National Tide 1980

Within two weeks, Ning Weimin came to the cultural relics store almost every day.

Not only did I become more familiar with the heads of the two cabinet stores.

With this ability to make friends, I bought most of the good stuff in the two stores.

At least the three main colors of porcelain, namely bright yellow glaze, peacock blue, and malachite green, which were almost the same age as the official kilns and were of good quality, were all sold out by him.

In addition, he also collected a lot of Ming blue and white, Ming enamel, Kang, Yong and Qian pastels, and kiln glazes.

All in all, he spent less than 200,000 yuan on thousands of kinds of fine porcelain.

If he hadn't been worried about continuing the smooth flow in the future and had other things to do urgently, this kid wouldn't have been willing to stop here.

But even so, his greed made the managers of the two stores turn a little green and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

They all said they really didn't expect Ning Weimin to be so good at buying things, and he took away half of the things they had packed in the store.

He also said that this was just this time and would not happen again.

If Ning Weimin were to come again in the future, it would be impossible to give him such a big discount.

Otherwise, the items that were finally collected would be sold so cheaply, and there would be no way to pay bonuses to employees.

After all, Ning Weimin is a knowledgeable person.

While thanking the two managers profusely, he explained repeatedly that it was just a contingency plan for the opening of the restaurant.

At the same time, he expressed his personal generosity by expressing his "thank you" very well with practical actions in private.

Only in this way did the resentment between the two big managers disappear in time, and the newly established friendship was not ruined.

Of course, not only the cultural relics store complained that he bought too much, but also the deputy director of the Temple of Heaven Park.

The deputy director introduced Ning Weimin to the person who connected him with the cultural relics store. He also didn't expect that he would be so generous and spent 200,000 yuan on porcelain.

You know, how much money is there in the joint venture restaurant's account?

Not counting the 50,000 yuan compensation for moving the hardware store, as well as the money for digging the basement and decorating it.

The remaining half a million is probably not even 300,000.

So when I saw the porcelain that Ning Weimin bought, the deputy director's eyes almost dropped to the ground and he couldn't close his mouth.

I thought about it, if all the funds in this account are used to buy porcelain, what else can I do?

Fortunately, Ning Weimin had already thought of his words.

After some explanations, in the end, not only did the deputy director not get angry, but he also smiled happily.

This is what Ning Weimin said. First of all, among the two hundred thousand porcelains, less than half of them were in colors and styles suitable for the restaurant. He chose them for the restaurant.

And he knew very well that the restaurant had limited funds and could only spend 50,000 yuan at most.

Therefore, he paid for the porcelain in advance from elsewhere, and it would not occupy the restaurant's scarce funds.

As for the porcelain that should be kept in the restaurant, you can wait until the restaurant is renovated, and then it depends on the specific situation.

Anyway, the cultural relics store issued an invoice for everything.

When the time comes, whichever one you feel is suitable will be displayed.

Whichever item is displayed will be considered as purchased by the restaurant.

If there is no other use, he will take it away and use it for other purposes. Is this a good thing for the restaurant?

Well, just like that, the deputy director was successfully deceived by Ning Weimin again.

It's obvious that Ning Weimin took advantage of this and used the relationship with the Temple of Heaven Park for personal gain.

But after hearing what he said, the deputy director felt that he was changing his plans for the restaurant again.

I completely regard him as a great good person.

Look, what is confusing right and wrong?

This is. And it also makes people feel grateful.

When you are a bad guy, you have to live up to it, then you can be regarded as a bit moral and a higher level.

Those who are evil on the surface, can be seen through at a glance, no!

But then again, since Ning Weimin is such a person, he must have such friends around him.

Birds of a feather flock together, and people flock together.

Therefore, if this kid is not careful, he will inevitably be tricked by others.

No, Qiao Wanlin quietly let him take the blame.

And it made him feel so wronged that he couldn't express it.

What's going on?

Two weeks ago, just after the decoration plan was finalized.

Ning Weimin pushed open the door to find the deputy director and wanted him to contact the cultural relics store.

I happened to catch up with the deputy director of the Temple of Heaven entertaining several people from the ancient construction team in his office.

At that time, the deputy director was also trying to find Ning Weimin to sign and formalize the contract for the construction of the ancient building.

At the same time, Ning Weimin also needs to come forward at noon to accompany the people of the ancient construction team to have a meal.

Needless to say, this is what Ning Weimin should do.

Not only should he accompany him at noon, he should also go next door to inform Qiao Wanlin.

There are only three leaders in the operation team. It would be outrageous to have two leaders and leave one behind.

However, what happened next was very unexpected.

Because that day, everyone sat at the banquet and toasted in order.

Only then did Ning Weimin discover that among the people in these ancient construction teams, there was actually someone he had seen before.

And it was someone I met under special circumstances for special reasons.

That is Lan Lan's father.

Why haven't you recognized it yet?

For no other reason than because Ning Weimin suddenly opened the door of the deputy principal.

I met the people from the ancient construction team in a very hasty and unexpected situation.

There was no time for formal introductions and greetings.

His only polite nod was to the eloquent business director of the ancient construction team.

Then I heard that he was asked to sign, so he readily agreed and immediately took the deputy director and director of the ancient construction team to his office.

Think about it, he would only stay in the deputy director's office for a minute or two at most, so how could he see everyone's faces clearly?

Professor Lan, on the other hand, is a professional technical expert with the noble spirit of a scholar.

In social situations, he usually does not participate in non-essential topics that have nothing to do with technology.

Most of the time, I just sit quietly and drink tea.

And because I had only seen Ning Weimin once on the Great Wall, the impression he left was not very deep.

In Professor Lan's memory, Ning Weimin was just a hutong guy in cloth clothes and shoes, a jobless vagrant who made money by selling scrap copper.

Who would have thought that in just two years, this kid would become the business manager of Pierre Carton Company in suits and leather shoes, chatting and laughing.

He even became the big boss behind the scenes who could spend money for the Temple of Heaven Garden and hire their ancient construction team to provide services.

So even though Ning Weimin looked familiar after meeting him face to face, Professor Lan didn't dare to think that way.

But the problem is, according to the etiquette and procedures of the banquet, everyone sits together, and eventually they have to be introduced face-to-face in a more formal way.

In this way, when Ning Weimin and Professor Lan recognized each other's identities, they felt embarrassed at the same time.

Don't forget, there are rules in both officialdom and shopping malls, and banquets and banquets are based on hierarchy.

First of all, the business director of the ancient construction team was very clear on the issue of who invited whom. It was impossible for the operations team to pay for them.

Although Ning Weimin is young, he is the leader. He is the most distinguished guest at today's banquet.

Even though he gave in politely, the deputy director did not dare to overstep his bounds and sit down on the chairman's chair.

What's more, Ning Weimin just signed the contract for the ancient construction team today and approved the first project payment.

Isn't he the person the business director of the ancient construction team is looking for, and should be complimented to the best of his ability?

Therefore, even if everyone here is older than Ning Weimin, age must be ignored at this banquet, and Ning Weimin must sit in the chair.

Secondly, the business director, as the leader of the party hosting the guests, must also serve as the introducer after the toast.

According to the order of seats, take the initiative to introduce the people of the ancient construction team to Ning Weimin and Qiao Wanlin one by one.

When toasting, the people from the ancient construction team also had to first respect Ning Weimin, then the deputy director, and then Qiao Wanlin.

To put it bluntly, if Ning Weimin doesn't move his chopsticks, no one can do it first.

This is an attitude of giving priority to those who are respected.

It can be seen from this that Professor Lan was introduced to Ning Weimin when he had no choice but to act like the people in front of him.

I was surprised to find that their status was completely reversed. How would Professor Lan feel in his heart?

That's it for others. The key is that Ning Weimin was the person Professor Lan really looked down upon and forced his daughter to stay away from.

Don't say anything else, just look at this one.

Is it enough for Professor Lan to have his self-confidence dampened and make him doubt his own life experience?

What's more, he would inevitably doubt, did Ning Weimin really not recognize him?

Are you waiting for this moment on purpose?

Just want to embarrass him?

Following this line of thinking, how can Professor Lan be in a good mood?

You should be treated with admiration after seeing each other for three days! That's right!

A noble son comes from a poor family! Enemy!

But I have to add another sentence at the end, his grandma’s!

On the other hand, Ning Weimin also felt that he had been wronged greatly and was also caught off guard.

To be honest, this kind of plot in online novels where young people are not bullied into poverty and they are passively pretending to be good and slaps them in the face would not be that pleasant if it were placed in reality.

And it was definitely not what he wanted to see.

Because the higher the level of people living in real society, the more they care about their image in the minds of others.

Although many gestures are hypocritical, they must be done properly and must be shown to others as best they can.

On the other hand, some shortcomings that ordinary people have must be covered up.

For example, Han Xin endured the humiliation and did not retaliate after gaining power. This was entirely due to his status.

Otherwise, he will not receive dedicated service from others, and may even scare away those who can help him accomplish things and do things for him.

Not really that magnanimous.

Especially someone like Ning Weimin who has reached a high position of power at a young age.

Arrogance, publicity, and frivolity are definitely taboos among taboos.

Let me ask, who wants to work with such young people? Working for such young people?

Can such a boss respect your value? Can I treat you as a human being?

Every normal person will have a question mark in their mind.

Therefore, in addition to flattery, no one is willing to care about the master who has no ability and wants to take advantage of others.

Just like those arrogant rich second generations thirty years later.

As long as you keep a high profile, you will be unable to do anything, and you won't even be able to pick up girls well.

It’s really not a problem with personal ability, it’s mainly because I don’t understand this truth, so there are a lot of bullshit and snake gods around me.

But Ning Weimin is different, he is a sensible person.

Of course, you must always show that you respect others and are willing to abide by the rules of public consensus.

Only in this way can he accomplish what he wants to do.

For now, Professor Lan was embarrassed in front of him. Regardless of whether it was his fault or not, what would these people here think of him?

How could he be willing to cause pollution to his own character? It's just a disease.

What's more, even he thinks that he is a scumbag in his heart, and thinks that Professor Lan is right to let his daughter break off the relationship with him.

Any qualified father in the world would do this, and should do this.

So how can he be in a good and complacent mood?

The only thing he was anxious about was how to eliminate Professor Lan's unhappiness and try his best to eliminate the embarrassment that no one wanted to see.

However, the alleged relationship between men and women was the most unclear. He couldn't mention Lan Lan rashly, it was even more taboo.

Even if others know that he has something to do with Professor Lan's daughter.

It’s easy to misunderstand and think the worst about him...

Look how difficult it is for him!

It should be said that Ning Weimin actually did quite well.

Because when someone toasted him at the beginning, he stood up with a relaxed posture, but not arrogantly.

And once he recognized Professor Lan, he reacted quickly enough.

The one-handed toast immediately turned into two hands, and after finishing a round of toasts from the Gujian team.

He took the initiative to propose a round of wine on the grounds that young people respect their elders.

Even his speeches were particularly beautiful, thanking the director for the invitation and admiring the restaurant's environment and dishes.

He also deliberately asked for advice on the technical difficulties of construction.

During the banquet, Professor Lan was constantly given opportunities to demonstrate his knowledge.

His attitude surprised even the deputy principal and Qiao Wanlin.

Because they really didn't expect that Ning Weimin would be so interested in ancient architecture and would give such face to the ancient construction team.

In short, although Ning Weimo didn't say anything at the table, he fully expressed his kindness to Professor Lan.

Although Professor Lan was stern, he had something to say.

But his face and eyes looked more and more normal, and it didn't look like there was any misunderstanding or grudge.

But the problem is that God’s calculations are not as good as those of humans!

Ning Weimin made these preparations because he actually planned to wait until the construction started and then have private contact with Professor Lan at the Beishen Kitchen site.

Then there will definitely be no misunderstandings by then, and maybe we can learn about Lan Lan's situation by the way.

But he never expected that when work started, Professor Lan didn't come at all.

The relevant technical consultant actually changed his position and became a horse expert.

Ning Weimin thought it was Professor Lan who didn't want to come because of him. Later, when I inquired about it, I found out that it was Qiao Wanlin who had done the trick.

This guy actually said hello to the deputy director, and then asked the business director of the ancient construction team to "change the general".

As for why, the reason behind it is even more unexpected and reasonable.

Lan Zheng, the son of Professor Qingqing Lan, is the most competitive business opponent among people at the same level as Qiao Wanlin in the District Service Bureau.

Lan Zheng's superior also did not deal with Director Jin.

Naturally, Qiao Wanlin didn't want Lan Zheng's father to participate in a project related to his future.

What else can Ning Weimin say?

It’s not just pig teammates who can trick people!

Too smart teammates!

Ning Weimin could only sigh, realizing the true meaning of the situation, and helplessly accepted the reality.

It was an injustice, and he estimated that Professor Lan, who had been wiped out, would probably regard him as the culprit of the evil, a villain who did one thing in front of him and another behind the scenes.

People will inevitably scold him behind his back! Maybe the whole family is scolding him!

This Qiao Wanlin, let him carry a big pot!
