Chapter 402 Xu Damao's disguised approach to He Yuzhu
The originally serious and silent atmosphere was not broken until Director Zhang from the patrol team and Director Song from the security department appeared at the cafeteria door together.
As soon as Director Zhang entered the room, he noticed the unusual atmosphere in the cafeteria. He looked around and finally his eyes fell on Director Li and He Yuzhu, with a playful smile on his face:
"Hey, Director Li and Deputy Director He are here too. The cafeteria is really bustling today."
Director Li came forward with a smile, stretched out his hands to shake hands with Director Zhang and Director Song respectively, and said with a hint of teasing in his voice: "Director Zhang, Director Song, you are finally here. We have been waiting for you two busy people."
Director Song nodded, his eyes swept over Director Li and He Yuzhu, and finally fell on Xu Damao who was standing beside them.
He maintained a serious professional look on his face, and asked in a questioning tone: "Director Xu, you specifically asked me and Director Zhang to come here. Is there something important?"
Xu Damao felt nervous when he saw Director Song's gaze, but he knew he had to stay calm. He pursed his lips slightly, trying to calm the waves in his heart, and then secretly glanced at Director Li and He Yuzhu beside him.
Both of them remained silent, their eyes revealing waiting and expectation, obviously waiting for his explanation.
Xu Damao took a deep breath, cleared his throat, and then spoke slowly, with a firm tone in his voice:
"Here's the thing, Director Song. Recently, there have been some discordant voices in our cafeteria. Some people have unreasonably questioned whether there is a problem of embezzlement in our procurement process."
As he spoke, he tapped the tabletop lightly with his hands, as if to emphasize his words.
Then, he changed the subject and turned his gaze to He Yuzhu, his tone full of trust:
"However, I want to emphasize that Deputy Director He's brother He Yugang has always been responsible. He works diligently in the canteen and has never had any selfish motives. I think this groundless accusation is extremely unfair to him."
A serious and determined expression appeared on Xu Damao's face, as if he was trying to vindicate He Yugang.
Director Song listened to Xu Damao's story quietly, but a ripple appeared in his heart. He remembered the letter sent by Yang Jianye before, which mentioned the alliance between Yang Jianye and Xu Damao and asked him to help if possible.
Director Zhang was watching Director Song's reaction and had an idea in mind. He turned to Director Song and suggested:
"Director Song, I think we should send someone to the cafeteria to check out the situation. After all, seeing is believing. Only by understanding the situation in person can we make a more accurate judgment."
Director Song nodded in agreement. He knew Director Zhang's proposal was to better solve the problem and to ensure fairness and transparency in the canteen.
So, he turned to Xu Damao and said, "Xu Damao, we will send someone to the cafeteria to check the situation. We will never wrongly accuse a good person, nor will we let a bad person go."
After Director Song said, "We will send someone to the cafeteria to check the situation," his eyes naturally turned to He Yuzhu who was standing beside him. He carefully observed He Yuzhu's reaction, hoping to catch some clues from it.
However, He Yuzhu's face showed no extra expression, he just sat there quietly, as if all this had nothing to do with him. Director Song's heart sank, thinking to himself: "It seems that Xu Damao's plan this time is likely to fail."
After hearing what Director Song said, Xu Damao nodded, indicating that he was not afraid of the investigation. He raised his head, looked at Director Song and Director Zhang firmly, and said in a sonorous and powerful voice:
"Please Director Song and Director Zhang, please handle this impartially. I believe the canteen's procurement process is open and transparent."
After listening to this, Director Song nodded slightly and signaled the staff around him to go to the canteen to check the ingredients immediately. After a while, the staff came back with a serious look on his face.
He walked up to Director Song and Director Zhang and reported in a low voice: "Director, the ingredients in the cafeteria are indeed not fresh."
Hearing this news, Director Zhang and Director Song looked at each other, and there was a hint of surprise in their eyes. Director Zhang turned his head and looked at Xu Damao, with a hint of seriousness in his tone:
"Director Xu, who is specifically responsible for purchasing for your cafeteria? How much money is there? Can you hand over these accounts in person so that everyone can check them?"
When Xu Damao heard what Director Zhang said, his face changed slightly, as if he was hit by an invisible hammer. His pupils shrank instantly, and his eyes wandered between He Yuzhu and Director Zhang.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner turmoil, but his hands clenched into fists involuntarily, and it was obvious that he could not conceal his inner tension.
When Director Zhang saw Xu Damao's gaze shift, his eyes immediately became sharp, as if he could see through people's hearts. He frowned slightly, and his voice was a little majestic:
"Director Xu, I'm talking to you, why are you looking at Deputy Director He? Could this matter be related to Deputy Director He?"
Xu Damao was frightened by Director Zhang's words and his face froze. He quickly waved his hands and denied, "No, no, Director Zhang, you misunderstood. I definitely didn't mean that. How could it be Deputy Director He?"
Although his words were urgent, his voice was trembling, and he was obviously trying hard to hide his anxiety.
However, the more he denied, the more he seemed to be trying to cover up his crime. His eyes were evasive and his movements were stiff, as if he was confessing something. Others present also began to whisper and became suspicious of Xu Damao's words and actions.
