Chapter 425: No one will think you are dumb if you don’t speak!
To keep up with the trend, the brothers Li Hongjun and Li Hongliang bought one each. Zhou Yong also wanted to buy a motorcycle, but he felt it was not practical, so he and Li Ming each ordered a jeep.
The car will arrive at the end of August, and it will be convenient to go anywhere with it.
The two men talked as they entered the lobby on the first floor. After chatting for a while, Li Hongjun went to the office of the Public Security Brigade, while Zhou Yong went up to the second floor.
Zhou Yong took out his key, opened the door of his office, and strode in.
As soon as he sat down on the chair, the landline phone on the desk rang.
The call was from Wu Peng. A classmate of his with whom he had a good relationship was getting married, and he wanted to take a few days off to go out of town.
Zhou Yong readily approved Wu Peng's leave and asked him to go to the finance department of the garment factory to withdraw 500 yuan as travel expenses.
Wu Peng knew Zhou Yong's kindness to him, so he resolutely refused to accept the money.
In his heart, Zhou Yong is not only his boss, but also his benefactor.
Without Zhou Yong's support, he might be working in the village or farming at home, living an ordinary life.
But now, Wu Peng's life has undergone tremendous changes. He drove around in his jeep every day, dealing with people from all walks of life, and enjoying unprecedented scenery and sense of accomplishment. All this is thanks to Zhou Yong's appreciation and reuse.
But it must be said that Wu Peng has demonstrated extraordinary talent and strength in his work. Not only did he manage the garment factory in an orderly manner, he also successfully ran three restaurants.
Wu Peng's outstanding performance impressed Zhou Yong. In addition to giving him a basic salary, he also gave him an additional 15% of the shares of the garment factory.
This made Wu Peng Zhou Yong's confidant and even more loyal to him.
After hanging up the phone with Wu Peng, Zhou Yong frowned, his eyes a little dazed.
The knock on the door brought Zhou Yong's wandering thoughts back to reality, and Sun Qing walked in with the approved accounts.
"Brother Zhou, two accounts have been checked and need your signature..."
Zhou Yong took the account book without even looking at it, and directly picked up the pen in the pen holder to sign.
"I'm going out for a while, I'll leave the house to you..."
Zhou Yong signed the document and assigned the work.
Sun Qing frowned slightly when listening to Zhou Yong's words: "Brother Zhou, how many days will it take you to come back? I want to take my family out for a few days during the summer vacation..."
Over the years, Sun Qing has been working diligently at his job and rarely takes his wife and children out for fun.
Zhou Yong thought for a moment: "Just arrange your work and go on a trip. There is no need to wait for me to come back..."
Zhou Yong calculated the itinerary for this trip and found that it would take about 20 days at the earliest to return. It would be almost the end of August when he returned. How could Sun Qing take his children and wife out for a trip?
Sun Qing was delighted when he heard this: "Okay, I'll arrange some work for you later and take my family out in a few days..."
Zhou Yong smiled and nodded, then handed the signed account book to Sun Qing.
While the two were talking, Li Ming knocked on the open office door and walked in with a happy look on his face.
Sun Qing looked at the smile on Li Ming's face and couldn't help but tease him: "Did you pick up some money while walking?"
Li Ming laughed: "This makes me happier than finding money while walking. Several new varieties of vegetables planted in the experiment have blossomed and borne fruit..."
Nowadays, the variety of vegetables in the north is relatively incomplete, and many vegetables are transported from the south. In order to increase the income of the vegetable greenhouse base, Li Ming introduced a lot of vegetable seeds from the south.
Due to climatic reasons, the initial experimental vegetable planting ended in failure. Li Ming went to the agricultural station to learn how to grow different varieties of vegetables. After his continuous learning and repeated experiments, he finally succeeded.
The corners of Zhou Yong's mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly, and the smile in his eyes couldn't be hidden.
Sun Qing gave Li Ming a thumbs up and said, "You are really awesome."
Li Ming smiled and said, "Just wait and see. This year, the annual income of the vegetable greenhouse base will definitely double. I will designate the person who gets the most performance bonus..."
In order to encourage everyone to have a positive work attitude, Zhou Yong set up performance awards and year-end bonuses.
Sun Qing glanced at Li Ming, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching a few times. Then he said, "I didn't want to hit you, but you said too much. The vegetable greenhouse base you are responsible for won first place, so where does that put your construction company?"
The smile on Li Ming's face froze for a moment. No matter how much money the vegetable greenhouse base made, it was still not as much as the construction company. Therefore, since the establishment of performance awards and year-end bonuses, the construction company department received the highest bonus every year.
"Just shut up! If you don't speak, no one will think you're dumb!"
Sun Qing's words instantly made Li Ming feel cold inside.
Zhou Yong looked at the two of them with a smile. The two of them joked for a while, and then Sun Qing took the account book and left first.
Li Ming watched Sun Qing leave with a smile on his face, and his expression gradually became serious: "Village Chief, after my private verification, there is indeed a problem of false accounting in the area of automobile inspection and maintenance..."
Since the transport fleet was established, there was little maintenance and repair involved in the beginning because the vehicles were new.
As vehicles are constantly used, they suffer varying degrees of wear and tear, and they gradually require regular maintenance and inspection.
At the beginning, both maintenance and overhaul costs were not high, but over the past few months, both costs have increased to varying degrees, and the frequency of vehicle failures has also increased.
Just a few days ago, the transport team reported a vehicle inspection fee of 500 yuan for just an extremely ordinary maintenance. Sun Qing realized something was wrong at the time and immediately reported the matter to Zhou Yong.
Zhou Yong then asked Li Ming to go to the designated repair shop privately to investigate the matter. Surprisingly, he actually found the problem.
A maintenance list and an inspection list were handed to Zhou Yong. He took the list and read it carefully.
Li Ming said, "In addition to going to the designated repair shop, I also went to other repair shops to inquire about the price of maintenance and overhaul. I checked them one by one according to the list given by Sun Qing. The transportation team overstated the bill by nearly 6,000 yuan..."
Zhou Yong's eyes fell on Li Ming's face, making him lower his head in shame.
Zhou Yong had given full authority to Li Ming to select the transport vehicle. Now that this had happened, Li Ming felt deeply ashamed.
Zhou Yong put the list on his desk: "Tell me, what are you going to do next?"
Li Ming pursed his lips and raised his head slightly, his confidence somewhat lacking: "Deal with them strictly in accordance with the law to serve as a warning to others."
Zhou Yong stared at Li Ming for a few seconds: "If Sun Qing hadn't noticed something was wrong, how much money would the brigade have lost by the time you found out? This is a serious dereliction of duty on your part..."
The transport team is under the management of Li Ming. As the supervisor, he naturally has the unshirkable responsibility when something like this happens.
Li Ming pursed his lips and said, "Village Chief, I admit that I failed in my duty. I promise to supervise my subordinates well in the future..."
Zhou Yong narrowed his eyes slightly: "Li Ming, you and I have worked together for twenty years. You know my temper. I will not do anything extreme unless it is absolutely necessary. But the transportation team's affairs must be handled according to the formal procedures..."
Li Ming's heart skipped a beat: "Village Chief, can you give them another chance? After all, they are all related to each other. If we really send them in, the rest of their lives will be completely ruined..."
