Chapter 350: Being hidden?
Near the end of 1979, Suning received a call from Li Zhicheng in Ningbo, asking him to return to Ningbo to celebrate the New Year. Suning, who was already "homeless", happily went.

It was impossible for Suning to leave empty-handed during the Chinese New Year, so he specially prepared a lot of gifts for Li Zhicheng's family in the space. Knowing that Li Qixi was blind, he prepared the latest model of women's sunglasses for Li Qixi.

When Li Qianqian accepted Suning's gift, she couldn't help but feel surprised and immediately put on the sunglasses that Suning gave her.

"Mom, do you think it looks good?"

"Beautiful! Really beautiful!" Jiang Hong was delighted for her daughter. "It even has green lenses!"

"Haha, thank you, Brother Jiang."

"Sissi, you're welcome!"

Looking at the sensible Su Ning in front of him and the smile on his daughter's face, Li Zhicheng became more and more satisfied. "Changyi, are the school assignments busy lately?"

"It's not bad! I feel like there's not much difference between school and life in the army."

"Well, that's good!" Li Zhicheng nodded with a smile, "Changyi, do you know about your father's promotion?"

"Haha, I see! And I have to thank you for your help, uncle."

"Changyi, don't be polite with your uncle, we are a family!"

"Yes, uncle is right."

Li Zhicheng looked at the nanny Xiaolin and Li Qianqian at this time, "Xiaolin, take Qianqian upstairs to rest for a while. I have something to talk to Changyi about."

"Yes! Mr. Li!"

After Xiao Lin helped the blushing Li Qianqian back upstairs, Li Zhicheng and Jiang Hong looked at Su Ning and said, "Changyi, we called you back this time because we have something to ask you."

"Uncle, aunt, feel free to ask anything you want to know."

"Well, Changyi, what do you think of Xixi?" Li Zhicheng nodded with a smile.

"Uncle, Sister Sissi is really well behaved. We have been in touch through letters."

"Well, if I wanted you to marry her, would you be willing?"

"Huh?" Su Ning didn't expect Li Zhicheng to be so direct. "Uncle, I don't know what Xixi means?"

"Changyi, I'm asking you now."

"Uncle, aunt, as long as Xixi is willing to marry me, I, Jiang Changyi, am willing to take care of her for the rest of her life." Suning looked at Li Zhicheng and Jiang Hong solemnly at this time.

"Haha, that's good!" Li Zhicheng and Jiang Hong looked at each other happily, and then Li Zhicheng continued, "Since you are willing to marry Xixi, and we only have Xixi as our daughter, then Changyi, you can marry into our Li family!"

"Ah? Uncle, I want to marry Sissi, not live with her as a son-in-law."

"Humph! Aren't they all the same? What's the difference?" Li Zhicheng's face suddenly fell when he heard Su Ning's correction, and he started to argue, "I think you just read a few days and started quibbling with us."

Seeing Li Zhicheng's unreasonable and confusing behavior, Su Ning was also stunned. "Uncle, although the relationship between me and the Jiang family is very tense and my father doesn't like me as a son, I will never be a live-in son-in-law."

Li Zhicheng and Jiang Hong were both surprised that Suning would refuse so resolutely. Li Zhicheng's expression became increasingly grim. Jiang Hong quickly spoke up to smooth things over, "Changyi, why are you so stubborn?

As long as you marry into our Li family, your future will definitely be smooth sailing. Why bother about these meaningless reputations?

Besides, it’s a different era now, no one cares about live-in sons-in-law anymore.”

"Aunt, Uncle, thank you for thinking highly of me, Jiang Changyi." Su Ning looked at Li Zhicheng and Jiang Hong solemnly, "If you are willing to marry Xixi to me, I will love her wholeheartedly, and our first child will also have the surname Li.

But if I have to be a live-in son-in-law, I really can’t accept it.”

"you"

"Changyi, do you really care about these empty reputations?" Jiang Hong quickly stopped Li Zhicheng from taking action, then continued to persuade Su Ning with a wry smile, "I don't think you truly love our Xixi at all, and you can't make unconditional sacrifices for her."

"Auntie, Uncle, I really can't love anyone without any bottom line."

"Hmph! If you can't do it, get out of here!"

"I'm sorry! Uncle, Auntie!" Su Ning bowed directly to Li Zhicheng and Jiang Hong. "Thank you for your care all the time. I'm sorry to have let you down."

"roll!"

Li Qianqian, who heard the noise upstairs, felt heartbroken and couldn't help but lie on the bed and cry bitterly. The confused Xiao Lin could only try his best to comfort the heartbroken Li Qianqian.

"Xixi, stop crying! Crying for too long is bad for your eyes!"

"Hmm." Li Qianqian ignored Xiao Lin's comfort and continued to cry with her head covered.

Seeing Su Ning turn around and leave, Li Zhicheng and Jiang Hong's faces turned very ugly. "Humph! Young people nowadays start to get cocky after achieving a little success."

"Old Li, what should we do now that the talks with Jiang Changyi have broken down?"

"Humph! Do you really think I, Li Zhicheng, am a good man?

Don’t think that Jiang Changyi can do whatever he wants just because he goes to college. I will make him cry without tears.”

"Ah? Old Li, how are you going to deal with Jiang Changyi?"

"Hmph! Don't be impatient!
When he graduates from university, he will understand the power of me, Li Zhicheng."

Suning did not expect the current situation, and he also knew how many problems he would face if he rejected Li Zhicheng this time, but he had to refuse. He really couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart.

After leaving the Li family, Su Ning returned directly to Changsha. There, he became oblivious to the world outside, absorbed in the study of sages and sages. After all, enriching himself was the most important thing. Having experienced many worlds, Su Ning was fluent in German, Japanese, English, and Korean. To honed his language skills, he took courses in all four languages, quickly becoming a highly sought-after technical and language talent at the National University of Defense Technology.

Although he had broken off talks with the Li family, Su Ning knew that Li Qianqian might be the saddest one, so he kept in touch with her through letters in the following days.

Of course, since he never received a reply from the other party, Suning gradually reduced the frequency of communication until there was no contact at all. Let's just forget each other.

Until Su Ning graduated from school, a lot of things happened in the Jiang family. First, Jiang Yaning was admitted to Shandong University with high scores, and then Jiang Yafei and Hou Chengnan got married, which surprised Su Ning when he learned the news.

Jiang Defu celebrated both of these happy events with great fanfare and invited many relatives and friends, but Suning did not show up. He just gave his two sisters thoughtful gifts to express his feelings.

When An Jie celebrated his 50th birthday, he personally mailed an invitation to Suning. Suning still did not have the nerve to go, but just mailed a gift and said no more.

And the adopted brother from the rural hometown also married the second aunt's daughter just like in the original drama. This time, Suning directly sent 500 yuan to his home, which emptied all of Suning's savings in one go, and also made Suning experience what it meant to be a "poor soldier."

Time passed by in a flash. It was already the end of 1981 and it was time for Suning to graduate. Seeing his classmates being taken away by their new units one by one, Suning suddenly felt something was wrong.

No matter what, as the most outstanding student of the National University of Defense Technology, I should be the first target to be sought after by various units, but now I am facing unusual cold treatment.

Suning recalled his four years of university life carefully. He worked so hard that even he was moved. Apart from normal rest time, Suning spent almost all of his time on studying and never had any conflicts with his classmates or teachers.

After thinking about it, it could only be because of Li Zhicheng. He is also the only "big shot" that he has ever offended. It seems that he does not intend to let him go easily.

After guessing the mastermind behind the scenes, Suning immediately thought about his own way out. He remembered that he had a good relationship with Captain Su of the school, and now it seemed that it would be difficult for Captain Su to stand up for him. Then there was the principal who had always admired him. Logically, he should not stand idly by, so Suning continued to wait with peace of mind.

Finally, Suning was summoned by the principal. When Suning walked into the principal's office, he saw many school leaders sitting inside, and they looked at him with regret.

"Student Jiang Changyi, I'm sure you've been feeling anxious lately."

"Haha, Principal, I'm fine!" Although he already had a bad feeling in his heart, Su Ning still said with a forced smile.

"Jiang Changyi, since no unit is willing to accept you at the moment, the school recommends that you change your career."

"What? Recruitment?" Su Ning heard a result he had never expected, which was even worse than his worst expectations. "Principal, is there really no unit willing to accept me?"

"Yes!"

"."

At this time, Su Ning really felt uncomfortable. According to common sense, after graduating from the military academy, he would at worst be sent back to his original unit. Even with Li Zhicheng's interference, Jiang Defu from Green Island, who was also in the navy, should have accepted him. However, Jiang Defu did not stand up for Su Ning. I don't know if he was worried about offending Li Zhicheng, or wanted to keep his resources and connections for his other children to use.

"Haha, where are you going?" Suning's smile was full of absurdity.

"Shenzhen!" The principal looked at the devastated Su Ning with a hint of pity. "The school plans to establish a company in Shenzhen based on a department-level research institute to respond to the call of the country's reform and opening-up policy."

"Principal, what position will you give me?"

"The position is general manager!" the principal continued. "He enjoys a 5% share dividend and is treated like a director-level official. This is already the highest standard."

"Thank you, principal!"

"Jiang Changyi, if you don't want to change careers, you can stay at the school and teach. It's also a very good way out."

"Hehe, Principal, if I agree to transfer, can I make some requests?"

"Request?" The principal and many school leaders looked at each other in surprise.

"Jiang Changyi, I'm sure you know why you're in this situation today," a school leader said in a calm voice, unable to bear it any longer. "It's already very good that the school has secured these two options for you. How can you still make demands on the school?"

"Principal, fellow school leaders, I have my reasons for making this request, and of course you can refuse it directly."

"Well, Jiang Changyi, you can talk about it first."

"Principal, leaders, I will be looking for funding for the company in Shenzhen. I will contribute 80% of the capital, with a 60% stake. The school will contribute 20% and provide technical support, holding 40% of the company's shares."

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" The school leaders rejected it in unison.

The principal also looked at Su Ning in surprise, as if they were meeting for the first time. "Jiang Changyi, according to the plan, the company's registered capital is one million. If you contribute 80%, that's a full 800,000. Where will you raise so much money?"

"Yeah! You can't possibly have that much money!" The other school leaders finally woke up from their dreams and looked at Su Ning with amused eyes. "I think Jiang Changyi wants to borrow money from the bank and then make a fortune out of nothing."

"Principal, leaders, I naturally have my own way. Even if it means borrowing money from a bank, as long as the bank is willing to lend me money, it means that I am complying with the law."

"This..." The principal was also feeling embarrassed at this time. "Jiang Changyi, we have never had such a precedent before, so we can only report it to the higher-ups for review."

"Yes! Principal, I am willing to continue waiting."

"Well, then you should go back first!"

Su Ning had never expected that Jiang Defu would not come forward to help her. She had to know that she got along very well with her five brothers and sisters-in-law and often exchanged letters with them. There was no reason for him to be unwilling to help her solve the problem.

It is obvious that Jiang Defu is somewhat afraid of Li Zhicheng and is unwilling to have a direct conflict with him. Jiang Defu chose to turn a blind eye to Li Zhicheng's move to put Suning on ice.

In recent years, Jiang Weiguo and Jiang Weidong have developed very well in the army. Jiang Defu and An Jie are also happy to see it. Whether it is connections or resources, there will be a day when they will run out, so Jiang Defu is not willing to waste resources for Suning at this time.

After figuring everything out, Suning suddenly smiled bitterly. He thought he was very good at making friends and getting along well with everyone, but when the real crisis came, no one was willing to help him.

This is really an ironic thing. He was arranged to transfer to another job as soon as he graduated. Suning really didn't know what to say at this time. He would rather go to the border to guard the border than transfer to another job in such an unclear manner.

But Suning is now almost powerless to resist and can only passively endure the suppression from Li Zhicheng. If one day he can no longer bear it, no one will shed tears for him even if he dies.
