Chapter 268 The Battle for the Acquisition of the Thermal Power Plant

Arrive at Li Tie's house.

Seeing my Maybach and the driver busily unloading gifts, I was quite surprised.

Then he stepped forward and asked, "Why are you carrying so much stuff?"

"I was away from home all last year and didn't have a chance to see the old man. It's a rare opportunity for me to come here, so this is my way of showing my appreciation."

"I'll help."

Xiao Qi stopped her in time, saying, "I can manage by myself. Mr. Li, please come inside with the boss. It's windy outside."

When Li Tie heard the words "General Manager Li," his expression turned somewhat bitter.

We went inside.

"Where is the old man?"

"I'm sleeping inside. My health has gotten worse since the New Year, and I spend most of my day sleeping."

"And you? You've been staying home the whole time, haven't you been doing anything?"

Li Tie shook his head.

"Didn't Zhang Luode and Zhao Zichu say they'd give you some business?"

"Zhao Zichu lost a lot of money last year, so I won't bother him."

"Zhang Luode is fine too. We can supply him with goods and guarantee payment. What's there to worry about?"

"I haven't even paid you back for the medical bills yet, and you want me to supply him with goods again? To use his money to do business with him and make money off him? Even a saint wouldn't have such a heart. I'm not going to bother him."

Li Tie has a very clear understanding of these things.

can only say,

The rope is broken at its thinnest point.

Misfortune seems to favor those who are destined for hardship.

"This isn't a solution."

Li Tie, his eyes red, said, "Tianyi, I'm not here to beg you today. I just want you to have a drink with me, okay?"

"What else is there? Come on, Xiao Qi, go buy some snacks to go with your drinks!"

"Okay, boss!"

"No need, we have some in the kitchen, I'll get it right away!"

"This dish is fine, let's grab one!"

They didn't drink much, and neither of them got drunk.

Seeing his father in this state, he dared not drink too much or get drunk.

I really wanted to ask who Li Tie called before he called me, but there's no need to ask; it would only add to the sadness.

Although the time was long, little alcohol was consumed.

It started snowing again late at night. Li Tie stood beside me in front of the car and said, "Thank you."

"Brother, there's plenty of time. Give me a call when you have some free time. I can help you, really!"

Li Tie waved his hand: "Get in the car."

Back in the house, Li Tie was tidying up the table alone, looking rather forlorn. When he saw the supplements I had bought, he smiled and carried them one by one into the old man's room: "Dad, Tianyi came to see you. You were asleep then, so I didn't wake you."

Carrying the box of canned yellow peaches, I felt the weight was off. When I opened it, I found a thick wad of cash.

Li Tie choked up again.

I am indifferent and don't think of ways to help Li Tie, but since Li Tie invited me to drink with him, I should naturally do something.

Human hearts are made of flesh and blood.

A week later.

The Discipline Inspection Commission frequently visits and leaves the Liancheng Thermal Power Plant.

Yu Hong sat in the chairman's office, also puzzled. What was going on after the New Year?

He was scared too.

Sitting in this position, no one's backside is clean.

I'm not afraid of your investigation, I'm just afraid you'll keep pressing me.

"Secretary Yu, the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection has been here for four days in a row. Even if they can't find anything, it's still not a good thing."

The speaker was Luo Feng, the discipline inspection committee member appointed by the power plant's Party Committee.

Yu Hong frowned. The thermal power plant had its own discipline inspection committee, and he wasn't very familiar with the comrades from the municipal discipline inspection commission. This situation must have been caused by someone reporting him, but he didn't know how much information the other party had.

"In principle, whoever is in charge is responsible, and the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection should not be able to directly interfere in our group's affairs."

Luo Feng also agreed with Yu Hong's point of view: "However, if someone reports something that involves too much, the Municipal Committee will designate the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection to participate in the jurisdiction!"

After some hesitation, Yu Hong finally picked up his phone and dialed an unknown number.

Phone call: "Section Chief Zhang, this is Yu Hong from the thermal power plant. I'd like to ask if there have been any problems at the thermal power plant recently?"

"I don't know."

"Why have the municipal discipline inspection commission officials come to my company to investigate multiple times? Shouldn't they coordinate and communicate with our discipline inspection commission?"

"I don't know."

"What you've done is a serious violation of regulations, and I will report this to my superiors!"

"It was our superiors who instructed us to investigate your company. Mr. Yu, you might as well ask our leaders."

If it were Luo Feng, the discipline inspection committee member of the thermal power plant, who were to conduct the investigation...

Everything is negotiable.

But now the investigation is being conducted by the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection.

The key point is that he served for 5 years.

Their background really can't withstand scrutiny.

I was anxious.

Luo Feng was even more anxious...

"Secretary Yu, let me go find my old classmate. He's the director of the office of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. He can try to get some information out of him."

"OK."

Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection.

office.

Luo Feng sat across from the desk, facing Han Lida, the newly appointed director of the Discipline Inspection Commission Office, who was young and at the same level as the chairman of the thermal power plant.

Congratulations on your promotion, old classmate!

"Hehe, Director Luo only comes here when he has something important to say."

"Don't be like that, my job as director isn't as comfortable as yours, Director Han's."

"Has it been two or three years since your last class reunion?"

"Not just that, these gatherings were held before the pandemic, and they've been going on for four or five years."

"Time flies, Lao Han, you chose the right path."

"Don't flatter me. Although we're not in the same department, we're both within the system and do similar jobs. You suddenly coming here must have something on your mind!"

Luo Feng looked puzzled: "You don't know?"

Han Lida shook his head: "You came here without even saying a word, how am I supposed to know what you want?"

"Our unit has been investigated by your discipline inspection commission for three or four days in a row, and you've been questioning everyone one by one. Now everyone is in a state of panic."

"I don't know anything about this. Besides, you have a state-owned background and your own discipline inspection department. We are only responsible for assisting and supervising, so it shouldn't be our responsibility."

Luo Feng was puzzled: "That makes sense, but if someone complains or reports to higher-ups, they will still send someone to investigate and verify it directly."

"Just wait. According to the procedure, I should receive the documents tomorrow and then send an assistance investigation letter to your company. At that time, you'll know what's going on."

We talked for ages about nothing of substance.

Luo Feng took his leave.

Back to the chairman's office at the thermal power plant.

"Hey Luo, how's the questioning going?"

"My old classmate seemed clueless when I asked him questions, but I suspect he knows the truth deep down. He said my workplace might receive a letter from the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection requesting assistance in the investigation tomorrow."

Yu Hong's expression turned grave: "Is there concrete evidence now?"

Luo Feng gritted his teeth: "Secretary Yu, how about I arrange a meeting with my old classmate tonight? Once the letter for assistance in the investigation arrives, some things simply can't be kept secret forever!"

Yu Hong wanted to wait a bit longer.

The more intense the situation, the better.

Taking the initiative is tantamount to giving yourself away.

Logically, Luo Feng and Yu Hong should have a supervisory relationship. However, the thermal power plant itself is a small unit, and the two work together year-round, so their interactions are naturally frequent. Although the thermal power plant has a state-owned asset background, it is operated in a market-oriented manner. Therefore, the two of them working together are basically the key to the thermal power plant.

"Okay, you make the appointment, I'll get things ready."
