Wu Lei led the investigation team to Xinshang Company, a subsidiary of Muguang Group. Like Xinsheng Company, this company is a construction engineering company. General Manager Wu Zhigang was one of the first senior managers to join Muguang Group when it was established.
Wu Zhigang personally led the company's middle and high-level personnel to greet him at the gate. Seeing Wu Lei and his entourage arriving, Wu Zhigang greeted them cordially: "Welcome to the group working group to come and guide the work. I am so happy to see you."
Wu Lei shook hands with Wu Zhigang and said calmly: "We are here to cause trouble. Mr. Wu, just don't bother us."
Wu Zhigang rolled his eyes and said: "How could it be? It's hard for us to write two characters of Wu in one stroke. I feel that you are like my younger brother, so affectionate. I have been looking forward to your coming, brother, so that we two brothers can have a happy life."
Let’s have a good chance to talk about it.”
Wu Lei smiled slightly: "There is definitely a chance for a talk, but I'm afraid you won't like the content of the talk, Mr. Wu."
Wu Zhigang was stunned for a moment, smiled awkwardly, and then made an invitation gesture towards the company door: "Brother Xian is joking again, let's go in first, everything is ready."
Wu Lei and his entourage, surrounded by people from Xinshang Company, walked into the company's door and saw a huge welcome banner hanging at the front desk. The company's front desk and several dignified and beautiful staff were also waiting for the arrival of the working group.
Provide guidance service immediately.
When I came to the conference room, I saw that the table was filled with all kinds of information, documents, files, financial vouchers...
"This is?!" Wu Lei asked doubtfully.
Wu Zhigang: "I know brother Xian that you need to know these things when you come here, so I have prepared them early to cooperate with your work."
Wu Lei nodded: "Mr. Wu is really thoughtful."
Wu Zhigang looked at the time and said: "I don't want to waste time. You can check and ask. People from all departments of our company are here. After checking for a while, I booked two tables next to me at noon. Let's have a good chat.
chat."
"Then there's no need..."
Wu Zhigang smiled: "Why are you and me so polite? Besides, we are like iron rice and steel. You also need to eat when you come to work. It is just a working meal, and it also promotes work communication."
Wu Lei no longer struggled with Wu Zhigang. At this time, he was more interested in the things on the table, and soon led the working group into the state.
After some investigation, Wu Lei quickly discovered the problem. For example, Xinshang Company also had the problem of privately increasing processing quantities for subcontractors. However, these things were left to the subcontractors, and Xinshang Company's project costs were not included.
How much has it dropped? It was also discovered that some key employees of Xinshang Company received additional bonuses in addition to their normal base salary and performance after group assessment. However, the source of these bonuses, human resources experience and financial experience were all explained.
Not coming out.
More and more problems were discovered, and Wu Zhigang hurriedly came to the conference room.
Wu Lei said: "Mr. Wu, you came just in time. I have something to ask you."
"Hey, dear brother, the work lunch is ready, how about we talk while eating?"
Wu Lei looked at the time and saw that it was only 11:40, and there was still some time before lunch time.
Wu Zhigang understood and immediately said: "There is still some time to walk from here. It will be just in time for everyone to sit down and drink tea."
Wu Lei declined again, but couldn't bear the enthusiasm of Wu Zhigang and everyone else, so he had to be pushed out of the company and headed for the restaurant next to him, half pushed and half pulled by Wu Zhigang.
When he arrived at the restaurant, Wu Lei found that the environment here was pretty good for the current new district. The private room Wu Zhigang booked was also very luxuriously decorated. Several cold dishes were already placed on the table. The portions were not large but the workmanship was exquisite.
Looking at these two tables, they are not just ordinary work meals.
"Mr. Wu, is this excessive?!" Wu Lei immediately asked.
Wu Zhigang: "There are problems with exceeding the standard. Today is a gathering of brothers and nothing else is involved."
After saying that, Wu Zhigang winked at the financial manager. The financial manager immediately took out several red envelopes from his bag and distributed them to Wu Lei and everyone in the working group.
"Mr. Wu, what are you doing?!" Wu Lei was surprised. Other members of the working group also looked at Wu Lei at this time, wondering what to do with these red envelopes.
"Brother Xian, it's not just New Year's Day, it's the Spring Festival soon. It's rare for you to come here. As a brother, I have to say no no matter what. Don't worry, these won't be deducted from the company's account. The money for this meal
There’s no need for the company to pay for it, and I won’t embarrass you.”
Wu Lei suddenly said sternly: "Mr. Wu, actually I wanted to ask you. We found that many middle and high-level personnel in the company usually receive extra bonuses. Where does this money come from? There are also these red envelopes. This meal money also has a source, right?
?”
With that said, Wu Lei threw the red envelope on the table with a bang.
Wu Zhigang looked at the red envelope and his eyes shrank slightly.
Wu Lei continued: "I also found that the company has assets, the short-term rental of equipment is not recorded in the accounts, and there are many places where the costs are passed on to subcontractors, but the cost that the company should pay is not less. In the middle
Where did the profits go?"
Wu Zhigang sternly said: "I have not embezzled a penny from the company, nor have I ever received bribes from subcontractors."
Wu Lei smiled: "Mr. Wu, I didn't say you were corrupt or bribery. But based on various information, I guess Mr. Wu, your company must have a small treasury. Those costs saved from subcontractors, subcontractors
All the things provided by the merchant are put here, right?"
Wu Lei hesitated for a moment, then said calmly: "Yes, how can we mobilize everyone's enthusiasm just by relying on the group's things? I am also thinking about everyone, in fact, it is also for the better development of the company's work."
"You are wrong!" Wu Lei suddenly exuded a compelling momentum: "Mr. Wu, if a large company like our group wants to operate healthily and develop sustainably, it must rely on a dynamic mechanism and a sound system.
System, fast process. I have to admit that you have your cleverness, but this kind of cleverness is just a little cleverness. It may work temporarily, but it is fatal in terms of the long-term development of the group."
"Are you criticizing me? You have also worked here, and you should know that there are many problems in the management and operation of the group. If everything was in accordance with the group's requirements, the work would have been impossible." Wu Zhigang said angrily.
Wu Lei: "If you think there is a problem with the group, you can make suggestions instead of messing around in private! Although you personally have not committed direct corruption or bribery, you are collectively embezzling."
"What do you mean? Are you planning to file a lawsuit against me in the group and have me undergo surgery?"
Wu Lei shook his head: "I just want to take care of business."
"Okay!" Wu Zhigang was a little angry: "I won't argue with you today. You are still in school when I am working on a big project. When will it be your turn to teach me. If you find out anything, just sue me.
If the group thinks there is something wrong with me, the worst possible outcome is to remove me from my position."
After saying that, Wu Zhigang left the work team and slammed the door.
A member of the working group approached Wu Lei and said, "Deputy Team Leader Wu, it's too tense with them. Isn't it bad?"
Wu Lei glanced at the man, smiled awkwardly and said: "If we want to be a good person, we can't do the tasks assigned to us by the group. This has just begun, and there will be more troubles in the future."
In the next few days, Wu Lei continued to lead the working group to investigate around the company. However, everyone's attitude towards them seemed to have become very unfriendly. On the surface, they were very cooperative, but Wu Lei felt the coldness of others, and sometimes he even thought about it.
No one was willing to give them directions when they wanted to pour a glass of water. This was all because of the incident at Xinshang Company, which made everyone stay away from Wu Lei.
However, Wu Lei did not dislike such an atmosphere. On the contrary, he felt that it could put aside all kinds of humanistic and sophisticated investigation problems. Soon, one problem after another was investigated. Problems like Xinshang and Xinsheng Company were almost
It is common. Even more serious, there are private negotiations with subcontracting companies to obtain kickbacks, and even a case of false subcontracting was discovered.
On the other side, Li Fei led a group of people to investigate various engineering projects and subcontractors, and also found many problems. Several engineering projects were stopped, and many projects were required to be reworked. At the same time, Li Fei
It was also discovered that some subcontractors deducted wages from employees due to financial problems, causing workers to be very resentful when working. How much better can the quality of the projects done under such emotions be?
Yuan Xiaowen compiled information from all parties and reported the working group's investigation to Bai Shuo. Judging from the investigation, the biggest problem was a real estate development company under the group. The company's current projects include demolition and housing projects.
A commercial building project, a commercial tourism project and a commercial residential project are also in reserve.
However, this company not only has a common problem among other companies, but the general manager openly demands benefits from the subcontractors. Even the subcontractors have spread that if they don't contribute the profits of the three points of the project, the project will not be passed.
.
Bai Shuo stood up and said, "That's outrageous!"
She turned to look at Liang Ying next to her and said with a wry smile: "Not long ago, we were still laughing at Fatty for being the boss and causing problems for the media company. Now it seems that we ourselves are too macro and too laissez-faire towards the people below.
become free."
Liang Ying sighed and said: "Yes, we usually pay attention to big things and rarely care about the specific operations of the company. Speaking of which, Muguang Group has been established for less than a year, but I didn't expect that we would just let it go.
With things like this, if some time passes and more projects are launched, I really don’t know what will happen.”
At this time, Yuan Xiaowen's cell phone vibrated. Yuan Xiaowen took one look and immediately picked up the phone. After briefly asking about the situation, Yuan Xiaowen reported to Bai Shuo and Liang Yinghui: "There is some bad news. Several elements
The company's top executives have all come to the group and want to resign en masse."
