(21) Clearly, the Vermin has locked onto the Manor Lord
Master Zhou waved the list in his hand and said angrily,"Yes, there are not a few bags, but there isn't enough cement in each bag! Standard cement was manufactured. A bag of cement weighed 50 kilograms plus or minus one. But a bag of cement weighing 35 kilograms was not enough! Hundreds of tons of cement! If they were all this heavy, even a primary school student would be able to calculate the difference. Deputy General Manager, if you don't believe me, I have a scale here. Let me weigh it for you."
Old Zhou asked two people to carry out the weighing scale. Five bags to a pound weighed a few pounds. On average, each bag of cement weighed about 70 catties. There were inspectors in the cement factory who would check the bags regularly. In some cases, it was normal for it to float by one or two catties. A ton of cement was not enough. It was impossible for the error to be too big.
Ah Fu suppressed her anger and said to Ah Man,"Ah Man, very good! Deal with it as you see fit. Leave this cement to the construction team. If they used the ingredients according to the standard, how could the quality of the project be guaranteed! Investigate the problem first and don't use violence. I still have to go to the village to do something. I'll leave first.”
In front of the truth, Ah Sen was dumbfounded. He hurriedly explained,"Deputy general manager, brother-in-law. They deliver the goods according to the number of bags. I didn't know that the quantity was so small. Brother-in-law, manager, I'll go back and find them now. I'll ask them for an explanation. Ask them to double the compensation."
Ah Fu ignored Ah Sen and said to Ol 'Zhou,"Master Zhou, you did well. He had to explain the cement to the construction team clearly. He didn't want to look for responsibility after the project was completed.”
Ah Fu glared at Ah Man and left. Ah Man looked at Ah Fu's eyes, and his face fell. He felt as if he had eaten a dead fly. Ah Man was the person Ah Fu trusted the most. Such a thing happened to his relative. Ah Man was embarrassed and embarrassed. He was furious.
Ah Man went forward and snatched the bag from Ah Sen's hand. After taking out all the documents and counting them, he angrily reprimanded Ah Sen,"A dog can't change its habit of eating sh * t. Hand over your phone. I don't dare to trouble you anymore. Go home and rest. Wait for the results of the research. Didn't you see the way Brother Ah Fu looked at me? I don't even have a place to put my face. I wish there was a hole in the ground for me to crawl into. When I get to the bottom of this, I'll teach you a lesson.”
Ah Sen was really dumbfounded and did not dare to be arrogant anymore. He lowered his head and listened obediently to Ah Man's scolding.
Ah Man took out his phone and dialed the cement factory's number. He said angrily,"Hello, is this Boss Li? Come to the villa construction site and take a look at your cement. Hurry up. I'm waiting for you here."
Ah Sen looked at Ah Man on the phone in a daze. If Boss Li came, he would be exposed. Ah Sen said to Ah Man while trembling,"Brother-in-law, I'll go home and wait for you.”
" Don't go yet," Ah Man said sternly." Boss Li will come up in a while. I want to see what you're doing." What the hell are you guys doing?"
After waiting anxiously for more than an hour, Mr. Li drove up. Mr. Li got out of the car and asked Man,""Manager Zhou called me up in a hurry. What's wrong with my cement? Didn't you personally go to the factory to take a look when you ordered? Is there a problem?"
Ah Man pulled Boss Li to the scale and said,"Boss Li, take a look for yourself. How much less is this ton of cement? The cement factory isn't just yours. I just need to make a call to that cement factory. I only used your cement because we have a good relationship, but you! You're harming your friends!"
Boss Li was also dumbfounded when he saw the scale. Boss Li smiled and said,"Manager Zhou, don't be angry. How could this be? Is this cement from our factory?“
"Look," said Ah Man,"is this the delivery order issued by your factory?”
Boss Li took the delivery order and looked at it. It was really the receipt issued by his brother-in-law. The cement bags were also packaged in their factory.
Boss Li said,"This matter was all handled by my brother-in-law." Manager Zhou, don't be anxious. This has never happened in our factory. I'll make up for it twice as much as it is. I know Manager Zhou is taking care of my small factory. I'll go back and investigate this matter immediately. I'll definitely give you a satisfactory answer.”
"Well, if you want to work together for a long time, you have to be sincere. I'll wait for Boss Li's news. Give me a refund. I'll ask someone else for the goods. None of these brothers-in-law were good.”
Boss Li went back and called his brother-in-law to investigate immediately. His brother-in-law told Boss Li,"Brother-in-law, Manager Zhou's assistant, Ah Sen, asked me to write a receipt for him. It might be that Ah Sen bought cement from a vendor outside the factory. I don't know anything else.”
Boss Li quickly called Ah Man and said,""Manager Zhou, I asked my brother-in-law. This matter really has nothing to do with us. You should ask your assistant, Ah Sen. He bought the cement himself from the peddler outside the factory. He asked my brother-in-law to give him the receipt. Those few tons of cement didn't come from my factory. When there's a shortage of cement, the peddlers outside will stock up and make money by pulling out bags and selling them. Ah Sen knows about this. Ask him what's going on.”
"Boss Li, if that's really the case, then I've wronged Boss Li." I apologize to Boss Li!”
Boss Li smiled and said,"Hehe, Manager Zhou, you don't have to apologize." It's also my brother-in-law's fault for casually issuing our documents. Manager Zhou, we still have to continue our cooperation, hehe. We can't let such a small matter affect the friendship between friends!”
Ah Man said,"Don't worry, Boss Li. We still need your cement, hehe."”
Ah Man personally went to the cement vendor and pretended to buy cement to bargain with the vendors. Ah Man learned from the peddler that the peddler took a portion of the cement from the standard cement bag and packed it into a bag. They had all kinds of brands, including several bags from the cement factory. According to the customer's needs, they could take more or less, and the portion that was taken out could be divided with the person who wanted the goods. If the customer couldn't get the receipt, they could help them get it. The person who wanted the goods had to pay more. They could get the tax receipt so that Ah Man could buy their cement. The peddler also said that a customer had ordered 30 tons two days ago. Five tons had already been shipped away. How much money had he earned?
Ah Man knew that the peddler was talking about Ah Sen when he heard that. He was so angry that his teeth were itching! Ah Man came back and reported the whole incident to Ah Fu.
In fact, neither Ah Man nor Boss Li knew that Ah Sen was in cahoots with Boss Li's brother-in-law. The two of them discussed buying cement from the peddler and sending it to the construction site. Then, they would sell the cement in the factory. Boss Li's brother-in-law was responsible for issuing the receipt, and the benefits were divided equally between the two. The two of them were still dreaming of earning thousands of tons of cement! He didn't expect the meticulous Old Zhou to expose him at the beginning. When the truth was out, Boss Li's brother-in-law pushed him away. He had to remove everything. Without any losses, Ah Sen dug a hole and buried himself.
Ah Man asked Ah Fu," Brother Fu, this is all Ah Sen's doing. How do you think we should deal with this?"”
Ah Fu said with a serious face,"Ah Man, we're all our closest relatives. How dare you do such a heartless thing?" We're just starting. We're using other people's money to earn money. Conniving and nurturing a traitor is conniving. What are we going to do in the future? Everyone wants to take advantage of the situation. How are we going to manage and restrain our employees? The more one was on their own side, the more severe the punishment would be. They would be investigated for losses and expelled. Let everyone take a look and take a warning.”
The progress of the project was not very fast. Many of the terrains were dangerous and difficult to climb, and the mountain roads were rugged. The materials had to be manually transported up bit by bit. The rainy season was coming soon, and the construction would be even more difficult once the rainy season arrived. The dam was 120 meters long and 20 meters wide. A three-story house made of stone and wood would be built on top of the levee, and more than ten bridge holes would be built below. They also had to install gates. Once the rainy season came, the mountain torrents would gather and form a natural dam. A man-made lake with a few dozen acres of mountain spring water, and a miniature island on the surface of the water. There were railings, pavilions, and small thatched huts on the island. The buildings on the island had to be completed before the rainy season. Ah Fu spent every day on the construction site supervising the progress and watching the weather forecast.
Ah Fu was a model in the village. Village Chief Cui attached great importance to the progress of the villa's construction and often came to help solve difficult problems. One day, Village Chief Cui came to the hillside construction site to inspect and talked to Ah Fu about the opposite mountain, Knife Head Mountain. Village Chief Cui suggested that Ah Fu also book Knife Head Mountain.
Village Chief Cui said to Ah Fu,"Ah Fu, the mountain on the other side is too steep and no one can take it." As for the contract fees, the village research had greatly reduced them. It was as good as picking them up for free. There were also large wild mulberry trees on the mountainside. Mulberries were very expensive. Because the mountain was so dangerous that there was no road, it was called Blade Head Mountain. Ah Fu, think about it. If you want to give me an answer as soon as possible.”
Ah Fu said,"Village Chief Cui, I want to talk to Chuanzi about this matter and ask for his opinion." I'll let you know in two or three days if you want to reserve the mountain.”
Village Chief Cui said," Oh, I've often heard you talk about this person called Chuanzi. He's a mysterious person. I heard from your uncle that this Chuanzi was also a student from your village. I heard that his level is very high now."
Ah Fu said,"That year, the three of us went out for the college entrance examination in our village. I was the only one who came back." All the capable people in our village have gone out. Chuanzi is very capable."
Village Chief Cui said," Is that so? I heard that the position of general manager of your villa is still empty. It's reserved for this Chuan Zi, right?" I've seen your villa's design blueprint. It's really from your hands! I knew that there must be a capable person supporting you, Ah Fu. Alright, this Chuan Zi is also a hero of our village. It would be even better if he could come back and contribute to the construction of his hometown.”
Ah Fu said," Nothing can be hidden from the eyes of the township head. Chuanzi majored in advanced economic management. After many years of experience, his vision was unique and his thinking was very advanced. The funds and blueprints of the villa were all handled by Chuanzi. I, Ah Fu, don't have the guts to do such a big thing! The position of general manager was reserved for Chuanzi, but he hadn't agreed yet! Everything we do now is under Chuanzi's control. He must be the general manager of the villa. Even if I have to force it on him, I will force it on him. It's my blessing that Chuanzi is coming back to guard the villa!”
Village Chief Cui laughed and said,"Alright, Ah Fu, it's not easy for you to pull this Chuanzi in!" Having capable people was hope! Very good. I specifically mentioned your villa in my report to the county committee, but I never reported it. Ah Fu! You must show me your results! There are also a few mountain villas in the county. You have to give me some face in the county!”
Ah Fu said,"Don't worry, Village Chief Cui. We won't disappoint you."”
Ah Fu accompanied Village Chief Cui to the construction site as they watched and talked.
