Chapter 53: The morale of the team is scattered and it is difficult to lead the team Ning Weidong didn't expect that Wang Zipeng would take the initiative to ask him out. Wang Zipeng was doing well in the factory, his wife was also a state-owned worker, and his family was fairly well off. Although he was doing OK in the compound, he looked down on other people. It was not until the past two years, when Ning Weiguo became a cadre, that Wang Zipeng changed his attitude towards Ning Weiguo and his wife. But it was just Ning Weiguo, he still looked down on Ning Weidong. Unexpectedly, somehow, Ning Weidong caught the eye of Section Chief Li. Ning Weidong got off work at four o'clock, and Wang Zipeng also pushed the cart out an hour earlier. The two of them rode their bicycles outside the factory gate. Wang Zipeng smiled and said, "How about having hotpot and boiled pork tonight?" Ning Weidong said: "That's great, Brother Wang, please be fair." ……

There were only the two of them for this meal, and they didn't go home until seven in the evening. Seeing Wang Zipeng, who was 70% drunk, enter the backyard, Ning Weidong's mind was still very clear. His strong physique made him drink more. Wang Zipeng has a good alcohol tolerance. Just now, the two of them each drank a bottle of Erguotou, and Wang Zipeng was still able to ride his bicycle in a straight line. Although Ning Weidong felt dizzy after drinking, he sobered up after a few sips of the hot soup with boiled pork and broke out in a sweat. At the dinner table, Wang Zipeng started to criticize Zhou Kun and speak up for Ning Weidong, just using yesterday's incident as an excuse. After three rounds of drinks, the topic gradually shifted to the factory. Wang Zipeng knows all the relationships among people in the factory and some people's opinions and views like the back of his hand. If it were an ordinary young man, he would think it was just a normal chat and would not know the hidden tricks behind it. These seemingly casual chat topics, Wang Zipeng will tell someone tomorrow morning. That person will roughly judge Ning Weidong's position based on these answers. Being cunning, ambiguous and refusing to express one's opinion may seem the safest approach, but it is actually the stupidest. This attitude implies two subtexts: first, distrust and unwillingness to express an attitude; second, being a fence-sitter, waiting to see which way the wind blows. But no matter which one it is, it will bring the most unfavorable consequences. If this temptation is based on a certain position or a certain project, and you want to promote or train the person, when you encounter this kind of answer, it will be crossed out directly. Wang Zipeng may still have held on to his original impression and tried too directly. As soon as he asked the first real question, Ning Weidong understood what was going on and was certain that Wang Zipeng was sent by Li Peihang to find out the truth. Later, at some point, Li Peihang would suddenly ask a question that Wang Zipeng had asked, to see how Ning Weidong would react and how he would answer... After putting away the bicycle, Ning Weidong entered the upper room: "Brother, sister-in-law~" Ning Weiguo and his wife were listening to the news on the radio.

Ning Weiguo smiled and said, "You're back~ Where did Wang Zipeng invite you to go?" Before leaving get off work, Ning Weidong called Ning Weiguo and said he would not be going home for dinner. Wang Yuzhen stood up, made a cup of hot tea, and placed it in front of Ning Weidong: "Weidong, why did Wang Zipeng think of inviting you to dinner?" Ning Weidong said: "Why else? Someone asked him to invite you~" Ning Weiguo raised his eyebrows: "You mean~ Li Peihang?" Ning Weidong nodded. Ning Weiguo pursed his lips and thought for a moment: "Ordinarily, it's only him, but this is too hasty, which is not like his style." Ning Weidong's understanding of Li Peihang is limited, but what Ning Weiguo said is probably correct. Wang Yuzhen, who was standing by, looked at Ning Weidong with new eyes, and even felt that it was a little unreal. It was not easy for Ning Weidong to connect Wang Zipeng and Li Peihang together. At least Ning Weiguo, at his age, doesn't see these things so clearly. After talking for a few more words, Ning Weidong went back to the house. Wang Yuzhen took the teacup and rinsed it, then said to Ning Weiguo, "What do you think Li Peihang meant?" Ning Weiguo was also thinking about this question, and said thoughtfully: "It seems that someone has targeted Xu Jinshan, and it must have hit his sore spot." Wang Yuzhen nodded in agreement and continued, "I heard that the deputy director who was newly transferred to the Red Star Factory last year is quite powerful, and Li Weibing is under a lot of pressure. Yesterday, his wife called our mother and said she wanted to come over to visit." Ning Weiguo suddenly realized that he had not known about this situation before: "That's it, in this case... Li Peihang should be planning to use Weidong to break the situation." Wang Yuzhen couldn't help but worry: "Break the situation? Will there be any danger?" Ning Weiguo said: "That's not the case. It's just a factory, not a battlefield. It's good this way. If Weidong wants to stand out, he must have a position. If they weren't under so much pressure, I'm afraid they wouldn't easily give Weidong this opportunity." Wang Yuzhen hesitated for a moment and reminded: "This is indeed an opportunity, but I'm afraid it may be a trick. You have to remind Weidong not to leave any handle behind." …… On the other side, Ning Weidong returned to the earthquake shelter. I don’t know where he went during the day, but Ning Lei actually fell asleep first. The stove in the room was burning warmly. Ning Lei's cotton shoes were placed next to the stove to dry, and moisture was coming out of them. Ning Weidong's mouth twitched, and he could only take off his shoes and put them next to the stove to dry, as a way of fighting poison with poison. He took off his coat, washed up briefly, and lay down on the bed. The not-so-strong wooden bed creaked again. Ning Weidong folded his hands behind his head, leaned against the cold wall, and kept thinking in his mind. He had a hunch that Li Peihang would come to him again soon. Then he thought of Xu Jinshan's situation.

Based on the current situation, there is obviously a chain behind Xu Jinshan that can generate huge profits. Li Peihang is involved here, but it is hard to say whether Li Weibing knows about it. But as long as Li Peihang is brought out, it will be enough to become a dagger to stab Li Weibing. This is the purpose of the person behind Wu Bingzhong. The matter ultimately pointed to the game between Li Weibing and Wang Guoqiang. Ning Weidong didn't care about the outcome of their wrestling. With Ning Weiguo's relationship with the Wang family, no matter who won or paid in the end, no one would touch him. First, the grasshopper was too small to be worth it at all, and touching it would offend Ning Weiguo, the son-in-law that Wang Yuzhen's family had focused on training. Second, within the Red Star Factory, the dispute between Li Weibing and Wang Guoqiang for the position of president and deputy president was not a life-and-death struggle, but in the end, they had to maintain a state of fighting but not breaking up. Although Wang Guoqiang is strong, as a deputy, directly overthrowing the squad leader is not a good thing for his future development. Li Weibing’s biggest problem is his age. Age is a hurdle that no one can overcome. Once you get older, there’s no guarantee that the people around you will have some ideas. Those who are ambitious will try to climb higher branches or set up their own business; those who are not ambitious or lack the ability will think about how to make use of the last opportunity to cash in the resources in their hands and leave. In other words, people's morale has dropped and it is difficult to lead the team. (End of this chapter)
