Chapter 391: Ants on the hot pot!

"Ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta-ta!"

"Director Jia! What are you busy with?"

At around nine o'clock in the morning, when Jia Dongming was sitting at his desk reading files, the door of the office was suddenly knocked, followed by the smiling voice of Li Huaide.

When Jia Dongming heard the knock on the door, he instinctively looked up. When he saw Li Huaide and a strange middle-aged man standing at the door of the office, he immediately guessed the identity of the middle-aged man, and then stood up from his desk and greeted Li Huaide with a smile: "Director Li! What's the matter with you today that you have time to come to my place?"

When Li Huaide heard Jia Dongming's question, he immediately led Zhang Guobin into Jia Dongming's office and said to him with a smile, "Director Jia! I came to your office today for no reason. I need your help."

Li Huaide said this and immediately introduced Jia Dongming: "Director Jia! Let me introduce you to this, this is the deputy director of the machinery factory, Comrade Zhang Guobin. Lao Zhang and I came to you mainly because Lao Zhang's house was robbed."

The moment Jia Dongming saw Zhang Guobin, he had already guessed Li Huaide's intention. When Jia Dongming heard what Li Huaide said, he immediately showed a dissatisfied expression on his face and said to Li Huaide, "Director Li! Because of the relationship between us, I violated the organizational principles and postponed reporting this matter to your disciplinary inspection department for one day. Now you come to me again. Isn't this forcing me to do something difficult?"

Zhang Guobin, who was standing by, heard Jia Dongming's answer and saw Jia Dongming's obviously dissatisfied expression. He quickly walked up to Jia Dongming and pleaded with him, "Director Jia! I believe you should also know that there is a clear regulation that no one is allowed to keep small yellow croakers at home."

"When I found out my house had been robbed, I thought about reporting it to the police, but when I thought about the stolen yellow croakers, I got carried away and decided to just call it bad luck, and eventually gave up the idea of ​​reporting it to the police."

"Director Jia! You and Lao Li are good friends. Please, for Lao Li's sake, help me this time! As long as I can get through this difficult time, I promise to remember your kindness."

The reason why Li Huaide helped Zhang Guobin was mainly because he felt that Zhang Guobin's matter could be either big or small. After hearing Zhang Guobin's pleading and seeing Zhang Guobin's begging expression, Li Huaide finally couldn't help but persuade Jia Dongming: "Director Jia! I know that Lao Zhang's request makes you feel very embarrassed, but Lao Zhang has no choice but to do this. Can you help Lao Zhang?"

After hearing what Li Huaide said, Jia Dongming looked at the two people standing in front of him and answered seriously: "Director Li! It's not that I don't want to give you this face, but Zhang Guobin has no way to explain the source of the yellow croaker that was stolen from his home. How can you let me help him?"

When Li Huaide heard what Jia Dongming said, he immediately understood what he meant and quickly asked Zhang Guobin, "Old Zhang! Don't worry, can you tell me where those yellow croakers in your house came from?"

Zhang Guobin was completely confused because he was worried about his future, so he didn't understand what Jia Dongming meant. Now when he heard Li Huaide's question and saw Li Huaide's expression, Zhang Guobin came to his senses and quickly replied: "Director Jia! Those yellow croakers of mine are my wife's dowry. They are the only thoughts my mother-in-law left for my wife. That's why we didn't exchange them for small yellow croakers when our superiors asked us to exchange them for small yellow croakers."

When Jia Dongming heard the reply given by Zhang Guobin, he naturally did not believe what Zhang Guobin said, but Jia Dongming, who came from later generations, was not the kind of person who hated evil, otherwise he would not have agreed to Li Huaide to postpone reporting the matter to the disciplinary inspection department of the Ministry of Industry for one day.

After thinking seriously for a while, Jia Dongming persuaded Zhang Guobin with a serious face: "Comrade Zhang Guobin! Many comrades in the branch know that your house was robbed but you did not report it. Even if I am willing to give face to Director Li, I can only hide it for a while, but not forever. What's more, we are not related. I can't ignore my own premise because of my relationship with Director Li." "But for Director Li's sake, I can give you a suggestion. Before I go to your superior disciplinary inspection department, you take the initiative to admit your mistakes to your superiors and explain the source of these yellow croakers to them. As long as the source of the yellow croakers is not a problem, you will only be punished at most. This is a hundred times better than your superiors receiving the news and talking to you."

When Li Huaide saw that Jia Dongming had said this, he immediately realized that Jia Dongming was dissatisfied with the fact that he had brought Zhang Guobin here.

Facing Jia Dongming's suggestion to Zhang Guobin, Li Huaide also felt that Jia Dongming's suggestion was the only way to solve the problem at present, and then persuaded Zhang Guobin: "Old Zhang! Director Jia is right. As long as you can explain the reasonable source of these yellow croakers and take the initiative to admit your mistakes to your superiors, your superiors should be based on the principle of curing illness and saving lives and give you a lighter punishment."

When Zhang Guobin heard what Jia Dongming said, he realized that based on the relationship between Li Huaide and Jia Dongming, Jia Dongming would definitely not take the risk to help him.

Facing Li Huaide's persuasion, Zhang Guobin knew that the solution Jia Dongming had just proposed to him was the best solution, and he immediately thanked Jia Dongming: "Director Jia! Thank you for your guidance. After I handle this matter, I will find a place to organize a meeting and invite you and Lao Li to have a simple meal together."

When Jia Dongming heard Zhang Guobin's promise, he shook his head instinctively and replied, "Comrade Zhang Guobin! It was because of Director Li's request that I postponed my visit to the Discipline Inspection Department of the Ministry of Industry for one day, so the person you should really thank should be Director Li."

Seeing Jia Dongming pushing the credit to him, Li Huaide quickly replied modestly: "Director Jia! Please don't say that. If you hadn't agreed to help, Lao Zhang would probably have been taken away by the disciplinary inspection department. So your help to Lao Zhang is like a grace of rebirth."

When Jia Dongming heard what Li Huaide said, he was not happy about it. Instead, he reminded Zhang Guobin with a serious face: "Comrade Zhang Guobin! I will call your superior department when I go to work tomorrow afternoon to inform your superior department of this matter, so there is not much time left for you now. You should go back and think of a way to deal with it!"

When Zhang Guobin heard the exact time given by Jia Dongming, he quickly thanked Jia Dongming: "Director Jia! Thank you! Then I will take my leave first. Goodbye!"

Li Huaide saw Zhang Guobin walking out of the office, and said to Jia Dongming awkwardly, "Director Jia! I'm sorry! It's all my fault for making trouble for you."

When Jia Dongming heard what Li Huaide said, he rolled his eyes at him and said to him seriously, "Director Li! Let's make it clear that this is the first and last time we'll have this happen. Otherwise, we won't even be friends anymore."

Li Huaide knew very well that if it were not for Jia Dongming, he would probably be like Zhang Guobin, in a state of panic because of the theft in his home.

Facing Jia Dongming's instructions, Li Huaide immediately assured Jia Dongming: "Director Jia! I know I did a bad thing with good intentions today, and ended up causing you trouble. Don't worry, I promise this is the last time, and something like this will never happen again."

When Jia Dongming heard Li Huaide's promise and thought of the things that were stolen from Li Huaide, he instructed Li Huaide: "Director Li! Remember to say hello to your nephew, and then ask him to go to the Serious Crime Squad of the sub-bureau to get the lost items back. However, after the yellow croakers are brought back, ask him to go to the bank immediately and exchange them for money."
