Chapter 1343 Once is Enough
Zhou Zechuan couldn't understand why it was Cen Fuyao.
He was silent in the office for a long time before calling Xiao Liu in.
"Leader, you are looking for me."
Xiao Liu gently knocked on the office door, stood at the door and greeted everyone.
"Come on, come in and talk."
Zhou Zechuan waved his hand, and his attitude became unusually gentle, which made Xiao Liu very uncomfortable.
"Let it go, don't be busy."
Seeing Xiao Liu come in and reach out to test his teacup, he was about to refill the tea, but he waved his hand again.
"It's okay, just say yours."
Xiao Liu was nervous, not knowing what his leader was going to do next. Although he was nervous, he looked calm.
He held the teacup and walked to the tea cabinet to refill it with hot water. His movements were skillful and natural, and Zhou Zechuan nodded in his heart.
What a good seedling, what a pity.
What a pity? It's a pity that he is in the middle of a crisis, and there is no big promise of promotion at this time.
Otherwise, he must train Xiao Liu well as the first piece of the puzzle for him to take root in Red Star Steel Group and build his own base.
Now forget about the puzzle, he is like a clay Buddha crossing the river, he can’t save himself, and the pie he draws needs people to believe in it.
"Xiao Liu, which group did you join?"
Seeing Xiao Liu coming back with the teacup, Zhou Zechuan looked at him calmly.
"Boss, you are asking me when I came to the Red Star Factory, right?"
Xiao Liu made a special correction and placed the teacup in his hand in the position that the leader was most accustomed to.
Zhou Zechuan noticed his attentiveness, smiled slightly, nodded and said: "Strictly speaking, it should be the Red Star Factory."
"Yes, I came to the factory in 1965." Xiao Liu also smiled and replied, "In the spring of 1965."
"Oh——" Zhou Zechuan raised his eyebrows, nodded meaningfully, and said: "Then you came to the factory half a year earlier than the Secretary-General."
"You can't compare them like that." Xiao Liu waved his hands nervously and said, "The secretary general came to the factory with military merits. I can't compare with him. I just graduated from high school and joined the factory."
"Haha, that's what I said."
Zhou Zechuan chuckled and took a sip of the teacup, then asked casually, "Which department did Mr. Cen work for before?"
"Logistics Department, this is what it was like the year I arrived."
Xiao Liu seemed to understand the purpose of his leader calling him for a talk, and the tension in his heart eased a little.
"Logistics Department--" Zhou Zechuan seemed to be thinking about something. He nodded unintentionally and repeated the answer.
"At that time, Mr. Cen was the deputy director of the Logistics Department." Xiao Liu glanced at him and took the initiative to introduce: "The director at that time was Zhang Guoqi, the one who..."
"Yeah, I know this person."
Hearing the hesitation in Xiao Liu's words, Zhou Zechuan turned to look at him and said, "How is Mr. Cen's relationship with the Secretary-General?"
"This - I really don't know."
Xiao Liu didn't expect the leader to ask so suddenly and directly, and explained awkwardly: "When I first came to the agency, I was just running errands and doing odd jobs. Later, I was seconded to the Discipline Inspection Commission."
"Haha, you're wasting your talent." Zhou Zechuan didn't get discouraged when he didn't get any information. He smiled and looked at him and said, "If I can still continue to be in charge of the group's discipline and supervision work, I will definitely give you a chance."
"Thank you, Director." Xiao Liu first thanked the leader for his affirmation, then hesitated for a moment and said, "Before the Secretary-General came to work in the agency, I had never met him, but..."
"It's okay, just chatting."
Zhou Zechuan saw his hesitation and thoughts, nodded, and said nonchalantly: "If you don't want to say it, then don't say it."
"That's not what I meant." Xiao Liu certainly wouldn't offend his leader, let alone give up his cultivation. He explained, "I can't say anything I'm not sure about."
"Yes, it's a good habit." Zhou Zechuan approved of his explanation, nodded and commented: "You are a good material for disciplinary supervision."
"If it can be of reference value to you," Xiao Liu said hesitantly, "I know that it was the Secretary-General's suggestion that Mr. Cen was transferred from the Logistics Department to the Steel City Production Base and served as the Director of the Management Office."
He looked at Zhou Zechuan and said, "I saw this when I was sorting out the minutes of previous office meetings. There is evidence to prove it."
"However, after Mr. Cen went to Steel City, his work achievements and deeds did not seem to be recognized by the Secretary-General."
Xiao Liu first stretched Zhou Zechuan, and then began to show his own value as much as possible, talking more and more, and in more and more detail.
"When the group organized personnel adjustments last year, the secretary general suggested abolishing the structure of the Steel City Production Base Management Office and merging the management office personnel into the current industrial leadership team."
“Oh——” Zhou Zechuan listened to Xiao Liu’s words. He knew some of the situations, but not some of them. However, at this moment he still showed an expression as if he had just learned something.
He nodded and asked, "What happened next? Why didn't I hear about any relationship between President Cen and the Secretary-General?"
"Actually, the Secretary-General has no relationship with anyone." Xiao Liu pursed his lips and looked at him and said, "Everyone privately says that the Secretary-General is selfless and the type who doesn't care about personal relationships the most."
"Hehe——" Zhou Zechuan picked up the teacup again and chuckled, as if he did not agree with what he said.
Xiao Liu did not feel wronged, and explained frankly: "The personnel relations in this agency are so complicated that it is naturally not something that a small clerk like me can explain clearly."
"But the Secretary-General's work is indeed recognized by everyone, and this has been the case since he was the head of the Security Department."
He said: "If we have to pick out those who have a good relationship with him from among the middle and senior level cadres, we can almost pick them out."
"Why? Is he so popular?" Zhou Zechuan put down his teacup and asked with a smile, "Not necessarily."
“I heard people say trust.”
If Xiao Liu wants to get high scores from his leader, it is naturally impossible for him to say everything in accordance with his leader's wishes.
He introduced earnestly: "When he was in the Security Department, he had already won the recognition and respect of many cadres at the same level."
"From work management to policy grasp, even Director Li recognizes and trusts him very much."
Xiao Liu told Zhou Zechuan a few things he had witnessed before, which made the other party silent.
"If you say that everyone has a good relationship with the Secretary-General, that's not necessarily true." Xiao Liu brought the topic back and said, "In the past, there was a rumor in the agency that the Secretary-General and Mr. Xu from Yingcheng Shipbuilding were good friends. I know that this is completely false."
"I once passed by the secretary-general's office and heard him scold the other party harshly. There was no mercy."
"The Secretary-General is a bit harsh."
Zhou Zechuan agreed with what he said, nodded and said, "What else do you know about Mr. Cen?"
……
Why did Zhou Zechuan take the initiative to inquire about the relationship between Cen Fuyao and Li Xuewu?
Because he suspected that he was being tricked, and this huge trap at the Food Corporation was completely directed by Li Xuewu.
To put it bluntly, the problems that occurred with Zheng Xudong, vice president of the Food Corporation, were most likely caused by general manager Cen Fuyao.
He could have reported this to the Management Committee and, in the name of the Group’s Discipline Inspection Commission, suggested that the Group’s Management Committee hold Cen Fuyao accountable for his management responsibilities.
Cen Fuyao is the general manager of the Food Corporation and he has the responsibility to supervise and stop Zheng Xudong's violations.
But now these are all things that happened in the past. What happened to Zheng Xudong has already happened, right under Cen Fuyao's nose.
If Cen Fuyao and Li Xuewu had a very good relationship, then he had every reason to believe that this was a setup.
If Li Xuewu really dares to take advantage of this situation, then even if he is trapped, he will despise Li Xuewu's character.
In other words, while he despised Li Xuewu, he also felt a sense of pride in defeat, and tried to regain some face from this confrontation.
What a pity. He was confident that Xiao Liu would not lie, let alone deceive him. It seemed that Li Xuewu had nothing to do with Cen Fuyao.
From Xiao Liu's narration, we learned that it was indeed Li Xuewu's suggestion that Cen Fuyao take the position, but behind Li Xuewu was Li Huaide.
After he started working in the group, he realized that Li Huaide's opinions on many personnel issues and business decisions were actually conveyed through Li Xuewu.
At the team meeting, he learned that many of the opinions expressed by Li Xuewu were agreed by Li Huaide.
This means that the two people are standing on the same line, so how can he tell who Cen Fuyao is relying on?
Since Li Xuewu was able to offend Cen Fuyao and ruin his dream of advancement during the personnel changes, he arranged for him to go to the Food Corporation.
Although the current food company is large in scale and has a lot of business volume, you should know that this is not the group's main business.
What is the group's main business?
It is heavy industry related to the steel industry and mixed heavy and light industries, such as automobile manufacturing plants, electronic and electrical plants, etc.
The Food Corporation belongs to the tertiary industry, and even the factory is located in Beijing, not in Gangcheng, the group’s industrial production base.
So according to his understanding, Cen Fuyao should be resentful of Li Xuewu and it is impossible for him to cooperate with the other party to complete this plan.
So can we consider that Li Xuewu learned about Zheng Xudong's problem through some channel and made a connection?
You have to make him believe that all this is just a coincidence and has nothing to do with Li Xuewu's plan, unless you beat him to death.
Even if you beat him to death, he won't believe it.
One thing after another, one thing after another, once affected, there is no way to escape this vortex.
He didn't know whether others were alert or not, but Zhou Zechuan, who was in the situation, had already sensed that this case had become a vortex.
Anyone who is involved will be drawn in.
There is too much filth and dirt in this vortex, and problems arise one after another. Once you are involved, no one can escape unscathed.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the Secretary-General’s power and influence are being stripped and compressed by Director Li and other leaders.
The Secretary-General has retreated again and again, taking the initiative to cut off his own influence and power, all for one goal.
Now some people want to challenge the Secretary-General’s bottom line, thinking that if he can take one or two steps back, he can take a third step back.
Zhou Zechuan thought the same thing three months ago, and he was also one of those who forced the Secretary-General to continue to retreat.
Now, the Secretary-General retreated, but left a landmine behind, which was going to blow all these people to pieces.
After grasping the source of the problems and contradictions, and thinking about the situation that Li Xuewu had set up from the beginning, he knew that this matter was not simple.
There must be someone cooperating with the Secretary-General, even if it is passive cooperation, otherwise this matter will never be accomplished.
He still remembered the words Li Xuewu said to him while patting his arm in front of the door of Qinyuanchun.
Every time I think back on it, the memories are still fresh and ringing in my ears.
That time, wasn't it Zheng Xudong who came forward to ask him for help in dealing with the problem at the freight station? How could it be such a coincidence?
Thinking about it again, after that meeting, Yi Honglei went to the freight station to serve as the stationmaster. This is definitely not a coincidence.
At that time, he didn't understand how Zheng Xudong was related to the freight station, but now he understands.
What Zheng Xudong said at the time, about classmate relationship and business contact, was all bullshit.
From this investigation, he could clearly see that Zheng Xudong was the mastermind behind the freight station problems.
Or he is the source of the conflict.
Li Baihui does not have the courage nor the appetite to take on so much profit. Zheng Xudong is the key in this line.
There is another question here. If Zheng Xudong is investigated as the ultimate target of this case, will Li Xuewu be satisfied?
He absolutely did not believe that Li Xuewu would go to so much trouble just to get Zheng Xudong.
From this, we can infer who is standing behind Zheng Xudong, or who will be involved and affected if he has problems.
From what we have learned in the past about Li Xuewu’s style and calculations in doing things, we must definitely think divergently.
Sometimes two people in conflict may be the beneficiaries of the trap he set up.
Because reverse benefit is also a kind of benefit.
This kind of relationship can better cover up his true purpose. Even though he now knows clearly what Li Xuewu is going to do, he still can't see through it and can't understand Li Xuewu's calculations.
It's too damn complicated and too brain-burning.
Zhou Zechuan already had the awareness of a chess piece. He would think about every move he made: what Li Xuewu could gain, whether he would be in danger, and when Li Xuewu would abandon him as a chess piece.
Unexpected, completely unexpected.
He could only follow the other party's arrangements, and he was confused and often couldn't figure it out after he was done.
I really don't know what's wrong with Li Xuewu's brain. If he was schemed against by a group of people, he would still accept it, but...
It's really discouraging to say this. Although he is sure that Secretary-General Li Xuewu is truly talented, he didn't expect him to be so talented.
Is he going to fire the entire group's leadership team?
Pull all into this vortex and stew them all?
I think so, but the work still needs to be done.
Zhou Zechuan pretended to be ignorant even though he knew the truth. Since Cen Fuyao was willing to cooperate with his work and actions, he would carry out the investigation to the end.
On the one hand, an investigation team was arranged to raise its flag and officially enter the Food Corporation to conduct an investigation.
In his report to the group office meeting, he clearly wrote that he wanted to investigate the purchase accounts and actual conditions between the Food Corporation and the freight station and get to the bottom of it.
No one in the group management committee could express a negative opinion on this point, but some people were obviously unhappy.
Just when he was communicating with Cen Fuyao and asking the Discipline Inspection and Organization Department of the Food Corporation to help interview the cadres related to the case, someone called the Food Corporation to find him.
-
"Director, what should I do?"
Xiao Liu answered the phone on behalf of Zhou Zechuan. He was about to cry when he heard Deputy Director Su's almost roaring scolding on the phone.
Zhou Zechuan was unmoved. He just sat aside and listened to the roar on the phone without saying a word.
What could Xiao Liu say? He could only passively endure the storm on the other end of the phone, followed by a loud thunder.
Crack——
It was a deafening sound, it was the sound of someone on the other end of the line hanging up the phone in extreme dissatisfaction.
"Was Deputy Director Su going to drop the phone?"
Xiao Liu twitched the corners of his mouth with lingering fear, and his hands were shaking a little as he looked at the microphone in his hand.
Zhou Zechuan took the last puff of his cigarette, extinguished it in the ashtray, and said, "Ignore him, and continue investigating."
Without waiting for the disciplinary and supervisory cadres at the door of the duty room to look at each other in confusion, he stood up and walked straight out.
Deputy Director Su's voice on the phone just now has spread throughout the corridor and everyone heard it.
What does Suvid want to do?
It’s nothing. He accused Zhou Zechuan of not doing his job properly and that the actions of the disciplinary supervisor had seriously interfered with the business operations of the group’s branch.
This is just one of the reasons. When it comes to cursing people and fabricating charges, Deputy Director Su is definitely a professional.
There is no need to mention other reasons. I'm afraid only Zhou Zechuan can understand what Deputy Director Su means.
What do you mean by not doing your job? It's because he put aside the investigation of Zhou Xiaobai and focused on investigating Li Baihui's case, which also involved the Food Corporation.
Needless to say, Su Wei De was already very dissatisfied.
There are only two reasons. He was dissatisfied with himself for dropping Zhou Xiaobai's case, or he was dissatisfied with himself for investigating Zheng Xudong.
Thinking this way, is it Su Weide who is standing behind Zheng Xudong, or is it that he has a vested interest in Su Weide?
This case is really getting more and more interesting.
Zhou Zechuan is not worried about the lice on his head. Since he has come this far, he has to go on.
After returning from the Food Corporation, just when everyone in the agency who was silently concerned about this matter thought that Director Zhou, who went upstairs, would go to Deputy Director Su to apologize, someone saw him walk into Deputy Director Gu's office. What was going on?
Everyone knew that Deputy Director Gu had long been annoyed by his betrayal and failure to follow the rules, and that he would deal with him sooner or later.
The child died and I knew I needed milk. It is a bit late to report to the supervisor at this time.
For Zhou Zechuan, it is not too late at all.
"Leader, we are applying to open a case investigation into Zheng Xudong."
Zhou Zechuan was very straightforward. When he arrived at Gu Weijie's office, he handed over the sorted materials without saying a word and started to investigate Zheng Xudong, and his attitude was very firm.
Let me explain here that there is often a certain lag when the group’s disciplinary inspection department handles cases.
That is to say, there will generally be reports, or in some cases it will be discovered that group cadres have violated regulations and disciplines.
At this time, the disciplinary supervision department will take the initiative or be arranged by the supervisor to investigate the relevant personnel and issues.
Cases that can cause the disciplinary supervisory authorities to proactively carry out supervision and investigation are extremely rare, after all, the number of disciplinary supervisory authorities is very small.
This is what they did to ordinary cadres, and it is even more extraordinary that they took the initiative to initiate an investigation into deputy general managers of the branch company.
He himself is only a division-level cadre, and now he wants to investigate another deputy division-level cadre. Without the permission and support of his superiors, it would be extremely difficult for him to take any action and he would be looked down upon.
Therefore, his coming to Gu Weijie to apply and report was in compliance with organizational procedures and office requirements.
To be honest, Gu Weijie also had a headache when facing Zhou Zechuan, especially the questions and applications he submitted.
She was in charge of the group's disciplinary and supervisory work and had never imagined that such a complicated situation would arise.
The department head did not listen to instructions or say hello, and the cases that suddenly emerged involved more and more people and could not be suppressed.
Under the current external and internal environment of the group, members of the management committee, including her, do not want a more serious situation to occur, nor do they want to affect the good development situation.
Therefore, she didn't care at all about Zhou Zechuan's righteous words and awe-inspiring manner, but she had to listen to him.
"Check Zheng Xudong, check it out."
This is all she can say. What else can she say? Should she say she doesn't support it, or should she say she supports it?
The secretary reminded her in the morning that Zheng Xudong was very close to Deputy Director Cheng and they had a very good relationship in private.
If she approved the investigation into Zheng Xudong, people in the agency would implicitly think that she was trying to wrestle with Cheng Kaiyuan.
It’s a mess, a mess, a complete mess.
Lu Xun once said that northwestern Shanxi was in chaos.
Now at the group management level, the organizational ecology is developing towards a mess.
The problem has come to her, and the evidence is so sufficient that there is no room for discussion or research.
Look again at Zhou Zechuan’s statement and state. Is he here to ask for instructions and report?
He was clearly here to report!
Whether you call it a legitimate reason or a way of diverting trouble, the fire has already burned on her.
Even if she didn't want to investigate, Zhou Zechuan was unwilling to do so.
Go ahead and investigate, she wants to see what can be found out from this case in the end.
They are all frogs in the same plate, she doesn't believe that one is superior to the other, and she is not afraid that the fire under the plate is too strong.
Ring ring ring——
Just as she nodded in agreement, the phone on the table rang.
"what?"
After hearing the report on the phone, Gu Weijie frowned. It was a call from the Food Corporation.
If there is a problem in the company, the general manager cannot escape responsibility, but as long as it is handled proactively, there will always be a good result.
Cen Fuyao is not the kind of person who gives up easily. When he is called out on a problem, his attitude is very worth learning from.
Not only did it actively support and help the group's disciplinary inspection and supervision personnel to enter the Food Corporation to conduct investigations, it also carried out self-inspection and self-correction actions.
In the relevant operations, the Discipline Inspection and Supervision Office of the Food Corporation took the lead and discovered problems with the food raw material procurement accounts.
In the second and third quarters of this year, a comparison between the financial accounts and actual results revealed that some purchase documents had problems with false purchase prices.
Old people always say that family disgrace should not be made public, but Cen Fuyao is so determined that he reports any problems he encounters.
After calling his supervisor, he took the initiative to report the situation in the company to Deputy Director Gu, who was in charge of discipline inspection.
Yes, there were problems with the Food Corporation under his management, but just talk about his attitude in handling the problems.
Anyway, Gu Weijie can't say anything, so can you still scold him?
If you ask me what I had thought of earlier, I'm afraid countless people have said this, but I've made all the mistakes I should have made.
Gu Weijie could no longer worry about anything else. After hanging up the phone, she looked at Zhou Zechuan seriously and said, "The Food Corporation has discovered the problem of falsely reporting unit prices during self-examination."
“We had expected that.”
Zhou Zechuan nodded and said, "With the help and support of President Cen, the investigation team's work is progressing very smoothly."
"I believe that this case can be thoroughly investigated and the corruption factors that have grown within the group can be eliminated."
He said solemnly: "At the same time, I also firmly believe that strictly following the organizational discipline to deal with the relevant personnel will have a strong deterrent effect on the economic contradictions that have emerged during the rapid development of the current group."
"I agree with you."
Gu Weijie nodded slightly, picked up a pen, signed her opinion on the application, and ordered a thorough investigation of the matter.
"Ask the comrades from the Finance and Audit Departments to come to me."
After signing her opinion, she did not immediately hand the application to Zhou Zechuan. Instead, she looked at him and said, "I will arrange for comrades from the Finance Department and the Audit Department to form an audit team and enter the Food Corporation to conduct an audit investigation."
"Thank you for your support." Zhou Zechuan stood up excitedly and said, "With more professional comrades, I believe this case will go more smoothly."
"Don't be sad." Gu Weijie didn't believe he was really excited. "I've given you all the support you want."
She tapped the application documents in her hand and said meaningfully, "Even if you poke a hole in the sky, I won't say anything to you, but you have to know that you are also under the sky."
"Yes, I understand, Leader."
Zhou Zechuan stood straight, looked into Deputy Director Gu's eyes, and said sincerely: "I know I have done a lot of foolish things during this period, but please believe in my principles and integrity."
"I swear to you that I will fulfill my duties conscientiously, in my loyalty to the organization and my persistence in my beliefs."
He paused, then continued, "At the same time, I will actively safeguard the overall interests of the group and not do anything that would go against my conscience."
"Well, that's good if you know."
Gu Weijie did not believe what he said and seemed indifferent to his statement.
He just pushed the document he had just signed over and said casually, "Take care of yourself."
Things have developed to this point, and no matter what you say, the rift between the two cannot be bridged.
As a supervisor, she would never trust a person who would forget his principles for the sake of profit, and Zhou Zechuan would never compromise.
Therefore, the end of this case was also the beginning of Gu Weijie's distrust and rectification of him.
Sooner or later, the two of them will go their separate ways. Now they don’t even want to pretend and just want the other person to disappear as soon as possible.
Do you think Zhou Zechuan doesn’t know?
He was well aware of his situation, but he also knew that he still had a chance of survival in the future.
As long as he handles the case according to Li Xuewu's request and the way the other party wants, his end will not be too miserable.
It's nothing more than being transferred from the Disciplinary Supervision Office, or staying there feeling frustrated.
Gu Weijie can't stand him, and maybe someone will need him as a thorn in her side.
Who can say for sure what is happening in this world?
-
"What's going on with the Food Corporation?"
Gu Cheng made a special trip to the Security Department and found Peng Xiaoli who was writing materials.
Seeing that it was him, Peng Xiaoli replied with some amusement: "You're still asking me? Which of us works in the main office building?"
"I'm in the main office building, not the Food Corporation!" Gu Cheng always spoke in a reasonable manner, "Your security department has tentacles throughout the entire group, who else should I ask?"
"Hey——" Peng Xiaoli raised his head again, looked at him and emphasized: "Don't talk nonsense——"
He stood up, pointed at Gu Cheng and said, "Who taught you that? Our security department told you to say it. What happened?"
"Isn't what I said the truth?"
Gu Cheng didn't feel wronged, nor did he mind Peng Xiaoli's dirty behavior. He reached out and picked up the teacup from his desk and took a sip.
"Don't tell me that your information is all calculated with your fingers and has nothing to do with having many eyes and ears."
"Slander, rumor." Peng Xiaoli impatiently snatched back his cup, and pointed at Gu Cheng on the table and said, "With your mouth, I will catch you and hang you up and beat you up sooner or later."
"Look, this is exposed."
Gu Cheng smiled and raised his eyebrows, saying, "Excuse me, Comrade Peng Xiaoli, are you from the East Factory or the West Factory?"
"What a mess." Peng Xiaoli rolled his eyes, sat down again, and said, "I'm from the Red Star Factory."
"Hey, you don't dare to say it."
Gu Cheng pulled out a chair and sat next to Peng Xiaoli, teasing him with a wicked smile: "Where did your former strength go?"
"You're just kidding, aren't you?"
Peng Xiaoli was too lazy to pay attention to him. He brushed away his dirty hand that was slapping his arm and said impatiently, "Go squat wherever it's cool. Can't you see I'm busy?"
"Oh, Director Peng is busy."
Gu Cheng tilted his head and looked at the materials in Peng Xiaoli's hand, saying in a disdainful tone: "Let me see what's written here."
"Hey-hey-hey--"
Peng Xiaoli put away the materials and glared at his best friend, "Are you annoying? You really don't consider yourself an outsider, do you?"
"You can be an insider if you are not an outsider."
Gu Cheng was a smooth talker, but he was also not very smooth. He leaned back in his chair and asked, "Do you regret it?"
"Get lost—" Peng Xiaoli was really annoyed. He put the materials away and said, "Stop making small talk."
"Then I'll say something."
Gu Cheng reached out and knocked on the desk, saying, "Something has gone wrong at the Food Corporation. No matter how loud the thunder is, the crops still need to be planted."
Hearing Gu Cheng say this, Peng Xiaoli also frowned and looked at his good friend, wanting to hear what he wanted to say.
"What I know now is that Li Baihui died in vain. He thought he could handle everything, but what happened?"
Gu Cheng spread his hands and said with his eyes wide open: "Those people in the Discipline Inspection Commission will never let this case go."
"Li Baihui alone is not enough for them. Now they have found Zheng Xudong."
"You know Zheng Xudong, right?"
Without waiting for Peng Xiaoli to answer, he introduced himself: "The vice president of the Food Corporation, the problem is very serious."
"I know Zheng Xudong." Peng Xiaoli glanced at the door and said softly, "It seems that he offended the secretary-general once."
"Then I don't know. I just know he's finished."
Gu Cheng stretched out his hand and grabbed it, raised his eyebrows slightly and said: "The Food Corporation is now a department-level unit, but the future is uncertain."
"Apart from the labor service company and the medical and education administration bureaus, this is the group's only production unit in the capital."
He pointed in the direction of the door and whispered to Peng Xiaoli, "That person doesn't trust you very much, right?"
"Don't talk about anything else." Peng Xiaoli narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "What do you want to say?"
"You can't hide it from me. My eyes can see through people's hearts." Gu Cheng pointed at his eyes and said mysteriously, "I can see that you are not happy working here."
"Now is your chance."
He said seriously: "The food company is in Beijing, so you don't have to worry about the location of your job."
"Your staying in the security department is no longer of any value. Manager Wang has completely taken control of the situation. You should also take the initiative."
This time, Peng Xiaoli did not refute his good friend. He just sat there with a frown and did not say anything.
Gu Cheng definitely had good intentions and good intentions.
He tapped the table with his fingers and said, "Don't blame others. This is the rule of the game in the agency."
"Manager Wang has absolutely nothing against you, and he has fulfilled his promise. Now is the time for you to make the right choice."
“I don’t feel like anyone owes me anything.”
Peng Xiaoli thought for a moment and said, "It was my own choice to stay in the Security Department. I can't blame anyone else."
"Look forward. At least you can take the initiative to leave now." Gu Cheng glanced outside the door and said softly, "You are no longer worthwhile and necessary to stay in the Security Department."
"Where are you going? The Food Company?"
Peng Xiaoli also seemed to have made some decision, or he had been making a decision a long time ago.
"Don't look down on the Food Corporation."
Gu Cheng glared and said, "It has three large food processing plants under its jurisdiction, and new products are produced one after another."
"I can tell you this: in the future, the electronics and automobile industries will become the pillars of the group, but."
He put his hand on the table and said seriously: "The food industry will become the enterprise with the largest cash flow in the group. Do you believe it?"
"Do you understand what cash flow means?"
Gu Cheng raised his eyebrows pretentiously and said, "If you don't understand, then go learn some economics."
"Get lost—" Peng Xiaoli could tell that he was hiding something, and said with drooping eyelids: "I definitely know more than you."
"Haha..." Gu Cheng didn't believe it, "Even if you know more than me, can you know more than my wife?"
He is so shameless. Every time he fails to win an argument with Peng Xiaoli, he will decisively throw sand in his mouth.
When it comes to getting a wife, he completely crushes single guy Peng Xiaoli, and it always works.
Peng Xiaoli held his breath and really wanted to stand up and slap the boy.
"Don't hesitate, just go to the Food Corporation."
Gu Cheng picked up the cigarette box from the table and lit himself a cigarette, saying, "Think about it, Zhang Songying, the vice president of the International Hotel, was transferred to the Food Corporation. Don't you think this is a coincidence?"
"What a coincidence." Peng Xiaoli rolled his eyes and said, "Zhang Songying left half a year ago. What does it have to do with the present?"
"Hey..." Gu Cheng raised his eyebrows and said, "How do you know that what's happening now has nothing to do with what happened half a year ago?"
Peng Xiaoli really couldn't answer this question.
"This time, Vice President Zhang went to Hong Kong, France and Italy." Gu Cheng said softly, "He is the first person in our factory to go abroad for study and inspection. What a treat he will be when he comes back."
"What kind of treatment? Pick up Zheng Xudong?"
Peng Xiaoli was even more shocked when he thought of this. He really didn't think that this matter was arranged half a year ago.
But now he said he didn't believe it, but the facts were slapping him in the face, and Gu Cheng also wanted to be slapped in the face.
"Don't forget, you are still the Secretary-General's soldier."
Gu Cheng pointed at him with the finger holding the cigarette and emphasized: "Now go tell the secretary general that the mission here has been successfully completed and apply for demotion to the lower level for training. See what he says."
"Believe it or not." He pointed in the direction of the door and said, "Manager Wang will definitely give you an excellent review."
"Then you will be worthy of the title of deputy director." Gu Cheng said with a smile: "Seize the opportunity, maybe in a year or two, I will have to call you Chief Peng."

Secretary work is not easy. It is rare for a secretary to serve two leaders in an office.
Peng Xiaoli's situation is very special. Other secretaries cannot do what he does, let alone his special status in the Security Department.
With Li Xuewu around, who would dare not give him face?
But there are only a few Peng Xiaoli in a group organization, and who knows Peng Xiaoli's embarrassing situation and distress?
You don't need to know, because being a secretary is not easy.
Cheng Kaiyuan's secretary, He Miao, hurried up from downstairs and almost bumped into Wang Lu who was just passing by.
"I'm sorry, I didn't see it."
He Miao didn't dare to provoke Wang Lu, so he apologized awkwardly. Seeing that Wang Lu didn't care, he patiently walked towards the office.
But his accelerated pace betrayed his anxious heart. It was not until he entered Deputy Director Cheng's office that he unveiled his disguise that had long been exposed and began to report anxiously.
Listening to the secretary talking about the situation of the Food Corporation and Zheng Xudong's situation, Cheng Kaiyuan remained calm.
"Oh, I see."
With just this one sentence, He Miao's worries became unnecessary.
Of course, it cannot be said that he was completely redundant. At least he fulfilled his responsibilities and obligations as a secretary.
He Miao couldn't guess what his leader was thinking. He stood there at a loss, not knowing what to do next.
Cheng Kaiyuan did know it, or rather, he had known it a long time ago, and he had been waiting for this day for a long time.
Li Xuewu was about to leave. Given that kid's character, how could he leave quietly?
He would feel a little uncomfortable if he didn't mess with them before leaving, so he had already started to be on guard.
You said that Li Xuewu started to plot against them in July or September. Do you know when he started to guard against Li Xuewu's deadly move?
From the moment Li Xuewu handed over the power of the Security Department.
Because he didn't believe that Li Xuewu would be willing to have his power stripped away and be deprived of his influence over various departments of the group.
It might not be a big deal for others to be hit by Li Xuewu like this. At most they can just tolerate him for a while and make it up to him later.
But Cheng Kaiyuan can't do that. He can't stand Li Xuewu's bad behavior.
His ranking in the team is already like this, and he still has a stain on his body.
Think about it again, although Li Xuewu has left the Security Department, he still has something in his hands, and no one can keep a clean record.
It was impossible to resist, he knew very well that Li Xuewu was not targeting him, but all of them.
If he dared to resist, he would die a more miserable death.
It would be better to let nature take its course and let Li Xuewu sweep through the enemy troops. As long as he is prepared, he will be able to dodge it when the time comes.
He could just dodge it, and Li Xuewu would not settle the score with him, so he had been waiting for this move.
He smiled and responded to Zheng Xudong's active flattery, and he also acquiesced to Su Weide's deliberate solicitation.
He finally realized that some people were really not afraid of death and treated the lessons of the past as a joke.
Well, they are not afraid of death, but Li Xuewu is afraid of being buried?
Being cheated once is enough, and he has had enough of it anyway.
