On the first day of the New Year.
Originally, Li Dong was going to work at the company today.
However, Yuan Chengdao took the initiative to suggest that he go to work at the company, which gave Li Dong a chance to sleep in.
When he woke up, it was almost nine o 'clock.
The family subconsciously lowered their voices. They knew that Li Dong had been busy for a year and rarely had a rest, so no one made any noise.
Even Little Shitou, who was young, knew that his uncle wanted to sleep. Early in the morning, he obediently played with Cao Feng's younger brother and did not disturb Li Dong.
When Li Dong left the room, Little Shitou cheered and wiggled his little butt as he ran into Li Dong's arms.
Li Dong happily pinched the little girl's chubby face and said with a slight sigh, "He will start primary school in the second half of the year. In the blink of an eye, he has grown up. Shitou will go to primary school, Xiaoyu will go to junior high school, and Lanlan will be a senior in the second half of the year. In a few years, Liangliang will go to school. "
Cao Fang, who was preparing breakfast for him, could not help but smile and said, "In a few years, my grandson will also go to school."
Li Dong said helplessly, "Your grandson has not even shown up yet, and you have already arranged for him to go to school."
"Then give birth to one early. While I can still move, I will help take care of him."
"Mom, you are not even fifty, and you are still a middle-aged man. Why are you so anxious?"
"How can I not be anxious …"
While the mother and son were chatting, the doorbell rang.
Li Chengyuan, who was basking in the sun on the balcony, heard the doorbell ring. He hurriedly came out and said, "Is Li Qing here?"
Cao Fang rolled her eyes and gestured to Li Dong. See, I told you, your father is anxious.
Li Dong laughed and took the initiative to open the door.
When the door opened, Li Dong could not help but smile and said, "Why are you here?"
"I came to pay my New Year's greetings to the big boss. Otherwise, what can I do if you make things difficult for me? Now you are starting to make things difficult for me. It is not the New Year yet, but I know that you want to send me to the capital. Look at how old my son is. Do you have the heart to do that? "
Wang Jie joked and then greeted everyone in the house, "Uncle Li, Auntie Li, I came to pay my New Year's greetings."
Seeing Wang Jie, Cao Fang quickly said, "Xiaomei, are you here? Did you bring my grandson? "
"Yes."
"Auntie, I'm here." Wu Mei, who was behind him, called out. Then, she smiled at the little boy in her arms and said, "Quick, call them grandpa, grandma, and godfather. You don't even know how to address them."
The little boy's eyes were as bright as snow. Hearing this, his black eyeballs started to roll and he said in a childish voice, "Grandpa, grandma, godfather!"
Li Dong chuckled and rubbed his head. He said helplessly, "Other people have a bunch of goddaughters, but I'm lucky. My goddaughter doesn't even know how to speak. I feel like I'm losing out by having an adopted son."
Wang Jie was Li Dong's high school classmate and the only high school classmate that Li Dong took Far Away.
In addition, he also ran a stall with Cao Fang and her husband. Wang Jie and his wife were not strangers to Cao Fang and often came to visit them.
In addition, they had run a stall together with Cao Fang and her husband in the food market. Wang Jie and his wife were not strangers to Cao Fang and often came to visit them.
Wang Jie and his wife chatted with everyone for a while. After a while, Wang Jie looked at Li Dong and said, "Let's go down and have a smoke."
Wang Jie and his wife chatted with everyone for a while. After a while, Wang Jie looked at Li Dong and said, "Let's go down and have a smoke.
Wang Jie smiled and said, "It's New Year's Day. Let's go and have a walk. Don't be a homebody all day.
Wang Jie laughed and said, "It's the New Year. Let's relax. Let's go. Don't be a nerd all day. Wang Jie smiled and said, "It's New Year's Day. Let's relax. Don't be a homebody all day.
"Not just me, aren't you the same?"
Li Dong smiled, got up and put on his coat. Then, he followed Wang Jie downstairs.
… …
Downstairs.
The two lit a cigarette and took a few puffs. Li Dong said, "What's the matter?"
"Yes."
"About going to Beijing? If you don't want to go, you can stay here. I will ask Old Zhou to go there. You can stay here … "
Wang Jie waved his hand and said, "It's not about that. I don't mind going to Beijing. I can change the environment. Anyway, I am also a senior executive. When I go there, you can arrange things for me. I can take Wu Mei and the child with me. It will be a few years before I come back. Beijing is more prosperous than Pingchuan. I can't wait to go there. "
Seeing this, Li Dong frowned slightly. After a while, he said, "Tell me, what is it?"
Wang Jie pondered for a moment and said, "I am not sure. If it were someone else, I would not guess. But with our relationship, even if I guess, I have to mention it to you. "
Li Dong's face turned solemn. Wang Jie's job was not an ordinary job. He was the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Supervision.
What he was about to say was most likely related to this.
But what made Wang Jie hesitant and solemn, I'm afraid it's not an ordinary thing.
Thinking of this, Li Dong looked around and said, "Let's find a place to sit and talk."
Wang Jie nodded and followed Li Dong out.
…
Ten minutes later, in one of the few cafes that were still open on the street.
Li Dong said in a deep voice, "Tell me, who has a problem?"
Wang Jie hesitated and said after a while, "Let me make it clear first. I am just guessing. I don't have any solid evidence. Don't be angry … "
"F * ck off. Don't beat around the bush. Get to the point!"
Li Dong scolded and said, "Whether I am angry or not, don't beat around the bush. There is nothing I, Li Dong, cannot bear! Even if Yuan Chengdao is defeated, I can bear it! "
Wang Jie sighed. "It is more terrible than CEO Yuan being defeated."
"What do you mean?"
"Minister Zhou, there may be some problems …" Wang Jie said in a low voice.
"Bullsh * t!"
Li Dong scolded, which attracted the attention of the waitress.
Wang Jie quickly said, "Lower your voice. Do you think people don't know you?"
Li Dong took a deep breath and said slowly, "Continue. You said there is a problem with Old Zhou? What are you basing your judgment on? Also, Old Zhou has been with me for a long time. He knows my character. I have never mistreated him. He is now a director of the group and the head of the surveillance department. If something happens to him, then I, Li Dong, will be a failure! I don't believe it. You are my classmate and my brother. Otherwise, I would suspect that you want to be promoted. You brat, if you don't make it clear today, I will leave you in Beijing for ten years and not let you take care of your family … "
Wang Jie did not know whether to laugh or cry. He said helplessly, "Alright, don't change the topic. Since I came to you, I must have a reason. Otherwise, I wouldn't want to talk about this. Listen to me first. You can judge for yourself after I am done. "
"Go ahead."
"I have been in the surveillance department for a few years. To be honest, Department Head Zhou is a good person and has taken good care of me.
Back then, when you asked me to take over the department head's position, Department Head Zhou passed all the authority to me without any hesitation.
I can tell that he is sincere. He even wants to continue driving for you.
In the past few years, Department Head Zhou has been conscientious, afraid that he will let you down. Furthermore, he knows that he is not cultured, so he has been self-studying. I often see him reading books in his office.
In his house, there were many books in his study room. I could tell that he wasn't pretending. He was really serious about reading.
I have to say that I admire Department Head Zhou.
But … "
Li Dong's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice, "Continue!"
Wang Jie said, "Everything has been good in the past, and I have not thought about anything else. But in the past six months, there has been something wrong with the surveillance department. I wonder if you have noticed? Ever since Gan Province's General Manager had an issue, no one in the entire group has had an issue. "
"Isn't that normal? Everyone knows how I, Li Dong, am. Who would dare to do it again? "
"Dongzi, this is a company with more than 200,000 employees!
It is no different from a small city.
Can you guarantee that there are no problems with any of the higher-ups in a city?
In the past, you have tried to make an example out of others, but there will always be people who will take the risk.
Even if there are no major problems, there will always be minor problems.
However, in the past half a year or so, not to mention the big problems, even the small problems had suddenly decreased. It wasn't strange for there to be fewer problems below LV 6, but for those above LV 6, it was as if they had suddenly thought it through and were scared stiff.
For half a year, apart from a few internal criticisms, no one had any major problems.
Of course, this is a good thing. In fact, I did not think much about it in the beginning. They were all shocked by you, and it is normal. I have the same thoughts as you.
But not long ago, when the surveillance department went to investigate, I heard that there was a problem.
Even the team that conducted the secret investigation had given a general description of the situation.
However, not long after the secret investigation team returned, the target of the secret investigation had left the matter unsettled.
According to the information provided by the person in charge, there were no problems.
At first, I did not pay much attention to it. After all, I am not in charge of this matter.
But when you were in Beijing, I happened to have a case that is related to the previous case. I wanted to look at the information.
Our internal department has some information that is highly confidential. The cases that we have investigated and the cases that we have a foundation for are all in there.
But when I went to look for the information, I suddenly realized that the information about the previous case was gone!
The confidentiality of the information room is very high. It is impossible for it to be stolen or lost.
But all the information about this case had vanished into thin air!
Of course, not all of it disappeared. Some of the key information was gone. If it were someone else, they might not care about it.
Moreover, we will not conduct a second investigation on the previous case. If we really want to investigate it, there will be too many things to handle.
Coincidentally, the case in my hands is related to this case. It doesn't matter whether I look at the previous case or not.
It doesn't matter if I don't have this information.
But I just remembered it, so I wanted to take a look … "
Wang Jie explained for a while. Li Dong said calmly, "Even if it is lost, it is not enough for you to suspect Old Zhou, right? Although the probability of such a thing happening was low, I felt that it was understandable if something really couldn't be found in the reference room. And the confidentiality is high, but it does not mean that only you and Old Zhou can come into contact. There should be a lot of people who can come into contact with it. Why do you suspect that something is wrong with Old Zhou? "
Wang Jie licked his lips and said, "Yes, I did not think about Minister Zhou at first. I thought that it would be fine if I couldn't find it.
But it was a coincidence. I started to look for another case to see if there was any connection. Guess what?
It was not that it was gone, but the information was tampered with.
Again, if it was someone else, they might not care, but I am not an ordinary person. My memory is not bad, and I have been in contact with that case before. I have some impression of it.
Some key words were missing, such as the details of the informant, or some details of the accounts.
These problems are actually not big. Otherwise, they would have been dealt with long ago.
It is reasonable to say that it does not matter if the information is changed or not.
Unless there is a second violation, we will continue to look for more information and investigate the responsibility.
Unfortunately, the information had been tampered with!
I became suspicious, so I took the initiative to look into the previous cases. In the end, I found that the one who was criticized was not a small matter. Some things were covered up.
It is not that we did not investigate it, but it was a big matter, and some things were diluted.
And there are not many people in the Ministry of Supervision who can do this.
Minister Zhou is one, and I am another. There are also three or four senior managers and the person in charge of the case.
I carefully looked into it and found that the person who handled the case was a manager trained by Minister Zhou.
At first, I thought it was his idea, but as I followed him and investigated further, I found that some of the cases he handled were given to him by Minister Zhou.
And the results were almost the same. Some things were deliberately diluted … "
Wang Jie continued, but Li Dong furrowed his brows. "It is like a spy war. In the end, there is no solid evidence to prove what Old Zhou did, right?"
Wang Jie nodded. "No, as I said, it is just my guess.
Actually, I am also puzzled. Minister Zhou does not have any reason to do this.
Is he short of money?
Who doesn't know the high salary of the board members? How can the people below him give him such a high salary?
Moreover, Minister Zhou was in the army. He used to drive for you and was your bodyguard. Everyone knows that he is your confidant.
As long as you don't kick him out, after eight or ten years, Minister Zhou will be considered a rich man.
Is it worth it to lose your trust and your position for a little money?
I have thought about it many times, but I don't think it is worth it.
But it had happened, and Minister Zhou was very, very suspicious. At least three members of the management who were level 6 and above had been deliberately ignored and let off.
We are very careful when dealing with this kind of management. Every time we discuss it, it is a big matter. Ordinary people can't ignore it.
Even for me, it is very difficult to cover up someone.
Only Minister Zhou can do all this quietly. Because the Ministry of Supervision has a lot of authority, and Minister Zhou is the highest person in charge. Only he has the authority and ability to do all this. "
After Wang Jie finished, he sighed and said, "All this is my own judgment. Maybe there is a misunderstanding. But even if it is a misunderstanding, I still said it. You can judge for yourself. I feel uncomfortable holding this matter in my heart. If you can figure out the whole story, I will be more relaxed. "
Li Dong did not speak. He slowly stirred the spoon. After a while, he said, "I know about this. You don't have to worry about it anymore. Let's go back to eat. My mom is waiting. "
Wang Jie did not ask anymore. He did not want to care about how Li Dong would deal with it.
Even if Li Dong really let go and did not care about this matter, Wang Jie felt that it was understandable.
Old Zhou was brought up by him. Just like Tan Yong, they were both people who worked hard for Li Dong.
Before Tan Yong came out, Zhou Haidong was also loyal to Li Dong.
If not, why would Li Dong promote him to be the Minister of Supervision?
It was because of trust, trust from the bottom of his heart, that made Li Dong choose to do this.
And Zhou Haidong did not let Li Dong down. Since the establishment of the Ministry of Supervision, some of the internal friction in Faraway Group suddenly decreased. At least hundreds of millions of expenses were saved every year.
As a large group, the annual expenses were also astronomical.
With a little thought, it was not impossible to hide the changes of hundreds of thousands of millions of dollars.
On the side of the Ministry of Supervision, it was like a big net, putting everyone's every move under the net.
In addition, Zhou Haidong's way of doing things was exactly the same as Li Dong's. They were both swift and decisive. In the few years that he had been in office, corruption and malfeasance had rarely occurred within the group.
In the past few years, the biggest was probably the last time the General Manager of Gan Province was investigated, which was also discovered by Zhou Haidong. Otherwise, Li Dong would not know about it.
Now, Wang Jie told Li Dong that there might be a problem with Old Zhou.
Li Dong's first reaction was to not believe it.
However, not believing it did not mean that there were no waves in his heart. No one could be indifferent.
The more you trust someone, if they betrayed you, it would be sad and desperate.
…
During lunch, there were more people in the Li family.
Li Qing also rushed over with Yao Bo. Together with Wang Jie's family of three, a table could not accommodate so many people.
After eating, Li Dong leaned on the sofa and closed his eyes. He did not talk to others.
Cao Fang glanced at him and whispered to Wang Jie, "Ah Jie, is Dongzi alright?"
Wang Jie shook his head. "He's fine. It's just a small matter. It will be taken care of soon."
"That's good."
Cao Fang said with some grumbling, "It must be you who told him. It's the new year. Why did you mention work?"
Wang Jie said pitifully, "Auntie, I didn't want to, but Dongzi insisted on transferring me to Beijing. I have to leave the day after tomorrow. I don't have time to talk to him. Don't you think Dongzi is heartless? I'm only in the third year of middle school, and he's already chasing me away … "
When Cao Fang heard this, she immediately laughed. She thought for a moment and said, "Then why don't you talk to Dongzi? The child is still so young …"
"I'm just joking, Auntie. Don't ruin my future. When I go to Beijing and come back, I will have qualifications and become a real senior manager. This is a good thing. "
"That's good. Dongzi doesn't have many friends. You have to help him …"
As Cao Fang was talking, Li Dong, who closed his eyes to take a nap, suddenly got up and said, "Mom, I'm going out for a while. If I don't come back for dinner, you don't have to wait for me."
"It's the first day of the New Year. Are you busy again?" Cao Fang was slightly dissatisfied.
Li Dong smiled and said, "No, I'm meeting a friend. I'll go first and try to come back for dinner."
"Then come back early."
"Got it."
Li Dong put on his coat and saw that Wang Jie was about to get up. He pressed his hand and said, "You take my son here to talk to my parents. We'll have dinner here tonight."
"Then you …"
Wang Jie wanted to ask, but he stopped talking and nodded without saying anything.
