Chapter 42: Meeting with Dong Wan
"Shut up! What nonsense are you talking about?!" Old Master Yang immediately scolded.
This scene also made Yang Shengli, who was beside him, break out in a cold sweat. The old man was too cunning, he had clearly called Anna over himself. His purpose was obvious, the old master just wanted to break off this engagement. It wasn't that the old master was worried about the Nie family's power becoming too great. Rather, the old master probably also had his eye on Nie Zhenbang. Plus, with his own granddaughter Anna's personality, the old master naturally had to consider her well-being.
Ginger is still spicy after all. In this situation, outsiders can't say anything suitable, only Yang Anna's words are suitable, she's just a kid after all. Anyway, children's words are always innocent.
At this moment, Yang Anna was like an angry hen, standing up with a huff, staring at Dong Lao and then gazing at Nie Lao. It seemed that if Nie Lao agreed to the marriage, she would come over and fight to the death.
As soon as Yang Lao shouted, Yang Anna immediately burst into tears: "Grandpa, you don't keep your promises. I've said it before. Zhenbang brother is my lifesaver. This lifetime I won't marry anyone but him. I don't care. If you all don't allow it, then I'll just be his concubine."
At this time, people like Nie Lao and others were all from the old society. They had also seen things like three wives and four concubines. But Anna, this little girl, was only 14 years old and already knew these things, really precocious.
Dong Lao suddenly came to his senses and looked at Yang Lao with a profound gaze. This Yang youngster was so eager to snatch the son-in-law that he didn't care about the means.
Perhaps due to his confidence in his own granddaughter, Old Dong smiled and said: "In that case, let's just leave it at that."
Saying that, Old Dong looked at Yang Anna and said: "Little Anna, where did you learn all this from? You're so young, it's not good to watch those Hong Kong and Taiwan TV shows. Children should focus on studying. Grandpa Dong promises you won't take away your Vibang brother anymore. However, Little Anna, if your Vibang brother doesn't like you but likes Dong Wanjie instead, you mustn't cry."
Dong Lao is the kind of person who serves as the deputy director of the Central Advisory Commission, entrusted by the paramount leader to preside over the overall work of the Central Advisory Commission. In this era of transition from old to new, it can be said that the Central Advisory Commission is the true central authority.
Since Dong Lao has already seen the problem, he will not let the Yang family succeed, so Dong Lao proposed this plan, with a very clear purpose, which is free love, and it depends on who Nie Zhenbang likes.
Yang Anna looked at Dong Lao, her eyes sparkling. Next to her, Nie Zhenbang's head was throbbing with a headache. To be honest, in this life and the previous one, Nie Zhenbang had always felt guilty towards Yang Anna. However, it would still take some time for Nie Zhenbang to accept Yang Anna.
In his past life, Nie Zhenbang had no feelings for Yang Anna. Gratitude and love are two different things. In this life, Nie Zhenbang still doesn't know what the future holds, it seems that he can only take things one step at a time.
Yang Anna hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, Grandpa Dong, you have to keep your word."
Dong Lao burst out laughing and said with a profound meaning: "Old Yang, you have indeed given birth to a good granddaughter."
……
After the recognition was over, it had already been spread in the capital that the emperor recognized Nian San, the third young master of the Nie family, as his grandson.
The Forbidden City, the Purple Pavilion. This is where Comrade Akira's office is located. Inside the office, Comrade Akira looks at O'Hara in front of him with a somewhat gloomy expression. This side's probe did not expect to provoke such a large reaction from the reform faction. The leader, recognizing Nie Zhenbang as a dry relative at this time, also has the meaning of supporting Nie Zhenbang. After all, Woka Supermarket has been fully opened nationwide in the past two months and has set up 15 large supermarkets. Woka Supermarket is now famous throughout the country and has become a model for private enterprises.
"Hua Jun, let's slow down on the matter of Wo Jia supermarket for now. The general principle is to strictly control it. Once it's approved and opened, we won't interfere with it anymore. And those that haven't been approved, we will resolutely not approve them." Comrade Xu Ri pondered for a moment before speaking his mind.
Upon hearing this, Ou Hua-jun knew that the matter of his own son would be dropped. He nodded immediately and said: "Commander, I understand. You can rest assured."
……
The recognition event brought changes to the central level, but Nie Zhenbang didn't care about it. The situation has developed to this point, and Nie Zhenbang no longer needs to worry too much. At this time, the Nie family had already boarded the reformist's big ship, and they could rest easy.
At this time, Nie Zhenbang was dragged by Nie Jiaomin to the gate of Yu Ying School.
As Nie Zhenbang approached, a group of people had already gathered around, all old acquaintances, Li Tezhi, Liu Kun, Chen Jia's fourth child, and others, who were all mixed together with the Nie family.
"Third brother, Third Young Master! This time you've come over, it's not just to see your sister-in-law, is it? I've heard that the Dong family has proposed a marriage." Many people greeted him in succession.
"Go away! What do you know? Today, the three of us are here to scout ahead." Nie Jia Min also joined in the teasing.
A group of people, in a mighty and majestic manner, walked into Yu Ying School. On the playground, at this moment, another group of people also gathered together, with a young man standing in the middle, about 1.8 meters tall, very sturdy and robust. His eyebrows were straight and his eyes were bright, truly a rare handsome young man.
"Xiao, if you don't hurry up, it'll be too late. I just received the news a moment ago. Nie Lao San has arrived. It seems he's heading towards Dong Wan. If you don't make a move now, you'll regret it." A bespectacled person in the crowd spoke anxiously.
Next to him, a fat man also chimed in: "That's right, Xiao Xu. In terms of seniority, we're all from the same Dongye background, no worse than them. I heard that Nie Sanlang is now boasting about being the number one person in Beijing. What does he have to be proud of? The people in our Military Commission compound haven't even spoken up, what's Nie Zhenbang worth?"
"Xiao Hu, let's go, we'll meet Nie Zhenbang. In terms of background, your family's Zhang Lao Yezi is the number one in the People's Congress. He's the third leader of the Political Bureau, ranking much higher than that person from the Nie family. What are you still afraid of?" Someone on the side started to stir him up again.
In the capital, there are roughly several factions in this circle. Among them, the government is considered a faction, and the military is also a faction. At the same time, within the military, there are also different factions. In fact, it's just divided according to the troops of the older generation at home. Those who belong to the same troop have elders at home who are old comrades-in-arms, so naturally, the younger generation is more intimate with each other.
This is Zhang Xu, the eldest grandson of the Zhang family. The old man in the family was also from a military background. Although he is now serving in the People's Congress, Zhang Xu's parents are all serving in the military. He can be considered as one of the people in the military system. Among the cadres born in Dongye, he is a number one figure.
Zhang Xu was also a young and vigorous person, encouraged by his companions beside him. Immediately, he threw away the basketball in his hand and said in a low voice: "Let's go!"
At the entrance of the teaching building, Nie Jiamin stood beside Nie Zhenbang and pointed to a young girl standing at the railing on the third floor, saying in a low voice: "Old three, do you see? That's Dong Wan."
Following Nie Jiamin's pointing, on the third floor railing, a girl about 1.7 meters tall, with long hair flowing down, phoenix eyes, melon seed face, full of oriental charm. The clothes are very simple, but they fit perfectly. At this moment, Nie Zhenbang couldn't help but praise her, indeed a rare beauty in the world.
At this time, Zhang Xu and others had already come to greet them. Seeing such a group of people coming over with momentum, without Zhang Xu speaking out, the followers beside him immediately shouted: "Make way! Let's make way. It is said that Nie San Shao is the first prince in Beijing. Today, we are going to see what it's all about."
Nie Zhenbang furrowed his brow. This reputation was really too exhausting. His gaze swept over and landed on Zhang Xu's body.
The two gazes clashed in an instant, just like the duel of the top masters in a martial arts novel. In the first collision, the two rubbed out sparks.
Zhang Xu tilted his head, sizing up Nie Zhenbang. After a while, he said: "So you're Nie Zhenbang? Let me introduce myself, I'm Zhang Xu. From the Military Commission's Second Compound. If you're here to have fun, I welcome you. But if you're looking for Dong Wan, I advise you to know your place and get out of here immediately!"
Upon hearing this, Nie Zhenbang burst out laughing. Behind Zhang Xu, he had already seen Dong Wan walking over. With a faint smile on his face, he said: "Zhang Xu? I've heard of you. You have some skills. But after meeting you today, it's nothing special. As for what I'm here for, you don't even have the qualifications to worry about that."
Looking at Nie Zhenbang's appearance, Zhang Xu's face sank, and he smiled: "Wow, you're still quite arrogant, kid. Understand? Dong Wan is the one I'm interested in, not you. You're not afraid of death, come find her if you dare."
