Ning Zhuo heard Ning Xiaohui's voice, so he left the dining table and came to the courtyard to meet his former classmates.
Ning Xiaohui and Ning Zhuo are students of the same class.
Ning Zhuo is in the school, and his performance is in the upper and upper reaches, which is mediocre. Contrary to Ning Zhuo, Ning Xiaohui, as a member of the main vein and has a talented ice fat jade hand, has always occupied the first place, and in the school, she is like a star-like existence.
At this moment, Ning Xiaohui looked indifferent, her eyes were cold, and she glanced at Ning Zhuo who was coming.
She was a little surprised: I didn't expect that the inconspicuous classmates around me in the past actually looked good.
Scan up and down.
"I really can't tell that you are actually the creator of the mechanism fire monkey."
Ning Zhuo sighed and said a little embarrassedly: "This ...... I feel like it's 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 looked at all the information about Ning Zhuo, including many manuscripts and drawing papers found and reproduced by the Ning family investigation team in the underground workshop.
Ning Xiaohui saw from this that Ning Zhuo had the entire research and development process of the mechanism hot monkey, and found that the latter had been developing it for at least five or six years since he had this idea.
This discovery greatly lowered her evaluation of Ning Zhuo.
Ning Zhuo walked up to Ning Xiaohui: "May I ask if you call me out, what's the matter?"
She took a small step back and said in a questioning tone: "You actually dedicated this mechanism to outsiders, why don't you report it to the family first?"
Ning Zhuo sighed, spread his hands, and his face showed depression and innocence: "I also want to tell the family. But at that time, my mechanism was still flawed and needed to be repaired, and it was not complete at all!"
"I can't do it."
"I asked Chen Cha for advice at that time and solved the design problem of the mechanism monkey. But I didn't expect that it would be exposed like this, and I would be favored by a big man in the end."
"What can I do?"
"Fortunately, they gave me the money back."
"Hmph, you're talking about Master Faith, right?" Ning Xiaohui deliberately revealed her name.
Ning Zhuo suddenly showed a look of surprise.
Ning Xiaohui saw that she had achieved her goal, the corners of her mouth curled slightly, and she sneered: "Ning Zhuo, you are patronizing money, you are simply a rat."
"I don't know the word profit, the name is first, and the profit is behind. With a name, it is advantageous."
"Fame is much more important than profit!"
"What a great reputation is it to create a hot monkey? Now, it has been taken away. How can such a loss be made up for by some money?"
"Is that so?" Ning Zhuo scratched his head, looking innocent and stupid with a face that was not deeply involved in the world.
Ning Xiaohui saw Ning Zhuo's silly face, and suddenly felt a sense of disgust in her heart, and lost the desire to continue talking with him.
As everyone knows, it was Ning Zhuo who saw through her stupid and arrogant nature and easily handled it.
Ning Xiaohui turned around and left: "I came to you specifically to tell you that there is a small banquet tonight, and I will lead you there."
"You need to clean up and don't lose people to my clan."
Ning Zhuo was surprised: "Excuse me, what kind of banquet? Who are you?"
Ning Xiaohui then walked without looking back: "It is the people in the three joint teams this time, Zheng Jian, Zhou Zeshen and Zhou Zhu."
"Dragons don't mate with snakes, you can follow me when the time comes, talk less."
"Oh, okay." Ning Zhuo quickly replied, "Oh no, I still have to ask the young clan elder 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.
He asked the young patriarch for instructions, but he just said this on purpose. I have long known in my heart that since Ning Xiaohui can break all the way to the back house, she must have been approved by Ning Xiaoren.
"Ning Xiaohui is the main vein, I am just a branch."
"My cultivation and institutional 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 families are united, it is relatively fair, and the Ning family is at a competitive disadvantage, and it also needs Ning Zhuo's personal performance to help Ning Xiaohui.
That's why he was treated with courtesy.
"But Ning Xiaohui is not a tolerant temperament, and if I continue to stand out and show my talents in the future, she will become my obstacle."
"Only by removing this roadblock can I move on."
Ning Zhuo took one step and counted three steps.
As the saying goes, people have immediate worries without long-term worries, and he has already begun to think about how to move Ning Xiaohui, a roadblock.
After thinking for a while, he shook his head slightly and smiled distressedly.
He couldn't think of any good way.
Ning Zhuo first reported to the young patriarch Ning Xiaoren and informed him about the small banquet in the evening.
Ning Xiaoren saw Ning Zhuo's behavior like this, and tested the latter's obedience in his bones and was quite happy, so he immediately expressed his approval, and said that Ning Zhuo's clothes were not suitable for participating in the banquet, and asked someone to tailor Ning Zhuo's clothes.
The young clan chief holds a high position and has many servants. In the cultivation world, just tailoring ordinary clothes is extremely efficient.
Only in the evening, there is a finished product.
And not one, but three.
Ning Xiaoren did not miss this opportunity to show overtures.
He was present throughout Ning Zhuo's fitting and praised him again and again.
At the end, his eyes were red, and his tone was a little choked: "It would be great if Brother Ning Zhong was alive, seeing your nephew looking like you now, he will be very pleased."
Ning Zhuo hurriedly asked his father about his situation.
Ning Xiaoren didn't know where he knew, he coughed, and said that it was too late to shirk it, and his uncle and nephew reminisced about the past, so they could leave it for later.
In his heart, he thought that he wanted to check all the information about Ning Zhong and see where he could fabricate it to disguise the deep friendship of the previous generation.
"Oh, that's right." Ning Xiaoren took out a money bag and handed it to Ning Zhuo.
"I know you have a huge amount of money, but you should accept this pocket money, it's a little greeting gift from 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 very sluggish, which made Ning Xiaoren stunned for a moment.
"Thank you, Uncle Ning!" Ning Zhuo's gratitude was more crisp than ever.
Then, the young man said: "Uncle Ning, how can I have any huge money!"
"I never felt like I had a lot of money. In fact, it's really not much at all."
"Besides, how can there be too much money?"
"Thank you, Uncle Ning."
Ning Zhuo thanked him again.
Ning Xiaoren couldn't help but cough dryly: "Okay, I am very pleased that you can accept it."
Looking at Ning Zhuo checking the money bag, his mood was a little complicated.
On the one hand, Ning Zhuo's attitude towards money is simply expounding Ning Xiaoren's own voice.
This is a confidant!
But this kind of confidant...... Well, don't do it.
In particular, Ning Zhuo took his Ning Xiaoren's money.
On the other hand, it makes sense!
Ning Xiaoren thought of all the information he saw.
When Ning Zhuo was a child, he was treated harshly by Ning Zhen and Wang Lan, and he had almost no pocket money, which was quite poor. On the other hand, Ning Ji is dressed in fine clothes and food, and has enough food and clothing.
Ning Zhuo is very tight, and after going to school, he often goes out to do odd jobs.
With this growth route, Ning Zhuo's desire for money must be very strong.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Ning Zhuo can agree and give the name of the creation of the mechanism hot monkey to Chen Cha, and he himself enjoys huge profits.
Leaving Ning Zhuo, Ning Xiaoren was very satisfied in his heart.
Because he found that it was actually not difficult to win over Ning Zhuo!
To win over a person, it's actually very simple - to do what you like!
"Ning Zhuo's first preference is mechanical skills. The second preference is money."
"Well, let's use the classics of mechanical arts to win him over."
Because when it comes to money, he Ning Xiaoren himself also likes it very much.
Night fell.
The carriage stopped, and Ning Zhuo jumped out of the carriage first.
Then, Ning Xiaohui stepped on the back of the servant and Shi Shiran got out of the carriage.
"Ning Zhuo, your identity is different now, so you must pay attention to your every move." Ning Xiaohui frowned, "Jumping off the carriage at will, your actions are too frivolous, it is not the work of my disciples."
"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. Everything was quite new to him.
Ning Xiaohui's brows furrowed deeper: "Follow me."
Ning Zhuo hurriedly followed.
Ning Xiaohui said again: "Don't follow me so tightly, stay away from me."
Ning Zhuo: "Oh, oh."
"Welcome, welcome, you two." Zheng Jian personally stood at the door of the private room to greet him.
This small banquet was hosted by him.
Ning Xiaohui and Ning Zhuo entered the private room and found that Zhou Zeshen and Zhou Zhu had arrived.
Several people gathered together, all smiling.
This experience alone already made Ning Zhuo feel a little novel. Because he had never seen these geniuses smiling and talking gently with a pleasant face.
The dishes at the banquet are naturally exquisite.
Ning Zhuo's eyes were bright, staring at the dining table, he moved his chopsticks the most times.
Zheng Jian and others were paying close attention to Ning Zhuo.
They knew Ning Xiaohui better, but they lacked enough understanding of Ning Zhuo who suddenly appeared.
Although the two of them also made every effort to investigate, they had information that was not inferior to that of the Ning family.
But many times, what is needed more is to spy and understand face-to-face.
Seeing that Ning Zhuo wanted to suppress himself and behaved indifferently, but he always couldn't help but eat and drink, everyone gradually had a bottom in their hearts.
With the intelligence, they quickly outlined an image of Ning Zhuo in their minds - a monk at the bottom of the family who showed talent, a former marginal little person, entered the upper circle by chance, and when he first adapted, every move was out of place, and every little look he observed around him revealed his humble past.
In the process of eating and drinking, Zheng Jian and the others naturally talked about the Lava Immortal Palace.
Zheng Jian first raised his glass to Ning Xiaohui and said: "I would like to thank the Ning family for providing the talisman, so that I will not be randomly drawn by the fairy palace."
"Since the three of us are united, everyone here also has three layers of peak qi refining cultivation, so we can let go of the talismans together and enter the palace to explore at the same time."
"I believe that if we join forces, we will definitely be able to break through the difficulties in front of us."
Ning Zhuo pricked up his ears and listened seriously. He said in an enthusiastic tone and with an excited expression: "That's right, if we join forces, we will definitely be able to pass all the way and make great progress!"
Zheng Jian: ......
Zhou Zhu: ......
For a while, there was a rare silence at the small banquet.
