Chapter 7: The Abandoned Capitalist Lady in the 1950s
After becoming familiar with the various reports of the Finance Department, Ning Ning learned to knit sweaters with her two older sisters at work every day. Her clumsy appearance often made the older sisters laugh.
After get off work, whenever she saw food that didn't require a ticket, she would buy it like a little hamster and stockpile it in her small apartment.
As soon as the weekend came, she would run to the homes of her fellow villagers in the countryside to exchange some food and vegetables, and she would never miss out on pheasants and rabbits.
Whenever Ning Ning encounters defective products in the company, no matter what they are, she will buy some and stockpile them.
Broken snacks and candies, defective fabrics, pots and pans, in short, nothing is left out.
If someone asks, just say you are bringing it for someone else.
During the last few days of the month, several people worked overtime to settle accounts and pay salaries, and then entered the next cycle.
If things continue like this, Ning Ning's life might become extremely beautiful.
It was not until three months later that the weather in Beijing began to turn cooler.
On this day, Ning Ning was knitting a sweater and chatting with Sister Huang in the office. Yu Li had just become pregnant and was suffering from severe morning sickness, so she was not in the office.
Chen Jianguo was still the same, leisurely reading the newspaper.
"Bang!" The door of the Finance Department was suddenly pushed open with great force, shaking the calendar on the wall.
Then came in a man in his early twenties, of medium height and plain appearance.
Everyone was startled by the sudden sound of the door opening. They all stopped talking and looked towards the door as if they were under a spell.
There were only three people in the office at this time. When the man came in, he saw Ning Ning at a glance. Without saying a word, he rushed to Ning Ning in three or two steps.
Chen Jianguo reacted quickly and rushed to Ning Ning, trying to stop the man. Sister Huang also pulled Ning Ning tightly to hide aside.
The section chief heard the commotion and hurried out of his small office. Seeing the scene before him, he shouted, "What's going on? Who are you? Why are you in our Finance Department?"
The man ignored what the section chief said and stared at Ning Ning, "Promise to be my partner. If you agree, I'll give you my life."
This was enough to stun everyone present. What was going on? Was this a pursuer? They'd thought he was going to hit someone.
If they were suitors, it would be difficult for them to stop them, and it would be up to Xiao Ning to decide whether it was okay or not.
Ning Ning's face was filled with confusion, her eyes wide open. "No, who are you? Did you recognize the wrong person? Do you know me? Being a hooligan is against the law. I'm going to the police station to find the police!"
The people watching the show nearby were also puzzled. Xiao Ning looked bewildered, and it didn't seem like he was lying. Could it be that these two people really didn't know each other? That would be interesting!
Ning Ning thought of what he had just said and couldn't help rolling her eyes. How could there still be quotes from domineering CEOs in novels these days?
"Give me back my life? I'm not a murderer, why would I want your life? I have a weak heart and can't handle the excitement.
You talk as if I can get a lot of benefits, how can I even have an extra life?
Are you mentally ill? If so, take some medicine immediately. If not, go to the hospital and see a neurosurgeon. I think you are seriously ill!"
The three people nearby saw Xiao Ning's face flush with anger, and they understood that these two people probably really didn't know each other.
The section chief quickly approached him and said, "Hey sir, our colleagues really don't know you!
You must have the wrong person! This is the Finance Department. If something is missing, even if it has nothing to do with you, you can't explain it clearly, right? Think about which department your friend is in!" As he said this, he pushed the man out.
The section chief didn't dare to mention Ning Ning's name, for fear that this mentally ill-looking person would take advantage of the situation again.
Before leaving, the man turned and shouted to Ning Ning, "My name is Li Jingwei, and I'm the son of the director of the leather shoe factory. We met last time when you came to the warehouse to take inventory!"
At this moment, the mobile phone in the apartment, which had been silent, emitted a bright light. After the light went out, Ning Ning suddenly realized who this man was.
When the phone lit up, the novel on the screen changed, and Ning Ning also received a memory in her mind.
It may sound like a long time to receive the entire novel and the related memories, but in reality it only takes a few moments.
Ever since practicing the "Soul Refining Technique", Ning Ning's soul power and mental strength have increased significantly, and receiving memories is now a piece of cake for her.
Li Jingwei and Tian Qingqing grew up together as childhood sweethearts, and he has always been devoted to Tian Qingqing.
Tian Qingqing fell in love with Liang Dong, a young clerk in the administrative department of a department store. In order to have close contact with Liang Dong, she sold her job as a announcer in a shoe factory and found a job as a warehouse manager in a department store.
When Li Jingwei saw Xiao Qingmei coming to work at the department store, he followed her over happily and traded his job as a publicity officer at the shoe factory for a job as a salesperson, just to be able to see Tian Qingqing more often.
Thus, an interesting situation was formed: Tian Qingqing chased Liang Dong, and Li Shengli chased Tian Qingqing.
Ning Ning's first appearance in this novel was when she went to the warehouse to take inventory at the end of the month. She happened to see Liang Dong rejecting Tian Qingqing, saying that since Tian Qingqing already had a partner, she shouldn't get involved with other gay men.
Tian Qingqing had previously told Li Jingwei that she only considered him a brother and hoped to maintain a brother-sister relationship in the future.
Faced with Tian Qingqing's pleading and tears in her eyes, although Li Jingwei felt bitter as if he had eaten coptis, he couldn't bear to see Tian Qingqing sad, so he could only nod in agreement.
That day, Liang Dong used this reason to reject Tian Qingqing again. Tian Qingqing immediately said that Li Jingwei already had someone he liked, and winked at Li Jingwei, hoping that he would cooperate.
Li Jingwei had no way to refuse Tian Qingqing and could only nod in agreement. Since he couldn't get Qingqing, it was nice to see her happy.
So he pointed at Ning Ning and said that Ning Ning was the person he liked and that he had chased her from the shoe factory just for Ning Ning.
According to the description in the novel, when Ning Ning saw Li Jingwei pointing at her, she acted very shyly. She neither admitted nor denied it, and just blushed and said nothing.
In fact, Ning Ning was so busy counting the goods and doing the accounts that day that she had no time to listen to these people chattering.
She only found out about this when the novel on her phone changed just now.
Later in the novel, it is written that Ning Ning and Li Jingwei fell in love at first sight, and with the laughter and jokes of several older office ladies, she married Li Jingwei smoothly.
In fact, Li Jingwei kept harassing Ning Ning in order to fulfill Tian Qingqing's happiness.
Several people in the office also joined in the fun, and kept persuading Ning Ning to accept Li Jingwei.
In their eyes, Ning Ning was old enough to get married, and Li Jingwei's conditions were pretty good. He had been pestering Ning Ning for such a long time. If she didn't marry him, she probably wouldn't be able to marry anyone else.
Ning Ning's family has no elders and its reputation is now ruined. If she doesn't marry Li Jingwei, she might be targeted by gangsters in the future, which would be even worse.
In the end, Ning Ning had no choice but to grit her teeth and marry Li Jingwei.
In the novel, after marriage, Tian Qingqing and Li Jingwei told others that they were half-siblings, and Li Jingwei treated Tian Qingqing as his own sister.
He takes care of every aspect in life and work, and has become a true good brother.
But in fact, after marriage, Li Jingwei would look for Tian Qingqing at any time and any place. As long as Tian Qingqing had any news, he would rush over immediately.
Because Li Jingwei got married, it was considered an explanation to outsiders, and Liang Dong also accepted Tian Qingqing smoothly.
After Tian Qingqing and Liang Dong got married, with the "help" of Li Jingwei, their "warm-hearted" brother-in-law, Tian Qingqing and Liang Dong lived a happy and fulfilling life.
Whenever there was something to do, Li Jingwei would help. He even took care of the children and gave all his salary to Tian Qingqing.
It can be said that Li Jingwei only goes home when he goes to bed, and spends all the rest of his time at Tian Qingqing's house.
One can imagine what kind of life Ning Ning lived.
