Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 1717 Internal Audit
After eating the eggs, he put the steamed corn bread in the bowl aside and prepared to rest.

Only now did he start to think about what his mother said.

After my divorce, I'm alone and don't have any children, so I don't have someone to do the laundry and cooking.

Now that my business is done, finding a woman shouldn't be a problem.

"Factory announcer?"

"A branch?"

Thinking of what his mother said, Wang Zhuo was stunned for a moment.

Nowadays, isn’t the work of the supervision team just a branch factory?
If there is someone who knows the ins and outs of a branch factory, it is equivalent to buying a nail in the branch factory.

Thinking of this, Wang Zhuo began to look forward to this blind date.

Just as Wang Zhuo was thinking about his next move, a ball of green light flashed outside the window and quickly disappeared into the big tree outside the house.

In the middle of the night, the yard was quiet.

Hei Niu leaned on Wangcai, while Wangwang on the other side had been driven out of the yard by his parents long ago and ran under the big locust tree, alone.

In the yard, there was a big locust tree. Xiao Wei was lying on the leaves, looking at the moon in the sky, as if she wanted to talk to Chang'e inside. Her voice was not loud, like the chirping of insects.

But in this rhythmic conversation, it seemed as if it was suddenly interrupted and stopped for a moment!
Then, he continued talking!

In the main house of the Yang family, inside the room.

After an in-depth conversation, the two hugged each other.

Yang Xiaotao relaxed his body and his breathing gradually calmed down.

Ran Qiuye lay on his chest, and his strong chest made her feel safe.

Only then did the two of them have time to talk in private.

"During the last earthquake, Miaomiao behaved much better."

"It's not like at the beginning, when I was so scared that I ran around the classroom and the teacher was terrified."

"This time he ran out with the teacher, and his complexion looked much better."

As Ran Qiuye was talking, Yang Xiaotao moved his body and felt himself being pressed down by her thighs.

It’s strange, but when it’s pressed down by one leg, it feels very heavy, but when it’s pressed down by the whole body, it doesn’t feel that heavy!
She was now too weak to resist.

"After all, they are just children. Even adults would feel uncomfortable if they encountered something like that."

"Ok!"

"Grandpa and the others are okay?"

"That's great. When the villagers heard that they were going to donate food to the disaster area, every household was very enthusiastic. Even the school collected some notebooks and pencils and sent them over."

"What about those schools? Oh, by the way, are there any new schools to be built this year?"

Yang Xiaotao kept asking questions, but Ran Qiuye didn't rush to answer.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "The support from above is being reduced."

Yang Xiaotao nodded. There was nothing that could be done about it. He also knew that this was just the beginning and there was a long way to go.

But it was not convenient to say this to Ran Qiuye. Besides, she was only involved in an elementary school, and it was a rural school, which was much better than in the city.

"What Big Sister meant is that we can't do too much, but we can't do nothing either."

"One school per year is still possible. Sister Cuiping and I are investigating the surrounding areas."

Speaking of this, Ran Qiuye's flushed face showed a relieved smile, "The local villages are very active. There are already seven or eight villages that want to build schools."

Yang Xiaotao stroked his arm and nodded slightly.

The two talked about school for a while, and Ran Qiuye suddenly changed the subject, "There's one more thing I need your help with."

"you say!"

"It's like this. Hongye and Dani are about to graduate. We don't need to worry about some of them. For example, Hongye and her classmates can continue to study and work at the Agricultural Science Academy. But for the other children, if they can't get into high school, we have to make arrangements!"

Yang Xiaotao understood what Ran Qiuye meant. These children would be fifteen or sixteen years old when they graduated from junior high school. At this age, they are considered little adults and it is time to consider their future lives.

Of course, a junior high school diploma was still very popular when education was not yet popularized.

Students don’t have to worry about not being able to find a job, it just depends on how they are assigned by their superiors.

"The machinery factory does have vacancies for college students, high school students, and middle school students."

"I'll have the HR department look into it then."

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Ran Qiuye said nothing more.

The two chatted for a while, then felt sleepy and fell asleep.

Then, Xiaowei's voice appeared in Yang Xiaotao's mind.

"A drawer of wood? This guy has quite unique interests!"

……

The next day, after Yang Xiaotao and Ran Qiuye got up, they first sent Duanwu and the others to the nursery. Then Ran Qiuye took Miaomiao back to the village to go to school. Only then did Yang Xiaotao come to the machinery factory.

As soon as he entered the office, Guo Liang knocked on the door holding a box of files and then placed them on the desk.

"Boss Yang, this is the material you requested. I worked overtime last night to find it!"

"Three months' worth, it's all here, but it's a bit messy."

Yang Xiaotao knew what was going on when he saw that he looked sleepy, so he said, "Leave the materials here with me. Go and have a rest first. I'll come back to you if there's anything else."

Guo Liang nodded and left the office.

"Xiao'e, help me sort out these materials. I need specific details, accurate numbers, and the results of the summary."

Yang Xiaotao picked up the materials and placed them on Lou Xiaoe's desk. Before Lou Xiaoe could ask, he reminded her, "Also, from this point on, all the items produced using the alloy will be counted."

“This also includes production waste!”

"Go to the archives room to retrieve the information. I'll tell the security department."

Lou Xiao'e was surprised at first, but after hearing what Yang Xiaotao said later, she immediately understood what was going on. "Boss Yang, do you want to check the accounts?"

"Well, don't make this public. It's not good if it gets out!"

Yang Xiaotao did not hide it. Since Lou Xiao'e was asked to do it, he must let her know about it, but he must not let the people below find out, otherwise it would have a bad impact.

The reason why Lou Xiao'e was asked to come was because she had little dealings with the workshop, and she was also his secretary, making her the most suitable person to do this job.

"I see!"

Although Lou Xiao'e didn't know why Yang Xiaotao wanted to investigate this, she had followed her father in the past and had seen this kind of internal factory investigations.

Moreover, the people employed were all from outside the Lou family, and they were usually prevented from getting close to people in the factory.

But later the steel mill became public property, and she had no idea where these people went.

However, after working in the machinery factory for so long, she has never found such a person.

At most, he is responsible for assessment. Now he is in the planning department, but it is just assessment.

After Yang Xiaotao left the office, Lou Xiao'e immediately calmed down and organized the information carefully.

When Yang Xiaotao arrived at Liu Huaimin's office, he closed the door after entering and then sat in front of Liu Huaimin.

Liu Huaimin was processing documents when he saw Yang Xiaotao come in. Without saying a word, he sat opposite him, looking more serious than usual.

"Uncle Liu, I have something to tell you!"

Yang Xiaotao spoke first with a serious expression.

"you say!"

Seeing Yang Xiaotao's serious expression, Liu Huaimin also became serious.

"Yesterday I went to the steel plant to attend a meeting and met Director Wang Junhong from the Metallurgical Department. He told me..."

Yang Xiaotao explained the situation in detail, and Liu Huaimin's expression gradually became solemn.

"Uncle Liu, this aspect of the assessment has always been in your hands. I want to ask, has the material balance been specifically reviewed?"

Liu Huaimin shook his head decisively, his expression becoming serious. "You also know that our production now depends on the tasks we perform."

"We are given tasks by our superiors, and we pass those tasks on to the factories below, asking them to provide materials, and then we do the work."

"As long as we complete the task and the factories below complete their tasks, that's all!"

"You said that the material balance cannot be guaranteed at all!"

After Liu Huaimin finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao nodded. With the current working model, this situation exists not only in machinery factories, but most factories across the country do the same.

But what makes a machinery factory different from other factories is that its tasks are continuous, and some tasks are even scheduled for several months later.

In comparison, other factories can complete their tasks within the same month, which is a much better situation.

After all, if less work is done, the downstream factories will provide less materials, and there will naturally be fewer problems.

"So, you said they're going to start from this aspect?"

Liu Huaimin no longer thought about solutions, but focused on the present.

"Yes, someone from the metallurgical department has already inquired about the materials. The people in the supervision team seem to be honest, but who knows what they are doing secretly."

"I doubt that after all this time, they won't get nothing!"

"Yesterday I asked Director Guo to find the materials for the past three months, and Lou Xiao'e is sorting them out now!"

After hearing this, Liu Huaimin stood up and walked around the office.

"We have to prepare for the worst. What if something goes wrong?"

Yang Xiaotao thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "We can only solve the problem in advance and not give them the opportunity to start!"

Liu Huaimin looked out the window, silent.

Yang Xiaotao sat aside and also didn't say anything.

In fact, both of them knew in their hearts that if they really wanted to find a way, there was one.

Like cooking the books, like making up for the deficit, like...

But they also know that making mistakes upon mistakes will only make things worse.

After a long while, Yang Xiaotao finally spoke, "Old Liu, I have an idea."

"you say!"

"In fact, regarding the last incident at the steel plant, everyone's execution was OK at the beginning, but became more and more perfunctory as time went on. That's when I had an idea! This incident made me think that regardless of whether there are any problems, we should set up an internal audit control organization in order to be prepared for any eventuality."

"internal review?"

Liu Huaimin looked surprised. You know, the factory already had a security department and a quality assessment team. In his opinion, there was no need to set up a new department. The security department could just take over the investigation.

But when he saw Yang Xiaotao's expression, Liu Huaimin felt that this was not groundless.

"Yes, the internal audit team will regularly audit the factory's internal standards, personnel operations, materials, and work."

“It’s better for us to discover the problem ourselves than for others to discover it!”

"At least this is our internal matter, and we still have a chance to correct it!"

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Liu Huaimin sat back in his chair and thought silently.

After a long while, he raised his head and said, "Internal audit, this is no small matter. Who will audit it? This is the work of the bad guys. Have you thought about it?"

Yang Xiaotao smiled gently, "I proposed it, so naturally I will take the lead."

"As for internal auditors, I don't need people from the factory. I will recruit a group from students. They have no connection with the factory, but they have culture and knowledge. As long as they are given the regulatory framework, they can get started."

"After three to five years of training and improvement, it will be almost there!"

When Liu Huaimin heard Yang Xiaotao say this, he knew that he had made up his mind, so he nodded and said, "I'll report to Mr. Chen later. You just prepare first!"

"it is good!"

After they reached an agreement, Yang Xiaotao got up and left.
