Siheyuan: Kill Jia Dongxu at the beginning and kill the deaf old lady

However, Lu Ning threatened Xu Damao to tell others and publicize Xu Damao's atrocities.

Xu Damao was immediately frightened.

Lu Ning sneered, looking at Xu Damao's pale face, and a sense of satisfaction rose in his heart. Xu Damao usually relied on his little power to point fingers at the people in the courtyard, but he didn't expect that he would fall into his own hands today.

"Xu Damao," Lu Ning's voice was deep and powerful, "Do you know what the consequences will be if what you have done is exposed?"

Xu Damao shuddered, and cold sweat flowed down his forehead. He couldn't imagine what would happen to him if his threat to Qin Huairu was exposed. He could only bite the bullet and nod: "Brother Lu, I know I was wrong, please don't report me. I will listen to you in the future and never dare to mess around again."

Lu Ning nodded with satisfaction. He knew Xu Damao would give in. Now that he had been frightened, the next step was to consider how to take advantage of this opportunity.

"Xu Damao," Lu Ning said slowly, "You hold a high position in the factory and usually have a lot of sources of information. I need you to help me find out some things."

Xu Damao nodded quickly: "Brother Lu, you tell me, I will do it."

Lu Ning looked at Xu Damao's terrified face and couldn't help but sneer in his heart. This man is really a coward. He will do anything as long as he is threatened.

"Has anything major happened in the factory recently? Especially related to management."

Xu Damao thought for a moment and said carefully, "Recently, the factory has been discussing a new production plan, and it seems that they want to expand the production scale. The management has held several meetings, but I am not sure about the specific content. However, I heard that the factory director Zhang and the deputy factory director Li have had some conflicts recently, and the two have argued several times in the meeting."

Lu Ning listened carefully and nodded: "Very good, this information is very useful to me. You continue to pay attention to this matter, and tell me immediately if there is any new development."

Xu Damao quickly agreed: "Okay, okay, I will do it."

Lu Ning looked at him with satisfaction and said, "Remember, from now on you have to listen to me. If I find out that you are doing something behind my back or want to take revenge on me, I will let you have a taste of what it feels like to be reported."

Xu Damao was so scared that he nodded repeatedly: "No, no, I absolutely don't dare. Brother Lu, don't worry, I will definitely listen to you."

Lu Ning nodded and turned to leave the courtyard. He knew that he had already got hold of Xu Damao's handle, and Xu Damao would not dare to disrespect him in the future. As for Qin Huairu, he also had to comfort her, after all, this incident was caused by her.

After returning home, Lu Ning sat at the table and thought about his next plan. He wanted to use Xu Damao's information channels to gradually understand the factory's trends, especially the conflicts among the management. This information was very important to him.

The next morning, Lu Ning came to Qin Huairu's door and knocked gently. After a while, Qin Huairu opened the door and saw that it was Lu Ning. She was surprised and said, "Brother Lu, what do you want to talk to me about so early?"

Lu Ning smiled and said, "Qin Huairu, I want to talk to you about something."

Qin Huairu nodded, let Lu Ning in, made a cup of tea and handed it to him: "Brother Lu, what's the matter?"

Lu Ning took the teacup and said slowly, "I already know about Xu Damao's threat to you yesterday. I want to tell you that he won't dare to bully you again."

Qin Huairu was stunned for a moment, then showed a grateful look: "Brother Lu, thank you so much. Xu Damao is a bully, and I really can't do anything to him."

Lu Ning waved his hand: "No need to thank me, we are all neighbors in the same courtyard, and it is only natural for us to help each other. However, I hope you can be more careful in the future and not let others catch you easily."

Qin Huairu nodded: "I understand, Brother Lu, I will be careful."

Lu Ning took a sip of tea and continued, "Also, I hope you can do me a favor. I have already controlled the matter of Xu Damao, but I need more inside information. Do you have any acquaintances in the factory who can help me get some information?"

Qin Huairu thought for a moment and said, "I have several female worker friends in the factory. They usually talk about things in the factory. I can try to find out."

Lu Ning nodded with satisfaction: "Then thank you for your help. Remember, don't let others know that you are asking for information, and be careful."

Qin Huairu quickly agreed: "Brother Lu, don't worry, I will be careful."

Lu Ning nodded and stood up to say goodbye. After leaving Qin Huairu's house, he was thinking about how to use this information to gain greater benefits for himself. Although Xu Damao was a small character, his information channels were very valuable. As long as he operated properly, his position in the factory would be steadily improved.

In the next few days, Xu Damao followed Lu Ning's instructions and began to inquire about various news in the factory. Lu Ning also got a lot of valuable information through Qin Huairu's friends. Gradually, he understood more and more about the situation in the factory and began to make his own plans.

One day, Lu Ning met the factory director, Director Zhang, in the factory. Director Zhang had always had some impression of Lu Ning, so when he saw him, he smiled and said hello: "Lu Ning, how is your work recently?"

Lu Ning smiled and said, "Director Zhang, everything is going well at work. I heard recently that the factory is going to expand its production scale. I wonder what the specific plans are?"

Director Zhang nodded: "Yes, the factory is formulating a new production plan. We are going to introduce some new equipment to improve production efficiency. However, this plan is still in the discussion stage and we need opinions from all sides."

Lu Ning nodded: "Director Zhang, this plan is very important to the development of the factory. If you need any help, I will fully support you."

Director Zhang smiled with satisfaction: "Very good, with employees like you, the development of the factory will definitely be better."

Lu Ning was secretly delighted, knowing that he had begun to gain recognition from the management. Next, he had to continue collecting information, find the right time, and put forward some constructive suggestions to further improve his position.

One night, Lu Ning returned home and had just sat down when Xu Damao hurried over. He looked nervous and said as soon as he entered the door, "Brother Lu, there is big news!"

Lu Ning was stunned, and quickly asked Xu Damao to sit down: "Don't be anxious, talk slowly."

Xu Damao took a breath and whispered, "Recently, there has been news in the factory that Director Zhang and Director Li are having a growing conflict. It seems that it is because of the purchase of new equipment. Director Zhang advocates the introduction of new equipment from abroad, while Director Li believes that domestic equipment can also do the job. The two have been arguing over this issue."

Lu Ning listened carefully and nodded: "This is indeed a big problem. If Director Zhang can introduce new equipment from abroad, it will be of great benefit to the development of the factory, but it will cost a lot of money. And Director Li's opinion makes sense. Domestic equipment is low-priced and easy to control costs."
