Chapter 157 Fence Ning Weidong returned home and met Uncle Lu coming back from the toilet at the gate of the slum. Ning Weidong was in a very good mood along the way just now. Although the test results had not come out yet, he knew in his heart that he had definitely passed. Although the current exams are stricter, they are still relatively easy to take, especially since Ning Weidong is taking a correspondence course. Judging from the results, Ning Weidong’s previous hard work in reviewing was actually a bit too much. But it doesn't matter. A lion will use all its strength when fighting a rabbit. It is better to use too much force than to lose face. "Oh, Uncle Lu, you're smiling like a flower. You must be having a good time~" Ning Weidong teased with a smile. Uncle Lu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You are such a disrespectful boy. It seems like you did well in the test today, right?" Ning Weidong was not modest: "Isn't that pretty good?" Uncle Lu was stunned. Ning Weidong continued: "That's pretty good!"
Uncle Lu was shaken for a moment, and pointed at Ning Weidong with his hand: "You kid, you are just making fun of your uncle, right?" Ning Weidong quickly stopped. As the two of them entered the gate of the compound, Uncle Lu suddenly remembered, "Oh, Weidong, someone came to your house just now." Ning Weidong was stunned, stopped and asked: "Someone is coming? Who?" Uncle Lu said, "I haven't seen her before. She's a woman, quite fashionable." Ning Weidong was surprised. She was a woman and quite fashionable. He immediately thought of An Ning. But Uncle Lu had seen An Ning before, so it shouldn’t be said that he had never seen her before. Ning Weidong nodded and walked in through the moon gate with curiosity. Uncle Lu took a look and turned around and went home. But as soon as he entered the house, he saw Aunt Lu by the window. When she saw him come in, she asked, "Hey, old man, I heard you talking to Ning Weidong just now. Is he back?" Uncle Lu nodded and closed the door. Aunt Lu looked gossipy and asked in a low voice: "Hey, that woman who came just now was looking for Ning Weidong, right~" Uncle Lu said, "You're still asking me, didn't you see it too?" Aunt Lu said with a click of the tongue: "You said this guy is not good at all. Ever since this boy from the Ning family became the section chief, he has been... one after another, beautiful women have taken the initiative to approach him." Uncle Lu said nothing. Aunt Lu pulled him and chased him, saying, "If you keep doing this, I think something bad will happen to the Ning family kid sooner or later." Before he finished speaking, Uncle Lu glared at her and said, "What nonsense are you talking about~" Aunt Lu was startled and said a little aggrievedly: "I didn't say that. The Wang family and the Zheng family all said that." Uncle Lu frowned and said, "They are talking nonsense, and you just follow them? When they hear about it, they will definitely remember us even if they don't say anything."
Aunt Lu didn't agree with that and whispered, "Can we be blamed for that? It's his own fault. He has so many women around him. Since he was promoted to deputy section chief, he can't show off enough. The women around him..." Before she could finish, Uncle Lu was really angry and said in a deep voice: "You're still talking! You're not done yet!" This frightened Aunt Lu so much that she shrank her neck, pouted her lips and finally kept silent. Uncle Lu said, "How many times have I told you that the mouth can bring disaster, the mouth can bring disaster! Why don't you learn your lesson?" Aunt Lu was still unconvinced: "We are not talking nonsense." Uncle Lu said, "It's okay if you just talk nonsense, do you understand? I'm afraid that you old ladies will really be right." Aunt Lu was stunned for a moment before she reacted. …… On the other side, Ning Weidong returned to the East Courtyard and looked around but did not see anyone waiting outside their house. I thought to myself, maybe Uncle Lu had gone to the toilet and was gone? Ning Weidong wondered who might be looking for him while he put his bicycle away and prepared to go into the house. But at this moment, Bai Fengyu from the Bai family next door came out and called out, "Weidong, there are guests at your house." When Ning Weidong turned around, he saw a woman following Bai Fengyu out. The woman had long wavy hair, which was quite eye-catching in that era. She wore a waisted windbreaker and a pair of brown lace-up high heels. Ning Weidong narrowed his eyes and recognized the woman at a glance. It was Jiang Liya from the Logistics Department. In the logistics department of the Red Star Factory, there are two most famous women. One is Gao Yanmei, the daughter-in-law of the factory director Li Weibing, and the other is Jiang Liya. Jiang Liya is Deputy Director Wang's person. Many people in the factory spread the rumor that Jiang Liya and Wang Guoqiang had an improper relationship, but there was no real evidence. Ning Weidong didn't expect her to come. Logically, Ning Weidong had little interaction with this woman in the factory, and they had barely spoken to each other. He actually found my house today, what does this mean? Although he was doubtful in his heart, Ning Weidong was quite enthusiastic on the surface: "Oh, Sister Jiang! You are such a rare guest." Jiang Liya came to Ning Weidong with a smile and said softly, "From what Comrade Xiao Ning said, it seems that he doesn't welcome an uninvited guest like me~" Jiang Liya spoke with a southern accent. She was not a native of Beijing, but came from Shanghai. She was not tall, just about meters, and even when wearing high heels, she looked very petite in front of Ning Weidong. Ning Weidong waved his hands and said, "I dare not. It is a great honor for my family to have you here!" The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and then Bai Fengyu interrupted and said, "Weidong, you don't know yet~ Sister Jiang's daughter and Fengqin are classmates!" Ning Weidong was stunned. He knew that Jiang Liya had a daughter who was in high school, but he didn't expect that she was in the same school as Bai Fengqin. With a surprised expression, "Is this true, Sister Jiang, your daughter is in high school? I can't tell, I really can't tell!" Jiang Liya smiled, knowing that Ning Weidong was complimenting her on her youthful appearance. This is also what she is most proud of. This era is different from the future. People in their thirties are still babies.
Nowadays, there are many people in rural areas who got married early and became grandparents at the age of 35 or 36. Jiang Liya is 35 years old this year. It is normal for her daughter to be in the first year of high school, but it is rare for her to look as young as she does. Even Bai Fengyu, who is pretty and young, is much worse than Jiang Liya in terms of dressing. After knowing Jiang Liya's real age, Bai Fengyu did not think that Ning Weidong and Jiang Liya would have any improper relationship. After all, the age gap was too big. Ning Weidong let Jiang Liya into the house and said with a smile, "The house is simple, please don't be surprised, Director Jiang." Jiang Liya is the office director of the Logistics Department. Jiang Liya said: "I don't agree with what you said. It makes me seem out of touch with the people." Ning Weidong apologized while pouring water: "Look at my mouth." Jiang Liya looked around and suddenly asked, "I heard that you are dating Zhao Ruyu from the factory office. Are you ready to get married?" Ning Weidong responded, not knowing what Jiang Liya was up to. Jiang Liya said, "I know about Zhao Ruyu's situation..." Ning Weidong frowned slightly. Jiang Liya obviously had something else to say, but she didn't finish her words and changed the subject: "By the way, I heard that you took the correspondence exam today. How did you do?" Ning Weidong was not surprised. It was no secret that he was taking the correspondence exam, and it was not difficult for Jiang Liya to find out. He smiled and responded, "I did OK on the test, but it's just a correspondence course for a technical secondary school, not worth mentioning." Jiang Liya smiled, crossed her legs naturally and said, "How could that be? If it were someone else, a technical secondary school correspondence course would be nothing, but you, Deputy Section Chief Ning Weidongning, are different." Ning Weidong raised his eyebrows and vaguely guessed what the other party meant. Jiang Liya continued, "With this technical secondary school diploma, you can get cadre status and no longer have to work in lieu of work. With this technical secondary school diploma, it shouldn't be long before you can become a regular deputy section chief. Am I right?" Ning Weidong smiled calmly, picked up the water he had just poured and took a sip: "Director Jiang, please tell me what you want to do." Jiang Liya said calmly: "Then I won't beat around the bush. I heard that Zhao Ruyu is planning to be transferred..." Ning Weidong raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that Jiang Liya came for this. He had discussed with Zhao Ruyu before and asked Zhao Ruyu to leave the Red Star Factory and set up a separate trading company to be affiliated with the Machinery Bureau. I didn't expect Jiang Liya to be such a sharp woman. Or maybe it wasn't Jiang Liya who was perceptive, but Wang Guoqiang behind her who was perceptive and captured the information contained in it. Ning Weidong did not deny it: "Ruyi wants to be transferred. Her personality is not suitable for working in the factory." Jiang Liya smiled and said, "What Chief Ning said is not inappropriate at all. Comrade Xiao Zhao is going to make a lot of money this time." "Oh?" Ning Weidong smiled and said, "What do you mean?" Jiang Liya said: "Do you still need me to explain? It's not a secret to get approval documents now." Ning Weidong raised his eyebrows: "Why, Director Jiang is interested?"
Jiang Liya waved her hand and said, "I'm not qualified." Ning Weidong's expression was serious: "So Director Jiang is here on behalf of Director Wang?" Jiang Liya smiled and nodded: "I wonder if there is such an opportunity?" Ning Weidong fell silent, not quite sure what Wang Guoqiang meant. It is said that the two sides became enemies after Wang Kaifeng was arrested last time. Although Wang Kaifeng survived in the end, he had to stay in the northwest for more than ten years. More importantly, Ning Weidong's move directly disrupted Wang Guoqiang's plan, destroying the situation he had painstakingly built up over many years. He had to stop his activities at the factory and was suppressed by Li Weibing. Now Jiang Liya came to Ning Weidong and said that the two sides could cooperate. Ning Weidong said: "This is not a question of opportunity or not. Doesn't Director Wang hate me?" Jiang Liya said calmly, "Hate? Why should you hate? Are you talking about Wang Kaifeng? He was not as skilled as you, so he lost. What's there to hate? Besides, let's put things in perspective. That was inside the factory, and this is outside the factory. How can they be the same?" "Isn't it different?" Ning Weidong asked back. Jiang Liya said: "Whether it is the same or different, it depends on what Chief Ning thinks. Is it to make one more friend or to make one more enemy? As the old saying goes, more friends mean more roads, more enemies mean more walls, isn't it?" Ning Weidong was silent. Jiang Liya added: "Besides, the present is different from the past. The situation is the same as it was then. Now you are the son-in-law of the Zhao family, and you have a relationship with the Wang family..." Ning Weidong still didn't respond. It was impossible to say that Wang Guoqiang didn't hate him at all. After all, Wang Kaifeng is Wang Guoqiang's nephew, and the good situation was ruined by Ning Weidong. But Jiang Liya was right about one thing: times have changed. Given his current status, from Wang Guoqiang’s perspective, he really doesn’t want to become his mortal enemy. This does no good to either side. It’s just that the other party suddenly proposed to participate in the buying and selling of approval documents. It’s hard to say what the other party’s intention is. Ning Weidong thought for a moment and said, "Director Jiang, let me think about this matter. Besides, since you mentioned the approval document, you should know something about it..." Ning Weidong concluded that Jiang Liya should also be doing this in secret. Just look at the clothes she wears, the watches and jewelry, which are not something that ordinary people can afford. What does it mean to be fashionable and what does it mean to know how to dress well? That's all built with money. Where does the money come from? Ning Weidong continued, "I don't have the final say on this matter. I can't make the decision on Director Wang's situation either. I have to ask the elders first. Besides, this is not our family's business..." Jiang Liya was stunned, obviously she didn't know this beforehand. Ning Weidong observed her expression and couldn't help but smile secretly, then continued: "To be honest, Ruyi in our family has a good sister, her surname is Li, her name is Li Kangmei, and her brother Li Yuanchao, who is in partnership with us."
Jiang Liya frowned slightly. She was not from a wealthy family and was not in this circle. She didn't know the background of the Li siblings. But she must be a good sister of Zhao Ruyu and her background must not be ordinary. Now things are even more complicated. This is also the reason why Ning Weidong had to find someone to cooperate with him when he was getting approval documents. Even if the Li siblings were not there, Ning Weidong would find a way to find other people to cooperate with through Zhao Ruyu's connections. The purpose is to raise the fence and increase the cost for someone who wants to do bad things secretly. If it were just the Wang family and the Zhao family, although it would have some deterrent effect, to be honest, in the capital, there are still plenty of people who can afford to offend both the Wang family and the Zhao family at the same time. But adding the Li family to the mix is like adding a heavy weight to the scale. In terms of strength and status, the Li family is a level higher than the Wang family and the Zhao family. Once the interests of Ning Weidong and Zhao Ruyi are linked with the Li siblings, anyone who wants to make a fuss about this matter will have to carefully consider the pros and cons. Correspondingly, the Li family needs the support of the Wang family and the Zhao family in the industrial field. There is also a saying that a county magistrate is not as good as the current manager. …… More than half an hour later, Jiang Liya came out of Ning Weidong's room and turned around and said, "Comrade Xiao Ning, please stay~" Ning Weidong smiled and said, "I'll take you outside." Jiang Liya did not insist, and the two of them walked all the way to the gate of the compound. Ning Weidong walked down the steps and said, "Director Jiang, take care." Jiang Liya nodded, turned around and walked out along the alley, her high heels making a rhythmic "clack-clack" sound on the concrete floor. Ning Weidong watched her graceful figure and couldn't help but lower his eyes with a serious expression. (End of this chapter)
