Chapter 195 Seeking Truth from Facts
Fortunately, he met an experienced and good leader. Dawei could see the problems clearly and give him advice and suggestions at critical moments.
"Have you discussed this with Director Wu?"
"No, to be honest, the money for the gift for Director Zheng was borrowed from Director Wu. I didn't dare tell him..."
David secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Given Wu Maocai's wisdom, he would certainly have been able to see many of the problems here, and Zhao Kui wouldn't have been so troubled and distressed for so long.
If Wu Maocai knew about this but didn't offer guidance or report it to Dawei, then it would mean that Wu Maocai had ulterior motives.
Fortunately, Wu Maocai didn't know this beforehand.
"Zhao Kui, in the future, if something similar happens, you need to learn to report it to your superiors."
What is the role of a leader?
Isn't it all about solving problems for our comrades?
If you don't tell him, it means you don't trust Director Wu; he's still your senior colleague.
This further proves that you still don't trust me, the county magistrate.
Zhao Kui panicked: "I..."
After a moment's thought, I realized I couldn't argue my way out of it.
The fact that the county head could criticize him to his face shows that he considers him one of his own.
"You are right."
In the future, if I encounter a similar situation, I will definitely report it to the director and the county head more often.
Ultimately, it's my own lack of self-confidence that's the problem.
It's not that I have any opinion about you or Director Wu.
I lack self-confidence, so I feel that I am not worthy of your and the director's help, and I worry that I will cause you trouble.
Ultimately, it's because I suffered too much before.
Even now that I'm working for you, I still lack confidence.
I will definitely reflect on this and make decisive improvements.
He managed to resolve this difficult situation with ease, defusing the conflict with a simple statement that he was hesitant to trust people due to a lack of self-confidence, and even gaining some sympathy in the process.
At the same time, flatter the leader.
This guy is quick-witted, almost as sharp as Wu Maocai.
Dawei was very satisfied with Zhao Kui's insight.
How far Dawei can go in the future depends on how many people like Wu Maocai and Zhao Kui he can control.
The upper limit is determined by those above.
The people below formed his foundation, ensuring a minimum standard.
Dawei is intentionally grooming Zhao Kui and teaching him.
"Yes, there are other people here; you and I are colleagues."
When we close the door, it's just the two of us, and that's what friends are.
What can't be said?
Zhao Kui smiled gratefully: "Sir, what do you think I should do next regarding this advance payment?"
David already had a plan in mind. He beckoned him to come forward a little so he could give him his instructions.
"Didn't he want you to go to the accountant to get reimbursed through the company's accounts?"
Then you should do as he wishes.
Tomorrow, I'll write up the expense report and get it reimbursed.
However, the receipt must clearly state where the expense went, who proposed spending the money, and who was present and witnessed the event.
Zhao Kui's eyes darted around: "Doesn't that mean putting Zhang Xuewen on the spot? Would the accountant still dare to approve it?"
If Zhang Xuewen's name isn't on the list, then the accountant approved it, and if something goes wrong, Zhang Xuewen won't be implicated.
If Zhang Xuewen's name is mentioned, he won't be able to escape if something happens; they'll arrest a whole bunch of them.
People like Zhang Xuewen dare to do this because they've already coordinated with the accountant; they're in cahoots to make the person seeking reimbursement take the blame.
So he was worried that this would be useless and probably wouldn't pass.
What the accountant thinks is none of your concern.
You've done nothing exaggerated or untrue, so what are you afraid of?
You filled out the form truthfully, your supervisor asked you to advance the funds, and then you applied for reimbursement from the government; that's perfectly reasonable.
Always remember.
Being realistic and pragmatic is a magic weapon.
No one can do anything to you.
Zhao Kui then realized the mystery behind it.
Write Zhang Xuewen's name directly in the document, saying that Zhang Xuewen requested the advance payment, and the problem will then fall to the accountant.
The accountant and Zhang Xuewen had an unspoken understanding; the accountant knew that if this expense was reimbursed, it would affect Zhang Xuewen, so she would definitely report it to him.
The problem then became a dispute between Zhang Xuewen and the accountant.
If the order is returned, Zhang Xuewen will have no choice but to face the issue of the advance payment, give Zhao Kui an explanation, and ultimately return the money to Zhao Kui—because the only way for Zhang Xuewen to avoid repayment is to pretend he doesn't know anything.
As soon as the accountant reports, Zhang Xuewen loses this shield.
Even if Zhang Xuewen continues to play dumb, Zhao Kui can take the rejected form to Zhang Xuewen and say, "County Chief Zhang, what do you think we should do about this?"
Once you have orders, you have something to hold onto, and that's how the matter can be brought to the forefront.
This would avoid the awkward situation where Zhao Kui directly asks Zhang Xuewen for money. Asking for money directly would create a personal conflict, while having a business deal would make it a public matter.
A single order is the key to breaking the deadlock.
Let's assume that the accountant and County Head Zhang discussed it together, and Zhang Xuewen agreed to report the money to Zhao Kui; that would be even better.
This confirms that Zhang Xuewen abused his position for personal gain, providing concrete evidence that he used public funds to reimburse his private banquets.
This gave County Chief Chen and the comrades from the Discipline Inspection Commission an opportunity.
"Boss, I learned something new today."
good idea.
I know what to do.
Zhao Kui chuckled.
"Does he really know?"
Zhao Kui nodded with certainty: "I really understand."
If this order is approved and reimbursed, I will immediately go to the Discipline Inspection Commission to file a formal complaint against Zhang Xuewen.
He's taking public money, indulging in lavish meals and drinks, and using it for personal favors. Let's see how he explains himself.
Hearing this, Dawei felt relieved; this boy was teachable.
He can guess his leader's intentions without needing to say things outright.
……
Around nine o'clock at night.
Zhou Xiangzhang's wife, along with Zhou Dongliang and the family's nanny, went back to her parents' home to visit the elderly.
Zhou Xiangzhang lives alone in the family.
Li Taoying had been sitting in the car outside the villa for almost an hour.
Today is Zhou Xiangzhang's father-in-law's birthday, and his wife will probably go back to her parents' home.
This is a great opportunity to enter the Zhou family.
Having already promised Dawei that she would obtain the Protector's Talisman, Li Taoying had to carry it out.
Otherwise, Chen Dawei would have released that video publicly.
This guy is a man of his word; his methods and audacity are in no way inferior to Zhou Xiangzhang's.
Putting everything else aside, just considering the video incident alone, Li Taoying was impressed.
To obtain such a video would require mobilizing a lot of resources, including influential figures in Pengcheng government and persuading the senior management of Baihua Hotel. It's something that most people couldn't do, couldn't even think of, and wouldn't know that Li Taoying had this fetish.
After waiting for about ten minutes until Zhou Xiangzhang's family had left and was certain that they wouldn't be back anytime soon, Li Taoying drove off and called Zhou Xiangzhang.
"Xiangzhang, open the gate to the yard."
"What, you're coming to my house?" Zhou Xiangzhang asked, a little flustered.
"Yes, I won't get out of the car. Just open the door and I'll drive right in so no one sees me."
"What...what's going on?"
"Nothing's wrong, just came to check on you. What's wrong, are you scared?"
