"They can't do whatever they want. Who's in charge of this steel rolling mill?"

Factory Director Wang seemed a bit carried away, and it also felt like he was letting loose.

Factory Director Wang really liked this feeling; he suddenly felt that his confident self had returned.

He was still the one who made all the decisions at the steel plant, and everyone below him had to listen to him.

Even a successful person like Li Chaoyang needs his help.

He felt extremely satisfied with his reputation and began to address Li Chaoyang more affectionately.

He also thought that if I said I had helped Li Chaoyang in this matter...

Li Chaoyang owes me another favor, and that's what will happen in the future.

Li Chaoyang probably wouldn't care too much, so he thought about it and found it very wonderful.

I feel that this singing competition came at just the right time.

It felt like God was helping me, allowing me to feel Li Chaoyang coming to ask me for a favor.

Li Chaoyang watched as Factory Director Wang spoke animatedly about the matter.

He seemed to be thinking of Director Wang. Why was he so happy?

Why is he so carried away, talking on and on?

He was able to help Li Chaoyang manage the people who participated in the choir.

Although Li Chaoyang understood what Director Wang meant, he did not point it out to him directly.

He didn't consider himself a friend of Director Wang; their relationship was merely one of mutual assistance at work.

It's a perfectly normal thing, so he politely said, "Then what about the arrangements for the personnel behind the scenes?"

"We still need Director Wang's help with the rehearsals."

Li Chaoyang then added, "Director Wang, the later rehearsals might be very intense, which could delay the factory's production."

"Because I haven't decided which department to invite, or who to select?"

"So, I need to give you an advance notice. Also, I might need to have custom-made clothing for the competition."

"The factory will need to cover this part of the cost."

Just as Li Chaoyang was talking about the personnel and rehearsals,

Factory Director Wang didn't react in any special way; he just nodded in agreement.

However, when the topic of the factory bearing the cost of the clothing came up, Director Wang's expression turned ugly.

This expression was fleeting, but Li Chaoyang caught it.

In fact, Li Chaoyang was fully capable of covering the cost of customizing his competition attire himself.

However, he believed it was a collective activity and an event to bring honor to the factory.

That's why he proposed that the factory cover the cost of the custom-made clothing.

After listening to what Li Chaoyang said, Director Wang stood up and sat down next to Li Chaoyang.

Then, with a bitter expression, he said, "Brother Chaoyang, you know the factory's budget is tight."

"I can only say I'll try my best to help you with this, once you submit the uniform fee."

"The finance department needs to come to 983 for approval and also check how much money it will cost."

"Although the factory really needs this honor, I also have to consider the food for everyone here."

"First, we need to fill the workers' stomachs so that they can participate in such competitions to fill the void in their spirits."

Although what Director Wang said made a lot of sense, Li Chaoyang didn't really agree.

He thought to himself, "Why is it that the factory has to pay for the custom-made competition uniforms?"

And from the expression I just observed on Director Wang's face, it seems he has something he can't say.

Moreover, Director Wang's words were so tense, and he didn't take on any major responsibilities.

Li Chaoyang was very understanding of the steel mill's operating situation, as the mill made a lot of money every year.

Custom-made clothing may cost a lot of money, but given the current operating status of the steel rolling mill, it's not a problem at all.

Therefore, Li Chaoyang was also very puzzled, he thought to himself.

I just saw Director Wang making grand pronouncements, saying, "Just tell him anything."

He would definitely help, but I just mentioned that I needed to have clothes custom-made.

Factory Director Wang got up and came to his side. Was something the matter?

Li Chaoyang also made a bold guess: was the factory's accounts not very clear?

Moreover, was the factory short of funds? The more Li Chaoyang deduced, the more alarmed he became.

Could it be that Director Wang misappropriated all the profits?

If it's true that all of it was misappropriated by Factory Director Wang, then he's incredibly audacious.

They dared to embezzle public funds and pocket the hard-earned money of their fellow workers.

However, I have no evidence, and I cannot directly confront Director Wang.

Li Chaoyang could only reply simply, "Director Wang, as far as I know, our factory's operations have always been very good."

"Moreover, the company makes a profit every year, and the workers have no problem with food and clothing."

"Should be able to cover the cost of this competition uniform."

After listening to Li Chaoyang's words, Director Wang felt extremely disgusted.

Why is he always talking about custom-made clothes? Li Chaoyang is such a busybody.

Was he sent down by God specifically to deal with me?

The more he didn't want to be asked something, the more persistently Li Chaoyang would ask it.

Although Director Wang thought this to himself, he couldn't show it on his face.

Factory Director Wang had no choice but to reply with delight, "Brother Chaoyang, you are very observant, and you know a great deal."

"Nothing can escape your discerning eyes; you were absolutely right."

"Our factory has always been doing very well, and we make a profit every year."

"The problem of food and clothing for the workers in the steel rolling mill is of course easy to solve."

"But I can't take the money that everyone works so hard to earn and use it to make custom-made competition clothes for a few individuals."

"This is not something I can decide on my own; I need to discuss it with everyone and hold a meeting."

"Let's look into the competition fees. Or perhaps we should discuss the selection of participants first?"

After Director Wang finished explaining the tasks, he didn't give Li Chaoyang a chance to speak.

The more overreacted Director Wang became, the more Li Chaoyang sensed that something was wrong.

Li Chaoyang thought to himself, "This Factory Director Wang doesn't even give me a chance to speak."

He didn't even give me a chance to mention the cost of the clothing. Perhaps he felt guilty?

I definitely need to find an opportunity to test him.

Just as Li Chaoyang was pondering this matter and was about to speak, the fox...

Factory Director Wang then asked, "Brother Chaoyang (Nuoqianhao), how many people do you need to participate in the competition?"

"Let's choose together. Just tell us which manager you like."

"With so many people in our factory, we can always pick out a few dozen to sing."

When Li Chaoyang saw Factory Director Wang, he quickly changed the subject.

Factory Director Wang was quite clever; he didn't mention the clothing issue I had brought up.

Factory Director Wang shifted the focus from customizing competition outfits to selecting participants.

After hearing what Director Wang said, Li Chaoyang became even more certain.

There must be a problem with the factory's finances; the specifics of the problem need to be investigated.

It was precisely because Li Chaoyang lacked evidence that he was unable to confront Director Wang directly.

He could only keep the details of where the factory's money went to a secret in his heart.

He also had to keep an eye on the factory's financial expenditures and whether there were any problems with the workers' wages.

Or perhaps it's true, as Factory Director Wang said, that all the money in the factory is used for something.

He can't make the decision alone; he needs to discuss this matter with the leaders of each department.

Therefore, the matter of customizing competition outfits has been put on hold for the time being.
