Take Arada back to the past

Chapter 793, Sweeped Away
Yang Xiaole returned to the department and quietly got to work.

After writing the materials, Zheng Ruiyang delivered them to Director Li.

More than an hour later, Zheng Ruiyang called, saying that the department needed to hold a meeting.

Yang Xiaole agreed and then hung up the phone.

I packed my things and walked towards the department.

Upon arriving at the office, everyone was puzzled, wondering what kind of meeting was going to be held this time.

After Yang Xiaole sat down, he chatted with people he knew.

Li Zhenghong returned shortly afterward.

The room immediately fell silent.

After Li Zhenghong sat down, he looked at everyone and then took out a document, saying, "Comrades, this is truly heartbreaking. After so many profound ideological education sessions, it's unbelievable that such a scourge could still appear in our unit."

This statement is baffling.

My heart skipped a beat.

Who's going to be unlucky this time?!

After a pause, Li Zhenghong said, "Today I received a report that someone actually dared to touch the compensation money of the comrades who bled and sacrificed their lives in order to protect them. How outrageous is this?"

"Bang bang bang~~"

He slammed his hand on the table.

Everyone present was a seasoned veteran, and they instinctively glanced at Wei Feng, whose expression was rather grim.

This is about to cause trouble.

Everyone knows who it is.

Because one of the people present was missing, the head of the labor and personnel department.

Li Zhenghong was there giving a rough outline of what had happened.

After explaining the situation, he continued, "The report includes Comrade Han Zhihong. Until the investigation is complete, suspend Comrade Han Zhihong from his duties. Deputy Director Wei, you are in charge of the security department. Please investigate thoroughly and ensure that this kind of parasite is not allowed to infiltrate our ranks."

Yang Xiaole was watching from there.

Li Zhenghong was also quite helpless.

The security personnel were Wei Feng's men, and he couldn't control them.

But there's an advantage to this: it lets these people fight like dogs.

Once there is evidence, Wei Feng has no choice but to act.

If Li Zhenghong seizes the opportunity, he will definitely arrange for his own people to take over.

Fortunately, the propaganda department was in Li Zhenghong's hands; otherwise, it would have been even more troublesome.

Seeing this, Wei Feng nodded and said, "Okay, I will definitely investigate thoroughly. We absolutely cannot let our comrades bleed and weep again."

The meeting was very short.

It was over in no time.

Wei Feng glanced at Yang Xiaole, a hint of gloom in his eyes.

It's all this guy.

After we arrived, things became quite unsettled here.

He had just asked Han Zhihong, and Yang Xiaole had inquired about the compensation this morning.

He would never believe that this matter had nothing to do with Yang Xiaole.

Yang Xiaole naturally didn't pay any attention to his gaze.

These guys were discussing how to get rid of him, so how could he not respond?

Waiting for the other party to make a move, and then responding accordingly?
nonexistent.

Once this trend emerges, it needs to be nipped in the bud.

He left the office, unconcerned.

Yang Xiaole returned to his office and kept an eye on things in the building while he was busy working.

……

Wei Feng then arrived at the interrogation room and unleashed a torrent of anger.

Then he turned to Han Zhihong and asked, "Are you sure all the accounts have been settled?"

Han Zhihong nodded and said, "Don't worry, these are all verifiable accounts. They were all used within the company. If you look further up, those account books were burned when things got messy a few years ago."

Wei Feng was relieved upon hearing this: "That's good. Don't make any mistakes. If there's a problem with the accounts, we're all finished. Do you understand?"

"Director Wei, don't worry, there won't be any problems. At most, Xiao Zhao will just be asked to do things according to the requirements, and he'll be sent to the farm for a few months before being promoted."

Han Zhihong was speaking there.

His eyes were just moving around.

Wei Feng had no idea what he was thinking.

He pondered for a moment, then said, "No, we need to fight back, but unfortunately there haven't been any good opportunities lately!"

Han Zhihong also expressed his approval.

Yes!

As time went on, ideological work was still being carried out very diligently.

But nothing serious happened.

……

Yang Xiaole was watching from there.

Han Zhihong said he didn't believe that there was no backup plan.

why.

It's because people don't trust each other.

How could these people do bad things without keeping a ledger? The ledger is a handle against them.

Anyone with a sound mind would keep something in reserve.

He didn't believe that Han Zhihong, that old fox, was completely unprepared. The reason he hadn't spoken up was simply because the time wasn't right.

He simply couldn't figure out where Han Zhihong would have put the things.

He has already searched the other person's home and workplace.

did not find.

With that in mind, he made a call to the planning and finance department.

"Guo Lang, come to my office."

I hung up the phone and waited there.

After a while, Guo Lang finally arrived.

"Director, is there something you need?"

Seeing the other person's nervous expression, Yang Xiaole smiled and said, "Don't worry, I just want to ask you a few questions. Sit down! Here, have a cigarette."

He offered the other person a cigarette.

Guo Lang took it but didn't dare to smoke it.

He asked with some concern, "Director, is something the matter? Please tell me."

Seeing that the other person wasn't smoking, Yang Xiaole didn't try to persuade him.

Instead, he asked, "You've been with the company for so long, you should be quite familiar with the personnel department! How much do you know about Han Zhihong? What's his work style like?"

If Han Zhihong doesn't have it at home, it must be stored outside.

It's either at a relative's house or at a lover's house.

Guo Lang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that it wasn't about him.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Well, how should I put it? Han Zhihong used to be just an ordinary staff member in their labor and personnel department. As for his work style..."

After thinking for a moment, he said, "There used to be a woman in his department with whom he had an unclear relationship. Maybe he was afraid of causing trouble. The year before last, that woman was transferred to a lower-level unit to work in finance."

Yang Xiaole pondered upon hearing this.

The "lower units" that Guo Lang mentioned are not their subordinate units; they are independently operated.

However, many import and export matters require the cooperation of these units.

I don't know if we still keep in touch.

Thinking of this, he asked, "Which organization is it, and what is its name?"

"Her name is Qi Ting. She works at the alcohol factory not far away. They produce industrial alcohol."

Yang Xiaole knew which organization it was as soon as he heard it.

Medical alcohol is also a type of industrial alcohol.

"Okay, I understand. Is there anything else?"

Guo Lang thought for a moment and shook his head: "I really don't know anything else, but I can try to find out."

"Alright, you can go ahead and get busy!"

Upon hearing this, Guo Lang left.

After everyone left, Yang Xiaole pondered for a moment.

After a while, he put out the cigarette and left the workplace.

He then secretly went to the alcohol factory.

This place used to be a winery, but it was later converted into an industrial alcohol plant using biological fermentation.

He soon found Qi Ting's information in the file.

Please leave again at the address provided above.

"Goodness, they hid it pretty well! If the two of them aren't related, then it's really a ghost story."

really.

He found an account book in Qi Ting's room.

It records where the money went.

Good heavens, this is going to be a major earthquake in the department!

There weren't many people, only six in total. But they were all in very important positions.

In particular, Zhou Yong from the Personnel and Security Department.

This is a crucial department that Li Zhenghong is very concerned about. Without this department, it would be extremely difficult to investigate anything within the organization.

He patted the things in his hands.

If others were to conduct the investigation, they would need to explore it step by step, conducting a covert investigation.

This is no problem for him.

I didn't expect to get it so easily.

He took the items and returned to the office.

It was almost time to leave work.

He took the things and went directly to Li Zhenghong's office.

"Director Li!"

"Comrade Yang Xiaole! What's up? Did you need to see me?"

Li Zhenghong chuckled and put down his pen.

Yang Xiaole hummed in agreement and handed him the documents in his hand: "Director Li, these are the documents I found. Take a look. They are all Han Zhihong's notes, which detail the money they have embezzled over the years. The amount is huge."

"Found it so quickly?"

Li Zhenghong stood up in surprise, picked up the booklet, and looked at it.

His face then turned ashen: "This is appalling! It's utterly inhuman!"

Relying on mountains to eat mountains, relying on water to draft water.

It's normal to take advantage of small things; it's considered an unspoken rule.

But how utterly depraved is this act of embezzling other people's money?

Yang Xiaole wasn't so surprised by this.

This was so convenient for them to do, mainly because during that chaotic period, many accounts could not be found.

It's all become a mess.

It is also very difficult to conduct an investigation.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole said, "Director Li, I'm handing the things over to you. I can't handle these people."

Don't say it's him.

Even Li Zhenghong couldn't handle it directly.

Especially Wei Feng.

After all, it's only half a level lower, so it needs to be resolved by higher-level leaders.

Upon hearing this, Li Zhenghong said seriously, "Okay, I understand. Leave this to me. I have to go out for a bit."

Yang Xiaole naturally knew this.

Moreover, there are many benefits involved, given that so many positions are now vacant.

Unfortunately, he wasn't high enough in rank, or he didn't have any particularly good connections.

Otherwise, I could lend a helping hand.

He said hello and then left.

Back in the office, it was almost time to leave work.

……

Upon returning home, the first thing I did was naturally to check on my child.

"How's it going? Are you okay?"

Qu Ying was lying on the kang (a heated brick bed), her whole body was soaked.

Hearing this, she smiled and said, "I'm fine, it's just unbearably hot, and I can't use a fan."

Yang Xiaole smiled and said, "Actually, I don't think it's necessary. The heat can make people feel unwell."

That's how it is these days.

Having a baby in the summer is a miserable experience.

It should not be exposed to wind.

Qu Ying's sweat was partly due to her physical weakness, a common condition among pregnant women, and partly due to the heat.

Yang Xiaole didn't understand either, and didn't even dare to give her the cool well water to drink.

They can only drink ordinary well water.

Hearing this, Qu Ying sighed helplessly: "Never mind, it's only a month anyway."

"Okay, then you should change your clothes more often, otherwise you'll feel uncomfortable."

As Yang Xiaole spoke, he walked to the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed).

Seeing that the eldest daughter was still smacking her lips in her sleep, I poked at her with my finger.

Qu Ying watched with a smile.

"Why are you fiddling with the child while he's sleeping? Are you just bored?"

Lost in thought, Wang Qiuju walked in carrying a bowl of chicken noodle soup, complaining to him.

Yang Xiaole said speechlessly, "I can't even tease my own daughter! Xiaoli and Xizi, you two must have teased them a lot when you were little!"

Wang Qiuju glared at him: "Don't mess with your cheeks, or you'll drool when you grow up. Come on, eat first. I'll make you a bowl of sweet egg soup before you go to bed."

The following sentence was naturally addressed to Qu Ying.

Qu Ying took the noodles and started eating.

Yang Xiaole smiled there.

It's an old saying, you shouldn't pinch a child's cheeks, I don't know who said that.

Watching Qu Ying eat her meal.

This is a meal for pregnant women.

We eat at different times than them.

Pregnant women expend a lot of energy while breastfeeding, since both babies need to eat as well.

The two chatted for a while, and then it was time for dinner.

"Oh, by the way, your uncle's son, Ziqiang, is going to be sent to the countryside."

During the conversation, Wang Qiuju suddenly said something.

Yang Xiaole was stunned for a moment upon hearing this.

Then it dawned on me: "They've grown so big? Have you found out where they are?"

It's already early July, and this year's students are about to graduate.

Those who cannot go to high school after junior high school must go to school.

Wang Qiuju nodded and said, "Yes! Time flies! They say it's Fangshan, which isn't too far from here. Let alone self-reliance, if I can't get into high school by the summer of this year or the year after, I'll have to go to the countryside."

Yang Xiaole hummed in agreement.

Indeed, they've all grown up.

At that time, both junior high and high school were two-year programs, so time really flew by.

According to the current schooling model.

You can graduate from university at the age of 19.

In the past, 19 would have just started college.

These days, whether you can get into high school still depends on your connections.

Then came a wave of curiosity: "Why didn't Ziqiang go to high school?"

“Hey! It’s not your uncle’s fault, it’s Ziqiang’s fault. Most of his classmates couldn’t go to high school, so he didn’t go. He signed up to go to the countryside. Now your uncle has no choice.”

Wang Qiuju was talking there.

Yang Xiaole responded with a "hmm".

Indeed, times have changed. Once you've registered, it's practically impossible to withdraw.

If my uncle dares to object, then he is opposing the current policy.

If someone brings this up, my uncle will be lectured.

Yang Xiaole then calculated the number of her children.

It was around the 1990s when I finally graduated from university.

……

The following day, Yang Xiaole went to work as usual.

There was no meeting that day.

Because an investigation team came down from above.

Yang Xiaole naturally knew that this was Li Zhenghong's operation last night.

The special period isn't over yet!

Wei Feng and others were naturally set up as role models.

The conference lasted for three days.

In the end, Wei Feng and his six companions, along with more than twenty others implicated by him, went to the farm.

The entire office immediately became lively.

With so many positions suddenly available, some people are using connections, while others are competing for them.

And the same goes for Yang Xiaole.

There was nothing they could do; the department already knew it was Yang Xiaole's doing.

Moreover, Yang Xiaole has one vote at the meeting.

Naturally, we should strive to achieve whatever we can.
