Siheyuan: Game of Red Dust

Chapter 159 Egoist

"We don't object to them being together. We just feel that Cui Dake's conditions are better. Qiunan will have a better life in the future if she is with Cui Dake. After all, we are parents and we hope that our daughter will be happy in the future!" Ding Qiunan's mother said with an embarrassed look on her face.

Li Weidong curled his lips subtly, feeling contempt for Ding Qiunan's parents. They'd rather their daughter marry someone she didn't like, just to satisfy their own cravings. To put it bluntly, it was like selling their daughter to whoever offered the highest price.

Ding Qiunan grew up in such a family. She is selfish and self-centered and never considers others. Her needs are even more difficult to meet. They go beyond material needs, but she cannot do without material things.

Li Weidong felt that it would be better for Ding Qiunan to be with Cui Dake. Although Cui Dake was not a good person, he could please his parents and use his connections to get supplies, thus ensuring the material needs of Ding Qiunan and her parents.

Nan Yi is a straightforward person, and coupled with his poor background, in this era where it is easy to be accused of what you say and do, if he had not been protected by Li Weidong at the 011 Institute, who knows how much he would have suffered!
Li Weidong was also not optimistic about the two of them. Even if they could get married, conflicts would continue to arise in the future. But there was nothing he could do. Nan Yi was a stubborn ass. After several years, he was still obsessed with Ding Qiunan.

"Auntie, I'll tell you the truth. Nan Yi has been with me for several years, and we get along like good friends. Originally, I shouldn't be involved in this kind of thing, but since he asked me for help, I can't refuse! This is also the first time I've done this kind of thing, and I don't have much experience, so I'll just state the conditions directly!

If you agree, I can find someone to transfer you to a higher job. If Ding Qiunan wants to go to college, I can also help find her a job. The betrothal gifts will not be small. After all, Nan Yi's salary is not low. After all, Nan Yi should have saved a lot of money over the years.

Do you think it's okay? Give me a definite answer so I can make arrangements."

Li Weidong didn't waste any words. Knowing what kind of people Ding Qiunan's parents were, he just needed to prescribe the right medicine. He didn't have time to talk nonsense with her. If it really didn't work, then there was nothing he could do. He couldn't let Li Weidong use his power to pressure others.

"This... Leader, do you think this is okay? I'll write to you tomorrow, and we'll discuss it tonight and ask Qiunan's father and Qiunan for their opinions." Ding Qiunan's mother was obviously hesitant, but she was too embarrassed to agree directly, so she could only refuse, saying that she would discuss it in the evening and reply to Li Weidong tomorrow.

"Okay, it's not a small matter after all, and we need to discuss it. That's all for today. I have something else to do, so I'll go back first and come back tomorrow." Li Weidong stood up and prepared to leave.

"Leader, would you like to drink some water before leaving?" Ding Qiunan's mother said enthusiastically.

"Thank you, but no thanks. I have something else to do later. I'll come back tomorrow."

Li Weidong politely declined Ding Qiunan's mother's request to stay, got up and left Ding Qiunan's house, got in the car and left.

After seeing Li Weidong leave, Ding Qiunan's mother quickly locked the doors and windows and walked towards Ding Qiunan's father's unit.

……

Li Weidong left Ding Qiunan's house and did not return to the research institute. Instead, he went to the machine repair shop to talk to Ding Qiunan.

When he arrived at the door of the machine repair shop, Li Weidong did not go in, but asked the guard to call Ding Qiunan out.

After Ding Qiunan came out, Li Weidong rolled down the car window and gestured to Ding Qiunan to get in the car.

Ding Qiunan didn't hesitate when she saw Li Weidong, and got in the car. Li Weidong started the car and drove to a secluded corner. After all, it wouldn't be a good idea to talk in the car at the factory gate. They soon stopped in a deserted corner. "What do you want to talk to me about?" Ding Qiunan said to Li Weidong with a smile as the car stopped.

Li Weidong looked at Ding Qiunan deeply and said to him:
"Ding Qiunan, do you want to go to college?"

Ding Qiunan's face was somewhat gloomy. He nodded and said dejectedly:
"Yes, I want to go to college, but the factory and the main factory don't agree. Just like you said, my going to college will not be of any use to the machine repair factory, so no one will agree to let me go."

"What if there is an opportunity for you to go to college, but you have to pay something important, what will you choose? The opportunity to go to college, or?" Li Weidong asked Ding Qiunan.

Ding Qiunan's pupils shrank, and without saying a word, he looked at Li Weidong deeply, as if he was getting to know him all over again. After thinking for a while, Ding Qiunan seemed to have made up his mind. He took a deep breath and unbuttoned his clothes with trembling hands.

Li Weidong saw that Ding Qiunan had misunderstood, so he quickly turned his head and interrupted her.

"Put on your clothes. You misunderstood me. I don't have such intentions. What I meant was that Nan Yi asked me to send you to college, but I didn't agree because you and I are just acquaintances and we don't have much contact. Why should I help you?
But Nan Yi keeps pestering me, and I have no choice but to come to you. If you marry Nan Yi, I will ask someone to send you to college."

Li Weidong said bluntly.

"Huh, why are you pretending? There's no outsider here. Don't all you men have this in mind?" Ding Qiunan said disdainfully, somewhat dismissive of Li Weidong's action of turning his head away.

Li Weidong turned around and stared at Ding Qiunan fiercely.

"Do you think you're beautiful? Do all the people have to revolve around you? Have you been spoiled by these men in the machine shop?

To be honest, you're nowhere near as good as my wife! Don't take yourself too seriously. If it weren't for Nan Yi, I wouldn't even bother with you. You just have a slightly pretty face, do you think you're a fairy? Do you think everyone should be around you? Stop kidding!
Or do you think that your medical skills are very good, and working in a machine repair shop will delay you and prevent you from going to college, which will affect your future contribution to the country and will be a loss to the country?

Have you ever thought about why you were assigned to the machine shop instead of going directly to the hospital? Because your medical skills are not good, that's why you were assigned to the machine shop. What you think is good only in the machine shop. If you go somewhere else, your medical skills are nothing.

I don't know what you're so proud of. You put on a cold and arrogant face, thinking you're a princess or a great doctor?

Then I can tell you, you are just living in your own beautiful fantasy. The reality is very cruel, very brutal. Don't be too self-righteous. Just make down-to-earth contributions to the country. There will be no good results if you are too ambitious.

Li Weidong didn't give Ding Qiunan any face and scolded her harshly.

As Ding Qiunan listened to what Li Weidong said, tears kept falling and finally she burst into tears.
