Siheyuan: I am Banggeng's uncle

Chapter 804 The Little Girl Who Caused Trouble!

Upon hearing Zheng Xinhua's question, General Zhao's gaze suddenly sharpened, and he reminded Zheng Xinhua in a very serious tone: "Xiao Zheng! There are some things you shouldn't ask, so you'd better not ask them."

Upon hearing General Manager Zhao's reminder, Zheng Xinnian realized that he had asked some inappropriate questions and quickly admitted his mistake, saying, "General Manager Zhao! I was wrong. I will definitely keep this in mind and make sure I don't make the same mistake again."

Upon hearing Zheng Xinnian's promise and seeing her humble admission of her mistake, General Zhao, feeling somewhat irritated, solemnly instructed Zheng Xinnian, "Bride! I'm entrusting the Huidong matter to you. I have a meeting to attend, so you should go back now!"

Upon hearing General Manager Zhao's instructions, Zheng Xinnian immediately stood up from his chair and replied respectfully, "General Manager Zhao! I'll be leaving now. If there are any new developments in the Huidong matter, I will call you as soon as possible to report to you."

"Tap tap tap! Tap tap tap! Tap tap tap!"

Around 8 a.m., just as Jia Dongming was sitting at his desk reviewing documents, there was a sudden knock on the office door.

Hearing the knock, Jia Dongming subconsciously looked up and saw Zhang Guoping and Jiang Liyuan standing at the office door. Especially when he saw Jiang Liyuan's expression, which seemed like she had done something wrong, an ominous feeling rose in his heart. He smiled and asked, "Guoping! Liyuan! Is there something you two can help me with?"

When Zhang Guoping heard Jia Dongming's question and saw Jia Dongming's friendly smile, he felt a surge of anger when he thought about what Jiang Liyuan had done. He quickly walked into Jia Dongming's office and reported to Jia Dongming with a guilty expression, "Director! I failed to manage the people in the department well. I apologize to you."

Zhang Guoping's self-criticism undoubtedly confirmed Jia Dongming's suspicions. Looking at the two men standing in front of the desk, he asked Zhang Guoping in a very calm tone, "Guoping! What exactly happened? If you have something to say, sit down and tell me!"

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's words, Zhang Guoping did not sit down in the chair opposite the desk as usual. Thinking of the trouble Jiang Liyuan had caused, Zhang Guoping scolded Jiang Liyuan impatiently, "Liyuan! What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and tell our director what stupid things you've done!"

When Jiang Liyuan heard Zhang Guoping's reprimand, she realized that she had forgotten his instructions and had revealed that the logistics department had used yellow croaker to purchase supplies. Feeling guilty, she kept rubbing the hem of her clothes with her hands, and tears streamed down her cheeks like broken beads, dripping onto the office floor.

Standing next to Jiang Liyuan, Zhang Guoping saw that Jiang Liyuan was only crying and did not say a word. He immediately felt angry and scolded Jiang Liyuan: "What are you crying for? Hurry up and tell our director what good things you have done."

Upon hearing Zhang Guoping's reprimand, Jiang Liyuan trembled slightly and reported to Jia Dongming with a choked voice, "Director! Lu Zhonghua and I live in the same compound. Before the New Year, Lu Zhonghua came to me and asked where our security department's supplies came from. He asked if I could help him buy some pork."

“At the time, I didn’t think much of it and just told him that the people providing the supplies didn’t accept cash and that if he wanted to purchase supplies, he had to pay with yellow croaker. Lu Zhonghua asked me where the yellow croaker came from, and since we were all from the same unit, I told him where the yellow croaker came from.” As Jiang Liyuan finished speaking, she thought about the mistake she had made and lowered her head and cried again.

Upon hearing Jiang Liyuan's explanation, Jia Dongming learned that the Zhao family had discovered their embezzlement of yellow croaker. His brows furrowed, and he asked Jiang Liyuan in a very serious tone, "Liyuan! Besides asking you about our exchange of yellow croaker for supplies, did Lu Zhonghua ask you about the quantity of each transaction, or how many yellow croakers we actually have in our slush fund?"

Jiang Liyuan, who was feeling scared about the trouble she had caused, slowly raised her head when she heard Jia Dongming's question. Her voice choked as she answered, "Director! Lu Zhonghua asked. At the time, I suddenly remembered my uncle's instructions, so I didn't mention the specific number of transactions or the quantity of yellow croakers needed for the transactions."

When Jia Dongming learned that Jiang Liyuan had only told Lu Zhonghua that they were exchanging yellow croaker for supplies, without revealing the specific number of yellow croakers or the number of transactions, his anxiety finally subsided. He then solemnly instructed Jiang Liyuan, "Liyuan! If anyone asks you in the future how many times we traded and how many yellow croakers we traded each time?"

“Tell them that we used to trade in cash, and only the last two times did we use the confiscated croakers to trade with them because the other party asked for them to trade croakers. The first time it was three small croakers, and the second time it was two small croakers. Even when the investigation team questions you, you have to stick to this story.”

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's instructions, Jiang Liyuan nodded repeatedly, like a chicken pecking at rice, and assured him, "Director! I've remembered everything you just told me. From now on, no matter who asks me, I will answer according to what you just said."

Upon hearing Jiang Liyuan's reply, Jia Dongming, remembering that he had already sent Zhao Huidong to jail the previous night, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He calmly instructed Jiang Liyuan, "Liyuan! Go back to your office first. Also, don't mention anything about Lu Zhonghua, no matter who asks you."

Hearing Jia Dongming's instructions to Jiang Liyuan, and remembering that Jiang Liyuan's crying might have aroused the curiosity of other colleagues in the building, Zhang Guoping immediately instructed Jiang Liyuan: "Liyuan! When you get back to the office, if anyone asks you why you were crying, just say it's because you made a mistake in the accounts and I disciplined you."

Upon hearing Zhang Guoping's instructions, Jiang Liyuan quickly nodded and replied, "Uncle! I understand."

“This is a workplace. How many times have I told you to call me Section Chief Zhang here?” Zhang Guoping frowned immediately upon hearing Jiang Liyuan’s address to him and promptly reminded her.

After watching Jiang Liyuan leave Jia Dongming's office, Zhang Guoping, thinking about the trouble Jiang Liyuan had caused, apologized to Jia Dongming with a guilty look on his face: "Director! It's all my fault for not managing my subordinates well, which resulted in Liyuan causing such a big mess."

Upon hearing Zhang Guoping's apology, Jia Dongming subconsciously waved his hand and replied, "Guoping! Liyuan is just a young girl who has just started working, and Lu Zhonghua is an employee of our security department. How could he understand these intricacies?"
