Chapter 310: Spending Money to Buy Unease
Qin Zhouxing's problem was solved, but Yao Yuanzao left more than one work loophole.
Gu Tingzhou and Zhao Yuxi stayed in the office and looked through Yao Yuanzao's work report.
Before the two found the next loophole, Yao Yuanzao hurried back.
Yao Yuanzao was about to walk into the office, and he took a step forward with his right foot, but he suddenly realized that he couldn't just barge in casually. He quickly retracted his right leg and took a step back: "Deans, I'm back late, I'm willing to accept any punishment."
"Why are you panicking? It's not a very severe punishment. You are a Medievalist, and the institute will not treat you unfairly." Zhao Yuxi didn't want to punish Yao Yuanzao severely. To put it in a big way, the mistake he made was just one day of absenteeism, which was not a big deal.
As for the work loopholes, that is even less worth mentioning. There are hundreds of assistants to branch deans across the country, and none of them are without loopholes. In addition, the institute does not have a unified assessment standard for assistants to branch deans, as long as their superiors think they can pass the test.
When Yao Yuanzao heard that Dean Zhao Yuxi's voice was a little loud, he became even more nervous, unsure and trembling with fear.
"Dean Gu Tingzhou, what kind of punishment do you think is appropriate for him?"
"Deduct 10% of this month's salary. Ask him to follow up on the reports I picked out. His punishment on some people is still too light." Gu Tingzhou did not punish Yao Yuanzao severely for Zhao Yuxi's sake. He did not come to work today, which is a small matter. He let the second-hand people run around outside and endanger the public, which is a big deal. He did his job well, so it was not unfair for him to be demoted to stationmaster!
Zhao Yuxi thought that there were less than 20 working days in October, and it was appropriate to deduct 10% of Yao Yuanzao's salary for one day of absence without reason. Dean Gu Tingzhou was still merciful. He would also do something very considerate. It's not easy.
He said that "the punishment was too light", which was true. Zhao Yuxi had seen what Qin Zhouxing had done recently. He had done something bad before, and the institute settled accounts with him and took away 50% of his property, but after that, he did something bad again, and the institute did not settle accounts with him.
Zhao Yuxi wanted Qin Zhouxing to help her with something, so she didn't mention the latest bad things. Not mentioning it doesn't mean that bad things didn't happen, nor does it mean that the institute won't bother with him. And according to Yao Yuanzao's handling method and work attitude, he probably won't bother with Qin Zhouxing for a long time.
"Did you hear me? Increase the punishment. You should be able to do such a small thing well, right?"
"I can do it well, I can do it well." Yao Yuanzao felt much more relieved. Deducting 10% of the salary is not a big deal. This loss is negligible and can be made up at any time. However, this time it can be turned into a safe place, but it may not be the case next time. If it weren't for Dean Zhao Yuxi's plea, it would be very uncertain whether it could be landed safely this time. I have to be more careful in the future and not be caught again.
"I only read part of your work report. For the part I didn't read, you should take a closer look and make corrections and changes as needed. Make sure it's up to standard before my next visit. Chen Qingke has removed your door, and he will send someone to install a new one in a while. Don't stop the person who's installing the door. I removed the lock on your drawer, so I'll leave the 500 yuan for you to buy a new lock."
Gu Tingzhou and Zhao Yuxi walked out of the office. Before leaving, Gu Tingzhou looked back at the opened door.
"Does his lock cost 500 yuan?"
"No need. Give him more money to buy his peace of mind."
"Not at ease? Oh. I see." Zhao Yuxi didn't expect Gu Tingzhou's "growth rate" to be so fast. Is this also his original appearance? If not, do I need to remind him not to do this again in the future? Forget it, let's observe for a while.
He went to the office in the morning. Yao Yuanzao was not there when he arrived. He must be very angry. He was magnanimous and showed extra leniency by not increasing the punishment. He certainly didn't want to see Yao Yuanzao sitting in the office with a clear conscience after accepting the punishment. Not only him, but I also didn't want to see this scene. Yao Yuanzao stared at the unexpected money on the table, feeling uneasy.
After the two of them left the branch, they walked on the road for a while. Gu Tingzhou was about to do his own thing, when he remembered that he shouldn't send Chen Qingke away. But Chen Qingke had already left, not even in the city, and he was supervising a medieval person. Once he was transferred back, would Qin Zhouxing take the opportunity to do something? It was hard to say.
Gu Tingzhu sent a message to Chen Qingke.
"Send me the contact information of those directors and your work plan. Send a message to all the directors in the city right now, asking them to come to the entrance of Qingchuan Pavilion within an hour."
Chen Qingke was on a train. He wanted to take the high-speed train, but Qin Zhouxing said, "Let's go quickly," so he reluctantly boarded the train and went with Qin Zhouxing to a city in the north to punish evildoers. The person whose face was to be replaced had already been decided.
After the dean sent a message, Chen Qingke wanted to complain. He wanted the dean to give him more rights to choose his goals and not give him too much freedom. But he changed his mind and thought that if he complained, the dean would think that he was not capable enough. For now, he should do the things the dean asked him to do well and become a useful person, and then find an opportunity to complain.
The dean asked him for a work plan, and he happened to have one. He compiled the information of 15 people, including contact information, home address, works, and income, into a form. With this form, the dean could prove his identity without having to call on additional civilian forces.
Gu Tingzhou received the form, which was detailed enough to be used as a work plan. Those big directors were all adults, so there was no need for the secretary to assign too many things to them. Moreover, he had not met those directors yet, and the secretary did not know what would happen next, so there was nothing he could do to arrange anything.
"The form is well done," the message was sent, and Gu Tingzhou put the phone in his pocket. He stopped and said, "Zhao Yuxi, let's go to Qingchuan Pavilion."
"Okay. Now that I've dealt with my work, I can go see the scenery."
Gu Tingzhou asked the directors to arrive at the entrance of Qingchuan Pavilion within an hour, which was to leave time for them and for himself. After all, Qingchuan Pavilion was a tourist attraction, and it would be inappropriate for the two of them to arrive at the entrance but not go in. He could spend ten minutes to get to Qingchuan Pavilion, spend fifty minutes to walk around the pavilion, and meet the directors when he returned, and then take them to another place for a meeting.
However, the development of things was far from what Gu Tingzhou had imagined.
When they were halfway there, Zhao Yuxi saw a Hanfu store.
"Gu Tingzhou, is Qingchuan Pavilion like the Yellow Crane Tower, a place with retro architecture?"
Gu Tingzhou understood her thoughts. She would definitely pull him into the store to take a look, otherwise she would not ask this question at this time. Retro buildings and retro clothes sound like a good combination, but wearing retro clothes to have a meeting with a group of modern people is not a good combination. However, he did not want to disturb Zhao Yuxi's interest. After thinking about it, he decided to tell the truth.
"I have an appointment with a group of directors at the entrance of Qingchuan Pavilion. I have a meeting for them in an hour. Let's go buy clothes first, find a place to change clothes after the meeting, and then go to Qingchuan Pavilion, okay?"
"Okay." Zhao Yuxi agreed immediately without even thinking about it.
