Siheyuan: a better life

Chapter 835 You Changzheng takes the initiative to report his work!
Seeing that Wu Aiguo did not respond to his words, You Changzheng remained calm on the surface, but he was extremely anxious on the inside. He reported to Wu Aiguo with a fake smile: "Director Wu! Since we have established contact with the supplier in England, we have imported a total of 30 machine tools and five textile machines from England."

"We used these equipment to exchange for goods worth 1.3 million from several factories in Kyoto City. Now all the goods have been shipped to Hong Kong."

After hearing what You Changzheng said, Wu Aiguo pretended to be surprised and said to You Changzheng: "Deputy Director You! I didn't expect that you have purchased so much equipment in just one month."

"But then again, you are cooperating with merchants from England. Why are these goods shipped to Hong Kong? Is there something wrong?"

After You Changzheng received the call from the old man yesterday, he immediately called his father and told him the old man’s request.

Yesterday evening, You Changzheng had just returned home from work when he was called into the study by his father. You Changzheng then learned from his father that after his uncle-in-law went to Hong Kong, he frequently went to high-end places in Hong Kong under the guise of receiving foreign businessmen. In just less than three months, he had spent all the annual reception expenses of the Red Star Trading Company, a total of more than 100,000 yuan.

In addition, Li Jianshe also misappropriated the payment for goods collected by the Red Star Trading Company. Although the person in charge of the investigation did not find out the reason why Li Jianshe misappropriated the payment for goods, he discovered that Li Jianshe used the equipment obtained from the English to obtain a large amount of goods from the country through barter and You Changzheng, and then sold these goods to foreign businessmen cooperating with the Red Star Trading Company at a price lower than the export price of the Red Star Trading Company.

Not to mention that Li Jianshe spent all the more than 100,000 yuan of reception expenses of Red Star Trading Company, just the fact that Li Jianshe took advantage of his position to embezzle the payment for goods is enough to make Li Jianshe spend the rest of his life in jail, not to mention that Li Jianshe used You Changzheng to obtain a large number of low-priced goods from the country, and then sold them to customers of Red Star Trading Company in his personal name, making huge profits from it.

Li Jianshe is the son-in-law of the You family, and You Changzheng is a disciple of the You family. If You Changzheng is allowed to distance himself from this matter before the higher-ups send people to investigate, not only will You Changzheng go to jail because of this matter, the You family will also suffer an unimaginable blow because of this matter.

When You Changzheng heard Wu Aiguo's question and thought of his father's instructions last night, he replied with an evasive look: "Director Wu! Because that English businessman has a company in Hong Kong, the machinery and equipment we purchased were also sent from the company in Hong Kong."

When Wu Aiguo heard what You Changzheng had said, he suddenly realized something and replied with a smile, "Deputy Director You! When I first learned about the whereabouts of the goods, I wanted to ask you about the details. Now I am finally relieved."

When You Changzheng heard Wu Aiguo's answer, he recalled the excuse he had prepared before he came to Wu Aiguo, and he quickly said to Wu Aiguo, "Director Wu! Isn't the Chinese New Year just ten days away? I haven't settled the year-end benefits for the comrades in the department yet."

"In order to let the comrades in the department have a prosperous new year, I plan to give the work of exchanging equipment for goods to the second department of the department. Do you think this is okay?"

When Wu Aiguo saw that You Changzheng actually took the initiative to propose to hand over the procurement work he was in charge of, he immediately realized that the You family must have heard about it and was trying to distance themselves from Li Jianshe.

Wu Aiguo had been planning for a long time to get the You family into a trap. Now that the harvest was about to come, how could Wu Aiguo easily let You Changzheng jump out of the trap? Facing the idea proposed by You Changzheng, Wu Aiguo smiled and said to You Changzheng: "Deputy Director You! Director Lin specifically came to me yesterday to report on the preparations for the year-end benefits of our comrades."

"Also, the Ministry of Industry called me yesterday and said that in order to thank us, a batch of supplies will be sent to us within the next two days. With this batch of supplies sent by the Ministry of Industry and the supplies you have purchased during this period, it is more than enough for our comrades to have a good New Year."

"As for the procurement of equipment in exchange for goods, you have been in charge of this work from the beginning. Now there are only ten days left before the Chinese New Year. I think it is better to wait until after the Chinese New Year to discuss this matter!"

The reason why You Changzheng was eager to hand over this procurement work was that he wanted to distance himself from Li Jianshe and avoid being implicated by Li Jianshe and ruining his future.

In You Changzheng's subconscious mind, as long as he made this suggestion to Wu Aiguo, Wu Aiguo would definitely agree happily. Unexpectedly, Wu Aiguo not only did not agree, but also asked him to continue to be responsible for this work.

Wu Aiguo's decision was completely beyond You Changzheng's expectations, so You Changzheng was a little unprepared. He quickly asked Wu Aiguo, "Director Wu! You know it's the end of the year now. I have some things to deal with at home during this period. I don't have time to take care of the work at hand. Can you find someone to take care of it for me temporarily?"

Let's not talk about the fact that You Changzheng's so-called letting someone take over the management was for the purpose of shirking responsibility. Even if it was not for shirking responsibility, Wu Aiguo would not let You Changzheng get his way. After all, all this was the result of Wu Aiguo's planning behind the scenes. Wu Aiguo naturally would not let You Changzheng escape at this time.

Facing You Changzheng's request, Wu Aiguo showed an embarrassment on his face, and said to You Changzheng: "Deputy Director You! It's not that I don't want to help you, but now it's the end of the year, and everyone has a lot of work on hand. Who do you want me to find to take over your job?"

"After all, our Trade Department is not like the Organization Department where you worked before. We don't have much to do on weekdays, but at the end of the year, there are a lot of things to do. Now everyone in the department is extremely busy. Even if I want to help you, I can't spare anyone for a while."

Seeing that Wu Aiguo still refused to let him hand over the procurement work, You Changzheng was anxious like an ant on a hot pot. Thinking that there was not much time left before the Chinese New Year, You Changzheng could only helplessly answer: "Director Wu! Since you said so, I will hand over this work to someone else after the Chinese New Year."

When Wu Aiguo heard You Changzheng's answer, a wise look flashed in his eyes, and he replied with a smile: "Okay! Deputy Director You! After the New Year, let's have another meeting to discuss the specific work arrangements."
