Ning Zhuo recognized Ning Xiaohui's voice, so he left the dining table and went to the courtyard, where he met his former classmates.
Ning Xiaohui and Ning Zhuo are students of the same school.
Ning Zhuo's performance in the school was average and mediocre. Contrary to Ning Zhuo, Ning Xiaohui, as a member of the main lineage and gifted, always occupied the first place. In the school, she was like a star over the moon.
exist.
At this moment, Ning Xiaohui had an indifferent look on her face, her eyes were cold, and she glanced at the approaching Ning Zhuo.
She was a little surprised in her heart: she didn't expect that the inconspicuous classmates around her in the past actually looked pretty good.
Scan up and down.
"I really can't believe that you are the one who created the Explosive Monkey."
Ning Zhuo let out a sigh and said with some embarrassment: "This... I feel like it's just a coincidence. If I really want to continue to create a new mechanism work, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it. I don't have any confidence."
"Yes." Ning Xiaohui also read all of Ning Zhuo's information, including the many manuscripts and drawings found and copied by the Ning family's investigation team in the underground workshop.
Ning Xiaohui saw from it Ning Zhuo's entire research and development process for the Mechanical Hot Monkey, and discovered that the latter had been developing it for at least five or six years since he had the idea.
This discovery greatly lowered her evaluation of Ning Zhuo.
Ning Zhuo walked up to Ning Xiaohui and said, "Can you please call me out? What's the matter?"
Ning Xiaohui frowned slightly, feeling that Ning Zhuo was a little close to her, so she took a small step back and said in a questioning tone: "You actually gave this powerful monkey to an outsider, why didn't you report it to the family first?
"
Ning Zhuo sighed and spread his hands, his face showing depression and innocence: "I also wanted to tell the family. But at that time, my mechanism, the Fiery Monkey, still had flaws and needed to be completed. It was not complete at all!"
"I can't take it."
"I asked Chen Cha for advice and solved the design problem on the mechanism monkey. But I didn't expect that I would be exposed like this, and in the end, I would be noticed by a big shot."
"What can I do?"
"Fortunately, they gave me the money."
"Huh, you're talking about Master Feisi, right?" Ning Xiaohui deliberately revealed the person's name.
Ning Zhuo suddenly showed a look of surprise.
Seeing that she had achieved her goal, Ning Xiaohui raised her lips slightly and sneered: "Ning Zhuo, you are so short-sighted when you only care about money."
"Unexpectedly, the word fame and benefit comes first. Fame comes first and benefit comes after. If you have fame, you will have benefits."
"A name is much more important than a name!"
"What a great reputation it was to create the agency Hot Monkey? Now, it has been taken away. How can this kind of loss be compensated by some money?"
"Is that so?" Ning Zhuo scratched his head, with a look of innocence and stupidity that was inexperienced in the world.
When Ning Xiaohui saw Ning Zhuo's stupid look, she felt disgusted in her heart and lost the desire to continue talking with him.
Little did he know that it was Ning Zhuo who saw through her stupidity and arrogance and took control of her easily.
Ning Xiaohui turned around and left: "I came to you specifically to tell you that there is a small banquet tonight, and I will take you there."
"You should take care of it specifically, so as not to embarrass our clan."
Ning Zhuo was surprised: "Excuse me, what kind of banquet is it? Who is there?"
Ning Xiaohui continued walking without looking back: "They are the people from the three joint teams this time, Zheng Jian, Zhou Zeshen and Zhou Zhu."
"Dragons don't mate with snakes. Just follow me and stop talking."
"Oh, okay." Ning Zhuo replied quickly, "Oh no, I still need to ask the Young Patriarch for instructions."
"It's up to you." Ning Xiaohui walked out of the backyard and disappeared behind the door.
Ning Zhuo's eyes were deep and dark.
He asked the young patriarch for instructions, but he said this deliberately. He already knew in his heart that since Ning Xiaohui was able to break all the way to the back house, he must have obtained Ning Xiaoren's approval.
"Ning Xiaohui is the main meridian, I am just the branch meridian."
"My cultivation and organizational attainments have already had a certain impact on Ning Xiaohui."
If it was the previous situation, then Ning Zhuo would have been warned and suppressed long ago.
But now that the three companies are united, it is relatively fair. The Ning family is at a competitive disadvantage and needs Ning Zhuo's personal performance to help Ning Xiaohui.
That's why I was treated politely.
"But Ning Xiaohui is not tolerant. In the future, if I continue to stand out and show my talent, she will become a roadblock for me."
"Only by removing this roadblock can I move forward."
Ning Zhuo takes one step and counts three steps.
As the saying goes, if you don't have long-term worries, you will always have immediate worries. He has already begun to think about how to remove Ning Xiaohui, a roadblock.
After thinking for a while, he shook his head slightly and smiled sadly in his heart.
He couldn't think of any good solution.
Ning Zhuo first reported to the young patriarch Ning Xiaoren and told him about the small banquet in the evening.
Seeing Ning Zhuo's performance, Ning Xiaoren was very happy and found out that the latter had obedience in his heart. He immediately agreed and said that Ning Zhuo's clothes were not suitable for the banquet and asked someone to tailor Ning Zhuo's clothes.
The young clan leader has a high position and many servants. In the world of cultivation, just making ordinary clothes is extremely efficient.
Only in the evening did the finished product appear.
And not one set, but three sets.
Ning Xiaoren did not miss this opportunity to show his goodwill.
He was present throughout the whole process of Ning Zhuo's fitting and praised him repeatedly.
At the end, his eyes were red and his tone was choked: "It would be great if brother Ning Zhong is still alive. He will definitely be very happy to see your nephew grow up like this and look like a talented person."
Ning Zhuo hurriedly asked about his father.
Ning Xiaoren didn't know. He coughed and said it was getting late. The uncle and nephew could talk about old times for later.
In my mind, I want to check all the information about Ning Zhong and see where I can make it up to disguise the deep friendship from the previous generation.
"Oh, by the way." Ning Xiaoren took out a money bag and handed it to Ning Zhuo.
"I know you have a huge sum of money, but you'd better accept this pocket change. It's a little gift from me to you, Uncle Ning."
Ning Xiaoren handed it over slowly.
Ning Zhuo's eyes lit up, and he quickly stretched out his hands and took the money bag.
The movements were so smooth that Ning Xiaoren was stunned for a moment.
"Thank you, Uncle Ning!" Ning Zhuo thanked him more clearly than before.
Then, the young man said again: "Uncle Ning, how can I have so much money!"
"I never feel like I have much money. In fact, it's not much at all."
"Besides, how can you have too much money?"
"Thank you, Uncle Ning."
Ning Zhuo expressed his thanks again.
Ning Xiaoren couldn't help but coughed dryly: "Okay, I'm very happy that you can accept it."
Looking at Ning Zhuo checking his money bag, he felt a little complicated.
On the one hand, Ning Zhuo's attitude towards money is simply an expression of Ning Xiaoren's own thoughts.
This is a confidant!
But this kind of confidant... well, it’s okay not to have one.
Especially, what Ning Zhuo took was his Ning Xiaoren's money.
On the other hand, it makes perfect sense!
Ning Xiaoren thought about all the information he had seen.
When Ning Zhuo was a child, he was scolded by Ning and treated harshly by Wang Lan. He had almost no pocket money and was very poor. On the other hand, Ning Ji was well-dressed and had enough food and clothing.
Ning Zhuo was very tight on money. After attending school, he often went out to do odd jobs.
With this kind of growth path, Ning Zhuo's desire for money must be very strong.
Therefore, it is not surprising at all that Ning Zhuo agreed to transfer the name of the creation of the Hot Monkey to Chen Cha, and he himself enjoyed huge profits.
After leaving Ning Zhuo, Ning Xiaoren was very satisfied in his heart.
Because he discovered that it was actually not difficult to win over Ning Zhuo!
To win over someone, it's actually very simple - just do what they like!
"Ning Zhuo's first preference is mechanism skills. His second preference is money."
"Well, let's use the classics on mechanism techniques to win him over."
Because Ning Xiaoren himself also likes money very much.
Night falls.
The carriage stopped, and Ning Zhuo jumped out of the carriage first.
Then, Ning Xiaohui stepped on the servant's back, and Shi Shiran stepped out of the carriage.
"Ning Zhuo, you have a different status now. You have to pay attention to every move you make." Ning Xiaohui frowned, "Jumping off the carriage casually is too frivolous. It is not the behavior of a disciple of my rich family."
"Oh, okay." Ning Zhuo quickly said that he would listen to this opinion.
Along the way, he looked around, as if he had never been here before. Everything was quite new to him.
Ning Xiaohui's frown deepened: "Follow me closely."
Ning Zhuo quickly followed.
Ning Xiaohui said again: "Don't follow me so closely, stay away from me."
Ning Zhuo: "Oh."
"Welcome, welcome you two." Zheng Jian stood at the door of the private room to greet him.
He was the host of this small banquet.
Ning Xiaohui and Ning Zhuo entered the private room and found that Zhou Zeshen and Zhou Zhu had already arrived.
They all met with smiles on their faces.
This experience alone made Ning Zhuo feel a little novel, because he had never seen these geniuses smiling and talking in a gentle manner.
The dishes at the banquet are naturally exquisite.
Ning Zhuo stared at the table with his eyes wide open. He moved his chopsticks the most.
Zheng Jian and others paid close attention to Ning Zhuo.
They knew Ning Xiaohui relatively well, but they didn't know enough about Ning Zhuo who suddenly appeared.
Although the two families also tried their best to investigate, they had information that was not inferior to that of the Ning family.
But many times, what is more needed is face-to-face probing and understanding.
Seeing that Ning Zhuo tried to suppress himself and acted indifferently, but couldn't help but eat and drink, everyone gradually felt reassured.
Cooperating with the intelligence, they quickly sketched out an image of Ning Zhuo in their minds - a monk at the bottom of the family who showed talent. He was once a marginal figure. By chance, he entered the upper class circle. When he first adapted, his every move
They are all out of place, and every little look in his eyes as he observes his surroundings reveals his humble past.
While eating and drinking, Zheng Jian and others naturally talked about the Lava Fairy Palace.
Zheng Jian first raised his glass to Ning Xiaohui and said, "I want to thank the Ning family for providing the talisman so that I won't be randomly sucked out of my soul by the Immortal Palace."
"Since our three families are united and everyone here has reached the third level of peak Qi refining cultivation, we can release the talismans together and enter the palace to explore at the same time."
"I believe that if we work together, we will be able to overcome the current difficulties."
Ning Zhuo pricked up his ears and looked like he was listening attentively. His tone was passionate and his expression was exciting: "That's right, if we work together, we will definitely be able to overcome all obstacles and advance triumphantly!"
Zheng Jian:......
Zhou Zhu:……
For a moment, the small banquet became unusually silent.
Chapter completed!
