Chapter 2039

In the first ten days of January, the Chongjin County Audit Bureau organized an audit group. This audit group was composed of 12 people and divided into four groups, three people in each group, and simultaneously stationed in the four units of the County Grain Bureau, Finance Bureau, Forestry Bureau, and Water Conservancy Bureau to audit their financial revenue and expenditure for the past year.

The audit group composed of these 12 people was led by Cheng Minxing, the section chief of the Administrative and Institutional Audit Section of the Audit Bureau, and the team members were also personally recruited by Cheng Minxing. Most of them were internal employees of the Audit Bureau and were colleagues with Cheng Minxing. In addition, he also transferred several people from other units, all of whom were financial personnel he knew, who were very proficient in business and could be trusted in character.

This audit action of the Audit Bureau did not attract the attention of these units, because the Audit Bureau would have routine audit actions every year, and this time it did not look like anything special, so everyone did not take it seriously.

Cheng Minxing personally took two team members to the County Grain Bureau. Director Chen of the County Grain Bureau personally received the audit group. When he saw Cheng Minxing, he said with a smile, "Section Chief Cheng, a rare guest, a rare guest. Come to my office and sit down to drink tea."

Cheng Minxing smiled, "Director Chen, we won't drink tea. You just arrange an empty office for us to carry out our work."

Director Chen knew Cheng Minxing's character. Since he refused to drink tea, he arranged an empty office, let the people of the audit group carry out the audit inside, and arranged for the accountant and cashier of the bureau to cooperate with Cheng Minxing's work.

Cheng Minxing asked the accountant and cashier of the Grain Bureau to move all the account books, statements, and vouchers for the past year to this empty office, and asked them to bring a thermos and three teacups, and then directly asked them to go out. They closed the door and began the audit work.

Cheng Minxing is an old auditor. He knew which accounts had problems at a glance when he took those account books and statements. He first looked at the account books and statements, recorded the places that might have problems in his notebook, and after recording everything, began to flip through the vouchers.

Chongjin County is a major agricultural county, and the main crops are grain crops such as rice and wheat. Therefore, the Grain Bureau has a lot of business every year, so their vouchers are also very numerous. There are at least four or five thick vouchers every month, and there are as many as 50 or 60 vouchers in a year. If they want to flip through all these vouchers, it is not a small project.

Therefore, they must first flip through the account books and statements, record the places with problems, and then flip through the vouchers in a targeted manner, so that they can speed up the progress.

The three of them also had a division of labor. One person flipped through the income accounts, one person flipped through the expense accounts, and one person flipped through the current accounts, which could also speed up the work progress.

Cheng Minxing, as the most experienced auditor and also the team leader, was assigned the task of expense accounts. Expense accounts are the easiest place for a unit to have problems, so it is also the most important task. Cheng Minxing naturally had to take on this task.

From the beginning of flipping through the account books, Cheng Minxing's brows were tightly furrowed. The Grain Bureau's accounts last year had quite big problems. However, he did not say anything, but continued to flip through, occasionally writing something in his notebook. The things he wrote, even if others saw them, they would not understand. Only he himself could understand these things.

The other two team members were a young man in Cheng Minxing's section and an accountant from the former glass factory. The glass factory was not doing well, and he was laid off from the glass factory. Now he was borrowed to the Audit Bureau. He was an old accountant in his fifties and was still very proficient in financial business.

They were also flipping through the account books and statements attentively, also recording doubts in their own ways.

In the whole office, except for the sound of drinking water that rang from time to time, there was only the "rustling" sound of pens walking on paper.

I don't know how long it took, the door of this office was knocked. Cheng Minxing got up to open the door. Standing outside the door was Director Chen. Director Chen said with a smile, "Section Chief Cheng, it's noon, it's time to eat. Let's go eat together. I have already booked a private room in the County Party Committee Guesthouse. Let's have a few drinks."

Cheng Minxing said, "Director Chen, I remember that in the county government's new financial reimbursement system, official business in the same city is not allowed to have official receptions, and drinking is not allowed at noon. Is this system just a display?"

The smile on Director Chen's face stagnated. He did not expect Cheng Minxing to be so disrespectful and so official. Anger rose in his heart. He was a section-level cadre anyway, and Cheng Minxing was only a section-level cadre. How dare he speak to him like this?

However, Director Chen forcibly suppressed the anger in his chest. Although Cheng Minxing's rank was not high, he was the leader of the audit group. Coming to the Grain Bureau to audit was equivalent to an imperial envoy. His rank was not high but his power was great. He still could not offend Cheng Minxing. You must know that the problems in their Grain Bureau were quite big.

Director Chen laughed and said, "Can't I not reimburse it in the bureau? Then it won't be considered a violation of the financial system, right?"

Cheng Minxing said, "Not reimburse it in the bureau? Does Director Chen have a small treasury?"

Director Chen said, "What small treasury? Can't I treat guests privately? I just want to make a friend like Section Chief Cheng."

Cheng Minxing smiled, "Thank you for Director Chen's kindness, but I can only accept it in my heart. Our task this time is very tight, and I must work overtime here at noon, so I cannot go to eat with Director Chen. I'm sorry."

Director Chen said, "You can't not eat if you work overtime. Come back to work overtime after eating."

Cheng Minxing took out a few steamed buns from his bag and said, "We have something to eat at noon, so thank you, Director Chen. Please trouble Director Chen to send us another bottle of boiling water."

Director Chen said, "How can this be? You just eat a few steamed buns? Let's do this, I will ask the County Party Committee Guesthouse to stir-fry a few dishes and send a pot of rice over for you. You can eat here. It's better than eating steamed buns. You work so hard, you should eat better."

Cheng Minxing shook his head and said, "Thank you for Director Chen's kindness, but we really don't need it. Eating steamed buns is fine. Please trouble Director Chen to send a bottle of boiling water over."
