Elder Ning nodded and said, "I have already explained to your father that if society wants to be truly harmonious and stable, it must control unstable factors. Of course, the premise is to be careful not to create white terror and not be used by those with ulterior motives as a means to eliminate dissidents. History has taught us too many lessons."
Ning Qiangwei smiled and said, "Grandpa, I understand."
Old Ning's frown slowly relaxed, and he stared at Ning Qiangwei for a long time before asking, "By the way, you haven't told me how you're getting along with Fang Zhicheng?"
Ning Qiangwei curled her lips and said, "I don't have any feelings about that sissy. I don't hate him, but I can't say I like him either."
Old Ning smiled and said, "Qiangwei, you know that grandpa loves you the most. If you don't like Fang Zhicheng, I will never force you."
Ning Qiangwei snorted and said, "Grandpa, you know, he is very fickle..."
Seeing Ning Qiangwei actually act like a little girl, Old Ning smiled and said, "How many successful men are not unfaithful? When Grandpa was young, he also fell in love with every woman he met."
Ning Qiangwei glared at Old Ning and said, "Grandpa, how can you speak for him like that? It makes a man's promiscuity a sign of success. I know a lot of people who are not so promiscuous."
Ning Lao smiled and said, "For example?"
Ning Qiangwei said: "For example, Zang Yi, his life is not that chaotic."
Ning Lao said, "The boy from the Zang family? He doesn't seem to be married. I heard he has been pursuing you. How about betrothing you to him?"
Ning Qiangwei raised her eyebrows and asked, "What about the alliance between the Ning and Su families?"
Old Ning smiled and said, “You are not the only girl in the Ning family.”
Ning Qiangwei opened her mouth wide and said in surprise: "Do you still want to marry my second sister to Fang Zhicheng?"
Old Ning narrowed his eyes and smiled, "At least your second sister won't reject Fang Zhicheng so much."
Ning Qiangwei was silent for a moment and said, "Second sister and brother-in-law have such a deep relationship, it is unlikely that she will accept another man again. If she does so, it will make Second sister extremely painful."
Ning Lao said: "So you still decided to try to get along with Fang Zhicheng?"
Ning Qiangwei nodded and said, "Although Zang Yi has good character and decent conduct, he is... too boring. Every time I'm with him, I can never find any topics to talk about. Of course, this doesn't mean that Zang Yi is not funny, but I just can't get interested in what he says."
Ning Lao said: "What about Zhicheng?"
Ning Qiangwei pouted her small mouth and said, "Every time I'm with him, we always quarrel. He's a sissy who likes to nag about trivial things, which makes me want to block his mouth."
Old Ning smiled and said, "In fact, life revolves around trivial matters and family matters. You are very smart and you have probably made up your mind a long time ago. By the way, I received a message yesterday that Zang Yi seems to be going to Hanzhou."
Ning Qiangwei nodded and said, "He sent me a text message yesterday, and I already knew about it."
Elder Ning exhaled lightly and said, "It's really surprising. I didn't expect the northern faction to react so quickly and actually send out Zang Yi. This is a very powerful opponent for Fang Zhicheng. Zang Yi is far superior to Fang Zhicheng in terms of qualifications and resources."
Ning Qiangwei asked doubtfully, "Don't you think highly of him?"
Ning Lao said: "He is still very young and has the qualifications to fail. Even if he loses to Zang Yi temporarily, it doesn't matter. This will allow him to enter another level of vision."
Ning Qiangwei frowned and said, "No one likes the feeling of failure."
Ning Laodao: "Are you worried about him?"
Ning Qiangwei blushed and said stubbornly, "I won't worry about that sissy."
Old Ning smiled and said, "Qiangwei, I still want to emphasize that if you don't want to get married like this, I will never force you."
Ning Qiangwei felt a little confused, so she stood up and said, "Grandpa, let me think about it again."
Mr. Ning's health has not been very good recently. Ning Qiangwei saw that he looked a little haggard, so she left the ward. After leaving, Ning Qiangwei suddenly felt flustered, because she didn't know when there was a person in her life. Fang Zhicheng was like a shadow, always appearing, but Ning Qiangwei didn't mind knowing some news about him.
Meeting her second sister outside the door, Ning Xiangcao saw that Ning Qiangwei was a little dazed and had lost her usual alertness, so she smiled and said, "Qiangwei, what are you daydreaming about here?"
Ning Qiangwei came back to her senses and said with a smile: "Nothing, I was thinking about work."
Ning Xiangcao nodded, glanced at the ward, and said, "Grandpa, how is he?"
Ning Qiangwei's face darkened and she said, "My spirits are sometimes good and sometimes bad. Since Grandpa Fang passed away, Grandpa's health has been getting worse."
Ning Xiangcao sighed and said, "During this period of time, you should take fewer missions and spend more time with grandpa. Grandpa loves you the most."
Ning Qiangwei nodded and said, "Sister, what do you think of Fang Zhicheng?"
Ning Xiangcao smiled, held Ning Qiangwei's hand, and said softly: "Qiangwei, although Zhicheng has many shortcomings, he is a very decent person. If you marry him, I can rest assured."
Ning Qiangwei shook her head and said, "Sister, I will try my best to accept him."
Ning Xiangcao felt empty in her heart, but she said, "Don't do it for Grandpa, or for me and my elder sister. Make a decision based on your own heart. After all, your marriage has not been finalized yet."
Ning Qiangwei let out a sigh of relief and said lightly, "I will be responsible for myself."
Ning Xiangcao looked at Ning Qiangwei, and the image of Fang Zhicheng flashed through her mind. She felt mixed emotions, but she was a woman with a strong character and would not show her emotions on her face.
Ning Xiangcao has always felt heavy because of her sister's engagement with Fang Zhicheng.

Su Qing flipped through a document beside him, frowned, and then called his second brother Su Mo, "How come we didn't get notified in advance about Zang Yi's trip to Hanzhou?"
