Xiaoyu immediately said, "I'll go talk to the manager of the farmers' market later and ask them to move the garbage to another location."
It stinks even though the weather isn't hot yet. It will be terrible if it gets to summer.
Gu Xia covered her mouth and nose as she walked in. The clothing wholesale market was indeed doing very good business. There were all kinds of clothing wholesale stalls with a complete range of categories.
It was the smell of the garbage dump that could still be smelled all the way to Wei Yufeng's stall.
Gu Xia was not surprised to see Liang Su in the store.
This stall was bought by her and Wei Yufeng in cooperation, although she also had a share.
"Auntie Gu, why are you here?" Liang Su walked out with a look of surprise.
Gu Xia smiled and said, "I just happened to have some free time, so I came to take a look. I didn't know until I saw it, and it really shocked me. There was such smelly garbage piled up at the door, why didn't anyone report it?"
Wei Yufeng came out and complained, "Old Li hasn't complained. I don't know how many times we've submitted our complaint letters. The mailbox outside the manager's office is full, but the deputy manager is nowhere to be found all day and doesn't even read our complaints. He even charged us an extra five yuan for sanitation two days ago, but the sanitation hasn't improved at all."
Gu Xia's face was cold, "Health fee?"
"Yes, they said each stall needs to pay an extra five yuan." Liang Su had two stalls and paid an extra ten yuan.
The original sanitation fee was included in the management fee, which was three dollars per stall per month.
Now the sanitation fees alone are more than the management fees.
Gu Xia's face was gloomy. She had never heard of the sanitation fee.
"I understand what you've reported, Xiaoyu. Go call the police and get the deputy manager over too."
Wei Yufeng was surprised. Gu Xia looked weak, but unexpectedly he was so decisive and called the police as soon as he said so.
"Sister Gu, why don't you wait until you've asked questions before calling the police?"
Gu Xia waved her hand and said, "I don't have the patience to argue with them, just call the police."
It is a fact that the sanitation fee was collected without her knowledge, and it is also a fact that the sanitary conditions were not good.
So where did the money go? It was pocketed by someone.
When you ask them, they just make excuses.
It would be better to call the police directly and let the police investigate.
Soon, the deputy manager of the clothing wholesale market came over.
When Gu Xia saw it, he was surprised.
"Why are you here? Where is the former deputy manager Shen Pei?"
Zhu Mancang was also surprised that the manager who had never shown up was actually Gu Xia.
"Manager Gu, what a coincidence! I didn't expect it to be you."
Gu Xia felt disgusted and didn't want to play along with him, so she asked him to sit down.
Zhu Mancang smiled and asked, "I wonder why Manager Gu asked me to come here."
“What’s with the garbage at the market entrance?”
Zhu Mancang understood. "So that's what you're talking about. The farmers' market said they needed a place to dump their garbage. They offered us fifty yuan a month for the site fee, and I agreed."
He looked excited, as if he was trying to take credit from Gu Xia.
Gu Xia said coldly, "Tell them to move the garbage away today. I don't want to see any more garbage piles appearing near our clothing market. Even if it's our own garbage, someone must come and clean it up on time every day. It's not allowed to be piled up at the door."
Zhu Mancang's face froze. "But it's only fifty yuan a month."
Gu Xia leaned back in her chair and looked at him expressionlessly.
"Whose pocket did this fifty dollars go into?"
Zhu Mancang's smile disappeared. It seemed that Gu Xia was not easy to fool.
Before leaving, Shen Pei told him that the manager was a woman and was easy to fool.
Now, on our first meeting, she started to settle accounts.
"I remember where the money went. It's in the account."
Gu Xia asked again: "Did you also keep a record of the extra five yuan sanitation fee collected from each stall?"
Zhu Mancang was sweating profusely. Gu Xia looked very gentle, but when she asked questions, people felt oppressed.
"Yes, it's all in the account book."
Gu Xia laughed, "That's perfect. When the police come, we can ask them to verify the whereabouts of the money."
Zhu Mancang stood up immediately. "Public security? Manager Gu, we can discuss our internal affairs peacefully. Why would we need to alert the police?"
"Talk nicely? I'll give you some time to fool me. Deputy Manager Zhu, I don't like getting involved in these trivial matters. If I hadn't invested in this clothing market, I wouldn't have come here to see it. I prefer a direct approach to haggling with you."
Zhu Mancang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "But, but I have recorded all the accounts, and you haven't even looked at the account book..."
"I don't need to look at the ledgers, I just need to observe this market with my own eyes. The stalls pay a monthly management fee. There are 216 stalls selling or renting clothing in the entire market, totaling 648 yuan. On top of that, there's the 30 yuan monthly rental for advertising space. After deducting your salary and the salary of your assistant, and you don't hire security to maintain order and look after your property, or to clean up, what's left?"
Gu Xia had a list of accounts in his mind and didn't need to look at Zhu Mancang's account book at all.
"You don't know how to spend this much money, and you still want to charge an extra five yuan for sanitation fees. Whose pocket is this money going to?"
Zhu Mancang hesitated, "We hired the finance department and a security guard. The finance department does the accounting. I didn't ask about it, so I don't know where the money was spent."
Gu Xia chuckled, "If you don't know, then let the police come and find out."
Soon, Xiaoyu came with the police.
One of them was from Dongying. When Wei Yufeng saw him, she was surprised and asked him when he was transferred here.
Dongying gestured to her and told her to talk to her after he finished his work.
Zhu Mancang was so scared when he saw the uniformed men coming in that his legs went weak.
If he hadn't been sitting, he would have fallen to the ground.
"Manager Gu, we can talk it over. There's no need to be like this!"
Gu Xia's expression was cold. "I called the police here so that I could have a good talk with you."
Zhu Mancang originally thought that they would use courtesy first and then force, but he didn't expect that Gu Xia had no intention of talking to him at all and directly asked someone to call the police.
Dongying interrogated them and checked the accounts, which made Zhu Mancang and others sweat profusely.
Seeing that he could no longer keep the secret, Zhu Mancang had no choice but to push all the responsibility onto others.
The accountant and security guard he hired were his two brothers-in-law, so he let his brothers-in-law take the blame.
Finally, Dongying asked someone to take his statement and let him go.
But it was different for his two brothers-in-law. They were taken away directly by the police.
If Gu Xia doesn't confess, the charge of corruption will be enough to get them into trouble.
"Xiaoyu, return the extra sanitation fees, have someone clean up the garbage, and invite reliable security and cleaning staff. Now that we have a clothing market, we have to do it well."
Xiaoyu put down the teacup in her hand.
"It's been disinfected with hot water. Have a cup of tea first. I'll take care of this matter. Zhu Mancang should also be fired. I'll find someone more reliable later."
Gu Xia said, "Let Comrade Wei Yufeng be the agent. She also sells clothes here, and only she will consider the interests of the merchants."
Xiaoyu responded: "Okay."
