Chapter 187: The choice between the raincoat and treason

"What did Gong Hyomu say?" Kim Tae-mu's face became more and more ugly.

"He said..."Chen Gu had no choice but to say half of what he heard, and he felt that it was a big mistake not to report it to his boss.

"Why don't you report to me?" asked Kim Taiwu in a cold voice.

"Deputy Director Kim, I was wrong, I should have reported it to you. I think that Miyaya Takaki is a crazy person, because no one of the water agency personnel would say that kind of thing, so I didn't report it to you. I called the Liuyun Provincial Water Authority and asked them to severely punish Gong Xiaomu. Chen Gu's voice was full of tears, he was really afraid of Jin Taigu's anger.

"Play the piano randomly. After dropping these three words, Jin Taiwu turned around and walked out of the office. He had to go to the telecommunications department in person to receive the bill for the banquet from the Liuyun Provincial Water Authority, because he remembered some memorable details of the banquet, and whether these details were reflected in the bill?

After receiving the telegram bill, Mrs. Kim was surprised to see the vibrating thing listed on the bill. He remembered not using it at the time, he didn't like to wear it, and he thought that wearing it was like taking a shower in a raincoat.

Because he didn't wear something like a raincoat, the girl Hu Qiuyuan was looking for was unwilling, so he paid 50,000 zheyuan in cash to settle the girl, and this money was not paid by Hu Qiuyuan. Jin Taiwu was sure that the bill did not show the special tip of 50,000 Zheyuan, and it should have gone into the girl's pocket alone.

"It must be this vibrating raincoat-like thing used by that kid Hu Qiuyuan, he is Nai, this old boy Hu Qiuyuan. The older a person gets, the more tricks there are. You're shaking comfortably. But let me wipe your stomach for you, a dead ghost. Jin Taiwu scolded Hu Qiuyuan in his heart.

He recalled the banquet three months ago: Hu Qiuyuan had a banquet for Jin Taiwu alone, and the two of them were excited to drink. So two rooms were opened, and Hu Qiuyuan found two girls, one for each of them.

The charges shown on the bill are the cost of two rooms, two service charges, and the cost of the purchase, but the bill does not show which room was purchased.

Jin Taiwu scolded the hotel's management level for being too poor, why didn't the hotel specify which room the items were purchased? Looking at the bill carefully, Jin Taiwu felt bitter, the bill showed that two rooms had been opened in the name of Hu Qiuyuan, and Jin Taiwu's name did not appear on the bill at all.

However, when Hu Qiuyuan took the bill to the Dongshan City Water Agency for reimbursement, the person listed for the banquet clearly indicated that it was Jin Taiwu.

Now Hu Qiuyuan has been dead for many days. No one else can defend him, because it is impossible for the little girl who has lost her soul to testify, and everything on this bill may be counted on Kim Taiwu.

Suddenly, Mrs. Kim's head was as big as an ox: if it weren't for this abominable vibrating raincoat-like thing, he could have paid the bill and eat and drink at his own expense, but with this damn thing, once he paid for it, it meant that he used it that night, but the reality was that he didn't use this vibrating raincoat-like thing, so paying meant that he was going to have a black pot on his back.

He then pondered: "If I don't pay. There is no need to carry the black pot, but are there any other consequences? Another key issue in this matter is that the person who invited the guest was Hu Qiuyuan, and Hu Qiuyuan was characterized as a traitor. If you don't pay, things will definitely make trouble. Others will surely look away. I don't dwell on the shaking, but I do dwell on the issue of treason, and I may be suspected of being a traitor. I opted for something like a raincoat that vibrates. Or choose the suspicion of treason?"

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and Jin Taiwu was extremely irritable. He couldn't help but think of the initiator of this matter: Gong Xiaomu.

He secretly scolded in his heart: Gong Xiaomu is vicious enough, dangling in front of me with the traitor's bill. He's really calculating. Knowing that I would face such an embarrassing choice, it was no wonder that he, a small deputy hall, dared to make a big phone call.

For Gong Xiaomu, Jin Taiwu has heard of it. The military of the Manguo Kingdom hated Gong Xiaomu to the core, and the high-level officials of the Zheguo Army and Navy also had a lot of complaints about Gong Xiaomu, but these military personnel tossed for a long time, and did not treat Gong Xiaomu well, but the military had a lot of losses, this is because Gong Xiaomu is the quasi-son-in-law of the Ning family.

Although the Ning family usually doesn't care much about the affairs of Zheguo's military, Ning Xianghai, an old man, is really angry, and the entire Zheguo will tremble. Therefore, even if many people want to swallow Gong Xiaomu alive, they do not dare to act on Gong Xiaomu unscrupulously, unless Gong Xiaomu has a loophole and makes a mistake.

It is rumored that the Hang family suffered a big loss at the hands of Gong Xiaomu two days ago. However, after investigation, it was the children of the Hang family who provoked Gong Xiaomu first, and Gong Xiaomu took the lead. Even if two excellent descendants died, the Hang family didn't even dare to let out a fart, so they were silent.

Mrs. Jin pondered: Our Jin family and the Ning family are well water and do not violate river water, there is no friendship, but there is no suspicion, this time Gong Xiaomu suddenly turned out this bill and pointed the finger at me, what is the intention? Could it be that the Ning family is not pleasing to look at our Jin family?

At this time, he didn't dare to think about moving Gong Xiaomu, even if he transferred Gong Xiaomu away now, it would be useless, because this bill was passed from the Dongshan City Water Organ to the Liuyun Provincial Water Organ, and then from the Liuyun Provincial Water Organ to the Zheguo Water Organ, and it was already impossible to cover it up. If Gong Xiaomu is transferred away or measures are taken against Gong Xiaomu, it is easy to become a joke that there is no silver three hundred taels here.

Jin Taiwu suddenly thought of the phone call from Gong Xiaomu before, according to Gong Xiaomu's level, it was impossible to talk to him directly, but Gong Xiaomu took the initiative to come to the door, what was Gong Xiaomu's intention in doing this?

Jin Taiwu was very disgusted by the secretary's behavior of not reporting and making decisions without authorization. But criticizing the secretary Chen Gu at this time could not solve any problems, and he was eager to know the real intention of Gong Xiaomu to turn out this bill and the attitude of the Ning family.

Of course, Kim Taiwu will not call Gong Xiaomu, Gong Xiaomu's official position is too small, and his status is not equal at all.

There is no equality between people in officialdom, and subordinates can call their superiors, but superiors generally do not call their subordinates. If the superior has something to do, go to the subordinate. Let the secretary inform the subordinates to come and meet the superiors in person, of course. Exceptions are made for emergencies.

Jin Taiwu thought about it and decided to talk to Ning Shoucheng on the phone first. Exploring the wind, he and Ning Shoucheng are at the same level, and they can talk directly.

"Hello, Director Ning, I'm Jin Taiwu of the Zheguo Water Agency. ”

"Hello, Deputy Director Kim. Ning Shoucheng's speech on the phone was very brief, and no official would boast about it in the face of the personnel of the water agency.

"The head of the Ning headquarters, the water authority of some cities in Liuyun Province. The work enthusiasm is high, and it has played a very good escort role for the development of the local area, and our Zheguo water agency is taking into account the inspection of the water agency of Liuyun Province, and it is indispensable to trouble you, the landlord, when the time comes. ”

"Thank you Vice President Jin for affirming our work in Liuyun Province, and welcome Vice President Jin to Liuyun Province to guide the work. Ning Shoucheng's words were full of official articles, and they didn't seem to have any other meaning.

But Jin Taiwu heard the implicit meaning of Ning Shoucheng's words, and he felt a little relieved, it seems that Gong Xiaomu turned out this bill, which does not mean that the Ning family wants to treat the Jin family. Miyataka spans several levels. Call him, just to remind him to pay as much as he can, and not to tear everyone's face.

After the call with Ning Shoucheng, Kim Taiwu knew what to do. It is much better to put your second child on the back of a black cauldron that shocks the soul than to rebel against the Zheguo.

He immediately asked his secretary Chen Gu to contact Gong Xiaomu to inquire about the details of the payment, and sternly warned Chen Gu. Must have a good attitude towards Gong Xiaomu.

Jin Taiwu threw a cashier's check of more than one million Zheyuan to the secretary, and then walked to the office of Wang Zhenqi, the head of the Zheguo Water Agency.

Wang Zhenqi, the number one leader of the Zheguo Water Agency, is at the deputy national level. The position is high and powerful, comparable to the national level.

Even if others think that Kim Taiwu's second child is shocked. But Jin Taiwu himself could not be silent, he had to explain this bill to Wang Zhenqi, and solemnly declare: he Jin Taiwu did not use the vibration raincoat-like thing, it was the dead Hu Qiuyuan who used it to shake.

After sending a telegram of the bill to Kim Tai-mu, the head of the Liuyun Provincial Water Agency, he began to study the food and drink expenses and the bills for soft-shelled turtles and crabs sent by Gong Hyoki.

Two and a half months ago, Hu Qiuyuan went to Quanshui City to give a banquet to the main leaders of the water organs of Liuyun Province. After eating the feast, Hu Qiuyuan gave the main leaders soft-shelled turtles and crabs, among which Lian Chenghong was given four soft-shelled turtles and four crabs, and the three deputies each had two soft-shelled turtles and two crabs.

Gong Xiaomu asked the person who accepted the banquet to bear these excessive expenses, that is, he Lian Chenghong had to pay for four soft-shelled turtles and four crabs in addition to the excessive banquet expenses. Paying money is a trivial matter, and if colleagues in other provinces know about it, won't they have to laugh off their big teeth? What kind of way can stop this matter or not pay the money?

The best thing to do is for the water authorities to issue an order not to care about the excessive cost of the banquet. But Lian Chenghong knew that this was absolutely impossible, because the standard of the banquet fee was set by the Zheguo Water Agency. If the Zheguo Water Organ issued such a notice again, wouldn't it be a slap in the mouth?

The better way is to remove Gong Xiaomu from his position or transfer this second stunned person to another department, but with the great god Ning Shoucheng standing behind Gong Xiaomu, who dares to move Gong Xiaomu?

The last way is to show the prestige of the boss, even if he doesn't pay the money, Gong Xiaomu can't do anything to him. Does this work?

If the deputy director of the water agency of Zheguo pays money, he, the head of the water agency of Liuyun Province, will definitely pay the money. If Jin Taiwu doesn't pay the money, can he even Chenghong not pay the money?

Because of Beoda's matter, Gong Xiaomu has begun to grin at him, without any respect and fear that subordinates should have for their superiors. If Gong Xiaomu's wishes are reversed in payment, I am afraid that Gong Xiaomu will be able to overturn the entire Liuyun Provincial Water Organ.

As soon as he thought of Gong Xiaomu, Lian Chenghong was so angry that his teeth hurt, this Gong Xiaomu is so disgusting, he actually came up with the trick of "who benefits and who bears". When have you ever heard that you can go back to what you have sent out? What's even more disgusting is that you have to vomit out what you eat!

When it comes to Zheguo's public funds, those who can really eat it must be spit out, because these money and property are not personal property, and once it is found that they have taken an extra penny, according to the regulations of the water authority, they will indeed be recovered.

However, the default practice of the civil service department is not to pursue such trivial matters as eating and drinking. Eating and drinking, including water agencies, are considered to be normal work, a lubricant for conducting business, and a catalyst for exchanging feelings. Besides, eating and drinking don't cost much money.

Although there is a set standard of hospitality, we eat according to the standard of the rate. You can't eat the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, you can only call it full. But you can't appreciate the food culture.

The public service system of Zheguo issued a document saying that the personnel of the public service system are the leaders, managers, pioneers, truth-seekers, and prophets of the ordinary people, referred to as the five. As a result, some personnel in the civil service system boast of standing tall and looking far, and require themselves to be familiar with a variety of cultures, among which food culture has become a compulsory course for some officials.

Therefore, with this wonderful reason to study and study gastronomic culture, some officials in the public service have to taste all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and have to break the prescribed standards. According to some officials, this was a last resort. For the sake of work, for the grand cause of Zheguo, he can only spell out the overwhelmed stomach of officials.

No first-level water agency has ever checked the excessive cost of banquets, but Gong Xiaomu just poked this hornet's nest.

Gong Xiaomu also has unparalleled courage and dares to ask his superiors for excessive payments. If he is a delicate person, he will find a way to cover up this matter for his superiors.

A normal official can be strict with officials at the same level or below, but he will never be strict with his superiors. In general, even if a subordinate official wants to be strict with his superiors. There is no such opportunity either.

But Gong Xiaomu doesn't belong to the general situation, and he is too different, and he has the courage to make requests to his superiors.

Lian Chenghong thought a lot, and finally came to the conclusion that he would take money to eliminate the disaster. It's not the same as the notorious Gong Er's stunned general knowledge.。

Picking up the phone, Lian Chenghong informed the three deputies to his office, and he wanted to follow the principle of "who benefits, who bears" proposed by Gong Xiaomu. Everyone bears the excess amount together. Since it is your own money, everyone's accounts must be clear. There can be no difference between cents and cents.

Before the three deputies arrived, the phone on the desk rang.

"Company commander. Your work in Liuyun Province is ahead of everyone, congratulations to the company commander for preparing to become one of the top ten people in Zheguo this year. The voice of Huo Qichen, the head of the Nam Giang Provincial Water Agency, came from the phone.

"Lao Huo, don't tease me, why are we ahead of everyone?"

"Hmph, isn't it you who were the first water agency to inspect the excessive expenses of official banquets? Your Dongshan City Water Agency sent me a telex and asked me to bear the excess payment. This kind of unprecedented thing has appeared in your Liuyun Province, aren't you the first to eat crabs? Shouldn't you be the first person to be the leader of the world?" Huo Qichen said with a sneer.

As soon as Lian Chenghong heard the word "crab", he came up angrily. What he was angry about was that this matter of inspecting the excessive cost of the banquet was made up by Gong Xiaomu, but it was endorsed by the Liuyun Provincial Water Organ, and what was even more infuriating was that the Liuyun Provincial Water Organ could not say that this was the decision of the Dongshan City Water Organ without authorization, so he could only bear this black cauldron in great pain.

"Director Huo, regarding this matter, you asked the Zheguo Water Agency for instructions, and we handled it in accordance with the spiritual instructions of the Zheguo Water Agency. We don't dare to take credit and claim to be ahead of everyone. Lian Chenghong kicked the black cauldron to the Zheguo Water Agency, and he was secretly glad to report the matter to Jin Taiwu, otherwise it would be really difficult to deal with Huo Qichen in Nanjiang Province.

"Even the head of the department, it seems that we in Nanjiang Province will also carry out this work, and if there is anything that your Liuyun Province will benefit from, I hope you will do your best. ”

"Huo Qichen, you don't need to report to me about the affairs of Nanjiang Province. Hearing Huo Qichen's words with a gun and a stick, Lian Chenghong was angry and gave Huo Qichen a soft nail. After saying this, Lian Chenghong hung up the phone, feeling extremely irritable. He didn't expect Gong Xiaomu to not only ask him for money, but also ask for money from other provinces, which was really embarrassing and thrown all over the world.

Thinking about it again, Gong Xiaomu dared to ask the deputy director of the Zheguo Water Agency for money, and would he be afraid of a Nam Giang Provincial Water Agency?

Suddenly, Lian Chenghong thought of a question, if the water department of Nanjiang Province can call, what about other provinces? At this point, the phone on the desk rang again.

Lian Chenghong thought with his knees, and guessed that it might be the phone number of the water organs of other provinces, and it was very likely that it was the phone of the number one, because only the top leaders of the water organs of each province could call him directly without going through the secretary.

didn't go back to answer the phone, Lian Chenghong walked out of the inner room and said to the secretary: "If there is a phone number looking for me, just say that I have something to do when I go out." Other than that. There are 靧hì鸺觳檠缜敕延trade甑ne�褋鳳門 Qin Yi 䊄亍!

Considering that the three deputy heads of organs came over quickly. Lian Chenghong asked the secretary to tell them to go to the conference room to find him.

Lian Chenghong returned to his desk. Ignoring the non-stop phone calls, I picked up the bill and walked briskly out of the office to the conference room.

When it came to Chen Gu's call, Ruan Jingtian was not surprised at all. Listening to the completely different tone from a few hours ago, Ruan Jingtian felt disdainful in his heart: "What a slut! I talk to you with good words, but you ignore me." It won't be long before you hurry up and talk to me with kind words,!"

"Something?" Ruan Jingtian said lazily. His language is more concise.

"Deputy Director of the Palace, can you tell me in detail about the payment of Deputy Director Jin?" Chen Gu had to speak in a pleasant tone, even though he had asked all the women of the Palace family in his heart.

"This matter is in charge of Director Liu of our office, you go and ask him. Ruan Jingtian said this and hung up the phone. He reported it one after another, and it was Chen Gu who hung up the phone first, two or three hours later. It was Ruan Jingtian's turn to hang up the phone first.

Ruan Jingtian did not have the slightest affection for this kind of pretending to be a powerful person, such as some pretending to be a leading secretary, a driver, and the like. To put it bluntly, this kind of pretending secretary and others are real minions.

The internal self-examination of the water mechanism was soon over. The results are astonishing:

Except for a high-ranking leader, most of them have never entertained anyone else. In fact, the water agency personnel went out to eat. Basically, others pay for banquets, and very few water agency personnel pay for treats.

See this result. Ruan Jingtian was a little speechless, he could imagine that those who paid for the hospitality would not dare to let the water agency personnel bear the excessive payment. Rather, it was out of pocket.

If others are willing to pay out of their own pockets, Ruan Jingtian cannot force others to implement the principle of "whoever benefits bears".

Liu Rentao, director of the office, walked in and reported on the progress of the collection of excess funds, and he said happily: None of them were prepared to repay the debts, and they all agreed to pay off the excess amounts.

Ruan Jingtian secretly said in his heart: When you heard that the deputy director of the Zheguo Water Organ paid the money, how could you dare to disobey the order and not pay it? It seems that the leader's example is infinitely powerful!

The personnel who entered the Ministry of War and the city government to check the accounts called one after another to report on the progress of their work: the two departments did not have much conflict, and Mayor Yu Jiyue was a little hesitant at first, but then he heard from nowhere Gong Xiaomu's wise saying, "Whoever benefits bears", and decided to let the people who accept the banquet bear the excess expenses. Now Mayor Yu is calling the relevant people one by one to discuss the repayment.

Ruan Jingtian didn't expect his words to spread to the city government so quickly, and he was a little speechless. However, in general, this is a good thing, as long as the War Department and the city government can actively cooperate in the work, then the work of other departments will not be a problem.

After getting off work, Ruan Jingtian wanted to return to No. 36 Huanhai Villa Group, but suddenly thought that Qin Shuifang followed Wu Zhengji (i.e., Shan Benmu) to Pingzhou City to inspect the textile factory, and the villa was very deserted at this time.

He thought about it for a while and decided to go to the clothing store on Yutong Street to see his sister-in-law Chunhong, Fan Xiaohu and Liu Xiaohua.

Leaving the water organ, Ruan Jingtian changed the three hotels, and dressed himself up as a person who looked like a scholar in the Assassin Country, and his appearance was not much different from his original appearance.

After eating a bowl of beef noodles at a noodle restaurant, Ruan Jingtian hailed a rickshaw and went to the clothing store on Yutong Street.

At this time, it is the time to finish dinner, and many people go out to shop, so there are many customers in the clothing store.

Ruan Jingtian walked in, and a strange girl greeted him and said courteously, "Welcome!"

After glancing at this strange young girl twice, Ruan Jingtian guessed in his heart that this person was Chunhong's newly hired waiter. He walked slowly and watched. After a while, he saw Chunhong sitting behind the cash register.

Ruan Jingtian walked over, Chunhong glanced up, didn't recognize it was Ruan Jingtian, swept his eyes, and then looked at the account book in his hand.

"Sister-in-law. Ruan Jingtian said softly.

Chunhong raised her head suddenly, carefully identified, and finally recognized it as Ruan Jingtian, and her eyes immediately showed a look of surprise.

"Jingtian, is that you?"

Ruan Jingtian nodded and said, "Sister-in-law, when there are outsiders in the future, you can call me brother." I am Brother Fan's sworn brother, surnamed Ruan, don't say my name. ”

"Yes, brother. Chunhong said happily.

"Sister-in-law, did you hire a waiter?"

"Yes, I'm a little too busy to be alone. ”

"Oh, how's business going?" Ruan Jingtian asked, glancing at the young girl again.

"Let's make up for it. I don't speak Zheguo, so I'm a bit of a disadvantage. ”

"In the future, you will also take the time to learn some simple Zheguo dialect and do business with Zheguo people, and it will not work if you don't understand Zheguo dialect at all. ”

"Brother, you go upstairs first to see Xiaohu and Xiaohua, they are doing their homework on them. Later, I'll go up too. ”

Ruan Jingtian came to the staircase, and the young girl suddenly came over and said, "This gentleman, the second floor is the living area, you can't go up." ”

"Hello, Miss, I'm your boss's younger brother, I'll go up to see Xiaohu and Xiaohua. Ruan Jingtian said with a smile.

"Ah, you're the boss's brother, how come I've never heard of it?" said the young girl in surprise.

At this time, Chunhong came over and said, "Zhang Siya, this is Xiaohu's father's sworn brother. Younger brother, this is Miss Zhang, her name is Zhang Siya. ”

Zhang Siya looked Ruan Jingtian up and down, Ruan Jingtian suddenly felt very uncomfortable, and this waiter felt a little noisy.

Ruan Jingtian originally wanted to say a few polite words, but seeing Zhang Siya's expression, he lazily spoke and ran directly to the second floor.

Fan Xiaohu and Liu Xiaohua were doing their homework in the bedroom, and saw Ruan Jingtian walk in, at first, they didn't recognize Ruan Jingtian, when Ruan Jingtian said the names of Xiaohu and Xiaohua, the two immediately knew that it was Uncle Ruan who came, and then ran to Ruan Jingtian's side.

"Uncle Ruan, why don't you look the same as before?" Xiaohu asked.

"Uncle hasn't been here for many days, and his appearance is going to change a little, just like you, you grow taller every day, is Xiaohu today as tall as Xiaohu half a year ago?" Ruan Jingtian didn't want to explain complicated things to a child, so he had to find an excuse to avoid this topic.

Liu Xiaohua is much older than Fan Xiaohu and understands a lot, she vaguely knows some things, so she just smiles and doesn't squeak.

Fan Xiaohu is a child, so naturally he will not dwell on the question of appearance, Ruan Jingtian asked some more things about studying, and learned that Fan Xiaohu and Liu Xiaohua studied very hard, and he was very happy in his heart.

"Xiaohu, when did your mother recruit Zhang Siya?" Ruan Jingtian asked casually.

"Six or seven days ago. Fan Xiaohu said.

"How did your mother find Zhang Siya?" Ruan Jingtian continued to ask.

"It was Sister Siya who came to find her mother. ”

Ruan Jingtian's heart moved, and he asked again, "Did you know Sister Siya before?"

"My mother, my mother, and Sister Xiaohua didn't know Siya before. Fan Xiaohu said.

Liu Xiaohua seemed to have something to say, but held back. Ruan Jingtian saw Liu Xiaohua's expression, so he didn't ask anymore. Fan Xiaohu is too young, and many things are incomprehensible.

Half an hour later, the clothing store closed, and Chunhong and Zhang Siya walked up. Chunhong said hello and led Xiaohu to the toilet. (To be continued......)
