Chapter 2276: Taking Over the Finance Department

"You can rest assured about this!" The smile on Zhou Qianyi's face did not decrease. "We have hired audit experts from the Overseas Trust Bank in Xiangjiang. Each of them is the top in the industry."

"They have participated in numerous audit projects for large multinational groups and have accumulated extremely rich work experience. It can be said that they have experienced many battles. In their eyes, the audit work of our Woolen Mill belongs to a small project."

Guan Mingli couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and his throat made a slight 'glug' sound. His face was a bit stiff, and he barely squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying.

"So it was an audit institution hired in Xiangjiang. In that case, I can really rest assured."

Zhou Qianyi nodded with satisfaction, then turned to face everyone in the cashier's room, raised her volume and said. "Since Chief Guan is already at ease, then next, it's time for my people to officially take over the Finance Department."

"Colleagues, please temporarily put down the work you are dealing with. Please organize all the financial data of the last quarter properly, and then everyone will move to the company's large meeting room to work together."

"During this period, the entire Finance Department needs to be fully responsible by the audit working group. However, please rest assured that this temporary arrangement to move to the large meeting room to work is temporary. Once the audit work is successfully completed, we will move back to the office!"

As soon as Zhou Qianyi's voice fell, the scene suddenly became noisy. Some people acted quickly, neatly packing up the documents and materials on the table.

At the same time, a considerable number of people stood still and didn't move. Their eyes cast at Guan Mingli in unison. Among them, seven or eight people, both men and women, had faces as pale as paper, as if they had lost all their blood color.

Guan Mingli first turned his gaze to Huang Yimin, then looked at Wang Jianmin, hoping in his heart to get some support or instructions from the two of them.

But what made him feel very disappointed was that whether it was Huang Yimin or Wang Jianmin, they turned a blind eye to his plea for help, and even didn't give him an eye contact. This scene made Guan Mingli's originally uneasy heart fall into the bottomless abyss instantly.

If these two were not present, he could treat Zhou Qianyi's words as farting. Afterward, find a suitable opportunity to destroy those crucial account books without anyone knowing. In this way, he could erase the evidence that might be unfavorable to him and continue to sit firmly in the position of chief.

However, now Huang Yimin and Wang Jianmin are standing here. If he dares to confront Zhou Qianyi, I am afraid he doesn't have to wait until tomorrow, and he, the chief of the Finance Department, will be removed immediately.

Guan Mingli took a deep breath, tried his best to restrain the panic surging in his heart, and tried his best to make his tone stable and calm.

"What are you still doing? Didn't you hear what Chairman Zhou just said? Move quickly, organize the financial statements for this quarter, and move them all to the large meeting room without missing a single one!"

As soon as his voice fell, he suddenly raised his head very suddenly. He suddenly thought that Shi Guoqiang would definitely attend this signing ceremony. However, he looked around, but he couldn't see anyone.

Where are the people? This guy was so anxious that his blood pressure rose. According to reason, it shouldn't be that he couldn't see anyone? Where on earth did the person go?

Guan Mingli wished he could turn around and leave immediately. However, the reality made him unable to move at all.

Huang Yimin and Wang Jianmin are beside him. Even if he had the courage of heaven, he wouldn't dare to slip away at this time.

At this time, the mysteriously disappeared Director Shi Guoqiang is squatting in the toilet. He has been holding this shit for a while. After signing the contract, he wanted to come to the toilet.

It's just that Zhou Qianyi suddenly said to go to the Finance Department to see. Shi Guoqiang was afraid that this woman would make some moths, so he had to clamp his legs and follow the crowd closely.

After arriving at the Finance Department, Zhou Qianyi really looked around in the cashier's room, and visited seriously, without showing any abnormality, which made Shi Guoqiang, who had been worried, breathe a sigh of relief.

Finally, he really couldn't bear it anymore, turned around and ran towards the toilet. That's right, from the moment he went in until now, he has been squatting in the toilet.

Finally, after experiencing a long and painful torment, Shi Guoqiang finally walked out of the toilet with relief. The moment he stepped out of the toilet door, the scene in front of him made him stunned. He saw many people holding some documents, constantly shuttling between the cashier's room and the meeting room.

"What are you doing?"

Shi Guoqiang walked up quickly with a face full of surprise, and reached out to stop the young woman holding a thick stack of account books.

This young woman is named Zhen Xiaoxia, a cashier in the Finance Department, in her thirties, not tall, a bit petite, with a small round face, looking quite beautiful.

Zhen Xiaoxia was stopped by Shi Guoqiang, couldn't help but be stunned, and her footsteps also paused. Then she heard Shi Guoqiang's question, a flash of hesitation flashed on her face, and then she said.

"It was an order from Chairman Zhou, saying that a comprehensive audit of the financial situation of the Finance Department is to be carried out."

Shi Guoqiang's heart shook violently when he heard this, his brows frowned, and he asked urgently, "Since it is Chairman Zhou who requires an audit, why do you still move these account books to the meeting room?"

Zhen Xiaoxia felt so greasy in her heart, it was really bad luck, so many people happened to stop me. Starting tomorrow, the secretary and factory director will be changed, I want to stand in line again, can you not stop me?

In case people misunderstand, thinking that I have an unclear relationship with you, and go to the newly appointed secretary and factory director to report me, even if I walk over on stilts to stand in line, I am afraid they won't want me.

But, today Shi Guoqiang is still the secretary. Although Zhen Xiaoxia is dissatisfied in her heart, she can only respond: "Chairman Zhou said that starting from the last quarter, the financial accounts of the past twenty years must be audited."

"Our Finance Department office is also required to be vacated and handed over to the audit team that is about to enter. The Finance Department will temporarily move to the large meeting room to work. Therefore, the financial-related data and documents for this quarter, etc., must all be taken to the large meeting room."

"The accounts of the past twenty years must be audited?"

Shi Guoqiang's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief. Is Zhou Andong crazy or did that woman act on her own?

Immediately after, a joy appeared on this guy's face. Tracing back twenty years of auditing, Zhou Andong doesn't want to be good, right?

Twenty years, how many leaders have been promoted in the Woolen Mill? Even now, there are quite a few sitting in important positions.

If you add those who have retired, how many people will Zhou Andong offend this time?

Shi Guoqiang is not worried about finding problems, because he has the same idea as Guan Mingli. Even if it is an audit, it is the business of the Municipal Audit Bureau or the National Audit Office, which is simply not worth worrying about.

Especially since Zhou Andong wants to look back twenty years, not to mention how many people this will involve, just say this audit work, whether it can be carried out is two things.

Twenty years, how many people will this involve? It is estimated that those who have retired will have people who can't help but jump out and scold their mothers.

By then, they don't need to do anything at all, those old guys will be anxious and try to stop the audit and get Zhou Andong out of the Woolen Mill.

Shi Guoqiang couldn't help laughing. Since Zhou Andong is looking for death, he will add another fire and publicize Zhou Andong's investigation of the Woolen Mill's twenty-year finances, so that those old guys will all come out and jump around.

Thinking of this, this guy's mood instantly became beautiful, the smile on his face was like a chrysanthemum blooming in spring, his light footsteps seemed to step on the clouds, and he floated into the cashier's room.

At this time, Zhou Qianyi had already arranged everything. As soon as she turned around, her eyes happened to meet Shi Guoqiang who had just walked into the door, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly, revealing a 'kind' smile.

"Secretary Shi, you came just in time. I am preparing to conduct a comprehensive financial audit of our Woolen Mill Finance Department as a director. I don't know if you have any special thoughts or suggestions on this?"

"No, no!" Shi Guoqiang waved his hands repeatedly with a smile. "How could I have any opinions? Absolutely not, no. Miss Zhou is now a director of the Woolen Mill and has the power and responsibility to audit the Woolen Mill's finances."

"Besides, tomorrow I will be stepping down from this position as Party Secretary, so today I am just fulfilling my final duty. Therefore, I certainly won't be meddling or interfering with any decisions you make!"

After speaking, this guy also deliberately made a relaxed and relieved look.

"Good!"

Zhou Qianyi nodded without hesitation, then walked out of the cashier's room and stepped into the accounting room next door.

Because everyone in the accounting room ran to the corridor to watch the fun, there was no one inside.

After Zhou Qianyi entered, the accountants of the Finance Department reacted, hurriedly ran back, and sat at their workstations.

Zhou Qianyi smiled, her eyes slowly swept over everyone present, and then said softly. "Colleagues, I think everyone has heard what I just said in the cashier's room."

"Since that's the case, I won't repeat it. Now, please act immediately, organize all the financial statements for this quarter, and move them all to the large meeting room."

"Chairman Zhou!" Just then, a shout came from the door, it was Zhen Xiaoxia. After she shouted, she secretly looked at Shi Guoqiang, then raised her head and walked in. "If our entire Finance Department moves to the large meeting room, the number of workstations will be far from enough."

Zhou Qianyi asked with a smile. "What is your name?"

"Zhen Xiaoxia!" Zhen Xiaoxia didn't hesitate at all. "I am a cashier!"

Zhou Qianyi nodded. "The meeting room is so big, besides the meeting table, there is plenty of space to place tables. Now everyone work hard, move the tables and chairs from the office to the meeting room, there is no need for so many here."

"Tonight, I will invite all colleagues in the Finance Department to have dinner at the Jinwan Hotel. For drinking, we will drink Jiangzhou Yugong, if you want to eat meat, order meat, if you want to eat seafood, order seafood. You can order whatever you want to eat, and all consumption will be paid by me personally."

Hearing Zhou Qianyi's words, some people in the crowd applauded excitedly. However, when their eyes swept over Shi Guoqiang and Guan Mingli inadvertently, they found that their faces were not right, and they put their hands down awkwardly. The originally lively scene was like being cast with magic, falling into dead silence.

Everyone looked at each other, those who applauded stood in place very unnaturally, while some who didn't applaud kept aiming at Shi Guoqiang and Guan Mingli, seeming to want to guess something from their expressions.

Huang Yimin and Wang Jianmin, who were standing on the side, frowned in unison. They could naturally see that this was Zhou Qianyi buying people's hearts. However, looking at the reaction of the Finance Department employees, those who welcomed Zhou Qianyi were still a minority.

Those who didn't react and kept watching Shi Guoqiang and Guan Mingli cannot be generalized as all having problems. You know, such a large-scale state-owned enterprise is actually a small society.

The relationship and operation mode between various departments in the factory are exactly the same as those of various agencies in the government, and they are full of various open and secret struggles and contests.

Tomorrow, Shi Guoqiang will officially step down as the Party Secretary of the Woolen Mill. For those without a direct conflict of interest, his thoughts and opinions are no longer that important. However, Guan Mingli will continue to serve as the Director of the Finance Department, and since this guy has long held a reputation for being formidable, it is inevitable that some people harbor concerns.

Perhaps some people will think that since Gu Bing will serve as the factory party secretary, as long as Guan Mingli dares to disobey, he can easily be removed from his post. People who hold this idea are too naive.

A chief who has a solid foundation, a stable position, and is solid, without catching evidence of his violations of law and discipline, the secretary can remove him from his post in one sentence. This is not reality, it is a legend.

The secretary does have the power of personnel appointment and removal, but this does not mean that he can act recklessly and remove anyone he wants, not to mention a chief with real power.

The real situation is that if a department-level cadre has committed job-related crimes, the secretary and factory director have the right to decisively remove his administrative position. If it involves the removal of party affairs positions, it must be submitted to the party committee for deliberation and decision-making.

If the department-level cadre has not committed any mistakes, but the secretary intends to remove his position, then he must report the application to the higher-level management department. Usually, considering the authority of the secretary and the unity and stability of the entire leadership team, the higher-level management department will often approve it.

In fact, this situation is exactly the same as the municipal party secretary not being able to remove a county party secretary or county magistrate at will. In the final analysis, the true authority of the secretary does not lie in whose position he removes, but in whose position he promotes.

No matter who wants to climb the ladder, it really comes down to a single word from the Secretary. If he says you can, you can soar to great heights and rise rapidly; if he says you can't, then you can only stay exactly where you are. This sounds absurd, but that is the reality.
