Chapter 160 'Sincerity' Looking at the ugly look on Section Chief Zhang's face when he took the money, Manager Wang narrowed his eyes and sneered. He said in a deep voice: "If you get the money, you have to do the job well. Take down the singer as soon as possible. As for the others, don't delay. Otherwise, the money will not be easy to get~" Section Chief Zhang was startled. Hearing the threat in Manager Wang's words, his expression froze for a moment, and he quickly said, "I understand, I understand~" Manager Wang snorted and continued, "I'll give you one more month at most. There will be a tea party at the Machinery Bureau in July, and I want her to appear in front of Director Liu." Section Chief Zhang did not bargain this time. After all, he had just received the money and he had to show his attitude, otherwise it would be difficult to get the money next time. After some assurances, he came out of the hotel. Section Chief Zhang was walking down the stairs while touching the envelope in his inner pocket. That feeling made him feel extremely at ease. But when he arrived outside the hotel, the early summer evening breeze made him clear-headed, but then he frowned again.

Although what Manager Wang said just now was easy, giving money and fame, the actual operation is far from that simple. Not to mention anything else, just the opportunity to perform in Hong Kong is not easy to get. …… The next day, Ning Weidong came to the unit. Bai Fengyu mentioned to him yesterday that he should still pay attention to such matters, since she is his woman after all. As soon as he arrived at the office in the morning, Ning Weidong called Zhang Dajun: "Hey, Lao Zhang, can you help me check the situation of Section Chief Zhang of the street?" On the other end of the phone, Zhang Dajun was a little confused. Which street section chief Zhang? By the time I understood the situation, it was like eating a fly. Everyone in the neighborhood committee knew that he was the one who sent Bai Fengyu over. Now this Zhang guy wanted to take her away without saying a word or greeting her. He showed that he didn't take Zhang Dajun seriously! He quickly assured that he would handle the matter well. After hanging up the phone, Zhang Dajun's face was gloomy. Although Ning Weidong hadn't told him about his relationship with Bai Fengyu, Bai Fengyu's appearance and figure were there, and it was obvious that she was not just a louse on a monk's head. Otherwise, why didn't Ning Weidong help others, but only helped Bai Fengyu~ This made Zhang Dajun very uncomfortable. The leader entrusts this kind of thing to you, which shows his trust in you, but what is the result? The more Zhang Dajun thought about it, the angrier he became. This was simply outrageous! Zhang Dajun is the street section chief, and although they have the same surname, they have no relationship at all, and the two can't even be considered to know each other. Ever since he heard Ning Weidong say in person that he wanted to transfer him to the branch, Zhang Dajun made up his mind to follow Ning Weidong for the rest of his life. Not to mention a section chief, even if it was a director, as long as Ning Weidong gave the order, Zhang Dajun would dare to rush up and take a bite. …… On the contrary, Ning Weidong handed the matter over to Zhang Dajun and didn't spend any more time on it. Ning Weidong has more important things to do. After all, things between men and women are just a diversion, and there are countless more important things waiting for him. After finishing the call with Zhang Dajun, Ning Weidong did not hang up the phone. After hanging up, he dialed an internal line to call Zhao Ruyu over. A moment later, Zhao Ruyu came to the office.

Ning Weidong recounted what happened when Jiang Liya came yesterday. When Zhao Ruyi heard this, he immediately frowned and asked, "What do they mean by this?" Zhao Ruyu is not stupid, of course she understands who Jiang Liya represents. Ning Weidong said: "It's hard to say, but now it seems that they want to reconcile." Zhao Ruyi asked: "Reconciliation? Is this possible?" She knew the role Ning Weidong had played in the incident to overthrow Wang Kaifeng. Ning Weidong said calmly: "Nothing is impossible. They are all stopgap measures anyway." Zhao Ruyi asked solemnly: "Then what should we do?" Ning Weidong pursed his lips and said in a deep voice: "No matter what they are planning, we have to know what's going on. We need to speed up the progress of the trading company and also speed up the cooperation with the Li family siblings." Zhao Ruyi nodded: "I know." Ning Weidong said "hmm" and then asked, "By the way, last time we met with my eldest brother and his wife, did they say anything to you?" Zhao Ruyi said, "That's not the case, but I think my sister-in-law probably doesn't want to go to the American Division this time." Ning Weidong was a little surprised. Zhao Ruyi explained: "You don't know, my sister-in-law has lived in her uncle's house since she was a child, and her uncle was assassinated by America." Ning Weidong suddenly realized that there was such a festival. If this is the case, it would be a good result for Ning Weidong. At this point, Zhao Ruyu suddenly said, "By the way, when I got home last night, my cousin in Heilongjiang Province called me long distance." "What happened?" Ning Weidong asked in surprise. Based on what happened last time, this matter was probably over. The sudden call from Heilongjiang Province is probably about new developments. Sure enough, Zhao Ruyi said: "It is said that Liu Guangzhi's lover, Natasha, suddenly developed myocarditis..." Ning Weidong was startled and blurted out, "The person is gone?" Zhao Ruyi hurriedly shook her head: "No, he's been rescued and sent to the hospital. He's out of danger for the time being." Ning Weidong breathed a sigh of relief. He had originally wanted to make something of this Natasha, but if she really died, all his efforts would be in vain. But then again, if an ordinary person got this kind of acute illness, it would be very dangerous. Natasha was rescued this time, probably because of luck and also because someone had just asked about her situation a while ago. Zhao Ruyi's uncle was the superior of the farm. The people below didn't know the inside story. When they heard that Natasha was ill, they would definitely try to save her. Ning Weidong also understood the meaning of the call from Heilongjiang Province. This time Natasha's illness was an opportunity. Zhao Ruyu mentioned before that she wanted to transfer Liu Yun's elder brother and his family back to the capital. The reason why her eldest cousin did not support it was mainly because he was afraid of getting into trouble.

After all, Natasha's identity is quite special, so we should be prepared for the worst. But this time, things took a new turn after Natasha fell ill. We can use the name of going to Beijing for medical treatment to get the person back first, and we can talk about other things later. In this case, there is nothing to blame in principle. Moreover, everything follows the formal procedures, so even if someone wants to make trouble, no mistakes can be found. Sure enough, when Zhao Ruyu finished explaining the situation, it was almost the same as Ning Weidong had expected. Ning Weidong thought for a moment and said, "That's fine." Zhao Ruyi said: "Then I will contact them, but after I come back, how will I arrange it..." Ning Weidong said, "This is easy. Your business will be open soon. Put Liu Yun's brother there first and see what he can do. If it doesn't work, just make him a doorman and keep him there first." "Okay, I understand." Zhao Ruyu nodded and said, "By the way, I heard this morning that Director Lin of our factory's Labor and Personnel Department is going to be transferred to Shanghai. I think he can vacate a house. Should we think of a way?" Ning Weidong hadn't heard of this news: "Who told you this?" Zhao Ruyi said, "Sister Zhang from our office, her husband works in the Personnel Department." Ning Weidong suddenly realized that maybe someone wanted to do Zhao Ruyu a favor, so he knew that Ning Weidong was going to marry Zhao Ruyu and passed the news to him in advance. If they have this intention, they will definitely owe Sister Zhang a favor by buying the house. Ning Weidong asked: "What do you mean?" Zhao Ruyu actually had her own idea. She really didn't want to live in a slum with complicated interpersonal relationships. Even though she knew in her heart that she would not live there for long even if she got married, she just didn't want to go. However, Zhao Ruyu could not express this thought, in case Ning Weidong misunderstood her. Zhao Ruyi said, "I will obey you in everything." Ning Weidong smiled and said, "Listen to me, let's not act rashly. Don't you think about it, how could it be such a coincidence that when we get married, the factory will have an extra cadre building?" Zhao Ruyi asked solemnly: "Do you think there is something fishy going on here?" Ning Weidong said: "We must be on guard against others. Besides, do you think we will be short of a house?" When Zhao Ruyu thought of the courtyard house, she agreed with Ning Weidong's words. …… After Zhao Ruyu left, Ning Weidong couldn't help but ponder. What he said just now was not without purpose. Wang Guoqiang had just asked Jiang Liya to come for communication, and right after that there was an extra house in the factory. Is it really such a coincidence? Ning Weidong suspected that this house might be a sign of "sincerity" from Wang Guoqiang.

It’s still not certain, but there’s no need to guess. If this is true, the other party will follow up immediately. Sure enough, before lunchtime, Zhao Ruyu came over again: "You guessed it right! Jiang Liya came to see me just now..." Ning Weidong understood: "What did she say?" Zhao Ruyi said, "What else can I say? Just talk about that house and ask me if I want it." Ning Weidong asked: "What did you say?" Zhao Ruyi said, "I'll discuss it with you." Ning Weidong smiled and said, "Give her a reply this afternoon. We don't want that house." …… Afternoon, Wang Guoqiang’s office. Jiang Liya said Zhao Ruyu's reply with a gloomy face. Wang Guoqiang was not too surprised: "It's not surprising. The house really has no appeal to them." Jiang Liya frowned and said, "I don't object to what you said about Zhao Ruyu, but Ning Weidong... I've been to his house. He lives in a large compound and has to go to the dry toilet outside to use the toilet. There are only two rooms in total, less than 40 square meters..." Wang Guoqiang waved his hand and said, "Don't just look at the surface. As far as I know, his elder brother Ning Weiguo just moved out not long ago. As far as I know, the Wang family member resumed work in 75, and it has been four or five years now. His son-in-law wants an apartment and wants to move out of the compound. Do you think it's difficult?" "This..." Jiang Liya was speechless for a moment. Wang Guoqiang asked, "But he and Wang Yuzhen insisted on living here until this year. Why?" Jiang Liya thought for a moment and said, "You mean to seek stability?" Wang Guoqiang smiled and said, "I don't mean that. I mean that many people don't care about the quality of housing conditions." Jiang Liya said: "But I feel that Ning Weidong and Zhao Ruyu are not such people." Wang Guoqiang said calmly: "That's even simpler, you just don't like this apartment~" Jiang Liya was stunned. Is this not good enough? That building was newly built by the factory for middle-level cadres two years ago. It usually has two bedrooms and a living room, and the better ones have three bedrooms and a living room. By today's standards, that unit is quite good. (End of this chapter)
