Of course, if you go in to get some tea, you'll also bring some good cigarettes for Director Wang to smoke.
Lei Tingjun could get the latest information about the factory's policies and market trends from Director Wang immediately.
That's why he thrived among his brothers; his personal charisma was well-deserved.
Over time, Lei Tingjun also vaguely learned from Director Wang that he and Deputy Director Zuo did not get along well, that the other party did not respect him, and that he could not really command Deputy Director Zuo.
But this time, Director Wang clearly made it clear that he was willing to help them.
If that's the case, how can Deputy Director Zuo still be so arrogant? Is he planning to directly confront Director Wang?
Who is the powerful backer and influential figure behind Deputy Director Zuo?
Lei Tingjun racked his brains but couldn't think of anyone, because his limited perspective from working in the lower-level workshops meant he wasn't clear enough about the intricacies between the upper-level leaders.
But his strength lies in his keen insight; he grasped the key point immediately—behind the unusual attitude of Deputy Director Zuo must be a powerful backer who can influence Director Wang's words.
So he asked Zhou Peng, "When you went to the hospital, did you notice any other people with Zuo Quangui?"
Zhou Peng thought for a moment and said, "We didn't see anyone, but when we went there, we saw some fruit and canned food piled up by Zuo Quangui's bedside. Someone else must have visited him before we arrived."
Lei Tingjun nodded, "That's it."
Canned fruit is a rare commodity that ordinary families cannot easily afford.
He immediately instructed, "These next two days, you will take turns staking out the hospital and see who is visiting Zuo Quangui. Write everything down and come back to me."
Sun Xiaojun and the others didn't understand why their boss was doing this.
But they always obeyed Boss Lei's orders without question, so without asking why, they simply nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll find a few brothers to make the arrangements."
After listening to this, Lao Xiao, who had been sitting silently in the corner, suddenly spoke up: "Brother Lei, instead of sending people to stake out the hospital, I think it would be better to stake out the staff compound. I think the key point is still with that Deputy Director Zuo. Let's see who he's been spending the most time with these past few days, or we can find out who his backer is."
Lei Tingjun's eyes suddenly lit up. That's it!
He smiled and glanced at Lao Xiao: "You're right. Zhou Peng, I'll leave this to you. Find a few brothers to keep an eye on things at the entrance of the staff compound and see which leader Deputy Director Zuo is close to when he comes and goes from get off work."
At this moment, Lei Tingjun suddenly understood why he preferred to talk to Lao Xiao about certain things rather than to Sun Xiaojun or Zhou Peng.
Because Lao Xiao is actually quite rational when it comes to things.
Because of his frail physique and poor family background, he had always been a marginal figure in society. If it weren't for Lei Tingjun protecting him, he would definitely not fit in with his brothers.
Even though Lei Tingjun protected him and helped him integrate, he couldn't participate in many things. For example, when it came to fighting, given his coughing every few days, let alone fighting, he probably would need someone to take care of him if he went out.
It is precisely because of this that Lao Xiao, with his perspective of being both involved and detached, is often able to view things more objectively and fairly.
Although their innate insight is different from Lei Tingjun's, they often arrive at similar conclusions on the same issue.
Just like now, as soon as Lei Tingjun ordered people to stake out the hospital, Lao Xiao immediately realized Lei Tingjun's plan and then thought of Deputy Director Zuo, promptly filling in the gaps for Lei Tingjun.
But Sun Xiaojun finally expressed his concern: "Boss, if this matter really can't be calmed down, then..."
Lei Tingjun waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to worry: "Don't worry, even if the sky falls, I'll hold it up."
Sun Xiaojun choked up: "Boss, I knew it, we didn't follow the wrong person."
Lei Tingjun patted his brother on the shoulder: "Don't say such formal things."
When night fell, Lei Tingjun voluntarily switched shifts with someone else.
The night shift pays more than the day shift pays. Lei Tingjun is energetic, unlike others who can't handle working two or three night shifts in a row.
He's different; when he's short of money, he'll specifically volunteer to work the night shift.
He left one of the two review materials for Lao Xiao to read in the dormitory, and took the other one to the workshop, where he would sneak in a little study time between work.
For Ji Wanmei's sake, he must get into university!
