Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife Chapter 1541 - 1542: Only the Best Gifts Will Do

Brother Ning finds himself not particularly fond of wielding power. The ceaseless political power struggles have always presented a brutal arena, where a single issue often necessitates multiple analyses of its advantages and disadvantages. A solitary miscalculation could very well spell complete ruin.

Such endeavors are utterly draining, to the point where any semblance of enjoyment vanishes. It simply isn't suited for him.

Certainly, engaging in business also demands considerable exertion, and the business world has its inherent complexities. However, navigating this domain proves far more freeing compared to the realm of politics, which requires a much broader consideration of various factors.

In any case, with his elder and second brothers already immersed in politics, and even his sister participating, why would the Ning Family insist on forcing him into that arena as well? His involvement would be an added benefit, but his absence would incur no loss. Perhaps he could even carve out a new path in the world of business; who could say?

Thus, when faced with the choice between political skirmishes and commercial contests, he opts for the latter. This decision stems not from a lack of ambition, but rather from a preference for what aligns better with his disposition.

Just like now, if he desires a drink, he drinks. Were he an official, he would constantly need to monitor his public image.

"Brother Ning, what are you lost in thought about?" Zhou Jun delivered a firm clap on Ning Ge's shoulder. The man had simply drifted away mid-conversation.

Ning Ge's senses returned. He swirled the contents of his mug, the ice within clinking with a soft chime.

"Nothing significant. What are your thoughts on what I just proposed?" Ning Ge inquired with a smile.

"The opportunity to collaborate with you, Brother Ning, is naturally a fantastic prospect. The real estate market seems poised for a significant upturn. In my view, the market in Guangcheng is still relatively untapped. Brother Ning, your elder brother holds a high position now. Should we perhaps begin acquiring land in this area?" Residing in the capital, Zhou Jun possessed considerable knowledge of the Ning Family's affairs. Consequently, when Ning Ge suggested a real estate venture, he was indeed enticed.

The Ning Family wasn't just represented by Chief Ning; Ning Li was a formidable figure as well!

"My elder brother is in the military. What connection does land acquisition have with him?" Ning Ge lightly tapped his head, though he acknowledged the underlying point. Construction was a slow process; the crucial element was securing the land. Now was the prime time to claim several plots, he stated. "We can discuss this further over drinks once Cheng Yaozu arrives!"

Zhou Jun readily agreed, replying, "I'll follow your lead."

Ning Ge nodded, paused for a moment in thought, and then added, "I've acquired a godson!"

"Hmm," Zhou Jun responded with a casual "Oh." Then, he questioned, "Huh? A son?"

"Godson!" Ning Ge emphasized, gritting his teeth slightly.

"And consequently?"

"For this collaboration, I intend to claim a larger share, serving as a token to memorialize the bond with my godson," Ning Ge remarked nonchalantly.

Zhou Jun nearly choked at such a grand gesture. However, considering the Ning Family's current standing, it could only be beneficial. He replied, "Not a problem. Once the Cheng Family arrives, we'll hash out all the details together. We're all brothers, so why quibble over such matters?"

Only then did a smile grace Ning Ge's lips.

His partnership with Cheng Su was already remarkably smooth, and the two families maintained a cordial relationship. With such good fortune unfolding, he naturally wouldn't overlook Cheng Su and the others.

However, this portion of shares wouldn't require any payment from Cheng Su or his associates. Having officially taken on the role of Qi Xiaoqi's godfather, a suitable gift was certainly in order, wasn't it? Gold and silver felt too commonplace; if a gift was to be given, it should be something truly valuable.

After enjoying another drink, Ning Ge's gaze shifted, and he abruptly sat upright. Song Jiaying? She was present in a place like this?

"By the way, Brother Ning, did you know? That Jiang..."

"We'll discuss it later. I've just encountered an acquaintance!" Zhou Jun had barely begun his sentence when Ning Ge pressed his mug into Zhou Jun's hand and strode directly towards Song Jiaying at the bar.

Zhou Jun let out a couple of surprised exclamations, observing his companion approach a woman. He raised an eyebrow, thinking, Ah, Brother Ning is finally making a move!
