Early in the morning, Cheng Dongyi, with the help of his wife Yihua, put on the suit given by Paula, which he had been reluctant to wear.
After getting dressed, Ichika helped straighten his collar. Looking at her husband, whose hair was already a little gray, she almost couldn't help crying again.
"It's okay, it's okay, I retired with a lot of money."
"You, it's okay to say nothing."
When the couple walked out of the door, the Shanyu family was already waiting at the door for Sung Dong-il to attend the retirement ceremony.
Pearl smiled and gave Section Chief Cheng a bouquet of flowers. The child's pure smile was the most touching.
"Thank you, Pearl." Section Chief Cheng smiled and touched the child's head.
"Dad Paula, you have worked hard during that time."
"Thanks for your hard work."
Shanying and Cuiwu said sincerely.
"Why are you giving this away?" Section Chief Cheng said a little touched and a little embarrassed.
At this time, Zhengfeng's family hurriedly ran out of the house, and Jin Chengjun was also holding a bouquet of flowers.
"Oh, you guys got there first. I told you to watch it at the entrance gate." Jin Chengjun scolded Zhengfeng.
"I'm going to die. It's not a presidential retirement ceremony. Why is it so big? It will be over in an hour."
"It's over in that hour. Just come back. I'll heat up the wine and wait for you to come back. Section Chief Cheng, you have worked hard for such a long time."
Jin Chengjun sent flowers with simple words but full of true feelings. Section Chief Cheng was also moved by everyone's thoughts.
"We need to change the bank where we deposit money. Paula's father doesn't work at Hanyi Bank anymore, so why are we still holding Hanyi Bank's passbook?" Luo Meilan said.
"Yeah, I'm also going to take this opportunity to exchange all Han Yiyin's passbooks. I'm going to kill Han Yi Bank." Cheng Dongyi also said with a smile.
"Yes, Han Yi Bank is really going to die, it's going to die."
The neighbors complained about Hanyi Bank and also complained about Cheng Dongyi.
"Dad, it's getting late, let's go." Deshan reminded his father in a low voice.
"Dad Paula, go quickly. I've never been late in my life, but I can't be late for the retirement ceremony." Sunying joked.
Cheng Dongyi smiled and agreed, looking at his two daughters with some confusion.
"Why didn't you drive?"
"I called Gu Yu last night and told him that you were retiring. Today, manager Li from the branch called me and told me that Gu Yu asked him to arrange a courtesy car and a photography team." Deshan said happily.
"Hey Yigu, Gu Yuren is still in the United States. How can you interrupt his work? He is so busy every day." Cheng Dongyi heard that it was Gu Yu's arrangement and scolded his daughter for his ignorance.
"Oh, I get it. I'll pay attention to it in the future. This is Gu Yu's intention. Today is also worth remembering."
Deshan acted coquettishly towards his father, and after saying goodbye to the neighbors, he pulled Cheng Dongyi towards the entrance of the alley, and the others followed behind.
"Hey Yigu, how much does this car cost? It's so luxurious." Cheng Dongyi said with emotion as he got into the car, looking at the accessories in the car.
Li Chengyi prepared three Rolls-Royce Phantoms to form a small fleet, and the photography team was already set up at the scene.
When Section Chief Cheng walked to the car just now, he was really at a loss because of the formal attire and respectful attitude of the driver and assistant. This was the first time in his life that he was treated like a big shot.
"About two to three million US dollars. I'm not sure. How is it? Is it comfortable?" Deshan sat in the passenger seat and turned to Section Chief Cheng with a smile.
"Hey Yigu, it's so expensive! I never thought I could have such an experience in my lifetime."
Section Chief Cheng was startled by the price at first, then adjusted his sitting posture and leaned on the independent airline seat of natural textured leather with enjoyment. He picked up the coffee placed in the wine cabinet and drank it.
Yihua glanced at her husband and felt that this man was really big-hearted, groping for such an expensive car from time to time.
Yu Hui, who was sitting in the second car, was just like his father. He had seats, a wine cabinet, a refrigerator, a massage chair, and heated seats. He kept asking the assistant sitting in the co-pilot, and the assistant also answered patiently, carefully, and gently. on every question.
Paula also rolled her eyes at her brother, ignored him, and continued to edit text messages to Gu Yu.
When Seong Dong-il and his family arrived at Hanil Bank, the president and minister came out to welcome him. He held Section Chief Cheng’s hand and kept talking about hard work, reluctance, and blessings. Section Chief Cheng was moved to death. .
The president also had a cordial chat with the parents of Section Chief Cheng, especially Paula and Deshan, who praised them for free.
What was originally an honorary retirement ceremony for more than 20 people gradually turned into a thank-you party for Section Chief Cheng.
From the deputy minister to the minister to the president, every leader who took the stage to speak spoke about Cheng Dongyi’s efforts over the past thirty years and the deep relationship between himself and him.
From joining the company to actively applying for retirement, the leaders were reluctant to leave. They repeatedly agreed with tears and sent blessings. Cheng Dongyi also thought for a while that there might be a problem with his memory. Maybe this was the fact and it was his previous misunderstanding. .
Thank you plaques, trophies, flowers, cameras, and even invited reporters from the KBS news program to interview. Finally, in the president's speech, he awarded Section Chief Cheng the title of lifetime honorary employee.
At the same time, in order to thank him for his thirty years of dedication and saving Hanil Bank from major economic losses many times, it was specially decided to reward him with up to five times his pension.
Ilhwa, Deshan and Yuhui were all moved by the ceremony prepared so carefully by Han Il Bank. They were both proud of Section Chief Cheng and gratified that Han Il Bank was so humane.
Paula remained calm throughout the whole process. Although she also shed tears for her father's retirement, she could understand what was going on with the arrangements at today's scene.
After the ceremony, Han Il Bank took Section Chief Cheng and his family to a high-end restaurant for a luncheon. It seemed that Jin Chengjun couldn't wait for Section Chief Cheng to have a drink together, but Paula also called the neighbors to tell them.
After the luncheon was over, with everyone at Hanil Bank reluctant to leave, Cheng Dongyi and his family got into the Rolls-Royce Phantom and set off home.
Section Chief Cheng is determined to use Han Yi's bankbook for the rest of his life, and plans to tell his neighbors when he returns.
However, Hanil Bank did not give them a lifetime opportunity. Within two years after the Asian economic crisis, it was taken over by the government and later reorganized, and the name Hanil Bank became history.
Cheng Dongyi's family returned to the alley, and Gu Yu was standing at the entrance of the alley waiting for them. When Deshan saw his lover, he excitedly threw himself into his arms, and Gu Yu also touched her head lovingly.
Paula looked on with a little envy, but the relationship between the three of them could not be explained at this time. Without Deshan's proud look at her at the end, Paula would have endured it.
Cheng Deshan, you are dead, wait until you go back to your room at night and see if I beat you to death!
"Uncle, thank you for your hard work. Please enjoy life with Auntie from now on." Gu Yu also sent the prepared flowers.
"Hey Yigu, Gu Yu, why are you back? It's because of this kid Deshan who talks so much."
"Uncle, how could I not come back when you retire today? I just couldn't attend your retirement ceremony."
"Family, don't worry, it will take you more than ten hours to come back from the United States. Today, there is a video and a TV interview. Haha, Gu Yu, let me tell you, today is my most glorious day."
Cheng Dongyi pulled Gu Yu and kept talking about today's retirement ceremony, how much the president and ministers respected me, how reluctant they were to leave me, how grand the ceremony was, etc.
The family walked home talking and laughing.
