1988: Back to the human world for a few years

Chapter 159: Digging Three Feet Deep (2)

14.07.

After Yang Mo "rolled the roll" six little bugs with shit all over their butts at a speed that shocked everyone, he finally started to upgrade and began to focus on the management of the tertiary industry service company of Linpan Oilfield.

"Yao Shanping, as the deputy manager of the tertiary industry service company in charge of production safety of subordinate units, you should know what you have done in the seven years in office... Come, please sign the excerpts of these financial details and internal administrative documents."

Yang Mo buried his head in reading the new information in his hands while throwing a thick stack of materials over.

The man who came in was in his early forties. Although his square face did not look dignified at all, he did not show any panic either.

"I can sign and accept the investigation. I am upright and honest... But I want to know, Captain Yang, what kind of false accusation do you want to frame me with?"

Yao Shanping looked at Yang Mo and the team members in the room calmly, with a hint of sarcasm and indignation in the corners of his eyes.

Seeing this guy making himself look like Yue Fei in the Fengbo Pavilion incident, Yang Mo snorted: "False accusation?"

"In seven years in office, you pocketed 218 million just by setting up private fines... Should I say you are too stupid, or should I say you are too self-righteous?"

When Yao Shanping heard the words "privately set fines", his eyes twitched, and then he shook his head calmly: "You are slandering me... Although I, Yao Shanping, don't have much ability, I have worked diligently in the past few years since I took office. Whenever my employees report problems with production safety, I will investigate and resolve them as soon as possible."

As he spoke, Yao Shanping took a deep breath and met Yang Mo's gaze. "I admit that there are many chaos in the subordinate units of Linpan Tertiary Industry Service Company, including arbitrary fines. If you must hold me accountable, I am willing to take the responsibility for poor management... Although there are objective factors such as too many subordinate units and difficulty in supervision, I have not done my job well, and I will accept any punishment from the organization!"

"but……"

Yao Shanping's face was filled with anger, and his voice became louder: "But if you guys, Captain Yang, want to pin the blame of embezzling 218 million on me, I'm sorry... I won't admit it!"

At this point, Yao Shanping took a few deep breaths, trying to calm his expression again, and then said in a confident and proud tone: "If the leaders are willing, you can go to the grassroots to visit... Although I, Yao Shanping, don't have much ability, I am anxious about the people's urgent needs, and I think I have done a good job;"

"In fact, over the years, whenever employees from subordinate units reported the phenomenon of privately setting up projects and arbitrarily imposing fines, I was the first to rush to the front line. Even under tremendous pressure, I would dismiss all the safety supervisors who violated the regulations and impose the maximum penalty on them all!"

After a brief pause, Yao Shanping looked around at everyone again, his tone becoming neither sad nor happy: "This is something that all employees have seen... In seven years, I have dismissed more than 47 safety supervisors who violated regulations!"

"Oh, a soldier can be killed but not humiliated. If you want to investigate me, Captain Yang, please change the charge!"

"You put the blame of setting a private fine and embezzling 218 million yuan on a deputy manager who conducts safety production management rectification every year and finds a few bad apples... I don't know how the grassroots employees of Linpan Three-Industry Management Company view you, but don't you think this is a great insult to me!?"

Bai Mengmeng looked a little unnatural as she listened.

The Yao Shanping in front of us looks like a hero with integrity, but he is deliberately suppressed and punished because he has offended too many people.

Since the other party took the initiative to propose that the joint working group visit the grassroots, they are naturally very confident; and from the sorted administrative files of the Linpan Tertiary Industry Company, it can be seen that during the seven years that Yao Shanping has been in office, he has indeed dismissed 47 security supervisors who have caused great public resentment.

Could it be...

This is really a good leader who behaves uprightly. Did Yang Mo misunderstand him?

or……

As the other party said, his new master wanted to take this opportunity to deliberately make trouble for him because he was "entrusted by someone" or for some other considerations?
Thinking of this, Bai Mengmeng couldn't help but turn his gaze to Yang Mo.

After witnessing this movie star-level performance, Yang Mo had a calm expression from beginning to end: "Yao Shanping, please don't treat us as fools, and don't fool us as ordinary employees... After saying so much, do you really think that the trick of [Replacing the pawns] + [The oriole behind] is very clever?"

When Yao Shanping, who was originally filled with grief and indignation, heard the words "changing horses and pawns", his eyes couldn't help but twitch.

Yang Mo noticed his reaction and snorted, "Indeed, in the seven years since you took office, you have dismissed 47 security supervisors who arbitrarily imposed fines and fees and caused great public resentment. Most of the grassroots employees have a very good impression of you, and some of them even call you Yao Qingtian;"

"but……"

With a hint of sarcasm on his lips, Yang Mo stared at Yao Shanping with malice: "I'm curious, if those contract workers who you treated as fools knew that the 47 dismissed security supervisors were actually relatives of your trusted ones, and that they were also fined arbitrarily under your instructions and indulgence... I wonder what they would think?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yao Shanping stood up angrily: "Nonsense! If you want to accuse someone, you can always find a pretext!"

Yang Mo looked at Yao Shanping who was gently pushed back to his original position by the public security staff and sneered: "Nonsense?"

He stretched out his hand, signaling his apprentice, who looked smart but was actually a fool, to hand over the information transferred from the Personnel Department. "Cheng Yongping, male, 34 years old, from Houcang Village, served as the workshop safety supervisor of Linpan Fine Noodle Factory in June 1982. He was suspended in April 6 for ignoring company rules and regulations and imposing fines indiscriminately... This is the first production supervisor you have dismissed since you took office. If the files in the Personnel Department are correct, he and your wife's brother are from the same village, and they are childhood friends, right?"

"Li Gangdao, male, 36 years old, from Xiaocang Village, served as the safety team leader of the production workshop of Linpan Garment Factory in August 1982. He was suspended for investigation in May 8 due to charges of adding fines, imposing fines indiscriminately, and accepting bribes from workers... This is the second production supervisor to be dismissed after you became a businessman. If the information is correct, this person should be a relative of your secretary from the neighboring village. You agreed to his joining Linpan Tertiary Industry Service Company."

"Zhang Sangui, male, 32 years old..."

After reading for three minutes, Yang Mo impatiently threw the half stack of information in his hand onto the table. "Maybe these people are tight-lipped, but the relationship between them cannot be hidden from those who are interested. As a local, I understand the twists and turns among the villagers better than you... If you still want to be stubborn, I can ask people to visit these villages and find a few witnesses!"

He glanced at Yao Shanping with disdain and said, "Believe me, the relationship between the Linpan Oilfield and the nearby villages is after all a layer of separation. As a local, as long as I ask the village elders to come forward, I can find out the color of these people's underwear in one afternoon!"

Yao Shanping's previous anger disappeared without a trace, and his face became a little embarrassed: "I admit that these people have more or less something to do with me. I am willing to take the responsibility of not knowing the right people and employing the wrong people... But as I said, those people's arbitrary fines and fees were their personal behavior. Afterwards, I also gave them the maximum penalty according to company regulations, but I definitely did not gain any improper benefits from it!"

Yang Mo sneered: "The maximum penalty? Yao Shanping, are you punishing them or protecting them... As a department at the division level, the maximum penalty for Linpan Sanye Service Company is nothing more than suspension from work, review and write an apology, plus a fine of 500 yuan;"

"Although 500 yuan sounds like a lot, when these people are on the job, even in the first two years, they have to pay three to four thousand yuan a month in fines. Do they care about such a small amount of money?"

"And generally speaking, state-owned enterprises emphasize the importance of not punishing people too severely. Since you have already imposed the maximum penalty in the name of the tertiary industry service company, and this happened to contract workers, not regular employees, the oil production plant will naturally not investigate the responsibility... Huh, suspend them from work for inspection? Can't you just let them have fun at home for two months and then go to work at a subsidiary company?"

As he spoke, Yang Mo glanced sideways at the young disciple beside him who had fallen into a state of disarray. After thinking for a moment, he curled his lips in disdain: "This is a very common method of replacing pawns."

"As the deputy manager in charge of production safety, Yao Shanping would inevitably convey documents such as "Safety First" and "Responsible for the Safety of All Employees" to the production units below every year, and then he would place trusted people in the subordinate units and impose fines in various ways during the implementation process. The bulk of these fines would eventually go into his pocket, while the rest would be left to those who carried out the implementation as rewards and compensation;"

"Heh, it's just a bad name and a mild punishment. Compared to the thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan in compensation, those things are really not important. Besides, you can't lose your job, you can just change to another company to get by... So, even if there is no complicated personal relationship, there are plenty of people who are willing to be a one-time prop for Yao Shanping;"

"Although the method of changing horses and pawns is not uncommon, it requires a lot of skill to control the scale of it!"

"Obviously, this guy is a veteran who knows how to judge the right time... Whenever the employees below start to get upset, this guy will visit the grassroots and remove the people he has placed on the spot before things get out of hand. After scolding them with an excited look, he will give them the most specific punishment within his authority!... Well, maybe after scolding them, he will even burst into tears and blame himself for failing to do his job and not nipping these bad signs in the bud in the first place, in exchange for the tears of those contract workers."

After sighing with some pity, Yang Mo said in a somewhat bleak tone: "The people who can be seen and scolded by the masses are always the minor characters. They may never be able to see the truth behind the scenes, or they may not believe it even if they see it."

"Those who were placed there lost their reputation, but in return they got a stable job and a salary beyond their imagination, which was not a loss at all;"

"Yao Shanping relied on those 47 disposable props to not only rake in 218 million yuan in seven years, but also relied on those maximum penalty notices to fool outsiders, becoming the Yao Qingtian in the eyes of grassroots employees... It is no exaggeration to say that he made a fortune."

"In fact, this is just the first step. There is another trick called 'The Yellow Bird is Behind' waiting for us..."

He wanted to tell his silly little apprentice about these shameful methods, but after looking at the warning eyes of the two discipline inspection backbones, Yang Mo thought about it and gave up.

The Discipline Inspection Department is definitely one of the most special departments in all units. Although Yao Shanping's methods are extremely confusing to the grassroots, they do not contain much technical content for the backbones of the Discipline Inspection Department.

However, when it comes to working within the system, the word "scale" is the most important thing. This applies to daily work as well as this joint operation... Some things must have boundaries drawn. If you get too involved, it may be fun, but it may only do harm.

He leaned back with a lack of interest. "Anyway, I've said what I need to say. Yao Shanping, you know it's not important whether you sign these documents or not. I just said so much, just to go through the process and keep a work record... I have a lot of work to deal with right now, so I don't have time to make up for it. It's up to you whether you are willing to go through the process or not!"

When I hear the words “There is a lot of work to be done”,

Yao Shanping, looking a little gloomy, raised his head. After a few seconds of silence, he suddenly asked, "Captain Yang, I want to know... Is the work intensity in the logistics department the same?"

Yang Mo tilted his head and looked at him in surprise for a while, then nodded: "I know what you mean, don't worry, my leader is in charge of the logistics department, and in terms of intensity, it is definitely more urgent than before... But the depth of some things depends on your degree of cooperation."

We are all insightful people. There is no need to resist after some things are pointed out, and there is no need to explain some other things so clearly.

After thinking for a while, Yao Shanping nodded, took a deep breath, and directly picked up the pen to sign the two documents: "I hope what you said is true, Captain Yang. I will cooperate with the public security department in collecting evidence later... If what you said just now is not perfunctory, I will also try my best to cooperate with the subsequent debt collection work."

Yang Mo stared at him for a while, then suddenly laughed: "It seems that there are a lot of good shows on Lin Pan's side... Don't worry, I never joke about serious matters!"

Yao Shanping took a deep breath, nodded, asked for a cigarette and lit it, then took the initiative to signal two public security staff members to lead the way.

That look is very much like a gangster boss who is about to debut in the center position...
