Chapter 106: One of me and Wang Kaifeng must die

Chapter 106: One of me and Wang Kaifeng must die ( words long chapter, please subscribe) At the same time Wang Guoqiang received the call, Li Weibing also received the news. However, he did not receive a phone call, but Li Peihang came to him directly and said it. Li Weibing's expression was a bit complicated. He pursed his lips and stomped back and forth in front of his desk. After a while, he sighed, "Alas! I was a bit careless this time." Li Peihang remained silent. He knew that Li Weibing was referring to giving up Ning Weidong and making a deal with Wang Guoqiang. In fact, he was opposed to this matter from the very beginning. It’s not that Li Peihang has a long-term vision, but he himself does not have a good relationship with Chu Chengfu from the same workshop. In comparison, Ning Weidong is Ning Weiguo's younger brother, and was brought to the factory through Ning Weiguo's connections. It is obvious at a glance how close or distant they are to each other. But there was no way out. Li Weibing had made the decision and no one could say anything about it. It was not until this time that the commotion Ning Weidong caused in Workshop 4 in just two or three days made Li Weibing realize that Ning Weidong was not a pushover.

Li Peihang also had a feeling of sudden enlightenment in his heart. No wonder Ning Weidong dared to go to Workshop 4 when he mentioned it to him. Especially later, using the lost note, it was revealed that the person who sneaked into the fourth workshop might be a Japanese. In his opinion, it was a stroke of genius! It invisibly restricts the opponent and increases one's own justice. It also leaves a foreshadowing for the future. As long as we find a loophole on Deputy Director Wang's side in this matter, we can directly accuse him of colluding with foreigners. Even Wang Guoqiang couldn't bear this big hat. It is because of these thoughts that Li Weibing made such a sigh. If he had not made a deal with Ning Weidong before, such a young man with a good background and means would have become a capable general under his command. Unfortunately, it's too late to say anything now. Li Weibing thought for a while. It was no use thinking about those things now. It would be better to take advantage of the present opportunity to crush Wang Guoqiang's arrogance. Li Weibing said: "Peihang, you must mobilize the best soldiers to Ning Weidong and ask him to defend the fourth workshop as much as possible. As long as he can hold on, the pressure will be on Wang Guoqiang, and when the pressure is too great, people will make mistakes..." Li Peihang nodded, but he disagreed in his heart. As for Workshop 4, it has been like a sieve for a long time. Even if more people are transferred over there at the last minute, it will probably be of no use. What's more, this is not a war. The enemy is fighting outside and we are defending inside. The current situation is that the people assigned by Deputy Director Wang are probably already prepared, and as long as the project is in place, they can start at any time. Thinking of this, Li Peihang became even more curious about what Ning Weidong was thinking. There is no doubt that this time when Ning Weidong arrived at the fourth workshop, he opened up the situation as quickly as possible, won the support of the military representatives, and took the lead from the very beginning, seemingly causing Deputy Director Wang to suffer a loss. But these are all tactical, and Ning Weidong is still very passive in the overall situation. How did this round break? Li Peihang racked his brains but could not figure out a solution. It seemed like a dead end.

It is definitely impossible to defend it. If there is a single loophole, everything will be lost. …… At this moment, Ning Weidong was actually thinking about this issue. Now, the first step of his plan has been completed. He tried his best to gain all the support he could, set up a plan to strengthen his own defense, and at the same time threw a bucket of dirty water on his opponent. But this is far from enough. These are all defenses. At most, they can delay the enemy and make the enemy feel uncomfortable, but they cannot change the overall situation. In order to turn defeat into victory, you must maintain a solid defense while looking for opportunities to counterattack, seize the enemy's weaknesses, and kill them with one blow. Ning Weidong was thinking, specifically in the current situation, who is the enemy's weakness and how to kill him with one blow? The most crucial person is Wang Kaifeng. Wang Kaifeng is Deputy Director Wang's henchman and the embodiment of his authority in the factory. In fact, in the dispute between Wang and Li, the most significant indicator was the fight for the Security Department. The position of director is vacant. Wang Kaifeng, who represents Wang Guoqiang, is the deputy director and holds most of the power, while Li Peihang, who represents Li Weibing, is only a section chief. This is very telling. People are used to changing with the wind. In addition, the plan against Ning Weidong this time was also implemented by Wang Kaifeng. This was exactly the point that Ning Weidong was staring at. Shoot people first, shoot horses, and capture thieves first. Wang Kaifeng was the horse that carried Wang Guoqiang. As long as Ning Weidong could find a way to break through Wang Kaifeng first, it would be equivalent to cutting off Deputy Director Wang's sharpest claw. At that time, Ning Weidong would not need to take any action, Li Peihang would rush forward and bite Wang Kaifeng to death completely. Li Weibing will also seize the opportunity to give Wang Guoqiang a hard blow to let him know who is the king. The question now is how to take down Wang Kaifeng first. We must find Wang Kaifeng's weakness. What is his weakness? This again involves intelligence, which is Ning Weidong's shortcoming. Intelligence is a science, an accumulation, and an investment, and it can never be calculated. Most of the "military advisors" who were said to be so powerful in ancient times had control over a relatively reliable intelligence network. The most typical example was Liu Bowen, who served under Zhu Yuanzhang. When he defected to Zhu Yuanzhang, he already had a huge intelligence network in Jiangnan. It’s just that most of these intelligence sources are not publicly available, so they are covered up by pretending to be metaphysical or someone who can tell fortunes. Ning Weidong wants to obtain important information about Wang Kaifeng and also needs to find such a person.

Not only in the Red Star Factory, but in almost every unit there is one person who knows all the overt and covert matters like the back of his hand. Li Peihang must know this person, but Ning Weidong has no intention of looking for Li Peihang. Instead, he had to look for another person, his future brother-in-law - Zhao Lichun. As for why it was Zhao Lichun, it was not a decision he made on a whim, but rather he considered many factors. With a family background like the Zhao family, placing Zhao Ruyu in the Red Star Factory was definitely not a casual decision. Since Zhao Ruyu is here, it means that the Zhao family has made arrangements in the Red Star Factory. On the contrary, the Wang family's focus is not here, and they have almost no influence in the Red Star Factory. They rely entirely on the indirect influence of Li Weibing and Li Peihang. Moreover, the fact that Ning Weidong was targeted this time was not Ning Weidong’s own business, nor was it the Wang family’s business. Why should the Zhao family stand outside the circle and keep themselves out of trouble? Ning Weidong didn't approach the Zhao family before because he wanted to show his strength first and let the Zhao family know that he was not a pushover. Even if the Zhao family is not there, we can still deal with the enemy and avoid being looked down upon. Now, after a series of operations over the past two days, this goal has been achieved. It's time to see the Zhao family's attitude. After making up his mind, Ning Weidong picked up the phone and dialed the internal line to the factory office: "Hello, hello, I'm looking for Comrade Zhao Ruyi." Because it was a call from the big office, Ning Weidong spoke very politely. Unexpectedly, there was a "pop" sound on the other end of the phone, and it turned out to be Zhao Ruyi who answered the phone, and deliberately spoke in a strange tone: "I am Comrade Zhao Ruyi, may I ask what can I do for you?" Ning Weidong rolled his eyes. Zhao Ruyu sometimes really acted a bit like a Husky. Ning Weidong had just won a game and was in a good mood, so he just chatted with Zhao Ruyu for a long time before getting down to business: "By the way, please contact him. I want to meet with my brother tonight." Zhao Ruyu was stunned and stopped joking. Knowing that Ning Weidong would not look for Zhao Lichun for no reason, he immediately said seriously: "I know, I will call and ask right away, you wait for my reply." After that, he hung up the phone. A middle-aged woman with a plump appearance nearby laughed and joked: "Oh, look at our Xiao Zhao, he was smiling like a flower just now, he really found his ideal son-in-law." Several other old ladies in the office who were familiar with each other also joined in the fun. Zhao Ruyu blushed, somewhat regretting that she had gotten carried away just now. However, the few men in the office, especially the two young ones, who were watching from the sidelines, felt uncomfortable. Zhao Ruyu is beautiful and cheerful in daily life. If you don't know her background, you can easily be deceived by her appearance. In addition, she has an extraordinary family background, so if I could really marry her, I would have to work less for decades. Unfortunately, none of them caught Zhao Ruyu's eye.

Everyone failed before, and we didn’t feel anything. But now that some people have succeeded, we feel differently. Zhao Ruyi didn't know, nor did he care about what these people were thinking, but he didn't forget what Ning Weidong had just said, and quickly dialed the number of Zhao Lichun's office: "Hello, brother, this is Ruyi." Zhao Lichun's gentle and magnetic voice came from the other end of the phone: "What's the matter?" Zhao Ruyi said, "Ning Weidong called me just now and said he wanted to meet you after get off work in the evening. Are you free?" Zhao Lichun was slightly surprised. He didn't expect Ning Weidong to find him so quickly. He responded, "Sure, you arrange it." After hanging up the phone, Zhao Lichun frowned slightly. At this time, he didn't know what had happened at the Red Star Factory last night. But Ning Weidong suddenly came to him, there must have been some changes. "Could it be that he can't hold on so soon?" Zhao Lichun thought to himself, but he felt that it was impossible. If this was really the case, the Wang family would never allow Ning Weidong to do anything wrong. After thinking it over, Zhao Lichun decided not to guess blindly. He picked up the phone and dialed a number: "Hello, Sister Shen, it's Lichun! Our Ruyi has been doing well in the factory recently... Yes, the family arranged for the two young people to meet, and they feel pretty good... His name is Ning Weidong..." After the phone call, Zhao Lichun hung up the receiver with an incredible expression on his face. Just last night, Ning Weidong actually came up with such a big trick. Not only did he bind himself to the military representative stationed in the factory, he also took the opportunity to greatly expand the power in his hands. He also used a piece of sticky paper to make a big hat, held it high in his hand, ready to put it on at any time. It is hard to imagine that such means and such thoughts came from a 21-year-old young man. If Zhao Lichun didn't know the other party well, he would have suspected that there was some expert behind Ning Weidong. After the initial victory, Ning Weidong suddenly came to him. It was definitely not for help, so what was it for? Zhao Lichun couldn't help but become interested. …… That night, Ning Weidong went straight to see Zhao Ruyu after get off work. I was busy most of the night yesterday, and only took a nap in the duty room at almost four o'clock in the morning. Ning Weidong took a nap this afternoon and woke up just before getting off work, feeling a little sleepy. Waiting downstairs in the factory office building. After a while, Zhao Ruyu was seen standing out from the crowd. Both of them were quite conspicuous and saw each other at a glance. Zhao Ruyi accelerated, trotted a few steps, walked up to Ning Weidong and said, "I don't want to ride the bike anymore, you take me." Ning Weidongzi had no objection, but he deliberately patted the saddle of the bicycle and said jokingly: "It seems that I have to save money to buy a new bike quickly, otherwise I am afraid that this bike will not last long." Zhao Ruyi glared at him and said, "Who are you looking down on? The car broke down because of you. Be careful or I'll stab you in the back." Ning Weidong curled his lips and said, "If you ruin it, you'll be widowed and cry."

Zhao Ruyu blushed. No matter how straightforward she was, she was still a virgin. She turned her head away and cursed him as a "hooligan". The two men walked out of the south gate of the factory side by side. Although the news that Zhao Ruyu and Ning Weidong were dating was spread a few days ago, the two still attracted a lot of attention. This pair of golden boy and girl always attract attention when they walk together. When they arrived outside the factory gate, Ning Weidong carried Zhao Ruyu on his back. Erliu's bicycle was a bit small for both of them. Zhao Ruyu didn't sit still when she sat on the bike. Her two long legs swayed from time to time, causing Ning Weidong's handlebars to sway. She was giggling evilly behind him. After doing it several times and still enjoying it, Ning Weidong simply slammed the brakes to stop the car with a "squeak". Zhao Ruyi was stunned: "Why don't you leave?" Ning Weidong said unhappily: "Let's switch, you carry me." Zhao Ruyu widened her eyes and saw that Ning Weidong really got off the bicycle. He was not joking. He muttered, "Virtue, I'll carry you if I want to." He took the handlebars and looked back at Ning Weidong, who was already sitting on the back rack: "Aren't you ashamed to let a girl lead you?" Ning Weidong said indifferently: "Don't be afraid, I'm thick-skinned. Stop talking nonsense and run away~" Then he raised his hand and patted Zhao Ruyu on the butt. Even through the woolen pants and coat, I could still feel the full elasticity. Zhao Ruyu's cheeks flushed, and she glared at him and said, "He's outside!" After finishing the task, he rolled his eyes, held the handlebar of the bicycle with one hand, and with the other hand pulled up the hem of his coat and placed it on the saddle of the bicycle. Then he rode a bike like normal, holding the handlebars with both hands, crossing his legs, putting one foot on the pedal, and tapping the ground with the other foot a few times. The bicycle slid forward, and even with Ning Weidong, a big guy weighing more than 180 pounds, sitting on the back, it was not affected at all! Then Zhao Ruyu swung the leg that was touching the ground backwards. Normally, men like to get on the bike this way, while women who ride diagonal-beam bikes prefer to get on the front. But this only works when there is no one behind you. If you need to lead someone behind you, you have to swing your leg upwards and kick the person down. Zhao Ruyu raised her legs very high, like a dance move, and stepped directly over Ning Weidong's head, and got on the bike steadily. With a push of her two long legs, the bike suddenly accelerated and rushed out. In the wind, Zhao Ruyi's laughter could be heard, along with a sentence: "If you take a few steps, you won't grow taller." Ning Weidong was speechless for a while, but he didn't hesitate to hug Zhao Ruyu's waist from behind. Zhao Ruyu froze, her laughter stopped abruptly, and she warned, "I'm riding a bike! Don't make trouble." What she got in return was Ning Weidong's hand that slipped in through the button seam of her woolen coat, then went inside along the inner hem, and touched her belly with only a layer of shirt between them.

Warm and soft. When Zhao Ruyu pedaled her bicycle, she could feel the muscles moving beneath the subcutaneous fat. Although that layer of fat is not very thick, it is definitely there. Ning Weidong pinched it and said, "You are quite careful about safety. You bring your own swimming ring when you go out." Zhao Ruyu was so angry that she gritted her teeth, but there was nothing she could do. She could only ride her bike angrily. However, she didn't expect Ning Weidong to be moving around inside and even trying to touch her upwards. Her body stiffened, and she stopped immediately, turning back to warn, "Stop it!" Ning Weidong said confidently: "It is natural for me to touch my wife." Zhao Ruyi gritted her teeth and said, "Who is your wife? We haven't even gotten married yet!" Ning Weidong said: "That's also my fiancée." Zhao Ruyi said: "That won't work either!" Ning Weidong curled his lips, a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water: "Then you call people and say I am a hooligan~" "You~" Zhao Ruyi was completely speechless. It was impossible for her to call for help. She said angrily, "Let's switch back!" Ning Weidong glared and said, "You said change, so change. You said come back, so come back. From now on, we will listen to you or me! Stop talking nonsense and ride faster." After that, he slapped her on the butt with his other hand. Zhao Ruyu was furious, but helpless. After a stalemate for a while, the two of them finally continued riding their bicycles. Take Ning Weidong all the way to Coal B Guesthouse. This is the place where I agreed to meet Zhao Lichun. Zhao Lichun is currently working at Coal B. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be promoted to deputy director next year and then transferred to another department. Zhao Ruyu stopped in front of the carport below the guesthouse and said unhappily, "Why don't you get off now!" Ning Weidong reluctantly took it back and put it under his nose to smell it. There is no such thing as body odor. After a day of work and riding a bicycle for several kilometers carrying more than 180 kilograms, there is only the smell of sweat. When Zhao Ruzhi saw him like this, his heart was pounding. He cursed him as a "hooligan" and quickly quickened his pace to go into the guesthouse. Ning Weidong locked his bicycle before following. After entering the door, the decoration inside was quite good for that era. The marble pillars and crystal chandeliers in the lobby were even a bit luxurious. Zhao Ruyu communicated with the staff for a few words, turned around and glared at Ning Weidong, said "Follow me", and went straight up the stairs to the second floor. Opposite the stairs on the second floor is the restaurant lobby, and on the left is a corridor covered with red carpet, which leads to the private room. Zhao Ruyu led Ning Weidong over the thick carpet and came to the door of a room. He pushed the door open without knocking. Ning Weidong followed behind and saw that Zhao Lichun had arrived in the room. He was wearing a gray Zhongshan suit, a pen on his chest, gold-rimmed glasses, and his hair was meticulously groomed. He looked a little sharper than the last time they met at Wang's house. Zhao Ruyu was obviously suppressed by the aura and walked in and called out "Brother".

Ning Weidong followed him in, closed the door, and also called out "Brother Zhao". Zhao Lichun stood up and came over to shake hands with Ning Weidong, but he didn't rush to ask Ning Weidong what he wanted to do with him. He said first: "You haven't eaten yet~ Let's eat a bite first, and then talk about other things after that." Ning Weidong had no objection and sat down. On the contrary, Zhao Ruyu was more curious about what Ning Weidong wanted to do by looking for her elder brother today? Unfortunately, both men were calm and she couldn't do anything no matter how anxious she was. Zhao Lichun said, "Ruyi, go and ring the bell. I've already ordered the dishes." He then looked at Ning Weidong and said, "I remember Weidong said last time that there were no dietary restrictions. I just made the decision on my own." Ning Weidong smiled and said, "Brother Zhao, I'm not that particular." Zhao Ruyu walked to the door, where there was a black switch. He pressed it with his hand, and a red light flashed next to it, but there was no movement. But less than a minute after the three of them sat down, there was a knock on the door, and then three waiters came in, each holding a tray. The first two brought two dishes, and the last one brought a pot of soup, which together made exactly four dishes and one soup. Ning Weidong took a quick glance and saw nothing fancy in the dishes, just ordinary home cooking. However, the ingredients were in short supply, as most people in Beijing couldn't eat vegetables like cucumbers in the winter. Everyone prepared drinks, and the three of them served themselves rice. Ning Weidong didn't hesitate and started eating. He has a big appetite and eats more by himself than two people. Zhao Ruyu, as if they were from the same family, drank two bowls of rice in one breath. On the contrary, Zhao Lichun ate the least. Ning Weidong ate four bowls of rice and was finally full. He then drank a bowl of soup and ate some rice. Zhao Lichun smiled and said, "You two must prepare a big pot for your daily life in the future." Zhao Ruyi blushed, glared at her brother, and said unhappily, "What are you talking about!" Ning Weidong smiled. Now that the meal was over, it was time to get down to business: "Brother Zhao, you should know what happened at the Red Star Factory last night~" Ning Weidong was certain that the Zhao family had made arrangements at the Red Star Factory. A day had passed since what happened at the factory, and Zhao Lichun must have known about it. Sure enough, Zhao Lichun nodded and praised: "I didn't expect that you could solve such a complicated situation so quickly. It's rare, rare." Ning Weidong shook his head and said, "It's still a long way to go. Now I have at best slightly strengthened the defensive fence, but a fence is still a fence after all, it leaks everywhere and is full of holes. It can't stop the enemy with just this." Zhao Lichun nodded and asked, "What are your plans for the next step?" Ning Weidong said bluntly: "No matter how good the defense is, it can only increase the opponent's victory cost, but it can't win. If you want to win, you must find a way to attack." Zhao Lichun said nothing and continued listening. Ning Weidong said: "But if you want to launch an attack, you must have intelligence support." Zhao Lichun immediately understood what Ning Weidong meant and wanted the Zhao family to come up with some useful information. If Ning Weidong had made this request yesterday, he would have been more inclined to refuse. Intelligence is a very important resource and no one can share it for free. Not to mention that Ning Weidong and Zhao Ruyu are not married, even if they are married and he is the son-in-law of the Zhao family, there is no ambiguity about this issue. But last night, Ning Weidong showed his worth.

This is also why he is qualified to have this meal here tonight. Otherwise, Zhao Lichun would not even see him. After a moment of silence, Zhao Lichun said, "I need to know your subsequent plans." Ning Weidong refused without a second thought: "No, if the king is not discreet, he will lose his ministers, if the minister is not discreet, he will lose his body, and if a few things are not discreet, harm will be done." Zhao Lichun frowned, stared intently, and said in a deep voice: "If your elder brother Ning Weiguo asked, it wouldn't work?" Ning Weidong said firmly: "No!" Zhao Ruyu on the side held his breath. It was the first time he saw someone of his own age, Ning Weidong, who was even two years younger than him, dare to confront his older brother directly. Zhao Ruyu grew up in the compound. The children of the big courtyard have their own rules, which are generally determined by the position and background of their parents, but this is only limited to those who play around and do nothing all day long. Every day your dad is so-and-so, his dad is so-and-so. Although these people are numerous, they are not actually the mainstream. The real mainstream is people like Zhao Lichun who have already gained a position and have control over the resources. Even if such a person is just a small section chief in the unit, he still has an insurmountable gap with those who are idle. No matter how powerful their backgrounds are, how arrogant they are, or how loud their voices are, when they see someone like Zhao Lichun, they dare not get angry and can only smile and call him Brother Zhao. Because their family would never offend another family who has invested resources and worked hard to train an heir for a scrap that has already been given up. Because of this, Ning Weidong’s toughness surprised Zhao Ruyu even more. She didn't know what happened last night, and even though she heard some rumors in the factory during the day, she didn't realize the significance behind them. Seeing Ning Weidong's tough attitude at this moment, I had only one thought in my mind: what right does he have? However, what surprised her even more was the reaction of her eldest brother Zhao Lichun. After looking at Ning Weidong for a moment, Zhao Lichun actually compromised! He didn't show any emotion, but just said calmly: "You can go to see Director Shen of the logistics department of your factory and let Ruyi take you there. She knows her home." Ning Weidong breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said with a smile: "Thank you, big brother!" Zhao Lichun looked at his watch and said, "Have a cup of tea before you go, so as not to catch up with them when they are having dinner." Ning Weidong responded, and Zhao Ruyu asked someone to bring a pot of tea. Afterwards, Zhao Lichun and Ning Weidong did not mention the main business anymore, but just chatted about random things. It was past seven o'clock before we came out of the guesthouse. Zhao Lichun sent the two of them outside and asked them to go first while he would call Director Shen's home. Ning Weidong waved goodbye, got on his bike, took Zhao Ruyu with him, and headed west along the main road.

Shen Weizhen's home is not in the Red Star Factory's staff quarters, but a house allocated by her husband's unit. Zhao Ruyu had been there several times and was familiar with the route, so she found the place in more than ten minutes. On the way, Zhao Ruyu introduced Shen Weizhen's situation. Shen Weizhen's lover works in the court, and the house he lives in now is also the staff quarters there. Speaking of which, with Shen Weizhen's level, he could have been allocated a main room with better conditions in the Red Star Factory, but his family still insisted on staying where they are now. There is no other reason, it's just that here he can be closer to the leaders of the unit, and when it comes to career development, their family still focuses on Shen Weizhen's lover. After all, as a woman, Shen Weizhen is now the director of the logistics department of a large factory, which is almost the peak of her career. Ning Weidong parked his bicycle and looked up at the building. Zhao Ruyu pointed to a lighted window on the third floor and said, "That's the room." Ning Weidong said "hmm" and walked into the corridor first. Zhao Ruyu followed closely behind and found a switch at the entrance with the help of the light in front of the building. He reached out and pulled it. There was a click and the corridor lights on the first floor suddenly lit up. Although there are no voice-controlled lights in buildings these days, there are still public corridor lights. But people don’t take good care of them. Most buildings install them, but they break down soon, and before anyone repairs them, they are gradually abandoned. Obviously, Shen Weizhen's home here does not fall into that category. Although it is not a particularly new residential building, the facilities in it are well preserved. As we went up one floor at a time, the lights were turned off and we reached the third floor. Zhao Ruyu reached out and knocked on the door. It was also a wooden door covered with galvanized iron sheets, and the noise it made when knocking with the knuckles was particularly loud. I asked "Who is it?" in the room and heard footsteps coming. Zhao Ruyi immediately said: "Sister Shen, I am Ruyi~" Before he finished speaking, the door opened, revealing a middle-aged woman with curly hair. "Ruyi!" Shen Weizhen was of medium build and average looks, but he had a kind of affinity. He was not surprised to see Ning Weidong standing behind Zhao Ruyi, and said with a smile: "You are Comrade Ning Weidong!" Ning Weidong nodded quickly: "Director Shen, you can just call me Xiao Ning." Shen Weizhen let the two into the house: "What Director Shen? Just call Ruyi Sister Shen." Ning Weidong called out "Sister Shen" and closed the door. The Shen family's house was very clean, with a terrazzo floor. Ning Weidong also noticed that there was a Mitsubishi vacuum cleaner in the corner. This is a very rare foreign thing nowadays.

Zhao Ruyi was about to walk in, but Ning Weidong pulled her back and asked, "Sister Shen, change your slippers. They are all dirty because of you." But at this moment, a middle-aged man came out from inside. He was of medium build, with a square face and a dignified look. "Don't be polite, Xiao Ning. Come in quickly~" Shen Weizhen said: "This is my beloved Li Wanduo." Ning Weidong called out "brother-in-law" and then went into the house with Zhao Ruyu and sat down on the sofa in the living room. Shen Weizhen's house is not big, about 60 square meters, and the layout is a bit strange, with the kitchen and bathroom on the north, two bedrooms on the south, and a somewhat cramped small living room in the middle. But in this era, this housing condition is already quite good. Central heating and a private kitchen and bathroom are things you wouldn't even dare to dream of if you lived in a slum. After sitting down, Shen Weizhen took the initiative to say: "Lichun called me just now." Then he looked at Ning Weidong and said: "Weidong, I also heard about you and Ruyi. Then you are not an outsider. If you have any questions, just tell me." Ning Weidong first thanked him, and then told him the real purpose of his visit today. From the time he made the appointment with Zhao Lichun to the time he came here, he had gone through a long process just waiting for this sentence. "Sister Shen, you are in the factory, you must understand the current situation, I won't say more." Ning Weidong said calmly: "The key point now has been concentrated on me and Wang Kaifeng..." Shen Weizhen nodded. Ning Weidong's words hit the nail on the head. In fact, she received a call from the factory at home last night, and she was surprised by Ning Weidong's methods and courage. Originally, in her opinion, the situation Ning Weidong was facing was quite bad, and the best choice was not to go to Workshop 4. Once he jumped into the pit, it would be extremely difficult to climb out. Unexpectedly, Ning Weidong jumped in and stirred up the situation right after, launching a counterattack. Now he has found her through the Zhao family and made it clear that he wants to engage in close combat with Wang Kaifeng. This made Shen Weizhen wonder, could it be that the young man in front of him could really turn the tables and overthrow Wang Kaifeng? Thinking of this possibility, Shen Weizhen couldn't help but pursed his lips, looked at Zhao Ruyu, and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Ning, I will definitely tell you everything I know, but before I say it, I want to ask you a question." Ning Weidong nodded and asked. Shen Weizhen asked: "What exactly do you want to do this time?" Ning Weidong immediately understood what Shen Weizhen meant. If it means to stop at the right time, then Shen Weizhen has the idea of ​​stopping at the right time. If the fight continues until death, then there is also a saying that the fight will not end until death. After all, Shen Weizhen will have to stay in the Red Star Factory in the future. If some news comes out from her, and if Ning Weidong fails to kill Wang Kaifeng, Wang Kaifeng will trace the source later, which may be disadvantageous to her. No matter how good Shen Weizhen's relationship with the Zhao family is, the premise of doing anything is to protect himself first. Ning Weidong narrowed his eyes and said confidently, "Don't worry, Sister Shen. Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. They are willing to exchange a deputy factory director for me, but they don't want to keep me for the New Year. Since I accepted the challenge and came to Workshop 4, this matter will not be let go. As two chess pieces that have entered the game, one of me and Wang Kaifeng must die." Ning Weidong did not yell when he spoke, but his eyes and tone revealed ruthlessness and determination, and even old-timers like Shen Weizhen and his wife felt their hearts tremble. Especially Shen Weizhen, he glanced at Zhao Ruyu who was sitting next to Ning Weidong again. I thought to myself that only a man like this could tame Zhao Ruyu, such a hottie.

The thought flashed through her mind, and Shen Weizhen pulled herself back to her thoughts. She nodded and said, "In that case, I believe you. Wang Kaifeng is a very cautious person, and he does things very thoroughly. To be honest, it's not easy for you to find his flaws." Ning Weidong listened without any hurry, for he knew that after laying the groundwork, Shen Weizhen would definitely have a "but". Sure enough, Shen Weizhen continued: "But no one is perfect. Wang Kaifeng can control himself, but he can't control everyone around him. He has a brother-in-law named Zhang Dashun..." More than half an hour later, Ning Weidong and Zhao Ruyu came out of Shen Weizhen's house. Ning Weidong knew that this trip was the right one. Shen Weizhen provided him with a very important piece of information, that is, Wang Kaifeng's brother-in-law Zhang Dashun was the team leader of the Red Star Factory's railway team, specifically responsible for railway maintenance and dispatching carriages. Since the year before last, there have been more than one accidents on the factory’s railway. The most serious incident resulted in a direct derailment, killing two train crew members and causing the loss of fourteen carriages of cargo. Although most of these accidents occurred outside the factory, they seemed to have nothing to do with Zhang Dashun, the foreman of the railway team in the factory. And in the end, the investigation did not yield any results. But such frequent accidents are not normal in themselves, and the losses caused by these accidents to the factory are also real. Shen Weizhen didn’t know whether Zhang Dashun had a direct relationship with these accidents. She only provided clues, and Ning Weidong still needed to investigate the details. However, since Shen Weizhen said so, he must be very sure about it, but he couldn't say it for sure and give Ning Weidong a guarantee. After picking up the bicycle, Ning Weidong took Zhao Ruyu back first. It was already past eight o'clock when we returned to the compound where the Zhao family lived. When they arrived at the gate of the compound, they had to register to enter. Ning Weidong had no intention of going in and dropped Zhao Ruyu off at the door. The sentry at the gate probably knew Zhao Ruyu and couldn't help but look over here. Ning Weidong was sitting astride his bicycle, in a good mood. Zhao Ruyu got out from the back seat, said hello and went back. Ning Weidong stretched out his hand and pulled her and said, "Wait a minute, I have something to say." Zhao Ruyu was surprised, and when she turned around, Ning Weidong kissed her on the mouth unexpectedly. Zhao Ruyu suddenly reacted and became a little angry. After all, it was at the gate of her family's compound. Although it was late at night and there were not many people at the gate, if someone saw her, she, the big sister Zhao Ruyu, was kissing someone at the gate, where would she put her face? But she had no way to deal with Ning Weidong, so she could only stomp her feet and run away angrily. The sentries over there were all dumbfounded. Is this the girl from the Zhao family? …… At the same time, at Shen Weizhen's house. After Ning Weidong and Zhao Ruyu left, Shen Weizhen immediately called Zhao Lichun back: "Hello, yes, I just left... According to your request, I gave the situation of the railway team to Ning Weidong... OK, I understand... Don't worry..." After the call, Shen Weizhen breathed a sigh of relief and complained to his wife, "Lao Li, you said this Zhao Lichun, it's their own family's business, why do you have to pass it on to me?"

Li Wanduo sat next to him and said meaningfully, "If it were really our own family, would we still do this?" Shen Weizhen was surprised and asked, "Do you think there will be any changes in the marriage between the Zhao family and the Wang family?" Li Wanduo said: "It's not that repeated, but whether it is this Ning Weidong... it's hard to say." Shen Weizhen nodded: "That's right. If we can't get over this hurdle, there's no need to talk about the future." Li Wanduo said: "But this Ning Weidong is really a character, or he must have a master behind him." …… Ning Weidong returned to the slum. After obtaining information from Shen Weizhen, he must report it to Ning Weiguo. If we want to follow this clue and investigate further, we must rely on the power of the Wang family. When I returned to the slum, it was almost nine o'clock. The yard was quiet. Ning Weidong pushed his bicycle back to the courtyard. The lights were still on in the earthquake-proof shed. Maybe the naughty kid Ning Lei was still reading a picture book. The light of the Bai family across the street was also on. Bai Fengqin had been studying until midnight every day recently. Ning Weiguo and Wang Yuzhen didn't rest either. Ning Weidong parked his bike and went straight into the upper room. He pushed the door open and called out, "Brother, sister-in-law~" Ning Weiguo and Wang Yuzhen were stunned. They had said that he would stay in the factory for the next few days and would not come back. Why did Ning Weidong suddenly go back on his word? Ning Weiguo's heart tightened, subconsciously thinking that something had happened, but seeing Ning Weidong looked relaxed and smiling, it didn't look like anything had happened. Wang Yuzhen had the same thought and asked hurriedly, "What's going on?" Ning Weidong didn't waste any words. He took off his coat and recounted what happened today. Especially when talking about the information they got from Shen Weizhen about Wang Kaifeng's brother-in-law, Ning Weiguo and Wang Yuzhen both frowned. Ning Weiguo's expression became serious and he and Wang Yuzhen looked at each other. Originally, Zhao Lichun could have said this directly and there was no need to turn it over to Shen Weizhen. Was there something fishy going on? Furthermore, several related accidents all occurred outside the factory. If this news spread, the impact of this incident would inevitably spread beyond the scope of the Red Star Factory. (End of this chapter)
