Chapter 101: A show of force The next morning, Ning Weidong arrived at work early. The decision made in the factory yesterday will be issued today. If nothing unexpected happens, Ning Wei will be placed in place. Ning Weidong was the first to arrive today. He did not go to get some water as usual, but just sat quietly at his desk. After a while, Section Chief Chen came in from outside. He was stunned for a moment when he saw him, then smiled: "Weidong, you came so early today!" Ning Weidong smiled, responded, and didn't say much. After a while, Wen Aiying and Feng Wen came over one after another. Feng Wen knew some of the situation in advance and saw a strange look flash in Ning Weidong's eyes, but he didn't say much. It was not until half past eight that Li Peihang came personally to call Ning Weidong away.

Ning Weidong responded and followed him to Li Peihang's office with an expressionless face. When he got into the house, Li Peihang looked embarrassed: "Weidong, the documents from the factory have been sent down..." Ning Weidong nodded and said, "Brother Li, I understand that you have your difficulties. Since this is the organization's decision, I will resolutely obey the arrangement." Li Peihang was stunned for a moment. In fact, after he talked with Ning Weidong yesterday, he estimated that Ning Weidong might choose to retreat in the face of pressure. After all, applying for sick leave for personal reasons is undoubtedly safer, and can avoid being caught up in the vortex of Workshop 4. Although it is a bit embarrassing, it is actually understandable to make this choice at this time. I didn't expect Ning Weidong to choose hard steel. After being stunned for a moment, Li Peihang felt complicated. To be honest, he admired Ning Weidong's courage, but from a rational point of view, he did not agree with this. Why did you step into it when you knew it was a trap set by the enemy? Was it just to vent your anger? Ning Weidong didn’t know what Li Peihang was thinking. If he knew, he would just chuckle. No wonder Li Peihang had the advantage of home court at the Red Star Factory. He was always at a disadvantage when facing Wang Kaifeng brought by Wang Guoqiang. It's because he doesn't have the determination and courage to fight to the death at the critical moment. If you feel you can take a step back today, and if the situation becomes serious tomorrow, you can take another step back. Li Peihang sighed and said, "Okay, Weidong, since this is your choice... I will take you there now." Ning Weidong nodded and said nothing more. Because it would be useless to say anything now, Li Peihang or Li Weibing had already determined that he went to workshop 4 to deliver vegetables. What else can I say to a 'dead man' except to admire his courage? Next, only by letting them see that they are not committing suicide but have hope of victory, will they change their minds and realize that there is an opportunity to take advantage of.

Only then could Ning Weidong obtain the power of the Li family. Coming out of the factory office, Workshop 4 is at the innermost part of the factory area, and further east is the railway line that leads directly to the factory. Although this place looks similar to other workshops on the surface, the level of security inside is different. In addition to the security team sent by the factory, there are three military representatives, one chief and two deputy chiefs. If there are important projects, people will be temporarily transferred. Including the time when the original owner entered the factory, Ning Weidong has been in the factory for more than a year, but this is his first time to come to workshop four. From a distance, you can see a workshop with a strong Sulian Heavy Industry style standing there. The main building is made of red bricks, and on the front lintel is a huge sickle and axe embossed in cement. The front of the workshop is quite heavy and was originally painted with blue anti-rust paint, but due to the passage of time, the surface is a bit mottled. From outside the workshop, you can hear the rumbling sound of machines running inside. Li Peihang and Ning Weidong did not enter the workshop, but came to a small attached house next to it. This is the duty room of the security team of Workshop 4. The whole team consists of five people, one security officer and four team members. When Ning Weidong and Li Peihang came over, the door of the duty room was open and a man was standing next to it, smoking with his neck hunched. Seeing Li Peihang was stunned, he immediately came up to him with a smile and said, "Hey, Chief Li, why are you here so early in the morning?" Li Peihang glanced at him and said expressionlessly: "Where are the others?" The man's eyes flickered as he said, "Well, Lao Liu and Lao Xia went out on patrol early this morning, and Xiao Liu is in the house. If you have anything to say, I'll ask Lao Liu and the others to go now." Li Peihang frowned, knowing what a shitty patrol it was, those two guys must have been slacking off during working hours. But this was not his business, and he was too lazy to pursue it. He said impatiently, "Hurry up and go." The man let out an "Ah" and ran away quickly. Li Peihang turned around and gave Ning Weidong a meaningful look, the meaning was very clear. It's such a horrible situation here, and you still think you can get away with it? Ning Weidong frowned. He didn't expect the security team of Workshop 4 to be so rotten. I originally thought that no matter how confidential the matter was, the necessary foundation should be there. But on second thought, it doesn't seem like a big deal. As the old saying goes, it takes ten years to learn good things and ten days to learn bad things. Since 1978, some trends have become increasingly worse. Moreover, in the past two years, Red Star Factory has not received any major related projects. Then the two of them entered the duty room.

A young man about 24 or 25 was sweeping the floor inside. He should be the "Xiao Liu" mentioned outside just now. The duty room is connected to the workshop's heater and there are two layers of cotton curtains hanging at the door, so the sound insulation is quite good. Xiao Liu in the room didn't hear the conversation outside just now. He was stunned for a moment before he recognized Li Peihang, then saw Ning Weidong. He didn't know what was going on and didn't dare to say anything. It was almost twenty minutes later that the man who had gone out to look for someone came back with the other two. "Chief Li, you are very busy, how come you have time to come to me?" The leader was a tall and strong man in his thirties with a cigarette in his mouth. Although he spoke politely, it was clear from his eyes and attitude that he had no respect for Li Peihang. Ning Weidong was watching from the side and knew that this person was most likely from Wang Guoqiang's side. It seems that he is the one who has the final say among these four people. Ning Weidong had already made up his mind that this person must be cleared out, one to eliminate the hidden danger, and the other to make an example of him. Li Peihang also knew what was going on, and said expressionlessly: "I came here today for one thing. The night before yesterday, Officer Wang from Workshop 4 was injured and hospitalized. After a meeting at the factory, it was decided that Comrade Ning Weidong would take over as the leader of the Workshop 4 security team." The people present were stunned and couldn't help but look at the man who had just spoken. The man narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of ferocity flashed in his pupils, and he looked at Ning Weidong with ill intentions. Unlike the others, this man was not surprised. He seemed to have known about this situation for a long time. He said, "Chief Li, since it is the factory's decision, we will definitely support it. But Workshop 4 can't just come as we wish." As he spoke, he grinned, looked at Ning Weidong with a half-smile, and took the initiative to stretch out his hand and said: "Comrade, are you Ning Weidong? My name is Liu Wenbao..." Ning Weidong looked at the strong hand stretched out in front of him with a playful expression. Liu Wenbao is less than meters tall, not as tall as Ning Weidong, but he is very strong, with broad and flat shoulders, and arms that are thicker than the average person's legs. In this era of general nutritional deficiency, it is not easy to grow such a physique. Ning Weidong could see that he came with ill intentions and was trying to show his power. Ning Weidong's prestige was completely destroyed on his first day. "Comrade Liu Wenbao, hello~" Ning Weidong smiled and stretched out his hand to shake hands with the other party. Sure enough, I immediately felt a huge force coming from the other party's palm. Liu Wenbao had a ferocious look on his face and he used all his strength as if he wanted to crush Ning Weidong's hand. Although this behavior may seem childish, it is very useful among low-level workers. These people have little culture and believe in simple brute force and violence. Ning Weidong happens to be violent, and the easiest way to deal with such a person is to fight violence with violence. "Chief, you see, Comrade Liu is still quite enthusiastic." Ning Weidong smiled and turned his head to talk to Li Peihang while he started to work hard. It is true that Liu Wenbao is very strong, but it depends on who you are comparing with. He can only blame himself for his bad luck in meeting this pervert Ning Weidong. Ning Weidong exerted a little force and Liu Wenbao's face suddenly turned red. Then the corners of his mouth twitched and he couldn't help showing his painful expression.

He couldn't understand. Although Ning Weidong looked strong, his strength was too exaggerated. Liu Wenbao was aware of how much strength he had in his hands, and knew that he had hit a tough target, so he quickly tried to pull his hand back. Since I can’t slap you in the face today, I’ll find another opportunity later. Anyway, Deputy Director Wang has already promised him that as long as he helps get rid of Ning Weidong, he will be made a cadre. Ning Weidong had no intention of letting him go, and continued to increase his strength with a smile on his face. Liu Wenbao endured it at first because he didn't want to lose face. But as his strength grew, the tendons and bones in his hands became more and more painful. He could no longer bear it and shouted "Let go, let go", and desperately shook his hands to try to pull them free, but he was unable to break free. Finally, with a fierce look on his face, he simply raised his hand and punched Ning Weidong in the face. This is what Ning Weidong was waiting for, he just didn't take action. But if he was going to take action, he would do it ruthlessly. Several people present, including Li Peihang, did not expect things to turn out this way. Before he could react, he noticed something was wrong, and Liu Wenbao had already taken action. Ning Weidong, however, arrived first and kicked the opponent's shin in the front. Needless to say how painful it is to be kicked here, and this is because Ning Weidong held back his strength, otherwise his bone would have been broken on the spot. Liu Wenbao screamed, and soon after, Ning Weidong's other hand reached his vagina. As expected, with a snap, Liu Wenbao's head tilted and he fell to the ground like a noodle. The howling sound stopped abruptly, and the entire duty room fell into silence. The other three looked confused and looked at Ning Weidong with more fear in their eyes. You know, Liu Wenbao's fighting ability is well-known throughout the security department. In addition to his extraordinary talent and instruction from famous teachers, he is also extremely ruthless and no one dares to provoke him easily. Unexpectedly, the new guy was even more ruthless and knocked him down with just one big pussy. Li Peihang also widened his eyes. He had looked at Ning Weidong's physique before and thought that he might have good fighting ability, but this was too exaggerated. He actually defeated Liu Wenbao in one second! Usually he was a little scared of Liu Wenbao, this hot-tempered guy, but when he got really angry, he didn't care whether he was the section chief or not. He is porcelain, and it cannot touch a clay jar. If he gets himself covered in dirt, it will be embarrassing even if he kills Liu Wenbao in the end. At this time, Li Peihang saw Ning Weidong's determination, and couldn't help but frowned, feeling a little headache. He suddenly had a feeling that maybe bringing Ning Weidong to Workshop 4 might not be a dead end. Instead, it might be that Wang Kaifeng was shooting himself in the foot. However, as soon as this thought flashed through his mind, he extinguished it. How can it be! Ning Weidong is a man of iron who can only hammer a few nails, but coming to Workshop 4 is like falling into a pit. Even if he climbs out, he will be covered in mud. On the contrary, Ning Weidong knocking Liu Wenbao unconscious at this time was too insignificant in the overall situation.

"Old Xia, Liu Wenbao fell down by himself. Take him to the infirmary. If he is not well, send him to the hospital. Don't make a big deal out of it." Li Peihang gave the order calmly and casually determined that Liu Wenbao was in a coma. Although half of his face was swollen and it didn't look like he fell, but since everyone said it was his, then he must have fallen. Li Peihang wanted to sell it well, but after he finished speaking, no one else had any objection, but Ning Weidong said, "Wait a minute." Li Peihang was stunned and didn't understand what Ning Weidong meant. Old Xia, who was about to help Liu Wenbao, and the other two were also stunned. Ning Weidong had a blank expression on his face, and did not say a word in the face of Li Peihang's inquiring eyes. He took two steps forward and leaned in front of Liu Wenbao, took out a folded stack of Big Unity notes from his pocket, and stuffed it into Liu Wenbao's pocket under the gaze of several people. Now everyone was confused. Ning Weidong took out a lot of money, and it looked like it was almost two hundred yuan. What does this mean? Did they feel that they had dealt too harsh a blow and were planning to pay the money and settle the matter peacefully? Only Li Peihang felt that it was not that simple. If Ning Weidong only had this much courage, he would just give in and take a long sick leave instead of coming here. Sure enough, Ning Weidong stood up and looked at Li Peihang, smiling and said, "Brother Li, I lost two hundred yuan just now, and I suspect he stole it. Please call someone over and search him." The person he was pointing at was Liu Wenbao who was lying unconscious on the ground. Li Peihang's mouth twitched wildly, thinking, my brother! Are we so blatant? Do I need to search for it? I saw you put it in with my own eyes just now. As for whether it is 200 yuan, you said so, so it must be correct. The other three people present were so scared at this moment. This time it was not as simple as a slap in the face, but a plan to kill Liu Wenbao. Stealing two hundred dollars, what does that mean! If it is really true, not only will I lose my job, but I will also end up in jail. Originally they thought Liu Wenbao was ruthless enough, and even made the injured Secretary Wang obedient. Now it seems that this new officer Ning is really ruthless! A "gulp" sound, as if someone swallowed, broke the silent atmosphere. "This..." Li Peihang was a little hesitant. He understood what Ning Weidong meant, but would there be any consequences for doing so? Ning Weidong sneered in his heart. Li Peihang was always hesitant and was definitely not the type to accomplish big things. If his uncle wasn't there, he wouldn't be able to compete with Wang Kaifeng, let alone become the section chief. Ning Weidong said in a deep voice: "Brother Li, it was Director Li's idea to ask me to come here!" Li Peihang's heart trembled. Although he lacked courage, he had gained a lot of experience through learning from others over the years. Ning Weidong particularly emphasized the three words "Director Li" to remind him that it was Li Weibing who was at fault this time, and it was unacceptable that he couldn't even take responsibility for such a small matter.
