The Audit Bureau put it simply, it is an accounting supervision agency of a government agency, so its working style is very similar to that of an accounting department. It is usually absent, but once the audit inspection is at the end of the year, it will run like crazy. This is what Chen Ping has to face after taking office as the Luzhuang Audit Bureau for half a month.

This audit work seems to be about reviewing all the uses of public funds, but in the current official environment, this thing is just a formality. Otherwise, grassroots audit bureaus like Luzhuang would not have started to audit the financial situation of the government and enterprises and institutions this year before half of this year were over. Of course, there is also an argument. After all, the audit results of grassroots audit bureaus must be reported to the National Audit Office through the Municipal Audit Bureau and the Provincial Audit Office. Therefore, in order not to delay the central government's summary, local grassroots audit units must carry out audit work in advance.

Although the name Luzhuang is a city, it also comes from the expansion of power of county-level cities, so it still belongs to a grassroots unit. Then Luzhuang's audit work naturally needs to start in advance.

Like other units, facing this year's most important and the best time to use financial audits to extort other administrative units, the Audit Bureau naturally needs to hold a meeting to express it before the audit work begins.

Chen Ping is the director of the Audit Bureau and the best candidate to preside over the meeting. The meeting was arranged in the best standing committee meeting hall in the municipal government building. Chen Ping sat in the top position and said to the microphone in front of him: "For our Audit Bureau, the annual audit work is the top priority of our work. I believe that for everyone who has worked in the Audit Bureau for so many years, this issue no longer needs to be repeated too much. Let Director Guo of the office read out your work tasks assignments, and everyone applauds and welcomes you."

Guo Mingji, director of the Audit Bureau’s office, who was named by Chen Ping, said: “I am very grateful to Director Chen for giving me this opportunity to read it out. Although Director Chen is the new director, I believe that Director Chen will be able to lead our Audit Bureau well and let our Audit Bureau have a new atmosphere!”

After taking Chen Ping's flattery, Guo Mingji officially began to assign work tasks to each unit. In fact, this assignment of work tasks is very simple. After all, every department in the Audit Bureau has his specific audit target based on his name, so the assignment of tasks in the office is nothing more than allowing cadres from all departments to review the names of their departments.

Originally, according to the audit meeting of the Audit Bureau, after the work tasks were assigned, Chen Ping could give up the meeting after giving some encouragement, but today it was a little different.

After Guo Mingji finished speaking, Zhang Xiaodong, deputy director of the Audit Bureau, suddenly interrupted: "Director Chen, please allow me to interrupt here."

Zhang Xiaodong is the second-in-command of the Audit Bureau. In the agency, the second-in-command is actually the most depressed. He has a high status and great power, but he is suppressed by the top leader, so he doesn't want to kill the top leader and replace him. So now, looking at Zhang Xiaodong's appearance, it is obvious that Zhou Qian promised something and then rushed out to be cannon fodder.

What should come will come sooner or later, and you will never be able to hide.

Chen Ping thought so in his heart, and then nodded to Zhang Xiaodong. After receiving Chen Ping's approval, Zhang Xiaodong said: "I believe everyone has heard what Director Guo said just now. Although we are doing audit work every year, I still want to emphasize some things here that audit work is the key to ensuring that administrative public funds are not abused. Therefore, I hope that everyone can be serious and responsible in their future work, and the purpose of each administrative fund must be verified clearly. Every account must be carefully inspected to resolutely eliminate any favoritism and fraud. Do you understand?"

Everyone answered Zhang Xiaodong in unison: "I understand!"

Chen Ping glanced at Zhang Xiaodong. Although Zhang Xiaodong's righteous words were clichés, Chen Ping knew that since he stood up at this time, he would definitely have other stories later.

As expected, just when Chen Pingtung was thinking this way, Zhang Xiaodong continued: "Director Chen and all the cadres and comrades, although our work is very important, I think everything should be prioritized. In our audit work this time, I think we should focus on the most stringent audit of Luzhuang state-owned enterprises."

Chen Ping heard this and said, "Why did Director Zhang say that? Does Director Zhang think that our Audit Bureau was too relaxed in the audit work of state-owned enterprises?"

Chen Ping's words were like a slap, slapped Zhang Xiaodong in the face, embarrassing him in front of all his subordinates. However, Chen Ping was the top leader of the Audit Bureau supported by the Municipal Party Committee Secretary. Even if he really scolded him, he could only bear it.

I have to say that Zhang Xiaodong is the deputy director of the Audit Bureau in his forties and is also a member of Zhou Qian's relationship, so his endurance is still OK.

After several breathing adjustments, Zhang Xiaodong smiled and said to Chen Ping: "Director Chen, this is the case, because not long ago, I received a report from the public that some state-owned enterprises used their power for personal gain and made malicious losses in their operations, and then tried every means to put the money lost by the state into their own pockets."

Speaking of this, Zhang Xiaodong paused and then continued: "I think this is a very serious illegal act. As the supervisory unit of state-owned enterprises, our Audit Bureau must strictly audit every account of state-owned enterprises in accordance with laws and regulations. We cannot allow the wealth of the Party and the country to flow into the hands of some criminals! We must be the last line of defense for the Party and the country!"

Zhang Xiaodong's words were very passionate. If he could really do what he said, then there would not be so many abuses in government agencies and institutions, and there would not be any harm to public funds in state-owned enterprises and institutions that would harm public and private affairs.

Of course, Chen Ping was very clear about the meaning behind Zhang Xiaodong's words. He was just deliberately raising this question so that he could carry out political struggles with righteousness and push himself to touch the dark side of state-owned enterprises that the audit bureau had always had to circumvent.

Chen Ping's parents were employees of Shagang Textile Factory. He himself had been in the officialdom for several years, so he knew very well that although the officialdom was in a state-owned state, fortunately, the agency had a discipline inspection commission to supervise it. Even if it was just a form, it was better than that of state-owned enterprises without supervision. Because of this, cadres of state-owned enterprises have always been rampant, and even many activities that harmed the public and benefited the private sector were much more blatant than those in the officialdom.

Of course, saying that state-owned enterprises have no supervision does not mean that they really have no supervision agencies. In fact, the Audit Bureau, the Discipline Inspection Commission and even the Industry and Commerce can supervise state-owned enterprises, but the problem is that no one dares to supervise.

Many people say that the agency has been monopolized by the second generation of officials, and all the civil servant quotas are specially prepared for the children of leaders. This is true, but not all. In fact, most officials with real strong relationships are willing to send their children to state-owned enterprises as cadres, but are unwilling to let their descendants re-take the official path. Because in their opinion, the ups and downs of the officialdom are too high, and many political disputes are led by joint positions. If you are not careful, you may implicate your family and follow them together. Therefore, in comparison, it is better to take the route of a top businessman as a popular businessman.

It is precisely because most of the senior executives in state-owned enterprises are second-generation officials with strong backgrounds, and almost no one dares to cause trouble for state-owned enterprises that Zhou Qian asked Zhang Xiaodong to deliberately raise it at the meeting, which made Chen Ping in a dilemma.

If you follow Zhang Xiaodong, Chen Ping will fight to the death with the state-owned enterprises. If you retreat, then Zhou Qian can take advantage of the situation and say that he has dereliction of duty.

"Director Chen, what do you think?"

After Zhang Xiaodong finished speaking, he looked at Chen Ping with a smile. On the surface, he was waiting for Chen Ping's answer, but in fact he just wanted to see the joke of the new director, because in his opinion, no one dared to touch state-owned enterprises, and even the mayor at the department level had to consider it, let alone just a small deputy department-level cadre.

But what Zhang Xiaodong didn't expect was that Chen Ping said: "Director Zhang is right. Since we want to do audit work, we must do our job well, otherwise we are sorry for the trust of the organization in our trust! I agree with Director Zhang. This time the audit work focuses on state-owned enterprises, and is jointly led by Director Zhang and I!"
