Chapter 100: Struggle, must struggle!

Chapter 100 Struggle, must struggle! After listening to Ning Weidong's explanation of the situation, Ning Weiguo fell into deep thought with a serious expression. Ning Weidong did not rush to interrupt. He had no need and could not interfere with Ning Weiguo's judgment. In fact, at this time, Ning Weiguo is the more important and critical weight. It is necessary to prioritize Ning Weiguo's safety rather than rashly drag him into the water. For Ning Weidong, as long as Ning Weiguo remains stable and there are no problems, even if he loses this time, there will be opportunities in the future. But if Ning Weiguo was dragged into the water and caused irreparable negative impact, it would be tantamount to blocking one's own retreat. Therefore, although Ning Weidong came in a hurry, he was not in a hurry at this time. Ning Weiguo stood up, lit a cigarette and paced back and forth in the office. His brain was working frantically at this moment. Assess and assess the current situation. After a while, he finished his cigarette and almost burned his fingers. He stabbed the cigarette butt into the ashtray and said in a deep voice: "Weidong, we can't admit this!"

Ning Weidong breathed a sigh of relief. The reason why he came here in such a hurry was that he was determined to fight. We must fight! There is no way out if we just give in. But if we can't get support from Ning Weiguo, the follow-up will be quite passive and difficult. Fortunately, his elder brother Ning Weiguo did not let him down. "Brother!" Ning Weidong shouted. Ning Weiguo raised his hand to signal him not to speak, and said in a deep voice: "Weidong, your analysis just now is correct. The root of this matter is that some people don't like the marriage between the Wang family and the Zhao family. But if we want to break the situation, we can't focus on the overall situation. That is not something we can pry open now..." Ning Weidong nodded secretly. Ning Weiguo is worthy of being the son-in-law chosen by the Wang family. He is definitely scheming, capable and has vision. Ning Weiguo continued, "In war, soldiers fight against soldiers, and generals fight against generals. If we want to fight back, we have to find a breakthrough point..." Ning Weidong narrowed his eyes slightly. Ning Weiguo and he were thinking the same thing. The two looked at each other and said a name in unison: "Wang Kaifeng!" Ning Weiguo nodded, smiled, and walked up to pat Ning Weidong on the shoulder. Ultimately, matters within the factory must be resolved within the factory. When you encounter any problem, you can only solve it if you find the key. The key to this problem lies with Wang Kaifeng. Again, no matter what the other party is here for, when it comes to specific events, they must be carried out by specific people. And this time, in the Red Star Factory, the only person who could carry out the plan against Ning Weidong was Wang Kaifeng. What Ning Weidong had to do was very simple, which was to aim at Wang Kaifeng and launch a counterattack. If you cut off the black hand holding the knife, the opponent's conspiracy will naturally fail. Ning Weiguo's role is to be outside the court, blocking the opponent's interference outside the plate at critical moments.

After the two brothers expressed their opinions to each other, Ning Weiguo patted Ning Weidong on the shoulder again and encouraged him: "Weidong, the so-called crisis, danger contains opportunities. This time is an opportunity for you. As long as you can get through it, the clouds will clear and the fog will dissipate. By then, no one in the Wang family or the Zhao family will dare to look down on you..." Ning Weidong is a seasoned veteran and of course understands the logic behind this. Respect is always earned through fighting. Only through struggle and victory can you win respect. Nodding, he said, "Brother, don't worry, I'll let you see my skills this time!" Ning Weiguo smiled and said, "Any other specific requests? I'll try to help you coordinate." Ning Weidong had already weighed the pros and cons in his mind, and had thought it through on the way here, and immediately said: "Brother, find a way to get Ning Wei to the factory for me. I don't have anyone I can trust in the factory." Ning Weiguo nodded and agreed without thinking. Ning Weidong didn't ask much. As for who Ning Weiguo used connections with and what pretext he used to get Ning Wei into the Red Star Factory, it was all his business. The only thing Ning Weidong needs to consider now is how to face his opponent Wang Kaifeng. Wang Kaifeng is the hand that Wang Guoqiang extends in the factory, and his function is the same as that of Li Peihang to Li Weibing. Especially in the past few years, when the situation was not so stable, how could Li Weibing be as stable as a rock in the Red Star Factory? It relies on the control over the Security Department and more than a thousand militiamen in the factory. Only now, the situation has changed, and the way of struggle has become milder and more subtle. After making the decision with Ning Weiguo, Ning Weidong didn't stay here for long and went downstairs directly. After he left, Ning Weiguo immediately picked up the phone and dialed: "Hello, Brother Wang, this is Weiguo... Dad, this is Weiguo, I have important information to report to you in person..." …… On the other hand, Ning Weidong left the Machinery Bureau and went straight to Ning Wei's house. At the same time, I was riding my bike while thinking about my next plan. To put it bluntly, the struggle is to make our people more numerous and the enemy's people fewer. Now, Ning Weidong has made his target clear, and the enemy in front of him is Wang Kaifeng. There is no personal grudge involved, it’s just that Wang Kaifeng is the executor of the other party’s plan. For Ning Weidong, it was a knife stabbed by the enemy and he had to knock it away. As for what Wang Kaifeng was thinking, he had no choice but to do so. No matter what difficulties he had, it had nothing to do with Ning Weidong. In order to achieve this goal, the first ally Ning Weidong wanted to unite was Li Weibing's faction. Although Li Weibing and Wang Guoqiang had reached a deal before and agreed to let Ning Weidong go to workshop 4, it was equivalent to selling Ning Weidong. Li Weibing's uncle and nephew did not act in a decent way in this matter, but under such circumstances and at this time, in order to deal with Wang Kaifeng, they must continue to unite with Li Weibing's faction. Faced with a complex struggle situation, we must put aside emotional interference and distinguish clearly who is the main enemy and who is the secondary enemy. Unite all forces that can be united to eliminate the main enemy first. As for the rest...

After the principal contradiction is resolved, the secondary contradiction will become the principal contradiction. Ning Weidong treated Li Weibing with the same attitude. We can settle any accounts after we kill Wang Kaifeng. He is quite vindictive. After the last transaction between Li and Wang, Chu Chengfu from Workshop 1 became the deputy director, and Ning Weidong went to Workshop 4. Even if this transaction is completed, Li Weibing and Wang Guoqiang will still be in an antagonistic relationship, and this will not change because of this transaction. On the contrary, from Li Peihang's personal perspective, he would rather see Ning Weidong defeat Wang Kaifeng. This is a prerequisite for Ning Weidong to borrow Li's energy in the factory. …… A moment later, Ning Weidong slammed the car brake with a "creak" and waited at the door of Ning Wei's house. "Xiao Wei~" He called Ning Wei's name as he walked in. Ning Wei was in the room. When he heard Ning Weidong's voice, he immediately pushed the door open and said, "Third brother, why are you here?" Behind him, Ning Wei's mother asked, "Is Weidong here?" Ning Weidong entered the room and said with a smile, "Sixth Aunt, I have good news." Ning Wei and his mother were both stunned in the room. Ning Weidong continued, "Sixth Aunt, Xiaowei is already grown up, and it's not good for him to stay at home all the time. I asked my brother to think of a way to come to our factory to work." Ning Wei's mother was surprised and delighted: "Weidong, this is true!" He has always been worried about his youngest son. The eldest son is gone, and now only the youngest son is left. He is also a brave and troublesome person. I originally wanted to send him to the army when he reached the age, but I was worried that he was too far away from home and kept hesitating. I didn't expect Ning Weidong to quietly send Ning Wei to the Red Star Factory! Although I know it is unlikely to be a state-owned enterprise, but even if it is a temporary worker, it is still a job! Everyone knows how difficult it is to find a job in Beijing nowadays. The old lady immediately thanked him profusely, but Ning Wei was calmer. He was slightly excited, but soon realized that it would definitely be useful if Ning Weidong got him to the factory. After staying in the house for a while, Ning Wei and Ning Weidong came out and found a place where no one was. Ning Weidong took out a cigarette and gave one to Ning Wei. Ning Wei took a deep breath and asked, "Third brother, what happened? Is it that Deputy Director Liu..." Ning Weidong found out that there was something wrong with Deputy Director Liu and asked them to withdraw. However, Ning Wei felt that this matter was not over yet. This time Ning Weidong actually wanted to bring him directly to the factory. The price to pay would not be small. Ning Weidong waved his hand: "It has nothing to do with that, it's another matter..."

Ning Weidong then picked out what he could say and explained the current situation. Finally, he said, "Xiao Wei, this time I'm going to the fourth workshop to be the security officer. It's obviously a trap set by others, but we have to jump into it. I don't have anyone else around me, so it's up to you." Ning Wei immediately said: "Third brother, don't worry, even if it's a hail of bullets, I will stand in front of you!" Ning Weidong patted Ning Wei on the shoulder. This was exactly what he wanted to hear. In fact, this time when he proposed that Ning Weiguo bring Ning Wei to the factory, his purpose was not simply to get a useful person. Another purpose is to use Ning Wei to set up a firewall. If it really comes to the end and nothing can be done, let Ning Wei take the initiative to fill the hole. As for Ning Wei, he did not lose out either. Ning Weidong would definitely not treat him unfairly. Besides, this job was for free. Even if he was blamed, he would just be fired. At that time, just a little operation will not leave any traces in the files. …… I made an appointment with Ning Wei and asked him to report to the factory early tomorrow morning. Although he had just told Ning Weiguo, Ning Weidong believed that this was enough for one night. After parting with Ning Wei, Ning Weidong looked at his watch. It was almost five o'clock. He didn't go back to the factory. He took a deep breath and rode his bike home. After learning about the situation from Li Peihang this afternoon, Ning Weidong's brain was working at high speed for more than three hours. Even with his physical condition, he felt a little tired. Have a good rest tonight because we will start fighting tomorrow. After a while, we returned to the slum. There are still more than ten minutes to five o'clock. At this time, most people have not yet finished get off work, and each family in the courtyard has already started busy cooking. As soon as Ning Weidong pushed the cart into the yard, he was seen by many people. Some of them started to talk to him and asked why he came back so early today. Ning Weidong laughed it off and said he was doing something outside and came back directly. It attracted many people to nod in envy. Don’t underestimate the fact that he came back a little early, this is a real talent. The entire compound, with its front, back and cross yards, is home to more than 30 households and more than a hundred people. Many of them go to work, but how many of them can leave work early? When Ning Weidong pushed his bicycle into the courtyard, people behind him were still talking: "Hey, you say, Ning Weidong has made a name for himself in the factory!" "Who says it's not~"

"Where can I go to seek justice?" …… Ning Weidong ignored those discussions. The neighbors in the slum really did help each other. But it is normal for ordinary people in the market to flatter the powerful and look down on the weak, and to bully the weak and flatter the strong. Go back to the courtyard and park your bike. Ning Weiguo and Wang Yuzhen haven't come back yet. Ning Weidong glanced at Bai Fengyu's house and decided to go there first. He pushed the door open and called out. Bai Fengyu was sewing. She stood up when she heard the door open. Seeing Ning Weidong coming in, she didn't know what she was thinking about. A blush appeared on her face. She lowered her head and said, "Why are you here now?" Ning Weidong was speechless, and went over to pat her butt: "What are you thinking about~ There is something important~" Bai Fengyu's face turned even redder. What happened last night made her feel dazed the whole day, with images appearing in her mind from time to time. But she had tasted the sweetness of it, and she had never thought that things between men and women could be like this. The only worry is that in the middle of winter, I don’t know where to dry the dirty, wet mattress. Ning Weidong said: "Your job has been settled." Bai Fengyu was stunned for a moment, then she said in surprise and joy: "Really!" Ning Weidong smiled and said, "How can I still scare you? Bring your ID to the street women's office tomorrow to find Director Yu..." After listening to Wan Ning Weidong's detailed explanation, Bai Fengyu couldn't help but feel her heart beating faster. From tomorrow on, she would also have a job! Although the wages of temporary workers on the street are not much, it is a stable and real income. "Thank you! Weidong, thank you!" Bai Fengyu was speechless and hugged Ning Weidong and kissed him madly. Ning Weidong chuckled, and without even thinking, his hand easily slipped into his collar. The two big balls inside are really fun to play with. This made Bai Fengyu so angry that she almost went to the inner room. Ning Weidong didn't want to consume extra energy at this time, and the time was not right. Bai Fengqin had something to do yesterday, so she went back to her original home and came back today. Ning Weidong stopped playing with the ball for a while and went to the earthquake shelter first after leaving Bai's house. I took out an old notebook and started writing and drawing, planning my next steps. Although he already had a rough outline in his mind, some things still had to be put on paper. Human memory is sometimes very deceptive. Things that you think you remember very firmly may not be that reliable, and you may forget them at the critical moment.

Looking back, I feel so regretful. However, there is a disadvantage in writing it down, which is that if it is not handled properly, it may be seen by others. Fortunately, Ning Weidong has little influence now, so there is no need to worry too much. One by one, one by one, Ning Weidong wrote down his thoughts, occasionally crossing out, deleting, or adding annotations. In just less than half an hour, I wrote two large and messy articles. All ready, just waiting for tomorrow. (End of this chapter)
