Chapter 25 Three kinds of people Late at night, if you look down from the air, most of the capital city in this era is pitch black. There was absolutely no nightlife, only the gates of some units and the street lights were on. The roads were empty and commuter buses were moving very fast. It took 40 minutes to take the bus in the morning, but now it only took 20 minutes to reach Fuchengmen. Ning Weidong got off at the station, and his home was still four or five hundred meters away. I got out of the car, yawned, and walked home along the sidewalk under the street lights. It took only a few minutes to reach the gate of the slum. A few years ago, if you lived in this kind of compound, there would be someone special to open and close the gate at night. Usually the old man in the front yard would hold the key, and if you needed to go in or out for something, you had to knock on the door and call for help. In the past two years, people have gradually stopped locking their doors, and some slums have even simply removed the door panels. Ning Weidong walked in and found that all the houses in the front yard had turned off the lights.
Go through the Moon Gate and return to the East Courtyard. Ning Weidong originally wanted to go back to his room and sleep, but he didn't expect that the light in his room was still on in the late night! He paused, turned around and walked upstairs, knocked twice on the door, and asked, "Brother, are you still awake?" It was the middle of the night and Wang Yuzhen was also there. It would be awkward to go in rashly. Ning Weiguo in the room said, "Hmm," "Come in~" Ning Weidong then pushed the door open, lifted the curtain and went in. Next to the eight-immortals table, Ning Weiguo was wearing a coat and looked tired. There are many books scattered on the table. "It's time to get off work~" Ning Weiguo put down his pen, stood up and stretched. Ning Weidong hummed, glanced at the half-written manuscript of Ning Weiguo, sat down next to him and said, "You must be under a lot of pressure recently~" Ning Weiguo was slightly surprised. He found that Ning Weidong's tone, eyes, and speaking attitude were all different from the past. Ning Weiguo said calmly, "Why do you think so?" Ning Weidong said: "A key position means key power, and key power is always scarce. At most, you can get an opportunity from your sister-in-law. Whether you can hold the position firmly depends on you. How can you not be under great pressure?" Ning Weiguo couldn't help but be surprised. He did not hide the fact that he was promoted to section chief from Ning Weidong, but he had always thought that Ning Weidong did not understand what this young position of section chief meant. This position is very difficult to hold. The reason why it fell into Ning Weiguo's hands may be a stopgap measure after a game of chess. Ning Weiguo let out a long sigh and said with a wry smile: "Weidong, you are really..." Having said that, he didn't know how to describe his younger brother. It was as if I suddenly got it overnight. Ning Weiguo was very happy about the change in his brother, and the fatigue from writing materials all night was also relieved a lot.
Then I asked him if there was anything going on at work. Normally, if Ning Weidong came back in the middle of the night, given his personality, even if he saw the lights on, he would probably go back to his room to sleep and would not come over specially. Ning Weidong pursed his lips and said, "I have something to do. I came here because I saw you were still awake." Then he told him that Wu Bingzhong had come to see him during the day and asked him to pay attention to Ximen's situation. Ning Weiguo's expression turned serious. After Ning Weidong finished speaking, he hesitated for a moment and asked, "Weidong, what are you thinking?" In the past few days, some changes in Ning Weidong made Ning Weiguo look at him with new eyes, especially the few words he just said, which were quite insightful. Ning Weidong said: "Brother, I think there may be a lot of implications behind this matter. I want to report the situation to Section Chief Li." Ning Weiguo was an old man in the factory, so how could he not understand Ning Weidong's intention? He wanted to use this incident to build up his relationship with Li Peihang. It was true that Li Peihang was Ning Weiguo's technical secondary school classmate, but the original owner had been in the factory for more than a year and had not yet established contact with Section Chief Li. Ning Weiguo nodded: "Want me to take you there?" It was obvious that Ning Weidong was not cut out for this job before, and Ning Weiguo didn’t have much to say about it. At most, he could use his connections to help Ning Weidong find a better position in the future. But now Ning Weidong suddenly came to his senses, and Ning Weiguo couldn't help but feel a bit like "brothers should fight together to save the tiger". It doesn't matter how great Ning Weidong is, as long as he can reach the average level, it will be enough. Don’t forget that Ning Weidong has another advantage, which is that he is very energetic. He is over meters tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, handsome and masculine, which just fits the current aesthetic line. If Wang Yuzhen introduces him to a man with a good family background, he might be able to have a chance to live off her. By then, the brothers will each have their own resources, and they will be able to coordinate with each other and be more relaxed. In fact, this is what Wang Yuzhen has always thought. This is the reason why Wang Yuzhen is so dissatisfied with Bai Fengyu. It's a pity that the original owner had always been a hopeless case. No matter how good he looked, he was just a superficial person. Ning Weidong said: "No, I will go by myself. Please call me in advance tomorrow, otherwise it will be difficult for me to come to your house." "Okay~" Ning Weiguo nodded, and in his heart he was more appreciative of Ning Weidong's idea of going alone. The experiences of the past few years have taught Ning Weiguo one thing: you must never pin your hopes on others at critical moments. After finishing his business, Ning Weidong stood up and said, "I'm going back now. You should also go to bed early. You have to go to work tomorrow~" "Got it~" Ning Weiguo responded, sent Ning Weidong to the door, and reminded him: "Li Peihang is... not an ordinary person. Be careful when dealing with him." Ning Weidong said "hmm". From this sentence, he knew that Ning Weiguo and Li Peihang were just classmates and did not have a deeper friendship. Ning Weiguo added: "His uncle is Li Weibing." Ning Weidong was startled. Although the original owner was a young and inexperienced person, he had worked at the Red Star Factory for more than a year, and the senior leaders in the factory still knew about him.
Li Weibing is the head of the Red Star Factory and is actually Li Peihang’s uncle! Originally, Ning Weidong wanted to use this opportunity to establish contact with Li Peihang, and then slowly develop the relationship, lying in wait. Who knew I would catch a big fish! But on second thought, it’s not surprising. Ning Weiguo and Wang Yuzhen have many classmates from technical secondary school, and the people they are still in contact with after more than ten years can be divided into three types. Either he is a close friend with whom you can confide, or he has strong personal abilities, or he has a good background. Li Peihang must take the same one. …… The next day, Ning Weidong slept until after nine in the morning. When I got home from work yesterday, it was almost one o'clock. I talked to Ning Weiguo for a while, took off my clothes, and got into bed. It was already past one o'clock. I thought about it for a while and fell asleep at two in the morning. Fortunately, I’m on night shift today, so there’s no rush to get up. Ning Lei ran out early in the morning. School was about to start in less than ten days. The naughty kid realized that he didn't have much time left, so he started to seize the time... and have fun. (End of this chapter)
