Chapter 208 Before Leaving After deciding to leave, Ning Weidong said goodbye to Li Peihang and then walked around the factory with people he was familiar with. Li Weibing has been in semi-retirement recently and rarely comes to the factory. As for why he hasn't moved yet, it is not difficult to understand. There is only one job for every person, and as long as Li Weibing is still here, he can occupy the job of factory director. Maybe some conditions have not been negotiated yet, so Li Weibing has to stay here first. But in fact, most of the specific affairs in the factory have been handed over to Wang Guoqiang and Chu Chengfu. Ning Weidong walked around and returned to the office to continue reading. His transfer procedures are still being processed and there is still some handover work to do, so he will have to stay for two more days. But at this moment, the phone on the table suddenly rang. Ning Weidong picked up the phone while flipping through the book. Hearing the voice on the other end of the phone made him stunned for a moment.

After hanging up the phone, Ning Weidong felt a little amused. The person who called just now was actually Wang Guoqiang, and for the first time ever he asked him to come to his office and sit down. Ning Weidong closed the book, stood up and walked out. No matter what Wang Guoqiang's purpose was, since the call came, he had to go and take a look. If it were in the past, Ning Weidong might have told Li Peihang first, but now that he was about to leave, it didn't matter. Go up the stairs to the fifth floor. Ning Weidong arrived outside Wang Guoqiang's office and raised his hand and knocked three times. A voice called "Come in" came from inside. Ning Weidong turned the handle, pushed the door open with a "click", looked at Wang Guoqiang who was sitting under the window, and called out "Director Wang". Director Wang pushed his glasses, stood up and said with a smile: "Xiao Ning, sit down~" Ning Weidong didn't hesitate and sat down on the sofa next to him. Wang Guoqiang sat down in the single seat next to him, with a complex emotion in his eyes. He looked at Ning Weidong and said with a sigh: "What a pity~" Ning Weidong didn't respond, just smiled. Wang Guoqiang added: "I just heard that you were going to be transferred." Ning Weidong nodded and said, "It was all arranged by the organization." Wang Guoqiang shook his head and said, "It's a pity that a young talent like you can't stay in the factory." Ning Weidong said: "Wherever we go, we serve the people." Wang Guoqiang said: "It's great that you have such awareness. However, no matter where you go, Red Star Factory is your mother's home. If you encounter any difficulties or need anything, please don't be polite in the future." Wang Guoqiang spoke politely with a smile on his face. There was no sign of any dirty dealings between him and Ning Weidong, let alone any resentment he had for Ning Weidong's overthrow of Wang Kaifeng and ruining his plan.

Of course, Ning Weidong would not think that Wang Guoqiang is a good person just because of these words or his attitude at this time. That does not exist at all. The most crucial thing is actually the hidden meaning behind Ning Weidong's transfer this time. Wang Guoqiang has already predicted that Ning Weidong has the potential to soar to great heights in the future. Although it was just a possibility, he was unwilling to leave hidden dangers for his future. Since it is a grudge that happened within the factory, let's settle it within the factory and don't involve outsiders. Wang Guoqiang expressed this attitude. He believed that Ning Weidong would understand and make the right choice. Ning Weidong certainly understood what the other party meant, and said with a smile: "Director Wang, since you said that, I will not be polite to you if I have any difficulties in the future." There are no eternal enemies or eternal friends in this world. Since Director Wang took the initiative to extend the olive branch, Ning Weidong should of course accept it, at least to save face. More importantly, Ning Weidong’s current strength and status are not enough to qualify him to refuse. If he refuses and the news gets out, people who know about it or not will say that Ning Weidong is arrogant and ignorant. As for how much of what Wang Guoqiang said was true and how much was false, Ning Weidong didn't care. He wouldn't believe it anyway. Meeting and smiling to forget all grudges is something that only happens in novels. If you can let it go easily, it will no longer be a grudge. It's just that for the time being, no one can do anything about the other party's stopgap measures. Coming out of Director Wang’s office, Ning Weidong curled the corners of his mouth slightly and smiled to himself. From the beginning to the end, he was certain that Director Wang was no ordinary person. He has great skills, is flexible, and has a good background. If nothing unexpected happens, such a person is destined to be promoted in the future. As for how high he can be promoted, it is beyond human control and depends on his luck. Ning Weidong must be on guard against such a person, but he must not break off relations with him. At the very least, he must maintain a superficial relationship. Since the other party took the initiative, of course he should continue. Coming down from upstairs, Ning Weidong turned a corner and saw someone standing at the door of his office. It was Lu Zhou. "Old Lu~" Ning Weidong called out with a smile: "Why are you standing outside? Come inside and sit~" Ning Weidong's office door was not closed. Lu Zhou's face twitched, and he followed Ning Weidong into the house, hesitating and seeming to want to say something. Ning Weidong guessed his intention: "I heard I'm leaving?" Lu Zhou nodded hurriedly: "Leader, this...what's going on? Why did he leave just like that?" Lu Zhou finally managed to cling to Ning Weidong's support, and he is expected to be promoted to deputy section chief next year. But if Ning Weidong leaves, it may not be certain.

Ning Weidong said helplessly: "In Lao Lu, I don't have the final say on this matter, but don't worry, I have told Director Li that your deputy section chief position will definitely be resolved next year." Lu Zhou was stunned. He didn't expect Ning Weidong had already made arrangements. He felt a little embarrassed: "Leader, I... I didn't mean that. It's just too sudden..." Ning Weidong said: "No need to explain, I know what kind of person you are. To be honest, I actually thought about taking you with me." This is not nonsense, Ning Weidong did think about taking Lu Zhou away. After this period of time, Lu Zhou's ability to get things done is beyond doubt, and his character and integrity are also acceptable. Dongyi Company has just a makeshift team, and if Lu Zhou can be brought there, many problems can be solved. But this kind of thing cannot be done forcefully. Lu Zhou is now a regular cadre with a permanent position in a large state-owned factory. Dongyi Company is a large collective. As the saying goes, people go to higher places and water flows to lower places. If Ning Weidong said so, Lu Zhou would not be able to refuse, as he might feel resentful inside. Ning Weidong continued, "But the company I'm going to is a collective unit. It can't be compared to our factory. There are only a few people and the future is uncertain. I thought about it and decided not to tell you." When Lu Zhouyi heard this, he also reacted and almost blurted out that he wanted to leave with Ning Weidong. But when the words came to his lips, he rationally held them back. He is no longer a young man in his early twenties who is brave and dares to do anything when his head is hot. He is now in his thirties, approaching forty, and has a family, so he needs to be more cautious. Ning Weidong had no intention of forcing him. Outsiders may not know, but Ning Weidong knows that Dongyi Company will have a bright future. Although it is a time to hire people, there is no need to force it. He patted Lu Zhou on the shoulder and said, "Old Lu, this is not a trivial matter. Go home and think about it carefully. Give me an answer before the day after tomorrow." Lu Zhou pursed his lips and nodded, "Leader, I'll go back first." As soon as Lu Zhou left, another person came. "Knock knock knock~" Liu Dong knocked on the door and stood at the door. "Little Liu'er~" Ning Weidong was slightly surprised when he saw that it was him. Before, Liu Dong was asked to follow Ning Wei, but later when Ning Wei left, he was asked to follow Lu Zhou. "Leader~" Liu Dong bowed and walked in from outside. "You're welcome, come and sit down." Ning Weidong smiled and was quite approachable. Liu Dong sat on the sofa somewhat stiffly, with his hands on his tightly clasped knees, and asked, "Leader, um~ I heard that you are being transferred..." Ning Weidong nodded: "It's time to leave, but don't worry, I have already said hello to Director Li, he will take care of you in the future." Liu Dong licked his lips. He did not doubt that Ning Weidong had really said hello, but this kind of favor from a distance was ultimately unreliable. Even if Li Peihang remembered it for Ning Weidong's sake, how long could he remember it? After a long time, it would be fine.

Liu Dong said: "Leader, I...I want to go with you." Ning Weidong was slightly surprised. He didn't expect Liu Dong to make such a request. He said in surprise: "Come with me? The unit I'm going to this time is a large collective." Liu Dong hurriedly said: "I know, I went to Wei Ge's house last night..." Ning Weidong suddenly realized that when Ning Wei was in the factory, he had a good relationship with Liu Dong. Although he was transferred, their relationship seemed to have not been severed. Moreover, Liu Dong is quite opinionated. When Ning Weidong went to workshop 4, he was the first one who made up his mind to stand up. Ning Weidong asked, "Have you thought about it? Have you discussed it with your family?" When mentioning this, Liu Dong pursed his lips. Ning Weidong could tell that he probably didn't have the support of his family. This is normal. After finally getting into a large state-owned factory, no parent would agree if their child voluntarily leaves to join a collective unit. Liu Dong gritted his teeth and said, "Leader, I can make my own decision. I have chosen you. As long as I follow you, I will dare to go through the hail of bullets." At the end of his speech, Liu Dong stood up suddenly, clenching his fists tightly, showing great determination. Ning Weidong actually admired Liu Dong a little. At such a young age, he was able to make a choice at the critical moment, stand up and muster up courage. This kind of determination is not something that ordinary people can have. Of course, Ning Weidong also knew that Liu Dong was an ambitious man. But it’s not a bad thing to be ambitious, especially for young people. Without ambition, what future can you achieve? Ning Weidong said: "Since you have made up your mind, come on~" Upon hearing this, Liu Dong was overjoyed and immediately thanked Ning Weidong profusely. He had a premonition that going with Ning Weidong this time would be the most important decision he would make in his life. The next few days were all planned, and finally after completing the formalities, Ning Weidong left the Red Star Factory. Before that, Zhao Ruyu went to work in a bank reluctantly. She had only been Manager Zhao for a few days before she had to resign, which made her a little depressed. Ning Weidong took good care of her several times in the evening before he finally felt better. …… Early that morning, Ning Weidong got up and specially found a dark blue Mao suit that looked dignified. In September, after the beginning of autumn, the weather has changed from morning to evening. Most people have to wear long sleeves in the morning, and take off their coats in the afternoon when it gets hot. Ning Weidong is going to the department today. He was transferred from the Red Star Factory to become a manager at Dongyi Company, but his personnel relationship was not with the company. Originally, Zhao Ruyu's personnel relationship was with the Machinery Bureau, but now it has been decided that the company will be transferred to the direct management of the ministry, so Ning Weidong's personnel relationship should naturally be placed with the ministry. I'm going there today to meet with my leader and report some situations. After getting dressed, put on your leather shoes.

Bai Fengyu specially polished his leather shoes last night. Ever since Bai Fengqin went to school, Ning Weidong and Bai Fengyu have been freed. The only drawback is that they can't sleep until dawn. No matter whether Bai Fengyu comes over or Ning Weidong goes over there, they have to separate after the job is done. Even so, Bai Fengyu was very satisfied and made good use of this time. She knew that this situation would not last long. Once Ning Weidong officially married Zhao Ruyu, they would definitely move out of the slum. When the time comes, it will not be so convenient for her to meet Ning Weidong again. Ning Weidong came out of the house, pushed his bicycle and walked out. Zhao Ruyu was still driving the original jeep, and Ning Weidong had no intention of taking it. Firstly, he was not used to driving this old-fashioned 212, and secondly, it was inconvenient to live in a slum. If he really brought back a car and parked it in the alley, he would be watched by people every day. At this time, Bai Fengyu came out holding the door, and when he saw Ning Weidong, he gave him a fierce look. Last night, Ning Weidong came secretly in the middle of the night and gave her a good beating. Normally Bai Fengyu would have given up, but she persisted yesterday, which made Ning Weidong a little strange. "Sister Bai, you got up so early?" Ning Weidong asked, meaning to let Bai Fengyu lie down for a while longer. Bai Fengyu snorted softly, thinking to herself that I didn't see you being gentle and considerate to me last night, and now you are being hypocritical. In fact, she didn't want to get up either, as it hurt to walk. Bai Fengyu said: "Go to class and help me call the company to ask for leave." Ning Weidong understood what he meant and couldn't help but chuckle. Bai Fengyu was too lazy to look at him and turned around and went into the house. He went back to the inner room and sat down, couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and reached out to pick up the small mirror next to him. Although she looked good after moisturizing, she suffered from insomnia last night. She was so tired and exhausted that she just couldn't fall asleep. She barely fell asleep until four or five in the morning. Originally Bai Fengqin was still there, with two people making noise in the room. As soon as Bai Fengqin left, the room suddenly became quiet. Even with Ning Weidong, he only came occasionally. When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Bai Fengyu couldn't help but have wild thoughts. Sometimes I think about the past, sometimes I think about the future. She is only 25 years old now. If it was before Ning Weidong traveled through time, she would have just graduated from college two or three years ago and would not have been married yet. Bai Fengyu had to consider the future. Bai Fengqin will definitely have a bright future if she goes to college. Bai Fengyu doesn't know what her future will be like.

Ning Weidong had confided in her before and asked her to first take the correspondence course for a technical secondary school, and then help her get a full-time job and transfer to the street office. Bai Fengyu believed that Ning Weidong was not lying to her, but what would happen if he was transferred to the street office? She will be alone when she gets old. She believes that Ning Weidong likes her. But what should she do if she is old and ugly ten or twenty years later and Ning Weidong is tired of her? Ever since Ma Liang ran away secretly and left her a mess, she no longer dared to be naive. (End of this chapter)
