Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife novel Chapter 1352

Chapter 1352: Chapter 1353: Arranged Marriage in This Day and Age?

The family sat down in order of seniority, and Ning Gang served Old Master Ning his tea before taking his seat.

"The matter with the Loo Family is settled, and Jiang Conghe’s issue has also concluded. It means that the eldest has one less competitor, but he cannot let his guard down." Old Master Ning said slowly, "I heard that the person newly appointed to Jiang Conghe’s position is from Guangcheng?"

"Yes, Cheng Junquan. His father has an old friendship with Elder Chief Song in the Capital." Ning Gang replied.

Old Master Ning remarked, "The intentions at the top are unpredictable now. Whether it’s Jiang Conghe or this Cheng Junquan, they both come from poor families. I’ve noticed in recent years, the higher-ups seem more inclined to promote those of lower origins. Conversely, the Old Red Army’s people..."

His expression was somewhat grim. As society continues to develop, the Old Red Army faction is not as influential as it once was. He recently saw news about a Red Army veteran living on government welfare, barely surviving.

Ning Gang remained silent, but seeing the displeasure on his father’s face, he said, "Dad, don’t worry. I’ve been in this position for a few years now, and Director Wang is well aware of the situation."

"Caution is paramount." Old Master Ning advised, "Some matters cannot be settled with just a word from Director Wang. The heart of man is unfathomable."

Ning Gang nodded and said, "I see this Cheng Junquan as a cautious person too. For now, he seems to be positioning himself correctly."

Old Master Ning was about to speak when he noticed Ning Ge fiddling with his fingers and turned the topic towards him: "Fourth, what do you think?"

"Me?" Ning Ge pointed at himself and said, "Director Wang should retire next year, right? With Commander Cheng just arriving, it won’t be his turn anyway. But then, you never know with others!"

Ning Gang furrowed his brows.

"The commander isn’t just our elder brother. It’s more about opportunity; other military districts and departments have people at the same level, so it’s uncertain!" Ning Ge said, "But, hasn’t the nomination list come out yet?"

Ning Gang’s tone relaxed slightly as he said, "Yes, my name is on it!"

Old Master Ning’s heart eased a little, saying, "Until it’s finalized, be more cautious. As the fourth said, you’re not the only one on the nomination."
