Chapter 126 May "Leader!" Wu Bingzhong shouted as he entered the room, closed the door with his backhand, and walked forward quickly. Ning Weidong couldn't help but frowned when he saw him. Although Wu Bingzhong is not a man of good character, he is very disciplined in doing things. Since he joined Ning Weidong and became the squad leader of the South Gate, he has done quite well. What is meant by good here is not that he has any superb management skills, but that he is good in information intelligence. Since Wu Bingzhong became the squad leader, Ning Weidong now directly controls one of the four squads at the South Gate. Originally, the Security Department had four squads at the South Gate, and Li Weibing and Wang Guoqiang were nominally in charge of two squads each, which was considered a fair share of the power. But in fact, there is a lot to it. How to schedule shifts and how to change shifts all have their own particularities. Although he has two squad leaders on the surface, Wang Guoqiang actually has the upper hand and holds greater power. Now, Wu Bingzhong has intervened and completely disrupted the original pattern.

But the situation in the factory has no impact on the outside at all. For example, Li Weibing and Wang Guoqiang, no matter how much resources they originally provided to the outside world, they still cannot stop providing them now. This was also the tacit understanding reached after negotiations between several parties including the Wang family and the Zhao family. And specifically to Ning Weidong. Wu Bingzhong's move was quite brilliant. It's not that he could control the South Gate through Wu Bingzhong. In fact, let alone Wu Bingzhong, even if he took down all four squad leaders, he couldn't control the South Gate. Wu Bingzhong's real value lies in information intelligence. With Wu Bingzhong, Ning Weidong can control the vehicles entering and leaving the factory through the south gate. Which car belongs to whom, who is the open party, who is the hidden party, and who approved the permit. This is the real core information. With this information in hand, even if Ning Weidong is only a deputy section chief of the Security Department, he is not to be underestimated. Since ancient times, position and rank have never been the fundamental elements in defining power. The reason why a person is an emperor is because he has the resources to become an emperor, including military power, financial power, and public opinion. That is why he is called an emperor. Otherwise, even if you have a title, you can only be a puppet. The same applies to factory directors, department heads, and section chiefs. At this time, Ning Weidong became the deputy section chief and nominally replaced Li Peihang, but whether he could take over was not just a matter of words. Power is a good thing. Once you have it in your hands, no one wants to let it slip through their fingers. Even if Li Peihang was promoted to deputy director and took control of the overall situation of the Security Department, it seemed that there would be nothing wrong in handing over the original authority to Ning Weidong. But in the past two days, Ning Weidong has clearly felt that after the initial excitement and agitation, Li Peihang has begun to calm down and redistribute power. Originally, when Wang Kaifeng was still around, he had never thought about this problem.

But now, with the passage of time and the change of circumstances, after becoming the head of the Security Department, Li Peihang's mind has changed consciously or unconsciously. It’s not that he has any opinion of Ning Weidong, but as the top leader, he must keep some power in his own hands. Ning Weidong was quite sensitive to this, but did not react much. His top priority now is not to fight for power, but to consolidate his foundation. The most important of these is the correspondence diploma. If you fail to get the diploma this summer, and wait until the second half of the year when the formal policy of work-for-labor substitution is implemented, people like Ning Weidong, who are of age and have just started working-for-labor substitution, will definitely be dismissed. Then he, as the deputy section chief, would be embarrassed. As for power, Ning Weidong is not worried. As long as Wang Guoqiang is still in the factory, the entire Red Star Factory will maintain balance. In addition to Li Weibing’s age handicap, they will definitely continue to win over Ning Weidong. To take a step back, even if Director Li made a stupid move, Ning Weidong could choose to get closer to Wang Guoqiang. Zhengzhi has no eternal enemies. It can be said that Wang Kaifeng was defeated by Ning Weidong, but if Ning Weidong now shows his intention to get closer to Wang Guoqiang, Wang Guoqiang will definitely accept it with great joy and turn hostility into friendship. "What's the matter? Sit down and talk." Ning Weidong stood up and walked to the sofa, sitting down. Wu Bingzhong was a little reserved, but he was quite smart and after joining Ning Weidong, he put himself in the right position. "Leader, I have something to report to you." Wu Bingzhong sat on the sofa with his back straight, his hands placed neatly on his knees. "Don't be so reserved." Ning Weidong took out a cigarette and threw it over: "You say~" Wu Bingzhong hurriedly caught it with both hands and said, "I have a subordinate named Sun, Sun Jiacheng, who is a veteran in the Security Department. He used to be very close to Fan Datou..." Ning Weidong took a puff of his cigarette. He had thrown Fan Datou into workshop four before. Now under Ning Wei's nose, how could he not be honest? He asked, “What’s wrong with this guy?” Wu Bingzhong said: "These past two days, I've noticed that he's always sneaking around. He doesn't leave after get off work. Previously, he wouldn't stay even a minute longer after work, wishing he could grow two more legs to go home. Also, after lunch, he used to look for someone to play chess with or watch the fun in the house, but now he doesn't play chess anymore and just wanders around the factory..." Ning Weidong listened and frowned. Wu Bingzhong said that these are actually some hearsay, just some living habits, which may not be unchanging. But judging from what Wu Bingzhong said, he definitely didn't get along with Sun Jiacheng. He implicitly emphasized that Sun Jiacheng was close to Fan Datou. Sun Jiacheng was a regular state-owned enterprise worker. Not to mention that Wu Bingzhong disliked him, even Ning Weidong couldn't do anything to him. The worst that could happen was that he could find an excuse to transfer him to another place like Fan Datou did and make things difficult for him. Ning Weidong waited for him to finish, then calmly asked, "Do you want to... transfer this Sun Jiacheng away?" Wu Bingzhong waved his hands quickly and said, "No, leader, you misunderstood. How can I get rid of the trouble after discovering this situation~" He said with a chuckle, "As a subordinate, it is my duty to share the worries of the leader. I mean, should we pay attention to Sun Jiacheng? He and Fan Datou... I'm afraid they are doing something secretly." Ning Weidong raised his eyebrows. What Wu Bingzhong said made him look at him with new eyes. If Wu Bingzhong came just to flatter someone, like transferring Sun Jiacheng away, Ning Weidong would definitely not help him and would also have a negative impression of Wu Bingzhong. But now it seems that I underestimated this old guy. After thinking for a while, he said, "Okay, keep an eye on him first, and report to me if anything happens."

Wu Bingzhong quickly said "Hey", stood up and said: "Leader, I understand, then I will go back first." Ning Weidong smiled and nodded, and walked her to the door. After Wu Bingzhong left, Ning Weidong smiled, knowing that Wu Bingzhong actually had nothing to do today. As for Sun Jiacheng, it was just an excuse. The purpose was to hang around in front of him, show his loyalty, and demonstrate his presence. Having said that, Sun Jiacheng's situation should not be groundless. It may be a bit exaggerated, but it is basically the same. Wu Bingzhong will not lie about this and damage his credibility. "Sun Jiacheng~" Ning Weidong couldn't help but remember the name. Just at this moment, the phone on the table suddenly rang. Ning Weidong reached out and grabbed it and said "Hey". Zhang Dajun's voice immediately came from the other end of the phone. Ning Weidong listened and couldn't help showing a surprised expression: "You mean, someone dug a tunnel under the well of the neighborhood committee, and the strange noise heard yesterday was the digging of the tunnel?" Zhang Dajun said: "Yes, Qian Qiang led some people there just now. They went down to the well and saw a hole three meters deep at the bottom of the well..." Ning Weidong narrowed his eyes slightly. He was digging a tunnel in the capital, and then he thought about the neighborhood committee next to him. There was only an alley across the street and it was the White Pagoda Temple. He immediately realized that it might be a tomb robber who was planning to dig directly underground? But on second thought, it doesn't seem right. The main reason is that the timing is wrong. It is only 1979 and the antique craze has not yet started. Nowadays, antiques are difficult to sell at a high price unless they are particularly good. unless…… Thinking of this, Ning Weidong's heart trembled. Unless these people can establish connections with overseas parties, they can get the stuff and then leave directly. Or more directly, someone outside specifies the target, and then we in China do the "work" in a targeted manner. "Is this the case? Or am I overthinking?" Ning Weidong pondered in his heart and expressed his thoughts. On the other end of the phone, Zhang Dajun didn't expect Ning Weidong to think of this, and said in a deep voice: "We also made the same judgment, but unfortunately... the other party must have heard the news in advance..." Ning Weidong was not surprised either. Bai Fengyu broke her leg yesterday and caused some commotion at the neighborhood committee. Although no one openly discussed the prank, there was one person present at the time, and the news must have spread afterwards. Generally speaking, those who can take on such a big "project" must be gangs, some of whom work underground and some of whom are on top. Today, Zhang Dajun sent people there again and found a hole under the well, but it was not blocked. After explaining the situation, Ning Weidong put down the phone and thought of Bai Fengyu lying in the hospital. This was really an unprovoked disaster. It's a pity that the person was not caught, otherwise Zhang Dajun would have done a great job. Considering his age and qualifications, he might be able to move up. How could Zhang Dajun be willing to give up such a good opportunity? After talking to Ning Weidong, he immediately sent more people to track and investigate. Unfortunately, nothing came of it.

It was not until more than a month later that Bai Fengyu was finally discharged from the hospital. Her fracture is not serious and she can go home to recuperate. After May Day, the weather in Beijing turned warmer, the pomegranate trees in the yard sprouted new buds, and people changed into more refreshing spring clothes. Bai Fengyu was discharged from the hospital. Because Bai Fengqin had to go to school and take the college entrance examination soon, they didn't want to delay her, so Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu helped and asked Zhou Kun to pick her up on a cart. "Brother Zhou Er, thank you for today~" Bai Fengyu got off the back of the flatbed cart with a pair of crutches rented from the hospital and thanked Zhou Kun with a smile. Zhou Kun waved his hands: "Why thank me? We are all neighbors. Um...be careful. I'm going to go back and wait for work." Uncle Lu helped carry the luggage and said, "Go quickly, don't delay making money." Zhou Kun responded and rode away on his tricycle. Bai Fengyu was leaning on a crutch. She had practiced in the hospital for a few days, so she didn't seem unfamiliar with it. She walked up the stone steps in front of the compound. - I will organize the outline today and will try to resume the update volume later. (End of this chapter)
