Chapter 143 Ambition

"...To be honest, the rent is not enough for a few bricks, I really don't care."

"That is, that is."

"Not to mention anything else, just the returned belongings are enough for me. How much can I spend, a bad old man? I can't spend this money all my life."

"That's right, that's right. I know your ability best. Isn't it easy to get some money? Still using the seller as a pawn? You'll get everything in the ghost market every time."

"Say I'm unbalanced and want them to vacate a room one by one? How many years have I been an old neighbor! How can I do such an unreasonable thing?"

"Don't be angry, don't be angry, drink some tea first, don't be angry. If you want to be angry about such a trivial matter, it's not worth it to break your bones."

Ning Weimin held a teapot and refilled Kang Shude with a cup of tea.

But the old man couldn't let go, and said angrily.

"It's a trivial matter? It's about reputation, is it a trivial matter? Don't tell me that you don't know the outside world, it's too ugly!"

"Okay, people's words are terrible. I'm already my age. I can't afford to be infamous for this little money! It's not just a possession. That Du girl in the south is willing, so of course I am willing."

"I don't want this house anymore, and I donate everything. Is the head office okay?"

Seeing Kang Shude so angry, Ning Weimin shook his head lightly.

"Why do you need to..."

After sighing, he continued to comfort him patiently.

"I'm not talking about you. You've given up eating because of choking. It's a bit wrong to be so angry. Don't you grow crops after hearing a few cricket crickets?"

"Don't talk about anything else, have you thought about it, Director Li? Is he interesting enough? I don't know how many times I went and said a lot of good things about you behind the scenes. You are so angry, if you say no, you don't want it. Wasting it in vain? Are you feeling awkward in your heart?"

"Your reputation is important. But I'm keeping the word here. No matter how much you suffer, you can only satisfy those who arrange us behind the scenes. What benefits are there for those close to you? Can't make arrangements Your people still laugh at you for being stupid, isn't it the joy of relatives and enemies?"

That said, it worked.

Kang Shude was stunned for a moment, pondered over it, and blurted out involuntarily.

"Don't say it, your words make sense. I'm really a little confused..."

Seeing that the old man listened to the persuasion, Ning Weimin felt a little more at ease.

He quickly poured himself a glass of water, took a sip, moistened his throat, and continued.

"I know you don't value money. But your situation is really different from Du Yunyun's. We can't be taken advantage of, can we? Allow me to tell you slowly, take my word for it, right?"

"That girl took her adoptive mother's inheritance, and her relatives wanted to strangle him for money. Besides, how old is that girl, and how old are you?"

"If you want me to analyze it, although Du Yunyun is very enlightened, she is probably afraid of being plotted by others, and she is also chilled. In addition, it is due to the reason that she sells her father's land, so she can make this decision. Besides, she is still young and has a bright future. Good. The impact of this donation is also great, and it is a well-known model in the whole country, so it must be compensated."

"But looking at you in turn, even the house and things are your life's painstaking efforts. Not only is it property, but also your past, and your life memories. It's easy to donate. It's just a matter of your words. You can think about it later. , what should I do? There is no regret in the world for taking medicine."

"Besides, donating and donating are different. Du Yunyun is the first in the country, with a strong initiative and a high amount. What about you? You can't stand the gossip, follow others, and donate too much. It's hard to say Yes, it doesn’t make much sense to follow others. A certificate of merit, a word of commendation from the district, and that’s over.”

"Do you lack this? No matter in terms of benefits or honor. This is definitely not as good as the last time our father and son donated bronze wares..."

There is no doubt that Kang Shude has been shrewd all his life, but he just lost his mind in one breath.

Now Ning Weimin has figured out the joints inside and out, so he naturally understands where things went wrong.

"What do you mean?"

The old man pondered and continued to inquire.

"It's not good for us to do nothing. Let the rumors spread around?"

"Then how can it be. If you want to let go of the rumors, of course you will be angry. Whether it is for us, the old neighbors, or Director Li, it is not a good thing."

Ning Weimin smiled slightly.

"That's what I think, let's gossip about money and housing. Since it's the money and the house that caused the trouble of gossip, where is the problem, let's prescribe the right medicine. But there is one thing, we can't just donate like Du Yunyun. .We have to make a distinction, differentiate and treat it, so that the loved ones will be quickened and the enemy will be hurt."

Kang Shude was aroused, and nodded in approval, "Yeah".

"This charter is not bad. Then you talk about it carefully, what should you do?"

"Hey, that's not easy."

Ning Weimin cleared his throat and gave his idea without hesitation.

"You don't care about the little rent, so we won't charge it at all, not even a dime. Later, we have agreed with the neighbors that we will take care of the repairs, how we lived in the past, and how we will live in the future. Then they Still miss you?"

"As for the street, let's feel free to donate a thousand or eight hundred dollars to supplement Director Li's expenses. As for the old man's subsidy, I don't think we should make things difficult for Director Li. Take the initiative. Just don't ask for it."

"Think about it, in this way, the neighbors will get rid of the estrangement, and Director Li will have face and no pressure. Our things are still left behind. How appropriate?"

"Gossip? Just do this to us, who can say gossip? If someone slanders, the streets and neighbors will have to speak up for us. I can guarantee that the jealousy will make them even more jealous, and they say Nothing comes out."

Not to mention, Ning Weimin's idea was really upright, Kang Shude was happy to hear that, and he had to praise his thoughtfulness in his heart.

But happy is happy, I looked at him coldly for a while, but my mouth was deliberately unforgiving and probing.

"Well, that's a good idea, but I'll lose my income. From now on, I'll just sit and eat. The house is just a name, and I will lose money every year. Are you thinking of me?"

Ning Weimin knew that Kang Shude was being hypocritical, so he shook his head and smiled.

"You, don't tease me with coughing. Are you still worried about this little money? Didn't you say just now that you can't spend and eat all your life? Don't worry, with me here, how can you not earn money. Let's do it , as an apprentice, I have to look like an apprentice. From now on, I will give you all my monthly salary, how about it?"

Unexpectedly, Kang Shude said "Oh", but the words that followed were even more heartbreaking.

"Is that because you paid me your wages, and I still have to care about you marrying a wife? From now on, I have to give you my house and this stuff too?"

Ning Weimin really couldn't laugh or cry now.

"Oh, ancestor, can I call you ancestor? If I say I don't want this house or this thing, I won't even believe it myself."

"But having said that, I understand the basic principles of being a human being. If you are willing to give it to me, it is mine. If you don't give it, it is not mine. Let's put it this way, as long as you are still in this day, these things are yours. Yes, it has nothing to do with me."

"What's more, who am I? Your personal disciple. I can run by myself. From now on, my wealth must be ten times or twenty times that of yours. How dare you say that blue is better than blue what."

"Don't worry, your apprentice has ambition. It's not a sparrow or a swan. You must never lose your people, just thinking about eating ready-made ones."

Now Kang Shude was really speechless, silently gave Ning Weimin a thumbs up in his heart.

Then he picked up the teacup with a smile and took a sip of tea.

Just this one mouthful, perhaps out of anger, his eyes immediately stared straight.

"I said, this is Jasmine Shuangxun. You just bought it? It costs about [-] yuan a catty, right? The Empress Dowager Xi likes to drink this..."

Ning Weimin rolled his eyes helplessly.

"You are really good. You have been drinking this for two days before you can taste it?"
