"Bai Qing is telling a story about a recruit's eating!"
Seeing Shen Muqing's aggrieved eyes, Ding Ning explained patiently while putting food into her bowl, "There are rules for eating and resting in the army. The time for eating is fixed, so soldiers eat very fast!"
Shen Muqing nodded confusedly while enjoying the food, "My father is a soldier, so he eats very fast!"
"Your father is a veteran and doesn't eat with soldiers, so he naturally won't mention this joke. When eating in the army canteen, everyone scrambles to eat. The training of soldiers is very hard and exhausts a lot of physical strength, so the amount of food is also increased. A recruit who just entered the army doesn't know the trick of eating. After training, he feels very hungry. As soon as he enters the canteen, he takes a big bowl of rice and starts to eat. But when he finishes eating and wants to take a second bowl, he finds that the rice has been eaten up, so he can only eat vegetables to fill his stomach."
Ding Ning explained with a smile, "Recruits are distressed. Usually, they can eat at least one and a half bowls, but they can only grab one bowl, which is not enough to fill their stomach. What should they do? Later, they asked a veteran from the same hometown. He said that I can't eat enough every day, so how can I train? The veteran smiled and told him that there is a trick to eating in the army. The first bowl must not be full, but half a bowl first. Then, after eating half a bowl, go and fill a big bowl. In this way, you can eat enough. "
"Oh, I was wondering why Brother Bai only filled half a bowl. It turns out that he is afraid that there is not enough rice to eat!"
Shen Muqing was suddenly enlightened. She showed a brilliant smile and sighed with emotion, "Life is really full of knowledge!"
At this moment, Bai Qing had already stuffed half a bowl of rice into his stomach. He stood up to fill a big bowl with rice, picked up a large amount of vegetables with chopsticks, and stuffed them into his mouth. After chewing for a long time and swallowing, he happily narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully, "This story tells us that if you are fast, you will get it. If you are slow, you may regret it for the rest of your life."
"Eat your meal properly. Where did you get so many insights?"
Ding Ning did not know whether to laugh or cry and scolded with a smile. Bai Qing smiled and glanced at Shen Muqing meaningfully. He sighed in his heart and hoped that the girl could understand his good intentions.
A touch of obscure sadness flashed across Shen Muqing's eyes. She also wanted to fight for it, but when she thought of the harm that the Zhao Family might bring to Ding Ning, she couldn't help but shrink back.
It wasn't that she didn't have the courage to fight against fate. She wasn't even afraid of death, so why would she be afraid of fighting? However, she could not tolerate her lover being implicated and hurt. Her love was pure, flawless, and beautiful. She did not want to cause a tragedy because of her selfishness.
Bai Qing didn't say anything more. He just faintly heard some rumors that Shen Muqing would be engaged to Zhao Zilong a year later. It had nothing to do with him, but it was related to Ding Ning, so he couldn't just stand by.
However, although he was already the prospective head of the Bai Family, the marriage between the Shen Family and the Zhao Family had not been publicly announced, and it was only spread in a small circle. It was not appropriate for him to intervene in other people's family affairs, so he vaguely tested Shen Muqing's attitude.
He was ready to help her get rid of this marriage at all costs as long as Shen Muqing showed the intention to fight for it, which could be regarded as compensation for using Ding Ning to get the position.
Unfortunately, Shen Muqing's attitude disappointed him. Even she was not willing to fight for it, so what could he, as an outsider, say?
After the meal, everyone saw that Bai Qing had something to say to Ding Ning, so they took the initiative to leave first.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
Ding Ning asked as he lit a cigarette and crossed his legs.
Bai Qing sat beside Ding Ning without caring about his image, rubbed his full belly, burped, and said casually, "I want to sell Tiangong Entertainment to you!"
"What?"
Ding Ning opened his mouth wide in astonishment and asked incredulously, "Sell Tiangong Entertainment to me? Do you have too much money to burn? "
It was no wonder that he was surprised. With the suppression of the three major entertainment companies, Meteorite Entertainment, Tianhai Entertainment, and Star Art Entertainment, many of their artists had joined Tiangong Entertainment, and its ranking in the entertainment industry had skyrocketed. It could be said that its prospects were unlimited. At this time, Bai Qing wanted to sell Tiangong Entertainment to him. Wasn't this giving him money?
"Well, although Tiangong Entertainment was established for fun, it was also my painstaking efforts. I am also reluctant to make this decision."
Bai Qing took out a cigarette from Ding Ning's pocket, lit it, and took a deep puff. In the rising smoke, his eyes became a little helpless. "This world is like this. If you want to get something, you are destined to give up something. For me now, Tiangong Entertainment is something I must give up, so I want to sell it to you."
Ding Ning's face became a little strange. He seemed to think of something and asked tentatively, "Is it the pressure from the family? You and Jiang Yimeng … "
"Sort of, but not entirely!"
Bai Qing's face showed a touch of bitterness, and his eyes showed a trace of pain. "Yimeng has been with me for five years. She is a woman with petty cleverness but no great wisdom. In fact, she is a very suitable woman to take care of her husband and children. I want to marry her very much. In fact, we all know that we can't have any future because of our status. But people are emotional creatures. After getting along with her for five years, I can't give up her like this. I have talked with her, and she is willing to follow me for a lifetime regardless of the status."
Ding Ning seemed to understand, but also did not know why. He lit a cigarette and continued to listen silently.
Bai Qing let the cigarette burn on his fingertips, and his face, which had always been confident, became a little hazy in the smoke. Even his voice seemed to be out of reach. "The Old Master is one of the founding fathers of the country. He attaches more importance to reputation than life, and his thoughts are relatively feudal and conservative. Although he felt that he owed me and valued me more in the past, at that time, I was only a declining lineal descendant of the Bai Family, and I was far away in Ninghai. No matter how absurd I was, as long as I didn't make big news, no one would pay attention to me. But now it's different. With your help, I became the future successor of the Bai Family. I don't know how many people want to catch me and beat me down."
The cigarette had burned to the butt of the cigarette and burned Bai Qing. Then, he pressed the butt of the cigarette in the ashtray, lit another one irritably, took a deep breath, and his eyes became a little blurred. "In fact, I really don't care whether I can be the head of the family or not. The dirty things in the rich and powerful families are more absurd than people can imagine. I'd rather be the Childe Bai of Ninghai who is free and unfettered all day long, eating and waiting to die."
"If you don't want to do it, just don't do it. There's no need to force yourself."
Ding Ning patted him on the shoulder to comfort him. To be honest, the relationship between him and Bai Qing was very complicated. Although they were sworn brothers, they had never been able to communicate with each other.
Although they were friends, they were closer to each other than ordinary friends. However, they always felt that they were not close enough to be brothers. The most important reason was that Bai Qing was too scheming. If he was not careful, he would be used by him. Therefore, Ding Ning always had a little vigilance against him, which led to the current ambiguous relationship between them.
But at this moment, Bai Qing had come to a fork in his life. Since he chose to take the initiative to confide in him, he really regarded him as a brother. Ding Ning felt very gratified.
"Ding Ning, I have used you, and I have not formally apologized to you. I know this will make you feel very uncomfortable, but please believe that I have never thought of harming you. I just maximized the benefits under favorable conditions."
Speaking of this, Bai Qing looked at Ding Ning frankly and said, "I have been carrying some things since I was a child, so I am destined to live more cautiously than anyone else. Although the position of the head of the Bai Family is not what I want, it is one of my missions in life. I must be the head of the family in order to have the greatest right to speak and to seek justice for my grandfather, grandmother, parents, and aunt for the first branch." Ding Ning looked at Bai Qing sincerely and said, "Since I was a child, I have been carrying some things on my back, so that I can live more cautiously than anyone else.
Ding Ning looked at him in astonishment, and a terrible thought flashed through his mind. "Is it possible that your family …"
"Yes, my grandparents died unnaturally. My father and mother seemed to die in a traffic accident, but in fact, there are many suspicious things. My aunt, Siqiao's mother, failed to escape from their evil hands even though she went overseas."
Bai Qing's eyes were bloodshot, and his face looked a little ferocious because of hatred.
"Siqiao's mother also died unnaturally?"
Ding Ning was shocked and suddenly remembered that Siqiao once said that her father used to be very open-minded and optimistic, but his temperament changed greatly after her mother's death.
At that time, he did not think much about it. He thought that Qiao Yuhan and his wife loved each other very much, so his temperament changed greatly after his wife's death. He was worried that Siqiao would be sad, so he did not ask more.
But now thinking about it, perhaps Qiao Yuhan also realized that his wife's death was unnatural, so he became so suspicious and mean, but he did not tell Siqiao.
"Yes, although my uncle and I don't have any evidence, we have the same idea. My aunt was in good health, and she was kind to others. She didn't have any enemies at all. How could she be kidnapped suddenly? When my uncle found her, she had been brutally killed. Only my uncle and I knew about it. Even Qiao Qiao and Zhenya didn't tell us. They thought my aunt died of illness."
Bai Qing and his aunt had a deep relationship. His parents died early, and his aunt was his only relative in the world. Speaking of his aunt's death, he was obviously very emotional. With red eyes, he gnashed his teeth and said, "I have been assassinated more than 1,000 times since I was a child. I thought that since my aunt married my uncle and went overseas, she would not be involved in any grievances, but I didn't expect that these people still refused to let her go."
"Who on earth is it?"
Ding Ning only felt a chill from his tailbone to the top of his head. How much hatred did they have to have planned to kill all the members of the family, including a harmless woman? Didn't it mean that Siqiao was also very dangerous? This made him strangely angry, and his tone was full of strong killing intent.
"I don't know!"
Bai Qing's face was full of bitterness. He rubbed his face and said painfully, "I used to think it was Bai Jing's family, but according to my observation during this time, they might have sent someone to assassinate me, but it should have nothing to do with my aunt's death. Because of this, I feel terrible. The enemy hiding in the dark is the most difficult to deal with."
"Is there no clue at all?"
Ding Ning's face became serious. Anyone who had such an invisible enemy lurking in the dark would feel like a fishbone stuck in his throat and be restless.
"No, forget it. Let's not talk about this. I want to sell Tiangong Entertainment to you because many people in the Bai Family want to seize my weakness to attack me. After all, Tiangong Entertainment is my private property. As the head of the family, I am not allowed to have private property. If I don't sell it, it must be included in the property of the Bai Family."
