Chapter 49: The Conflict at the Dinner (Part 2)

Updated: 2012-08-21

Liang Zhicheng looked at Chen Ping and said, "Director Chen's words make sense. It is a way to reform our group. I can promise Director Chen that he will definitely try to make changes when he goes back. However, before that, I still hope that Director Chen, you can give up your hands and let our Jinkun Group have a way out."

Chen Ping said: "Mr. Liang, some roads are chosen by himself, not just what anyone can say."

"Director Chen, is there anything we have offended you in Jinkun Group?" Liang Zhicheng asked suddenly.

Chen Ping shook his head and said, "No."

"Then why did Director Chen target our Jinkun Group?" Liang Zhicheng questioned Chen Ping.

"Because of my conscience, because I am the audit director appointed by the organization, I need to be responsible to the organization and the people. I cannot see someone squandering the hard-earned money of the people without being indifferent!" Chen Ping replied strongly and powerfully, "I know that there are many trends in the officialdom that are not good, but that is someone else. At least I will never allow such a thing to happen in front of me!"

Listening to Chen Ping's answer, Liang Zhicheng smiled disdainfully and said, "Director Chen, I am so polite to you because I am the Audit Director and invited you to have dinner here. I think there is no place to let Director Chen down. Director Chen should not be rude."

Chen Ping glanced at Liang Zhicheng. When Liang Zhicheng said this, he no longer had the respectful tone of Chen Ping before, but used a condescending attitude. Especially when Liang Zhicheng said the last sentence, the threat component in his tone was quite obvious. However, Chen Ping obviously did not take Liang Zhicheng's threat to heart, and still said without rushing: "Mr. Liang's words are very strange. Our Audit Bureau's work has always been in accordance with the rules, and conducting special audit investigations is also reported to the Luzhuang Municipal Government for approval after obtaining sufficient factual evidence. But did not deliberately make things difficult for Mr. Liang?"

Since he had already said the previous words, Liang Zhicheng ignored anything. He immediately slapped the table and said, "Director Chen, you are deliberately making things difficult for me!"

Faced with Liang Zhicheng's unreasonable accusations, Chen Ping just smiled helplessly. He calmly picked up a bite of the dish for himself, and then said to Liang Zhicheng: "Mr. Liang is a bit too out of context, right? If I remember correctly, I just told Mr. Liang that our Audit Bureau's special audit investigation on Jinkun Group was carried out after the approval of the municipal government."

"Bad approval, Chen Ping, are you coaxing me as a three-year-old child?" Liang Zhicheng said, "I am a leader of a state-owned enterprise with a staffed position. Don't I understand the little things in your officialdom?"

Chen Ping did not have any official airs, so he did not have much hatred for Liang Zhicheng's behavior of calling him by his name. He just sighed and shook his head helplessly and said, "It seems that Mr. Liang, you don't understand what I said."

"I don't need to understand your nonsense," said Liang Zhicheng. "I just hope Chen Ping, you can understand my words. I am a state-owned enterprise cadre. What can you do to me?"

"At least I can direct the Audit Bureau to conduct a special audit investigation on Jinkun Group," said Chen Ping.

When Liang Zhicheng heard Chen Ping's words, he was stunned at first, and then pointed at Chen Ping like a wild dog with his tail stepped on and shouted: "Chen Ping, don't be too arrogant! Do you think I was afraid of you when I invited you to dinner today? I just don't want to be too irritated with the government agencies, don't be too arrogant!"

"Indeed, you can conduct a special audit investigation on my Jinkun Group, but so what? Do you really think the government above you will let you continue like this? Do you really think I have no choice but to do anything to you?" Liang Zhicheng asked and answered himself, "Chen Ping, I think you are so young, I'm afraid I thought you can do whatever you want after becoming an official and having power, right? But you probably don't know that there are some things you can't touch, and the most important of them is state-owned enterprises."

Liang Zhicheng said as he looked at Chen Ping up and down, and said to Chen Ping in a contemptuous tone: "Looking at your miserable appearance, I guess you are just a political nouveau riche. No wonder you don't understand the rules so much. But before your mind gets hot, why don't you think it's your pig mind and look through the information of state-owned enterprises? Don't you think there was almost no shady scene in state-owned enterprises before this? Don't you think it's strange?"

"Then let me tell you, this is because the important position of state-owned enterprises is controlled by some families with strong relationships. These state-owned enterprise executives may just be businessmen on the surface, but in fact, the energy behind them is too great to imagine. It is precisely because of these reasons that no one except those who are broken brains like you are willing to and dare to touch this part."

Liang Zhicheng became more and more proud of his words: "I am the same. I am not afraid to tell you that my family is in Luzhuang or in the superior Dongwu City, there are relationships like you that are unthinkable. Chen Ping and Chen Ping, you think you can get to the sky just because you become a small audit director? You are really naive, but you may never think that only I recognize you are the director of Luzhuang Audit Bureau. If I don't recognize you, you won't even betray you, do you understand?"

After saying that, Liang Zhicheng laughed out loud and made a very pity for Chen Ping.

Chen Ping was indifferent when Liang Zhicheng was speaking. Now that Liang Zhicheng had finished speaking, he just drank tea calmly, and there was no joy or anger on his face. Then he asked Liang Zhicheng lightly: "Are you finished speaking?"

Chen Ping's words were like a thunderbolt, slashing Liang Zhicheng hard, making him think about how much he said just now, and his feelings were still very good. Even if he couldn't scare the other party, at least it would be fine to make him angry. But in the end, the other party seemed to have not heard it, which made him feel unspeakable frustration.

This feeling was like Liang Zhicheng's punch with confidence. He thought it would cause harm to the other party, but he was hit by the empty one and the other party did not respond at all. This made Liang Zhicheng feel annoyed and discouraged.

Chen Ping did not have the interest in taking advantage of the victory and he continued to ignore Liang Zhicheng's attitude and said: "It seems that the purpose of Mr. Liang's dinner tonight has been very clear, which is to use illegal means of bribery to try to interfere with the normal audit investigation procedures."

Chen Ping's words were undoubtedly normal, but in Liang Zhicheng's ears, it was more like a mockery of him.

Liang Zhicheng was so angry that his whole body was trembling, and his muscles were constantly twitching. He pointed at Chen Ping and yelled: "Chen Ping, don't be shameless! I have been in Jinkun Group for so many years, but no one dared to cause trouble for me. You are the first one. Do you believe it or not, I will strip you of the official uniform?"

Chen Ping said with a sudden enlightenment: "Mr. Liang reminded me that you also want to threaten and intimidate state cadres. These are all serious crimes."

"I'll go to your mother's crime! What are you an official pretending to be in front of me?" Liang Zhicheng said to Chen Ping, "I'm here to explain what I said to you today. In the realm of Dongwu, it's just that I'm used to being low-key. If I really want to do anything or any legal policy, it's all nonsense. Only I am the law, do you understand?"

Chen Ping said: "I don't have any interest in understanding your background or something."

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. I will let you know the consequences of going against me!" Liang Zhicheng said viciously.

"I repeat, I didn't target you on purpose, I was just doing things according to the rules. If you understand very well that I am targeting you, then I can't do anything about it."

Chen Ping said as he stood up and prepared to leave. At this moment, Chen Ping thought about it and left the last sentence to Liang Zhicheng and said: "Also, let me remind you that the task of our Audit Bureau is just to conduct audit investigations. Our Audit Bureau only has the right to investigate and does not have the right to enforce the law. If Mr. Liang really has ideas, he should not waste time with me. Next, I will submit the results to the Discipline Inspection Commission and other Jinkun's superior authorities. If you have the ability, you can go through this relationship more."

However, Liang Zhicheng, who was in a rage, obviously couldn't listen. He reached out and pointed to the door of the box and said, "Get out! I don't need you to cry and pretend to be merciful. You just need to take care of your own black hat!"

In response to this, Chen Ping shook his head helplessly, gave Liang Zhicheng a stupid evaluation, and left the box, leaving only Liang Zhicheng who was jumping and cursing, as well as two people who were already at a loss for petrochemicals.
