The story of the second son Ding Zehui

When Xu Ning woke up the next day, workaholic Ning Bing had already left for work.

He simply washed up, reheated the breakfast Ning Bing had left for him, and then headed to Binjiang Centennial after eating.

The entire morning, the Property was still very busy.

Not only did the normal Property tasks need to be carried out, but he also had to supervise the installation of shoe cabinets by the Residential Complex's entrance, and also the preparations for the Community Office canteen.

Fortunately, Xu Jiafei's abilities had improved rapidly after this period of training; she could manage most things in an orderly manner, saving Xu Ning a lot of worry.

As usual, he would walk a few laps around the Residential Complex every day to see if anything was not done properly, and then chat with the owners who were strolling or walking their children in the Residential Complex, asking if there was anything that needed improvement.

They say the devil is in the details; while it may not be an absolute truth, if the details are handled well, the owners will certainly notice.

Although he initially had the goal of making a lot of money, and still thinks so now, after such a long time together, Xu Ning had indeed developed an unusual bond with the owners.

At least, he genuinely hoped the owners would live better lives.

“Mr. Xu, I’m really a bit too busy; I have too many things on my plate.”

“Otherwise, why don't you be considerate of your subordinate and hire another Property Manager?”

Xu Jiafei said to Xu Ning with a bitter, pretty face, sounding quite wronged.

Xu Ning spread his palms, looking helpless and innocent.

Why wouldn't he want to find a competent Property Manager?

He simply couldn't find one!

Even if he could find someone who truly met Xu Ning's requirements—not focused on profit, always prioritizing the owners—in actual operation, he would probably still line his own pockets.

Xu Ning actually didn't care much about minor embezzlement or accepting small favors.

But the likely chain reaction would be the owners' interests being harmed.

Therefore, the issue of hiring a Property Manager must be approached with extreme caution.

“How about this, I'll call Ding Zehui over, and he can take charge of the Community Office canteen for now,” Xu Ning mused.

His second brother, Ding Zehui, was at Haoding Group. Although the overall business scale wasn't enormous, because there were many wholly-owned companies and Xu Ning rarely showed up, he managed all the Group's affairs.

Of course, in Xu Ning's opinion, even Haoding Group's current priority wasn't higher than the Property's, as Haoding Property Management would be the foundation for the next year.

Xu Jiafei, naturally aware of Ding Zehui's capabilities, breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Ning pulled out his phone to call his second brother, but just then, Ding Zehui called him instead.

“Oh, you actually thought to call me?”

“Did you know I had something for you?”

Xu Ning said cheerfully.

Ding Zehui on the other end of the phone also chuckled.

“Otherwise, how would we be good brothers!”

“You go first, what's the matter?”

Xu Ning naturally didn't need to be polite with his good brother, so he explained the situation.

“No problem, it just so happens that there's not much going on at the Group these days, so I'll go help out at the Property!”

Ding Zehui finished speaking, but then changed the subject.

“Third brother, I also have something, and I was thinking of discussing it with you.”

Xu Ning was startled, a suspicious expression appearing on his face, wondering what Ding Zehui's matter was.

“What is it? Just say it directly, there's nothing to be embarrassed about!”

Ding Zehui seemed genuinely embarrassed, as if finding it difficult to speak, and stammered for a long time before finally saying it.

“It's like this.”

“Since I'm staying in the Imperial Capital and not going back to my Hometown, my mom has been busy trying to get me to find a partner and get married early.”

“So, a while ago, she must have met a good sister, and that sister has a daughter who is also in the Imperial Capital, and they want to set us up.”

“I met this girl the day before yesterday; she seemed okay, but I always felt like I couldn't quite see her clearly.”

“So I was thinking of asking you to help me take a look, after all, you have experience as a matchmaker!”

In fact, this matter really did require Xu Ning's involvement.

Among the four brothers in their dorm, the eldest was the most generous, having been influenced since childhood in how to treat people, and was flawless in that regard. But precisely because of this, he carried a slight air of a rich young master; even if not much, it was unavoidable.

The fourth brother, on the other hand, was more brawn than brains; when it came to things requiring thought, he usually wasn't considered.

Although Xu Ning had always been low-key during his school years, because his family's financial situation was poor at the time, he tried many ways of part-time work, interacting with people from all walks of life, so he was definitely better at judging people.

Not to mention he was now clearly a wealthy man, and his position also determined his different perspective on people.

After hearing Ding Zehui's words, Xu Ning felt immense pressure.

If it were about helping others set up connections, he naturally wouldn't feel any pressure.

But now it was about a good brother, so he had too many concerns. What if he ruined his brother's good fortune?

However, since Ding Zehui had said so, Xu Ning felt it would be good to meet her.

Not to offer any advice, just to meet and get acquainted normally.

Who knows, she might become his second sister-in-law in the future!

“Then how about this, you see which day you have time, and you bring her.”

“Also call the fourth brother and his wife, and we all have a meal together!”

Xu Ning said with a smile, not revealing too much of his thoughts.

“Don't bother with 'which day,' let's make it tonight!”

“It's been a while since I went to Lis Private Kitchen.”

“I'll call the fourth brother in a bit, and third brother, you call the restaurant to reserve a private room, don't forget!”

Ding Zehui said happily, not knowing if he was happy because the brothers were getting together, or for some other reason.

After hanging up, Xu Ning, afraid he might forget, quickly called Lis Private Kitchen.

Not to mention Ding Zehui, even he himself hadn't been to Lis Private Kitchen in a while.

Seeing that there was nothing for him to do at the Property, and it was almost noon, Xu Ning simply put on his yellow vest to deliver takeout.

He made up his mind that he must complete a few more orders at noon.

After all, he had dinner tonight, and might not have time to run errands later.

He opened the rider app for takeout, clicked 'online,' and prepared to grab orders.

Swish!

He swiped right quickly and successfully grabbed an order!

He clicked on the details and found that both the restaurant and the customer were not far.

Such orders were undoubtedly the most popular among riders.

He quickly picked up the meal from the vendor and then arrived downstairs at the customer's home.

This was an old Residential Complex, or rather, it couldn't even be called a Residential Complex, because there were only eight buildings in this area, and they weren't enclosed.

Perhaps due to its age, the unit door lock was broken.

Xu Ning pressed the number, but there was no response.

There was no choice but to call the customer directly.

“Hello, what is it?” The call connected, and a young woman's voice came from the other end.

“Hello, I'm the rider delivering your takeout. Can you open the intercom downstairs now? I can't get up!” Xu Ning said calmly and truthfully.

He had expected it to be a smooth order, but what followed made him lose his temper.
