Li Ji finally walked to the door of Cui Hao's office.
The door was closed and no movement could be heard inside.
Li Ji stopped and stood in front of the door. His heart started to beat and his face felt hot.
He lowered his head and thought, stood blankly for a moment, then suddenly gritted his teeth and walked back.
Li Ji walked to the elevator and looked at the numbers arranged in order on the instruction screen. His fingers shook slightly, but he still didn't press it.
He took a deep breath, hit his head with his fist, and returned hesitantly.
"Mr. Li, please find Mr. Cui!"
At this time, Xiaomiao, who was in charge of comprehensive business in the credit department, walked out of the next room holding a document.
When she saw Li Ji, she was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly took two steps forward, and a smile immediately appeared on her face.
"Well, yes, yes." Li Ji nodded hurriedly.
"Mr. Cui was called by President Tao just now," Xiaomiao said.
Li Ji let out a long sigh of relief: "Okay, I'll come back to him later."
After saying that, Li Ji turned around and left in a hurry.
Xiaomiao blinked and stared at Li Ji's back disappearing at the top of the stairs, then lowered his head to look at the documents in his hand and walked into another office.
After lunch, Li Ji took a nap on the sofa. After just squinting for a while, I was woken up by the ringing of my cell phone.
"Who is it? This is it!" Li Ji was dizzy, his eyes still a little unable to open, but the anger in his heart kept rising, "It's noon, and it's not even possible to let people sleep!"
He took the phone angrily, stared at the screen twice, was startled, and quickly pressed the answer button.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong?" Li Ji rubbed his eyes and sat up straight.
"Li Ji, sister-in-law wants to ask you something..." Zhu Hui's voice seemed a little different from usual.
"Oh," Li Ji suddenly became nervous, "Sister-in-law, what's going on? Just say what you say."
"You have to tell the truth to your sister-in-law..."
"Ah? Okay, okay," Li Ji became more nervous and breathed heavier, "Sister-in-law, can't you still trust me?"
"Well," Zhu Hui responded, "I went to the group this morning and heard from someone in the financing department that you have stopped working and are here specifically to collect loans?"
"Well, yes." Li Ji hesitated for a moment and then told the truth.
"If you can't get back the 100 million, will the industry ask you to resign?"
"Ah?" Li Ji was stunned, "Sister-in-law, who did you listen to?"
"Don't worry about who I listened to. Is this the case?"
"Ah, well..." Li Ji rolled his eyes and nodded hesitantly, "Yes, it does happen."
"Then why didn't you tell the old man?"
"I, I told Uncle Wan." Li Ji thought for a while and replied.
"Then have you told him that the industry asked you to resign?"
"Well, I didn't say that." Li Ji forced a smile, "It's all business, there's no need to tell Uncle Wan."
"Oh, you," Zhu Hui complained, "I heard Zhu Cong say that the real estate company's 100 million yuan, the old man will not allow the loan to be repaid..."
"Oh, Mr. Zhu also told me about this," Li Ji felt reassured, "The group needs money to pay off bonds, so use it first."
"Then what should you do here?" Zhu Hui was a little anxious, "If you don't tell the old man, he will think that it will be okay to pay back the loan later."
"No, it's okay." Li Ji's throat moved a few times, as if it was blocked by something, "It's easy to talk to me..."
"Really?" Zhu Hui obviously didn't believe it. "If you're embarrassed, sister-in-law, tell the old man. How could he just leave such a big thing alone!"
"Sister-in-law, please stop!" Li Ji panicked, "Listen to me, Uncle Wan didn't ignore it. He said he would repay the loan first when the funds are received."
"Then why did the group take the money again?"
"Oh, yes, that's what happened..." Li Ji's mind was spinning rapidly, his eyes were blinking, and he tried to make his tone casual, "Uncle Wan told me this a long time ago. After that, I also told the bank. The bank agreed that the loan can be repaid later..."
"Li Ji, you didn't lie to your sister-in-law, did you?"
"Sister-in-law, can I still lie to you about this!" Li Ji raised his voice, "After all, I am still the vice president of the credit department, am I still unable to handle this matter?"
It's a naked bullshit to pretend to be fat.
"Oh, then sister-in-law is relieved." On the other end of the phone, Zhu Hui smiled softly, and her tone became calmer, "Look at me, I have been worrying about this for a long time, haha."
"Where, where," Li Ji replied quickly, "Sister-in-law, I really thank you."
"Sister-in-law didn't help me much, so why are you thanking me?" Zhu Hui smiled easily, "It's fine. I'm going to go out on the street in a while, so I won't tell you anymore."
"Sister-in-law, how are you doing recently?" Li Ji asked quickly.
"What's wrong," Zhu Hui said easily, "Isn't my sister-in-law like this before? When did Wan Cheng care about me..."
The phone was hung up, and the beeping busy tone echoed in my ears.
Li Ji put down his cell phone and froze on the sofa for a while. He picked up the teacup on the coffee table, blew on the tea leaves floating on the rim of the cup, and took a few big sips.
He slammed the teacup onto the coffee table, and the "crackling" sound startled him.
Li Ji picked up the rag and wiped the water spilled on the coffee table, then threw the rag aside and crossed Erlang's legs.
At this moment, he was completely sleepless. But my head is still a little blurry, and I feel a little uneasy sitting on the sofa. I just feel like my mind is agitated, like there are countless villains fighting, they seem to be thinking about everything, and they seem to be thinking about nothing.
Finally it was time to go to work in the afternoon.
Li Ji walked back and forth in the room several times, sighing. I walked to the balcony again, holding on to the railing, and stared blankly at the noisy street outside.
The afternoon sun was faint and not as hot as it was in midsummer.
On the road, pedestrians and vehicles come and go, shuttling in and out.
I couldn't see any difference this afternoon.
The weather is great.
In the clear sky, there are a few slender white clouds floating lazily, like feathers, like the careless painter who casually painted them with a brush.
The days were peaceful as usual. Everyone seemed happy, or at least happier than Li Ji.
Li Ji suddenly felt a sense of reluctance.
Through the glass window, Li Ji seemed to be able to hear the faint sounds of the city. That familiar feeling was warm and close, making him feel calm, stable and at ease.
But now, this loan has trapped him tightly, like an invisible and strong rope, dragging him deeper into the darkness.
Li Ji felt panic.
There was darkness all around, and he was standing alone in the boundless wilderness.
He wanted to know what was behind this. However, his current situation and Wan Cheng's death seemed to make it difficult to verify all of this.
For the first time, Li Ji felt his own insignificance and powerlessness. The ambitions and ambitions of the past were all gone at this moment, nothing left.
What deputy general manager, what system, what rules, in the face of position and power, are almost not worth mentioning.
He was a little desperate and despaired of all hope.
Li Ji looked around and saw an eagle spreading its wings and hovering quietly in the air where the gray rooftops of the city met the blue sky.
It is so comfortable and calm, like a king patrolling his territory.
"Don't be afraid of the clouds covering your eyes, just because you are at the top."
This poem suddenly popped into Li Ji's mind.
He thought quietly.
Countless thoughts, like thousands of moths, fly around in my mind, as vast as heavy rain and as numerous as falling flowers.
The swaying grass, the sunset is slowly setting.
On the mountain road, the boy running with his schoolbag;
On campus, that childish young man who dreams of guiding the world;
Behind the counter, the high-spirited and ambitious new bank employee...
Far away and confused.
"Do you still remember the dream you had when you were young, like a flower that never withers..."
