Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 1721 Catching Thieves and Stolen Things
砰

Yang Xiaotao pounded his fist on the table, a look of helplessness on his face.

At this moment, Xiaowei suddenly popped her head out from the table.

"Master, do you need any service?"

When Lou Xiao'e's voice came, Yang Xiaotao's face fell, "Go away, stop talking nonsense!"

"whee…"

"Master, don't be angry, Xiaowei is very cute!"

"How about Xiaowei turn you into wood!"

After saying that, Xiaowei floated out of the table and clapped her hands. The table top of Yang Xiaotao's desk suddenly became as soft as mud.

Then a three-dimensional wooden bicycle popped out from the plane, and then two little people appeared on it, which turned into a small house, and then a puppy...

It's just like watching a pantomime in a movie, except that it's not on a flat surface, but rather like wearing 3D glasses and seeing it in three dimensions.

The pictures on the table moved faster and faster, and Yang Xiaotao became more and more interested. There were so many things, as long as Xiaowei could think of it, there was nothing she couldn't make happen.

Moreover, the characters she transformed were lifelike, and even the small words on the enamel jar were clearly visible, which showed that Xiaowei's ability had improved a lot!

"Master, Xiaowei is amazing!"

"awesome!"

Yang Xiaotao put his hands on his chin and his mood became much more optimistic.

"From now on, don't imitate other people's speech, understand?"

Xiaowei stuck out her tongue after hearing this, then slipped back into the table.

The next second, Lou Xiao'e walked in with a lunch box, her face full of suspicion, her eyes moving around the room.

"Is there no one in the room? Why did I hear Xiaoxue's voice?"

He muttered to himself, then saw Yang Xiaotao still looking down at the table. He shook his head helplessly and walked forward to put down the lunch box.

However, the next second, Yang Xiaotao stood up suddenly.

"Go and see if Guo Liang is here?"

"what?"

"Go quickly. If he comes, ask him to bring the official seal!"

"Oh!"

Lou Xiao'e ran out quickly without even closing the door!
After Lou Xiao'e left, Yang Xiaotao immediately picked up the book and placed it in front of the table, calling softly, "Xiaowei, let me see the last wooden seal!"

Xiao Wei emerged from the table, tilted her head, thought for a moment and raised a piece of wood on the table. Yang Xiaotao shook his head, "It's not this."

Xiao Wei changed another one. Yang Xiaotao looked at it and shook his head, "I want the one with words on it!"

Xiaowei thought of something, and after a moment a wooden seal rose from the table.

"Yes, that's it!"

Yang Xiaotao's eyes focused. The outline of Xiaowei was very clear, and it had the special seal of the Planning Department.

"Where did you see this?"

Yang Xiaotao pointed to the wooden seal on the table. Xiaowei pouted and replied, "I saw it in that person's room."

Yang Xiaotao understood instantly!
At this time, Guo Liang and Lou Xiao'e walked in, busy with a wooden box in their hands.

"Mr. Yang!"

Guo Liang came in, but Yang Xiaotao gestured to close the door!

Lou Xiao'e walked behind and quickly closed the door, and the two of them came closer.

"Let me see the official seal!"

On the way here, Guo Liang asked Lou Xiaoe what was going on, but Lou Xiaoe said nothing.

I just asked him to take the official seal with him, but I felt very nervous and uneasy.

After entering the office, he looked at the information in front of Yang Xiaotao, which were all found and sent by him, and he had some ideas in his mind.

But this idea was a little hard for him to accept.

Yang Xiaotao took the official seal and pressed it on a blank paper with ink.

Then pick it up and compare it with the ticket next to it.

"Boss Yang, what's going on?"

Seeing Yang Xiaotao like this, Guo Liang still asked about his inner doubts.

"When I checked the accounts earlier, I found that the numbers on some of the invoices did not match those on the alloys."

Yang Xiaotao said this simply and Guo Liang's heart skipped a beat.

If any problems arise, he as the director cannot escape responsibility.

At the moment, I am still hoping that Yang Xiaotao is mistaken.

"Boss Yang, wait a moment!"

Seeing Yang Xiaotao holding the seal for comparison, Guo Liang quickly spoke.

Yang Xiaotao looked up, and Guo Liang immediately explained, "This seal is new. It was just replaced not long ago this month!"

"Changed? Why?"

"Well, one of our colleagues took the official seal with him when he was out doing business, and accidentally broke a corner of it, so we applied for a new seal. We just got the new seal from the administration a few days ago!"

After Guo Liang finished his explanation, Yang Xiaotao was speechless.

However, Yang Xiaotao quickly realized that Wang Zhuo made one right after the official seal was replaced with a new one, so it must be updating!

Thinking of this, Yang Xiaotao asked, "When did it break? When did you start replacing it?"

"The one that broke on the 9th of this month, we'll use a new official seal on the 18th."

"Does everyone know?"

"I don't know. There's no need to publicize this kind of thing. Just take it and use it."

"Who do you think might know?"

Guo Liang thought for a while and said, "The comrade who damaged the official seal earlier knows it, and the people who used the official seal while it was damaged also know it."

"During that period, because there was a small gap on the official seal, everyone who used it would ask about it."

After Guo Liang finished speaking, he came over, took a look and picked out a receipt, pointing to a mark of the seal. Yang Xiaotao took a look and found that there was indeed a piece missing.

"Find all the documents after the 9th."

Lou Xiao'e immediately turned around to look for the receipt.

If Guo Liang

After a while, the three of them sat down and began to check the documents on the table.

"found it!"

Lou Xiao'e shouted, and the two of them came over immediately.

"Boss Yang, Director Guo, look."

"The receipt on this one is number 10, but the stamp on number 10 is broken, but the one above is still good."

Guo Liang took it immediately. The seal on it was indeed the same as what Lou Xiao'e said. Then his face suddenly turned pale. He knew that there was a rat in the Planning Department.

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Although the weather was hot and humid, he felt cold all over.

You can guard against thieves day and night, but it’s hard to guard against thieves in your own home.

What’s more important is that no one knows how long this huge rat has existed.

Yang Xiaotao glanced at the data sheet and continued to search. Seeing this, Guo Liang immediately took the sheet he had found and compared it with the previous seal. The more he looked at it, the more shocked he became. After several comparisons, they were almost exactly the same.

The three of them then searched carefully and found obvious problems with three more lists.

Yang Xiaotao looked at the handwriting on the three lists and judged that they were from the same person, but there were still some differences from the original owner's handwriting.

"Although it is signed by Wang Li, judging from the notes, it should be an imitation, especially the hooks on the feet, which have obvious traces of imitation. As a result, the deliberate imitation makes it different."

The two looked at the mistakes pointed out by Yang Xiaotao and nodded.

"Can you tell whose handwriting this is?"

Guo Liang shook his head after hearing this, "I can't tell."

"Then is there anyone in your planning department who likes to imitate calligraphy?"

"No. I haven't heard of it."

Guo Liang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and felt extremely panicked.

"Boss Yang, remove these three data sheets, and the data on both sides will roughly match up."

Lou Xiao'e reorganized the information and told Yang Xiaotao the results, and Yang Xiaotao nodded.

"Boss Yang, what's the point of doing this?"

"If there are two more orders, our machinery factory will not produce more materials, nor will we make any profit from it. What's the point of this?"

Guo Liang was a little confused.

Could it be that the seal, which was made with great effort, was made just to mix two fake bills?

If this were not the case, given the management situation of the machinery factory, could they have taken advantage of it?
Yang Xiaotao stood up and walked to the window, already understanding Wang Zhuo's behavior.

Hearing Guo Liang's doubts, he explained, "Sometimes, benefits don't have to be visible, and they don't necessarily have to be money."

"Honor and status are more valuable than visible money."

Guo Liang pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked up.

"Boss Yang, are you saying that they are, framed?"

"Then this must have been done by the supervision team!"

Guo Liang followed Yang Xiaotao's line of thought and immediately came to the above conclusion.

Yang Xiaotao looked out the window and nodded slightly.

Lou Xiao'e was surprised but remained silent.

In the past, when her father told her about those intrigues, she didn't take it seriously, thinking that in the new era, everyone is striving for progress and those private and dirty things will not happen here.

But later, the arrival of Wang Fuhan and Qiu Yuan made her realize that it wasn’t that those despicable people were gone, but that they had become better at packaging.

And now, things are right in front of us.

"Mr. Yang!"

Guo Liang took a step forward, feeling nervous. What if the other party attacked right now? They would be completely unprepared.

"Should we start now?"

Yang Xiaotao was still looking out the window, his hands clasped across his chest, silent.

The two looked at each other and waited quietly.

"No hurry, no hurry!"

After a long time, Yang Xiaotao finally responded, and they both looked up at the same time.

Yang Xiaotao turned around and looked at the two people, then pointed at the materials on the table, "I will have someone monitor them. If they make any moves, we must take the initiative."

"You two should sort out these materials as soon as possible, just in case."

"If we find this kind of situation again during this period, we will catch the thief and seize the stolen goods."

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, the two looked at each other and nodded immediately.

"Don't make this matter public or expose it."

"Especially you, Director Guo, you must control your emotions. The person we are facing is a veteran. Otherwise, how could he do such a delicate thing?"

Guo Liang nodded immediately, "Don't worry, I promise it will be the same as usual."

Yang Xiaotao then explained the next arrangements and Guo Liang left the office.

Lou Xiao'e continued to organize the materials, while Yang Xiaotao took the lunch box and left the office.

Yang Xiaotao knocked on Liu Huaimin's office door and walked in.

In the following days, Yang Xiaotao developed aircraft engines in the workshop and would personally take part when needed.

Since the material problem was solved, the entire aircraft engine R&D team has been moving forward step by step as if it were wound up.

And it's getting faster and faster.

Things are moving along steadily with the engine.

On the other hand, there were new developments on the supervision team's side.

At the end of April, with Labor Day approaching, the factory was filled with various slogans and banners.

Because there were no earthquakes during this period, everyone was able to relax from their tense moods and gradually return to their previous state in work and life.

The morale-boosting slogans, passionate slogans, and songs on the radio all encouraged the workers to join the wave of revolutionary construction.

It was in such an environment that Guo Liang came to Yang Xiaotao's office and told him the requirements of the supervision team.

"Are they going to the first branch?"

Yang Xiaotao put down his pen and frowned when he heard this.

"Yes, Wang Zhuo said it himself."

"They produce tractors over there, I want to go and see what's going on there."

Yang Xiaotao stood up with a suspicious look on his face.

"What's the situation if we go and see it now?"

“Maybe it’s normal behavior.”

Guo Liang couldn't think of any other reason, and over the past few days, the other party had been under his nose when he was in the planning department, and had not behaved abnormally.

"Let him go."

"No matter what his plan is, we have to make him reveal his true colors so that we can kill him with one blow."

Thinking of Xiaowei's investigation at night, Yang Xiaotao was not afraid that the other party would do anything weird.

The worst that can happen is to overturn the table. Anyway, you know the other party's handle well.

Can the words of a fake person be trusted?

"Okay, I'll approve it later."

When Guo Liang heard what Yang Xiaotao said, he immediately nodded and prepared to leave.

"Wait a moment."

Yang Xiaotao called Guo Liang, then came up to him and whispered, "We will conduct an inventory at the end of this month."

"Spread the news and let him know."

Guo Liang's eyes widened, and it took him a long time to react, "Boss Yang, are you trying to lure the snake out of its hole?"

"Well, this matter can't be delayed any longer. It's better to solve it as soon as possible."

"Understood, I know what to do."

After saying that, Guo Liang prepared to go out.
