Chapter 1358: Li Xuewu is Qin Shi Huang
"Ah! Isn't this Mr. Zhang?"
Qin Huairu was busy with the accounts for the new year. She suddenly felt that the office became quiet. When she looked up, she found Zhang Songying standing at the door, looking at her with a smile.
The other people in the office looked at them with a smirk, as if waiting for her surprised expression.
"Please come in, you are a rare guest." She stood up and greeted him with a smile, "I haven't seen you for half a year. Mr. Zhang is still as elegant and graceful as ever."
"How did you learn to be so literary?"
Zhang Songying walked in with a smile, threw the bag in her hand away, sat opposite her and asked, "Why, you don't welcome me?"
"Look at what you said, how dare I--"
Qin Huairu took the initiative to make tea for her and dismissed the people in the office, jokingly saying to her, "It is really an honor for Mr. Zhang to visit my small office."
"Alright, alright, it's like singing an opera—"
Zhang Songying rolled her eyes impatiently, folded her right leg and slightly raised it, her coquettish and angry look showing the charm of a young woman.
Qin Huairu brought over some hot tea. Looking at her clothes and makeup, she couldn't help but feel envious.
"Those who know you are out for an inspection, while those who don't would think you are out for a recuperation vacation and a life of luxury."
She reached out and grabbed a handful of Zhang Songying's face, jokingly saying, "Look at how rosy she is. People would believe she's eighteen."
"You're the only one who believes it—"
Zhang Songying slapped her hand away in a scolding tone, glared at her and said, "Why didn't I see you being so lustful before?"
"Why? You feel rejuvenated after finding a man?"
"Tsk..." Qin Huairu was so embarrassed that she scolded her in a low voice, "Keep your voice down, there's someone outside the door."
As she said this, she rolled her eyes at Zhang Songying and said, "You just came back from studying in Hong Kong. Why are you like this?"
"What?" Zhang Songying looked at her closely. "You think I'm being nosy and asked you about your relationship with a man?"
"Who cares about you——"
She curled her lips and said, "If I were at home, I would still say a few words to you, but now the matter is settled."
"Stop talking, it's so embarrassing."
Qin Huairu glanced at her and said, "Just think it's easy for a widow to walk. Others don't understand me, but don't you understand me?"
"Why leave now, not earlier or later?" Zhang Songying still didn't understand. "It's not worth it."
Qin Huairu understood what he said. She was just thinking that she had lived in poverty in the past and her family was poor, so she should find a man to live with.
The earlier you leave, the later you leave.
She had never thought about getting married before because she was afraid that her children would suffer, so she had to support the family alone.
If she is really strong, she will have to wait until her children have married and established their own families before she finds a partner to spend the rest of her life with. This is what is called leaving late.
But at this time, Qin Huairu's life had improved and she was financially well-off, but she was thinking about getting married, but she thought it was not worth it.
"Your own grandmother can't even live a good life, but you insist on being someone else's nanny." Zhang Songying looked at her with dismay and said, "I heard that you're going to be someone else's stepmother. Why are you doing this? Are you short of a daughter?"
"You know that your stepfather is unsure, so how can you be a stepmother?"
"Don't talk about me, just pretend that I'm feeling good." Qin Huairu's face no longer had the joy of meeting her good friend, but was filled with regret.
"From fighting to transferring to the guesthouse, how many people have introduced me to potential partners? When have I ever accepted one?"
She wiped her eyes and said, "Isn't it just that I have a fantasy in my heart?"
"You haven't been gone for ten or eight years. If I hadn't told you what it was like only half a year ago, wouldn't you know?"
Qin Huairu raised her head and looked across at the other side and said, "Although he is not ungrateful, he is not a playboy either. How can he last forever?"
"You are younger than me, so you can always count on me. After the New Year, I will be 33, so I can't just give in. Who knows what people will say to me."
"Your life is your own. Who can say anything about you?" Zhang Songying felt uncomfortable after hearing what she said. She turned her head away and said, "If you want to get married, no one can stop you."
"Yeah, I've been working on this for half a year, but I haven't even heard a word. So I don't expect anything anymore."
Qin Huairu raised her head and let out a long breath. She tried to smile and said, "I'm not that great. This is all I can do. I'll just be content with what I have."
"As for you, I heard that you are going to make progress?"
She looked at Zhang Songying with some envy and said, "I really want to congratulate you. I heard that the batch coming back from Hong Kong City will be reused."
"Why are you talking about this? It's so boring."
Zhang Songying pulled out a bag of bottles and jars from her bag and pushed them over. She pointed at a few of them and said, "These are cosmetics specially brought for you."
"Don't use it carelessly. There are foreign characters on it. I marked them with a pen. This thing can also make your face pink and make you eighteen again."
"Fuck you, if I turn 18 again, won't I be a goblin?"
Qin Huairu got rid of her recent depression and was now picking up the cosmetics on the desk and examining them carefully. There were indeed more varieties than those in China.
"You're just going to investigate these?"
"It's more than that." Zhang Songying also restrained her emotions and explained to her: "First, we looked at the market situation of cosmetics in the port city, and then traced the freight channels back to the production workshop and research institute."
She curled her lips and said, "But most cosmetics companies in Hong Kong don't have scientific research capabilities. Most of them are just fooling around and making half-imitations and half-fakes."
"But these brands are good, they're from France." Zhang Songying picked out a few cosmetics from the pile and introduced them, "I went to France for a tour."
"You went to France?" Qin Huairu was extremely shocked. "That must be very far away. How did you get there?"
"I went there by plane. How else could I go there?" Zhang Songying said with a smile, "If we really want to go there by boat, it will take more than half a year to go back and forth."
"Don't look so surprised." She said with fatigue in her eyes: "I'm going to study, not to go on vacation."
"I've been running and remembering all the way. I'm so tired."
"It's worth it even if I'm dying of exhaustion." Qin Huairu said with emotion, "I haven't heard of anyone from our factory going abroad for inspection. You are the first one."
"You are in the factory so you haven't heard about it. Many people go abroad." Zhang Songying shook his head slightly and explained: "In our industrial system, thousands of people go abroad every year. Otherwise, how can we do trade and introduce technology?"
"Even in France, I have seen people from the mainland."
She curled her lips and stopped talking. She changed the topic and talked about some cosmetics. She also taught on the spot and used these things to help Qin Huairu put on light makeup.
*********
After seeing Zhang Songying off, Qin Huairu stood at the door of the guesthouse with many feelings.
The two of them sat in the office for most of the day, and they never stopped talking, all about the changes that had taken place in the past six months.
From Zhang Songying she learned about the glamorous world outside and also knew about the poverty and backwardness of the mainland.
However, Zhang Songying also said that the moon in foreign countries is not always round. In terms of public security environment, it cannot be compared with that in Beijing.
She does have some knowledge and knows that we cannot compare with the domestic situation. Perhaps she also knows that the security environment in some places in the country is not very good.
But there is one thing she said correctly, that is, the people returning from Hong Kong City will be given important positions.
Zhang Songying also said that Li Xuewu’s sister Li Xue will serve as the deputy section chief of the Finance Section of the Group’s Finance Department, a serious deputy section-level cadre.
Xu Ning, the previous director of the guesthouse, will serve as the deputy general manager of the Energy Corporation after returning from this training.
Zhou Miaomiao, who came from the dance team, got a formal deputy section-level position. Just tell me whether these people are valued or not.
Zhang Songying was a deputy section-level official before she left. After returning from this training session, she was promoted half a level and became the general manager of the pharmaceutical and cosmetic branch of the pharmaceutical corporation.
This cosmetics company is not an empty shell. Zhang Songying said that several production lines were introduced from abroad, and the production workshop was affiliated with a food and drug processing factory.
What about shower gel, facial cleanser, perfume, etc.? It sounds confusing to say that they want to make cosmetics with Chinese herbal ingredients.
However, she is the general manager of the cosmetics branch. She is both an administrative cadre and a production cadre of the relevant factory, a tough character who can handle both.
To be honest, Qin Huairu really envied her. She had the determination to make trouble and the courage to fight to the death.
Take the issue of going abroad for example. The situation is changing so quickly now. Anyone with overseas connections must be subject to scrutiny.
Look at Zhang Songying again. He really traveled a long way and brought back all the technology and products.
She also had to admit that, comparing the two, Li Xuewu valued Zhang Songying more and liked her unswerving spirit.
To put it bluntly, why did they approach Li Xuewu? And why did Li Xuewu accept them?
It can't be because of love, right?
To put it bluntly, it is just mutual exploitation. If there is no value in relying on and exploiting each other, the relationship will naturally become distant.
Qin Huairu knew very well that she had been a little "unmotivated" in the past two years. It might be due to her limited ability or the constraints of her family.
No matter what, she has never moved from her position as the director of the guesthouse. She is not as good as others, but she is not as good as Zhang Songying.
At least it should be useful to Li Xuewu's work and future, otherwise there is no point in complaining about it. It is better to take a step back early and leave room for both sides.
When Zhang Songying was selected to join the training class, Qin Huairu worked hard, envied her, and reflected on it.
Qinyuanchun, Yujiaao and other restaurants were her progress. It was just a little late, or the step was not big enough, and it did not catch his eye.
Besides, she had lost the courage and perseverance to make progress, and she did not listen to him and study hard. Her current abilities could only go so far.
Even if he had managed to open those restaurants, it would have taken a lot of effort and time, but what good could it have done for him?
Think about it again, if she were really selected to attend the training class, would she be able to go?
Leaving behind the old and the young at home and being away for more than half a year?
Therefore, she could not envy Zhang Songying's carefreeness and progress, because they were what she deserved. Who made her reluctant to give up this and that?
During their conversation, she also introduced Li Xuewu's current situation to Zhang Songying. She said everything that needed to be said, without exaggeration, and was full of worry.
Even Qin Huairu knew that the Secretary-General's influence in the group had been greatly weakened and he was suffering from backlogs and exclusion from all sides.
Director Li's attitude was very subtle. Another investigation team came from above to supervise and investigate the case raised by the Secretary-General.
The attitudes of other group leaders were even more complicated. No one could see the current situation of the group's organizational ecology, and everyone was very cautious, fearing that they would step on landmines.
With so much talk about the Secretary-General's decline, the work he is responsible for is inevitably affected, and the recent rounds of office meetings have been difficult.
At the Management Committee meeting, several personnel arrangements proposed by the Secretary-General were not reached, and news spread that the Secretary-General's job would become difficult.
If the Secretary-General's proposal is not communicated in advance and Director Li's consent is not obtained, no one will believe it.
And at the Management Committee meeting, the Secretary-General was just thrown into disgrace. What else could this be but suppression?
The people in this agency are the best at flattering the powerful and bullying the weak. From the recent series of incidents, they seem to have smelled something different.
They were all silent, looking around, afraid of missing the chance to take sides. They were just waiting for the secretary-general to fall, and then choosing another one to take over.
The Secretary-General seemed to cooperate with them very well. Apart from his official work, he basically stayed in his office and never went out.
There is also the Deputy Secretary-General. Even if there is work, who is qualified to report to the Secretary-General to find out his status?
Most of the related work will be handled by the Deputy Secretary-General, and only those that require further approval will be submitted to the Secretary-General.
In recent times, that is, since returning from the training ground, the Secretary-General has not gone out for research, as if he was waiting for the verdict.
Yes, someone came from the ministry, Yang Jun who had been here before, and he kept a close eye on the Discipline Inspection Commission and coordinated the recruitment of cadres from the Security Department to participate in the establishment of a special task force.
It seems like they are determined to fight to the end and will not go back until the case is thoroughly investigated.
Many people are speculating whether the Secretary-General is involved in this case, or whether the Secretary-General has lifted the lid and caused disgust among other leaders.
Of course, most people still believe in Li Xuewu's innocence. Even if there are some attempts to uncover the truth, it is out of consideration for the collective.
However, this exclusion and loss are vague in the eyes of everyone. We must always listen to what the disciplinary supervisor says and reach a conclusion.
The tone of the government changes so quickly; some time ago everyone was still arguing about the Ten Golden Flowers and the Ten Young People, and later they started discussing the Gangcheng Training Class.
The training course has not yet come to an end, and some people have begun discussing the Secretary-General's situation and the case that caused such a disaster.
Li Baihui's death couldn't be in vain, right? Zheng Xudong's death couldn't be in vain, right? There had to be some kind of splash, how could it just be left unresolved?
All employees of the group are waiting for an answer, about this case and also about the group’s cadres and leaders.
******
Some people are more anxious about the case.
Mr. Lu Xun once said, "If there is revenge, take revenge; if there is grievance, take grievance."
Ever since Yang Jun reported and asked for instructions from his superiors and led the team back to Red Star Steel Group to supervise and guide the disciplinary supervision department in investigating the case, Zhou Zechuan, director of the Disciplinary Supervision Department, has been as excited as ever.
Now that he had lost the shackles on his neck and the gloomy eyes staring at him from behind, wouldn't he still investigate as hard as he could, until he was dead?
Anyway, it is better for others to die than for him. It is better for me to die than for my friends.
This effort and enthusiasm was somewhat emotional, as if he was seeking revenge. His goal was very clear, which was to get to the bottom of the matter.
This is also Yang Jun's attitude. Since his advice, mediation and efforts are not recognized by the parties, then there is no need to give face to anyone.
The people in the Red Star Steel Group are all competing with each other. He has no ability to untie the knot, so he might as well cut it off and see who will fall.
The leaders above were also very angry. Not giving face to Yang Jun was tantamount to not giving face to them. They were ignoring the good situation of unity and development and trying to cause trouble.
Aren’t you going to fight the case to the end?
Isn't it about eradicating the harmful influence?
Well, the ministry is just trying to test the flexibility of the Red Star Steel Group, so let’s investigate it and get to the bottom of it.
However, if the investigation goes on like this, there will be no room for relaxation, and whoever deserves the punishment will be punished.
Zhou Zechuan knew very well that Yang Jun had found a way out for him in the midst of his anger.
Whether to consider offending one side or not to consider anything and just do whatever he wants, he has made the wisest choice.
Whatever you want, don’t investigate his grandma.
If they can really catch Old Su, he will be famous in the system, and no one will be blamed for such schemes and tricks in the future.
Of course, there is a price to pay. I am afraid that no one will dare to recommend him or use him in the future. This guy has a rebellious mind.
"Is this Zheng Xudong's problem?"
Yang Jun frowned and asked, "Have you found his account book?"
Even though the working group has only been here for a few days, they have basically understood everything about the case and are the main force in handling the case.
Zhou Zechuan was once one of them, so there were naturally no obstacles or resistance in their cooperation, so the work progressed quickly.
In fact, this case is not very difficult to investigate. Li Baihui and Zheng Xudong are dead, but the people involved with them are not all dead.
Besides, the time period involved in this case is only one or two years. After all, the Food Corporation was only established for two years.
The investigation started from the freight station, then to Li Baihui, and then to Zheng Xudong. As the investigation into the case deepened, the person behind the scenes could no longer sit still.
So the difficulty lies in that the living people don't want them to investigate further, and the dead people cause them a lot of trouble.
Zheng Xudong died in the International Hotel, in the private room of Mercedes, the vice president of Santaya Group. It is quite troublesome to be involved in these things.
Another thing is that Liang Zuodong explained everything very quickly, and basically all the relationships between the parties were involved. All that was left was to find out the relationship between their respective interests.
It’s mainly about profiteering, forming cliques, etc. With so many people working so hard and suffering for so long, can they still be convicted of dereliction of duty?
Since Yang Jun allowed Zhou Zechuan to make the case bigger, then making the case bigger is his only way out of the quagmire.
Zhou Zechuan has had little rest in recent days. He has been concentrating on this case. His hair is messy and his face is covered with grease.
Not only that, his dark circles are darker than those of the giant pandas in the zoo, and the bloodshot under his eyes look more like red lanterns.
Yang Jun didn't expect this guy to work so hard. He couldn't help but look at the information in his hand seriously. Is this his hard work?
"We still haven't found him, and the family members don't know either." Zhou Zechuan's voice was filled with fatigue and regret, as well as a hint of self-blame. "If I had known this earlier, I would never have let him out of our sight."
"The tracking team was also careless at the beginning. When they saw him enter the International Hotel, they thought he was going to meet some important person."
He explained: "They followed him in, but lost him. When they found the front desk to inquire, the man was gone."
"Learn from your experience and lessons." Seeing him reviewing himself like this, Yang Jun couldn't bear to blame him anymore. He nodded and said, "Zheng Xudong has a big problem."
“We didn’t expect this either.”
Zhou Zechuan frowned, stood up and pointed to several sets of data listed in the investigation report and said, "It would be fine if it was just fraud in procurement, but he also interfered in engineering construction, internal supply and logistics support."
"I really don't know whether I should despise him or admire him. A small section chief can actually gather so many powerful people."
He clicked his tongue, shook his head slightly and said, "It's all about interests. Even if there is no account book he mentioned, we can still figure it out."
"Since the audit team formed by the Finance Department and the Audit Department arrived, they have reviewed all the accounts of the Food Corporation since its establishment."
Zhou Zechuan sat back in his chair and said with emotion: "Who would have believed that a vice president could take away more than 80,000 yuan? It's a huge fortune."
"I'm afraid it's the God of Wealth passing by."
Yang Jun closed the investigation report in his hand, picked up the teacup, looked at him and asked, "Can the audit team find out who accepted his bribes?"
"There is no direct evidence, unless we can find the account book." Zhou Zechuan reported with a frown: "The testimony of Zheng Xudong's relatives alone is not enough."
"But since the audit has found problems with the construction and logistics support, it means that the case can still be investigated further."
Zhou Zechuan frowned and said, "I have asked the investigation team to divide into groups and go to the Engineering Management Department, Engineering General Company, Business Management Department and Procurement and Supply Department to conduct investigations."
"At the same time, I also informed the Finance Department and the Audit Department. A larger audit team will soon go to these units to conduct audit investigations."
He got angry and said, "If I don't get to the bottom of these bastards, I won't be named Zhou."
"Hmm..." Yang Jun let out a long breath, put down the teacup in his hand, looked at the organizational structure chart of the Red Star Steel Group, and said, "If you continue to investigate like this, have you ever thought about the consequences for yourself?"
"You have to know that such a large-scale investigation will definitely offend Deputy Director Xue and Deputy Director Zhang."
“I have no way out.”
Zhou Zechuan's face was full of determination, and he smiled bitterly: "I have already offended Deputy Director Gu, the leader in charge, so how can I care about other leaders?"
"You acted on impulse." Yang Jun glared at him, then put down the watch and said calmly, "But you are brave, so let's arrange it this way."
Zhou Zechuan was willing to sacrifice his life, so why would Yang Jun be reluctant to do so? Unless one of them compromised first and took the initiative to talk to him.
Of course, the party that actively came to him to compromise would be willing to give in and be at the mercy of others. Therefore, no one had come to him until now.
Should we make a last-ditch effort? Or should we throw everything we have at stake and fight to the bitter end?
Since these parties are unwilling to compromise, it would be a good thing for Zhou Zechuan to be more fierce, more decisive, and more sharp.
big deal...
-
"What? You-"
Zhang Jinsong pointed at his secretary, so angry that he couldn't speak. He raised his hand and swept the teacup that the secretary had just brought to the ground.
Snap——
Jingdezhen's exquisite fine porcelain makes a crisp and pleasant sound when it falls to the ground. After a "one-time" appraisal, this teacup is top quality.
Broken porcelain pieces mixed with tea burst and splashed onto secretary Huang Jianguo's newly bought leather shoes, but he didn't dare to bend down to wipe them.
It was the coldest time of winter and the room was not very hot. Beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down Huang Jianguo's forehead, as if he couldn't stop.
He didn't even dare to bend down to wipe the water drops on his leather shoes, let alone raise his hand to wipe the sweat beads on his forehead.
It’s good to sweat, it’s good to sweat, so that the leader can see that he is really regretful and really scared.
"Who told you to do this? Tell me!"
Zhang Jinsong was so angry that he raised his hand and slapped the table. The pens on the table jumped up, which showed how great the force was.
Zhang Jinsong's palms turned red and swollen, and he wished he could slap his secretary Huang Jianguo in the face.
"Leader, I... I was wrong..." Huang Jianguo explained with tears in his voice, "I saw that you liked to smoke Zhonghua cigarettes and drink Fenjiu, so I... I didn't know that he... I just said something for him, who would have thought..."
"Shut up!" Zhang Jinsong wanted to slap himself twice. Why was he so rude? "Did I ask you to pay for my cigarettes and alcohol?"
This didn't make sense. Huang Jianguo stammered and couldn't say anything, but he was not convinced in his heart. Who was it that praised him for his ability in the first place?
He certainly didn't dare say out loud what he was thinking, but he couldn't hide it on his face, and Zhang Jinsong saw it all.
"I really am..." Zhang Jinsong gnashed his teeth in hatred, "Did I ask you where the cigarettes and alcohol came from? How did you answer me?"
"Leader..." Huang Jianguo had no idea how to answer and was too terrified to speak.
If I really have to take on all these things myself, I don't know how much suffering I will have to endure.
When he presented the treasures, he was also very careful and only told Zhang Jinsong that these things were stolen from the sales company.
At that time, Zhang Jinsong reminded him not to do so, and that one should not take advantage of public property, otherwise he would be making a mistake.
But Huang Jianguo's answer was vague, saying only that these things were benefits coordinated by the sales head office from joint units, and the price was very cheap.
His explanation was not out of the ordinary, as the Tianjin Trade Management Center of the sales company often had unplanned products from joint units put online.
These products are circulated through internal welfare circulation, so there are naturally certain discounts on the prices, and they will never be exchanged at the store’s sales price.
But even if there is a certain discount, it will not be a very low price, let alone tobacco and alcohol, how can it be circulated to the trade management center for free.
Furthermore, Zhang Jinsong has only been in the group for a few days, and his secretary has some experience and ability. How could he possibly take advantage of the sales headquarters?
Neither this explanation nor this reason would hold water, but Zhang Jinsong trusted this secretary and had no experience or knowledge in this area.
At first, Zhang Jinsong was envious because he saw that the secretary-general had stored a lot of wine in the guesthouse, and because the secretary-general did not smoke, he rewarded his subordinates with a lot of good cigarettes.
The leader's intention is the direction of the secretary's work, and the leader's envy is the goal of the secretary's efforts.
So, the Secretary-General stored some wine in the guesthouse, and Huang Jianguo also stored some wine for Deputy Director Zhang in the guesthouse.
Not only does the guesthouse store wine, but several other hotels, such as the International Hotel and Qinyuanchun, also store a lot of wine, and even in the trunk of Deputy Director Zhang's car.
If this is the case with alcohol, then cigarettes are even more outrageous.
Zhang Jinsong is an arrogant man. Li Xuewu treats his subordinates generously, so he cannot be stingy.
The cabinet under the desk is full of cigarettes. It has never been empty since he started working at the group, and he has never been short of cigarettes.
If you say that Zhang Jinsong was inhumane and unreasonable for slamming the table and cursing, you could think about it. Huang Jianguo prepared these things for the leaders, but didn't he put a penny into his own pocket?
As for the 80/20 rule in government agencies, everyone knows that you should give 20% of the benefits to your boss and keep 80% for yourself to barely make a living.
Even so, I still have to complain about my poverty to my boss from time to time, asking him to be more considerate and not to be too fussy about the write-off.
After all, the office is permanent, but the leaders come and go.
But the premise for doing so is that everything is fine and going smoothly. Otherwise, there will be some blind people who will lift the lid and expose all the filth and filth.
Now there are those who are short-sighted. Zhou Zechuan from the Discipline and Supervision Department is like a mad dog. He has brought the investigation team and the audit team to make the Food Corporation a mess, and it is not enough. He has also set his sights on the Business Management Department and the Engineering Management Department.
If it is really an end-of-year audit, no one will be afraid. After all, checking accounts and investigating cases are two different things, and there will be no targeted inspection.
Unfortunately, Li Baihui from the Dispatch Office was defeated, Zheng Xudong from the Food Corporation was defeated, and it looked like Liang Zuodong from the General Management Department was also going to be defeated.
The case got bigger and bigger the more it was investigated, the more people were involved. Huang Jianguo saw that things were not going well, so he quickly came to Deputy Director Zhang to ask for advice.
The Business Management Department is responsible for the Logistics Department, Service Department and Procurement and Supply Department. The authority of the first two departments has been greatly reduced, but the newly established Procurement and Supply Department is a lucrative office with many lucrative positions.
The secretary of the supervisor greeted them, and there was still one person who was not proactive?
As long as they drag the leader's secretary into the water, they will still be able to get whatever they want.
Huang Jianguo had no idea how capable he was. The first time he greeted his subordinates, Zheng Xudong sent him 500 yuan.
You have to know, at that time, it was 500 yuan!
Huang Jianguo’s monthly salary is less than 50 yuan, which is his annual salary. How could he not be jealous?
He didn't pay attention to what the Purchasing and Supply Department did, but he knew that the cigarettes and alcohol he gave to his leader must be enough.
He was not a reckless person. He was always cautious when greeting his subordinates and warned himself that this was the last time every time he collected money.
But when Deputy Director Zhang rarely smiled and praised him for his connections, and when his girlfriend kissed him in surprise after receiving a gift, he knew that the next time would not be the last.
Nowadays, Huang Jianguo doesn’t know how many times he has received 500 yuan, and he can’t remember how much he spent on his boss and how much he spent on himself.
Zhang Jinsong was already deflated and didn't have the energy to scold Huang Jianguo anymore because he himself was not clean either.
I remembered that I used to despise Li Xuewu for winning people's hearts, but now he is neither human nor ghost.
"Leader..." Huang Jianguo saw him sitting there in silence, and asked in a trembling voice: "Leader, what should I do?"
"Go—go—"
There was no trace of the previous seriousness and arrogance on Zhang Jinsong's face, nor was there the reserve and severity of a young and promising man. He just waved his hand without even looking at him.
Huang Jianguo thought that the leader wanted to think about it carefully, was disappointed in him, didn't want to see him, and asked him to leave for the time being.
He hesitated for a moment, then turned around and walked outside. He had only taken two steps when he heard the leader behind him say, "Go to the Discipline Inspection Commission and explain the problem yourself. Try to take the initiative."
"Deputy Director Zhang--" Huang Jianguo was so surprised that he turned around and looked at him blankly.
"Go ahead. It's better than me sending you there."
In his eyes, Deputy Director Zhang had never been so desolate before. He sat there looking out the window with a gloomy look on his face, as if he had lost all hope and was about to die.
"You go first and tell the truth." Zhang Jinsong's voice seemed to come from outside the window, "I will go to Deputy Director Gu later."
"Leader, do we have no room for easing the situation?"
Huang Jianguo cried and said, "It doesn't matter to me as a section officer, but you..."
He wanted to say more, but Zhang Jinsong had already closed his eyes.
Deputy Director Zhang was arrogant after all. Even though such a big thing happened, he still let his secretary go first and stayed behind to bear everything.
There are always certain benefits to being honest first.
After all, it was he who used those cigarettes and alcohol. Even if he got angry, even if he called the disciplinary supervisor to investigate and severely punish Huang Jianguo, it would be useless.
If something goes wrong with his secretary, can he, as a leader, still run away?
It is always a mistake to not be strict with your subordinates.
-
"How did it involve Zhang Jinsong?"
Li Huaide was very annoyed. He stared at Li Xuewu who was sitting across the desk and asked, "Do we still need to investigate this case?"
This was the first time the two had a conversation about the case and related issues since they failed to reach an agreement last time.
We meet every day, but we never bring up this issue. It seems like we are waiting for the issue to develop further and see the result.
However, Li Huaide did not expect that Zhang Jinsong would be involved in the case. His right eyelid twitched violently and his tone became unfriendly.
Li Xuewu was silent for a while, then he said: "From the beginning I didn't agree to complicate the issue, I knew this day would come."
"What are you talking about?" Li Huaide's eyebrows were about to stand up, and he said seriously, "Do we have to suppress the problem when it happens?"
"How could I not know that your principle as Secretary-General is that if something goes wrong, you clean up the mess for them?"
"That's better than cleaning up Deputy Director Zhang's mess, right?"
Li Xuewu's answer was so indifferent that it made Li Huaide's lungs ache. It seemed as if he was saying: It's better than cleaning up your Director Li's mess.
Has Li Xuewu ever wiped his butt?
It must be admitted that he did a lot of stupid things, and many of them were actually solved by Li Xuewu.
But speaking objectively and putting aside the contradictions, is Li Xuewu not at fault?
"Have you ever thought about this?" Li Huaide pointed at the desk and asked seriously, "Once this case involves Deputy Director Xue and Deputy Director Zhang, the problem will spread in an uncontrollable direction."
"When the time comes, you want to handle it properly. Even if you don't want to investigate further, it will be impossible!"
"Is the case up to now what I want to investigate?"
Li Xuewu raised his head, looked into Li Huaide's eyes and asked, "Does it mean that I can stop when I want to stop and start when I want to start?"
"Now that there is a problem, instead of solving it, are we going to solve the person who discovered it? How do you want me to tell the disciplinary inspectors?"
He placed the notebook in his hand on the desk lightly and said in a calm tone: "Can I still call a halt as the Secretary-General?"
"That can't be--"
Li Huaide spread his hands anxiously, unable to finish the second half of his sentence and choked back, slapping the table and saying, "Comrade Xuewu, please consider the overall situation."
"I want to consider your ideas, but can I turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to the opinions of other comrades?"
His tone softened a bit, and he said, "If you have any opinions, you can study them slowly, if you have any ideas, you can solve them slowly. Why bother with this?"
"If we take those two irrelevant people out for a stroll and hang them on the clothesline to dry, will the leaders above us be happy?"
"I don't deserve your words, let alone agree with them." Although Li Xuewu's words were tough, his tone was not fierce. He said calmly, "I still say the same thing. The case was started by me, but it was not my fault."
"Another thing is that I can't just stop the case. I don't deny that I pay attention to this case, but my influence and involvement in this case are definitely not as much or as great as you think."
Can Li Huaide believe what he said?
It would be better to believe that Li Xuewu is Qin Shi Huang!
"I never hide anything from you. I tell you everything I have to say."
Li Xuewu raised his hand and pressed it on the notebook, and said bluntly: "The person who pushed this case forward is definitely not me."
"As much as I'd like to see this case solved, those bugs should be caught."
He looked at Li Huaide and said, "I was also surprised by what happened to Deputy Director Xue and Deputy Director Zhang, but I do not agree with passive handling. We should solve problems if there are any."
“Is this something that can be dealt with by solving the problem?”
Li Huaide glanced at the door of the office and said in a low voice: "Su Weide must have something on Zhang Jinsong's secretary and wants to get him down."
"Huang Jianguo is not Deputy Director Zhang." Li Xuewu shook his head slightly, "Deputy Director Zhang's weak spot is not something that anyone can manipulate."
"But..." Li Huaide pursed his lips and emphasized: "Now that he can't move you and me, he wants to bite Zhang Jinsong to death!"
"Once Zhang Jinsong falls, the higher-ups will definitely turn against us!"
Li Huaide clenched his fists and slammed them lightly on his desk, saying angrily: "Zhang Jinsong has only been in the group for less than a year, and the situation is too ugly."
Yes, Zhang Jinsong failed here, and squad leader Li Huaide was to blame and would inevitably have to bear the brunt of the consequences.
Another thing is that Li Huaide never thought of touching Zhang Jinsong.
But what does this have to do with Li Xuewu?
