Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

Publicity Section

When Li Feinian, the head of the publicity department, heard that the first quarter financial audit would start early, he was very anxious.
The situation of the Propaganda Department is rather special, as the daily office expenses are very diverse and there is no fixed amount;
For example, they cannot decide on tasks such as posting slogans, setting up and updating publicity boards, etc. The superior documents and the secretary's instructions may incur additional temporary expenses;
Therefore, the usual practice is to implement it first, then complete the formalities and return the funds before the quarterly review;
In fact, the operations of each department are similar. Many of the tasks urgently assigned by superiors or leaders require money.

I definitely cannot afford to pay this money by myself, so I follow the procedure: first get the leader's signature, then take the report to the finance department for a loan after approval, and then use the expense voucher to make reimbursement and return the money after the work is done;

Other departments basically have large-scale expenses, which are not reported very often and can be handled easily, but the cost of publicity is different. Some tasks only cost 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, while some tasks may cost tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan.

In this case, the Propaganda Department takes the lead and centralizes the accounting before the quarterly review begins. The advantage of this is that it saves time, but the disadvantage is that it is too free and does not comply with financial regulations;
The leaders and the finance department knew about these situations, but they just turned a blind eye and did not make them public.

However, the surprise financial inspection brought these issues to the fore. The chairman of the labor union, Cao Pengfei, was a man who adhered to principles, if you put it nicely, but was inflexible and rigid;
Cao Pengfei would definitely not turn a blind eye to such a problem after he found it. At the very least, he would report it to the whole factory at a meeting of cadres.

By then, even if the secretary and the factory director knew the situation here, the problem would be on the table and they would definitely not turn a blind eye to it. It was inevitable that they would deal with it.

Although Li Feinian didn't put a penny into his own pocket, the problem was still a problem, and he couldn't avoid being labeled as a free-spirited person who didn't abide by financial regulations;
By then, the lightest punishment would be a demerit, and if things go wrong, you might even be dismissed from your post. What happened in the past two years is still fresh in our memory, and there is no small matter in finance. In short, we are in big trouble!
"Xu Damao!"

There must be something wrong when things are out of the ordinary. With such a big financial commotion, Li Feinian is sure there is a triggering factor. He must find the crux of the problem and see if there is any way to break the impasse!

"Section Chief, are you looking for me?"

After Xu Damao took over as the film projectionist, he attracted Li Feinian's attention because of his good eyesight and wide circle of friends. If anyone wanted to get information, he would definitely go to this guy!
"Da Mao, I heard that you have many friends in the factory and are well-informed. Is that true?"

Li Feinian tapped the desk and asked casually!
"Chief, I can't say anything else, but I am somewhat confident in making friends!"

Xu Damao had a fawning smile on his face, bent over, and looked like a slave!

"Well, we are the Propaganda Department. The first requirement to become a backbone is to be well-informed. Damao, do a good job. I am optimistic about you!"

Li Feinian did not look down on Xu Damao. This kid was cunning, but he was capable of doing things.

As long as he has the ability, it's fine. He neither supports nor opposes the idea of ​​obeying superiors and not subordinates. Isn't this Xu Damao's way of survival?
"Thank you for your appreciation, Chief. Please give me your orders!"

Xu Damao, who was originally confused, finally realized that the section chief probably wanted to inquire about the news and went to him instead of anyone else. Is this the embodiment of the value that Brother Zhuzi mentioned?
That day, after they finished drinking, Brother Zhuzi told him that if he wanted to satisfy and appreciate his leader, he must not only be quick-eyed and diligent, but also demonstrate his value at appropriate times. Otherwise, why would the leader value him?

"Smart, do you know anyone in the Finance Department?"

Li Feinian secretly praised, this kid is so smart, he understood what he meant before he even said it, not bad, very good!

"Of course, my sister-in-law is in the finance department. What information do you want to know? As long as it does not violate the confidentiality principle, I can give you the answer soon!"

When it comes to the Finance Department, Xu Damao did not take on too much responsibility, but instead limited the conditions;
Cai Qiuyue would definitely not refuse general questions, after all, his relationship with the He family was there; but, when it came to matters of principle, not only him, but even Brother Zhuzi would not be able to find out the answer!
"Really? How come I didn't know you had a brother?"

Li Feinian looked at Xu Damao suspiciously. Is this kid bragging? He personally reviewed the employment file. He didn't even have a cousin, let alone a brother, so where did his sister-in-law come from?
“Section Chief, my sister-in-law is the wife of the canteen manager He Yuzhu, and the deputy section chief of the finance department, Cai Qiuyue;
My dad has a very good relationship with Director He’s father. I also call him Brother Zhuzi. The relationship continues from two generations, so we have long been calling each other brothers!"

"I see. It just so happens that this matter is also related to the cafeteria. Damao, go and ask what the reason for this financial review is.
As a rule, the quarterly financial review is conducted at the end of the first month of the next quarter. This time it was unusual, so there must be something we don’t know.
Don't worry, this is already an open secret and is not confidential!"

Li Feinian was overjoyed. Perhaps he could ask Xu Damao to think of a way to see if he could put the review of the Propaganda Department last.
In this way, he will have more time to complete all the unfinished procedures. Whether he can overcome the difficulties now depends on Xu Damao's status in the He family!

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll be there soon!"

Xu Damao didn't know if it was an open secret, he would find out if he asked;

Since Cai Qiuyue was unwilling to say it, he would report it truthfully. If he did, the section chief would definitely look at him differently, so it would be worth it!
"Well, go quickly!"

Finance Department

Cai Qiuyue sat in the office bored. During this financial audit, she could not participate in the cafeteria audit and had to avoid suspicion.
The finance department is the most idle at the beginning of the month, as all the wages and bonuses for the previous month have been issued. Basically, we learn the rules, practice counting money, etc.

Now, the finance department is checking the canteen accounts, how can she not worry? Although she has many sisters in finance, if there is a problem, not only colleagues, but also her own mother will not be able to help!
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law!"

Just when she was worrying, Xu Damao poked his head out and called out in a low voice. Cai Qiuyue was stunned. Why did this guy come over here?

"come in!"

Cai Qiuyue gave him a displeased look, she disdained Xu Damao's usual servile behavior the most and didn't want to pay attention to this boy from the bottom of her heart, but she had to save face for Brother Zhuzi, because the husband is the leader of his wife!

"Sister-in-law, I want to know something!"

Xu Damao glanced at another financial officer and looked at Cai Qiuyue cautiously!
"Say it directly!"

Cai Qiuyue glared. Could she follow him out at this time? Don't let people think that she let Xu Damao tip off!

"Sister-in-law, our section chief wants to know the reason for the early financial review. Of course, it's okay if you don't want to tell me. I'll just ask casually!"

Xu Damao smiled awkwardly. Cai Qiuyue's fighting power was off the charts. Compared to He Yuzhu, he was more afraid of this extraordinary woman! (End of this chapter)
