330 What do you mean by asking about other gay men?

The man shook his head, nodded, and stroked the back of his head and said, "Yes and no..."

Su Taotao: “…”

"What is it and what is not? If it is, it is, and if it is not, it is not. Do you know the consequences of slandering a leader?"

The man waved his hands anxiously: "I, I didn't slander the leader, I really gave the money! But it wasn't Secretary Zhao who received it, it was Secretary Zhao's lover who received it!"

Su Taotao: "Secretary Zhao's lover?"

The man nodded and said, "Yes, I swear to God I am not lying. She took 200 yuan deposit from me, not just me, but several of us, and said she could help us arrange workstations, and give us the remaining 600 yuan after the work is done. If it doesn't work out, she will return the 200 yuan to us!

I don’t know whether Secretary Zhao knows about this, so I say yes and no.”

Su Taotao was so angry that she laughed. Secretary Zhao's lover was also a talented person. This old-fashioned scam was considered a new type of scam in this era.

Anyway, it's an open recruitment, so you don't need to find any connections. If you meet the requirements and are hired, I'll say that I found the connection for you and charge you 800 yuan for the job.

If she is not accepted, she can just return the deposit. She gets nothing for nothing and does not lose anything.

Is Secretary Zhao’s lover crazy about money?

"I'm telling you one last time, no one can get in through my back door. You don't meet the recruitment requirements, so you can't buy a workstation even for 8,000, let alone 800.

Go find Secretary Zhao's wife and ask for the money back. I will tell Secretary Zhao about this. He is a good secretary who serves the people. Don't spread the news. He will handle it."

After hearing Su Taotao's words, the man felt much more at ease.

"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Director Su. Director Su, I am just desperate and trying all sorts of methods. I am not trying to take shortcuts. My sister has already moved to the countryside, and my brother will soon be moving to the countryside. My father is still young, and he would not have a job even if the job was given to me.

We have a lot of people in my family, and I managed to get these 800 yuan by borrowing from here and there without telling anyone at home. I really need this job, so..."

Su Taotao raised her hand to interrupt him: "I will pretend that this never happened. Anyway, I don't know your name, so just participate in the recruitment as usual.

I still say the same thing, we will select the best candidates who meet the requirements, and if you don’t meet the requirements, even the gods can’t help you.”

These days, workstations are stable jobs and hard currency; buying and selling workstations and inheriting workstations are not new things, but they are all private transfers by employees.

Large state-owned factories like this one openly recruit positions and absolutely do not allow the leadership team to buy and sell positions privately.

To put it more seriously, this is a criminal act of corruption, abuse of power, enriching oneself, and undermining the foundation of socialism.

The man breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to Su Taotao: "Thank you, Director Su, thank you, I will definitely perform well and strive to become an employee of your factory!"

After the man finished speaking, he bowed twice more to Su Taotao before turning around and leaving.

Su Taotao, who was bowed to three times, said: "..."

She thought about it and felt that Secretary Zhao was a man who valued his reputation and had his own agenda, but he was also a good leader who worked for the country and the people.

Even if you want to do something, you shouldn't be so stupid as to do it so blatantly.

So Su Taotao preferred that he didn't know.

Soon, Zhang Jing'an and Secretary Zhao, with a beaming look on his face, also walked over here.

Su Taotao stepped forward and said, "Secretary Zhao, can you please spare me a moment to talk?"

Secretary Zhao looked at Zhang Jingan.

Zhang Jing'an made a "please" gesture.

Su Taotao found a rather secret place and went straight to the point: "Secretary Zhao, there is a fire in your backyard, did you know?"

Secretary Zhao looked at Su Taotao in astonishment: "Director Su, what do you mean by that?"

Su Taotao said: "Someone just found me and said that it was your lover who sold the workstations and took deposits from several people. You should go back and investigate carefully."

Secretary Zhao moved his lips and wanted to open his mouth to refute, but finally he clenched his fists, not knowing where to start.

Finally, he laughed at himself and said, "I have been honest all my life and have never done anything to let down my country and people. Unexpectedly, I married a family member who is a hindrance. This is not the first time. I warned you many times before, but you didn't expect it... I will go back and check and give you an explanation."

Su Taotao didn't expect Secretary Zhao to say these to her. This was quite a family disgrace.

Most people wouldn't spread the news, but since Secretary Zhao didn't treat her as an outsider, she said a few more words:

"This matter has not fermented, and it has not even happened yet. According to that person, your wife is very smart. She only collected deposits from others and planned to return the money to those who were not accepted."

The more Secretary Zhao listened, the uglier his expression became.

This Li Guizhi is simply crazy and obsessed with money. How is this different from fraud?

"Of course, this is just one-sided statement from that person. You need to verify the specific facts yourself."

Secretary Zhao knew exactly who Li Guizhi was. He didn't even need to check the matter because it was probably true.

Su Taotao: "Secretary Zhao, you don't need to give me an explanation. Just handle the matter properly, don't let it ferment, and minimize the impact. That's the best explanation."

Secretary Zhao is a smart man, and Su Taotao thinks he knows how to handle it.

Secretary Zhao nodded and said, "Thank you, Director Su. I know what to do."

…

After Secretary Zhao left, Su Taotao was the only one left in the quiet alley.

She raised her head, covered her eyes and eyebrows with her hands, and looked at the cloudless blue sky through her fingers.

This is a southern city with almost no winter. It has the longest sunshine hours in the country and you can see blue skies and white clouds almost every day.

But even in such a bright place, there are always some dark ghosts and monsters that jump out from time to time to annoy those who were originally bright and upright.

It may even become a stain that those upright people can never erase in their lifetime.

Su Taotao sincerely hopes that Secretary Zhao can handle this matter well and not affect his career which should be on the rise.

"Is everything done?"

Zhang Jing'an suddenly appeared and scared Su Taotao.

"Secretary Zhang, there's no cure for being scary. Can you please stop being so elusive?"

Zhang Jingan suddenly smiled at Su Taotao, whose beautiful eyes were wide open, less charming and more playful.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop. I just happened to be smoking in that corner and couldn't go in or out."

Su Taotao laughed sarcastically: "Did we force you to listen?"

Zhang Jingan looked at Su Taotao quietly, his smile becoming more gentle: "Director Su seems to be very hostile to me. Is there something I did wrong?"

Su Taotao looked at him and said, "Secretary Zhang, shouldn't I be asking you this? You've been mentioning Xu Jiadong since you showed up, and you gave my contact information to someone else without my consent. Have you ever respected me?"

Zhang Jingan: "Sorry."

I never knew she was so sharp-tongued.

"We don't have much of a relationship, not even old acquaintances. In the future, we'd better avoid any contact outside of work. Excuse me."

After Su Taotao finished speaking, she walked away with big strides.

Zhang Jing'an looked at her back in surprise, and suddenly smiled.

This decisive character is really admirable.

"Director Su, Su Taotao, here, here..."

Su Taotao looked over in the direction of the sound: "..." This road is really busy, Zhou Weining appeared out of nowhere.

Zhou Weining ran over with small steps and said with a smile: "My family agrees to my job change, and I have submitted the application form."

Su Taotao nodded: "Very good."

Zhou Weining pointed his finger at Su Taotao, looking at her with a bit of embarrassment and expectation:

"The new secretary in our factory is so handsome. He seems to be very familiar with you. Where is he from? What is he like?"

Su Taotao's heart skipped a beat, and she looked warily at this young lady who never acted according to the rules and always had something wrong in her head.

"Why are you, a grown woman, asking about other gay people's private affairs?" This is our factory, and you haven't even started your transfer yet. Can you please wake up?

Zhou Weining shook his head: "He saved me before, and I didn't have the chance to thank him, so so..."

"Don't ask me about him. I'm not familiar with him." Su Taotao interrupted her, "But he's only been here for a few days, and he saved you? You must have recognized the wrong person."

That smiling tiger doesn't look like someone who can save people at all.

"Regarding what happened a few days ago, Director Su, can you please thank him for me? I..."

"No, I'm really not familiar with him," Su Taotao interrupted her again, but couldn't help asking, "Aren't you and Mo Jiazhe good friends? What do you mean by asking about other gay men?"

Zhou Weining looked like he was struck by lightning. He stared at Su Taotao in amazement. When he came to his senses, he almost jumped up:

"Who told you that I was dating that idiot? Did he say that himself?!"
