Compromise

  Han Dong glanced at Huang Song and said, "This party group meeting mainly has two agendas. One is to confirm some financial issues, and the other is to further clarify the division of labor among our party group members..."

  Huang Song's face was gloomy, constantly puffing on his cigarette, it was clear that Han Dong's actions were beyond his expectations.

  Zhao Renshun's hands were pressed against the notebook, and his heart was pounding like a drum, thumping non-stop.

  Ge Wen'guo said: "Director Han, I think it's better if we have someone come and take notes for this meeting."

  Han Dong nodded and said, "Then let Liu Cuifen take notes."

  Zou Gang immediately stood up and went out, soon bringing Liu Cuifen into the conference room. Her face was red, holding a meeting record book, quickly glanced at Han Dong, sat down beside Zou Gang, opened the record book, and started writing on it.

  "Alright, let's get started with the meeting. I'll go over the agenda again: first, clarify financial issues; second, clarify division of labor within the party group. Now, let's move on to the first item on the agenda. Zou Gang, please discuss the problems you've found in the finances."

  "Uh-huh, according to Director Han's arrangement and deployment, I reviewed the financial statements for the first half of the year and found some suspicious points, involving a total of five receipts..."

  Zou Gang said, taking out the five receipts and turning to Zhao Ren Shun: "Director Zhao, I've checked the relevant logistics and finances for the items listed on these receipts, but there's no corresponding object. Could you please explain what this communication equipment is? The cost is actually 2,500 yuan?"

  "Uh...this..." Zhao Renshun muttered, his old face turning a bit red. This money was for Huang Song to buy a beeper, and 600 yuan of it was given directly to Huang Song, supposedly for him to pay the service fee later.

  Huang Song sat to the side, feeling very uneasy, constantly taking big puffs of smoke, his face changing from cloudy to sunny, without looking at Zhao Ren Shun. He knew that Han Dong was pointing east and hitting west, targeting him, so at this moment his inner activities were extremely intense, "This guy is really coming, how annoying..."

  At the same time, Huang Song was also somewhat dissatisfied with Zhao Renshun in his heart, "If he had changed those few sheets earlier, it wouldn't have been so troublesome."

  He was worried and resentful, his whole heart seemed to be tightly grasped by a hand.

  Han Dong said in a low voice: "Director Zhao, tell me what's going on?"

  "Director Han..." Zhao Renshun glanced at Huang Song and gritted his teeth, saying: "Director Han, I'll explain this later in your office..."

  "Why wait for a private explanation? Is there something that can't be said openly?" Han Dong interrupted Zhao Renshun's words, with a hint of cold smile on his face.

  "It seems that this bill is indeed problematic. Since that's the case, I think I'll go report to Secretary Wang of the Discipline Inspection Committee. He's been very concerned about our work in the Statistics Bureau, and I'm sure he'll handle those corrupt individuals seriously."

  Zhao Renshun was stunned, looking at Huang Song in a daze, his lips trembling slightly.

  "What does he mean?" Huang Song was puzzled and didn't understand. Did Han Dongming know that Wang Secretary was his own person?

  It suddenly dawned on Huang Song that Han Dong was forcing Zhao Ren Shun to take all the blame.

  "But the key question is, even if Zhao Ren Shun resisted alone, the matter of the single child would still involve me. After all, I'm the one who signed my name on those documents."

  Zhao Renshun, who had turned his mind around, finally understood what Han Dong meant.

  Wang Jingui is Huang Song's backstage, involving Huang Song's affairs, he must think of a way to help, then Zhao Renshun will become the scapegoat. It is said that the county party secretary cannot tolerate people with economic problems, if Zhao Renshun really becomes this scapegoat, then everything about him is over, and Wang Jingui can't even help.

  In this case, it seems that Zhao Ren Shun's best choice is to shift the responsibility onto Huang Song's body. No matter what, as the director of the office, he cannot escape responsibility. Rather than taking on a big black pot, it would be better to push away most of the responsibility and only take on what he should bear. Perhaps he will only receive general punishment and won't lose his public position.

  Cold sweat gradually emerged, Zhao Renshun's mind was fiercely struggling, he was uncertain, if the matter was handed over to the Discipline Inspection Commission afterwards, whether Huang Song would protect him or not. And even if Huang Song protected him, it was another question whether he could keep his position, after all, those expense reports did have problems, and Wang Jinggui couldn't cover everything up by himself, let alone Han Dong's backer Shen Congfei.

  But if all these are pushed onto Huang Song's body, saying that he ordered and instructed, then they would thoroughly offend Huang Song.

  Zou Gang now also understood the meaning of Han Dong, and secretly thought in his heart: "The director's move is too clever, no matter how Zhao Ren Shun chooses, it will be a huge blow to Huang Song."

  Huang Song turned over countless thoughts in his mind and finally made up his mind. "Director Han, let me say a few words."

  Han Dong raised an eyebrow and said calmly, "Speak."

  "As for the financial issues, since Director Huang has just taken office, I was originally planning to take some time to give you a detailed report." Huang Song's heart felt somewhat bitter, "Since Director mentioned this matter, I think I'll report to you after the meeting, what do you think?"

  Han Dong was somewhat surprised, this guy's attitude changed too quickly, admitting defeat so soon?

  The conference room was silent, Huang Song's words showed that he had already given in, while Han Dong had not expressed his stance and it was unclear whether he would pursue the matter to the end.

  Zhao Renshun let out a sigh of relief in his heart. Huang Song had indeed not given up on him, and he would definitely follow him closely from now on.

  Han Dong thought for a moment, even if he investigated to the bottom, the final result was probably still difficult to deal with Huang Song. The key issue now is to grasp the power of the Statistics Bureau, and other things are temporarily retreated as a concession. After all, he wasn't very clear about the situation in the county, and making too much noise might lead to unintended consequences.

  Appropriate compromise is still very necessary.

  "So you mean we should adjust the division of labor first and discuss financial issues separately later?"

  "I think so, of course, everything still depends on Director's decision."

  Huang Song had already calmed down in his heart. He had made the greatest concession, and if Han Dong continued to pursue him relentlessly, he would have no choice but to fight back.

  Ge Wenguodao: "Director, I think Director Huang's suggestion is feasible."

  "Alright. Let's discuss the division of labor first, Liu Cuifen will keep a record, and the office will notify middle-level cadres to come to the meeting." Han Dong said, turning his head to Huang Song: "In order for the work in the bureau to go smoothly, let's convey the spirit of the party group meeting later."

  Huang Song nodded, feeling bitter in his heart. He knew that Han Dong was taking the opportunity to strike at his prestige, but for his own long-term interests, he had to endure it.

  Zhao Renshun and Zou Gang walked out of the conference room, with two completely different moods. Zhao Renshun was feeling heavy-hearted, while Zou Gang had a sense of relief and relaxation.
