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

Xu Damao nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Brother Lu, you are right."

Lu Ning thought for a moment and decided to take advantage of this opportunity. He said to Xu Damao, "Xu Damao, please continue to pay attention to this matter. If there is any new development, tell me immediately."

Xu Damao quickly agreed: "Okay, I will definitely pay close attention."

In the following days, Lu Ning continued to collect various information, and gradually, he became more and more familiar with the internal situation of the factory. He knew that he needed to find the right time and put forward some constructive opinions in order to truly gain the recognition of the management.

One day, Lu Ning decided to talk to Director Zhang. He went to Director Zhang's office and knocked on the door: "Director Zhang, I have some ideas about purchasing new equipment and I want to talk to you."

Director Zhang looked up at him and smiled, "Lu Ning, come in. Tell me what you think."

Lu Ning walked into the office, sat down and said, "Director Zhang, I understand that you and Director Li have some disagreements on the purchase of new equipment. I think your suggestion to introduce new foreign equipment is very far-sighted, which is very beneficial to the long-term development of our factory. But at the same time, we must also consider the cost issue. I suggest that we consider introducing it in stages, first purchasing some foreign equipment for trial operation, and then gradually expand the scale if the effect is ideal."

Director Zhang listened and looked thoughtful: "Your suggestion makes sense. This can not only control costs, but also gradually improve production efficiency. You are right. We do need to consider many aspects."

Lu Ning smiled and said, "Director Zhang, the development of the factory cannot be separated from your leadership. I believe that under your leadership, we will be able to overcome difficulties and achieve greater progress."

After returning to the courtyard.

Lu Ning slapped Xu Damao in the face. Xu Damao covered his face and dared not say a word. He could only endure the humiliation silently. The atmosphere in the courtyard became extremely solemn. Everyone held their breath and watched this scene.

Although Xu Damao was filled with anger and humiliation, he also knew that he was in the wrong. In addition, Lu Ning's power made him dare not resist. He clenched his teeth and his eyes were slightly moist, but he knew that at this moment he could only bow his head and admit his mistakes, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

"Brother Lu, I really know I was wrong, and I will never dare to do it again." Xu Damao spoke in a low voice with a hint of pleading.

Lu Ning looked at Xu Damao in front of him. Although he was still angry, he knew that slapping him a few times would not solve the fundamental problem. So he said coldly: "Do you know you are wrong? Then tell me, where did you go wrong?"

Xu Damao was stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded and said, "I shouldn't have flirted with Qin Huairu and shouldn't have done those dirty things. I will definitely change and never do it again."

Lu Ning stared at him, as if he wanted to see through his heart. Xu Damao felt guilty and lowered his head unconsciously. He knew that Lu Ning was a man of his word. If he made any mistakes again, it would not be as simple as a slap in the face.

"You'd better remember what you said today," Lu Ning said coldly, "If I find you doing anything immoral again, I won't give you another chance."

Xu Damao nodded quickly: "I'll remember, Brother Lu, I will definitely change it."

Lu Ning nodded and turned to leave. Xu Damao breathed a sigh of relief and slumped on the ground, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. He knew that he had escaped by luck this time, but he couldn't help feeling uneasy. When he returned home, he looked at his swollen face in the mirror, feeling mixed emotions.

From then on, Xu Damao became cautious in the courtyard and tried to avoid contact with Qin Huairu. The neighbors in the courtyard saw this and felt relieved. After all, no one wanted to see the courtyard in chaos every day.

Qin Huairu also noticed the change in Xu Damao. Although she was still a little wary of him, she gradually felt relieved when she saw him being so low-key. She knew that this was all thanks to Lu Ning's deterrence. Lu Ning had always been fair and strict in the courtyard, and with him around, everyone felt more at ease.

As the days passed, the courtyard returned to its former tranquility. Although Xu Damao still greeted people with a smile, he was more cautious in his heart. He knew that every move he made was under the watchful eyes of everyone, and if he was not careful, he would bring more trouble.

However, sometimes it is difficult to change human nature. Although Xu Damao became honest on the surface, his inner restlessness did not completely disappear. One night, he sat alone in the room, looking at the moonlight outside the window, and a trace of unwillingness rose in his heart. He recalled the things that happened in the past and couldn't help feeling a pity. But he also understood that he was no longer qualified to make mistakes, and if he was not careful, he would be doomed.

Life in the courtyard was still peaceful and orderly, everyone was busy with their own things, as if the unpleasant memories had been diluted by time. Lu Ning was still the fair and strict man, and his presence filled the entire courtyard with righteousness. Although Xu Damao was somewhat dissatisfied, he also knew that it was because of Lu Ning that he could live safely in this world.

Xu Damao gradually learned to restrain his desires. He began to participate in some community charity activities and tried to integrate himself into the collective. He knew that only in this way could he truly get rid of the shadow of the past and regain everyone's trust. Although this road is not easy, he is willing to try.

During these days, the relationship between Xu Damao and Lu Ning has also improved. Lu Ning is also relieved to see the changes in Xu Damao. Although he knows that it is not easy to change a person's nature, at least Xu Damao is willing to work hard, which is a good start.

Xu Damao's change also attracted the attention of other neighbors, and everyone began to have a new view of him. Although the past is still fresh in people's memory, seeing his current efforts, everyone gradually began to accept him. The atmosphere in the courtyard has become more harmonious, and everyone is working hard for a better life together.

All this made Xu Damao feel unprecedented ease and satisfaction. He knew that his life was moving in a new direction, and although this road was full of challenges, he was willing to stick to it. Past mistakes had become part of his growth, and now he was trying to become a better person.
