"Director Tang passed away in 1995. I remember my father took our whole family to attend his memorial service."
Old Mrs. Li flicked the ash from her cigarette and played a Wanzi card. Gossiping with the fat boy beside her did not hinder her from playing cards at all.
"Five cakes, bang! Director Tang, I heard from my dad that he shouldn't have ended up like this."
The fat man's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"What's wrong with this old Director Tang?"
"He had originally been on good terms with the then Deputy Director Huang, who later became General Manager Huang of the Gold Company, but then he changed his mind."
"Who wants three?"
"At that time, I had just joined the union as a temporary worker in the mine. The relationship between the two sides, which had been easing, became chaotic for some reason, and even my master was almost involved."
The old lady never looks at the cards she draws, she just throws them away. She is almost winning.
"If my father hadn't told me the reason behind this later, I wouldn't have known that Director Tang was actually such a good man. He's so loyal!"
"Director Tang worked his way up from the grassroots level in the bureau. After being promoted, he worked in the personnel department. He recruited my father and his group into the bureau through examinations."
"What happened in 1982 was really unfortunate. During the restructuring and division of the family business, my father's group happened to be retiring."
"There were 41 people in my father's group who reached retirement age, and their retirement reports all stated they would retire in mid-November because that would be the perfect time for them to have a full year of service, and their retirement benefits would be much better."
"I was originally scheduled to separate from the gold company in the middle of that year, but when I retired after the separation, my retirement relationship was transferred from the provincial government to the city government. I also happened to hear that the city government's retirement policy was being changed, and it seemed that my benefits would be reduced."
"Well, so for the sake of my father's old subordinates... Director Tang held on for a few more months."
"In October, an inspector arrived from Beijing. Then Director Tang inexplicably resigned after a month of sick leave. I heard he was even punished."
"After retirement, the salary is not that of a director, but rather a deputy director."
"But my father's group all retired from the provincial government. When the old man left, he kept saying sorry to Director Tang. Hey, hey! Wait a minute,~~ Hu!"
Old Mrs. Li touched herself with great joy, and her words became more and more unrestrained.
"Deputy Director Huang seemed smug afterwards, but if Director Tang hadn't helped him stop those who were trying every possible means to split the company's business, the establishment of the Gold Company wouldn't have been so easy."
The fat man is now experienced and knows that if he wants to find old news, he still has to rely on the chess and card room.
He swept the old men and women in several nearby chess and card rooms for a few days, and although he lost a thousand or two thousand yuan, the news he received far exceeded his investment.
Zhang Hongcheng was not qualified to interfere in the orthodox business of the Mining Bureau, but he did not want to just gain experience for three months in vain, so he focused on the content related to trade unions and family members within the scope of his research.
But he still lacked a starting point - to let Tang Jianan and Huang Jianmin take the initiative (force) to participate in the management of certain affairs.
One's passive personality cannot be destroyed - it is easier to pass the blame this way.
After "investigating" the economy of the family quarters, Zhang Hongcheng simply drafted a plan and threw it to the office managed by Li Xianghong.
There are many good writers in the office, and they all rush to help him improve this report - this is a report to be sent to Beijing!
With this qualification, who will be the first choice when the office is selecting people for promotion next time?
At the same time, Zhang Hongcheng also wanted Tang Jianan and Huang Jianmin to know what was written in his report.
In the next few days, Zhang Hongcheng studied and analyzed the information and messages sent by the fat man one by one.
He finally set his sights on a small incident.
After repeatedly weighing the risks and examining the planned schedule, Zhang Hongcheng decided to use this as a starting point to open a door for himself to do something.
There are four best writers in the Mining Bureau office.
They are Bai Hong, a normal school student who graduated with a major in Chinese language, Gan Xiaojun, the third runner-up in the city daily submission competition two years ago, Zhuo Yimei, who writes specifically for Director Tang, and Sha Ningyuan, an old man who drafts most of the notices and documents in the bureau.
Although Zhang Hongcheng's first report was very abstract, Li Xianghong still attached great importance to it. He personally organized these four writers into a group and revised Zhang Hongcheng's report again and again.
The choice of words was carefully considered and polished, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that the draft was revised seven times.
After sending out the report that satisfied everyone, Zhang Hongcheng offered to treat everyone in the bureau's office to a simple meal.
Li Xianghong and the others simply declined a few times before agreeing immediately.
Of course, Li Xianghong had already informed the finance department privately - when the time comes, don't just focus on eating yourself, but be sure to rush to pay the bill. How could Zhang Chuangchao pay for it himself?
It's like an office dinner!
The Laicheng Mining Bureau is very large, with five or six state-owned restaurants and canteens alone.
The place where Zhang Hongcheng invited guests was a bit remote. It was the oldest and smallest state-owned restaurant in the Mining Bureau.
Moreover, he only notified Li Xianghong at around three or four in the afternoon, saying that he would treat everyone in the office after get off work today and everyone had to go.
Although Investigator Zhang from Beijing doesn't have much responsibility, he is very kind and easy to get along with. When he says he wants to treat everyone to a meal, everyone will naturally come to support him.
Investigator Zhang was also very thoughtful. He asked Li Xianghong to notify the state-owned restaurant not to make any additional arrangements.
"We'll eat in the back room. We absolutely cannot interfere with the normal business of the front of the restaurant!"
Although Zhang Hongcheng used a joking tone, the meaning of his words was very serious.
"Director Xiang Hong, we must not allow our gathering to affect the normal operation of the catering unit. It would be best if even the restaurant staff do not know about this."
As they are both people in the system, Li Xianghong naturally understands Zhang Hongcheng's concerns.
Li Xianghong couldn't help but sigh privately that it was really rare for Zhang Hongcheng, who was able to climb to the position of deputy director at such a young age, to be so cautious in his work.
Li Xianghong was extremely cautious in his work and made clear arrangements for the state-owned restaurant.
It was ensured that only the restaurant manager knew who was treating the guests, and the back room of the restaurant was completely separated from the front room.
All those attending the dinner entered through the back door of the restaurant.
The office dinner was nothing more than chatting and laughing. Halfway through the meal, Li Xianghong signaled the office finance department with her eyes to go out for a while.
Zhang Hongcheng glanced at the clock hanging on the wall calmly.
It’s almost time!
"Director Li, you guys continue using it. I'll be back soon if I need to go to the bathroom."
Li Xianghong glanced at her finance manager with a hint of pride.
"Just go ahead, Zhang Liaoyan. We'll wait for you to come back and continue drinking."
After Zhang Hongcheng had been out for about seven or eight minutes, a huge noise suddenly came from the direction of the front hall.
Li Xianghong and others' faces changed at the same time because they all heard Investigator Zhang's loud shouting.
Something bad has happened!
