Siheyuan: I am Banggeng's uncle

Chapter 816 Li Huaide's Speculation!

"Dingling! Dingling! Dingling!"

Around nine o'clock in the morning, the phone in Jia Dongming's office suddenly rang. Hearing the ring, Jia Dongming reached for the receiver and politely asked, "Hello! This is Jia Dongming. May I ask who this is?"

"Director Jia! Good morning! This is Li Huaide. What have you been busy with these past few days? Why haven't you come over to visit me?" Li Huaide's cheerful voice came through the phone as soon as Jia Dongming finished asking.

Upon hearing Li Huaide's question, Jia Dongming immediately realized that Li Huaide must have something to ask him since he was calling so early in the morning. So he smiled and said to Li Huaide, "Director Li! You know what happened in our security department recently. I've been busy with the aftermath every day. I haven't had time to wander around!"

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's answer, Li Huaide thought of the recent investigation into the Security Department, and curiously asked Jia Dongming, "Director Jia! I heard that the person who reported you was a captain in the patrol section of your Security Department. Does that person have a grudge against you? Why would they report you?"

When Jia Dongming heard Li Huaide ask about Lu Zhonghua, he was quite surprised. After all, he had only instructed Zhang Guoping to spread the news that Lu Zhonghua was an internal traitor two days ago. He didn't expect that Li Huaide had already heard about it. This showed that Li Huaide's control over the steel rolling mill was definitely not to be underestimated.

Faced with Li Huaide's question, Jia Dongming thought of the real reason why Lu Zhonghua had been transferred to the security department, and asked Li Huaide with a helpless expression, "Director Li! Do you still remember Chen Weizhong?"

When Li Huaide heard Jia Dongming mention Chen Weizhong, a look of surprise appeared on his face. He asked Jia Dongming with a puzzled expression, "Director Jia! Chen Weizhong was transferred from the steel rolling mill in less than a year because of his actions against your security department. Is this related to Chen Weizhong?"

Upon hearing Li Huaide's question and sensing the shock in Li Huaide's words, Jia Dongming smiled and introduced to Li Huaide, "Director Li! You may not know this, but Chen Weizhong's father-in-law is named Zhao Zhonghua, and the Lu Zhonghua you just mentioned used to be Zhao Zhonghua's bodyguard."

Upon learning of the relationship between Lu Zhonghua and Chen Weizhong, Li Huaide felt as if a light had suddenly come to his head. With an incredulous look, he asked Jia Dongming, "Director Jia! Could it be that Chen Weizhong's father-in-law, because you got rid of Chen Weizhong, specifically placed his bodyguard in your security department to secretly investigate evidence of your security department's illegal distribution of benefits, and is trying to retaliate against you in this way?"

Seeing that Li Huaide immediately understood the key point, Jia Dongming did not answer Li Huaide's question. Instead, he replied with a half-smile, "Director Li! Although our security department's distribution of welfare benefits is indeed irregular, I, Jia Dongming, am upright and honest, and I am not afraid of being investigated at all."

Having said that, Jia Dongming immediately changed the subject, asking Li Huaide, "Director Li! You called me so early this morning, do you have any instructions?"

Still in shock, Li Huaide remembered why he had called Jia Dongming when he heard Jia Dongming's question. He quickly asked Jia Dongming, "Director Jia! I remember you told me a few days ago that your friend can purchase all kinds of advanced equipment. I wonder if your friend can help our factory purchase a few of the most advanced rolling mills."

Over the years, the system's shopping mall has evolved from a supermarket into a large shopping center. Jia Dongming can not only obtain various daily necessities from it, but also acquire all kinds of advanced equipment. Upon learning the reason for Li Huaide's call, Jia Dongming did not immediately answer Li Huaide's question. Instead, he feigned hesitation for a moment before saying to Li Huaide, "Director Li! My friend did tell me last time that he could procure various advanced equipment, but whether he has an advanced rolling mill, I need to contact him personally before I can give you a definite answer."

Li Huaide was not surprised by Jia Dongming's answer at all. He smiled and said to Jia Dongming, "Director Jia! Then please ask your friend for me, and if you know, please find out the specific model of the rolling mill. Please give me a reply as soon as you have any news."

Upon hearing Li Huaide's reply, Jia Dongming smiled and said to Li Huaide, "Director Li! There is absolutely no problem with that. I will get back to you as soon as I have the results."

After hanging up the phone, Li Huaide thought about the news Jia Dongming had just told him on the phone. Suddenly, he remembered that Chen Weizhong had been sentenced for bribery a few days ago. He thought about when the investigation team entered the security department and when Chen Weizhong was sentenced. A terrible thought instantly surged into his mind.

With this thought in mind, Jia Dongming immediately reached for the telephone on his desk, shook the handset a few times, picked up the receiver, and said with a serious expression, "This is Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill. Please transfer me to the Industrial Bureau, to Vice President Qian's office."

"Hello! This is Qianban. Who is this?" The call was answered quickly. Before Li Huaide could even speak, a middle-aged man's voice came through the phone.

Upon hearing the middle-aged man's inquiry, Li Huaide immediately smiled and said, "Director Liu! This is Huaide. Is my father home? Could you please let him answer the phone?"

Upon hearing Li Huaide's inquiry, Director Liu on the other end of the phone immediately smiled and said to Li Huaide, "Oh, it's Factory Director Li! General Manager Qian is meeting with guests from Fujian Province in his office. Please wait a moment while I ask if General Manager Qian is available to take the call."

"Huai De! Xiao Liu said you need to talk to me. Is it about the purchase of the rolling mill? Has Jia Dongming made any progress?" After waiting for about eight or nine minutes, Li Huaide finally heard his father-in-law's very kind voice on the phone.

Upon hearing his father-in-law's question, Li Huaide remembered why he had called him and immediately said, "Dad! I've already spoken to Jia Dongming about purchasing the rolling mill. He said he'll contact his friend as soon as possible and let me know as soon as he has any results."

"The reason I'm calling you today is not about purchasing a rolling mill, but about something else."

Upon hearing Li Huaide's words, Vice President Qian looked puzzled and asked Li Huaide curiously, "Huaide! You just said it was about something else, so what exactly is it?"
