Chapter 1560 Insightful Eye
Zhang Xiaoshuai was also a little confused about whose car Zhuo Minglan got into. Li Ye ultimately didn't pry, after all, he was just a nobody, it was just a small fry, and there was no need to waste too much energy.
However, Li Ye didn't want to waste his energy, while Zhuo Minglan had plenty of it.
The morning after Zhuo Minglan was transferred, Li Ye "coincidentally" entered the office building with her as he was going to work, and she even took the initiative to greet him.
"Director Li, what a coincidence! I've heard many stories about you when I was working at the branch factory. Now that I'm working here, I'll definitely have to learn a lot from you."
Li Ye glanced at Zhuo Minglan and saw her upturned eyebrows and smug look.
That look clearly said, "I have connections, what can you do about it?"
True, just two days ago he was ordered to stop working, and today he was promoted to Shang Bin's side, supposedly to "provide Shang Bin with professional advice in order to supervise the financial order of the entire group." Don't you think he should be proud of himself?
And look at his mentality. He just reported Li Ye for "embezzling public funds," and now he wants to learn from Li Ye. What are you going to learn? Embezzling public funds?
If Li Ye were also a recent college graduate, he would definitely have a heated argument with Zhuo Minglan, at least asking about the whistleblower letter.
However, given Li Ye's current age, level, and experience, he would no longer stoop to the level of a "child" like Zhuo Minglan. So he simply nodded at Zhuo Minglan and left without saying anything.
But Li Ye turned and left, which seemed to anger Zhuo Minglan. She quickly followed Li Ye and said loudly, "Director Li, I have something to discuss with you."
Li Ye stopped and interrupted, asking, "Please don't call me Factory Director Li, call me Deputy General Manager Li, because you are no longer with the First Branch Factory, so it's inappropriate for you to call me Factory Director Li."
“.”
Zhuo Minglan was stunned for a moment, and it took her several seconds to become angry.
Everyone at the First Factory called Li Ye "Factory Director Li," a term of endearment. However, Li Ye's words were a veiled criticism of Zhuo Minglan, implying that this time, instead of a "promotion," Zhuo Minglan was destined to leave the First Factory in disgrace.
"Director Li, what do you mean by that? I've dedicated a year of my youth to the First Branch Factory."
Zhuo Minglan relentlessly chased after Li Ye, but was stopped by Li Ye's driver, Qu Qingyou.
"Madam, if you have any work-related issues, you can discuss them with Deputy General Manager Li at his workplace during working hours."
Zhuo Minglan still had some reservations about Li Ye, but she was very arrogant towards Qu Qingyou. She immediately shouted, "Who do you think you are? What gives you the right to stop me?"
Qu Qingyou gave Zhuo Minglan a cold glance and said indifferently, "Please be mindful of your behavior and your manners."
"You dare talk to me about manners?"
Zhuo Minglan cursed disdainfully and was about to chase after Li Ye. Today, she had mustered up all her courage to argue with Li Ye. A female employee who had just joined the company was being targeted by the deputy general manager. No matter how she argued, it was Li Ye who "lacked tolerance".
However, Qu Qingyou blocked Zhuo Minglan's way, and no matter how Zhuo Minglan moved her feet, she couldn't get around him.
What are you doing?
Zhuo Minglan angrily pointed her finger at Qu Qingyou's nose, but two seconds later, she couldn't help but put her finger down.
Qu Qingyou was, after all, a man who had fought real battles with the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe on the southern battlefield. Although he was not good with words, his eyes were sharp and intimidating. When he got angry, even Zhuo Minglan, who was slow to react, could sense the danger.
Qu Qing didn't glance at Zhuo Minglan again before turning and following Li Ye in the distance.
"asshole."
Zhuo Minglan was annoyed, but she had no desire to chase after him.
This is why Li Ye assigned a driver to Li Juan; a driver can solve many troublesome things for you.
However, Zhuo Minglan did not accept this injustice in silence. That afternoon, she took it as an excuse to supervise and review the reimbursement issues of the drivers, especially to investigate the chaotic situation of using gasoline from official vehicles for private motorcycles.
This caused a lot of complaints from drivers, because how could these people possibly pay for their own fuel for their private motorcycles?
Then someone found out that it was Qu Qingyou who offended the newcomer Zhuo Minglan, which caused trouble for everyone.
Who could stand this?
"Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. My brother-in-law and sister-in-law's motorcycles are still waiting for my gasoline! We can't let them ruin our plans; we have to push him out to take the blame."
"This is troublesome! That guy surnamed Qu is a stubborn fool. His eight-cylinder Mercedes-Benz has lower fuel consumption than my four-cylinder Santana. How can we make him take the blame?"
"Hey, you've got it all backwards. Zhuo Minglan is looking for faults in people; she'll turn a blind eye to high or low fuel consumption."
A group of drivers immediately identified the problem and quickly provided Zhuo Minglan with what she needed—a gas station receipt signed by Jiang Shiqi.
When Qu Qingyou and Jiang Shiqi came together to "protect" Li Ye, Qu Qingyou was assigned the position of driver, while Jiang Shiqi was assigned the position of office clerk.
Both of them can drive, and sometimes when Qu Qing has something to do at home, Jiang Shiqi will drive to fill up the gas tank, which is perfectly normal.
But this perfectly normal thing pulled Jiang Shiqi aside to "explain the situation" and gave him a long lecture.
Upon receiving the news, Li Ye rushed over in a rage. As soon as he entered, he saw Zhuo Minglan and another group's discipline personnel sitting side by side in front of him, interrogating Jiang Shiqi as if he were a criminal.
Upon seeing Li Ye enter, the discipline officer quickly stood up, bowing and scraping, and said, "Deputy General Manager Li, it's just a small matter; you didn't need to come in person."
Li Ye said with a forced smile, "I had to come and take a look! Look at the way it's all done, like the police interrogating a criminal, so formal! It seems this case is quite big, how much money is involved? Is it eighteen million?"
The discipline officer's cheek twitched, and he dared not speak.
Just a few days ago, Shang Bin lost a lot of face because of that 18 million yuan incident. Now that Li Ye is saying these things, isn't that just slapping him in the face?
However, Zhuo Minglan stood up and said calmly, "President Li, you may have misunderstood. Recently, the fuel consumption of our group's vehicles has been a bit high, differing from the manufacturer's published fuel consumption by about ten thousand yuan per month."
So Secretary Shang asked us to investigate. Bringing Comrade Jiang over was just to get information, and we didn't just talk to Comrade Jiang; all the other drivers had to go through the motions too.
Furthermore, we've investigated; although Jiang Shiqi violated some rules, it's not a serious matter—he just needs to write a self-criticism.
"Write a self-criticism? Did he drink the gasoline? Or did he put it in his motorcycle?"
Li Ye was so angry he laughed.
Don't be fooled by Zhuo Minglan's seemingly nonchalant tone; this is definitely a trap.
[This woman, so young, has such a vicious heart; Shang Bin truly has a discerning eye!]
