Siheyuan: Pioneer in anti-corruption, fighting against evil!

Chapter 705 Reaching Cooperation

"I have some friendship with Director Li of the Metallurgical Bureau. If you need any help, you can ask him for help."

Zhao Xiaolong told Zhang Xiaoyu in detail the information he knew and speculated, and Zhang Xiaoyu took notes carefully.

After hearing the report, Mr. Zhong was a little surprised, but he quickly returned to normal.

"commander!"

Mr. Zhong's words broke the silence for a moment. Zhang Xiaoyu saw that the other party seemed to be in a daze and couldn't help but sigh.

"Next one!"

The two returned to the situation of the Chu-Han confrontation, preparing for another game of chess.

Zhao Xiaolong had no intention of watching the chess game, but walked to the yard to accompany his children. What happened that afternoon made him unhappy with the man named Yan Jiefang. He was obviously provoking trouble. If he was there, he really wanted to go over and kick him a few times.

However, it was said that the Yan family transferred all the gifts they received to Yan Jiefang that afternoon, which surprised many people in the compound, and even he looked at him with admiration.

After basketball was invented, Zhao Xiaolong installed an iron frame under the yard and tied it under the locust tree as a playground for the children. The children quickly adapted to it, running and playing here, and even ignored the time to watch TV.

After dinner, Zhang Xiaoyu returned to the backyard with his son Xiao Shitou and his wife Li Cuihua. Neighbor Liu Yulan and her family also went home to rest.

After the TV show in the hall ended, the courtyard quickly returned to silence. As the night deepened, Zhao Xiaolong finished his housework and coaxed the children to sleep, then went to the study alone to read.

A lot of things have happened recently, and he has a lot of troubles, which makes him feel physically and mentally exhausted.

After sitting down, he made a cup of tea, opened a book on the table, stared at the night outside the window and listened to the chirping of insects, and his mood gradually calmed down.

"Structural design must take into account various factors, such as work efficiency and cost control..."

The book discusses the design principles of mechanical equipment. Although these theories are many years old, I still gain something every time I read it.

This experience of rereading old books and gaining new insights is exactly what the ancients often said about reviewing the past to learn new things.

The rustling sound of turning pages, the sound of pens scratching across paper, and the steady breathing fill the entire study with a quiet yet lively atmosphere.

After an unknown amount of time, the door was gently pushed open. He looked up and saw Li Fang walking in with a cup of hot tea.

"It's late, you should take a rest first."

Li Fang put the cup on the table, then walked behind Zhao Xiaolong and gently massaged his shoulders.

Zhao Xiaolong grabbed Li Fang's hand, feeling its warmth and tenderness.

"I didn't realize how fast time passed."

"I was like this when I was studying before. Sometimes I was so engrossed in reading that I even forgot the time."

“As a result, I couldn’t get up at all the next day.”

Li Fang leaned her head on his shoulder, and the two of them leaned against each other quietly.

Zhao Xiaolong lowered his head slightly and gave her a gentle kiss.

After a moment, Li Fang's face turned red.

"I have a gift for you."

Zhao Xiaolong remembered that this was a small item exchanged with points. It cost a lot, but it was certainly worth it for the one he loved.

Li Fang blushed after hearing this. "What gift? Is it so expensive?"

Zhao Xiaolong smiled and said, "Take a look for yourself."

He took out a small box from the bag beside him and handed it to Li Fang. The box was very delicate. Li Fang opened it, looked at it, and then quickly closed it, blushing and her heart beating fast.

"Oh, what are you doing..."

Li Fang slapped him in pretend anger.

Zhao Xiaolong said with a smile: "If you don't like it, forget it."

"I bought this for ten dollars. It would be a shame to throw it away."

Li Fang immediately stopped his action, took the gift, turned around and went into the room to try it out.

After actual contact, Li Fang found that the texture of this thing was indeed very good, and she couldn't help but secretly approve of this expense.

After everything was packed up, Zhao Xiaolong turned off the lights and went to wash up. When he returned to the bedroom, Li Fang's figure came into view under the moonlight. Her beautiful appearance made his breathing become rapid. At this moment, he felt that all his efforts were worth it.

As the saying goes, clothes make the man

"Going in circles?"

"Yes, as long as we catch the key person of the other party, we can follow the clues. As long as Zhang Xiaoyu is involved, it will be a success."

Su Yajing's mind suddenly became clear. This way, she didn't have to confront Zhang Xiaoyu head-on, and the risk was naturally reduced to a minimum.

And she could still stand aside and watch the Zhang family's situation becoming increasingly difficult, even declining, and she felt even happier in her heart.

Sha Zhu thought about it and gave Yi Jianguo a thumbs up, "The old ones are still the wisest. This trick is really brilliant."

Then he said to Su Yajing: "The old man is indeed experienced."

Su Yajing secretly complained in her heart, what's the use of being strong even in old age? She had tried it and it was completely useless.

"Well, since we've chosen to go around in circles we have to have a plan. Who should we look for first?"

After Su Yajing finished speaking, Sha Zhu and Yi Jianguo lowered their heads and began to think.

Indeed, this is a question worth pondering.

Since Zhang Xiaoyu and Li Zicheng reached a cooperation agreement, the machinery factory has stepped up its efforts, the workload has increased, and the materials required are half more than usual. In order to complete the task, everyone has to work overtime.

In this environment, the supply of special materials is much greater than before.

And this is exactly the trap set by Zhang Xiaoyu and his team.

Over the past few days, Lin Zuoxin arranged several people to monitor the machinery factory's every move around the clock.

Especially at the warehouse, with the help of Zhao Feng, the security personnel quietly set up controls around the warehouse without attracting anyone's attention.

Just as everyone was preparing to welcome the target's appearance, on the evening of May 5, the surveillance personnel finally made a discovery.

The people who met were Wang Li and Wu Gang.

Wu Gang, also known as Wu Dapao.

The next day, in the conference room, Zhang Xiaoyu looked at the names on the blackboard and was convinced that the direction of this action was correct. The small fish and shrimps before were just tools in Wu Gang's hands.

After the meeting, everyone went about their business, seemingly relaxed but actually on alert at all times.

Finally, on May 5, there was a major breakthrough.

In a hidden corner outside the warehouse, Lin Zuoxin looked at Wang Li who entered the warehouse with a smile on his face.

Zhang Xiaoyu watched Wang Li with mixed feelings. Liu Jianjun and Zhou Wenjie clenched their fists and finally found the problem.

After analysis, the situation became much simpler: whenever Wang Li received materials, the registered quantity was always less than the actual quantity received. This resulted in an increase in the scrap rate, even though the scrap rate was the same as that of other workshops, due to the reduction in quantity. The real key was that the staff responsible for material delivery and recycling had tampered with the records.

Conversations within the warehouse further reveal these secrets.

Later that day, Wang Zhiping took Zheng Qiang to check the progress of tasks in each workshop.

Although this is not a routine inspection, the workshop workers showed no abnormalities.
