Siheyuan: The beauty Xueru Huizhen, the birds are jealous

Yang Ming ignored Liu Haizhong's attitude. He walked straight to Xu Damao and said in an unquestionable tone: "Xu Damao, I know about the matter between you and Deputy Director Nie. Now, I need you to tell me the whole situation."

Xu Damao was shocked by Yang Ming's momentum. He said in a trembling voice: "I...I really don't know what you are talking about."

Yang Ming smiled slightly, reached out his hand and gently patted Xu Damao on the shoulder, saying: "Don't be nervous, I won't do anything to you. As long as you tell me the truth, I will guarantee your safety."

Under Yang Ming's influence, Xu Damao finally told all about Deputy Director Nie's actions against the Lou family. After hearing this, Yang Ming frowned, and his dissatisfaction and vigilance towards Deputy Director Nie became stronger.

After returning home, Yang Ming sat at his desk and calmly analyzed the situation. He knew that he could not just turn the table over in the officialdom, and that he needed to abide by certain rules and etiquette. However, he could not just sit back and let Deputy Director Nie do whatever he wanted.

At this moment, Liu Guangtian came into Yang Ming's sight. He had been observing Yang Ming's actions from a distance, secretly admiring him. He realized that this might be his chance to get close to Yang Ming and gain his appreciation. So he took the initiative to step forward and expressed his loyalty and willingness to serve Yang Ming.

Yang Ming looked at Liu Guangtian, with a flash of admiration in his eyes. He assessed Liu Guangtian's ability and value, and thought he might be a useful chess piece. So, he waved to Liu Guangtian, motioning him to come over.

"Liu Guangtian, I think you are a smart man." Yang Ming said calmly, "How much do you know about Deputy Director Nie's affairs?"

Liu Guangtian was shocked when he heard this. But he quickly regained his composure and replied, "I know a little, but not much. If you need, I can try my best to find out."

Yang Ming nodded and said, "Very good. I need you to help me collect more information about Deputy Director Nie. At the same time, if there is a chance, you can also help me perform some tasks."

Liu Guangtian was very excited after hearing this. He knew that he had finally gained Yang Ming's appreciation and trust. He replied solemnly: "Yes! I will do my best to complete the task you assigned me!"

"Guangtian, do you hate your father?" As soon as Yang Ming finished speaking, Liu Guangtian stopped the hoe in his hand suddenly. He raised his head, a trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes, followed by deep hatred.

"Hate, of course I hate him?" Liu Guangtian said gritting his teeth, "He only has my eldest brother in his eyes. Guangfu and I are just punching bags in his eyes. He beats and kicks us when we are not satisfied. I wish I could stay away from this home and never come back."

Yang Ming sighed. He knew the situation of Liu Haizhong's family and Liu Guangtian's situation in this family. Liu Haizhong favored his eldest son Liu Guangqi and beat or scolded Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu. Liu Guangtian, in particular, often had scars on his body. But in this era, it was natural for a father to beat his son, and outsiders had no right to interfere.

"Guangtian, I understand how you feel." Yang Ming patted Liu Guangtian on the shoulder, "But you haven't graduated from high school yet, and you can't find a job if you go out. How are you going to support yourself?~"

Liu Guangtian was silent. He knew that Yang Ming was telling the truth. Although he hated his father, he couldn't just leave him like this.

Ran away from home, after all, he was not able to support himself.

"I have a solution." Yang Ming suddenly said, "Do you have any friends you can trust?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Liu Guangtian looked at Yang Ming puzzledly.

"I want you and your friend to help me with something." Yang Ming lowered his voice, "If you do it well, I can help you get a job in the steel mill."

.........

"Really?" Liu Guangtian asked excitedly, "As long as I can leave this home, I'm willing to do anything!"

"Okay." Yang Ming nodded, "I want you to help me monitor someone, Deputy Director Nie. Tell me everything he does and who he contacts."

"Why?" Liu Guangtian asked puzzledly.

"Know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles." Yang Ming explained, "Deputy Director Nie is our steel mill's competitor, and his dynamics are very important to us. As long as you help me collect this information, I will be able to deal with his challenge."

Liu Guangtian was silent for a moment, then nodded firmly: "Okay, I promise you. In order to leave this home and work in the steel mill, I will complete the task at all costs!"

Yang Ming looked at Liu Guangtian's determined eyes and could not help but feel respect in his heart. He knew that although this young man came from a poor family, he had an indomitable spirit and firm belief. He believed that if Liu Guangtian was given a chance, he would definitely become the backbone of the steel mill.

"Okay, I believe you." Yang Ming patted Liu Guangtian on the shoulder, "Remember, you must be careful and don't expose yourself."

"Don't worry, I will." Liu Guangtian said confidently.

"Brother Yang Ming, we need a plan." Liu Guangtian walked into the office hurriedly with a bit of anxiety on his face.

Yang Ming turned around and smiled: "Guangtian, I know what you are worried about. But remember, it is better to open up than to block. What we need is to grasp the power that can change the situation."

Liu Guangtian nodded, but there was still confusion in his eyes: "Then what should we do?"

"The workers' picket team is our key." Yang Ming's voice was firm and powerful. "I want you to personally monitor Deputy Director Nie and find out his weaknesses."

Liu Guangtian took a deep breath. He knew it was a difficult task, but he also understood that it was for the future of the entire steel mill. He nodded, turned around and left the office.

In the following days, Liu Guangtian and his friends began the arduous surveillance work. They took turns guarding the door of Deputy Director Nie's house, observing his whereabouts and paying attention to his actions. They worked almost without sleep, and gradually discovered some clues by relying on their familiarity with the streets near the steel mill and their sensitivity to gossip.

"Brother Yang Ming, I noticed that Deputy Director Nie has been meeting with a stranger frequently recently." Liu Guangtian reported to Yang Ming excitedly.

"Oh? Who is it?" Yang Ming raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Not sure, but it seems very mysterious. They always meet late at night and are always hiding," Liu Guangtian replied.

Yang Ming pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, continue monitoring. Remember, don't alert the enemy."

As time went by, the news that Deputy Director Nie was about to take office began to spread in the steel mill. Many people began to change their minds and showed their favor to Deputy Director Nie. However, Yang Ming remained calm about this, as he knew there must be a bigger conspiracy behind this.
