Chapter 2275: Mist

Guan Mingli's mind was full of thoughts, as if clouds were drifting in the sky. He thought of the past, thought of the present, and thought of the future.

If he had chosen to stay in the Municipal Audit Bureau at the beginning, for so many years, the regular section level might not have been solved. Even by the time he retired, whether he could cross the threshold of the regular department level would be an unknown.

Even if he really reached the regular department level, so what? In the entire Audit Bureau, even the Director's office didn't have air conditioning, but at this moment, he could sit safely in a spacious and comfortable office in such a hot summer, blowing the air conditioner and drinking tea leisurely.

Now let him return to the Audit Bureau and give him a deputy department level; I am afraid he would have to consider it carefully.

As for Zhou Andong coming to the Woolen Mill to serve as factory director, he didn't take it to heart at all. Because he had full confidence in himself, and this confidence mainly came from two aspects. One was his own ability, and the other was his interpersonal relationship.

If he were still the inconspicuous and low-ranking little deputy section chief in the Audit Bureau, then everything might be out of the question. However, times have changed, and since he stepped into the Woolen Mill and served as the deputy chief of the Finance Department, the situation has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Regardless of identity or status, they are no longer what they used to be. More importantly, he not only has power but also money in his pocket, which is his greatest confidence. Not to mention, he has the Yin family, a behemoth, behind him.

Because of this, his relationship network gradually opened up unconsciously. Whether it was his old employer, the Audit Bureau, or the Audit Office above his head, he had his relationships.

Therefore, even if Zhou Andong had ideas about the Finance Department and persuaded the higher-ups to send an audit group to conduct a financial audit of the Woolen Mill, he wouldn't worry, because the 'scalpel' that decided the life and death of the Finance Department was held in his hands.

The audit group came, and no one would listen to Zhou Andong's words. The final say was completely controlled by him alone. He wanted to cut where, and the scalpel would fall where.

Guan Mingli slowly put down the newspaper that had been turned a bit wrinkled, and then, as usual, habitually picked up the teacup, stood up, walked to the window, and his thoughts drifted to the meeting room again.

Although Zhou Andong had not appeared, for those who knew the inside story, everyone actually knew clearly in their hearts that Zhou Qianyi was Zhou Andong's person.

And they all had a puzzling question in their hearts, which was why Zhou Andong was so persistent in wanting to acquire 10% of the Woolen Mill's shares?

Could it be that Zhou Andong really looked favorably on the future of the Woolen Mill?

However, if he really looked favorably on the Woolen Mill, according to common sense, he could have righteously proposed to the higher-ups to acquire more shares.

For example, 30%, or even 40%, the higher-ups might have agreed.

But what is puzzling is that Zhou Andong only wanted 10%. What is his purpose?

This mystery is like a thick mist, tightly shrouded in everyone's hearts, and has never been able to dissipate...

"Perhaps!" Guan Mingli lowered his head slightly and took a sip of tea. "Today we might know the answer."

"Bang bang bang..."

Just then, the door of his office was knocked heavily, which made him frown.

He was the person who paid the most attention to the rules. Such a heavy knock on the door was a lack of respect for him, making him very unhappy in his heart.

"Perhaps!" Guan Mingli lowered his head slightly, took a light sip of the tea in the cup, and then looked through the window at the distance, muttering in his mouth. "Today we might know the answer."

It seemed that there was really heaven's will in the dark, hearing his words, suddenly, a burst of urgent and heavy knocking on the door broke the originally quiet atmosphere.

"Bang bang bang..."

Guan Mingli couldn't help but frown. He was the person who paid the most attention to the rules. Such a heavy knock on the door was simply a great disrespect to him, making him very unhappy in his heart.

But as a leader, one must have demeanor, and must maintain the proper demeanor and cultivation. Even if the heart is full of dissatisfaction, one cannot scold the subordinate on the spot just because the knocking sound is too loud, which is difficult to convince the public.

However, this account is temporarily recorded, and in a few days, find him a pair of small shoes to wear, so that he can remember, understand the rules, and how to knock on the leader's door.

"Come in!"

As Guan Mingli's voice fell, the office door was pushed open from the outside. The person who came in was the cashier Gao Jianchuan, thirty-one or thirty-two years old, with the very popular Aaron Kwok hairstyle. He was wearing a white short-sleeved T-shirt on his upper body, navy blue trousers on his lower body, and a pair of shiny leather shoes on his feet.

The whole person looked very spirited and handsome, but he was too short, just over 1.6 meters. According to the current saying, that is a third-class disabled person. If he were not a Woolen Mill employee, and a cashier sitting in the office, it would be difficult to marry a wife.

Guan Mingli raised his eyes and saw that the person was Gao Jianchuan. His frown not only didn't loosen but tightened even more. This was his confidant, who knew his temper, how could he be so reckless?

Gao Jianchuan looked a bit nervous and said at a very fast speed. "Chief, Audit Office Director Huang and Deputy Mayor Wang Jianmin are here, and they are currently inspecting the cashier's room."

The meeting room next door had been occupied for the past few days, and everyone knew that city leaders were holding meetings, but they didn't know what it was specifically. Even if they were curious, no one dared to ask blindly.

Mainly because the Woolen Mill meeting room is large, well-equipped, and luxuriously decorated, and various municipal agencies and units often borrow it for meetings, so this is not a strange thing for Woolen Mill employees.

It's just that the city leaders have been borrowing the factory meeting room for several days, coming at 8:30 in the morning and leaving at 3:30 in the afternoon every day, only eating at the Woolen Mill canteen at noon, and have never said they would go to the Finance Department to see.

Suddenly, the leader brought a large group of people to the cashier's room without any wind beforehand, which made many people feel panicked, and the clever Gao Jianchuan ran to the chief here to report.

In fact, whether it is an agency unit or an enterprise unit, as long as it is a person sitting in the office, they are afraid of the sudden visit of higher-level leaders. Even those who have no guilt in their hearts will be infected by the atmosphere and feel nervous, not to mention some people who have ghosts in their hearts.

It cannot be said that everyone in the Finance Department has problems. In fact, there are only a few people who can be trusted by the leader and do some special accounting. And this Gao Jianchuan is one of them.

Guan Mingli's frown loosened. It turned out that the leader came to inspect suddenly, and the anger in his heart slowly dissipated. However, it did not dispel the idea of wearing small shoes for Gao Jianchuan in the future.

There is a reason for this, which can be understood, but this cannot become the reason for your mistake. As the saying goes, reward for merit, punish for fault. Clear rewards and punishments have always been the management philosophy he adheres to as a leader.

"Got it!" Guan Mingli responded, gently put the teacup in his hand on the desk, and then walked out of the office quickly like the wind under his feet.

Next door is the cashier's room, the door is wide open. Before entering, he saw Huang Yimin and Wang Jianmin accompanying a woman chatting about something.

Then, this guy's face quickly piled up with extremely flattering smiles, the smile was like it was stuck on with glue, and it couldn't be pulled off no matter what. Then he walked like the wind, stepped over the threshold in one step, and said hurriedly in his mouth.

"Warmly welcome Director Huang and Mayor Wang, two leaders, to come to the Finance Department to inspect and guide the work!"

Huang Yimin heard this, smiled slightly, and waved his hand. "The protagonist this time is not me and Mayor Wang, but Ms. Zhou Qianyi. She represents Jiangzhou Textile Factory, acquired 10% of the Woolen Mill's shares, has already signed the contract, and is now a shareholder of the Woolen Mill."

Just then, Wang Jianmin took over the conversation and continued. "There is another important news to announce to everyone. The former Jiangzhou Winery Factory Director, current Yugong Group Chairman Zhou Andong, is about to serve as the Woolen Mill Factory Director and Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee. The relevant appointment notice will be delivered at noon, and everyone will be able to see it then."

Although the rumors about this matter have been endless, whether it is the city or the factory, there has been no movement. Some people who couldn't hold back their curiosity ran to the leader to inquire about the truth, but the answer they got was 'I don't know'. So, everyone thought it was a rumor.

But now, hearing the mayor say it himself, some people's faces instantly bloomed with uncontrollable excitement, as if they saw an unprecedented opportunity beckoning to them.

And another part of the people looked a bit uncertain. They were slightly startled, and then they raised their heads in unison, and their eyes cast straight at Guan Mingli.

And Guan Mingli, the smile on his face still didn't decrease, just quickly took a step forward, and enthusiastically stretched out his right hand and said. "Chairman Zhou, hello, from now on we are our own family. If you have anything to do, you must come to our Finance Department to guide the work more. In this way, our Finance Department employees will have motivation, go all out, and be full of passion to do the work better."

"Since you said so, let me know the work, then I'll be polite." Zhou Qianyi's mouth raised slightly, outlining a faint smile, and then her bright and sharp eyes scanned the circle. Then, she announced in an unquestionable tone.

"From this moment on, my people will take over the Woolen Mill Finance Department. At the same time, all account books for the twenty years before the last quarter will be sealed up and wait for a third-party professional audit institution to conduct an audit."

Zhou Qianyi's sudden words were like a thunderbolt, ringing in everyone's ears. It was simply deafening, blowing everyone at the scene dizzy.

Even Guan Mingli, who was full of confidence and not afraid of any audit inspection, had his expression change instantly at this moment. The originally calm and composed face changed, but soon returned to normal, and then smiled slightly, turning his head to cast his eyes on Wang Jianmin on the side.

"Mayor, regarding this audit work, do you think it should be drawn from the Municipal Audit Bureau, or directly apply to the National Audit Office for support?"

Wang Jianmin didn't give a response immediately but looked at Zhou Qianyi, his eyes full of surprise and doubt. Before this, he did expect that Zhou Andong would take action against the Finance Department sooner or later.

But he never expected that he would choose to take action just after signing the contract. More importantly, like this kind of routine audit process, it is actually very difficult to find real substantive problems. According to reason, Zhou Andong should know this well.

Therefore, in his mind, even if Zhou Andong took action against the Finance Department, he had to wait for the opportunity. At the very least, he had to win over a few people in the Finance Department.

But now, Zhou Andong is so urgent, completely different from the Zhou Andong he knows, what on earth is that guy going to do?

Looking at Guan Mingli's calm and composed appearance, a cold sneer that was not easily noticeable appeared on Zhou Qianyi's face. You really have a good plan, actually wanting to draw people from the Audit Bureau or the Audit Office, isn't that equivalent to stealing a donkey and letting the person who pulled the stake catch the thief, which is absurd and ridiculous?

"Chief Guan, it seems you misunderstood my meaning. The third-party audit institution I mentioned does not include the Audit Bureau or the Audit Office."

"What do you mean?" Guan Mingli's face changed again, and he said forcefully and calmly. "The Woolen Mill is a state-owned enterprise, and the audit work must be done by the Municipal Audit Bureau or the National Audit Office."

"Chief Guan, did you not hear Director Huang's words just now?" Zhou Qianyi brought a smile to her face, her tone very peaceful. "Jiangzhou Textile Factory has acquired 10% of the Woolen Mill's shares."

"Now, Jiangzhou Textile Factory has become a shareholder of the Woolen Mill. And I, as a director of the Woolen Mill entrusted by the Textile Factory, naturally have the power to audit the Woolen Mill's financial situation, and can completely hire a third-party audit institution to assist in completing this work according to laws and regulations, reasonably and compliantly."

Huang Yimin and Wang Jianmin's faces showed a sudden realization at the same time. They finally understood why Zhou Andong had to acquire 10% of the Woolen Mill's shares.

Because only by becoming a shareholder of the Woolen Mill can the shackles of the Woolen Mill's audit work, which can only be done by the Audit Bureau or the Audit Office, be broken.

Naturally, they also understood why Zhou Andong took action after signing the contract. Because after hiring a third-party audit, the Woolen Mill's Finance Department was completely out of the control of some people, and they would definitely jump over the wall in a hurry.

Huang Yimin and Wang Jianmin looked at each other and sighed in their hearts at the same time. Zhou Andong is Zhou Andong, and he really lives up to his reputation. As soon as he made a move, he hit the other party's Achilles' heel.

It's just that this method can only be done by Zhou Andong, and no one else can achieve it. Because without brains, they can't think of this method.

In addition, just having brains is not enough, you also need money. This is real money, taking out 270 million. Change to another person, who can take out so much money?

Guan Mingli also understood why Zhou Andong had to acquire 10% of the Woolen Mill's shares, not 30% or 40%.

At this moment, Guan Mingli tried hard to make himself look very calm, but a layer of fine sweat broke out on his forehead, and his heart was also panicked.

"Chairman—Chairman Zhou, as a large state-owned enterprise, the audit work is very complex. I think no one can complete the financial audit work of the Woolen Mill except the Audit Bureau or the Audit Office." ===== CHAPTER 2276 =====
