Siheyuan: a better life

Chapter 820 Conspiracy!

Zhang Jianzhong stood beside Hu Haifeng, watching the jeep driving away. He asked Hu Haifeng curiously, "Director Hu! Is this cousin of Wu Aiyun really a department-level cadre?"

When Hu Haifeng heard Zhang Jianzhong's question and thought of the power in Wu Aiguo's hands, he said to Zhang Jianzhong with envy: "Xiao Zhang! Director Wu is not only a department-level leader, but also a leader with real power."

When Zhang Jianzhong heard Hu Haifeng's answer and thought of Wu Aiguo's actual age, he couldn't help but sigh, "Oh my goodness! Director Wu is definitely not over 30 years old. He has become a powerful department-level cadre at such a young age. Has he been an official since he was in his mother's womb?"

When Hu Haifeng heard Zhang Jianzhong's sigh and thought of the rumors about Wu Aiguo, he showed an envious expression on his face and said to Zhang Jianzhong, "Xiao Zhang! In the past, Director Wu's status could be described as simple in the heart of the emperor. This is why he was able to become a director at such a young age."

Seeing Hu Haifeng use the phrase "Jian Zai Di Xin" to describe Wu Aiguo's identity and background, Zhang Jianzhong was shocked. He envied Wu Aiguo from the bottom of his heart and murmured to himself, "I never thought that Wu Aiyun's cousin would have such great ability!"

Time passed quickly, and more than a month had passed in the blink of an eye. You Changzheng, who had worked in the Trade Department for more than a month, gradually became familiar with the work of the Trade Department. He also used the background of the You family to win over several cadres of the Trade Department, trying to gain some voice in the Trade Department.

"Ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta-ta!"

At around nine o'clock in the morning, when You Changzheng was sitting in his office reading documents, there was a sudden knock on the door.

You Changzheng heard the knock on the door and subconsciously looked up. When he saw Sha Zhu standing at the door, he showed a surprised expression on his face and asked Sha Zhu curiously, "Director He! What's the matter with you looking for me?"

After hearing what You Changzheng said, Sha Zhu walked into You Changzheng's office and reported to You Changzheng, "Deputy Director You! The meat in the logistics warehouse is almost used up. I need you to arrange for someone to purchase a batch of meat as soon as possible. Otherwise, the cafeteria will have no meat to serve in four days."

When You Changzheng heard Sha Zhu's report, he was surprised and asked Sha Zhu in confusion, "Director He! If I remember correctly, at the beginning of the month, the buyer just purchased 200 kilograms of pork from the meat processing plant. Now it's only the middle of the month, how come there is no pork in the warehouse?"

When Sha Zhu heard You Changzheng's question, he immediately reported to You Changzheng: "Deputy Director You! Our unit's canteen has to serve meat dishes every two days, which means an average of ten kilograms of pork per day. In addition, you and Deputy Director Qiao have been entertaining guests in the small canteen for the past two weeks. How can these two hundred kilograms of pork be enough?"

When You Changzheng heard Sha Zhu's report, he immediately asked him, "Director He! Then can you notify the buyers and ask them to find a way to buy some pork that was not planned?"

When Sha Zhu heard what You Changzheng said, he immediately replied, "Deputy Director You! If Uncle Qin hadn't bought 50 kilograms of wild boar meat, the canteen wouldn't have been able to serve meat dishes today."

When You Changzheng heard what Sha Zhu had said, he frowned slightly and asked him in a serious tone, "Director He! When similar situations happened in the past, how did the logistics department handle it?"

In the past, Wu Aiguo was directly in charge of logistics, and the canteen never lacked meat. If no one had reported to the higher-ups, the canteen would not have changed from supplying meat every day to supplying meat every other day.

When Sha Zhu heard You Changzheng asking about the countermeasures in logistics, he immediately reported to You Changzheng: "Deputy Director You! In the past, logistics was directly managed by the director. When there was not enough meat, except for Uncle Qin who purchased some unplanned meat from outside, the rest was transferred back by the director himself through connections! Now that logistics is under your charge, I naturally can't go to the director anymore, so I came to you."

When Wu Aiguo handed over the logistics to You Changzheng, although You Changzheng felt something was wrong, he did not take it to heart.

Now, after hearing Sha Zhu's report and thinking about the daily food supply standards in the Trade Bureau's canteen, You Changzheng immediately realized that if he, the newly transferred deputy director, could not ensure the normal logistics supply for lunch, it would definitely cause dissatisfaction among the employees of the Trade Bureau. Once the employees became dissatisfied with him, it would be almost impossible for him to gain a say in the Trade Bureau.

Realizing this, You Changzheng finally understood why Wu Aiguo gave him the responsibility of managing the logistics business. He had to admire Wu Aiguo's ability and said to Sha Zhu, "Director He! I know about this matter. I will solve the problem of meat shortage as soon as possible."

When Sha Zhu heard You Changzheng's promise, he knew that his goal had been achieved. He smiled and said to You Changzheng, "Deputy Director You! Then I will go back to the cafeteria to work first."

Seeing Sha Zhu walk out of his office, You Changzheng's face immediately revealed a ferocious expression, and he cursed in his heart: "Damn Wu Aiguo, I was wondering why Wu Aiguo gave me the logistics to take charge of, it turns out he was waiting for me here." "Wu Aiguo did have a good plan, but unfortunately he underestimated the power of our You family. Let alone getting a few hundred kilograms of pork every month, even getting a few thousand kilograms of pork is a piece of cake for our You family."

You Changzheng cursed to this point, reached out and pressed the phone on the desk, shook the phone handle quickly a few times, then picked up the receiver and said, "This is the Trade Department. Please transfer me to the office of Deputy Director You of the Ministry of Finance."

"Hello! This is Vice President You's office. Who is this?" The call was quickly connected, and a middle-aged man's inquiring voice came immediately from the phone.

When You Changzheng heard the middle-aged man's question, he immediately smiled and asked him, "Uncle Liao! It's me! Changzheng! Is my dad here? Please let my dad answer the phone."

When the middle-aged man heard You Changzheng's words, his originally serious face revealed a warm smile, and he said to You Changzheng: "Changzheng! The general manager is meeting with the director of the Audit Department. Please wait a moment, I will ask for you first."

"Changzheng! I heard from Xiao Liao that you have something very important to talk to me about. I wonder what it is?" After You Changzheng waited for a few minutes, he heard a middle-aged man's friendly voice asking inquiries on the phone.

When You Changzheng heard the middle-aged man's question, he quickly introduced himself to him, "Dad! Do you remember that after I reported to the Trade Department, I told you that Wu Aiguo had given me the responsibility of logistics?"

When Mr. You heard what You Changzheng said, he replied calmly, "Changzheng! I know about this matter. Did you call me just for this matter?"

When You Changzheng heard Mr. You's question, he thought of the trap Wu Aiguo had set for him, and immediately reported to Mr. You: "Dad! This is what happened this morning!"

After hearing what You Changzheng said, Mr. You finally understood the whole story and said to You Changzheng calmly, "Changzheng! Wu Aiguo's arrangement is a complete conspiracy. No matter how you look at it, the other party is right. After all, logistics is indeed an important department."

When You Changzheng heard Mr. You's answer, he thought about the negative impact that insufficient logistics would have on him as the person in charge, so he quickly introduced to Mr. You: "Dad! In the past, Wu Aiguo always used excessive food to win people's hearts within the Trade Department. Now I am the person in charge of the logistics department. If I can't guarantee excessive food for the Trade Department, I will definitely be isolated by the employees in the Trade Department, which will have a negative impact on my work."

When Mr. You heard what You Changzheng said, he immediately guessed the purpose of the message You Changzheng brought to him, and asked You Changzheng in a very serious tone: "Changzheng! If I am not mistaken, you called me to ask me to help you say hello to the slaughterhouse and ask the slaughterhouse to increase the supply share of your Trade Department, right?"

Just as Mr. You guessed, You Changzheng called him because he wanted his father to help him solve the problem of insufficient meat supply in the Trade Bureau.

Facing Mr. You's inquiry, You Changzheng did not feel anything wrong and said to Mr. You, "Dad! I have always worked in the Organization Department and I don't know anyone in the Supply and Marketing Department at all. Now Wu Aiguo is using the shortage of meat supply to set me up. If I can't solve this problem, it will be even more difficult for me to gain a foothold in the Trade Department!"

After learning the reason why his son called him, Mr. You showed a disappointed expression on his face. He complained to You Changzheng in dissatisfaction: "Changzheng! You have worked for so many years, but you even need help from your family to buy some pork. You really disappoint me."

When You Changzheng heard what Mr. You said, a depressed expression appeared on his face, and he answered, "Dad! I have been working in the ministry since then, and I don't know anyone in the supply and marketing system or the meat processing plant. Where can I get pork?"

When Mr. You heard You Changzheng's answer, he reprimanded him with a look of dissatisfaction: "Changzheng! I reminded you at the beginning that when you are working, you must not develop a character of high expectations but low skills because of your status. You must learn to unite all the forces that can be united and integrate into the masses."

"Look at Wu Aiguo, he has no background, but he has become the director of the Trade Department. And you, relying on the support of your family, can't even do such a small thing. With your current condition, how can you complete the task assigned to you by your grandfather?"

When You Changzheng heard Mr. You's reprimand, he thought of Wu Aiguo, who was full of vigor and vitality, and replied with a guilty look on his face: "Dad! This matter is related to whether I can gain a firm foothold in the Trade Department. Please help me!"
