CHAPTER 51

On Wednesday morning, Zhou Haiguang walked into the office with a gloomy face. He glanced at Xu Fuhai's desk, which was clean and tidy, except for the person. "Where's Xu Fuhai? Why haven't I seen him these past two days? Did he take a leave? Does he still want to work?!"

Zhou Haiguang asked the three people in the room while roaring. They were shocked by Zhou Haiguang's expression, wondering why he was so angry today. "Director Zhou..., Brother Xu has been busy with special financial inspections these past two days, usually at the bank. He mentioned this when he came over yesterday."

Ma Xiaoxiao explained timidly. "He's busy as hell! I think he's just using this as an excuse! There's no need to stay there every day for a special financial inspection! Call him immediately and ask him to come back to work! Ma Xiaoxiao, you call!"

Zhou Haiguang said angrily. "Okay...Okay, Director."

Ma Xiaoxiao said, and quickly picked up her phone to call Xu Fuhai. "Call him on the landline!"

Zhou Haiguang scolded. Ma Xiaoxiao was startled, and quickly put down her mobile phone, picked up the landline and started dialing! "Tell him to come directly to my office when he comes back. I'm going to report to the director now!"

Zhou Haiguang said this coldly, and walked out of the office, slamming the door shut. The three people in the room shuddered in fear and looked at each other. After a while, Ma Xiaoxiao pointed in the direction of the door, looked at Li Hui and asked quietly, "Sister Hui, what's going on? Why is the director so angry today?"

Hearing Ma Xiaoxiao's words, Li Hui chuckled a few times and said, "You ask me, how would I know? Maybe Director Zhou is about to reach menopause."

Zhang Mingzhe sat in front of the computer, pretending to work on a document. Listening to the conversation between the two people, he shrank his neck and thought to himself that this Sister Li was really bold. The leader was so angry, but she dared to make fun of him behind his back! Forget it, keep a low profile! At this juncture, you must not offend the leader. The less presence you have, the better. However, Old Xu is in trouble now. Director Zhou was in a bad mood and was used as a punching bag. He will suffer in the end. Ma Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue and quickly called Xu Fuhai. "Hello?"

Xu Fuhai's voice came from the other end of the phone, sounding a little breathless, which made Ma Xiaoxiao blush. "This Xu brother, you wouldn't do that kind of thing in broad daylight, would you?"

Ma Xiaoxiao listened to Xu Fuhai's heavy breathing, and her mind was full of thoughts. "Brother Xu, I'm Xiaoxiao, where are you now? Is it convenient to talk?"

Ma Xiaoxiao asked politely. "Oh, I'm... huhu... working out now, Xiaoxiao, do you... need anything?"

On the other end of the phone, Xu Fuhai was sweating profusely, burning fat like crazy on the treadmill. "Oh, Brother Xu, I'm so sorry to bother you. Director Zhou just came to see you. He asked you to come over now and wait for him in his office. He...seems quite angry."

Ma Xiaoxiao thought about it and couldn't help but remind Xu Fuhai. "That's it. Okay, got it. I'll be there in a minute. If you have nothing else, hang up now."

Xu Fuhai said with a smile. After hanging up the phone, Ma Xiaoxiao recalled Xu Fuhai's tone just now, as if nothing had happened, and couldn't help but envy him from the bottom of her heart. It's working hours, and he just said he was working out without even finding an excuse? However, thinking of Xu Fuhai's luxury car and the female driver dressed in designer clothes, Ma Xiaoxiao felt that her worries were a bit redundant. Yes, Lao Xu is so rich now, he probably doesn't care about this job at all. Ma Xiaoxiao was thinking about it in her heart, and Sister Hui opposite her suddenly asked: "Hey, Xiaoxiao, what did Lao Xu say?"

"He said... he was working out and would be here soon."

After hesitating for a while, Ma Xiaoxiao still told the truth. "Ah? Fitness? Old Xu is too brave, this is working hours!"

After hearing what Ma Xiaoxiao said, before Li Hui could say anything, Zhang Mingzhe started yelling. "This Old Xu, hey."

Li Hui sighed and said nothing. On the other side, Zhou Haiguang came to the door of Director Chen's office and knocked on the door before entering. Director Chen was sitting at his desk reading documents. When he saw Zhou Haiguang hurried over, he raised his head and asked dignifiedly, "What's the matter? Why are you so flustered?"

At this moment, Zhou Haiguang was like an ant on a hot pot. He didn't care about the usual rules. He stood in front of the desk and said angrily: "Director Chen, there is something I must tell you. Someone wants to use the special financial inspection to mess with me!"

Last night, Zhou Haiguang received a call from an acquaintance, telling him to be careful. The special financial inspection team seemed to be checking several accounts of their unit, which involved him. After receiving this call, Zhou Haiguang did not sleep all night, thinking about those things over and over again. I thought I had done it perfectly, and it had been so long, but I didn't expect that it would be dug up again! Zhou Haiguang thought about it for a whole night, but he couldn't figure out who was targeting him, and finally decided to take the initiative. No matter what, let's get things cleared up first. He is not afraid of someone messing with him. After so many years in Fu City, he also has some connections of his own. However, this matter is strange. He thought it was a routine job, but who would have thought that there would be problems here? It's not that he didn't think of Xu Fuhai, but it was rejected in a flash. Old Xu is just an ordinary employee. He has been honest for so many years. He doesn't have the courage and ability. Director Chen looked at Zhou Haiguang, who was standing in front of him with red eyes, and said expressionlessly: "Don't get excited. What do you mean someone is messing with you? If you have no problems, who dares to mess with you? Who can mess with you? Sit down and talk first."

"Director, I'm not excited. You said I have worked in our unit for so many years. Even if I have no credit, I have worked hard. I don't know which bastard actually used this job to cause trouble. How insidious is this person!"

Zhou Haiguang said angrily. "Don't worry. A person with a clear conscience is not afraid of his own shadow. If you don't come to me, I will talk to you about this matter later. The comrades from the special task force will come to you to understand and verify some basic information. You must pay attention to your attitude and cooperate with the investigation. Don't get emotional! I still say that if you have no problems, you don't have to worry about anyone investigating. The bureau and I are your strong backers!"

After listening to Director Chen's words, Zhou Haiguang felt even more uncertain. Although Director Chen's words sounded righteous, they actually contained no useful information. "Director, I..." Zhou Haiguang was about to say something, but Director Chen simply waved his hand, signaling him to go back to the office and wait, and not to go too far. Zhou Haiguang was furious, walked out of the director's office, and returned to his own office without saying a word. The three people in the outer room also noticed that Zhou Haiguang was not in a good state. They were all busy with their work and did not dare to say a word. "Where's Xu Fuhai? Why hasn't he come yet?"

After a while, Zhou Haiguang glanced at Xu Fuhai's desk and found that he hadn't arrived yet. He immediately got angry and asked, "Ma Xiaoxiao, have you called? Does he still want to work in this class?"

Zhou Haiguang was so angry that he slammed the table and asked, "I've called him, and he said...he said he'll be here in a while."

Ma Xiaoxiao watched Zhou Haiguang get angry and was so scared that she kept explaining. "Hit him again! Ask him where he is now!"

Zhou Haiguang shouted loudly. Ma Xiaoxiao nodded repeatedly, and just as she was about to pick up the landline to make a call, the office door was suddenly pushed open. The three of them looked towards the door together, and saw Xu Fuhai, who was dressed in casual clothes, walking in at a leisurely pace. Seeing Xu Fuhai, the eyes of several people lit up, as if they couldn't believe their eyes. Xu Fuhai, who had obviously lost a lot of weight, looked very good, and the whole person seemed to be several years younger, and even had a faint feeling of handsomeness! It's only been a few days since we last met, how could there be such a big change? At this moment, Xu Fuhai looked younger than Zhou Haiguang, who was five years younger than him! They wanted to say a few words to him, but in this atmosphere, none of the three dared to speak. "Brother Xu, Director Zhou is waiting for you in the inner room, please go in quickly."

Ma Xiaoxiao reminded quietly. "Got it."

Xu Fuhai smiled and nodded at her, then put a large bag in his hand on Ma Xiaoxiao's table. "I brought you some delicious food, please help share it."

Ma Xiaoxiao looked at the oversized bag on her desk, which was filled with bags of exquisite imported snacks. She was immediately very happy and whispered, "Thank you, Brother Xu. Director Zhou is not in a good mood. Be careful when you go in."

Xu Fuhai smiled and nodded, then walked towards the inner room. "Director, I'm here. What's up?"

Xu Fuhai stood at the door and looked at Zhou Haiguang. Zhou Haiguang raised his head, looked at Xu Fuhai for a few times, snorted and said, "Xu Fuhai, you are quite leisurely. What time is it that you come to work? I asked you what you have been doing?"

As if he had expected Zhou Haiguang to ask him this, Xu Fuhai asked back with a strange expression: "Special financial inspection, Director, isn't this the task you assigned to me? You also told me to focus on that part before this work is completed."

After listening to Xu Fuhai's words, Zhou Haiguang could no longer suppress his anger. He slammed the table and said, "Who told you that you can skip work if you participate in the special inspection?! Besides, you have been there for so many days. How much work have you done? Don't think I don't know. I think you are skipping work under the pretext of the inspection!"

"Zhou Haiguang, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want! You said I didn't do my job? Then let me tell you about the special financial inspection! Speaking of which, I have been studying the business and carrying out my work seriously these days, and I have indeed discovered several major problems. For example, the batch of computers purchased in May last year, after careful review by me and the special team, we found that there were problems with the qualifications of the supplier. In addition, the purchase price was 40% more expensive than the same model products on the market. There were also some non-compliant procedures for the travel expenses of 290,000 yuan in July last year..." Xu Fuhai said lightly, but Zhou Haiguang's face became uglier and uglier! Before Xu Fuhai finished speaking, he stood up with a "whoosh", staring at Xu Fuhai with red eyes, and said with gritted teeth: "Xu~~Fu~~Hai!"

The office door suddenly opened, and a voice came from the door. "Director Zhou, Director Chen wants you to go to the small conference room upstairs for a meeting!"
