to the outside of the south gate. In the distance, a man was squatting on the curb smoking. When he saw Ning Wei coming out, he immediately stood up to greet him. It must be Shen Sikui.

Ning Weidong didn't look down anymore. He returned to his desk and wondered what An Ning wanted to talk to him about. There was nothing else to do in the afternoon. It was almost time to get off work in the evening when Zhao Ruyu came up from downstairs. She didn't knock on the door, but pushed it open. A head popped in through the crack of the door and said with a grin, "Still studying hard!" Ning Weidong raised his head and glanced at him. Zhao Ruyu then came in and closed the door. As the weather got warmer, Zhao Ruyu had taken off her heavy winter clothes long ago. Today she wore a beige windbreaker with a waist, and an open pair of flared pants underneath. She wore a pair of high heels on her feet, and let her trouser legs down to cover her heels, making her look taller. Ning Weidong also smiled, stood up and went over to hug her and gave her a kiss. After spending some time together and getting to know each other a little, Ning Weidong felt that Zhao Ruyu had a pretty good personality. She doesn't have the endless fussing of ordinary girls, nor the pretentiousness of "I don't tell you, so why can't you guess it?" Zhao Ruyu was very decisive in everything. He would speak his mind directly and take action if he was not satisfied. What’s even more rare is that even though she couldn’t fight back, she didn’t whimper and complain. Zhao Ruyi was kissed so hard that her eyes were a little blurry. Suddenly she thought of something and said shyly, "My eldest brother and his wife moved yesterday. You didn't tell me. I only found out about it this afternoon." Ning Weidong smiled and said, "I told you that you would still go over to help?" Zhao Ruyi said confidently, "Of course~ I didn't go yesterday, so my sister-in-law won't blame me, right?" Ning Weidong patted her butt: "You haven't even married yet~" Zhao Ruyu added: "I'll go over to help you clean up tonight." Ning Weidong was slightly surprised. He didn't expect Zhao Ruyi to be so considerate. He couldn't help but grab her butt and said, "Just help me clean up. Is there anything else?" Zhao Ruyu blushed. Although they had had a lot of intimate contact since they met, they had never crossed the last line. It's not that Zhao Ruyu was insisting on it, because the two of them were in a marriage of arrangement, and the marriage was a foregone conclusion. Besides, Zhao Ruyu was not averse to Ning Weidong, so when the love was strong, it would come naturally. The main reason why we have not made any further progress until now is due to objective factors. This time is not like the later times, where you can book a room anytime and anywhere. This was an era when you needed a letter of introduction to stay in a guesthouse. There was no need to go to the factory guesthouse, but they were all acquaintances and it was inevitable that they would be recognized, so Zhao Ruyu felt embarrassed. But now, Ning Weidong lives alone and finally has a place to stay. Unfortunately, Zhao Ruyu came at the wrong time. Ning Weidong said helplessly, "Not today. I made an appointment with Fourth Brother this morning. I will go to see him tonight. I have something to ask." Zhao Ruyu pouted. Ning Weidong leaned close to her ear and gently bit her earlobe: "Don't worry, come over again in two days, on Sunday." Zhao Ruyi blushed and stamped her feet in anger: "Who is anxious? I will ignore you!" He said he ignored her, but he didn't really leave. The two of them stayed affectionate for a long time before going downstairs together.

Ning Weidong sent Zhao Ruyu home first before going to the restaurant of the Municipal Bureau Guesthouse. Chu Zhongxin came over after get off work and had been waiting for a while. Ning Weidong came over and immediately asked someone to serve the food. Don’t underestimate the restaurant in the guesthouse. The chefs here are all well-known and each of them has a few famous specialties. More importantly, it's safer here than outside, so you don't have to worry too much about there being eavesdroppers on the walls. In the small private room, Chu Zhongxin took out a bottle of Fenjiu and said with a smile: "Weidong, let's have a good drink today." Ning Weidong was not polite. He took the bottle from Chu Zhongxin and took a look at it: "Wow~ old wine from 1969!" Chu Zhongxin chuckled and said, "During the New Year this year, your sister-in-law stole it from my father-in-law." Ning Weidong also smiled. They opened the bottle and poured themselves a glass. The hot dishes haven't come out yet, so I'm going to drink some peanuts and a plate of cold cuts. We talked about recent developments while drinking. The last time Wang Kaifeng was brought down, the Red Star Factory was the main battlefield, and Chu Zhongxin's place was the most important secondary battlefield. Without Chu Zhongxin's auxiliary support, Wang Kaifeng would be released before the end. Once Wang Kaifeng comes out, it will add many variables to the final result. Fortunately, Chu Zhongxin had his own supporters, otherwise he might not have been able to resist Director Xu at that time. The two talked and drank. After a while, when the three hot dishes were served and the door of the private room was closed, Ning Weidong mentioned the matter of Sun Jiacheng. When Chu Zhongxin heard this, he sobered up instantly after drinking about 200 grams of wine and was already feeling dizzy. Ning Weidong continued, "Fourth brother, Fan Datou just found me last night. You are an expert in this area. Do you think this is credible?" Chu Zhongxin fell into deep thought, and after a while he said, "It's related to Special W. Even if there is a one percent chance, we must invest one hundred percent of our strength." After saying that, Chu Zhongxin patted Ning Weidong's shoulder excitedly: "Weidong, your clue came at the right time!" In fact, Chu Zhongxin's help in bringing down Wang Kaifeng was not completely without side effects. As time went by, the special task force he was in charge of targeting Deputy Factory Director Liu had made no progress and there were already voices of criticism. Chu Zhongxin knew that he had offended the other party before, so the other party had to show some appreciation. Otherwise, everyone will follow suit and things will become a mess. Chu Zhongxin had no choice but to accept it. Without sufficient reason, he would have to give up this group. Unexpectedly, at this time, Ning Weidong provided new clues.
