technological heresy

Chapter 82
Lao Ning is a low-key, humble and pragmatic person.Except for occasionally showing off to his son that his wife is five years younger than him, most of the time he is a kind-hearted person.Ten years ago, I did not miss attending class reunions. In such large-scale or pretentious scenes, Lao Ning could always sit there happily and never steal the limelight from anyone.

I don't even mind being polite and serious when my classmates mention him, and helping others to carry the sedan chair.

It's not that Lao Ning doesn't want to scold Fang Qiu with his classmates in high spirits. The main reason is that Lao Ning feels that he really has nothing to show off in his life, and he really has nothing to show off to others.This is probably the reason why the young couple had been hoping for a successful child before.

Although his mind is calm, Lao Ning still feels that his life is a bit useless after all. He naturally hopes that Ning Qing can far surpass him and become the most dazzling one in the crowd.

The world is so strange sometimes. He tried his best to make Ning Qing successful, which was the most important high school for his children. When he realized it, Ning Qing's grades plummeted after entering the bilingual No. [-] middle school. The class was relegated to the normal class, but this kind of bad news spread so fast.

After all, Ning Qing is not the only child admitted to the bilingual No. [-] middle school in the community. God knows that the news of Ning Qing's grades dropping has spread throughout the neighborhood.

The mentality of many ordinary people is so strange.When Ning Qing was admitted to the rocket class of the bilingual No. [-] middle school, the neighbors in the neighborhood would go up to chat with the Ning family and congratulate them no matter if they were sincere or not.

You can see that Ning Qing is smart since she was a child; Lao Ning's family is an intellectual, and she really knows how to raise children; I teach my children to learn from Ning Qing every day; I also ask Ning Qing to guide my children at any time... and so on. There is no shortage of words.

But when the news spread that Ning Qing had dropped from the rocket class to the normal class, people who were on good terms with each other stopped talking about Ning Qing overnight.

Lao Xia is probably a unique one among many neighbors.

When Ning Qing was in the Rocket Class of Bilingual No. [-] Middle School, he didn't talk much about the children's studies with the Ning family.At this time, when they meet by chance, they will try their best to persuade the two adults to pay attention to their children's learning from different angles, just like today.

The sentence that children from ordinary colleges can't find a job will immediately fill up the already inflated sense of anxiety that society brings to middle-aged couples with children with less than ideal grades.Lao Ning smiled casually as usual, then realized something, and pulled Ning's mother who was about to speak.

He knew that his wife was aggrieved, but he still felt that there was no need to show off Ning Qing's current things to Lao Xia.Firstly, he still didn't know what the kid had done, and secondly, he had been a neighbor for many years. Although Lao Ning felt that this leader Xia had a bad temper, he had no other bad problems.Lao Ning is too lazy to spoil the relationship between neighbors because of some verbal disputes.

Ning's mother gave Lao Ning a look, but she chose to save face for Lao Ning after all, and didn't say a word.

Lao Xia, who was standing alone in front of the elevator, didn't see the small movements of the couple behind him, but he didn't talk too much, but when he walked out of the elevator, he turned his head slightly and nodded to Lao Ning, then looked at himself out of the elevator.

……

"Oh, you want to catch children to study, and now the resumes of ordinary college students are thrown directly into the garbage dump?"

After Lao Xia walked away, Ning's mother squeezed her throat and imitated what she said just now, then curled her lips and said, "Look at him, if you know him, he is Director Xia, if you don't know, you think he is It's Chairman Xia!"

"Forget it..." Lao Ning smiled naively, and joked: "When our son comes back from Ryan, the National Award for the Mathematical Modeling Contest will be judged soon. Maybe it can scare Lao Xia by then Jump."

"Bah! You're just used to being a good person." Ning's mother rolled her eyes at Lao Ning, and said sullenly: "Hey, your son must never learn from you in this aspect in the future. How much has he suffered for being so honest all his life?"

"Hey..." Lao Ning smiled awkwardly, then took the hand of Ning's mother and walked out of the unit building.

Just at this moment, Lao Ning's cell phone rang again.

"Ah? You're already here? Oh, we just went downstairs... No, no, the neighborhood is crowded with cars, just wait at the gate, we'll walk over by ourselves, and we'll be at the gate of the neighborhood in 2 minutes .”

After hanging up the phone, Lao Ning looked fondly at Ning Ma, who had been with him for nearly 20 years, and said with a smile: "Come on, I've already arrived at the gate of the community. Come to deliver the villa."

"Wait, don't worry, let's make a phone call to ask for leave first? Call someone in the car, and they may think we are hypocritical."

"Well, it makes sense, then hurry up and ask for leave, because others have been waiting for a long time."

……

The couple quickened their pace, and when they were asking for leave and rushing towards the entrance of the community, Xia Daowen had already walked out of the community and was about to drive to the side of the road.

The biggest problem of the old communities in the central urban area of ​​Haizhou is that the car-to-household ratio is seriously insufficient. The person who designed the community at the beginning probably wanted to kill the car that only high-income groups could own in that era. Years later, it entered thousands of households, so farsighted people have already bought out the parking spaces in the community.

Xia Daowen belongs to the kind of people who have vision, but not many.Although he judged that the price of parking spaces in the community will definitely increase in the future, when he had this idea, the number of parking spaces in the community has increased from the initial 8 yuan to more than 30. people sold.

So now Xia Daowen's car can only be parked in the designated parking space on the road outside the community every day, and the location is random.

But today, as soon as he left the community, he saw a Kenyan limited edition parked outside the community, and a business acquaintance was waiting outside the car.In fact, there is no need to identify the person. It is said that there are only two Kenyada limited editions of the same type in Haizhou, and one of them belongs to Haizhou Branch of Hanwei Group.

It's hard to see on the road, and the company he works for happens to have some business connections with Hanwei Group, so he was lucky enough to see this car.

What puzzled Xia Daowen was how the Hanwei Group's car suddenly appeared at the gate of the community where he lived. After all, he has lived here for nearly 20 years, and he has never heard of anyone in the community who has the qualifications to let Hanwei Haizhou The vice president of the branch came to pick him up in person.

After all, the people who are well-known in the community have probably bought more high-end mansions elsewhere to enjoy life.

"Mr. Zhang, did you come here early in the morning to wait for someone?" Xia Daowen, who couldn't suppress his curiosity, stepped forward to greet him with a smile all over his face.

If Mama Ning saw the smile on Xia Daowen's face at this time, she would probably be very curious, after all, she had never seen such a bright smile on her neighbor.I even suspected that this guy was born with facial paralysis and couldn't smile.

But Zhang Ping just looked at Xia Daowen in confusion, and asked, "Who are you?"

"Mr. Zhang really forgets things. I am Xia Daowen, the director of the production department of the first workshop of Hanhua Precision. When you visited our first-line workshop for sinicization last time, I was the one who accompanied you all the time when you visited the production line of our first workshop. Your."

"Oh, Director Xia, hello." Zhang Ping nodded politely and distantly, and said, "Well, today I was entrusted by the boss of our group to pick up someone. You also live in this community?"

"Yes, I have lived in this community for more than 20 years..."

Before Xia Daowen finished speaking, he saw Mr. Zhang's eyes on the opposite side suddenly brighten, and then said to him very politely: "Director Xia, I'm sorry, next time I have time, I will invite you to drink tea. The person I am waiting for today coming."

After speaking, Zhang Ping enthusiastically greeted a couple who had already walked out of the gate of the community. Xia Daowen turned his head curiously to look in the direction Zhang Ping was heading for, and then he was stunned.

Could it be...the couple from the Ning family?
Lao Xia's mind suddenly became confused, and he couldn't figure out when the two Ning family members got involved with Lao Ning's family.Moreover, seeing the way Mr. Zhang greeted them, he was also very enthusiastic about Ning Shengjie and Shu Xin, especially when the three of them met, Mr. Zhang had a bright smile on his face, as if he had a three-point lick... …

For a while, the foot really couldn't move.

"Hey, Director Xia, are you there too?" When Zhang Ping brought the two couples to the car and saw Xia Daowen standing blankly in front of the Kenyada car, Lao Ning greeted him politely.

"Oh? Brother Ning knows Director Xia?" Zhang Ping asked casually.

"I know, I know, the old neighbor who is door to door for nearly 20 years." Xia Daowen immediately replied with a smile: "I really didn't expect that the guest Mr. Zhang made a special trip to welcome is you, Lao Ning."

"Yes, yes, we have been neighbors for 20 years." Lao Ning replied.

"Hey, I'm afraid this neighbor won't be around for long." Zhang Ping said with a smile, "Brother Ning's family may move to the villa area of ​​Canglong Mansion soon."

"Ah?" Xia Daowen looked at Ning's father and Ning's mother in surprise. Of course he knew that Zanglong Mansion was a well-known luxury real estate in Haizhou.It is said that one square meter in the villa area is enough to buy half a parking space in the community.

"That's really congratulations to you two." Xia Daowen squeezed out a smile: "I'm afraid the villa in the Canglong mansion will cost more than one hundred thousand yuan per square meter? Lao Ning, Xiao Shu, you are not kind, and you have earned such a large family fortune It's still hidden so deep. I can't afford to drink it for housewarming."

Ning Shengjie didn't answer, Zhang Ping, who was standing aside, saw Mama Ning's expression, and took up the conversation with a smile.

"Director Xia is really wrong, maybe you don't know it? Ning Ge Ning's sister-in-law has raised a good child. It is no exaggeration to say that their child Ning Qing, who is still in high school, was in the negotiation between our Hanwei Group and foreigners. , he used his ability and knowledge to help us recover a major loss. This house was given to Ning Qing by the boss of our group to express his gratitude to Ning Qing. Isn't it because Ning Qing is not yet an adult, so Ning Brother and Sister Ning went to sign the contract."

"what?"

"Yes, Director Xia, we still have a lot of things to do today, let's talk about the old days next time."

"Yes, I'm sorry, Director Xia, we still have something to do today. In this way, when the child comes back, I will treat your family to dinner." Ning Ma, who was in a good mood, also followed suit.

"Oh, good, good..."

Xia Daowen, who lost his Dao heart, gave way subconsciously, Zhang Ping was able to politely invite Lao Ning and his wife into the car, then nodded at him, and then sat in the middle seat, and then the driver started the car, Director Xia was at a loss looked away.

"A high school student in an ordinary class? Help the Hanwei Group to recover a major loss in foreign negotiations? And give them a villa?" Xia Daowen muttered to himself standing in the October wind. This was the first time in his life that he felt that reality would Such absurd things happened, this world is too crazy, can it be true or false?
Thinking of what he said to Lao Ning just now in the elevator, Director Xia suddenly felt a little hot.

……

Ryan Capital Region.

After a day of delay at the West headquarters, representatives of the negotiating teams from both sides returned to the main negotiating venue.

The reason why they did not choose to continue negotiations at the West headquarters is mainly that the results of this negotiation require some policy support.This is why WestChip has always emphasized the need for Hanwei Group to advance [-] million Swiss dollars as lobbying funds.

To put it bluntly, negotiating in the capital region is more convenient to put pressure on Hanwei Group.

However, after returning to the capital region to reopen negotiations this time, it is clear that both parties have fallen into an atmosphere that is hard to say.Suddenly, the bosses on both sides began to become gentlemen.The daily negotiations are not as intense as before. Everyone stares at the front-line negotiators like supervisors who are constantly presenting facts and reasoning. They clock in according to normal working hours, pay their respects, and then leave.

This is no longer a negotiation, but more like showing to the other party that we are still working hard to reach a cooperation. Look, this negotiation is still going on...

To put it simply, everyone is suddenly not so eager.

Of course, in West's view, this is a new negotiation strategy implemented by the Hanwei Group after they noticed something.Coincidentally, most negotiators of Hanwei Group also think so.Anyway, both sides think that the advantage lies with me, so naturally there is no need to worry.

But to be honest, the current Hanwei Group is still at a disadvantage. After all, they are really waiting for this deal to save their lives. The chip reserves in the warehouse are already advanced, and the next production plan has not yet been drawn up.But according to the negotiation plan Ning Qing gave Liu Zhixin, they really can't show any urgency now.

Fortunately, West's R&D center is still very powerful. When negotiators are leisurely dawdling around, the R&D center at West's headquarters is brightly lit every night.

After a week like this, when Ning Qing and Xiaohan were almost tired of visiting the capital of Rui En, the news came.

WestChip decided to officially hire Ning Qing as the company's senior consultant, and even paid a one-time special consultant fee of more than 3000 million Swiss dollars.

The news that came out suddenly stunned the members of the delegations on both sides.
