Chapter 448: Old Friendship

Tian Erliang instinctively wanted to take action, but after Ning Yuan coughed behind him, Tian Erliang turned around and looked at Ning Yuan.

Wu Qiang stood beside Ning Yuan with a rather ugly look on his face.

After all, for these people, Ning Yuan is their master. Now that he has been humiliated like this, he must have some reaction.

After carefully looking at Ning Yuan's expression, he saw Ning Yuan preparing to step forward with a cold face, so he quickly pulled him and comforted him.

"Master Ning, please wait a moment. I'll go talk to them!"

Ning Yuan took a look at Wu Qiang and nodded.

He was already anxious to connect with the old connections introduced by Uncle Zhang and Uncle Fan, so he came over without even sitting for long in the courtyard that Zheng Liang and the others had found temporarily.

But I really didn't expect that I would run into such a blind person in such a remote place.

I really had this thought just now and didn't want to waste time with these two salespeople.

Only when Wu Qiang stepped forward to stop him did Ning Yuan stop again.

After seeing Ning Yuan nod, Wu Qiang hurriedly walked to the container.

He took out a dollar from his pocket and threw it to the two salesmen.

"Alright, you two, hurry up and bring the phone over. We need it urgently, and we'll pay you!"

The sturdy young man glanced at Wu Qiang.

Yes, he looks familiar. This guy has bought a lot of food and daily necessities from their supply and marketing cooperative in recent days, so naturally I have some impression of him.

But this is the situation today, and they are getting angry.

The sturdy young man simply waved his hand, but he really didn't give any face at all.

"I told you, the phone just broke, so I can't make calls today. Go back and come back tomorrow!"

"You~"

Wu Qiang blushed and pointed at the sturdy salesperson. Just as he spoke, a hand slapped him from behind.

When I turned around, I saw Ning Yuan and Hu Lianwang walking over.

Ning Yuan patted Wu Qiang on the shoulder, then pulled him back, indicating that he didn't need to say anything more.

Wu Qiang immediately stopped talking and stood behind Ning Yuan.

The salesperson behind the counter saw Ning Yuan's behavior and Wu Qiang's attitude, and had a rough guess about Ning Yuan.

Although Ning Yuan was angry at this time, he really didn't want to fight with the two salesmen.

He came here to settle Zheng Liang, Wu Qiang and others, so naturally he came here with the attitude of not causing trouble if possible.

So after taking a look at the two young men behind the container, Ning Yuan nodded, and without arguing with them anymore, he took out a big unity note from his pocket.

He walked up to them both and asked.

"Ten bucks, I'll make a phone call and you guys just collect the money!"

The sturdy young man and the other salesperson exchanged glances, then both couldn't help but look at the ten yuan on the counter.

"This isn't about money!"

The sturdy young man shook his head imperceptibly at another colleague, then continued speaking to Ning Yuan.

This kid seems to think he has caught a fat pig. After saying this, it is obvious that he is aiming to get more out of it.

Ning Yuan frowned. Hu Lianwang behind him was already panting and preparing to step forward. He stopped Hu Lianwang and took out a big unity card again!

(This chapter is to be continued! I had a few drinks with some childhood friends last night, so I really don’t have time to update. I can only sort out the plot ideas first, and make up for what I owe today tomorrow morning!)

"Twenty! Pick up the phone, and you two can split the twenty!"

After Ning Yuan threw the two big unity notes on the counter, he spoke to the sturdy young man behind the cabinet.

Of the two salesmen behind the counter, the taller and thinner one could hardly hide his joy. He nodded and winked at the sturdy young man, and even tugged at the corner of his clothes a few times.

When Ning Yuan saw the boy's appearance, he felt that the problem was not serious. Although it was indeed unpleasant, there was no need to rush.

After contacting Huang Guiyang and Uncle Huang introduced by Uncle Zhang and Uncle Fan, I can send Zheng Liang, Wu Qiang and the others away, and then come back to deal with the two of them without any rush.

Everyone turned their eyes to the sturdy young man.

The young man slapped away the tall and thin salesperson's hand that was pulling him, then looked at the two big unity bills on the counter, and looked up at Ning Yuan.

The corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and then he gritted his teeth and shook his head at Ning Yuan.

"Fuck you, kid! Are you looking for death here?"

Tian Erliang was standing in front of the counter. He was also a smart man. Seeing the actions and expression of the tall and thin salesperson just now, he already understood that the phone must be usable. However, this sturdy young man had grasped their anxious mentality to use it.

Secondly, it was because these outsiders had discovered their wealth and wanted to make a fortune if they could get a chance to do so.

So, if he is still shaking his head now, it means he must have a bigger appetite.

How can I not be angry? It’s just a phone call, it costs only one cent!

The one dollar Wu Qiang gave him at the beginning was enough for them to earn.

Tian Erliang reached out across the counter and grabbed the sturdy young man, shouting at him angrily.

"What? What? Do you want to take action?"

The sturdy young man was a little flustered when Tian Erliang grabbed him, but he was not afraid.

Since they are locals, they can find such jobs, so they must have some background and connections here.

There are only a few outsiders here. What can they do if they get angry? How dare they take action? Don’t they know that many people here live in clan-like communities?

Ning Yuan saw the boy shouting, so he walked up and patted Tian Erliang on the shoulder and said.

"Let him go, Erliang!"

"Ah, Brother Yuan, he, he, he..."

Tian Erliang obviously didn't quite understand Ning Yuan's instructions. He pointed at the young man and spoke to Ning Yuan anxiously.

"No rush, let him go first. I really want to see how big the locals' appetite is!"

As Ning Yuan finished speaking, Tian Erliang reluctantly let go of his hand.

Ning Yuan looked at the sturdy young man and asked him with a smile.

"Brother, why don't you tell me how much it will cost you to let me make this call today!"

The sturdy salesperson first glanced at Tian Erliang who had just grabbed his collar and spat on the ground.

Tian Erliang was about to explode again, but Ning Yuan suppressed him with his hand.

The boy then looked at Ning Yuan, looked him up and down, and spoke.

"Then take a hundred yuan first. You outsiders are rich, right? Didn't you say you wanted to build the village? Then make some contribution to us first!"

Ning Yuan smiled and nodded, then looked at the sturdy salesperson even more unscrupulously.

"You dare ask for a hundred dollars for a ten-cent phone bill? Do you know how many lives a hundred dollars can buy you?"

After hearing Ning Yuan's words, the sturdy young man's face froze.

He originally thought that Ning Yuan, the person who paid the money, was very kind and not as bad-tempered as the young man who had just made the move.

That's why I thought of extorting a large sum of money from him, but I didn't expect that the way this young man spoke was completely different from what I expected, that is, begging for mercy or bargaining in a good manner.

He stayed here for a moment, but Ning Yuan did not.

He then gave instructions to Hu Lianwang behind him.

"Beard, go close the door!"

Hu Lianwang responded immediately, turned around decisively and closed the door of the supply and marketing cooperative behind him.

Tian Erliang and Wu Qiang were even more astute. After hearing Ning Yuan's order to close the door, the two of them jumped directly from the container and went in.

The two men, one each, pinned the sturdy young man and the tall and thin young man, both sales clerks, against the counter.

Ning Yuan also went around the side of the container.

The tall and thin young man lacked courage. After Wu Qiang pressed his head against the container, he began to cry and beg for mercy.

The sturdy young man who was also pressed against the container by Tian Erliang struggled a few times to no avail, and then started shouting loudly.

Ning Yuan didn't give him a chance to shout out a complete sentence. He clenched his fist and smashed it into the mouth of the sturdy young man.

"boom!"

By the time Ning Yuan raised his fist, blood had already started to flow out of the mouth of the sturdy salesperson.

Brothers who often fight know that if you are punched in the side of your face, your cheek teeth and side teeth can be knocked out directly.

A side blow is far more effective than a frontal punch.

So, when he opened his mouth, five or six teeth with traces of moon rolled down.

"Dui Yi Lao Muga!!"

This kid is indeed a bit of a prick with a bad temper.

Yes, if you don’t have a temper and a reckless attitude, who would dare to say that?

Ning Yuan naturally would not tolerate him. He called Hu Lianwang, who had already closed the door, to go inside and pull out the phone, and then punched the salesperson who was still unconvinced again.

"boom!"

"I lost~"

"boom!"

"Hey! Meaaaa!"

"Bang! Bang!"

"You're such a tough bastard!"

Ning Yuan punched the sturdy young man in the face five or six times in one breath, hitting him until his eyes became dizzy and rolled back, and he almost lost consciousness. Only then did he stop, took two breaths, and cursed inwardly.

Seeing Ning Yuan stopped, Tian Erliang pulled the boy up from the counter and threw him to the ground.

This kid was indeed beaten unconscious.

As soon as Tian Erliang let go, he immediately collapsed to the ground.

No one cared about him. Hu Lianwang pulled out the telephone line from the utility room and handed the phone back to Ning Yuan.

The tall and thin salesperson that Wu Qiang was holding was already dumbfounded by Ning Yuan's move. Even though his body had begun to tremble and his teeth were chattering, he still kept his mouth tightly closed, not daring to make a sound.

Ning Yuan glanced at the tall and thin salesperson before dialing the phone. Seeing that the guy was so tactful, he took out the piece of paper with the phone number written on it with confidence, unfolded it, and dialed the number on it.

"Beep, beep, beep, beep!"

After the phone rang a few times, someone picked up the phone.

"Hey, who is that?"

"Hello, comrade. Is this the Coast Guard? I'm looking for Deputy Director Huang!"

Ning Yuan heard the voice of a middle-aged man on the other end of the phone, which sounded a bit like Huang Guiyang's voice, but he was not sure, so he asked in detail.

"Deputy Huang, oh, I'm Huang Guiyang, who are you?"

It was Huang Guiyang who answered the call directly.

In fact, this is normal. After all, he has a relationship with old comrades like Zhang Desheng and Fan Lei.

If you want to exchange contact information, you must leave the other party your office phone number directly. It is impossible to leave an outside office phone number.

Under normal circumstances, the person would definitely answer the phone himself.

When Ning Yuan heard that the person on the other side was Huang Guiyang, he quickly revealed his identity.

"Hello, Uncle Huang. My name is Ning Yuan. Uncle Zhang Desheng and Uncle Fan Lei asked me to come here to see you!"

"Ning, oh, Ning Yuan, that's our old battalion commander's son! Hahahaha, good, good, how come he's already in Guangzhou?"

Huang Guiyang was stunned at first, then he reacted immediately.

How could he not have any impression of this? After all, several people had already greeted him in advance.

I won’t say much about the letter his old battalion commander Ning Wanli wrote to him. After all, given Ning Wanli’s identity and his level, he had to pay attention to the impact.

So in the letter, I just asked about his and several other old comrades' recent situation, and then talked about his situation. As for Ning Yuan, his proportion in the entire letter was, well, probably no more than one-tenth.

Just a quick mention!

However, Ning Wanli only mentioned it briefly, so Huang Guiyang couldn't take it lightly.

Especially after receiving consecutive calls from two old comrades, Zhang Desheng and Fan Lei, he took this matter to heart.

He even took the initiative to contact several other old comrades who had retired locally and informed them of the situation.

Now they received Ning Yuan’s call, which was finally what they had been waiting for.

So, after he realized what was happening, he immediately began to ask whether Ning Yuan had already arrived in Guangzhou.

"We're already in Guangzhou. Uncle Huang, where are you? I'd like to come look for you. I went back to Guangzhou to visit my parents a while ago, and they specifically asked me to bring you some local specialties!"

Ning Yuan then said with a smile, as for local specialties and the like, there aren't many in his space, right?

Although Tian Erliang, Wu Qiang and the others were a little confused when they saw Ning Yuan coming empty-handed, they didn't dare to ask too much.

Huang Guiyang on the other end of the phone said immediately after hearing Ning Yuan's words.

"Oh, oh, oh, the old battalion commander and his wife still care about us! I knew it! They've been saving all the delicious food for us since then. It's been so long, and they still treat us old guys like half-grown children, haha!"

I really don't know whether Old Huang couldn't help but reminisce about the past, or was comforting and paving the way in advance so that Ning Yuan wouldn't be too restrained. Anyway, these were the old words he said naturally and with a hint of complaint.

After a pause, Huang Guiyang asked again.

"Dayuan, how are your parents doing? We've heard about what happened to them some time ago. Alas, there's nothing we can do to help them!"

Huang Guiyang on the other end of the phone sounded quite remorseful!
