Chapter 94 Watching Movies and Eating Barbecue Father Zhao was surprised after hearing his eldest son's evaluation of Ning Weidong. He pondered and said, "According to what you said, this Ning Weidong is still a hidden talent?" Zhao Lichun said: "I wouldn't say he is very well hidden, but he is definitely not as bad as we think." Father Zhao said, "That's good. It would be good if Ruyi could get along well with Xiao Ning." Then he asked, "What does Ning Weiguo think of seeing her?" Zhao Lichun nodded: "I have seen him. He is quite capable. No wonder the Wang family is willing to invest resources in him. However...it may be related to his family background. His vision and courage are still a little lacking." Father Zhao waved his hand and said, "That's not important. Vision and courage all depend on the position. Once you reach that position, it won't take more than three months for you to naturally have the vision and courage that the position should have." Zhao Lichun pursed his lips. He didn't agree with his father's statement in his heart, but he was his father, so he had to endure it even if he disagreed. …… On the other side, Ning Weidong and Zhao Ruyu came out of the compound. Ning Weidong pushed his bicycle and said, "What do you want to do? Let me make it clear in advance that I don't have money to treat you to a movie."

Zhao Ruyi rolled his eyes and retorted, "Look at your character, I'll treat you, okay~" Then he leaned forward slyly and said, "Hey, does what you said just now still count?" "What does it count?" Ning Weidong glanced at her: "It's all mixed up." Zhao Ruyi quickly explained, "You said you would help me make money, 30,000 a month." Ning Weidong had completely forgotten about this. He had said this before just to flatter Zhao Ruyu. Anyone who trains dogs knows that after a beating, give them a biscuit. The reason why Ning Weidong could threaten Zhao Ruyu was not because of speculation or profiteering. If it were ten years ago, speculation and profiteering would have been a serious matter and one could have been shot to death if not handled properly. But times have changed, and the nature of the case is not as serious as it used to be. In the capital, every family with a background like Zhao Ruyu's has done this before. As for Liu Xinwen’s death, it could not be linked to Zhao Ruyu in any way. Ning Weidong just said that. What really intimidated Zhao Ruyu was that she didn't want her father and brother to know about this. This is easy to understand. When most children make mistakes outside, what they fear most is being found out by their parents. Therefore, the handle in Ning Weidong's hand is actually not reliable. At times like this, we must use both kindness and force. In addition to threats, we should also paint a rosy picture so as not to push them too hard. Just like a volcano, if it is too tight, it will easily erupt. Ning Weidong said nonchalantly, "Don't you believe it?" Zhao Ruyu didn't feel her face flushed at all: "Who said that? I... I just didn't react. Tell me in detail how you can earn 30,000 yuan a month." Originally, Zhao Ruyu didn't want to take a single bite of the pie that Ning Weidong had painted. And he was still dreaming of earning 30,000 yuan a month. What a lie! At that time, Zhao Ruyu had only one thought: This idiot treats me as an idiot.

But Zhao Lichun's attitude towards Ning Weidong during the meal just now made her feel shaken. Could it be that Ning Weidong has something real in his stomach? It’s not because of anything else, it’s because of her elder brother’s attitude. There are only two people who can convince Zhao Ruyu, one is her father and the other is her elder brother. Especially her eldest brother Zhao Lichun. From the age of eight to thirteen, it was almost always her eldest brother who brought her and her to the country. Just now she saw Ning Weidong talking in front of her eldest brother. Although she didn't understand some of the things he said, judging from Zhao Lichun's expression, it was obvious that he was not talking nonsense. So what Ning Weidong said, that he could help her make money, 30,000 yuan a month, wasn’t it nonsense? With this little thought in mind, Zhao Ruyu took the initiative to stay just now. Her idea was simple. The marriage with Ning Weidong was a foregone conclusion anyway, and Ning Weidong had a handle on her. Instead of making a fuss, it would be better to ease the situation. What if Ning Weidong is not bragging and can really help her earn 30,000 yuan a month? Even if I can't, three thousand a month is not impossible. In short, since she can't resist, she might as well try to adapt. At least Ning Weidong is quite pleasing to the eye and has high fighting power, so he can suppress her. He is not like those weaklings she knew before, who would cry for a long time after being punched. Ning Weidong raised his eyebrows and looked at her: "Want to make 30,000 a month?" Zhao Ruyu was busy like a chick pecking at rice. Ning Weidong chuckled and said, "Let's watch the movie first, then I'll tell you." Then he got on the bicycle and pedaled forward. Zhao Ruyu snorted, took two quick steps and sat down on the back rack of Ning Weidong's bicycle. Suddenly, the rear wheel creaked. Ning Weidong shook the handlebars and kicked the pedals hard twice to increase the speed before he could stabilize the bike. Complained: "I said, how much do you weigh?" Zhao Ruyi was not like other girls who treated their weight like a state secret. She said openly, "One hundred and thirty, what's wrong?" Ning Weidong was not too surprised. Considering Zhao Ruyu's height, explosive power, and those two big guys, it would be unreasonable if he was not over 1300 feet tall. Moreover, Zhao Ruyu has a body with fat wrapped around her muscles, and they feel soft to the touch. Ning Weidong has just tried this. Ning Weidong said: "Nothing, I'm just worried that the bicycle can't handle it. I weigh over 180 pounds, and you weigh over 130 pounds. Together, we weigh over 300 pounds~" Zhao Ruyu sat sideways at the back and rolled her eyes, then reached out and held Ning Weidong's waist. Ning Weidong rode slowly on the road, and the two of them looked like a young couple out for a stroll on Sunday. After more than ten minutes, the two returned to the old town. Ning Weidong asked: "Which cinema are we going to?" Zhao Ruyi didn't even think twice: "Let's go to the Geology Auditorium~" Ning Weidong had no objection and rode his bike straight to Fuchengmen Street.

The Geology Auditorium that Zhao Ruyu mentioned is just east of Fuchengmen Street, not far from the tenement where Ning Weidong lives now. Ning Weidong was familiar with the route. He arrived at the Geology Auditorium, parked his bicycle, and went to the ticket office to prepare to sell tickets. There were quite a lot of people watching movies on Sunday, but fortunately most of them were waiting to enter, so there weren't many people in front of the ticket office. Ning Weidong and Zhao Ruyu walked over and looked at the bulletin board next to them while waiting in line. "Which one do you want to see?" Ning Weidong asked casually. Zhao Ruyu saw a brand new poster with a man in a suit and a top hat on it, and below it was a line of blue words: "Gunshots in the Secret Service." "Look at this, it wasn't here last week~" Zhao Ruyu pointed. Ning Weidong is not picky. Everything looks the same to him anyway. As they were talking, it was their turn to go to the ticket office. The ticket seller inside was a girl with a clear voice: "How many tickets do you want, comrade?" Ning Weidong and Zhao Ruyu looked at each other. After pausing for two seconds, Ning Weidong said, "Buy a ticket~" Zhao Ruyi blinked her eyes, not quite reacting. The ticket seller inside and those waiting to sell tickets were all stunned. Although men and women are equal these days, Ning Weidong and Zhao Ruyi are obviously in a relationship. Besides, Zhao Ruyu is beautiful and tall, and just standing there she can attract a lot of attention. Although Ning Weidong has a good appearance, it is not common to go out to watch a movie and ask a girl to sell tickets. Zhao Ru thought he was justified. If it was in private, she would have tolerated it, but now in public, with many people watching, how could she put her face? She immediately retorted: "Why should I buy it?" Ning Weidong said as a matter of course: "You said it, you treat. Besides, you make 67 a month, and I make 32 a month, why do you say that?" Zhao Ruyu blinked her eyes. She had proposed those three conditions, but she didn't expect the boomerang to come so quickly. "Comrade, please hurry up, there are people waiting behind~" Although the ticket seller inside was also eating melons, he couldn't waste too much time. Zhao Ruyu was helpless. He glared at Ning Weidong fiercely, took out a very beautiful brown wallet from his pocket, and took out a green two-yuan note from it: "Comrade, please give me two copies of "Gunshots in the Secret Bureau", the two o'clock show." The ticket seller inside couldn't help but glance at Ning Weidong. He didn't expect that it was actually a girl who paid for the ticket. "Two tickets, for two o'clock. Here's your change, please." The ticket seller handed them out quickly from the window. Ning Weidong saw that the purchase was completed and looked at the time. There were still a few minutes left. The previous show had already ended, and people for this show were now crowding in. Ning Weidong naturally took Zhao Ruyu's not-so-small hand. Zhao Ruyu's hands are a circle larger than Bai Fengyu's, and feel free of calluses and thick joints. It is said that this effect can only be achieved after practicing internal martial arts to a certain level. Ning Weidong had never come into contact with an internal martial arts master before, and he had only heard about it from others, so he didn't know whether it was true or not. Anyway, Zhao Ruyu's hands are soft and feel very comfortable to touch.

Zhao Ruyu's cheeks turned slightly red. She had lived for more than 20 years, and this was the first time someone held her hand and her heart beat faster. Ning Weidong didn't let go until he sat down. Zhao Ruyu breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn't expect that as soon as she sat down, Ning Weidong would naturally put his hand on her thigh. Although it was winter and he was wearing thick clothes, Zhao Ruyu's body still froze. He quickly held down Lai Hui Mosuo's hand, glared at him fiercely, and whispered, "What are you doing!" Ning Weidong smiled and leaned over to say, "I didn't do anything. What's wrong with touching your own wife?" Zhao Ruyi frowned and said, "There are so many people!" Although Zhao Ruyu died with a tigress, the current social atmosphere is conservative, and she was brought up with strict family education since childhood. Even when something happened in her family a few years ago and she was not with her parents, she was still under the supervision of her eldest brother. Even some of those who were short-sighted were discouraged by her powerful fighting ability. Only Ning Weidong could not be defeated and was caught with a weak point. Fortunately, Ning Weidong didn't push too hard, so he withdrew his hand and whispered, "Then wait until the lights are turned off." Zhao Ruyi rolled his eyes at him and cursed, "You rascal." Before he finished speaking, the lights in the theater suddenly went out. Immediately afterwards, a melodious bell sounded, and the classic "Workers, Peasants and Soldiers" sculpture and the words "Changchun Film Studio" appeared on the big screen in front. As soon as the lights went out, Zhao Ruyu felt the hand coming again. She was helpless and simply ignored it. On the contrary, there were so many people around her, which made her feel vaguely excited in the dark. Fortunately, that was all. Besides, it was winter and I was wearing woolen trousers underneath my tweed trousers, and underpants underneath my woolen trousers, so I couldn’t feel anything. But this old movie, I was really into it... Nearly two hours passed in a flash. Ning Weidong came out of the cinema and stretched his arms. Zhao Ruyu followed behind, still immersed in the plot of the movie. Seeing Ning Weidong walking down the steps in front of the cinema, he quickly followed him and asked, "Where are we going next?" Ning Weidong looked at his watch and it was already four o'clock. I gave the woman who was watching the bikes some money, took out my bike and said, "I'm craving for barbecue. Treat me to a meal during the barbecue season and I'll tell you the secret to making 30,000 a month." Zhao Ruyu blinked her clear eyes and said doubtfully, "Don't lie to me." After watching the movie for two hours, her urge for "30,000 yuan a month" was not so strong anymore. Ning Weidong curled his lips and said, "You can go if you want. You talk as if I just need your barbecue." After saying that, he pushed the cart and left, not showing any leniency at all. Zhao Ruyu fell for it and hurriedly followed him: "Hey, I didn't say no, wait for me!" Seeing Ning Weidong getting on the bike, he hurriedly took a few steps, sat on it, and put his arms around Ning Weidong's waist familiarly.

The distance from the Geology Auditorium to the barbecue season on the Shichahai Lake is not short. Ning Weidong walked with great effort from Xisi North Street to Di'anmen Street, and then went north along the west side of Nanluoguxiang...nearly three kilometers. Seeing that they had arrived, Ning Weidong breathed a sigh of relief and wondered when he could get a car to drive. In the middle of winter, he pedaled the bicycle with great effort, and even if he had plenty of energy, his butt would inevitably be hurt. But it's too far-fetched to think about this right now. Even if you have connections and money, a car will be too conspicuous. After storing the bicycles, the two went into the barbecue restaurant. There are quite a few people eating barbecue on Sunday. In order to counter the STU in the past two years, the West has relaxed many restrictions, especially after 76, until the early s, when there was a period of rapid economic development. In addition, due to policy changes, some people have more money, and restaurants that were previously unaffordable for most people have become popular. When Ning Weidong and Zhao Ruyu arrived, it was almost time for dinner and there were only two tables left in the restaurant. We asked for a round table against the wall and the waiter came over to greet us immediately. The attitude is pretty good, and there is no situation of 'beating or insulting customers without reason'. What's more, when Ning Weidong came in, he was meters tall, wearing a coat, with a sturdy build, almost a head taller than the waiter. Some people are just arrogant, not stupid. In the past, hotel waiters were considered hardworking and were good at observing people's words and expressions and praising the powerful and belittling the weak. I saw Ning Weidong and his wife, one tall and the other beautiful, both well-dressed, and they looked like they were not someone you would mess with. Ning Weidong took the menu, glanced at Zhao Ruyu, and asked, "Would you like a drink?" Zhao Ruyu could drink, and his alcohol tolerance was not small, but just when he was about to agree, he changed his mind and shook his head. After all, today was the first time that she was out with Ning Weidong alone. If she really drank, her father and brother would see her when they got home and would definitely scold her again. Ning Weidong saw her shaking her head and just asked for two bottles of Arctic Ocean. I ordered a few plates of grilled meat, and finally handed the menu back to the waiter, asking again, "Can the Yanbaosandan be stir-fried?" In the middle of winter, coriander may not be available. The waiter smiled and said, "Comrade, the cilantro is only frozen. It tastes just fine, but it doesn't look good. I wonder if you can bear it." (End of this chapter)
