Siheyuan: a better life

Chapter 860 was reported!
"Director Wu! We are from the Discipline Inspection Department of the State Council. I am Han Xudong, deputy director of the Inspection Department. These two are my colleagues Guo Xiaohua, and this one is Zheng Tiejun!" At around nine o'clock the next morning, three middle-aged men in Mao suits suddenly appeared at the door of Wu Aiguo's office. The leading middle-aged man walked into Wu Aiguo's office first, took out his work ID from his pocket, and introduced himself to Wu Aiguo with a serious face.

After hearing Han Xudong's self-introduction, Jia Dongming took the work permit from him, took a serious look at it, and handed it back to him, smiling and saying, "Director Han! Two comrades from the Supervision Department, please take a seat first! I'll arrange for someone to make you a cup of tea."

"Director Wu! There's no need to make tea. The main reason we came here this time is because we received a letter of complaint saying that your Trade Department took advantage of your position to use the purchased equipment to exchange a batch of unplanned bicycles from the Fei Ge Bicycle Factory, and then sold these bicycles to individuals to make personal gains." When Han Xudong heard Wu Aiguo's words, he immediately spoke up to stop Wu Aiguo from asking someone to make tea for them, and also told him the purpose of their trip.

When Wu Aiguo used his equipment to exchange for bicycles outside the plan from the Fei Ge Bicycle Factory, he was worried that those who had ill intentions towards him would use the bicycle issue to cause trouble for him, so when the bicycles were distributed, Wu Aiguo did not take any.

As for the bicycles allocated to the People's Hospital and other factories, although the prices were slightly higher, all the money earned was deposited into the public account by Wu Aiguo.

After learning the purpose of their visit, Wu Aiguo smiled and asked Han Xudong, "Director Han! What you just said is completely false."

"Years ago, the director of Fei Ge Bicycle Factory came to me and said that they wanted to exchange some unplanned bicycles for a batch of equipment from our Trade Department. At that time, I thought that it was a business-to-business transaction, and many of our colleagues in the company did not have means of transportation, so I agreed to the request of Fei Ge Bicycle Factory."

"There are more than 1,200 bicycles in this batch, but our Trade Department only has a few dozen people. So apart from the few dozen bicycles that our Trade Department consumed on its own, I gave all the remaining bicycles to other brother units. As the head of the Trade Department, I didn't keep any."

"Director Wu! According to what we have learned, you added twenty yuan to the price of each bicycle that you distributed to other factories and units. The whistleblower said that this money was distributed by your Trade Department as welfare? Is this true?" Zheng Tiejun asked Wu Aiguo first after hearing what Wu Aiguo had said.

When Wu Aiguo heard Zheng Tiejun's words and saw the scrutinizing expression on his face, a meaningful expression appeared on his face. He smiled and said to Zheng Tiejun, "Comrade Zheng Tiejun! Whether our Trade Department secretly distributed this money as welfare is not up to you, nor is it up to me, nor is it up to the whistleblower. Only facts can count."

Wu Aiguo said this, then stood up from the sofa, walked to the door of the office, and shouted to the office not far away: "Director Lin! Come to my office."

Lin Xuemei was sorting materials in the office. When she heard Wu Aiguo's shouting from outside the corridor, an expression of confusion immediately appeared on her face. However, she still put down the materials in her hand, stood up from her desk, and walked quickly out of the office.

When Lin Xuemei walked to the door of Wu Aiguo's office, she saw several strangers sitting in the office. Wu Aiguo saw these strangers and asked him with a puzzled look on his face: "Director! What do you want to talk to me about?"

When Wu Aiguo heard Lin Xuemei's question, he immediately introduced to her: "Director Lin! Let me introduce you first. These three comrades are from the Discipline Inspection Department of the State Council. This is Deputy Director Han Xudong, and these are Guo Xiaohua and Zheng Tiejun!" "The Discipline Inspection Department received a report that our Trade Department used equipment to exchange for a batch of unplanned bicycles with Fei Ge Bicycle Factory, and there was a violation of discipline such as abuse of power for personal gain and even embezzlement. We are required to cooperate with the investigation."

"What! We abused our power for personal gain and enriched ourselves. How is this possible?" When Lin Xuemei learned the identities of the three people and the purpose of their coming to the Trade Bureau, an incredible expression came across her face and she angrily refuted the report.

Wu Aiguo saw Lin Xuemei's reaction and said to her calmly, "Director Lin! What is true cannot be false, and what is false cannot be true either. Take Guo Xiaohua and Zheng Tiejun to the Finance Department and show them the account books, so that they won't suspect that we really treated the money as welfare."

When Lin Xuemei heard what Wu Aiguo said, she immediately realized that the so-called letter of accusation was directed at Wu Aiguo. Thinking of Wu Aiguo's original arrangement, Lin Xuemei couldn't help but admire Wu Aiguo's foresight.

At this time, Lin Xuemei pressed the three people sitting on the sofa with an expressionless face, and said in a cold tone: "Comrade Guo Xiaohua! Comrade Zheng Tiejun! Please follow me, I.!"

"Director Wu! You don't need to ask Director Lin to take us to the Finance Department, because our colleagues are already conducting an investigation in your Finance Department office." Han Xudong learned the purpose of Wu Aiguo calling Lin Xuemei over, and without waiting for Lin Xuemei to finish her words, he told Wu Aiguo and Lin Xuemei that he had arranged people to go to the Finance Department to investigate.

Wu Aiguo had no objection to the arrangement of the disciplinary inspection department. After all, he was upright and had nothing to fear. He was not worried at all that the people behind him would be able to find any evidence against him in the Trade Department.

After hearing Han Xudong's introduction, Wu Aiguo smiled and said to Lin Xuemei, "Director Lin! Since Deputy Director Han has arranged for someone to investigate, let's wait here for the results of the investigation."

Just as Wu Aiguo was accompanying Han Xudong and others in the office waiting for the results of the investigation, the news that the disciplinary supervision department was going to the Trade Department to investigate the bicycle incident spread throughout the Trade Department like a gust of wind.

When the employees in the Trade Department learned that Wu Aiguo was reported for seeking benefits for them, they all expressed their intention to find someone from the disciplinary inspection department to seek justice for Wu Aiguo. As a result, it was not long before the door of Wu Aiguo's office was surrounded by cadres from the Trade Department.

Wu Aiguo saw his subordinates gathered outside the office door and heard their angry protests. He stood up from the sofa in the office with the three people, walked quickly to the door of the office, and asked the people gathered outside the corridor with a serious face: "What do you want to do? Comrades from the discipline inspection department are just here to understand the situation. Everyone should do what they are supposed to do and don't affect the normal work of the department."
