The successful transfer of the backlog of sails quietly changed Lu Qingyang's position in the Comprehensive Planning Section.
Zhao Weiguo obviously began to rely on him, and some tasks that required meticulousness began to be assigned directly to him, and he even occasionally sought his opinion on certain issues.
Wang Xiumei was even more polite and respectful, and was willing to cooperate with any requests for information.
However, Zhang Jianjun always looked at Lu Qingyang's back meaningfully.
That day, Zhao Weiguo called Lu Qingyang over and handed him a document:
"Xiao Lu, the city has just issued a new supplementary notice on the 'practicing strict economy and tapping potential' campaign, requiring our department to take the lead in conducting a thorough investigation of the raw material consumption quotas of the city's major factories, with a focus on identifying wasteful links.
This job is rather tedious and requires meticulousness and patience. You take the lead and Jianjun and Xiumei will cooperate with you."
"Okay, Chief Zhao." Lu Qingyang took the package.
This important work, if done well, will really help us understand the situation and identify problems.
The first step is to compile a list of the city’s key factories and a catalog of their main consumable materials.
He remembered that Zhang Jianjun had a relatively complete summary of the factory's basic archives.
"Comrade Jianjun." Lu Qingyang walked to Zhang Jianjun's desk.
"The quota verification work arranged by Section Chief Zhao requires a list of the city's key factories and a catalog of major consumable materials as a basis. I remember you compiled a summary table before. If it's convenient, can you lend it to me for reference?"
Zhang Jianjun raised his head and forced a professional smile on his face: "Oh, Deputy Section Chief Lu, is there a summary sheet? Yes, yes, yes."
He opened the drawer, rummaged around, and took out a bound document and handed it to Lu Qingyang, "Here, this is the one that was updated the most. It should be pretty complete."
"Thank you." Lu Qingyang took the document, returned to his seat and began to read it.
The document is indeed very thick and seems to contain a lot of information.
But after Lu Qingyang flipped through it, he roughly knew what the problem was.
Zhang Jianjun deliberately modified several key party data.
Seeing that the other party was still secretly sizing him up, he knew that this person was trying to trip him up on purpose.
Zhang Jianjun followed him from the corner of his eye. Seeing his "unwilling" look, he sneered inwardly:
Pretend! Keep pretending! Wait until you make a fool of yourself in front of Section Chief Zhao, and then we’ll see how you can still pretend!
He did not go directly to the original report as he did last time, nor did he immediately point out the problem with the case.
He picked up a pencil and carefully drew a small question mark next to several key items that Zhang Jianjun had deliberately omitted or blurred on the document.
After doing all this, Lu Qingyang closed the file, stood up, and walked towards Zhang Jianjun again.
When Zhang Jianjun saw him coming, he immediately put down the jar, sat up straight, and tried to keep calm on his face: "Deputy Section Chief Lu, have you finished reading it? Do you have any questions?"
"I've read your summary sheet. Most of it is well organized. Thank you for your hard work."
Zhang Jianjun raised his head and felt a jolt in his throat. There was something wrong with Lu Qingyang's posture.
He tried to remain calm and said, "Deputy Section Chief Lu, you are too polite. It's my duty. Any questions?"
"Well, the problem is," Lu Qingyang spread the documents on the empty table next to him, and pointed his fingers precisely at the three key locations. "There are a few small details, and the data doesn't seem to match the original records. I'm worried that it will affect the accuracy of the subsequent verification work, so I want to verify it with you in front of everyone."
"Verify and confirm?" Zhang Jianjun panicked, his voice a little tense, "What's wrong? But the version of the information I referenced..."
Lu Qingyang didn't even give him a chance to make excuses and directly pointed out the problem.
"The first one: the main consumption of materials in the textile factory." He pointed to the item.
"The list includes cotton, dyes, and electricity, but..." He paused and looked at Zhang Jianjun seriously.
"According to the second paragraph of the third page of the annual material consumption summary report submitted to the Municipal Bureau on December 31, 1977, it is clearly recorded that: 'The total steam coal consumption is 1,304.4 tons, accounting for the first place in the total consumption cost of the whole plant (about 35%).' This report is filed in the second cabinet of our department, the original document numbered 'May 1st Plant 77 Report'. Comrade Jianjun, why is this key consumption not included in the summary table? Did you omit it? Do you still think it is not a 'major' consumption?"
Lu Qingyang not only pointed out the problem, but also accurately reported the time, name, number, specific page number, paragraph and filing location of the original report!
This is like slapping the original report in Zhang Jianjun's face!
Zhang Jianjun's face turned pale, and his lips moved, but he couldn't utter a word.
"No..."
"If one is not a small mistake, what about the next few?"
Lu Qingyang pointed out several mistakes one by one.
The office was silent.
Wang Xiumei was stunned. She looked at Zhang Jianjun who was sweating profusely, and then at Lu Qingyang who had an imposing aura.
This is clearly the archives turned into a spirit! Its business capabilities are so terrifying!
Zhang Jianjun felt dizzy and his face was burning. He wished he could find a hole to crawl into.
At this moment, Zhao Weiguo's voice sounded at the door, with doubt: "What's wrong? So quiet?"
"Chief Zhao, glad to see you. I found that several key data in the basic summary table compiled by Comrade Jianjun were seriously inconsistent with the original archived documents. This may cause serious misleading in the direction of our subsequent 'strict economy' verification work. I think this summary table needs to be reworked and strictly checked against the original archives for revision."
Zhao Weiguo immediately understood what was going on.
"What's going on? How can you make such a low-level mistake in such an important job as sorting out basic data? Three more mistakes? How do you usually do your work? Immediately correct the problems pointed out by Deputy Section Chief Lu, compare them with the original document, and correct them word by word! Before leaving get off work today, I want to see an accurate version! If there are any more mistakes, you will be responsible for it!"
"놆...놆, Section Chief Zhao! I...I will change it right away! Right away!"
Zhang Jianjun's little trick did not succeed, and he was instead scolded badly.
He looked at Lu Qingyang with resentment.
I was thinking, isn't he just leaning against someone behind him?
No matter how arrogant he is, there is someone behind him.
He remembered that when he first joined the Material Bureau, he was assigned to the core department of the Comprehensive Planning Section. He relied on the relationship of a distant cousin who had some influence in the light industry system through various twists and turns in his family!
Although that cousin's position is not the highest, he has a lot of experience in the system and has a complex network of contacts. His power should not be underestimated!
Lu Qingyang, do you think you are the only one who can rely on connections? Lao 떚 can do it too! And Lao 떚’s connections may not be worse than yours!
He wanted to report Lu Qingyang to his cousin!
Take the new deputy section chief for example, who relies on his powerful background to look down on others.
He excluded and suppressed old comrades, had an overbearing work style, and even slandered and humiliated his colleagues in public in order to win credit, which seriously damaged the unity and working atmosphere of the department!
He wanted his cousin to find a way to either get rid of this annoying Lu Qingyang or teach him a lesson to let him know how deep the water in the Materials Bureau is.
