Siheyuan: Picked up by a goddess in 48 years

The time soon reached noon.

Lu Zhenyuan had already dealt with the accumulated work, mainly some work reports, etc. He only needed to summarize, approve and sign.

The six departments each have their own responsibilities, yet they are closely linked to each other. It can be said that as long as these six departments do not collude with each other, there will basically be no mistakes in the things reported in the list, and he can sign boldly.

Of course, we cannot trust everything and we need to conduct spot checks occasionally, especially in warehouses.

It would also be a problem if the warehouse was perfunctory and submitted the wrong invoice, and he approved it.

Of course, he also found some unreasonable reports during his morning work, such as inflated prices, which were understandable, some of which were due to circumstances, and some of which he knew clearly.

But your offer is twice as high as the original price! I can't just ignore it.

In fact, if conditions permit, it is understandable that the prices of unplanned materials are a little inflated. After all, there is a fixed salary for completing the work of planned materials. If there is no extra benefit for working on unplanned materials, what's the point of doing it?

There are various unified purchasing standards for the procurement of unplanned materials, which is also the purchaser's bottom price. The purchaser purchases at a low price and submits it according to the standard price, and can earn the difference.

This is the default rule in the purchasing industry. After all, there is no profit to be made, so why would people go to such lengths? Just to crush their peers?

But there are several reports that the prices reported are twice as high as the standard purchase price! The wool has been taken from the inside!

If you artificially increase the price by 20%, 30%, or even 50% during a special period, it is acceptable. Although we know that you have made a profit from it, this is the situation. Special matters can be handled in special ways, and it is not impossible to approve it.

But it's twice as high. Either someone is trying to put on a fuss, or it's just his usual style.

Then the blame won't be put on him?

Lu Zhenyuan wrote down the owners of the notes and the responsible section chief, made suggestions for handling them, and put the notes together, planning to hand them over to Director Li in the afternoon for processing.

Not to mention that he is only a deputy section chief now, even if he is a section chief, he does not have the right to directly fire those under him, but he can submit a dismissal application and some handling suggestions.

It can be said that as long as the other party has no background or connections, once he passes the note to his superiors, they will basically do as he says.

After all, leaders are only responsible for decision-making, not handling cases.

These things didn't affect him, so when Lao Lei came to call him at dinner time, he didn't show any unusual expression.

"Chief Lu, I am really sorry for costing you a lot of money."

In the roast duck restaurant, Lao Lei offered tea and said politely.

Lu Zhenyuan glanced at him and said, "Old Lei, please stop being polite. As a section chief, your salary is no worse than mine, a deputy section chief. You get at least 62 yuan a month, right? And you can't even afford roast duck?"

Lao Lei laughed dryly.

"Hey, that's different. I'm used to being frugal. My whole family depends on my salary. To be honest, I've only eaten this a few times."

"Okay, let's eat." Lu Zhenyuan invited the two to start eating.

At this time, three roast ducks had been served, one for each person, attracting the attention of people at the surrounding tables.

It was the first time for them to see people eating roast duck in this way, and they really thought it was luxurious!

Lao Lei and Zheng Peixia had not expected that the section chief would be so generous as to treat each of them to a roast duck, but seeing that Lu Zhenyuan had already started eating, they did not say anything more and started eating too.

Lu Zhenyuan ate the roast duck and felt that the taste was just so-so. People say that the duck in Beijing is famous, but he felt that it was just so-so, a mere gimmick.

Of course, only he dared to say this.

In this era when there was not much oil and water, people had to choose the fattest meat when buying meat. So when this greasy roast duck came out, it was naturally praised to the sky.

Lu Zhenyuan ate the roast duck quietly, without any intention of communicating with the two.

This made Lao Lei and Zheng Peixia secretly glance at each other. Are they really going to be invited to dinner?

Halfway through the meal, Zheng Peixia couldn't help but ask, "Chief, do you have any instructions? If so, just tell us and we will definitely cooperate."

Lu Zhenyuan glanced at her and suddenly chuckled, "It's not working hours now, so I'll call you Sister Zheng in private, okay? Sister Zheng, you think too much, let's put it bluntly, you are the section chief and I am the section chief?"

"If I ask you to do something and I have to treat you to a meal, then wouldn't it be too frustrating for me to be the section chief?"

"And I believe that both of you are smart people. If there is anything, you will tell me. I like to make friends with smart people and hate self-righteous fools. If there is nothing wrong, you don't need to worry too much."

This is almost a showdown.

To translate it, it means: If you want to work with me, you'd better tell me if you have something to do. Don't wait for me to ask or find out. If there is really nothing to do, I won't make things difficult for you.

Lao Lei glanced at Zheng Peixia.

The other party shouldn't have asked this question before. This question was obviously telling Lu Zhenyuan that something was wrong.

As the saying goes, if you don’t do bad things, you won’t be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door.

It is not known whether Zheng Peixia has any ghosts or not, but she obviously knows something.

"Ahem...Xiao Zheng, if you have any questions, just tell Chief Lu. Our Chief Lu is a young talent and will definitely achieve something in the future."

This old fox.

Lu Zhenyuan glanced at Lao Lei, then at Zheng Peixia who looked hesitant, and sighed, "Sister Zheng, if you have something to say, just say it directly. If you don't, just eat duck. It makes the three of us here like spies meeting, testing each other."

A joke of some size broke the slightly heavy atmosphere.

Zheng Peixia also came back to her senses and apologized first, "I'm sorry, Chief Lu, I'm also in a dilemma as to whether or not to tell you, because I have no evidence for this matter, I just heard about it."

"Oh? Then Sister Zheng, just tell us. It's not working hours now, so let's just treat it as a casual chat. I'm not the kind of person who would get stuck in a rut. Just speak up and we'll just listen for fun."

Zheng Peixia nodded and said, "I heard that someone in our department seems to be dishonest and smuggled contraband when purchasing supplies. The former section chief also seems to have..."

"Cough cough."

Lu Zhenyuan looked at Lao Lei.

"Chief, my throat is uncomfortable. I'd like to have some tea." Lao Lei looked a little embarrassed.

But Zheng Peixia had already shut up.

Lu Zhenyuan suddenly chuckled, "Eat, continue eating, come on, Lao Lei, I'll give you this cup of tea too."

Looking at the teacup pushed in front of him, Lao Lei broke out in a sweat and felt a little regretful in his heart. He just wanted to remind Xiao Zheng that there are some things that cannot be said casually.

But they forgot that this sudden interruption might easily make the new leader suspicious.

The rest of the meal was somewhat silent.

Seeing that the two were a little absent-minded, Lu Zhenyuan threw away the bone he had just gnawed and said, "Don't think too much. Go back and do what you need to do. I don't want to care about what happened in the past, and I can't care. From now on, we will just watch with our eyes open."

He knew in his heart that what Zheng Peixia said was probably true, and Lao Lei's reaction was not false. After all, it was not uncommon for teams purchasing supplies to smuggle contraband.

And the former section chief may be involved, so this is probably true.

I just don't know how big a role the other party plays in it.

This matter should have nothing to do with Lao Lei and Zheng Peixia, at least not with Zheng Peixia. After all, the Sixth Department where she works is responsible for market research, price analysis and formulation of procurement strategies.

It has the fewest people among the six groups, but also the most girls.

Lao Lei was in charge of quality inspection. Logically, he and Zheng Peixia should have known about the smuggling first, but even Zheng Peixia knew about it, which showed that he had made quite a mess.

Damn, this is such a hassle.

This kind of thing is easy to deal with. You can either turn a blind eye to it as long as it does not interfere with the main business. But if this kind of thing is exposed, he will also be jointly responsible and will definitely be held accountable for poor supervision.

Damn it, if a few section chiefs pull a few people to do it it would be fine, but if a few section chiefs pull a group of people to do it, that would be a big deal.

However, the former is more likely.

After all, the more people there are, the more profits there are. It should be that a few section chiefs have formed a small group to do this business. Others know something about it more or less, but no one has exposed it. Or someone reported it, but it was suppressed by the former section chief.

This reminded him to go back in the afternoon to check whether anyone had been fired or died under any pretext.
