Siheyuan: a better life

Chapter 238 Abusing power for personal gain!

"Xiao Chen! What's the matter with you looking for me so urgently?" Boss Kou came out of the conference room, saw Secretary Chen standing outside the conference room, and asked Secretary Chen with a serious face.

Secretary Chen heard Boss Kou's inquiry, thought of the news that he had come here, and reported respectfully: "Boss Kou! More than half an hour ago, Wu Aiguo called me and said that there was a cargo ship full of grain. , will arrive in China in three days."

This meeting was held to address the issue of food shortage.

After hearing Secretary Chen's report, Mr. Kou was very happy to learn that a freighter full of grain would arrive in China in three days. He quickly asked Secretary Chen: "Xiao Chen! Is there anything patriotic about it?" I didn’t tell you how many kilograms of grain will be shipped?”

Secretary Chen heard Boss Kou's inquiry and immediately reported to Boss Kou: "Boss Kou! Section Chief Wu said that the first batch of grain is 12 tons of wheat, and there will be two batches of grain shipped to China in the future."

Boss Kou learned that the first batch of grain shipped to the country would be 12 tons, which made him very happy. He quickly held Secretary Chen's wrist and said to Secretary Chen: "Xiao Chen! Let's go! Come with me to the meeting Office, please report this matter to all the bosses."

Boss Kou took Xiao Chen's wrist, walked quickly into the conference room, and said to everyone in the conference room with a happy face: "Bosses! There is great news. More than half an hour ago, Wu Patriotic called my secretary and said that a freighter carrying 12 tons of grain will arrive in our country in three days."

Several bosses in the conference room heard the news reported by Mr. Kou. One of them confirmed to Mr. Kou with a look of surprise: "Xiao Kou! Are you sure it's true?"

When Mr. Kou heard the old man's question, he nodded with a smile and replied: "Mr. Li! If Wu Aiguo is not joking about my secretary, then it is true."

"Although 12 tons of grain is not much, it can solve our urgent needs. This batch of grain came in a timely manner." One of the old men heard the answer of the Kou boss very affirmatively, thinking of the current shortage of food in various places. Things, couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and said happily.

The old man sitting in the chief seat heard everyone's speech, picked up the cigarette box on the table, took out a cigarette from it, tapped the cigarette butt against the table a few times, then picked up the matchbox and lit it. Serve cigarettes.

After taking a puff of his cigarette, the old man asked Boss Kou unhurriedly: "Little Kou! Last time Lao Zhou proposed to set up a foreign affairs procurement department, did you talk to Wu Aiguo?"

When Boss Kou heard the old man's inquiry, he immediately reported respectfully: "Boss! I have already talked with Wu Aiguo about this matter, but Wu Aiguo believes that when his friend delivers information to him, he will report it as soon as possible. , there is absolutely no need to set up this department specifically.”

When the old man heard Boss Kou's report, he asked Boss Kou curiously: "Little Kou! Does that friend of Wu Aiguo have something to hide?"

When Boss Kou heard the old man's inquiry, he remembered the other party's concerns and reported respectfully: "Dear bosses! Wu Aiguo once told me that his mysterious friend's family all lives abroad. If those countries in the West , and found out that their family is secretly supporting us, they will definitely take some measures against his family, which is why he dare not show up in public."

"As for Wu Aiguo's unwillingness to be transferred to the foreign affairs procurement department, it is because he is worried that he will be targeted by enemy agents and put his relatives in danger."

After hearing the report from Boss Kou, the old man understood why the other party was unwilling to meet them. Thinking of the fear between my mysterious person and Wu Aiguo, the old man nodded and replied: "Since that mysterious friend, If you don't want to contact us directly, then let Wu Aiguo coordinate."

Boss Kou nodded when he heard the old man finally made a decision, and said respectfully: "Boss! I will tell Wu Aiguo what you think."

One of the old men, after hearing what the boss told Mr. Kou, thought of a piece of news he had heard, and said to Mr. Kou with a serious face: "Old Kou! I heard that Wu Aiguo mobilized supplies for the Chaoyang Supply and Marketing Cooperative. For a while, I have been using food to exchange supplies with some factories in Kyoto."

"Because of this news, I have always had a doubt in my heart. Since Wu Aiguo's mysterious friend is not in the country, where did Wu Aiguo get the food on hand?"

Mr. Kou had naturally heard of the news about Wu Aiguo exchanging grain for supplies, but in Mr. Kou's subconscious mind, Wu Aiguo not only violated the rules, but was actually helping the factories in Kyoto City in disguise.

Faced with the boss's inquiry, Mr. Kou frowned slightly and replied: "Old Zheng! I don't know where the food Wu Aiguo has is shipped from, but one thing is certain. The individual did not seek benefit from it, and since he did not benefit himself at the expense of others, why should we be so serious about it?"

Boss Zheng heard Boss Kou's answer, but he didn't agree with Boss Kou's idea, and retorted to Boss Kou: "Old Kou! You just said that Wu Aiguo didn't seek benefits from it, so Wu Aiguo asked for work indicators from those factories. , so what's going on?"

"In addition, I also heard that you have given Wu Aiguo ten work quotas before the factory is officially completed. Is this what you mean by not using power for personal gain?"

Faced with the question raised by Mr. Zheng, Mr. Kou did not take it to heart at all. Instead, he replied calmly: "Old Zheng! There is indeed such a thing about work indicators, but I want to make a statement here. If anyone can invent a product that can bring benefits and can be exported to earn foreign exchange, I will also give him ten work indicators."

"Xiao Zheng! Regarding the ten work indicators, I personally said hello to Xiao Kai! We must let the horses run and eat grass. Just the steel-making equipment in the steel rolling mill, don't worry. It is said to be ten work indicators, even if it is twenty work indicators, it is reasonable." After hearing Boss Kou's answer, Mr. Zhou wanted to say something when he saw Mr. Zheng, so he directly interrupted the conversation between the two.

When the boss heard Mr. Zhou's answer, he immediately answered: "Xiao Zheng! Lao Zhou is right, we can't just focus on the present, but we must take a longer-term view."

After the boss said this, he picked up a calligraphy and painting placed on the conference table and said to Mr. Kou cordially: "Xiao Kou! I wrote this calligraphy in my spare time. Now please hand it over to me." Give it to Wu Aiguo, thank him on my behalf."
