Chapter 108 Don’t Always Use Your Brain (, please subscribe! Please give me a monthly ticket!) Ning Weidong didn't know that as soon as they came across these files, they attracted some people's attention. But even if I knew, I wouldn't be too surprised, because these things are very sensitive. To some extent, you can even read some wind direction from it. Ning Weidong came here early in the morning to review the files of these accidents, and he had no intention of doing it secretly. Just like when Deputy Director Wang transferred him to Workshop 4, they were preparing to dig a hole and bury him. It was obvious and there was no need to hide it. Many times, everyone plays with their cards open, and only one or two real cards can be hidden. It was the whole morning when Ning Weidong and Chu Zhongxin came out of the Railway Security Department. After sitting on the sidecar motorcycle, Chu Zhongxin did not start the engine and leave immediately. Instead, he straddled the motorcycle, took out a cigarette and gave it to Ning Weidong, and asked, "You've been watching for the whole morning. What do you think?" Ning Weidong pursed his lips with a serious expression and made a "tsk tsk" sound.
He took out a lighter, lit it with a click and said, "I thought it was simple. This matter... is not easy to handle!" Chu Zhongxin raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect Ning Weidong to have this attitude. He originally thought that at Ning Weidong's age, he would be able to make decisions, command the country, and seize the opportunity to make rapid progress. There are so many loopholes that can be found in the seven file bags just now. Although the other party had covered the lid before, to be honest, it was not a very good job. In fact, in Chu Zhongxin's opinion, the work was a bit rough. If Ning Weidong makes a fuss about these things, as long as he can implicate Wang Kaifeng, he will definitely be in big trouble. But Ning Weidong considered more. Although Wang Yuzhen said it herself last night, his father told him to go ahead and do it. But you have to listen to what they say, especially when it comes to things like this. You can't just believe everything they say. Such fools often end up dying miserably. The reason why Wang's father said that was that he could not give in in front of his daughter. It's like when a man gets in a fight outside, even if he gets beaten black and blue, he still has to brag to his wife and children when he gets home about how badly he beat the guy. Secondly, there is also an implied meaning. I am asking you to go ahead and do your job, but as a young comrade, you must also be sensible and understand the situation and not act recklessly. Ning Weidong wasn’t sure whether the man from the Wang family thought so, but he would rather believe it than not. And from Ning Weidong's perspective, he didn't want him to be too involved in the struggle with Wang Kaifeng. Because once things become too big, they will be completely beyond his control, and he will likely be caught up in a game between two larger factions. By then, a little Karami like Ning Weidong might accidentally drown in it. Just like what happened to Xu Jinshan before, this was the case. So after reading those files, even though there were obviously many loopholes in them, Ning Weidong did not intend to find a breakthrough from this.
Instead, he stared at one of them, took a puff of his cigarette, paused, and then said, "Fourth brother, what do you think of the case before the Gregorian New Year last year?" Chu Zhongxin immediately thought of which case Ning Weidong was talking about. That was the only accident among the seven file bags that caused casualties. The accident happened just after passing the first checkpoint, more than 20 kilometers away. Two train attendants from the Red Star Factory died in work-related injuries in the accident. This incident did not cause much stir in the factory at first. The main reason was that it did not happen in the factory, so it did not cause as big a shock as Liu Xinwen’s death. However, the accident that cost two lives was handled too hastily. Chu Zhongxin asked: "You want to start with this case?" Ning Weidong said, "Yes, two lives were lost. I don't believe they can handle it perfectly. I guess it must be Wang Kaifeng who did it. Other things happened outside, so at most they would implicate him. But this happened in the factory. As long as we find any clues, it will definitely directly implicate Wang Kaifeng himself." Looking at Ning Weidong's determined expression, Chu Zhongxin nodded secretly. What Ning Weidong said just now were all the obvious reasons, but there is also a biggest reason that cannot be told. Among the things in these seven file bags, only these two lives can be brought to the table. The others seemed serious, but they were not something Ning Weidong could pry open. Perhaps in the future the things in those file bags would become bargaining chips for something, but that was definitely not now. Obviously Ning Weidong thought of it. This made Chu Zhongxin feel that Ning Weidong didn't look like he was 21 years old at all. Instead, he looked more like a veteran who had been immersed in the organization for many years. He seemed to see things more clearly than his brother Ning Weiguo. "Could it be that there were some high-ranking officials among the Ning family's ancestors, and they were born with these abilities?" This thought suddenly popped up in Chu Zhongxin's mind, but he shook his head secretly. When Ning Weiguo and Wang Yuzhen were dating, the Wang family had already investigated the Ning family's background. Although they could not be said to be poor peasants for eight generations, there was indeed no one in their family who studied and became an official. Chu Zhongxin said, "Since you have a direction, I won't say much. I will say hello to Da Jun later. If you need anything, you can go to him directly. He is our man and you can use him without worry." Ning Weidong nodded and said, "Thank you, Fourth Brother. I understand." This time, Chu Zhongxin made it clear that he was willing to share some resources with Ning Weidong. The last time I asked Ning Weidong to find Zhang Dajun, it was purely to discuss the matter, and Chu Zhongxin had no intention of sharing resources. Later, Ning Weidong found an excuse and treated Zhang Dajun to a meal at Donglaishun, but it was just to make him familiar with the crowd. It's no problem to just talk about finding a job for Bai Fengyu, but when it comes to mobilizing power and resources, Ning Weidong will definitely not be able to get it by asking Zhang Dajun. But today, with Chu Zhongxin's words, the situation is completely different. From now on, Ning Weidong can order the complete form of Zhang Dajun around, it means ordering, not begging. At this point, the two men finished their cigarettes. Chu Zhongxin kicked the motorcycle, rumbling and making a lot of noise, with a puff of black smoke, and went straight back to the Municipal Bureau. It was already noon when he arrived here. Ning Weidong had lunch in the canteen of the Municipal Bureau before riding away on his bike. It’s a bit cloudy today, as if it’s holding back snow. The gray sky gives people a depressing feeling.
Ning Weidong rode his bicycle and did not return to the factory, but went directly to Zhang Dajun's police station. One of the two train followers who died in the accident lived in Zhang Dajun's jurisdiction. This was also an important factor in Chu Zhongxin asking Zhang Dajun to cooperate with Ning Weidong again. …… At around 1:00 ., Ning Weidong arrived at Suifujing Police Station. "Brother Zhang~" He walked to Zhang Dajun's office with familiarity and called out first when he entered. Zhang Dajun just finished his meal and received a call from Chu Zhongxin. He knew what was going on and immediately came out to greet him: "Brother Ning~" He was more intimate than the last time Ning Weidong invited him to eat hotpot. Chu Zhongxin's phone call just now has already explained Ning Weidong's position, asking him to do his best. In Zhang Dajun's place, Ning Weidong at this moment had undergone a fundamental change from before. The two of them came to Zhang Dajun's office and sat down. Ning Weidong didn't waste any words and asked directly, "What did my fourth brother say just now?" Zhang Dajun nodded and said, "Brother, just tell me what we should do. I will obey your orders." "You can't say that." Ning Weidong said hurriedly: "Brother Zhang, you are an expert, and you still have to help me at the critical moment." After some simple pleasantries, Ning Weidong got down to business and took out a piece of paper from his pocket. "Brother Zhang, these two people, one is Lu Yong and the other is Zhan Shengli. Find out the details of their family after their death as soon as possible." Ning Weidong spread out the note, which contained the names of the two deceased drivers that he had copied from the file bag: "Lu Yong's household registration is in this area, and Zhan Shengli lives at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang..." Although they were out of Zhang Dajun's jurisdiction, Ning Weidong did not ask him if he could find out. This was not something Ning Weidong needed to worry about. Zhang Dajun has worked in the police station for more than ten years. If he can't even do this little thing, it would be a waste of his life. Taking the note, Zhang Dajun glanced at it quickly and nodded, "No problem, tomorrow..." Ning Weidong interrupted directly: "Can't wait until tomorrow, before getting off work tonight!" Zhang Dajun was startled. He didn't expect Ning Weidong to ask for it so urgently, but he gritted his teeth and nodded: "Okay!" Ning Weidong said "please" again, didn't stay with Zhang Dajun for long, and immediately returned to the factory. He has been away from the factory from last night to this afternoon. Although the other party should not make trouble before the above-mentioned confidential projects are implemented, we should not be too careless. What if Wang Kaifeng deliberately fed someone a mouthful of shit in advance? Although it would not be very lethal, it would still be disgusting. Ning Weidong rode his bicycle and quickly returned to the factory. Go to the factory office to find Li Peihang first. On the third floor, in the original office, Section Chief Chen and Feng Wen were not there, only Wen Aiying was reading the newspaper. Ning Weidong hurried over to Li Peihang's room and asked, "Brother Li, is there anything wrong today?" Li Peihang stood up and came forward and said, "Weidong, you are really patient! It's hard to find anyone in the whole morning at a time like this." Ning Weidong was certain that since Li Peihang was still in the mood to complain, it meant that nothing had happened.
He said with a smile: "Brother Li, hurry up and get me some water to drink. I have been busy since I got off work last night." Li Peihang was stunned for a moment, then reacted and quickly poured a glass of water in front of Ning Weidong: "What's going on? Tell me quickly." Ning Weidong picked up the teacup and took a sip of the lukewarm water, then said in a carefree manner: "Brother Li, don't worry, we are sure to win this round!" Ning Weidong definitely couldn't tell the truth to Li Peihang. The only true rule for winning support in a struggle is to make it seem like you can win. Only if you win can you get bonuses. Therefore, Li Peihang represents Li Weibing. If Ning Weidong wants to gain support from Li Weibing's faction in the future, he must show strong confidence. Didn't they think Ning Weidong would be dead if he jumped into the pit of Workshop 4? Now Ning Weidong wants to make them think that he is playing along with the enemy, that the Wang family and the Zhao family behind him are playing a big game, and that he is jumping into the trap on his own initiative, using himself as bait. Sure enough, Li Peihang took a deep breath and immediately asked questions. Ning Weidong smiled and said, "Brother Li, do you know who I met last night?" Li Peihang blinked his eyes. In fact, it was no secret that Ning Weidong called Zhao Ruyu last night. Then Zhao Ruyu called Zhao Lichun again, also using the phone number of their factory office. Li Peihang knew last night that Ning Weidong went to meet Zhao Ruyu's brother. But Zhao Lichun alone is not enough. But Ning Weidong swore that it was definitely not just Zhao Lichun. Ning Weidong didn't beat around the bush and said directly: "Brother Li, last night my brother, sister-in-law and I went to see my sister-in-law's father..." Li Peihang's face suddenly changed, and he suddenly realized something. Ning Weidong continued, "He told me personally that I should rest assured and go for it!" "No wonder, no wonder~" Li Peihang murmured, it turned out that Ning Weidong got this imperial sword. Considering the current position of the Wang family member, if he really wanted to go all out, the weight would be enormous. No one, whether it was Li Weibing's faction or Wang Guoqiang's side, would be able to withstand it. However, the Wang family’s focus has never been on the Red Star Factory. Are they going to take this opportunity to change their course? Li Peihang instinctively did not doubt the truth of what Ning Weidong said. Because in his opinion, this makes sense. If not for this, why would Ning Weidong dare to jump into Workshop 4 even though he knew it was a big pit dug by Deputy Director Wang? So that’s it! Thinking of this, Li Peihang was startled again. If that was the case, then his uncle had made a big mistake by making a deal with them and abandoning Ning Weidong in order to promote Chu Chengfu to deputy factory director! Thinking of this, Li Peihang couldn't help feeling very upset. Ning Weidong was watching from the side. Seeing his uncertain expression, he knew that the situation was almost heated, so he stopped adding fuel to the fire and asked, "By the way, Brother Li, what's going on over there with Wang Kaifeng?" Li Peihang was distracted and had no time to think about the huge amount of information Ning Weidong had just revealed. He groaned and came back to his senses: "Wang Kaifeng, there is no movement for the time being, but I heard that the progress of the general assembly is faster than expected. It was originally planned to be implemented in our factory in three days, but now it may be advanced by one day. The earliest, the personnel will come tomorrow afternoon, and a production work meeting will be held the day after tomorrow."
Ning Weidong remained calm on the surface, but he guessed in his heart that Director Wang must have made an effort, otherwise it would have been good enough if this matter had not been delayed, how could it have been brought forward. The other party's reaction was very sharp and he had already noticed that Ning Weidong was trying to race against time. Now both sides have tacitly understood the pattern of this game, that is, whether Ning Weidong can break the deadlock in advance before Director Wang is fully prepared. Time is the most critical factor. Ning Weidong was glad that he didn't let Zhang Dajun delay until tomorrow. …… At the same time, diagonally across the corridor was Wang Kaifeng’s office. "Ning Weidong just came back~" Wang Kaifeng listened to the phone with no expression on his face. He just said "hmm" and hung up. As the de facto head of the Security Department, Wang Kaifeng had considerable control over the factory. He received the report as soon as Ning Weidong returned. After hanging up the phone, Wang Kaifeng gritted his teeth, and subconsciously reached into the Go box on the table with one hand, squeezing the chess pieces inside. He knew that since Ning Weidong didn't come this morning, he must have been busy. If it were before, he wouldn't worry at all. In his opinion, as long as Ning Weidong stepped into the big pit of Workshop 4, he would be dead. However, Ning Weidong's dramatic moves the day before yesterday made him realize that the other party was not a pushover, and was even a bit tricky. At this time, Wang Kaifeng hoped to speed up the progress and wished that the personnel from the higher-level units would be in place immediately. Unfortunately, these were not something he, the deputy director of the Security Department, could influence. Even his superior Wang Guoqiang had to urge them and it was only with great difficulty that they were able to advance the time by half a day. The only good news now is that Ning Weidong doesn't have much time left, only a day and a half at most. However, at this moment, the phone on the table suddenly rang again. Wang Kaifeng frowned. He suffered from mild neurasthenia and hated this kind of phone ringing tone. "Hello~" I picked up the phone and immediately heard Wang Guoqiang's voice: "Come to my office." Then he hung up with a bang. Wang Kaifeng's heart shuddered, and he had a bad feeling. Normally, Wang Guoqiang rarely spoke in this tone. He did not dare to delay and immediately got up and went upstairs. When I arrived at Wang Guoqiang's office, I saw Wang Guoqiang standing by the window smoking with a serious expression and sinister eyes. Hearing the sound of the door, Wang Guoqiang turned around, put out his cigarette in the ashtray, and said in a deep voice: "Something may have happened on the railway!" Wang Kaifeng was startled, and quickly closed the door, took two steps forward, and asked, "What's going on?" Wang Guoqiang said, "Just now, Wang Haibo from the Road Administration Department called and said that someone from the Municipal Bureau came this morning to review the files of seven accidents that occurred from the end of the previous year to the present..." There was a flash of horror in Wang Kaifeng's eyes, but fortunately he was good at cultivating his Qi, and he calmed down immediately. After listening to Wang Guoqiang's explanation, he hurriedly asked, "Did they say what the reason was?"
Wang Guoqiang shook his head and said, "Qian Haibo doesn't know either. I only heard that a section chief from the Municipal Bureau led people there. He told us to be careful." Wang Kaifeng frowned and asked tentatively, "Uncle, could it be Ning Weidong?" Wang Guoqiang groaned: "This... shouldn't be possible~ Does he have such great power? Can he mobilize people from the Municipal Bureau?" Wang Kaifeng also felt that it was impossible. He just thought of Ning Weidong intuitively, and shook his head: "It's not him, then someone is going to do something big?" They both knew how serious the events behind these accidents were. If we start from this point, it will be no small matter. Wang Guoqiang pretended to look calm, but he was actually a little panicked. Because if there is a problem here, it will not be something he can control and deal with. He said in a deep voice: "Kaifeng, I remember that you have a classmate in the Municipal Bureau. Can you find a way to ask him?" Wang Kaifeng frowned and said, "This... I'm afraid it's difficult. His level is not high. If it's really this kind of thing, ordinary people can't get involved!" Wang Guoqiang nodded. He understood the situation in his heart, but he was just trying any possible means to cure his illness. However, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "No matter what, there can be no problems here. Go back and think carefully about it. If there are any loopholes, solve them as soon as possible." Wang Kaifeng responded, his mind a little confused. …… At the same time, Ning Weidong didn't know that he and Chu Zhongxin went to the Railway Security Bureau in the morning, which unexpectedly added a lot of pressure on Deputy Director Wang. After coming out of Li Peihang's room, he went straight back to the duty room of workshop 4. After the incident happened the night before, the factory held a meeting overnight, and the efficiency was really high. The additional staff from the Security Department have arrived, and the original duty room is definitely not enough, so they borrowed two rooms from the railway team. At the same time, Tian Zhengfu's movements were also not slow. It is obvious that Tian Zhengfu has some energy. In addition, this project is quite important. He personally ran around all day yesterday, and a squad of soldiers arrived today. Seeing this scene, Ning Weidong did not feel relieved. These people are just there to scare people, but they don't really have much effect. Throughout history, fortresses have always been breached from within, and these people are more of a smokescreen. The reason why Ning Weidong made such a big fuss was not only to gain the upper hand and win the first game to boost morale, but also for another purpose, which was to confuse Wang Kaifeng's side and make them think that he was going to defend Workshop 4 to the death. In fact, the real winner was already outside Workshop 4. The most important thing now is to race against time. Ning Weidong's thoughts flashed through his mind and he went straight into the duty room. Ning Wei and Liu Dong were inside, and they stood up immediately when they saw Ning Weidong. "Where is Old Xia?" Ning Weidong took off his coat and asked. Ning Wei said, "There are quite a few new people here. Old Xia is over there. Wang Weiran was on night shift yesterday and is catching up on his sleep."
Ning Weidong nodded. Although there were many new people, Ning Wei should take the opportunity to recruit some people. But Ning Wei is young and a newcomer, so even if Ning Weidong assigns him tasks, he can't expect those people to be convinced by him. Rather than doing that and getting it cooked, it would be better to let Xia Dongqiang go. After all, he is an old employee in the Security Department and is easier to talk to. Ning Weidong asked: "What's the latest news about He Yongbiao?" Ning Weidong had previously arranged for Ning Wei and Liu Dong to investigate He Yongbiao and pay attention to the subsequent situation. He Yongbiao got the information from Li Peihang, but Ning Weidong intuitively felt that this person was just a cover. At the critical moment, the real killer is someone else. But we can't be arbitrary. Now that we have this clue, we must take a look at it. Ning Wei said: "Third brother, this He Yongbiao really made some noise last night... Ning Wei never compromised on Ning Weidong's orders. Wang Xuewen and Zhao Chunming have been keeping an eye on him these past two days. Last time they were asked to keep an eye on Deputy Director Liu, but it was over in less than two days. But Ning Weidong was very clear about the money and paid it in full for one month as agreed upon. This made them both overjoyed, but also a little sorry. This time, as soon as they heard that there was something going on, they all came immediately. Last night, after get off work, He Yongbiao didn't go out to play poker. Instead, he went to a restaurant alone and had dinner with someone. When they got to the restaurant and the other person went into a private room, Wang Xuewen and the other man could no longer follow them. They didn't know who they met or what they said. After hearing the situation, Ning Weidong felt a little nervous. There is something fishy about this He Yongbiao. Although Ning Weidong initially thought that this person was a smokescreen, it is really an eyesore to leave him alone. Seeing Ning Weidong silent, Ning Wei sighed and whispered, "Third brother, how about sending him to the hospital to lie down for a few days?" Liu Dong's face changed slightly, and he clenched his fists. Without waiting for Ning Weidong to speak, he interrupted and said, "Leader, leave this matter to me. I guarantee that it will be done cleanly and neatly." Ning Weidong glanced at him. This Liu Dong was still too young and impatient. Trying to seize every opportunity to show yourself and win Ning Weidong's favor. But I didn't know that this was a taboo. Since Ning Weidong placed him next to Ning Wei, he is Ning Wei's man. But now he bypasses Ning Wei and shows his presence directly in front of Ning Weidong. If you meet someone who is petty, you can remember this. Ning Wei didn't have that idea. Firstly, he was too young. No matter how smart he was, he had no experience in some things.
Another thing is that Ning Wei almost treats Ning Weidong as his own brother, so he doesn't feel much competitive pressure. He was not worried at all that Liu Dong would replace him if he performed too well, because he had an innate advantage: he called Ning Weidong "third brother". But even without considering these, Ning Weidong would not let Liu Dong do such a thing. Because up to now, he has only initially accepted Liu Dong and has not yet truly trusted this person. Even if Liu Dong surrendered first, it takes time to build trust, and one or two things will definitely not be enough. How could I possibly entrust him with such a shameful task? Ning Weidong waved his hands and glared at Ning Wei: "Xiaowei, you must change your mindset! You are a factory worker now, not a street thug. Don't always think of such means." Ning Wei lowered his head and responded quickly. Ning Weidong continued: "There are many ways to achieve a goal. We must learn to use the resources we have instead of just doing it blindly. Do you understand?" As he spoke, Ning Weidong also glanced at Liu Dong. This kid was ambitious, smart, and able to seize opportunities. He would be useful in the future. Ning Weidong raised his hand and nodded at him: "You too, use your brain. Doesn't He Yongbiao like playing poker? Ask someone to ask him to play today..." Ning Weidong looked at Liu Dong and said, "I have been in Workshop 4 for so long, this shouldn't be difficult~" Liu Dong nodded hurriedly: "Leader, there is a guy who always plays poker with He Yongbiao and has a good relationship with me." Ning Weidong nodded and said, "Hasn't the higher-ups assigned us some people? They're all from the Security Department. Don't be idle. Catch gamblers at night and hand them over to the police directly..." Liu Dong's heart trembled. Compared with what he and Ning Wei had just thought of, to use dirty tricks or hit the opponent with a club, Ning Weidong's move was much more ruthless. If he was hit with a club, he would just have to stay in the hospital for a few days at most. But if Ning Weidong did what he did, and he really ended up in the police station, it would be a serious problem. And you don't have to dirty your hands. Ning Wei said: "Third brother, I understand." Ning Weidong nodded. There was no need to waste time and energy figuring out whether a man like He Yongbiao was a human or a ghost. Since you have doubts, just eliminate it as an uncertain factor. Although there may be accidental injuries, this is the principle of struggle. If you are too soft-hearted and waste time and resources on such trivial matters, you will end up losing everything. After dealing with He Yongbiao, Ning Weidong raised his hand to check the time. It was already past two o'clock. I don’t know what the situation is on Zhang Dajun’s side, but the key now is still Lu Yong and Zhan Shengli. But at this moment, the phone rang. Ning Wei went over to pick up the phone, then looked at Ning Weidong: "Third brother, it's Lu Zhou, he wants to see you." Ning Weidong raised his eyebrows and went over to pick up the receiver: "Hello, this is Ning Weidong." Lu Zhou's voice came from the other side: "I saw you just now, come out and see me, I have something to say."
Ning Weidong asked in a deep voice: "Where?" After Xu Jinshan died last time, Lu Zhou was forced to seek refuge with Ning Weidong, but since then, without any further contact, Ning Weidong was forced to jump into the big pit of Workshop 4. I didn't expect that Lu Zhou would choose to come at this time. The person on the other end of the phone said, "The toilet on the second floor of the factory office." Then he hung up. Ning Weidong was stunned for a moment. Lu Zhou was really good at choosing a place. The factory office and the Women's Federation are on the second floor. There are more women there. The men's restroom is on the east side and the women's restroom is on the west side. Usually there are almost no people in the men's restroom. Ning Weidong was a little curious about what Lu Zhou could want from him at this time. Lu Zhou is a capable person, but he has some character flaws. In addition, his facial paralysis caused by an injury makes him seem difficult to communicate with. Ten minutes later, Ni Weidong returned to the factory office and came to the east side of the second floor. The toilet door was open, with a white half curtain hanging on it. There is a urinal on the right side of the room and a half-high cement cubicle on the left side. At that time, even the toilets in the building did not have independent ceramic squat toilets, but instead a long, sloped cement pit with a large water tank at one end, which would release water for flushing at regular intervals. Because it is inside a building, the cleaning staff cleans quite frequently, and there are not many people coming, so the inside is clean. However, it also smells quite pungent, a stench mixed with a hint of smoke. "Here~" Hearing the cough, Lu Zhou flashed out from the wall inside the door, with his signature expressionless face and a cigarette in his mouth. Ning Weidong walked in and made way for him with a cigarette in his hand. Ning Weidong took a quick look and took out a Huazi from his pocket: "Take mine." Lu Zhou Yi looked at it and gave a somewhat stiff chuckle. Although he had facial paralysis, he could still smile, but it was a little unnatural. Ning Weidong lit up a cigarette and asked straight to the point: "What's going on?" Lu Zhou took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Ning Weidong, I really underestimated you before. This time you played a great trick in Workshop 4." Ning Weidong curled his lips, not paying attention to Lu Zhou's compliment, and waited for his next words. Lu Zhou continued: "But this is not enough. Wang Kaifeng has many backup plans in Workshop 4..." Ning Weidong narrowed his eyes slightly, and when he heard Lu Zhou stop talking about the key point, he knew that he wanted to wait for a good price. Ning Weidong said: "Old Lu, you are a smart man. Do you remember what you said to me last time?" Lu Zhou pursed his lips and said nothing. Ning Weidong continued: "If you want to make progress, you must understand your position and stop using your brain all the time." Lu Zhou frowned. Ning Weidong said: "You are a retired soldier from the army. You are already a cadre and you are not weak in ability. You have worked diligently over the years. Why can't you be promoted? Have you ever thought about it?" Lu Zhou's mouth twitched, his eyes were uncertain, and he was silent for two seconds before saying, "You say."
Ning Weidong said, "It's because you always like to use your brain when doing things. Having a brain is a good thing, but it depends on how you use it. Does your leader need you to have a brain? If you have a brain, what would you let your leader do?" Lu Zhou was speechless. Ning Weidong continued, "Compare a unit to a person. There can only be one brain, and that is the leader. The others are tools, hands, feet, eyes, and noses. Do you understand? The only thing that cannot be the brain is the leader." (End of this chapter)
