1979 My Life in the Era

Chapter 117: He can’t get out!

Chapter 117 He can’t get out! Hearing Wang Yuzhen calling Chu Zhongxin, Ning Weidong felt warm in his heart. He hummed and said, "Fourth brother, I know you are under a lot of pressure over there. Can you tell me the truth? How many days can you hold on?" On the phone, Chu Zhongxin made a "tsk" sound and fell into silence. The reason he made this call today was actually to persuade Ning Weidong not to get stuck in a rut. But after answering the phone, Ning Weidong's straightforwardness surprised him. It was obvious that Ning Weidong didn't expect him to be able to hold on at all, which made Chu Zhongxin a little embarrassed to answer. Ning Weidong didn't urge him. About seven or eight seconds later, Chu Zhongxin said: "Two days, at most two days!" Ning Weidong said: "Okay, help me delay it until the day after tomorrow before I get off work." Chu Zhongxin didn't know what Ning Weidong wanted to do, but he didn't ask any more questions.

At this time, and on the phone, Ning Weidong couldn't possibly tell his plan. That would be the same as telling Wang Guoqiang directly. After hanging up the phone, Ning Weidong took a deep breath. Chu Zhongxin didn't say where the pressure came from, but it must have been quite a lot. Otherwise, Chu Zhongxin wouldn't have made this call so early in the morning. At the same time, Ning Weidong also realized that Chu Zhongxin might not be able to stick to the two days he promised. He must speed up. Thinking of this, Ning Weidong picked up the phone again: "Hello, Brother Zhang, this is Weidong... I'll see you at noon... Okay, no problem... Goodbye." After contacting Zhang Dajun, Ning Weidong put down the phone again and took out a cigarette from his pocket. With a "ding" sound, a spark flashed from the lighter, and a faint smell of kerosene emanated from the cotton thread, instantly igniting a flame. Ning Weidong didn't light the cigarette, but put it on with a "click" sound, and then pushed it open... He repeated this over and over again, looking out the window with dazed eyes. At this moment, there was a knock on the door and Ning Wei called out "Section Chief". Calling by position in the workplace is a rule that Ning Wei learned very early on. Ning Weidong came back to his senses and shouted, "Come in." Ning Wei pushed the door open and came in, followed by Zhou Wu. Zhou Wu's nervousness could be clearly felt; it was the first time in his life that he had entered such a large office building. Even though he usually brags in a vague way when he is outside, when he really gets here, he feels uncomfortable as soon as he steps into the building. The floors in the building are all terrazzo, and the cleaning staff had just cleaned them early this morning. The people walking back and forth were all well-dressed. Some glanced at him, while others simply ignored him. Zhou Wu felt that he was out of place here.

This feeling became more obvious when we entered Ning Weidong's office. Ning Weidong went to see him yesterday, but he still didn't notice. But at this moment in Ning Weidong's office, he didn't know where to put his hands and feet. Zhou Wu has been to the street and neighborhood committees, where there were always a large group of people in one office, and only the leaders could occupy an office by themselves. He simply couldn't get in touch with that kind of person. Today was the first time he walked into an office with one person per room, and this office actually belonged to Ning Weidong. "I'm here~" Ning Weidong was at ease, smiling and pointing at the sofa: "Sit down~ Xiaowei, pour two glasses of water." Ning Wei responded. Ning Weidong stood up and walked from behind the desk and asked, "Have you completed all the formalities?" Zhou Wu put his hands on his knees, shifted his butt on the sofa, and replied, "It's done." Ning Weidong said, "Now that it's done, you'll be a member of the factory from now on. Work hard. If you have any difficulties, come to Xiaowei. If he can't solve them, come to me. I brought you in, so you'll be mine from now on." Zhou Wu hurriedly said, "Brother Ning... please rest assured, I will definitely not embarrass you." At this time, Ning Wei held the white porcelain teacup and poured three cups of hot water. Ning Weidong asked him to sit down, took a sip from the steaming cup of water, and asked, "How is it going?" Now that the formalities have been completed, Zhou Wu has become a factory employee. If Ning Weidong had to consider his wording when speaking to Zhou Wu yesterday, now he doesn't need to do that at all. Just like he said, after entering the factory, Zhou Wu was his man, and how he could control him or use him was all up to Ning Weidong's wishes. But Zhou Wu did not lose out either, as he transformed himself from a street urchin into a serious worker, which is something many people would dream of all their lives. Zhou Wu glanced at Ning Wei. Although he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, he is still very cunning. Ning Weidong had said long ago that he would let Ning Wei lead him, as Ning Wei was his direct superior. "Why are you looking at me?" Ning Wei was speechless. Zhou Wu laughed naively, raised his hand and scratched his head, saying: "Leader, Xiao Wei and I ran around until late last night, and we have already settled it. Let's do it tonight..." Ning Weidong pursed his lips and nodded. In fact, he wanted to start right away, but some things couldn't be rushed, and he had to wait... After discussing some specific details, Ning Wei and Zhou Wu left. Ning Weidong let out a long sigh, leaned back on the sofa, narrowed his eyes and wondered if there were any loopholes in the whole plan. It was almost noon when Ning Weidong looked at his watch, then got up and left the office.

I happened to meet Section Chief Chen in the corridor. Section Chief Chen came out with a lunch box and hurriedly greeted him, "Section Chief, let's go to the cafeteria~" Ning Weidong nodded and didn't explain that he was going out to do something. Section Chief Chen came up, looked around quickly, and whispered, "Section Chief, please pay attention to Fan Datou and his men..." Ning Weidong raised his eyebrows. He knew this Fan Datou, who was also an old employee in the Security Department and the squad leader of the South Gate. He was originally a subordinate of Wang Kaifeng and was considered a capable person. Similar to Li Peihang and Xu Jinshan, but their relationship is closer and more reliable. Section Chief Chen is not the type of person who speaks without thinking. Since he took the initiative to issue a reminder, he must have some knowledge of the situation. Ning Weidong looked at Section Chief Chen deeply and said "thank you". Section Chief Chen smiled, his goal had been achieved, so he didn't say anything more, nodded, and left. Ning Weidong narrowed his eyes, unable to guess what this Fan Datou was up to. But no matter what, it did not affect his ability to completely pin Wang Kaifeng to death inside, and no one could save him this time! But not paying attention does not mean no reaction. Ning Weidong turned back to the office, picked up the phone and called Ning Wei: "Hello, Xiaowei, there is a situation now... Yes, you should pay attention to this person... Don't worry, you can do whatever you want. If he refuses to accept the toast, it won't hurt to teach him a lesson." After the arrangements were completed, Ning Weidong came out of the office again. Ning Weidong didn't take Fan Datou to heart. Soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals, this level of situation is enough for Ning Wei to deal with. His top priority now is Wang Kaifeng. I rode a bicycle from the factory to Zhang Dajun’s police station. Taking advantage of lunch time, the two of them went back to the small restaurant where they had eaten Mu Shu Pork last time. We stayed in the small single room inside and ordered two dishes and a soup. Ning Weidong repeated his plan while eating. Zhang Dajun was startled and stopped eating a large piece of Mu Xu pork with his chopsticks. It took him several seconds to come back to his senses. He put his chopsticks in the bowl and said anxiously, "Brother, you..." But he didn't know how to say it for a long time. Ning Weidong knew that this plan had Zhang Dajun charging into battle, which was quite risky for him. He said seriously, "Brother Zhang, I know your concerns. If you really don't want to, I won't force you." Zhang Dajun frowned and said nothing. Ning Weidong continued, "But in one's life, opportunities are limited. If you miss it this time, you may not get it again next time." Zhang Dajun was startled. Ning Weidong paused, then continued: "Besides, any opportunity is accompanied by risks. If there is really an opportunity without risk, there are only two possibilities: either it is a scam or there is no return."

Zhang Dajun understood what Ning Weidong meant and a fierce struggle broke out in his heart. This time Ning Weidong wants to take him for a gamble, and he doesn't want to follow. If I didn't follow, I wouldn't have to take any risks, but I would have missed this opportunity and also missed Ning Weidong. In fact, Zhang Dajun's position is to do dirty and hard work. If you can't stand up at the critical moment and are afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind, you are doomed to have no hope of getting ahead. Zhang Dajun is a smart man and he had seen through it long ago. But when he thought of Ning Weidong's plan, he still felt scared. Now that the Wang family and the Zhao family have both withdrawn, the other side is clearly determined to protect Wang Kaifeng to the death. In this case, what will be the consequences of a hard slap in the face? Will the other party get angry and embarrassed? When the time comes and he vents his anger on others, Ning Weidong will be protected by his brother and sister-in-law, but who will protect Zhang Dajun? When the lightning strikes, will he use his head to block it? Zhang Dajun knew very well that his small body really couldn't handle it! But to retreat... Zhang Dajun looked at Ning Weidong opposite him. The soup bowl was steaming and lying across the table, so he couldn't see Ning Weidong's expression clearly. But it is not difficult to guess that if he backs down this time, his relationship with Ning Weidong will end here in the future. Although Chu Zhongxin's tree is big, there are not many places where he can use Zhang Dajun. Moreover, there are too many people like Zhang Dajun around Chu Zhongxin, and everyone is trying their best to get close to Chu Zhongxin. In comparison, Zhang Dajun has no advantage at all. If it weren't for the Ning family living in his area, he wouldn't even have this opportunity. …… At one o'clock in the afternoon, Ning Weidong came back from outside. As soon as I entered the south gate, I saw a large group of people gathered in the open space on the left, probably dozens of them, and some were making a fuss. Ning Weidong couldn't help but stop. He stretched his neck but couldn't see inside. There happened to be a flower bed next to him. He stepped onto the flower bed and saw a group of heads. A circle with a diameter of four or five meters was formed in the middle of the head, and two people stood inside the circle. Ning Weidong couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw it. One of the two men was a big and strong man, with a big head, like a castanea, much bigger than that of ordinary people. He was the one that Section Chief Chen mentioned to him at noon, Fan Datou from the South Gate. The other person is Zhou Wu. The two men stood facing each other, Fan Datou was gesticulating, but it was unclear what he was saying because Ning Weidong couldn't hear him because he was too far away. Zhou Wu smiled contemptuously and immediately assumed a wrestling stance.

Over there, Fan Datou also lowered his center of gravity. At this time, Ning Weidong could not be seen through the crowd, but he found Ning Wei from the crowd. He stood behind Zhou Wu, clasped his hands, and watched the fight carefully. Ning Weidong understood what was going on instantly. Section Chief Chen had previously reminded him that Fan Datou wanted to cause trouble for him. But the specific details of how the trouble would be caused or when were left vague. Ning Weidong didn't have the time to waste his energy on such a small fry, so he simply handed the matter over to Ning Wei. As for how to deal with it, the method is also very simple. No matter what the other party is thinking or planning, if you have the upper hand in strength, you should pick out the other party's strengths and suppress the things they are most proud of. Just like this Fan Datou, he was able to make a name for himself in the Security Department and become the squad leader of the South Gate. One of the important reasons for this was his good skills. There are several hundred people in the Security Department, many of whom are from the army. However, the troops are trained in skills to kill the enemy on the battlefield, which is not necessarily suitable for one-on-one fighting. On the contrary, people like Fan Datou, who have been practicing martial arts and wrestling since childhood, are more likely to succeed, making him famous and attracting the attention of Wang Kaifeng. Today, Ning Wei and Zhou Wu are going to defeat Fan Datou's fighting spirit. In public, Fan Datou was knocked down and convinced. At that time, Fan Datou's original supporters will suddenly turn to Zhou Wu's side. These people don't have any stance at all, they simply support whoever is stronger. Of course, the prerequisite is that Zhou Wu can firmly defeat Fan Datou. If he is beaten by others, everything will be wrong. At this time, the two men were in a stalemate for a few seconds, and Fan Datou took the first step. He took a step forward, bent down and dived, then rushed towards Zhou Wu. Zhou Wu did not dodge, but just stood firmly on his horse stance, crossed his hands in front of his chest, and rushed forward. With a bang, the two men collided with each other and wrestled in real combat to test each other's strength. After a few seconds of stalemate, Zhou Wu roared suddenly, and all his strength burst out, like a sloth bear hitting a tree. Fan Datou staggered suddenly, with a look of surprise on his face. He didn't expect Zhou Wu to be so powerful. Although he seemed to have an advantage in height and physique, he lost in a contest of strength. Just as he was stunned, Zhou Wu immediately reached out and grabbed his collar with his back hand. Almost at the same time, he inserted his front foot between his legs, pushed his knee forward, and bumped into him with his shoulder. In a flash, Fan Datou groaned and fell to the ground. The people around who were making a fuss suddenly stopped. They didn't expect that Fan Datou would lie down as soon as he met him. Fan Datou often boasted about how great he was and how he was a big shot in the wrestling arena in the city. In fact, Fan Datou was not completely bragging. He was indeed the best in all the major wrestling arenas in Beijing, but he had to compete with others.

Zhou Wu is completely different from them. To put it bluntly, Fan Datou went to the wrestling arena just for fun. Zhou Wu, however, relies on his kung fu to make a living and support his family. One is an amateur and the other is a professional. You can’t tell anything at normal times, but the winner will be revealed once the critical moment comes. Fan Datou supported himself on the ground with his hands, looking at Zhou Wu opposite him in disbelief. Zhou Wu's movements just now were too fast, and his eyes could see his body but he couldn't react. "Master!" Fan Datou's heart sank, and he glanced over Zhou Wu at Ning Wei behind him. He knew that this boy was brought into the factory by Ning Weidong from outside, and now he was in the duty room of workshop 4, which was equivalent to Ning Weidong's spokesperson. And this Zhou Wu, who just came here with Ning Wei, was obviously well prepared. Fan Datou is not stupid. He saw the clues long ago, but he is confident that his kung fu is not inferior to others, so he takes advantage of the opponent's trick and kills his opponent's fighting spirit. Last night, he had heard rumors that Wang Kaifeng was about to come out. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't dare to have any messy thoughts. Zhou Wu stood where he was, chuckled and said, "Come again if you don't agree." Fan Datou's face was gloomy. After just one encounter, he knew that he was no match for his opponent. It would be useless even if he tried to do it again ten or twenty times, let alone once. But if he just gave up like that, where would Fan Datou put his face? Fan Datou gritted his teeth, and the muscles in his cheeks jumped, occasionally glancing at the people next to him. These people are all his confidants, and they will rush forward as long as he shouts. But at this time, still in the factory, in public, he kept weighing the pros and cons but never dared to go all out. Although he knew that Wang Kaifeng would be back tomorrow, what if~ What if Wang Kaifeng doesn’t come back, or what if things get out of hand before Wang Kaifeng comes back? If he loses this job, how will his family survive? After thinking it over, Fan Datou finally didn't have the courage to fight. He could only get up from the ground, snorted fiercely, pushed through the crowd, and walked away. At this moment, someone in the crowd started cheering. This atmosphere soon spread to others. Even though Fan Datou seemed to be in a very successful position before, there were many people in the Security Department who disliked him. Now that they see him being humiliated, even if it has nothing to do with Ning Wei and Zhou Wu, they are happy to take the opportunity to add insult to injury. Fan Datou lowered his head, his face turning pale and blue, and went straight back to the guard room at the South Gate. Seeing that everyone had dispersed, Ning Weidong came down from the flower bed and walked slowly back to the office building. After he came back, Ning Wei and Zhou Wu came soon. The two were very excited. As soon as they entered the house, they talked about what had just happened. At the end, they said, "Third brother, didn't you see how miserable Fan Datou was just now? He wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into." Ning Weidong also smiled, but this kind of thing could only suppress Fan Datou's momentum. If he wanted to eliminate this hidden danger, there would have to be follow-up. Ning Weidong said: "Xiaowei, go back and tell Lu Zhou later to write a report saying that Workshop 4 is short of people..."

Ning Wei reacted very quickly, his eyes lit up immediately: "You want to move Fan Datou to Workshop 4?" Ning Weidong chuckled, which was considered as his agreement. Fan Datou is not a person worth Ning Weidong's attention, but the South Gate is of great importance to the Security Department, and it is not advisable to continue letting him stay at the South Gate. Ning Weidong said again: "By the way, how have you been interacting with Wu Bingzhong these days?" Ning Wei pondered and said, "Wu Bingzhong may seem simple and honest, but he is actually frivolous. He thinks he is smart and is very unreliable." Ning Weidong smiled and said, "When did I say he was reliable? But besides him, do we have anyone else available at the South Gate? If we put him up there for the time being, there will be less resistance. And if he takes over, what do you think Fan Datou will think?" Ning Wei pursed his lips and said nothing. Zhou Wu secretly swallowed his saliva. Originally, he only thought that Ning Weidong was extremely powerful, but now it seems that he can become an official in a factory as big as Red Star Factory. This guy has a really dirty heart! Fortunately, he did not think of revenge when he was beaten by Ning Weidong, and he also persuaded Zhang Jinfa, otherwise... the consequences would be unimaginable! Ning Weidong added: "Don't forget to ask Wu Bingzhong for money. You can't become the squad leader of the South Gate if you don't get anything for nothing." Ning Wei immediately responded: "Third brother, I understand, you said so." Ning Weidong said: "The old man has a lot of money. Don't be too picky. The more he takes, the more loyal he will be to us in the future." Ning Wei responded and came out of Ning Weidong's office. Soon Lu Zhou's application arrived on Ning Weidong's desk, and Ning Weidong took the application to Li Peihang's temporary office. At this time, Li Peihang had already heard the news. He heard that Wang Guoqiang had made a great effort and Wang Kaifeng would be back tomorrow. He was very upset. I thought I had a sure win, but I never expected there would be a chance of a turnaround. Seeing Ning Weidong coming in, Li Peihang immediately said, "Brother, have you heard about it too?" "What did you hear?" Ning Weidong was stunned and reached out to put Lu Zhou's application on Li Peihang's desk. Li Peihang said unhappily: "Wang Kaifeng is coming back!" Ning Weidong smiled: "Oh~ I don't care~ Brother Li, don't worry, he won't come back! I said~" Li Peihang was stunned. He did not expect that his worry would be met with Ning Weidong's confident answer. He quickly asked, "Brother, do you have a plan? Tell me how it is arranged." Ning Weidong said, "Brother Li, you will know tomorrow. Give me a stamp first." Only then did Li Peihang look at the application form and raised his eyebrows: "Do you want Fan Datou to be transferred to Workshop 4?" Ning Weidong said: "It's just for temporary borrowing. They are short of people. We can't just pile all the elite soldiers at the South Gate. Don't you agree?" Li Peihang is an old official, so how could he not understand what Ning Weidong meant. This completely disrupted the basic structure of the Security Department. I couldn't help but feel moved and almost slapped my thigh. Why didn't I think of it~ Knowing that Wang Kaifeng might come back, he was so busy worrying and blaming others that he didn't even think of taking the opportunity to make arrangements in advance.

In the original structure of the Security Department, Wang Kaifeng accounted for 60% and Li Peihang accounted for 40%. Among them, the South Gate, as the most important gate of the factory, was firmly controlled by Wang Kaifeng. Taking the opportunity to transfer Fan Datou away now would definitely be a good move. Even if Wang Kaifeng really comes back, he can delay the opponent to the greatest extent possible and prevent him from taking control of the Security Department again. After thinking it through, Li Peihang took out the official seal from the drawer without saying a word, dipped it in ink and slammed it on the paper. Ning Weidong came out of Li Peihang's temporary office and returned to his own office. He picked up the phone and called the guard at the South Gate: "Hello, this is Ning Weidong. Ask Comrade Fan Jianshe to come to my office." Fan Jianshe is Fan Datou's real name. At this time, he was feeling depressed in the South Gate guard room. The person who just answered the phone put it down, looked at him and said, "Brother Fan, Ning Weidong asked you to go over." Fan Datou was holding his breath, and when he heard Ning Weidong's name, he became even angrier. Just now, Zhou Wu came with Ning Wei, and Ning Wei is Ning Weidong's younger brother. This is no secret in the factory. What good could come of it if Ning Weidong asked him to go over now? I wanted to simply not go, but then I thought, Ning Weidong is now the deputy section chief, taking over Li Peihang's job, and he has considerable power. If we really want to offend Ning Weidong, we must use him as an example to establish our authority. Fan Datou got a headache just thinking about it. Fortunately, someone around him gave him a way out: "Brother Fan, why don't you go over and take a look? The man surnamed Ning is the deputy section chief after all. We don't need to compete with the people in the building." Fan Datou hummed, patted his pants and stood up: "I'll go and see what he wants to talk to me about!" Fan Datou had a tense look on his face and walked out of the South Gate as if he didn't care, but he unconsciously quickened his pace. Arriving outside Ning Weidong's office, Fan Datou licked his lips, stood upright, reached out and knocked on the door, and shouted "Report". Now that there is no one around, he doesn't need to act pretentiously, and he dare not show a bad face here. Ning Weidong said "Come in". Fan Datou pushed the door open and saw the young Ning Weidong sitting behind the desk, writing something with a pen. Without even raising his eyelids, he said, "Sit down~" Fan Datou responded quickly and sat down next to the sofa, but did not dare to lean against it. Ning Weidong didn't say anything. The only sound in the room could be heard: the sound of the pen tip rubbing against the manuscript paper. Fan Datou became increasingly nervous in this atmosphere. He put his hands on his knees, moved his buttocks from time to time, and looked at the wall clock. He felt that time was passing very slowly. He waited for half a day but only one minute had passed. After three full minutes, Ning Weidong stopped writing, looked up at him, and said with a smile: "Comrade Fan Jianshe, you are an old comrade in our Security Department. When I first entered the factory, you were an advanced worker, and you have been so for several years~" Fan Jianshe laughed dryly, wondering why Ning Weidong suddenly brought this up? Ning Weidong ignored his reaction and continued, "You are a strong and capable soldier in our security department. Now there is a mission. I think others can't do it, but you are the only one who can do it..." The corners of Fan Jianshe's mouth twitched. As soon as Ning Weidong said that just now, he guessed something. First he put on a tall hat, then from behind, kicked him in the buttocks and kicked him hard into the pit.

He had done this kind of thing before, but he didn't expect it to happen to him today. After listening to Ning Weidong, he finally understood that Ning Weidong planned to transfer him from the South Gate to Workshop 4. This is clearly cutting off the source of the trouble! But he couldn't refuse. In theory, Ning Weidong did have the right to transfer personnel in the department. Originally, Li Peihang also had this right, but due to Wang Kaifeng's suppression, he rarely used it. Now, Ning Weidong and Li Peihang are in cahoots, and it’s not certain whether Wang Kaifeng can be released. Ning Weidong exercised this right without any hindrance and used it in a very legitimate way. They even took his feelings into consideration and gave him a job as a substitute worker, so that he could serve as Lu Zhou's assistant in the fourth workshop. Seeing that Fan Datou didn't respond, Ning Weidong smiled and said, "What's the matter? Are you in trouble?" Fan Datou was smart enough to know that he had no right to object to the current situation. He quickly shook his head and said, "Report to the leader. I will obey the organization's arrangements and ensure that I complete the task." Ning Weidong nodded and took out the completed documents and handed them to him. This man was quite tactful and saved some trouble: "Well, you go and report now. Comrade Wu Bingzhong will take charge of the South Gate for now." Fan Datou lowered his head, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, and he kept repeating Wu Bingzhong's name in his heart: "Good old dog Wu, it turned out to be you!" He didn't dare to offend Ning Weidong, so he had to put the blame on Wu Bingzhong. At the same time, Wu Bingzhong looked at Ning Wei, who was only a few years older than his son, with a confused look on his face. Ning Wei said expressionlessly, "Old Wu, my third brother specifically mentioned it to me and asked me to come to you first to give you this opportunity. This is the squad leader of the South Gate. If you don't want to be the squad leader, there are many people who are willing to do it. Just tell me whether you want to do it or not. If not, I will find someone else." Wu Bingzhong swallowed his saliva, but still felt a little uneasy. He heard from Fan Datou last night that Wang Kaifeng would be back soon. By then, the Security Department will still be controlled by Mr. Wang. Now Ning Wei asked him for one thousand yuan to replace Fan Datou. Even though his salary appears to be similar to Fan Datou's, Fan Datou, the so-called squad leader, only receives an extra two yuan in subsidies per month. In fact, Fan Datou has a lot of hidden income. If you can really sit firmly, spending a thousand dollars is not too much. But the question is, can you sit steadily? Wu Bingzhong was wavering. Ning Wei curled his lips: "Then you think about it again~ I'll ask someone else." Seeing Ning Wei was about to leave, Wu Bingzhong's heart seemed to be grabbed by someone, and he quickly pulled him back: "Brother, brother, don't be in a hurry! I agree, I agree." Ning Wei snorted, his expression not in a good mood. He could see that people like Wu Bingzhong would take advantage of anyone who was treated well by him. After a while, Wu Bingzhong returned to the South Gate, feeling anxious and worried.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw Fan Datou packing his things, with a few people surrounding him. When Fan Datou saw him, he showed no disgrace in his eyes and said through gritted teeth: "Wu Bingzhong, I didn't realize that you are so great!" Wu Bingzhong knew what he was talking about and subconsciously wanted to explain. But after thinking again, he swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth. He cannot show weakness at this time, otherwise even if he becomes the monitor, he will not have the authority to convince others. Wu Bingzhong made up his mind and said, "Old Fan, why are you doing this? It's not up to you to decide whether I'm a good person or not. The work is arranged by the organization. It's useless for you to blame me." "You~" Fan Datou was speechless for a moment. He didn't expect that Wu Bingzhong, who was usually listless, could also be so confrontational. This was equivalent to tearing the relationship apart. Wu Bingzhong had no scruples. He glanced at the people around Fan Datou and said in a gloomy way, "Lao Liu, Lao Wang, Da Zhang'er... do you also want to go to Workshop 4 with Lao Fan? If so, that's fine. I'll report to Chief Ning and transfer you guys there as well." These people were originally around Fan Datou, but when they heard this, they were all shocked. Going to workshop 4, what a joke! Although they are both in the Security Department, can the benefits of Workshop 4 be compared with those of the South Gate? The responsibility is so great that only a crazy person would go there. What's more, they followed Fan Datou not because they were willing to help him through thick and thin, but just drinking buddies. When they heard Wu Bingzhong's threat, they all took a step back and the atmosphere became a little awkward. The corners of Fan Datou's mouth twitched, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Wu Bingzhong, you can do it!" Without looking at anyone else, he picked up his things and strode away. …… At the same time, in Li Weibing's office. Li Peihang just came over and told Ning Weidong about sending Fan Datou to workshop four. Li Weibing said solemnly: "These are all tactical matters. They can't change the overall situation..." Li Peihang asked hurriedly: "Uncle, someone in the factory said yesterday that Wang Kaifeng would be back tomorrow. Is that true?" Li Weibing pursed his lips. Although he didn't answer, his attitude made Li Peihang's heart tighten. He hurriedly asked, "Is there really no other way?" Li Weibing sighed helplessly: "This time Wang Guoqiang risked everything and went to talk to his former leader. Not to mention me, even the Wang family and the Zhao family would find it difficult to withstand it!" Li Peihang was depressed. If Wang Kaifeng came back, where would he be? The factory had already held a meeting before, and he was promoted to deputy director, and Ning Weidong was promoted to deputy section chief. This is an established fact and it cannot be reversed. When Wang Kaifeng comes back, if the director of the Security Department is still there, Wang Kaifeng's situation will be very embarrassing. But the problem is that there is no director in the Security Department, and Wang Kaifeng's safe return is a natural step forward. At that time, the ones who will feel uncomfortable will be Li Peihang and Ning Weidong. And now, the only hope lies with Ning Weidong. Ning Weidong had vowed before that Wang Kaifeng would not come back. Until now, Li Peihang still couldn't figure out what methods he had. At this moment, Ning Weidong just received a call from Chu Zhongxin.

On the other end of the phone, Chu Zhongxin called out "Weidong", followed by a moment of silence. Ning Weidong knew that it must be a problem with Wang Kaifeng, so he took the initiative to ask, "Fourth brother, what's the situation now?" Chu Zhongxin said: "An old leader has said hello. If there is no new and stronger evidence, I will detain the person until tomorrow morning at most." Chu Zhongxin had promised two days before, which means before getting off work tomorrow night. Now it has been shortened to nearly ten hours, a whole day. There are only sixteen hours left in total. Ning Weidong was not particularly excited, and said in a deep voice: "Fourth brother, I understand. This matter must be resolved before tomorrow morning." When Chu Zhongxin heard the call was hung up, he felt inexplicably complicated. When he made this call, he had prepared a lot of words to persuade Ning Weidong, but he didn't expect Ning Weidong's reaction to be so indifferent, which surprised him. More importantly, even at this point, Ning Weidong hasn't given up! This made Chu Zhongxin feel a little complicated. Ning Weidong's calmness and tenacity were beyond his expectations. He thought that if it were him, he would have given up in the face of this situation. Because of this, he couldn't say the words to persuade Ning Weidong to give up on the phone just now. Let's wait and see what means Ning Weidong can use to turn the tide before tomorrow morning. …… Ning Weidong hung up the phone, took a deep breath, sat behind his desk, unconsciously took out a cigarette and lit it, looking at the dead branches on the treetops outside the window, without many thoughts or ideas in his mind. At this point, all possible preparations and arrangements have been completed. As for Zhang Dajun and Zhou Wu... success or failure depends on tonight! Unconsciously, Ning Weidong had empty the half pack of cigarettes in his pocket. He crumpled the red wrapping paper into a ball and threw it into the trash can. The sky outside the window darkened. Ning Weidong looked at the time and it was already past five o'clock. He was not in a hurry to get off work. Ning Weidong had no plans to go home today. He had to stay in the office and answer the phone to deal with possible accidents. At this time, Ning Wei knocked on the door and came in, holding two lunch boxes in his hands: "Third brother, you have something to eat first." Ning Weidong stood up, stretched his body, and asked, "Have you eaten?" Ning Wei said: "I've finished eating. I left a few minutes earlier." Ning Weidong hummed, went to the washbasin rack to wash his hands and started eating. At the same time, less than a kilometer away, two people rode their bicycles to the outside of the Red Star Factory cadres’ family compound. - Nine thousand words, please subscribe!
