Chapter 125 Knocking

When Wu Hao confirmed that everything was fine, he locked the floppy drive into the safe, then picked up the phone on the desk, quickly pressed out the phone number of Secretary Xia’s office, put the microphone in his ear, and quietly waited for Secretary Xia to answer the phone.

The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered it. Wu Hao waited for a long time until the busy voice came from the microphone before hanging up the phone. Wu Hao put down the phone, took out the address book from the drawer, picked up the microphone again, and was about to call Secretary Xia's secretary, a knocking sound came from outside the office.

When Wu Hao heard the knock on the door, he remembered that the office door had been locked from the inside. He put down the microphone casually, walked to the office door, opened the office door, and saw Lin Xuezheng standing outside the office door with a charming face. He turned around and walked towards the desk and asked, "Secretary Lin! Are you doing anything?"

Lin Xuezheng followed Wu Hao into Wu Hao's office and reported to Wu Haohui with respect: "Wu Ji! Director Wen Zehai of the Municipal Finance Bureau and Director Xue of the Economic and Trade Bureau are outside the office. Who do you see first?"

When Wu Hao heard this, he always had a look of frowning or smiling, and said to Lin Xuezheng: "You ask them to wait outside for a while. I have an important thing to deal with here."

After Lin Xuezheng arrived at the office in the morning, he heard some cadres in the municipal party committee discussing the investigation team was trapped in the fire last night, and Wu Hao rushed to the fire overnight to take charge of the command. Although he was not sure about the cause and effect of the fire, now seeing the expression on Wu Hao's face, he understood that the fire yesterday was very difficult. When Lin Xuezheng heard Wu Hao's words, he immediately nodded and replied respectfully: "Wu Ji! Then I'll go out first." As he said that, he bent and quit Wu Hao's office.

Wu Hao looked at the office door being closed, picked up the microphone again and quickly pressed out Secretary Xia’s mobile phone number, then leaned against the chair, quietly waiting for the call to be answered.

Not long after, Secretary Xia came from the phone and asked in a low voice: "Hello! Where is it?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Hao smiled slightly and asked politely: "Secretary Ye! Hello! I am Wu Hao from the Minnan Municipal Party Committee. Is Secretary Xia here?"

"It's Wu Ji! Hello! Hello! Secretary Xia is here, are you asking him to answer the phone?" Secretary Ye's tone became much more friendly when he heard Wu Hao's words, and said to Wu Hao with a smile.

When Wu Hao heard Secretary Ye's words, he smiled and said, "Thank you Secretary Ye! I have important things to report to Secretary Xia, so please hand him the phone."

"Okay! Wu Ji! Please wait!" Secretary Ye said this, and the phone immediately became quiet.

Wu Hao didn't wait long, and Secretary Xia's kind and rigorous voice came from the phone: "Xiao Wu! I am on the way to Xiahai City now. Is the fire a sign of something?"

Wu Hao heard Secretary Xia’s voice and immediately reported it; "Secretary Xia! The cause of the fire is still under investigation, but according to the introduction of Comrade Guo Tianhe, the captain of the first group of the investigation team, because when they investigated an import and export trading company under the Far East Group last night, they found that the company was likely to use the customs documents to smuggle the goods. The fire was obviously targeted at the members of the investigation team. The current opinion given by the investigation team is to use these customs documents to go to the customs authorities for verification, but I rejected it. This company dares to blatantly use fake customs documents in recent years. I guess there must be collusion between inside and outside. In order not to alert the enemy, I just met with Director Zhang of the investigation team and planned to ask you for a detailed return at noon, and then find the provincial customs to check the documents."

"Xiao Wu! Today is the unveiling ceremony of Xiahai World Expo Park. I am on the way to Xiahai City. If you want to report, come directly to Xiahai City. I probably have time after lunch. It is less than an hour from Minnan City to Xiahai City. You can finish your meal in Minnan City and come over." Secretary Xia thought for a while when he heard Wu Hao's words.

When Wu Hao heard Secretary Xia’s explanation, he immediately replied respectfully: “Secretary Xia! Then let’s come over after lunch.” As he said that, Wu Hao said goodbye to Secretary Xia, and then called Zhang Liang, and then notified Director Xu of the Finance Bureau to come in by phone.

Not long after, Director Xu walked into Wu Hao's office carefully. When he saw Wu Hao sitting at the desk, he quickly asked respectfully.

Wu Hao looked at the timid Director Xu, reached out to signal him to sit down opposite his desk, and said with a rigorous look on his face: "Director Xu! I heard that you have a job to report to me. Now you can tell me what specific job it is!"

Director Xu touched Wu Hao's stern eyes, and his originally uneasy mood immediately became even more nervous. He wiping his face with his hands restlessly, and suddenly found that he was holding sweat all over his hands, not knowing where to look at his eyes, his head buzzed, and the most hateful thing was that his legs were trembling a little.

When Wu Hao saw Director Xu restless and trepidated, he asked Director Xu calmly, "Director Xu! Are you here to report on your work or do something? Do I just make you feel so scary?"

"No...no Wu Ji! You are a very young and promising Ji, but I don't know what to do. Every time I see you, I feel a sense of fear unconsciously." Director Xu replied in a complimentary tone when he heard Wu Hao's words.

Although Director Xu was very nervous, his answers were very skillful. He flattered Wu Hao without any trace in a few simple words.

Wu Hao's face was rigorous, but his tone became a little calmer, and he said, "Okay! You don't have to flatter me around the bush. Let's talk about the serious matter now! Director Xu! If your memory is pretty good, you should remember that you once gave Jin Xingyu a total of 20,000 yuan in order to maintain the position of the Finance Director, right?"

Director Xu was so scared that he couldn't breathe even when he heard Wu Hao's words. His face, which had just calmed down, instantly turned pale. He pressed his underwear tightly against his back in cold sweat, which made him subconsciously make a chill. He didn't expect Wu Hao to know about this, and at the same time he captured a very important message from Wu Hao's words. After all, there was no third person who could know about the money except himself and Jin Xingyu himself, but Wu Hao knew so accurately. The only thing that Jin Ji did not escape at the desk like the rumors outside.

Director Xu lowered his head timidly, not daring to look at Wu Hao's rigorous face in front of him, and replied incoherently: "Wu Ji! The reason why I gave money to Jin Ji was forced to do so was forced. I knew that bribery was illegal, but if I hadn't done that at the beginning, I would no longer be the director of the Finance Department. Wu Ji! You have never been a middle-level cadre, so you don't understand the pressure we middle-level cadres have to face. I know that none of this can be an excuse for me to bribe. In the past two years, I have not slept peacefully for the 20,000 yuan thing, but now it's finally done. The stone that has been squeezed in my heart for more than two years can finally be put down. Wu Ji! I will take the initiative to go to the Discipline Inspection Commission to explain the matter clearly."

Seeing the desired effect, Wu Hao's face gradually eased, and said in a plain tone: "Director Xu! Do you know why I saw you first? That's because of your work performance over the years. You are a very capable cadre. If a cadre like you is invited to have coffee by the discipline inspection for such a thing, it would be a loss. Our cadres in southern Minnan City are all very capable, and there are many cadres who are stronger than you. But so far, I know that you are the most suitable candidate for the position of the Municipal Finance Bureau. I can pretend that things have not happened in the past, but I hope you can use this as a warning message and remind yourself at all times, OK! This matter has come to an end now. Now let's get back to the point of getting back to the story of your Finance Bureau!"

Director Xu quickly savored the true meaning of Wu Hao's words in his heart. Now he finally truly experienced Wu Hao's leadership art, which made him admire Wu Hao in addition to admiring him. He stood up respectfully from Wu Hao's desk and answered confidently: "Wu Ji! Thank you for your magnanimity. I can't describe my feelings at this moment. The only thing I can say is that Wu Ji, please wait and see everything." Then he carefully considered it, and gave Wu Hao a report on the progress of the work of the Finance Bureau in a verbal manner.

Wu Hao listened carefully to Director Xu's introduction to the finances of Minnan City to him. Although the two had only talked for more than half an hour, Director Xu's introduction was several times more detailed than the written reports Wu Hao had read before, which gave Wu Hao a new understanding of the financial problems of Minnan City. He also made instructions with Director Xu to conduct research on several counties and cities in the jurisdiction of Minnan City in a week. Then, when Director Xu was preparing to leave, he asked him to call Director Xue, who had been waiting outside.

Not long after, Director Xue knocked on the door and walked into Wu Hao's office. Wu Hao looked at the bald fat man in front of him with a charming smile, and felt disgusted. He did not ask Director Xue to sit down, but asked directly: "Director Xue! I heard that you have a job to report to me. Now you will tell me what specific job is?"

When Director Xue heard Wu Hao's words, he quickly took out a piece of materials from his bag and delivered them to Wu Hao's desk with both hands, and reported respectfully: "Wu Ji! Although the financial crisis has passed, due to the negative impact of the financial crisis, and although many export companies in our city have gradually recovered, a large number of companies are still in a stagnant state. In order to help these companies overcome this difficulty, our Economic and Trade Bureau is preparing to hold an investment promotion conference. This is our plan."
