Era: A college student came to the courtyard house

come back to the office,

Who's on duty in logistics today? I need to contact the steel mill kitchen and get some noodles cooked—that's a tough task…

Oh no, I should thank Fang Yuan for having the shuttle driver take him home.

After half an hour.

Luo Qingfeng returned and told him that the interrogation was over.

Fang Yuan looked through the records one by one and exclaimed, "Wow, that's a huge case! It took a year to complete and the amount involved was over 13,000 yuan!"

He wouldn't mind being shot ten times over.

However, what puzzled him was why the person Niu Dazhuang mentioned was not on the record. Could it be that the account book did not contain him?

Fang Yuan glanced at the clock on the wall; there were still ten minutes until the meeting started. He then told Luo Qingfeng to pack his things and go back to rest.

The interrogation room will be guarded by the security department tonight. Professional matters should be left to professionals, and this kind of work is naturally not something that the inspection department people need to do.

After Luo Qingfeng left, Fang Yuan also left the office and went to the conference room on the fifth floor.

Before he even stepped inside, Huang Xiang's cursing reached his ears.

The branch factory manager, who was good at hiding his true thoughts, no longer cared about his appearance, and babbling idioms came out of his mouth.

In Fang Yuan's view, since his subordinates had gotten into this mess, regardless of whether Huang Xiang was involved or not, he was destined to bear some joint responsibility, since he was the head of the steel rolling mill.

Huang Xiang knew Ye Men very well, but getting angry at this moment was something he should do, and had to do.

He actually knew a little about Song Qinkuai's character, but this guy usually had a pretty good relationship with the security department and was quite capable of achieving results, so Huang Xiang didn't pay much attention to him.

In his mind, anyone who could bring glory to the steel rolling mill would be given an important position.

Now it seems we were really fooled by Song Qinkuai; this guy actually opened up his path by bribing officials.

What really angered him was the timing of this incident. It was neither too early nor too late; the newspaper assault incident had just ended when this corruption and theft case came right afterward.

This made Huang Xiang suspect that someone was deliberately targeting him and trying to prevent him from taking the position.

But for a moment I couldn't figure out who was behind it!

Besides Huang Xiang's cursing, Zhao Wu, the head of the security department, also acted as if he was in a very bad mood, and would occasionally chime in with a few curses along with Huang Xiang's complaints.

After all, in the eyes of outsiders, Song Qinkuai was one of the people on his security line, so he naturally bore some responsibility for what happened, although his responsibility was much lighter than Huang Xiang's.

Even after Lin Xianghua entered, the two of them deliberately put on a show, giving Song Qinkuai and the others a good scolding.

Lin Xianghua ignored the two of them, sticking to his usual style of not pursuing responsibility during the meeting.

"Fang Yuan, please report the details."

At Lin Xianghua's signal, Sun Daxing quickly greeted Fang Yuan, who was sitting in the back row.

Fang Yuan immediately stood up and said, "This theft and corruption case was reported by Mu Wenbin, a member of the factory's security team..."

As he spoke, the only sound in the meeting room for a moment was the smoking of everyone exhaling smoke.

In conclusion, Fang Yuan said, "This was a self-examination by our factory. Thanks to the proper planning of the leaders, we were able to successfully root out the pests in the steel rolling mill and achieve the final victory in cracking the major theft case on June 6.29."

To be on the safe side, Fang Yuan only mentioned theft here. Before the official determination is made, it is not appropriate for him to use the word "corruption".

Upon hearing this, Lin Xianghua angrily exclaimed, "Trojan horses! Trojan horses!"

"Aren't the lessons we learned from Liu Qingshan and Zhang Zishan enough? It's unbelievable that such a shocking corruption case would occur in our factory."

Huang Xiang hurriedly stated, "Secretary Lin, I bear responsibility! If only we had discovered it sooner, we would have been fine. We failed to protect the steel rolling mill's property and materials. Fortunately, we have talented people like Fang Yuan, otherwise we wouldn't have discovered it. I must apologize."

Zhao Wu immediately chimed in, "Our security department also bears responsibility. I never expected things to escalate to this point. It's my fault that our department has produced such a black sheep as Song Qinkuai."

"The Supervision Section did a great job, especially Fang Yuan. His interrogation was thorough and his arrest was timely, which is why the case was handled properly."

Seeing that the two were drawing the flames of conflict to him, Fang Yuan was about to leave when he hurriedly spoke up again: "It is all thanks to the leaders' strategic planning and skillful command, the timely discovery of clues by the comrades in the Security Department, and the strong support from various departments that our Supervision Section was able to effectively investigate the case."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the conference room turned to look at him.

No one expected that Fang Yuan would refuse such a great contribution, and his words implied that he was actually trying to deflect the responsibility.

This kid is something else!

Not only is he capable, but his composure is also truly commendable.

Huang Xiang, in particular, looked at Zhao Wu with a completely different expression when he heard that the case was caused by the guards.

Just now, the two of them were cursing each other like buddies in misfortune, and it turns out you're actually turning the knife inward and correcting yourself.

In that case, he'd be taking the blame for something he shouldn't have.

The person most satisfied with Fang Yuan's words was Lin Xianghua, who was in the center. He had been frowning since entering the room, but now a smile appeared on his face.

Not bad, at least you didn't let yourself get carried away.

In his view, whoever takes the credit will be put on the hot seat.

The current situation at the steel rolling mill has become a battleground between Su Haixiong and Yang Songlin, with the two clearly taking turns using straightforward tactics.

The last time Yang Songlin hit a reporter was when he unexpectedly tried to put Su Haixiong in a bad light.

This time, it was clearly Su Haixiong who instructed Sun Daxing and Zhao Wu to use Song Qinkuai's corruption case to bring Huang Xiang down.

Lin Xianghua has a bottom line: he will never show mercy to those who have committed crimes or dereliction of duty, but he will never help those who want to take advantage of the situation to cause chaos.

Before he came, his father-in-law had repeatedly told him that his first task after arriving at Hongxing Steel Plant was to mediate the relationship between Su Haixiong and Yang Songlin and to be a good "mud maker" before taking over the job smoothly.

At first, he didn't think much of it.

It now seems that the higher-ups must have heard about their relationship long ago, which also suggests that if he doesn't do a good job as a "mud maker," it might even affect whether he can successfully take over the business in the future.

Now everyone knows that Fang Yuan is the person he sent. If Fang Yuan is involved, it's tantamount to dragging him down with him, which is a situation Lin Xianghua doesn't want to see.

Therefore, Fang Yuan's selfless performance made him look at this young man in a new light once again.

He had already made up his mind that he would not say anything openly, but he would make sure Sun Daxing praised him properly in secret.

It's just that Fang Yuan's time at Hongxing was too short; otherwise, he would definitely have been promoted again.

In order to prevent Fang Yuan from becoming the focus of everyone's attention.

Without giving Huang Xiang and Zhao Wu a chance to speak, Lin Xianghua stated definitively, "My opinion is that they should all be brought to justice. The evidence must be solid, it must stand the test of history, and we must ensure that even if officials from higher authorities come to inquire, they cannot find any fault with it."

The three consecutive "must" statements demonstrate both Lin Xianghua's decisiveness and his meticulousness.

Then, at Lin Xianghua's prompting, Fang Yuan went out the door.

It was clear that the topics discussed in the meeting room that followed were beyond his involvement.

Just as he had expected, after Lin Xianghua handed Song Qinkuai's diary to the attendees for them to look at one by one...

Huang Xiang cursed again: "Damn it, I think if all these corrupt officials were shot in a row, some might be wrongly accused. But if you shoot them one by one, there will definitely be some who escape."
