Chapter 67 Pie
At the beginning of August, one day after get off work.
Ning Weimin, shirtless and holding a small cigarette in his mouth, was sitting in the shade of the yard peeling peas.
He also turned on the radio in the house.
While listening to Liu Baorui's stand-up comedy "Level 3", I felt so happy while enjoying the cool breeze.
But let's make it clear, this kind of virtue is not that Ning Weimin is shameless or lacks quality.
But because these days, air conditioning is still a rarity, and going shirtless in summer in the capital is quite common.
There is a saying, "There is no gentleman in the heat."
It means that even the most well-dressed gentleman can go bare-backed in the middle of summer without being laughed at.
So when summer comes, Ning Weimin is at home, and most of the time, he is alone.
Not to mention older women like Aunt Bian and Aunt Luo, he didn't need to avoid it.
Even in front of sisters Mi Xiaoran and Mi Xiaohui, they can blatantly "show off".
Hey, this is the situation in the large courtyard. It is the same for every household, from the elderly to the children.
Everyone has become accustomed to it, and no one feels it “burns” their eyes.
However, it must be said that there are always exceptions.
No, this is the same day.
While Liu Baorui was chatting, he mentioned that Zhang Haogu, who was illiterate, entered the examination room overnight with the help of Wei Zhongxian's film, frightened the examiner, and accidentally fell asleep and got the top spot.
Master Mi led a young man in his mid-twenties, holding a briefcase in his hand, wearing a short-sleeved shirt, long pants and leather shoes, and walked in from outside the courtyard.
In the end, it was precisely because of meeting this well-dressed stranger.
Ning Weimin felt embarrassed and quickly put on his clothes.
What's going on?
Actually, it’s not for anything else but because this visitor has a special last name.
At that time, Ning Weimin thought it was a guest from the Mi family and was about to say hello to Master Mi.
But he never expected that Master Mi would get ahead of him and greet him.
"Wei Min, stop being busy now and come over quickly to meet me. I have something to talk to you about."
Following Master Mi, he pointed at Ning Weimin and said to the person next to him with a smile on his face.
"This is Ning Weimin, the one you are looking for. Section Chief Lan..."
This sudden two-way introduction immediately confused Ning Weimin.
I heard that they were here to find him, but he simply couldn’t get around this detour.
My heart said, who is this? What are you looking for me for?
But just when the stranger nodded to thank Master Mi.
Ning Weimin finally noticed the key issue, what did Master Mi call him?
Section Chief Lan? Surnamed Lan?
There was a sudden thought in his heart, and he seemed to understand a little bit again.
Didn’t Lan Lan say that she has a brother in the service bureau?
Judging from the age, it seems to be quite appropriate, it couldn't be...
So thinking about this, he quickly stood up and invited this unknown guest to come into the room and sit down.
He then went to his room and put on his coat.
Then he insisted on making a cup of tea for the guest regardless of his refusal.
The conversation was closed again and cigarettes and ashtrays were given.
Only then did he sit down and talk to him.
This is not a matter of being particular or being unnecessarily polite.
You know, although Ning Weimin doesn't care much about other people's opinions, he can't help but worry about Lan Lan's face. At least he couldn't let Lan Lan's brother go back and laugh at Lan Lan's poor choice of friends.
Otherwise, if this girl doesn’t get into trouble at home, will she be subject to strict control?
Therefore, what should be done must be done, even if it is trivial and troublesome, it is still necessary.
As expected, when this person opened his mouth, it was true.
"I am Lan Lan's brother, my name is Lan Zheng. Because I don't know where you live, I went to the cinema to ask Master Mi to help guide you."
"As for my presumption I came to see you mainly because I want to thank you on behalf of my family. Thank you for giving my sister a lot of useful advice during this time.” She has made great progress. Thanks to you, she is now willing to take the college entrance examination again, which makes our whole family very happy.”
This makes sense.
Because Ning Weimin and Lan Lan almost met at the scrap station.
Neither of them has been to anyone else's house, they only know the approximate address of the other party.
But they often go to the Daguanlou to watch movies. Lan Lan has long known that Master Mi is Ning Weimin's neighbor.
It’s not surprising that Lan Lan’s brother came to visit through this line.
It's just a thank you. It's a bit strange to come to express my thanks for this little thing.
It seems that this is not necessary at all?
"You don't need to be so polite. If you have something to say, you might as well just say it..."
Ning Weimin didn't want to be polite and modest, then slowly go around in circles, and simply make his words clear.
Such directness somewhat surprised Lan Zheng, but he is obviously a person who understands the ways of the world.
Immediately obeying Ning Weimin's wishes, he took out a piece of letter paper from his briefcase and pushed it gently on the table.
Ning Weimin picked it up and looked at it, and found that this light piece of paper was actually quite heavy.
It was stamped with the big red seal of the Service Bureau, and it turned out to be a job introduction letter.
His name is clearly written, but the reporting unit is...blank?
“What do you mean?”
Faced with Ning Weimin's confusion, Lan Zheng smiled faintly.
"In view of your help to Lan Lan, my job happens to be in charge of labor and management. Then I am naturally obliged to properly solve your work problems."
"This letter of introduction The reason why the reporting unit is blank is to ask what you mean. As long as there is a service outlet in our area, we can discuss it."
I have to say, Lan. Zheng's statement is like a wishing machine at work, so awesome!
But to be honest, Ning Weimin felt no joy at all in his heart about this big pie falling from the sky.
I don't want to accept this kindness at all.
Because in his opinion, this was obviously a condescending charity from the Lan family, or perhaps a deal that contained a warning.
I just hope that he can stay away from Lan Lan and make a clean break.
For this reason, Ning Weimin was not only completely silent, but also showed a unhappy expression on his face.
Without much thought, he refused with a politeness that would make people thousands of miles away.
"Sorry for your concern, but to be honest, I don't like to be controlled very much. I am planning to work as an individual. So I appreciate this kindness."
"Of course, you can rest assured, I know the test very well. College is not easy, and you can’t be distracted. I will never interfere with Lan Lan’s studies. I can promise you and your parents this.”
“If you don’t do this. Don't worry, I have a good suggestion. You might as well change Lan Lan to a cram school. It would be better if she stays with a relative. Then I will never be able to contact her."
Ning Wei. Everyone can hear the sarcasm and insincerity in people's speech.
Needless to say, Lan Zheng must feel uncomfortable when his hot face touches his cold butt.
This is simply disrespectful, and I'm afraid anyone would want to scold him.
But strangely, Lan Zheng didn't show the slightest trace of annoyance.
He just shook his head helplessly, but took out another folded piece of paper from his bag and pushed it to Ning Weimin again.
