The young patriarch of the Ning family summoned Ning Zhi again and asked about the progress of the mission to contact the dying guests.
Ning Wei bit the bullet and made a report.
Bang!
The young patriarch Ning Xiaoren was so angry that he directly picked up the inkstone on the desk and smashed it out.
The inkstone hit Ning Zhen's forehead, causing him to bleed immediately.
Ning Zhen didn't dare to wipe it, his knees went weak, he knelt directly on the ground, and cried in his mouth: "Young clan elder, it's really not me who didn't work hard. I really tried my best, but the dripping guest couldn't get in!"
"My ability is too insufficient, I really can't complete such a task."
"Young Patriarch, you think too highly of me, I am seriously overestimated by you. I don't have the confidence or ability to complete such an errand at all."
Ning Wei didn't dare to tell the matter of the three ghosts of the Huang family at all, this was all his own opinion.
He also wanted to throw away this task for a long time. Since the current situation has reached its limit, he simply gave up, admitted that he couldn't do it, and admitted frankly - he can't do this task!
"You, you, you!" The young patriarch was so angry that his fingers trembled, and he couldn't say anything to Ning Zhen, who was playing a trick for a while.
He leaned back on the back of the chair, gasped for a long time, and then waved his hand: "You can't do this kind of simple errand well! Anyway, I will leave it to others. Get out! Looking at you like a waste gives me a headache."
Ning Zhi hurriedly retreated, but when he walked to the door, he was stopped by the young patriarch again.
"Slow down!"
Ning Zhen chuckled in his heart, turned around and saluted: "What did the young patriarch order?"
The young patriarch slowed down his tone: "I have read the list of the big exam this time, and Ning Zhuo is also there."
"He took the exam 31 this time, what explanation do you have as an uncle?"
Ning Zhen smiled bitterly: "Speaking of Xiao Zhuo, I am also deeply distressed, young patriarch."
"When the child grows up, he only feels that his wings are stiff, and he fell out with my wife after the exam yesterday."
"Alas, maybe Xiaozhuo lost his parents since he was a child, and we didn't do enough, which caused him to have a strange temper and withdrawn temperament. He is very stubborn and unwilling to go through the back door and let us rely on the relationship, because it will make his face pale."
The young patriarch's eyes froze: "Huh?"
"Ning Zhuo knows very well: Ning Zhuo's father, Ning Zhong, is your younger brother, but he is my savior. I promised them that I would take good care of Ning Zhuo and help him practice well."
"Children are ignorant, are you still ignorant?"
Ning Zhen hurriedly bent down and said: "Young Patriarch, I understand what you mean. I'll go back now and persuade Ning Zhuo to change his mind."
"Hmm!" The young patriarch waved his hand and issued an ultimatum, "If you can't do this little thing well, you will no longer be qualified to be a procurement manager!"
Ning Zhen felt like he had pressed a big stone in his heart, and returned home with a gloomy face.
When Ning Zhuo's aunt Wang Lan saw him, she immediately exclaimed: "Husband, why are you injured!?"
"Naturally, it was the young patriarch who beat him." Ning sighed.
The eldest aunt said hatefully: "This Ning Xiaoren is really! If he is capable, he will recruit his own customers, and he will only use his subordinates."
The eldest aunt complained while gently giving medicine to Ning Zhen's forehead wound.
The pain from the wound made the corners of Ning Zhen's mouth twitch. He snorted coldly and said, "Fortunately...... I finally took the opportunity to throw this hot potato out."
"But Ning Xiaoren has one more thing, tell me and let me do it."
"Alas, it's the bad thing about Xiao Zhuo!"
Ning Wei said briefly.
After hearing this, the eldest aunt immediately raised her eyebrows, like a cat with fried hair: "What? Do we really want to spend money to give him a way to enter the family business?"
"No, I don't agree!"
"How much does this cost?"
"We have raised him for so many years, and it is not easy to raise him. Do you still have to spend money now?"
The uncle sighed: "He lives in the school, there is no tuition, only a little living expenses, it is nothing at all."
"Besides, before his mother died of illness, he left a sum of money."
The eldest aunt shouted: "You don't understand, this money is ours!"
"Back then, Ning Zhuo's mother was lying on the hospital bed, so she took my hand and gave me the money."
"You were there at the time, and several other clan elders were also present."
"Ning Zhuo's mother said clearly, this money is not alimony for Ning Zhuo, but a thank you gift for us!"
"This money should be ours, we can use it however we want."
The uncle sneered: "That's why we can't treat Xiaozhuo badly."
"After all, I am his uncle, and he took the exam with 31st place this time. I don't make a fuss, I can't say it."
The eldest aunt gritted her teeth and raised her eyebrows, but she disagreed: "If you want to come up with such a large amount of money, you should kill me."
"This little rabbit cub who doesn't make people worry-free, and Ning Xiaoren, a greedy ghost, all deserve to die!"
"Master, can't you still see it? Ning Xiaoren specifically ordered you to do this, just to let you give him gifts, follow his path, and arrange for Ning Zhuo to enter the family business."
"Don't you know what kind of guy this guy is and what he thinks?"
"He is narrow-minded and heartless, and he may have forgotten the promise he made yesterday as an excuse today."
"In the past, we also thought that there was such a relationship that would make it easier to do things. As a result, there are some things that we ask him for, either he shirks left and right, or he asks for money."
"In order to find you a position as a purchasing manager, we asked the young patriarch for help, but how much did he ask for us? Three times as many as others!"
"Now, he just wants to use Ning Zhuo to blackmail us again."
"Hehe, if he really cares about saving his life, why has he never cared about Ning Zhuo once in the past ten years!? If he really wanted to repay the favor, he would directly exert his strength and arrange for Xiao Zhuo to enter the family business. He is the young patriarch."
"Hypocrisy, it's really too hypocritical!"
The eldest uncle sighed: "Oh, do you think I don't know? What he expressed was very clear, this time I was not doing well, if I didn't take the opportunity to please him and give him gifts, he would deprive me of my stewardship!"
The eldest aunt couldn't believe it: "The master, are you so soft? Let him extort my family?"
"You have a son."
"Ji'er also needs to practice, and he also needs practice resources. What can we give him? Even the pastries of Jinshantang can't satisfy him."
The eldest uncle's face darkened, and he shouted lowly: "Fart!"
"That golden jade dew cake, even if you are a big steward, you can't eat it as a snack."
"Don't worry, let me think about this matter carefully."
Ning Zhou was full of resistance to spending money to find a relationship and sending Ning Zhuo into the family business.
Compared with his wife Wang Lan, he is not worried about money, but about his own face.
Ning Zhuo fell out with the two of them and had a very stubborn temper. On this basis, Ning Zhi had to rush to find a good place for him, is this an elder?
This is clearly a servant.
