Although Ding Ning lacked knowledge in the economic field, he was extremely smart and good at thinking.
He could often grasp the essence of the problem from Mr. Feng's answer. After a quick understanding and digestion, he could quickly draw inferences and ask him more in-depth economic questions.
At first, Mr. Feng still had the idea of teaching a junior and could easily answer his questions in simple terms. But as the communication went deeper, Ding Ning's questions became sharper and more profound. He had to think for a long time before he could give the correct answer.
"Mr. Feng's great talent really benefited me a lot."
Ding Ning exclaimed in admiration, sincerely convinced.
"Your ability to learn shocked me, even incredible."
Mr. Feng wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and praised sincerely. He said self-mockingly, "In just an hour, you have learned all my knowledge. If you continue to ask, I'm afraid I will really make a fool of myself."
"Mr. Feng is too modest. With your erudition, among the people I know, there is only one person who can be compared with you. It's just that his focus is different from yours in the economic field."
Ding Ning said sincerely, but he did not know how much impact and shock this sentence had on Mr. Feng.
There were not many people in the think tank. Each think tank had their own focus, but Mr. Feng could stand out and become the chief think tank. Naturally, he was recognized by everyone as the best.
Since ancient times, scholars looked down on each other. Although Mr. Feng did not dare to say that his knowledge was the best in the world, he still had the pride of a scholar in his bones.
Even if he focused on the economic field, he had always been knowledgeable and had a strong memory. Except for a limited number of highly specialized subjects, he thought that even if he was not as good as some people in other academic fields, he would not lose by much.
But Ding Ning said that someone could be compared with him in erudition, which completely aroused his competitive spirit. He pretended to say casually, "I don't know who Doctor Ding is talking about? I would like to meet him if I have the chance. "
Ding Ning did not know what he was thinking. He showed a trace of longing on his face. "He is my great master. Although he is a bit strict and rigid, he is a really knowledgeable person."
"Oh, it turns out to be Doctor Ning's master. May I know his name? Where is he now? "
Mister Feng was even more interested. To be able to teach such a student like Ding Ning, this great talent that he had never met before seemed to have real talent.
"The Great Master's name is Meng Wenhan, and I call him the Headmaster. He is well-versed in the Four Books and Five Classics, loves to play the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and respects the teachings of Confucius and Mencius. He has a noble temperament, wears a tall hat, performs ancient etiquette, and is always strict with the standards of a gentleman. In his spare time, he likes to study strategies and tactics, and his eloquence is unparalleled. If he was born in ancient times and assisted the emperor, he would definitely be a famous scholar."
Ding Ning sank into deep reminiscence and sighed. "Pity, it has been many years since we parted. I do not know where he is now."
"A famous Confucian official?"
Mr. Feng's eyes suddenly widened, revealing a yearning look.
The character of scholars was destined to be dismissive of stinking money. However, scholars valued fame. There was no scholar who did not want to leave his name in history and become a great scholar that would be passed down for generations. Mr. Feng was no exception.
"Yes, the Headmaster is quite old-fashioned. People often say that he is an old scholar, but he always dismisses it with a smile. He always demands himself with the principle that 'a gentleman's righteousness is the quality, and he must perform etiquette, teach his students, and fulfill his trust'. He has never done anything shameful, and he always keeps his promises. He is honest and trustworthy. He is really a true gentleman."
Ding Ning smiled and showed pride on his face.
Seeing his true feelings, Mr. Feng could not help but yearn. He wished he could debate with this Headmaster who was quite a gentleman and see if the person who could be admired by Ding Ning really had real talent.
"What are you talking about? You are so congenial."
A powerful and steady voice came, and Chief No. 1 walked in slowly with a smile on his face, surrounded by two guards.
"Chief!"
Ding Ning and Mr. Feng hurriedly stood up to greet him.
"You are not an outsider. Don't be polite. Sit down."
Chief No. 1's words made Ding Ning feel flattered. He did not treat him as an outsider.
Mr. Feng was used to being casual. When there were no outsiders, Chief No. 1 was very casual to him. He said with a smile, "I just chatted with Doctor Ding for a while. I didn't expect that Doctor Ding, you are so young, but you are so talented in economy and strategy. Your insights are so refreshing and beneficial to me."
"Mr. Feng, you flatter me. My ability is far inferior to yours. I haven't thanked you for your previous guidance."
Ding Ning hurriedly waved his hand and said modestly. After both of them were seated, he leaned forward and sat down with half of his buttocks raised.
"Oh, one of you is a genius in the economic field, and the other is a genius in the medical field. You can still find a common language."
Chief No. 1 raised his eyebrows and asked with great interest. He reached out and signaled the guards to make a few cups of tea.
"Haha, Chief, you don't mean it. No matter in the economic field or the medical field, there are always similarities. What's more, Doctor Ding is the youngest academician. Not only in the medical field, but also in other fields. His knowledge is extremely broad. Naturally, we can find a common topic."
Mr. Feng said jokingly. From his unrestrained casual attitude, it could be seen that the relationship between him and Chief No. 1 was not only a working relationship, but also a personal friendship.
"Sir, you are right. I have forgotten that Academician Little Ding is the youngest panda in our country. Every academic field can't exist alone. It involves professional knowledge in all aspects. It is reasonable for me to have a common language with a panda like you."
Chief No. 1 was very approachable and said very humorously.
Mr. Feng sipped his tea and said nothing with a smile, but Ding Ning was stunned and absent-minded. He did not expect that Chief No. 1 would have such a high evaluation of him.
The two guards who were making tea glanced at Ding Ning in horror and were secretly shocked. They did not know who this young man was and why he could get such a high evaluation from the chief.
It should be known that pandas were national treasures. Chief No. 1 compared him to the youngest panda, which meant that he had sealed the coffin and regarded him as a national treasure. There were no more than ten people like him in the whole Shenzhou. All of them were gray-haired people who had made great contributions to the country.
Such a young lad, what virtue or ability did he have to be able to receive such a supreme honor?
"Chief, don't make fun of me. I come here to make trouble for you this time. Just don't drive me out later."
After all, Ding Ning was a person who had seen big scenes. He soon recovered his calmness and changed the topic with a wry smile.
"Oh, it's good to make trouble. I like young people to make trouble. It shows that there are still young people in our country who dare to fight and fight. They are willing to tell the truth and dare to tell the truth!"
Chief No. 1 laughed heartily, took a sip of tea, and waved his hand forcefully. "Say it. Since some comrades are not principled enough to shut you out and let you sneak in, I'm afraid that the trouble you mentioned is not small."
Ding Ning grinned. He knew that although Chief No. 1 was meeting a guest just now, everything that happened in the Central Bureau could not be hidden from him. He did not want to add insult to injury to Gao Molu, which could easily give the chief the impression that he was narrow-minded.
With a serious look, he said seriously, "Chief, I don't know whether what I'm going to say next is troublesome for you, but I know it must be solved."
"There are no outsiders. Just say it."
Chief No.1's expression also became serious. He bowed and sat up straight, showing a look of interest.
Ding Ning knew that this sentence was to tell him that he did not need to avoid Mr. Feng. Immediately, he stopped talking and told him what Jiang Zhongze had done in detail.
Chief No. 1 listened expressionlessly from beginning to end, without any emotion. After he finished talking incessantly, he frowned and said, "Do you have any evidence for what you said?"
"Yes. After all, it involves a senior official. This kind of thing can only be handled with conclusive evidence."
Mr. Feng said seemingly unintentionally.
However, Ding Ning instantly understood his hint. "It seems that the person behind Jiang Zhongze has a powerful background. Even the No. 1 Chief can't make empty promises and easily deal with a provincial-level cadre without evidence."
"I have the evidence. Could you please find me a laptop?"
Ding Ning said politely to the two guards who were standing straight.
The guards ignored him, but looked at Chief No. 1 with an inquiring look in their eyes. When they saw the chief nod, they quickly took a laptop.
"Chief, please look. This is the surveillance video taken when Zhang Manting, the wife of Mayor Jiang, was chased and tried to kill her."
Ding Ning first showed the video of Zhang Manting being rear-ended and hit by a series of cars in front of the Green Cloud Club.
Chief No. 1 looked at the video, but did not say anything. After all, this video could not prove anything. Not to mention whether it was a traffic accident or not, even if it was a deliberate murder, it could not be related to Jiang Zhongze.
"Look again. This is the scene of the car wrecking after hitting Zhang Manting, and the appearance of the perpetrators. And they are all criminal policemen of various district bureaus under the Ninghai Police Station."
Ding Ning also knew that this video could not be used as conclusive evidence. He continued to show the next video, which clearly showed the appearance of the perpetrators.
Seeing this video, Chief No. 1's expression changed slightly, but he soon returned to normal. No matter whether this case could be related to Jiang Zhongze or not, the fact that the criminal policemen of the district bureau ran away after the accident and concentrated on destroying the car involved in the accident made people have to doubt whether this was a premeditated murder.
"Although it can prove that the police are involved in this case, it cannot prove that it is related to Mayor Jiang, right? The evidence is still not enough. "
Mr. Feng frowned and said. Although he also thought that this matter could not be separated from Mayor Jiang, only relying on this evidence could at most make people doubt Jiang Zhongze, but it was not enough for Chief No. 1 to make a decision.
"Also, the next video is the evidence of Zhang Manting secretly taking some bribes in order to protect herself. Before showing it, I must tell Chief the ins and outs of the matter."
Ding Ning peeped at Chief No. 1. Seeing that Chief No. 1 still looked as usual, he knew that the Chief's self-control had reached an unfathomable level, and he could not help but admire him secretly. But since he had come, how could he go back empty-handed?
"You say … Wait, Xiao Li, go and call Secretary Ge."
Chief No. 1 was about to let him go on, but he suddenly seemed to think of something and asked the guard to call his secretary.
"Yes, Chief!"
Xiao Li stood at attention and saluted. Then he turned and ran out quickly.
Secretary Ge came very quickly. In less than three minutes, under the guidance of Xiao Li, he ran over and greeted Mr. Feng and Ding Ning in a very generous manner.
To Ding Ning's surprise, he was sure that this was the first time he met Secretary Ge, but he directly called him Academician Ding and greeted him as if he had known him for a long time.
Ding Ning soon felt relieved. Secretary Ge was the personal secretary of the Chief, and there were no small things about the leader. He must have seen his information before, so he could recognize him at a glance.
