1979 My Life in the Era

Chapter 197: Chapter 197

Chapter 197 As soon as Bai Fengqin entered the room, she asked, "Brother Weidong, what happened?" Ning Weidong turned around to look at them, smiled and said, "Nothing, just a small matter." Bai Fengyu, who was following behind, breathed a sigh of relief. Although she guessed that Ning Weidong only reported good news and not bad news, her heart was made more at ease by his words. Anyway, she believed whatever Ning Weidong said. Bai Fengqin, on the other hand, pursed her lips and said, "Brother Weidong, has there been any change in Qian Xiaopeng's situation?" Ning Weidong saw that Bai Fengqin was worried, so he looked fierce and his cheeks puffed up like a guinea pig. He couldn't help but smile, stretched out his hand and put it on Bai Fengqin's head, rubbing her hair and saying, "Don't worry, it's okay~" Bai Fengqin was stunned. She didn't expect Ning Weidong to do this to her. Her cheeks turned red instantly. She muttered like a mosquito, "Oh~hateful". Bai Fengyu was also stunned for a moment, and glared at Ning Weidong unhappily, thinking that Bai Fengqin had always had feelings for Ning Weidong.

Ning Weidong acted casually, and only realized something was wrong when his hand fell on Bai Fengqin's head. But since I had already touched it, it would have been too deliberate to pull back suddenly, so I simply ruffled Bai Fengqin's hair. Bai Fengqin's face turned red, and she stood there in a daze for a few seconds, then quickly turned around and rushed out. Bai Fengyu rolled her eyes at Ning Weidong and whispered, "Why did you hire her~" Ning Weidong chuckled: "Forgot, forgot~" and went over to hug Bai Fengyu and kissed her. Bai Fengyu whispered: "Stop making trouble, you have something important to do~" Ning Weidong said slyly: "Touch and pierce, it won't delay." Bai Fengyu was secretly delighted and cursed him as a hooligan, but she pulled out the bottom of her clothes by herself. Ning Weidong reached in and rubbed it. Bai Fengyu looked out the door, fearing that Bai Fengqin would suddenly turn back. After enduring a few seconds of fear, Bai Fengyu pressed Ning Weidong's hand through his clothes and said, "Okay, I have to go back." After saying that, he ran away guiltily. As soon as he went out, he saw a person standing against the wall outside. It was Bai Fengqin who had just run away. Bai Fengqin ran out just now, and the hot wind outside cleared her mind and she was about to turn around and go back. I just happened to see Ning Weidong putting his hand inside. Bai Fengqin's heart tightened, and a thought suddenly popped up in her mind: how nice it would be if she was the one being touched by Brother Weidong. But it was just a thought, and as soon as she realized it, she shook her head quickly, feeling embarrassed and annoyed. At this time Bai Fengyu came out, and Bai Fengqin's mood became even more complicated. Bai Fengyu covered her chest and said, "You damn girl, you scared me." Bai Fengqin pouted and didn't respond. She glanced at her cousin's chest, thinking to herself that she was not inferior in size, and Brother Weidong would probably like her very much. Just as Bai Fengqin was daydreaming, hurried footsteps were heard coming from outside the moon gate in the east courtyard.

Wang Zipeng led someone in. The two sisters of the Bai family came to their senses and before they had time to think too much, they watched the two men enter Ning Weidong's house one after another. The two looked at each other, both a little worried. But he knew he couldn't help much at this moment, so he had to return home quietly. In Ning Weidong's room, Wang Zipeng went in to say hello and introduced, "Leader, this is Comrade Feng Bing I told you about." Ning Weidong stood up with a smile and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Feng Bing: "Comrade Feng Bing, nice to meet you." Feng Bing was in his early thirties, and he was handsome, with a square face and regular features. He wore a pair of black glasses and had a proper smile on his face: "Comrade Ning Weidong, I have heard of your name for a long time." After the two shook hands, Ning Weidong said, "Please sit down." The three of them sat down without any long-winded politeness. He went straight to the point: "Comrade Feng Bing, I heard from Brother Wang that you received a letter reporting me?" Feng Bing smiled, and to Ning Weidong's surprise, he actually took out a brown paper envelope directly from his pocket! Ning Weidong frowned, feeling somewhat disgusted with this person. Just bring the letter here, what does this mean? You have to know that Ning Weidong didn't ask him for anything, and there is no point in intercepting the letter of complaint. If someone really wants to target Ning Weidong, they can just continue to write letters. As long as you have long hands, you can write as many letters of denunciation as you want. However, Ning Weidong did not say anything immediately. He glanced at the letter, then looked at Feng Bing and reached out to pick up the letter. The envelope has been opened. This is not surprising. Since Feng Bing wants to use this letter to do Ning Weidong a favor, he must know the importance of this favor. If it was just a small silent report that would not pose a serious threat to Ning Weidong, he would probably find it difficult to sell this favor. Ning Weidong took out the letter paper inside. The letter of complaint inside was only a thin sheet, folded twice. After unfolding it, I found that the letter paper was written in very neat Song Dynasty style characters. If it wasn't written in pencil, Ning Weidong would have suspected at first glance that it was printed by a printing machine. The writer did this on purpose to conceal his handwriting. As for the content, it was also very simple. It reported that the process of Ning Weidong's promotion from a collective worker to the deputy section chief of the Security Department was not in compliance with regulations, and the procedure of "working instead of doing" was particularly emphasized. Ning Weidong narrowed his eyes and guessed the focus of the opponent's attack. It suddenly dawned on me that it was no wonder that Qian Dacheng had used his connections to go to the Personnel Department to look at the files. Although Ning Weidong had passed the correspondence course, obtained a secondary technical school diploma, and obtained cadre status. However, the personnel relations procedures have not been completed, so the personnel file is still in the status of work-for-work. In addition, in the second half of this year, the authorities have issued a document to strictly manage the practice of workers replacing cadres. If Ning Weidong does not have cadre status and is still in the state of workers replacing cadres, this letter of complaint is really powerful. But now... there was no threat to him at all.

Ning Weidong finished reading it, smiled, put the letter back, looked at Feng Bing and said, "Comrade Feng Bing, what do you want?" Feng Bing smiled and looked at Wang Zipeng next to him: "Comrade Weidong, don't ask for anything. We are all friends, and it is only natural for us to help each other." Ning Weidong nodded. It seemed that Feng Bing didn't have any specific demands. He probably just saw this letter and thought it was an opportunity for speculation. Ning Weidong also estimated that the reason why Feng Bing did this was probably related to the situation on Zhao Ruyu's side. If it was just for Ning Weidong, Ning Weidong didn't think there was any need for the other party to curry favor with him. Even as Ning Weiguo's younger brother, or the son-in-law of the Zhao family, there was nothing special about him. But with Zhao Ruyu's trading company, the situation is different. That's where people can really make real money. Recently, as Zhao Ruyu found many young people who were familiar to him in the compound, the reputation of Dongyi Company gradually spread. Feng Bing works in a government agency, so he should also be able to come into contact with it. According to information provided by Wang Zipeng, Feng Bing himself had a humble background and could not reach Zhao Ruyu's level, so he wanted to find another way. When he found out that someone had reported Ning Weidong, he just happened to offer the treasure. After thinking this through, Ning Weidong's smile became a little playful. Ning Weidong is not disgusted by such people, as he does not have that kind of mental obsession. There is no need to offend people like Feng Bing. Let's put friends aside and make use of each other. However, the value of the letter Feng Bing took out needs to be discussed. Obviously, Feng Bing felt that bringing this letter was a great help to Ning Weidong. But Ning Weidong couldn't accept such a big favor. "Comrade Feng Bing, if you say so, then I will accept you as my friend." Ning Weidong pushed the letter back to Feng Bing slowly, "But you should put the letter back to where you took it from. Since we are friends, I cannot let my friend make mistakes because of me." Feng Bing was stunned. He didn't expect Ning Weidong to react like this. He acknowledged him as a "friend", but at the same time pushed back the report letter. What does this mean? Ning Weidong continued, "Besides, since someone has written to the organization to report this, it means that they have doubts about me personally. If this is the case, then we should investigate. I completely trust the organization." Feng Bing blinked his eyes, then realized that Ning Weidong was fearless and not afraid of the letter of complaint at all. What I mean is, I can talk to you as a friend, but I don’t owe you a favor. Feng Bing licked his lips. This result was beyond his expectations. He didn't expect Ning Weidong to be so tough. You know, many people are now in a panic because of the policy of working in lieu of work. Why Ning Weidong? He couldn't figure it out. However, Feng Bing is not a stubborn person. Although this result is not perfect, it is not unacceptable to him. At least through this letter I can get in touch with Ning Weidong, and through Ning Weidong I can get in touch with Zhao Ruyu of Dongyi Company.

Just as Ning Weidong guessed, Feng Bing took the risk to intercept the letter of complaint this time with the purpose of getting the approval document. But this matter cannot be rushed. Feng Bing quickly pondered and weighed the pros and cons in his mind. He laughed and put the letter back: "Comrade Weidong, I was inconsiderate." "You can't say that." Ning Weidong patted Feng Bing on the shoulder and said, "I am very grateful that you can come tonight. Since we are all friends, don't call me Comrade Weidong. You can call me Lao Ning and I will call you Lao Feng." Then he looked at Wang Zipeng and said, "Brother Wang, please make arrangements. I will treat you tomorrow night." Wang Zipeng quickly agreed. Feng Bing was secretly delighted. No matter what Ning Weidong's attitude was towards the letter of complaint, this statement was enough. Afterwards, Wang Zipeng and Feng Bing didn't stay long, and Ning Weidong sent them out. Feng Bing repeatedly said "stay", not letting him go any further. Wang Zipeng accompanied Feng Bing to the gate of the compound. After watching him ride away on his bicycle, he turned back and came to Ning Weidong. What happened tonight was undoubtedly an opportunity for him to improve his relationship with Ning Weidong. When he returned to the house, Ning Weidong was waiting, guessing that Wang Zipeng would come back. Wang Zipeng entered the room, glanced cautiously behind him, and lowered his voice to ask, "Leader, is Feng Bing okay?" In fact, Wang Zipeng was a little nervous, fearing that Feng Bing had other purposes this time. If something really happened, he would be in trouble. After all, he was the middleman who brought Feng Bing here. What’s even worse is that he still doesn’t know what is written in the letter of complaint. Ning Weidong smiled and said, "You are the one who brought the person here. If you have any questions, ask me." Wang Zipeng choked and smiled bitterly, "Leader, I... I am afraid that something might happen. How dare I neglect it..." Ning Weidong didn't wait for him to explain, and said with a smile: "Brother Wang, I know you, what is our relationship." Wang Zipeng breathed a sigh of relief. Ning Weidong added: "By the way, I remember that my sister-in-law's father is the leader of the First Light Industry Bureau?" Wang Zipeng was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Ning Weidong suddenly jumped here, and nodded quickly: "I guess so~ A deputy director, he should retire soon." Ning Weidong smiled and said calmly, "You can discuss this with your sister-in-law later. I'll tell Ruyi that no matter how much you earn, you can use it to supplement the family expenses." Wang Zipeng's eyes lit up. Although Ning Weidong's words were cryptic, he was a smart man and knew what Ning Weidong meant. They were asked to use Qian Fangqi's father's connections to find a way to get some information from the First Light Industry Bureau. Although Wang Zipeng's father-in-law's position means he won't get a big share of the profits, there will always be some benefits, more or less. Wang Zipeng has always been very positive towards Ning Weidong both in the hospital and in the factory. No matter what the original intention of such a person is, he must not discourage the other party's enthusiasm. To put it bluntly, if you keep a dog at home, you still need to give it bones to eat~ "Leader! I..." Wang Zipeng was excited. He knew that many people were dealing with approval documents nowadays, and that thing was very profitable. It’s just their family’s situation. They can see but cannot touch the threshold of this industry. At least at this time, the approval process is not as rampant as it was in the late 1980s. Ning Weidong gave him this opportunity, which was equivalent to giving him money, and this time it was not just a few hundred dollars, but several thousand dollars, or even tens of thousands.

As for the exact amount, it depends on how much resources his father-in-law can mobilize. With excitement, Wang Zipeng left Ning Weidong's house. Ning Weidong returned to the house. Ning Weidong is not worried about the letter of complaint. He has a technical secondary school diploma and is in the process of obtaining cadre status. There is no problem of working in lieu of work. But Qian Dacheng's move is really like a toad crawling on your feet, it doesn't bite but it disgusts you. Ning Weidong narrowed his eyes slightly. Originally, his attitude towards Qian Xiaopeng was very clear. Since one leg was broken, that was about it. After all, killing is not a crime, and given Qian Xiaopeng's situation, it is unlikely that he would be killed with one blow. But the Qian family was not very tactful and actually dared to fight back! …… The next day, Ning Weidong came to the unit. The old saying goes that enemies often meet on a narrow road, which is absolutely true. Ning Weidong had just parked his bicycle when he saw Qian Dacheng walking out of the bicycle shed after parking his bicycle. Ning Weidong deliberately slowed down a step and greeted the other party, then said with a smile: "Chief Qian, what a coincidence, thank you for your gift." Qian Dacheng was startled, but his expression remained calm as he asked in surprise, "Chief Ning, what gift?" Ning Weidong said calmly: "Nothing, I'm leaving first." Looking at Ning Weidong's back, Qian Dacheng's face darkened and his heart began to beat fast. He had just arranged to submit the report letter yesterday, but Ning Weidong said some incomprehensible words to him early this morning. What does this mean? Did Ning Weidong know? But on second thought, he felt that it was unlikely. Ning Weidong was not a god who could predict the future. The letter of complaint he sent out yesterday probably hasn't reached the desk of the relevant leader yet, so how could Ning Weidong know about it? Qian Dacheng comforted himself, thinking that Ning Weidong was just bluffing, but he didn't know that what he thought was impossible actually happened. Ning Weidong walked to the office upstairs, picked up the phone and dialed as soon as he entered the room: "Hello, Lao Zhang, it's me. I came over this morning when I had nothing to do." Ever since Zhang Dajun was transferred to the district branch, Ning Weidong has been able to command him more easily. Originally in the police station, Ning Weidong and Zhang Dajun had a relatively equal relationship, even though Zhang Dajun later clearly defected from Chu Zhongxin's command to Ning Weidong's side. To put it bluntly, at that time, Zhang Dajun did not get any real benefits from Ning Weidong. Working hard, working hard, is not just talk, you have to put in the corresponding resources. It was not until this time, when Zhang Dajun was officially transferred to the district, that he was able to truly secure his seat on Ning Weidong's ship. Correspondingly, Ning Weidong felt more justified in ordering Zhang Dajun to do things his way. Less than an hour after the call, Zhang Dajun came to Ning Weidong's office.

"Leader, what's going on?" he asked hurriedly before he could catch his breath. Ning Weidong's eyes flashed with a sinister look, and he said in a deep voice: "Qian Xiaopeng's brother wrote a letter of complaint to our superiors..." After hearing what Ning Weidong said, Zhang Dajun immediately became furious: "How can this be! Qian is so shameless!" There was a saying in the past that if the master humiliates the minister, the minister will die. Although the feudal personal dependence relationship no longer exists, the nature of human relationships has not changed. When Ning Weidong encountered such a thing, Zhang Dajun had to show even more extreme anger than Ning Weidong. Otherwise, what do you mean? Ning Weidong was sued, so he deserved it. Ning Weidong raised his hand: "Old Zhang, don't get excited." Zhang Dajun gritted his teeth and said, "Leader, leave this matter to me. I will kill those bastards." "Not really~" Ning Weidong said calmly: "I originally thought that this matter would end here, but now that they insist on making trouble, we will accompany them to the end. Lao Zhang, go check for me. Qian Xiaopeng is that kind of person. He has been fooling around outside for these years. I don't believe that he is clean!" Zhang Dajun said: "Don't worry, give me a day..." Before Zhang Dajun could finish, Ning Weidong waved his hand and said, "Don't resort to trickery. What I want is something that is set in stone. It is based on facts. Do you understand? No one can overturn it." Zhang Dajun's expression froze. Ning Weidong knew what he was thinking, so he reached out and took out a cigarette and threw it to Zhang Dajun: "Old Zhang, what is meant by being simple yet clever? It means to do things thoroughly, build a strong camp, fight a stupid battle, and not exaggerate at all. Just tell the truth, do you understand~" Zhang Dajun understood Ning Weidong’s intention, which was to make it an ironclad case. But he didn't dare to promise anything about this matter. He had dared to make the guarantee just now because he had the means, but now Ning Weidong obviously did not want to use those means. Zhang Dajun hesitated slightly, then leaned forward and said, "But~what if..." Ning Weidong understood what he meant by 'what if', that is, what if Qian Xiaopeng really had no black material on him. Ning Weidong said: "If that happens... then even if he is a man, I will admit it." After hearing this, Zhang Dajun felt a little relieved. He was afraid that Ning Weidong would be both the leader and the loser, and this thing would not be done. "I understand. I'll go now." After saying that, he left like a gust of wind. Ning Weidong stood by the window in his office, watching Zhang Dajun downstairs riding a sidecar motorcycle and rushing out of the factory gate. As for the result, Ning Weidong was not worried. Judging from the way Qian Xiaopeng treated Bai Fengqin this time, it can be seen that this kid is used to being domineering. This was definitely not an impulsive act, and it was not his first offense. There is definitely something wrong with him. As for how long it will take to find out, it depends on Zhang Dajun's ability. Just at this moment, someone knocked on the office door, bringing Ning Weidong back to his senses. "Come in~" Ning Weidong shouted after returning to his seat. It was Ning Wei who pushed the door open.

"Xiao Wei?" Ning Weidong was slightly surprised: "Why are you here?" Ning Wei closed the door and said with a smile: "Third brother, didn't you ask me to find a house..." "Have you found it?" Ning Weidong leaned back in his chair and motioned Ning Wei to pour himself some water. It was a hot day and Ning Wei rode his bike here with his shirt soaked. It was Ning Wei who arranged for Shi Xiaonan to live in the tube building last time. Ever since he was injured by the female doctor at the Red Star Factory Hospital, Ning Wei has become much more mature and has become more cautious in his work. He could guess the relationship between Ning Weidong and Shi Xiaonan, but he didn't ask any more questions from beginning to end. Ning Wei said, "There are two places. One is on the side of Di'anmen Street. It is a small courtyard separated from the big house. It has a separate door on the side facing the street. It was originally the back room. There are five northern rooms in total." Ning Weidong listened but didn't rush to speak. Ning Wei continued, "There is another one, which is the staff housing of the Ministry of Railways. It has two bedrooms and a living room on the third floor, but it can only be rented, not bought." Ning Weidong frowned and said without comment: "Just these two?" Ning Wei said, "Originally, there was a western wing in the front yard of a large compound, plus an annex room. Aunt Qin, who cooks for the company, lives in that compound." Ning Weidong's mouth twitched slightly, and he thought to himself that it was a nest of trouble. Ning Wei said, "But the compound is crowded with people and eyes, it's not as quiet as the two places in front. I took the initiative to go there." Ning Weidong nodded, thought for a moment and said, "The families living in the building are all from the same unit. It would be awkward for outsiders to move in. Let's forget it. What's the situation of that small courtyard? Tell me in detail." Ning Wei put the courtyard first, guessing that Ning Weidong would like it, and immediately started introducing it. Ning Weidong frowned slightly after listening to this and asked, "Does the house need to be renovated?" Ning Wei just described that two families had lived in this courtyard before, but later the original owners took back the house and planned to sell it directly. The house is in average condition, and its only advantage is that it has its own door and door. The north room in the front also has no rear windows, so it is very private. Ning Wei said: "I've seen the house. If it's cleaned up a bit, it will be fine for normal living. There shouldn't be any need for major renovations." Ning Weidong nodded and said, "That's it. Go to the Housing Management Office to find Yang Zhengdong and ask him to help with the formalities." "Don't worry~" Ning Wei said: "By the way, we need to go through the formalities, whose name should be put..." Ning Weidong said: "Just use her name, and go ask her for her ID later." Ning Wei nodded in agreement and was about to leave after finishing the job. Ning Weidong stopped him and said, "By the way, Xiaowei, the family building you mentioned just now..." Ning Wei was slightly stunned and didn't understand what Ning Weidong meant. (Six thousand words!!) (End of this chapter)
