Chapter 21: Being courteous for nothing The cooking skills are average, but his movements are quite skillful. Ning Weidong and the other man came up without saying a few words. Ning Weidong picked up the chopsticks and motioned Ning Wei to get two bowls of rice. He tasted the kidney and found it quite satisfactory. However, he didn't expect to eat in such a small shop as well as in a big restaurant. The other goulash took a little longer. When the food was served, Ning Weidong said, "Xiaowei, go borrow a lunch box and take out half of the potatoes and beef for Aunt Liu to take back." Ning Wei responded. He had guessed it because Ning Weidong had emphasized that the beef should be stewed until it was a little mushy. After the food was served, Ning Weidong started eating and got down to business. "Xiaowei, do you still remember Wang Jingsheng?" Ning Weidong picked up a piece of beef with tendons and stuffed it into his mouth.
The taste is a bit salty. At this time, people eat more staple foods, and the dishes are generally salty. "Wang Jingsheng~" Ning Wei blurted out, "The one from Anping Lane?" When Ning Wei followed Ning Weidong, he would occasionally see Wang Jingsheng but he was not familiar with him. It's been several years, I'm not sure whether I can remember it. Seeing Ning Weidong nod, Ning Wei said: "This guy is a big shot in our area..." Ning Wei's home is not far from the slum where Wang Jingsheng lives, separated by the Sui Fujing building. Ning Weidong nodded. When he was at Wang Jingsheng's house yesterday, he guessed that Wang Jingsheng had some unconventional livelihood. He asked, "Are you familiar with him?" "We are not from the same group, and we have no contact." Ning Wei shook his head, stared at Ning Weidong, and asked in a low voice: "Third brother, do you want to deal with him?" Ning Weidong took a bite of the dish. It would be difficult if Ning Wei and Wang Jingsheng were familiar with each other. He shook his chopsticks and said, "No, I have something to do with him. Can you help me keep an eye on him these few days..." Ning Weidong glanced at the chef who was sitting by the stove with his arms folded and listening to the radio after cooking. He was several meters away from them, and with the noise from the radio, he couldn't hear anything. He leaned forward a little, leaned close to Ning Wei and whispered, giving him a general idea of the situation. He was open with Ning Wei, not because he trusted him too much, but mainly because he had no reservations. After much deliberation, Ning Wei was the only person he could use. After Ning Wei finished listening, he was as expected shocked for a moment, but only for a moment, and then he said seriously: "Third brother, don't worry, leave this matter to me." Ning Weidong said "hmm", took out two big unity cards from his pocket and slapped them on Ning Wei's hand. Ning Wei was stunned, and instinctively raised his hand to refuse: "Third brother..." But before he could say anything, Ning Weidong held him down forcefully: "Xiao Wei, listen to me!" Ning Wei wanted to try harder, but found that Ning Weidong was surprisingly strong.
He is a gifted person among his peers. Although he looks thin, he is very strong and quick in reaction. He has also practiced wrestling and grappling. It is impossible for two or three people to get close to him. Although strength alone is not his strong point, the gap is too big. In an instant, Ning Wei seemed to have returned to a few years ago. Ning Weidong was almost an adult, but he was still a child. The gap was so huge. Ning Weidong didn't think anything of it, and continued: "It may not take long. You are my brother, so you should do something. But people have to eat and horses have to eat, so I can't let you fill the gap..." Ning Wei frowned, and when he couldn't struggle anymore, he gave up and said with a bitter face: "But Third Brother, this is too much." Ning Weidong smiled, patted his hands, and said nothing more. He just wants to give more. If he gives less, it would be better not to give any money. Ning Wei is now an unemployed vagrant, and the two big unity cards are by no means a small amount of money for him. Ning Weidong didn't mention the money anymore, and instead said carefully: "Don't worry about anything else, just keep an eye on the construction site..." Ning Wei is very smart. Ning Weidong said all these things, to put it bluntly, he was preventing Wang Jingsheng from taking all the spoils. Patting his chest, he said, "Brother San, don't worry~"... It was already half past two when we finished the meal. After coming out of the second meat shop, Ning Wei hurried back carrying the borrowed lunch box. Ning Weidong watched him walk away and went straight to the bus stop in another direction. As for how Ning Wei was keeping watch, he did not ask about the details. If he couldn't even do this well, it only showed that he was incompetent. The next step is to wait and see whether Wang Jingsheng can follow the clues and find the place where the Qi family hid the things. But then again, the final outcome of this matter depends more on luck. Ning Weidong did not put all his hopes on this matter. If that didn't work out, he had to come up with another plan. Ning Weidong walked towards the bus stop while thinking. After waiting for a few minutes, the bus came and drove towards the Red Star Factory. Get off at the south gate of the factory. Ning Weidong was planning to report for duty first, but as soon as he entered the factory gate, he heard someone calling him. Following the voice, I saw Wu Bingzhong coming out of the guard room at the South Gate. Although they are all from the Security Department, there are essential differences between Wu Bingzhong and Ning Weidong. Wu Bingzhong was in a large state-owned enterprise. Given his age and seniority, he basically had nothing to do. Not only did he work long day shifts, but no one would mind if he left early when he had something to do. "Angkor~" Ning Weidong responded, took out the box of "Da Qianmen" from his pocket, took out a cigarette and handed it over. Wu Bingzhong took one look and said with a smile, "Are you not going to beat your toad?" Ning Weidong's mouth twitched. He was still frightened when he thought of the biological weapon rolled up in newspaper on the day he first traveled through time.
He laughed and asked, "What do you want to ask me?" Wu Bingzhong took out a match and lit a cigarette, then pointed to the factory and said, "Let's go inside and talk." Ning Weidong followed, and the two of them came to the factory protection team’s barracks. It was a little after three o'clock and the factory protection team was going out for patrol and drill, so there was no one in the team barracks. Ning Weidong also wants to come and sign in. Although there was no one in the room, the stove was burning and the hot air hit my face when I entered the room. In order to avoid sweating from the heat, Ning Weidong unbuttoned his coat and took off his hat. Wu Bingzhong asked in surprise: "Had your hair cut?" Ning Weidong took a pen and made a mark on the attendance sheet on the small table. He lowered his head and said, "It's over the New Year, change your hairstyle." Then he put down the pen and said, "Brother Wu, what's the matter, please tell me." Wu Bingzhong said, "Well, what about Dayong? How are you going with that?" Ning Weidong's heart moved, and he couldn't help but have more thoughts. It seemed that Wu Bingzhong was particularly concerned about this matter, and he made a special trip to his house on Sunday. Although Wu and Lu lived in the same courtyard, in the original owner's memory, other things were not so active. Ning Weidong wondered secretly, was he overthinking or was there something fishy going on here? He didn't show any sign on his face, nor did he immediately reveal that the money was ready. He just wanted to hear what Wu Bingzhong had to say. Seeing that he didn't respond, Wu Bingzhong assumed that he was short of money and sighed, "Dongzi, I'm not saying you..." Ning Weidong listened patiently. Wu Bingzhong spoke earnestly and said a lot. At the end, he said, "Don't worry. If it really doesn't work... take the fifty from me for emergency use." Ning Weidong's heart moved. The fact that Wu Bingzhong was being so attentive without any reason made him more certain that something was wrong! (End of this chapter)
