While waiting for Zhang Zhiyuan in Xiao Yang's office, Lu Yiwei was seriously looking through the audit documents. Occasionally, he would tap on his calculator to check every single item. But he still couldn't find the ¥500,000 that Gao Bowen mentioned.
At this moment, there was a commotion in Zhang Zhiyuan's office, so Xiao Yang stood up and entered. A brief moment later, Xiao Yang came out and reported, "Mr. Lu, Secretary Zhang wants you to come in."
When Lu Yiwei entered, he saw Zhang Zhiyuan's haggard face, as if he was sick. Lu Yiwei's heart ached for the latter, "Secretary Zhang, are you feeling unwell? Do you need to go to the hospital?"
Waving his hand, Zhang Zhiyuan faintly replied, "I'm fine. Did you bring it?"
Handing over a copy, Lu Yiwei replied, "Secretary Zhang, I've checked it several times, but I couldn't find the money that the County Kao mentioned. Is there any misunderstanding?"
Receiving the audit documents, Zhang Zhiyuan looked through them. Roughly half an hour later, he had also checked it several times, but there was no problem. Throwing the audit documents on the floor, he slammed the table and roared, "Get Gao Bowen over here!"
In the past, Zhang Zhiyuan rarely lost his temper. But ever since he became the Secretary of the County Party Committee, he was easily angered. Facing all sorts of pressure and problems, even the best temper could cause him to lose control.
Lu Yiwei did not speak. He knew that Zhang Zhiyuan wasn't feeling good in his heart. Quietly picking up the documents on the floor, he immediately noticed a problem. Picking up the problematic form, he looked at the back of it under the light. After comparing it, he immediately said, "Secretary Zhang, take a look at this. I seem to have found a problem."
Zhang Zhiyuan hesitantly stood up, took the paper, and read it. Lu Yiwei, who was at the side, pointed at a number and explained, "Secretary Zhang, look, someone has obviously tampered with this number. The '1' in '2160000' has been changed to a '6'. The thickness is different, and there's an extra 500,000 now. Take a look at the unit price and quantity in front, the sum is indeed not equal to the total price behind. "
Zhang Zhiyuan did not say anything. Instead, he frowned and examined it carefully. As Lu Yiwei had said, someone had tampered with the 'ventilation equipment' project.
Zhang Zhiyuan slowly placed the form on the table. His brain worked quickly, and a few questions gradually floated in his mind. He lit up a cigarette and checked again. "Yiwei, auditing is the same as financial work. Both of them use the increase and decrease accounting method. How can there be such a low-level mistake? Do you think this is changed by the staff during the operation, or someone changed it later? "
Lu Yiwei calculated the total amount several times and said, "Secretary Zhang, I have added it several times just now. The total amount is exactly the same as above, and there's no change in the total amount. I speculate that someone has tampered with the calculation."
"Is it possible that only the last sheet was changed?" Zhang Zhiyuan asked.
"It's unlikely." Lu Yiwei said, "Look at the subtotal on the front page. The numbers are also the same."
"Which audit firm did we hire?"
"Xijiang Province's Zhongke New Audit Firm. It's quite famous in the province."
Zhang Zhiyuan's face turned black. "Ask their director to come over tomorrow. I will ask him personally."
"Okay."
Before Lu Yiwei left, Zhang Zhiyuan suddenly asked, "Who do you think took the money?"
From Zhang Zhiyuan's eyes, Lu Yiwei seemed to feel that he was also suspicious of Bai Yuxin. He shook his head and said, "I don't dare to speculate on this matter. I can only speak with the facts."
One could imagine the feeling of being caught by others. Zhang Zhiyuan immediately understood that this was not Gao Bowen's doing. The real mastermind was Yang Derong. What he did not understand was how Yang Derong found out there was a loophole. Could it be a trap deliberately set by someone? Lu Yiwei's other unintentional topic seemed to have given him a breakthrough.
Lu Yiwei said, "When I went to the Audit Bureau today, the Director, Fang Zhongkai, was on a business trip yesterday. His phone was switched off. After asking around, the audit materials were borrowed by County Kao. When I arrived at the Finance Bureau, the materials were gone. It seems that the other party has been planning this for a long time. County Kao used my mouth to pass the message to you. He must have put a lot of effort into it. "
Zhang Zhiyuan said, "Do you think it's possible that it's Fang Zhongkai?"
Lu Yiwei also had some doubts. He said with uncertainty, "I can't rule out this possibility."
"Then what's their purpose?"
"…" Lu Yiwei didn't continue the conversation. Wasn't this a louse on top of a baldy's head? Yang Derong wanted to use this to suppress Zhang Zhiyuan. Even if he could not defeat Zhang Zhiyuan, it was also a victory to beat him in the side. There was another possibility. Yang Derong did not intend to investigate this matter further. Instead, he used this as a condition to make a request to Zhang Zhiyuan. It was not impossible.
Since he could not get what he wanted from Lu Yiwei, Zhang Zhiyuan had to give up. He waved his hand and said tiredly, "You go first. Let me think about it."
Lu Yiwei saw Zhang Zhiyuan's appearance and was still worried. He said, "Secretary Zhang, do you want to go to the hospital …"
"No need. I'm fine." Zhang Zhiyuan said weakly.
Lu Yiwei could not do anything. He came out of the office and reminded Xiao Yang again, "Remind Secretary Zhang to eat later. Make sure to send him back to the dormitory."
After Lu Yiwei left, Zhang Zhiyuan leaned on the chair and closed his eyes to think. Like Lu Yiwei, the first person he suspected was Bai Yuxin. He knew this person's situation very well. If he had not been so cruel, Tan Lao would not have thrown him to the Association for Science and Technology in the suburbs for five or six years. When he came to Nanyang to take up his post, Zhang Zhiyuan reminded him that he could not go back to his old ways, and he promised him firmly. But if he trusted him so much, why did he do these things behind his back?
Zhang Zhiyuan suddenly sat up, picked up the phone on the desk, and was about to call Bai Yuxin. He just dialed a few numbers, then quickly hung up. He clenched his teeth and clenched his fists.
500,000 yuan was not a large number for a county, but it was an astronomical figure for ordinary people. They might not be able to earn that much in their lifetime. But now that it was in someone else's hands, even if it was only 50 yuan, it would be a fatal blow. Once some things were put on the line, the nature would change. Even if they used their connections to settle it in the end, it would be a great loss. Now that this was in the hands of Yang Derong, what should he do?
"Bastard!" Zhang Zhiyuan clenched his teeth and cursed.
At this moment, Xiao Yang knocked on the door and entered. Zhang Zhiyuan unhappily asked, "What's the matter?"
Xiao Yang knew that Zhang Zhiyuan was in a bad mood, so he whispered, "Secretary Zhang, County Yang's secretary, Zheng Xudong, called and said that County Yang wants to meet you."
"Tell him that I'm not here! I don't want to meet him! "Zhang Zhiyuan's tone was stiff, which made Xiao Yang tremble.
"Come back!" When Xiao Yang left, Zhang Zhiyuan suddenly changed his mind. "Get County Yang to come over now. I have something to talk to him about." He had a premonition that Yang Derong had come over to exchange terms with him.
After a while, Yang Derong walked in with a big smile on his face. Seeing Zhang Zhiyuan's ugly expression, his smile immediately turned into a look of concern. "Ah! Secretary Zhang, what's wrong with you? "
Zhang Zhiyuan tried his best to raise his spirits. "Don't mention it. I was having lunch with those guys from Guchuan County, Maping County, and Zhongzhou County. I almost drank myself to death. I've been feeling unwell for the whole afternoon. I just woke up." As he spoke, he covered the audit materials on the table with a newspaper and threw a cigarette to Yang Derong.
Yang Derong saw Zhang Zhiyuan's action and smiled. "And Maping County's Qiu Zhicang? He's a famous wine expert. Call me the next time you have lunch. I'll drink for you. He won't die from drinking! Haha … "The Qiu Zhicang that Yang Derong mentioned was the County party committee secretary of Maping County. He was also the cousin of Qiu Yuanhang, a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and the Deputy Governor.
"Haha …" Zhang Zhiyuan laughed. "Okay, I'll definitely call you next time. I really can't hold my liquor."
It seemed like a simple digression, but in fact, they were trying to break through each other's psychological defenses. It was like playing chess. Every time a chess piece was placed, they had to guess the opponent's next move or even five or ten moves later. Fortunately, both of them were experts in officialdom. They hid very well and did not leave too many flaws for each other.
Without waiting for Yang Derong to speak, Zhang Zhiyuan spoke first. "County Yang, you also attended the meeting in the morning. Mayor Lin is very dissatisfied with our county's Chuangwei work. I'm also responsible for this. I didn't pay enough attention to it. Next year, you have to take charge of this work and strive to become a provincial hygienic county. Don't embarrass the city. "
Yang Derong said, "Secretary Zhang, this can't be entirely blamed on you. Nanyang County itself is dirty and messy. Even if you manage it like this, it's still the same. In my opinion, with the current situation of Nanyang, it's not suitable for a hygienic county at all. It's neither a city nor a village. I really don't know what the city is thinking."
Yang Derong's words hid a certain danger. On one hand, he was exonerating Zhang Zhiyuan, and on the other hand, he was scolding the city for being unrealistic. If Zhang Zhiyuan followed his words and scolded, or said bad things about a leader, he would definitely pass it to the ears of the city leaders. They would only hate Zhang Zhiyuan even more. On the surface, it was a sincere conversation, but in fact, it was a psychological battle.
Of course, Zhang Zhiyuan would not be fooled by Yang Derong. He said, "This work can't be blamed on the city. The starting point is good. It's also necessary to change the face of Nanyang County. I also promised Mayor Lin that the task will be completed to the letter. Derong, the burden on your shoulders is not light. "
Yang Derong took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Alright then. To put it bluntly, the work of Chuangwei is burning money. With Nanyang's economic situation, it's a huge expenditure."
"No matter how difficult it is, we have to overcome it." Zhang Zhiyuan said resolutely, "This project will be included in next year's budget. It must be completed. I'll think of a solution for the money. "
"Don't." Yang Derong said, "Secretary Zhang, don't work too hard. It's not worth it to torment yourself for public affairs. I'll think of a solution for the money with you. Just in time, the money will come. Someone is planning to invest more than 20 million in Shiwan Village. I'll discuss it with you! "
