Chapter 397: Stealing chicken but losing rice!

After Li Huaide hung up the phone with Jia Dongming, he thought of the news Jia Dongming had just told him, and his face became extremely gloomy. He reached out to hold the phone, shook the handle a few times quickly, then picked up the receiver and said sternly, "Switchboard! Connect me to the logistics department."

"Hello! This is the Logistics Department. Who is this?" The call was connected quickly. Before Li Huaide had time to speak, a middle-aged man's polite voice came from the phone.

When Li Huaide heard the familiar voice asking on the phone, his face became extremely gloomy, and he asked in a very serious tone: "Zhong Peng! The Logistics Department reduced the proportion of fine grain rations for the Security Department. Why didn't you report to me in advance?"

Zhong Peng, who was on the other end of the phone, heard Li Huaide's questioning and felt Li Huaide's anger. He showed a puzzled expression on his face and asked Li Huaide curiously: "Director Li! What do you mean by reducing the proportion of fine grain rations for the Security Department? I didn't know anything about this at all?"

When Li Huaide heard Zhong Peng's answer, he immediately realized that Zhong Peng was also kept in the dark. He asked Zhong Peng seriously, "Zhong Peng! I just received a call from Director Jia of the Security Department, saying that Zhou Yongnian called their Security Department Logistics Division and said that starting from next month, the supply of fine grains to the Security Department will be reduced. Don't tell me that you don't know about this?"

Zhong Peng heard Li Huaide's question and felt Li Huaide's anger. He felt cold sweat on his forehead and quickly explained to Li Huaide: "Director Li! Zhou Yongnian never reported this matter to me. If I hadn't heard what you just said, I wouldn't have known about this."

Zhong Peng's report confirmed Li Huaide's guess. Thinking that someone in the logistics department he was in charge of actually dared not take him, the leader in charge, seriously, Li Huaide was furious. He ordered Zhong Peng in a very stern tone: "Zhong Peng! I order you now to check what is going on immediately."

"Ding-a-ling! Ding-a-ling! Ding-a-ling!"

Jia Dongming sat in the office and waited for about ten minutes. Suddenly, the phone on his desk rang. Hearing the ringing, Jia Dongming reached out to pick up the receiver and asked politely, "Hello! I'm Jia Dongming. Who is this?"

"Director Jia! I have already investigated the matter you just asked me to investigate." As soon as Jia Dongming finished his inquiry, Li Huaide's reply came immediately from the phone.

After hearing Li Huaide's answer, Jia Dongming thought about his own judgment and asked Li Huaide curiously, "Director Li! Logistic Department of the Steel Rolling Mill should report to you first for something like today. However, the people in the Logistics Department bypassed you and called our Security Department to issue a notice. This clearly shows that they do not take you, the leader in charge, seriously."

Li Huaide on the other end of the phone heard the question raised by Jia Dongming, and thought of the result he just learned. He replied with a look of resentment: "Director Jia! I never thought that some people would be so fast. They reached into our logistics department within half a month of arriving at our steel mill."

Li Huaide's answer was equivalent to confirming Jia Dongming's guess in disguise. However, considering that Zhang Guoping was still in his office, Jia Dongming did not respond to Li Huaide's words. Instead, he asked Li Huaide with a serious face: "Director Li! The factory wants to reduce the proportion of fine grains allocated to our security department. We must give our security department an explanation, right?" Li Huaide heard Jia Dongming's inquiry and immediately introduced to Jia Dongming: "Director Jia! The situation is like this. Yesterday, the factory's Finance Department came to our Logistics Department to reconcile accounts and found that this month your Security Department has taken twice as much food from the logistics warehouse, and most of it is fine grains."

"After the Finance Department reported this situation to Director Chen, Director Chen said on the spot that the steel mill is a department that engages in heavy physical work, and the logistics department of the steel mill must first ensure that the workers in the factory have enough food to ensure the safe production of the steel mill, so it was decided to reduce the proportion of fine grains supplied to the security department."

When Jia Dongming heard the news Li Huaide told him, he felt like he was about to laugh. He couldn't help but ask Li Huaide, "Director Li! You just said that our security department received twice as much food from the factory warehouse this month. This statement is obviously not feasible, right? You know, those things originally belonged to our security department, and they were just stored in your logistics warehouse."

"Also, according to what I know, the steel mill still owes our security department a portion of its office expenses. Not only have you not returned the office expenses to us, you are even planning to deduct our food ration ratio. Since you have decided to do this, I will apply to my superiors to directly transfer all the salaries of our security department's staff and office expenses to our security department."

Li Huaide could never have imagined that Jia Dongming actually planned to take advantage of this opportunity to separate the Security Department from the steel mill. This was definitely something he did not want to see. He immediately reminded Jia Dongming, "Director Jia! Although your Security Department's salary and office expenses are all allocated from above, the steel mill will also subsidize your Security Department with thousands of yuan every year. Once your Security Department wants to be financially independent, you may not be able to get this money in the future?"

When Jia Dongming heard Li Huaide's reminder, how could he not understand Li Huaide's idea? Thinking of Chen Weizhong's secret tricks to interfere with the security department, Jia Dongming smiled and reminded Li Huaide: "Director Li! Although the steel mill gives our security department a sum of money every year, this money is actually a subsidy for us to escort the factory and transport goods. It is the money we should get."

Li Huaide was visibly stunned when he heard Jia Dongming's reminder. He smiled and replied, "Director Jia! You are right. Your security department is responsible for the safe production of the steel mill. It is entirely reasonable for the steel mill to pay some expenses."

When Jia Dongming heard Li Huaide's answer, a wise look flashed in his eyes. He smiled and said to Li Huaide, "Director Li! I'll trouble you to convey my idea to several leaders of the steel mill later. I will also report this idea to the leaders of the Municipal Bureau, so that our security department will not use our own things and be regarded as taking advantage of the steel mill."

When Li Huaide heard Jia Dongming's decision, he thought about how Chen Weizhong would react after learning of Jia Dongming's plan, and said to Jia Dongming with a smile: "Director Jia! Okay! Then I will go to Director Chen now and tell him your idea."

Li Huaide hung up Jia Dongming's phone call, smiled and muttered to himself: "Chen Weizhong, Chen Weizhong! I wonder if you will feel depressed after learning about Jia Dongming's decision, as if you have lost more than you gained."
