Chapter 116 The Second Wave of Pressure Wang Zipeng talked a lot, telling the story of what had happened in the factory in the past few days like a bamboo tube pouring beans. Qian Fangqi was stunned by what she heard. She never imagined that Ning Weidong, who usually kept quiet in the yard, would suddenly become a powerful figure in the factory. What was even more unexpected was that at the age of 21, he had become a deputy section chief with real power. Now thinking back to how Wang Zipeng treated Ning Weidong just now, she suddenly felt that there was no problem at all. At the same time, Ning Weidong pushed his bicycle back to the courtyard. As soon as I entered the Moon Gate, I saw Bai Fengyu. Bai Fengyu's eyes lit up and she shouted, "Weidong, it's time to get off work~" Ning Weidong hummed and winked at her.
However, there were many people coming in and out of the courtyard at this time, so he did not go up to tease her. He smiled and said, "Sister Fengyu, are you cooking~" Bai Fengyu responded and was about to say something else when the door curtain of the upper room was lifted and Wang Yuzhen poked her head out and called out "Weidong". Bai Fengyu shut up, turned to look up at the room, and called out with a smile, "Sister Yuzhen." Wang Yuzhen nodded with a fake smile and said, "Fengyu, let's cook~" Ning Weidong didn't dare to exchange glances with Bai Fengyu anymore and immediately went into the upper room. Leaving Bai Fengyu pouting, he went to the cellar. When Ning Weidong entered the room, Ning Weiguo was already at home after get off work, and Ning Lei, who looked unlucky, was doing his homework at the table. The winter vacation is over, and his good days are over too. He will never be as free and easy as the wind again. Seeing Ning Weidong, Ning Weiguo immediately asked him to sit down and asked about his situation during the day. Ning Weidong did not hide anything, nor did he express any dissatisfaction with the withdrawal of the Wang and Zhao families. Because he is not qualified yet. What the Wang and Zhao families did could not even be considered as destroying the bridge after crossing it. Because Ning Weidong's position from the beginning to the end was that of a usable chess piece. He was being used from the moment he was put on the chessboard. Being used is his job, and being used and then abandoned is his destiny. How can I feel wronged? If you don’t have this awareness, just don’t go to the table. There is no benefit for anyone to be too emotional before reaching a certain level. Only by being an emotionless chess piece, using others and being used calmly or even indifferently, can you go further. Therefore, Ning Weidong was able to remain so calm after realizing during the day that the Wang and Zhao families would both withdraw after fulfilling their promises. Because before he traveled through time, he had already gone through a similar stage and experienced the feeling of being stabbed in the back by someone he trusted.
At this point, any emotional venting is meaningless. If you have that energy, you might as well save it for figuring out how to realize your own interests. For Ning Weidong, the only thing he had to do was to find a way to push Li Peihang up, and then successfully become the deputy section chief and take over Li Peihang's power. Facing Ning Weiguo and Wang Yuzhen, Ning Weidong did not hide his thoughts and intentions. After a long chat, he said at the end: "Brother, sister-in-law, I understand that the family has its own overall situation to consider, but I still hope to fight for it, just in case it works~" Ning Weiguo frowned and said, "How confident are you in stopping Wang Kaifeng?" Ning Weidong thought for a moment and said, "It's hard to say. If Li Weibing is willing to contribute, it will be more than 50%." Wang Yuzhen said nothing. She felt that her father's behavior this time was a little unkind. Ning Weidong made the greatest contribution in the whole thing and played a very crucial role, but when it came to sitting in the back row and dividing the fruits, they ignored Ning Weidong. As a sister-in-law, she felt really bad. This is why, after her father resumed work, he only promoted Ning Weiguo and kept her in school. In her father's words, although Wang Yuzhen is a woman, she has a chivalrous spirit and cannot tolerate any injustice. She cannot afford to be an official. Ning Weiguo thought for a moment and said, "Since you want to fight for it, it's not impossible. There will always be a result in the end. No matter what... you have already given an amazing performance this time." Ning Weidong nodded, knowing that Ning Weiguo wanted to comfort him, and smiled, "Brother, don't worry about me. I understand these principles. But Wang Guoqiang thought that the Wang and Zhao families could have whatever they wanted in the factory after they withdrew. He was wrong this time." …… Even after the meal, Ning Weiguo and Wang Yuzhen did not ask Ning Weidong what he wanted to do specifically. They were waiting for Ning Weidong to speak. Since Ning Weidong didn't say it, it means he didn't want to say it. After finishing the meal, Ning Weidong wiped his mouth, stood up and said, "Brother, sister-in-law, I'm going out for a while and may be back late." Ning Weiguo said: "Go ahead, be careful." Ning Weidong said "Oh" and then said to Wang Yuzhen, "Sister-in-law, I'm leaving." Wang Yuzhen didn't know what to say. She watched Ning Weidong leave and couldn't help but let out a long sigh. She said worriedly, "Weiguo, do you think Weidong will have any thoughts this time?" Ning Weiguo took her hand and squeezed it: "Don't let your imagination run wild. Weidong is always our brother." Wang Yuzhen hummed, feeling a little confused. Her father has the final say in the Wang family. The influence of her and Ning Weiguo is very limited, and Wang's father will not consider Ning Weidong when making decisions. Although he was just a pawn, Ning Weidong performed quite well, whether it was the marriage with the Zhao family or at the Red Star Factory. But that’s all. No matter how outstanding a chess piece is, it is still a chess piece and can only play a unique role in a certain step or in a certain position. Once you complete this step, or leave this position, its importance decreases dramatically. This is the case with Ning Weidong.
When the Wang family and the Zhao family joined forces to complete the deal with the faction behind Wang Guoqiang, Ning Weidong's step was completed. From now on he can only rely on himself. Taking advantage of the conditions and bargaining chips currently at hand, try to find ways to maximize your own interests. …… Coming out of the upper house, Ning Weidong took the key to unlock the car, patted the saddle as usual, turned around and pushed the car out. There were shadows in Bai Fengyu's house next door, and the shadows of the sisters Bai Fengyu and Bai Fengqin could be seen. After leaving the Moon Gate, Ning Weidong glanced towards Wang Kai's house. The room was dark and without any light, and it was obvious that no one had returned. Tonight, Wang Kai went out with a kitchen knife and made such a big noise. Although he didn't kill anyone in the end, I'm afraid it will be difficult to clean up the mess. There were quite a few people watching at the time, and Ning Weidong guessed that some of them must have gone to report to the police. If the authorities are really alerted, it will be difficult to deal with. Ning Weidong retracted his gaze, pushed his bicycle out of the compound, tiptoed on the ground, got on the bike, and rushed straight to Ning Wei's house. It was past seven o'clock and the alley was pitch black, although there were lights in front of the doors of each slum. But in recent years, with the abolition of the system of managing the courtyard, many of the courtyards are no longer managed and everyone lives their own life. You can see from this lamp that seven or eight out of ten are not lit now. Ning Weidong rode very fast thanks to his good eyesight and familiarity with the road. It took less than five minutes to reach Ning Wei's house. Before I reached the door, I saw a man standing in front of it holding a bicycle from a distance. When I got closer, I saw that it was indeed Ning Wei. "Third brother!" Seeing that it was Ning Weidong, Ning Wei took two steps forward. Ning Weidong slowed down a little, but did not stop. After Ning Wei got on the bike, the two of them sped up. Ning Wei faced the wind and said, "I have completed everything you asked me to do this afternoon. Shall we go straight over now?" Ning Weidong nodded: "There is no time to lose, just go over there." Ning Weidong responded, pedaled a few times, and rushed ahead to lead the way. Go east along the alley and you will soon reach Zhao Dengyu Road. Enter Xisi Beisi Tiao and continue east to Xisi Street, then turn south... and finally stop at Xiaotangfang Hutong. The two of them held the brakes, supported themselves with one foot, and looked into the alley. Ning Wei said: "Third brother, their house is inside." Ning Weidong took a look inside and said, "Go and call him out."
Ning Wei responded, got out of the car, and walked into the alley alone. After a while, two figures came out of the alley. Ning Wei returned to his bicycle without saying anything. The other man looked at Ning Weidong warily, but didn't get too close. He asked from a few steps away, "Are you looking for me?" Ning Weidong smiled, raised his chin and said, "Why are you standing so far away? If you stand there, I can't hit you." The man's mouth twitched, and he took two steps forward tactfully and said, "I heard from Ning Wei that you are now a leader in the Red Star Factory, so you should stop bothering with small people like us. Besides, you were the one who hit me last time, and I didn't even touch your hair." Ning Weidong said: "What are you afraid of~ You said you were the one who got beaten, why would I bother you?" The man was even more puzzled. It was Zhou Wu who was knocked down by Ning Weidong last time and experienced a baby-like sleep. At this time, Zhou Wu couldn't help but look at Ning Wei who was expressionless next to him. He knew Ning Wei, but they were not very familiar with each other. He turned to look at Ning Weidong: "So what are you doing..." The last time they met, he deeply realized how powerful Ning Weidong was. Ning Weidong said: "You are familiar with this area, find a place where you can talk." Zhou Wu didn't expect Ning Weidong to ask him to find a place, and he didn't react for a moment. Ning Wei was lifted to the side and kicked him in the butt with his leg. Zhou Wu screamed “Fuck!” and staggered, almost falling flat on his face. Ning Wei said angrily: "Why are you so sissy? When Third Brother asked you to find a place, you were quick." Zhou Wu rubbed his lower back. If it were someone else, or if it was in the past, he would have been angry with Ning Wei if this brat dared to do this. But now, he didn't dare to act rashly in front of Ning Weidong. He wondered what Ning Weidong wanted to talk to him about, but he didn't dare to delay and left the alley immediately. There is a small restaurant with lights on not far away. It's not too late yet, and there are quite a few customers drinking in the restaurant. After the three of them went in, everyone inside knew Zhou Wu and greeted him with a smile. Zhou Wu nodded in response, and came inside and said to a middle-aged man in his forties: "Sixth uncle, I'll take my friend to the inner room to sit for a while." The middle-aged man glanced at Ning Weidong and Ning Wei, and said, "Go, go~" Zhou Wu said "Oh" and said, "Then you go ahead and do your work." Then he gestured to Ning Weidong, "Please." The three of them entered the back of the restaurant. The front is the store and the back is the owner's place. It was a small bedroom, not very big, with a kang inside. The kang was heated by the fire from the restaurant outside, and the room was warm. Zhou Wu said to Ning Weidong: "Please sit down first. I'll get you a glass of water." Ning Weidong sat down on the edge of the kang and said, "No need, let's talk business, it won't be long." Zhou Wu licked his lips, smiled dryly, and sat down, asking, "Well, what do you want me to do?"
Ning Weidong did not answer but asked: "Xiao Wu, is it okay for me to call you that?" Zhou Wu said hurriedly: "No problem, absolutely no problem, call me." Ning Weidong smiled and said, "Xiao Wu, I heard that you have a girlfriend named..." Then he looked at Ning Wei. Ning Wei quickly replied, "Her name is Hao Xiuying, and she works at the zipper factory." He had found out all this through investigation. Ning Weidong said: "Yes, Hao Xiuying, look at my memory." He turned and looked at Zhou Wu. Zhou Wu's face looked a little ugly and he forced a dry laugh. Ning Weidong added, "Xiao Wu, don't think too much. I don't mean anything else. I just heard that you came to propose marriage, but the Hao family kicked you out, and your two brothers-in-law almost beat you up. Is that true?" Zhou Wu's mouth twitched. As the saying goes, don't say bad words in front of others. But the guy in front of him is just like that. He just pokes people in the lungs, but he doesn't dare to turn against him. The skills he was so proud of were nothing in front of Ning Weidong, and the so-called gangsters he could use to scare people had no deterrent effect on Ning Weidong. In fact, no matter how domineering people like Zhou Wu appear on the surface, they are actually quite inferior in their hearts. In the current evaluation system, people like them are the lowest. This is also why he was kicked out when he came to the house. As soon as the girl mentioned him, she said that he was not a decent person and sentenced him to death. No family would be willing to marry their daughter to someone like him. Ning Weidong's words were like peeling off his face and stepping on it. Zhou Wu didn't understand why Ning Weidong did this. It can be said that there is no deep hatred between the two of them. Even if there was a conflict last time, Zhou Wu was at a disadvantage. And the matter was settled afterwards. Zhou Wu did not retaliate and Ning Weidong did not mention it. Why did Ning Weidong come to him again after such a long time? Although Zhou Wu was a warrior, he was not stupid. In fact, he was very smart. Although he was angry at the moment, he did not vent it. Instead, he laughed dryly and said, "Brother Ning, you are joking..." Ning Weidong didn't wait for him to continue, his lips curled slightly, and he chuckled: "Do you think our men are looking for you today just to make fun of you? We don't have the time to spare. What about that girl from the Hao family? Have you given up? Do you still want to marry her?" Zhou Wu was stunned and didn't understand what Ning Weidong meant. Ning Weidong continued, "I heard that you got into someone's bed and you're really going to get pregnant... Tsk tsk, the spit of those old ladies in the alley might drown me." Zhou Wumo's eyes lit up as he realized what was happening: "Brother Ning! You are my brother, please show me a way forward." Zhou Wu reacted quickly, and by this point he had already understood some of the clues. Ning Weidong didn't ask him to come here to do anything to him, but to use him. The reward is to help him solve the problems at the Hao family so that he can marry the eldest girl of the Hao family smoothly.
If it was something else, he would still have to consider it, but when it came to getting married, Zhou Wu couldn't care less. Ning Weidong smiled: "Go find Xiaowei tomorrow morning..." Zhou Wu looked at Ning Wei. Ning Weidong continued, "Go to the factory with Xiaowei. I'll give you a spot in the factory protection team. You'll follow Xiaowei from now on." Zhou Wu couldn't believe it and didn't react for a moment. He knew the Red Star Factory's guard team. Although it was a large collective, the salary was not low, nearly twenty yuan a month. None of this matters. What matters is that you speak out in a decent manner! When asked where he worked, he said: Red Star Factory, Security Department. Why did the Hao family oppose him dating Hao Xiuying? Isn't it because they look down on his status? Although he was not treated unfairly under Zhang Jinfa's leadership, he earned a lot of money on a monthly basis. But in name, he was just a street urchin, a reserve player for the cannon game. There is a world of difference between them and the workers in large state-owned factories. Zhou Wu could imagine that as long as he became a worker at the Red Star Factory, the Hao family's attitude would definitely change 180 degrees. But after the excitement, he also calmed down. Ning Weidong is not a good man, and he is not Ning Weidong's biological son. It is impossible for him to give him such a big benefit for no reason. Zhou Wu suppressed his excitement and said, "Brother Ning, what do you want me to do?" Ning Weidong patted his shoulder: "Don't worry, it won't be a difficult task for you..." He lowered his voice slightly and repeated it in Zhou Wu's ear. As Zhou Wu listened, his expression changed. After Ning Weidong finished speaking, he gritted his teeth and nodded: "Brother Ning, don't worry, I promise to do this properly for you. However, the person who does it..." Ning Weidong said, "Don't worry, I will make arrangements. I will make sure he comes out in half a year at most." After that, he gave Ning Wei a look and continued, "There is no time to lose. Take Xiaowei tonight to confirm the person for me. Give him a deposit of 500 yuan first." Ning Wei had a blank expression on his face. He took out a stack of big unity banknotes from the inner pocket of his coat and handed them to Zhou Wu. This money was not for Zhou Wu, but for him to do something. Ning Weidong continued: "Tomorrow morning, you will go to the factory together to handle the formalities." Although there are still variables on Wang Kaifeng's side, the work adjustments of Li Peihang and Ning Weidong have been approved at the factory meeting. Ning Weidong took over the power originally left by Li Peihang, and it was not difficult for him to get someone into the factory in the name of the factory protection team. …… The next day, Ning Weidong arrived at the unit on time. Li Peihang’s office was cleaned up yesterday and now belongs to Ning Weidong.
The furniture in the office was still as it was before, only Li Peihang's personal belongings were packed away. Ning Weidong came into the room and sat behind the desk. The chair under his butt was a bit hard. The desk in front of him was bare with only a black telephone. But at this moment, the phone suddenly rang. Ning Weidong thought it was Ning Wei calling to report to him what happened last night. Unexpectedly, when I picked up the phone, it was Section Chief Chen who said, "Leader, Comrade Chu Zhongxin from the Municipal Bureau just called you and called me..." The last time Chu Zhongxin looked for Ning Weidong, he called the phone in that room. Ning Weidong frowned, guessing that Chu Zhongxin must have received the second wave of pressure from Wang Guoqiang. Last time, Chu Zhongxin was able to withstand the pressure from Director Xu, but this time the Wang and Zhao families have already withdrawn their troops, so it is not realistic to count on Chu Zhongxin anymore. Ning Weidong picked up the phone and dialed. After a while, the phone was connected: "Hello, Fourth Brother, are you looking for me?" Chu Zhongxin didn't speak immediately on the other end of the phone. He was silent for two seconds and sighed, "Weidong, Yuzhen called me just now and said you still want to fight for it?"
