Chapter 93 The Tigress Gets Married When they came back from outside and heard the sound of the door, Wang Yuzhen and her daughter were both stunned. Especially Wang Yuzhen, who immediately stood up to greet him: "Why are you back so soon?" She was worried that the two of them would not get along. Although Ning Weidong had changed a lot during this period, Wang Yuzhen still had too deep a memory of the original owner's sharp words. Don't have another sudden attack and offend Zhao Ruyu. Besides, Zhao Ruyu was not a pushover either, and was known to be difficult to deal with. The two of them were at loggerheads and ended up breaking up. Ning Weidong said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, Ruyi said she wanted to come back to help Auntie and you make dumplings. Isn't that right, Ruyi?" The corners of Zhao Ruyu's mouth twitched, and he thought to himself, when did I tell you that I can't even make dumplings! But facing Ning Weidong's gaze, she could only bear it and nodded quickly. Wang Yuzhen blinked her eyes, wondering if she had heard it wrong. When did Zhao Ruyu become so well-behaved?
And 'Ruyi', it's only been a few minutes and you're calling me so intimately? Before he knew it, Zhao Ruyu had already taken off his windbreaker and ran to wash his hands. Wang Yuzhen came up to Ning Weidong and whispered, "Weidong, how was your conversation going?" Ning Weidong said with a shameless smile: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, we must get it~" Wang Yuzhen was a little bit skeptical. It turned out that this brother-in-law, apart from being good-looking, was not very pleasing to women. But if I say no, it's hard to explain seeing how obedient Zhao Ruyu is. Is it really true that one thing can conquer another, like tofu dipped in brine? Wang Yuzhen was confused and went to the kitchen to help Zhao Ruyu. Ning Weidong returned to the living room. He didn't feel uncomfortable being alone, so he took out a magazine from under the coffee table and read it. After a while, Ning Weiguo and Zhao Lichun came down from upstairs and were a little surprised to see Ning Weidong sitting alone. Ning Weiguo asked: "Weidong, why are you alone?" Ning Weidong stood up, nodded to Zhao Lichun, and replied, "Ruyi went to help Auntie make dumplings." Ning Weiguo and Zhao Lichun were both stunned. It had only been a short while and he already called Ruyi? Especially Zhao Lichun, although he came here for marriage arrangement today, he should keep his mind rational and his feelings emotional. In his heart, Ning Weidong was not worthy of his sister in any other way except for his height and appearance. On the contrary, Ning Weiguo, through the previous contact and conversation, is indeed very capable. No wonder the Wang family values him so much and is willing to invest resources in him. Then the three of them sat down and chatted, mainly Ning Weiguo and Zhao Lichun, with Ning Weidong interjecting from time to time. The topic is mainly about economic work. Ning Weiguo works in the Machinery Bureau, and Zhao Lichun works in a ministry, focusing on energy. The two were considered the best among their peers, and even in a family like theirs, important positions were a scarce resource. Moreover, there was no strict family planning at that time, and since there were many children in the family, only a very small number of people could get a position.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people in each compound who are idle all day long. It’s hard to say exactly what those people are, but most of them are idlers abandoned by their families. Zhao Lichun, on the other hand, was a little surprised by Ning Weidong's performance. Although Ning Weidong didn't interrupt much, he always spoke at the key points and his opinions were very insightful. He could not help but overturn the impression that Ning Weidong was just an embroidered pillow, and took him more seriously. He suddenly asked: "Weidong, what do you think of our economic development in the next few years?" Ning Weidong raised his eyebrows, not expecting Zhao Lichun to suddenly ask him. Zhao Lichun added: "Whatever you say, there are no outsiders here." Ning Weidong smiled and organized his words a little: "When it comes to economic development, it depends on which sector of the economy you are talking about." Zhao Lichun was a little surprised. He thought Ning Weidong would take the opportunity to talk big, but he didn't expect him to analyze specific issues first. He couldn't help but become interested in what Ning Weidong would say next. "Oh? Tell me in detail." Zhao Lichun straightened up slightly. Ning Weidong looked at his brother and said slowly, "What is the most fundamental thing about economic development?" Zhao Lichun and Ning Weiguo paused slightly, not understanding why Ning Weidong suddenly jumped here. Ning Weidong asked himself and answered: "It's basically capital!" Zhao Lichun frowned. Even now, these two words were still somewhat sensitive. However, he was not in a hurry to interrupt, intending to listen to what his future brother-in-law had to say. Ning Weidong continued: "For the economy to develop, there must be continuous capital investment. The reason why our economy encountered difficulties in the past few years is that capital has dried up and there is no way to continue to invest." Zhao Lichun pursed his lips and nodded. Ning Weidong said: "But in the early 1970s, we started the 43 Plan through debt from America and Europe, which alleviated the problem of capital depletion to a certain extent and enabled our economy to achieve high growth for several consecutive years..." Ning Weiguo listened to his brother talking without showing any expression on his face, but he was shocked in his heart. He didn't know that this good-for-nothing brother had this side to him. Ning Weidong took a breath and continued, "But capital itself has a different background. In the 156s, we received support from Sulian. projects built our industrial foundation and also gave our economy a strong Sulian color. Now we have accepted Western capital. It is still capital, but the background is different. Westerners cannot allow their capital to integrate into our existing economic system. That is equivalent to directly giving us a blood transfusion, which is not in their interests." At this point, Ning Weidong chuckled: "After all, if you eat someone's meal, you have to use their bowl. Originally, we used the bowl of Sulian, but now that bowl can no longer be used, we have to switch to a Western bowl. But what about the leftovers in the original bowl? We can't just throw them away with the bowl..." After hearing what Ning Weidong said, Zhao Lichun and Ning Weiguo were speechless for a moment. They had also thought about this issue, but their thoughts were far less profound and straightforward than Ning Weidong's words. Ning Weidong continued, "Besides, even though the new bowls are served, there is not much food in them, far from enough to fill us up. So, we have to hold on to the new bowls, and we can't throw away the old bowls right away." Zhao Lichun suddenly realized that the "which piece" Ning Weidong just mentioned was this: "So what do you think, the original bowl is better, or this new bowl?" Ning Weidong waved his hand: "It's hard to say who is better. If you think Xinwan is better, it's nothing more than that Xinwan can provide financial support at present. But the fundamental reason is that it is still our original foundation. After cutting off the connection with Speedlink, this bowl becomes ours. This is a gold nugget and we must not lose it, otherwise it will be too late to regret it in the future." ……
Just at this moment, Wang Yuzhen came out of the kitchen and said with a smile, "What are you talking about? Get ready for dinner." Then she went to tidy up the dining table. At the same time, Zhao Ruyu came out wearing an apron and holding bowls and chopsticks in her hands. Ning Weiguo stood up and went to help, and Ning Weidong and Zhao Lichun followed. The Queen Mother came out of the kitchen, holding an enamel basin filled with freshly cooked dumplings. She said with a smile, "The next one will be ready soon. Let's eat it first before it gets cold." Ning Weiguo checked the time and asked, "Mom, isn't my dad coming back at noon?" Wang's mother said, "Don't worry about him. Once he goes out, we don't know when he will be back." Then she invited the Zhao brothers and sisters to the table and said to Wang Yuzhen, "Go to your father's study and get a bottle of wine. Let Weiguo and Weidong have a drink with Lichun." She also said to Zhao Ruyi, "We female comrades can just drink some soda." Zhao Ruyu nodded, behaving quite well in front of her elders. In addition to the hot dumplings, there were four dishes on the table, two cold dishes and two hot dishes. After a few drinks, Zhao Lichun brought up the topic he hadn't finished talking about before: "Weidong, you just said that economic development should be divided into two parts, but the economy itself is an organism. It's easy to say that it can be divided into two parts, but in practice, it's probably not easy to do~" The three women at the table looked at Ning Weidong in surprise, not knowing what was going on. What did the three men say just now? If it was Zhao Lichun and Ning Weiguo who were discussing this issue, they wouldn't be surprised, but Ning Weidong...heard what Zhao Lichun meant, and even asked for advice. Ning Weidong said: "Of course it's not easy. It's like a person who has another person's limbs transplanted to him. He will experience skin pain, discomfort, and rejection... But this is necessary. It is the pain that must be experienced in economic transformation. As I said before, we have to follow the rules of whose money we take." …… At around 1:00 ., after lunch, the two families chatted for a while and Zhao Lichun prepared to leave. Today, things are quite satisfactory for both parties. As far as Wang Yuzhen was concerned, Zhao Ruyu did not seem as "wild" as rumored, and she performed well in helping in the kitchen. For Zhao Lichun, Ning Weidong was an unexpected surprise. The younger brother of the Wang family's son-in-law turned out to be more than just a pretty face. Through the conversation, Zhao Lichun concluded that Ning Weidong had a deep understanding of political economics, and some of his views were even refreshing to him. And my younger sister seems to like this guy very much. Although the importance of the marriage between the two families far outweighs Zhao Ruyu's personal happiness, it would be best if Zhao Ruyu's happiness could be taken into consideration while the marriage was taking place. Unexpectedly, Zhao Ruyu rolled her eyes at this moment, deliberately showing her little girl's attitude, and whispered: "Brother, why don't you go first? Ning Weidong said he wants to treat me to a movie." Ning Weidong was stunned, thinking, fuck, when did I ask you to watch a movie? This woman is really good at making something out of nothing. Seeing Zhao Lichun looking over, he couldn't deny it and nodded quickly: "Brother Zhao, don't worry, I will definitely send Ruyi home after the movie." Zhao Lichun grinned and responded, suddenly remembering the saying, "A woman's heart is as deep as the sea." Before coming, he was making a lot of noise and was so unhappy and disliked it. As a result, when I saw that the young man looked very energetic, he wanted to go to the movies with others within a few hours. No wonder they say girls can’t be kept when they grow up? Ning Weiguo and Wang Yuzhen were overjoyed. It seemed that the two of them were in love with each other. But he didn't know that if Ning Weidong hadn't caught Zhao Ruyu's weakness, the two of them would have started fighting long ago. Zhao Lichun came by car. Although he had only drunk a few glasses of wine and was far from being drunk, as the eldest son and the only male in the Zhao family, he was quite cautious. He did not drive before leaving, but borrowed a driver from the compound's car team to take him back.
Ning Weidong saw this and secretly admired it in his heart. A son of a wealthy family should not sit in a dangerous position. With this cautious attitude, his future will not be low. After seeing Zhao Lichun off, Ning Weidong went to say goodbye to the Queen Mother, and then left with Zhao Ruyu. As soon as I went out, I ran into Ning Lei, who had been playing outside for half a day and was coming back with two boys of similar age. Ning Lei asked curiously, "Hey? Why did you leave, Uncle San?" He looked at Zhao Ruyu next to him. Ning Weidong smiled and said, "Take your Third Aunt to see a movie." "Is this Third Aunt?" Ning Lei blinked. Zhao Ruyu blushed. Unexpectedly, one of the two children who came back with Ning Lei suddenly shouted, "The tigress is getting married!" Zhao Ruyu's face turned dark instantly and he looked at the shouting child. The child was so frightened that he shrank his neck, turned around and ran away without saying a word, scaring Ning Lei and the other child. Zhao Ruyi gnashed his teeth in anger and glared at Ning Lei with a fierce look on his face: "What's that kid's name?" Ning Lei subconsciously took a step back and stammered, "He-he is not from this hospital. I-I don't know either." After saying that, he pulled his friend next to him and ran back into the house. However, Zhao Ruyu was still upset. Ning Weidong teased, "I didn't realize you're so famous." Zhao Ruyu was extremely depressed and almost blurted out a curse, but she swallowed it back. …… On the other side, Zhao Lichun returned home by car. As soon as he entered the room, he saw his second sister Zhao Yushui, brother-in-law, nephew and niece were all there. Father Zhao was laughing and teasing his two-year-old grandson. When he heard the door open, he turned his head and looked. He didn't see his little daughter, so he frowned and asked, "Where's Ruyi?" Zhao Lichun knew that his father was thinking wrong. Zhao Ruyu had always been against the marriage proposal, and although she had agreed reluctantly in the end, it was not surprising that she ran away halfway given the girl's personality. She hurriedly explained, "Dad, Ruyi is quite satisfied with the man, and they went to the movies after dinner." This time, not only Zhao's father, but also Zhao Yushui and his wife were surprised. No one knows Zhao Ruyu's temper better than them. Is the sun rising from the west today? Father Zhao nodded and said, "It seems that this girl has grown up." He sighed a little after saying this. The willful and naughty little girl had grown up, which meant that he had also grown old. Zhao Yushui was even more curious and asked, "Brother, what does the guy who went on a blind date with Ruyi look like? Let me see his photo." Before, she only knew about the marriage arrangement and had never seen a photo of Ning Weidong. Zhao Lichun took out the photo and handed it over. Zhao Yushui took one look and said with a smile, "This young man looks good! How tall is he?" Zhao Lichun said: " meters tall, like an athlete."
"No wonder." Zhao Yushui suddenly realized that as the second sister, she was well aware of her younger sister's obsession with height. Father Zhao didn't care about this and asked, "I went there today. What do you think of him?" Zhao Lichun understood that what kind of person he was was not about his character but about his abilities and knowledge. As for character, in fact, most people cannot be said to have any character. It’s just that their own value is not enough and they don’t encounter too much temptation. Only when you have reached a certain level, have a certain level of understanding of wealth and power, and have firm beliefs, are you qualified to talk about character. (End of this chapter)
