"Xiao Li, please sit down first," Ye Xin reached out and pressed Li Ji's shoulder, asking him to sit back down again, "Listen to me slowly..."
Li Ji's face turned pale and his whole body was shaking. His lips moved slightly and he breathed heavily.
Damn it, it’s really like drawing water from a bamboo basket!
"Xiao Li, drink a glass of water first..."
Ye Xin picked up the kettle, poured half a glass of water, and handed it to Li Ji's hand.
Li Ji trembled and took it, holding it firmly in his hand, still looking at Ye Xin with good eyes.
"I originally nominated you," Ye Xin let out a long breath, her face became solemn, "But...but President Tao firmly disagreed. He said that your loan guarantee has not been settled yet. ....."
Li Ji's lips were tightly closed, his chest was rising and falling gently, and he was trying his best to control his breathing.
"And...it is said that the people below have a big opinion against you; they say that you abused your loan review power, deliberately made things difficult for staff, and suppressed business development..."
Li Ji's face became increasingly ugly, but his mood gradually calmed down.
To be honest, these days, he has been having a bad feeling in his heart, thinking that this matter cannot go so smoothly.
The director of the credit approval center is half a level higher than the leaders of the municipal department. The key is that it is directly under the Provincial Bank's Credit Department and is only led by the president. It can be said that it has a high position and a bright future.
Who wouldn't be jealous of such a big fat guy? Who doesn’t want to compete?
Before interests, everyone is equal.
Everyone takes advantage of it, and those who see it best share it.
This seems to be what a lot of people really think.
He, Li Ji, is a young employee with no roots and background, and his position as a deputy in the department is already unusual.
Now, if he could easily get this position just by relying on a word from Mr. Ye, I'm afraid it wouldn't be that cheap. There must be many people who are unconvinced, jealous, and want to do something.
Probably many people have this mentality: if they can't get it, they don't want others to get it. It would be best if no one could get it, then it would be harmonious and peaceful. You are good and I am good.
For Li Ji, he was extremely lucky to be able to stay in CCB without being expelled from his employer. I don’t know which ancestor has blessed me with the high incense I have burned for several generations.
What's more, the position of director of the Credit Approval Center was an accident. If it is gone, it will be gone.
If you don't get it, how can you talk about losing it?
The human heart is not enough for a snake to swallow an elephant.
People should learn to be content, and those who are content will always be happy.
If you don’t want to gain, you won’t lose.
As Li Ji thought about it, his tense complexion gradually relaxed, and there was a rare smile on his face.
"It's okay, President Ye." Although Li Ji couldn't hide his disappointment, his tone quickly returned to normal, "It's the same for everyone, don't be embarrassed..."
"Uh...you, just think about it this way..." Ye Xin nodded and took a long breath, "I originally wanted to try again and try my best. But look Several other bank leaders seem to agree with President Tao's opinion, so I can't say anything more..."
Ye Xin said, walked to the table and sat down.
He picked up a box of "General" brand cigarettes, took out one, lit it himself, and took a few puffs.
A faint wisp of white smoke rose thinly.
"Xiao Li, you also know that I have just been here for a short time, and it is difficult to say some things too directly." Ye Xin watched with deep eyes, "If you are said to be undemocratic, arbitrary, and one-sided, then you will not Great. You said, right?...
At this point, he stopped and took several deep puffs of cigarette.
A cloud of gray smoke dispersed, and Ye Xin's face was a little dazed.
Li Ji silently.
He understood Mr. Ye's situation very well, but he still felt sad in his heart, and a feeling of disappointment instantly enveloped his whole body.
Little people are little people.
As a small person, it seems difficult to get rid of the fate of relying on others.
No matter how important it is, after all is said and done, it is just an insignificant little chess piece on someone else's chessboard; it is insignificant and insignificant.
A pawn can be sacrificed, abandoned, and used as a bargaining chip in the game between big shots at any time.
At best, it is just a small addition to the exchange of interests, and it is insignificant.
"I understand, President Ye," Li Ji said, "I'm still too young, and there are many old comrades in the industry who are more suitable than me..."
"Oh, that's not the case," Ye Xin shook her head vigorously, "Anyone who meets the conditions in the bank, no matter which one, you are the first choice..."
Li Ji listened attentively, his expression gradually became solemn, but his heart became as calm as water.
"An important principle of the provincial bank's credit system reform is that cadres should be knowledgeable, professional and young." Ye Xin stopped and put out the less than half-smoked cigarette in the ashtray, " After strict screening, there are not many people in our bank who meet the basic conditions, and even fewer who are eligible for credit..."
As she spoke, Ye Xin tapped her fingers on the table: "After comparison, after comparison, you are almost the only suitable candidate. Hey, who would have thought..."
After saying this, Ye Xin turned her head and looked out the window.
A cloud covered the sun and the large glass windows darkened.
"Mr. Wang is also an experienced credit officer. He is very familiar with the business and has strong abilities..." Li Ji pondered over the words and said carefully.
"Well,..." Ye Xin sighed secretly, with a slightly unhappy look on his face, "However, he is still a lot worse than you..."
Li Ji's lips moved a few times, but he didn't say a word.
"Okay,... let's do this for now," Ye Xin retracted her gaze, looked at Li Ji, and pondered, "What else do you have in mind?"
"Me?" Li Ji was stunned for a moment, rubbing his hands, "Me, I just stay in the credit department..."
Ye Xin stared at Li Ji's face, lowered his head and pondered.
After a while, he raised his head and said slowly: "How about you go to the branch?"
"To the branch?" Li Ji was a little surprised.
"Well, first go down and become a branch president and get some training." Ye Xin nodded, "When the opportunity is right, I will transfer you back to the branch office. What do you think?"
"This..." Li Ji hesitated.
"Well, there's no need to rush this matter, and you don't have to answer me now." Ye Xin waved her hands, and suddenly she felt relaxed, "You go back first, think about it carefully, and we'll talk about it in a few days."
"Okay, okay!" Li Ji nodded quickly.
"Don't worry, he is a talented person, I won't let him bury him!"
Ye Xin came over and patted Li Ji's shoulder affectionately.
Li Ji couldn't express what he felt in his heart, he just felt weird. He stood up and nodded towards Ye Xin without answering.
"President Ye, I'm leaving..."
Li Ji turned around, opened the door, and walked out quickly.
Behind him, Ye Xin's eyes were solemn and complicated.
Li Ji returned to the office and sat at the table in silence for a long time.
He sorted out the documents and information on the table and piled them aside. Covering his face with his hands, he leaned quietly on the table. For a moment, I felt so panicked that I just wanted to cry.
"Mr. Li, President Tao invites you to go to his office!"
This sudden sound startled Li Ji. He hurriedly let go of his hands, raised his head, and looked at the sound.
It turned out to be Xiaomiao standing at the door.
"Oh, President Tao?" Li Ji's heart skipped a beat.
"Yeah." Xiaomiao nodded and looked at Li Ji strangely.
"Okay, okay," Li Ji stood up, "I'll go right now, I'll go right now..."
Xiaomiao went back.
Li Ji stared at the corner for a while, then suddenly came back to his senses.
He rubbed his face vigorously with both hands, opened his mouth and took a few breaths before stepping out of the room.
After walking to the seventh floor and standing at the top of the stairs for a few minutes, Li Jicai walked over slowly and knocked on Tao Ping's door.
"Come in!"
Tao Ping's familiar loud voice came from inside.
At this moment, Li Ji heard it, but he didn't feel any intimacy at all.
Li Ji opened the door and saw Tao Ping already standing there.
"President Tao, are you looking for me?"
Li Jiwan bent down and spoke calmly.
"Xiao Li, sit down quickly!"
A warm smile still appeared on Tao Ping's face. This smile was both familiar and unfamiliar to Li Ji.
"Oh, thank you, Mr. Tao..."
Li Ji sat down on the sofa and looked at Tao Ping calmly.
"I don't know what I've been busy with all day, and I haven't been able to ask about your affairs..."
Tao Ping said, smiling self-deprecatingly, dragging the chair behind him and sitting opposite Li Ji.
Li Ji nodded slightly, his expression remained the same.
"It's this Cui Hao who says he has to resign if he can't recoup the loan." Tao Ping smiled cordially, like a kind elder, "Isn't this nonsense? It is seriously irresponsible to employees! Yes! Leadership is negligent!..."
Tao Ping said solemnly, his voice suddenly raised, as if he was heartbroken; it was as if he only found out about this today and had never heard of it before.
Li Ji couldn't help but admire Tao Ping secretly, and couldn't help but want to give a thumbs up: High! It’s really high!
It is also a skill to dare to tell lies in front of others, and to tell lies without blushing.
This isn’t about being thick-skinned, it’s about the art of leadership.
"President Tao, it's okay," Li Ji smiled, "Mr. Cui has informed me to go back to work in the credit department..."
"That's good, that's good," Tao Ping nodded with satisfaction, "This Cui Hao is so shameless! I will severely criticize him if I have the opportunity in the future..."
Li Ji smiled faintly.
He knew in his heart that what the leader said "there will be opportunities in the future" actually meant "there will be no opportunities in the future." It means that this matter should be stopped here, completely changed, and don’t even think about mentioning it.
But Li Ji really couldn't figure out Tao Ping's intention of calling him here today, so he had no choice but to listen stupidly.
"The provincial bank is going to set up a credit approval center in its prefecture and city branches. Do you know about this?" Tao Ping asked suddenly.
Li Ji thought for a while, but still didn't lie: "I heard..."
"What do you think?" Tao Ping finished speaking and looked at Li Ji with interest.
"Me?..." Li Ji was a little confused and couldn't recover for a while.
"Your conditions are quite suitable. Have you ever thought about fighting for it?"
Li Ji cursed in his heart: Grandma's documents were not delivered, so let me fight for a hammer!
"I haven't thought about it," Li Ji hesitated, then replied honestly, "President Tao, this should be something your leaders should consider, right?"
"Yes." Tao Ping nodded, turned around and picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"Do you know Han Mei?" Tao Ping turned around and asked abruptly.
"Han Mei?" Li Ji's heart moved.
"Yes," Tao Ping looked at Li Ji for a moment, "The daughter of Director Han of the Municipal Banking Regulatory Bureau works in a rural credit cooperative..."
"You're talking about her!" Li Ji suddenly realized, "I know her! Of course I know her!"
"Are you familiar with each other?" Tao Ping asked.
"Well, it's not bad." Li Ji said in a very calm tone, "She is my junior sister in the same department at the university. She is very nice..."
"Do you meet often?"
"We don't meet often," Li Ji said. "Occasionally we have dinner together..."
"You seem to have a girlfriend, right?"
Tao Ping's tone suddenly became serious.
Li Ji looked suspicious and thought to himself: It's not like you don't know about this. Isn't this asking knowingly?
He was stunned for a moment, then responded casually: "Yes, everyone in the industry knows about it. I am a classmate in the university, a teacher at the finance school..."
"Since you have a girlfriend, isn't it inappropriate to pester other girls?"
Tao Ping was still smiling, but his tone was clearly a bit cold.
"I'm pestering other girls?!"
Li Jimeng was stunned and speechless for a moment.
"Young man, don't eat from the bowl and look into the pot," Tao Ping's face darkened, "You have a girlfriend, don't think about it just because your father is the director of the Banking Regulatory Commission... ..”
Director of the Banking Regulatory Commission? have a bee in one's bonnet?
Where is this going?
Li Ji was anxious and couldn't help shouting: "President Tao, when did I start thinking wildly?!"
"Hmph, you should know this better than me..." Tao Ping snorted coldly.
Li Ji was so angry that his hands shook.
"Tao, Mr. Tao, I, we are just ordinary friends, no, nothing else..."
Li Ji felt that it was difficult to explain, and couldn't help but feel angry and annoyed. His naturally stubborn personality was revealed again at this moment.
"President Tao, let's have a meal and chat together. There's no law against it, right?"
When Li Ji came to his senses, he suddenly became angry and spoke hurriedly. He actually forgot that the person in front of him was Governor Tao.
"I didn't say it, I just reminded you." The anger on Tao Ping's face flashed away, and he snorted slightly, "Young man, it's not worth it to make mistakes in this kind of thing. ah......"
Li Ji rushed out a few words and broke into a cold sweat.
This is Mr. Tao!
Out of your mind?
Got humped by a wild boar?
How could you dare to speak to President Tao like this? !
Li Ji couldn't help but regret deeply. But thinking about Tao Pingcai's words, the anger in his heart was still hard to get rid of.
He had no choice but to lower his head and stop talking, but his brows twisted into a black line unconsciously.
Unexpectedly, Tao Ping suddenly changed the subject again: "This time the bank recommends the person in charge of the credit approval center, I have also considered you..."
Li Ji raised his head and looked at Tao Ping in surprise.
"I heard that President Ye values you very much..." Tao Ping continued.
Li Ji's mind was filled with confusion at this time.
Manager Tao spoke today with a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west, which made people completely confused.
Grandma, what on earth do you want to say?
If you want to say something, just say it! Don't act like a passionate widow, always talking about a chastity memorial!
"Of course this is a good thing," Tao Ping said in a long, slow voice, "but don't forget, President Ye came from the province, and he just came to us for gilding. He can't stay for more than a year or two. We still have to leave, you follow him..."
At this point, Tao Ping suddenly stopped and looked at Li Ji with deep meaning.
Li Ji's face was expressionless, but his back was numb, and he felt a chill coming from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
"You are a smart person, you don't need me to say any more..."
Tao Ping smiled easily and seemed to be a different person in the blink of an eye.
"President Tao, President Ye just asked me to help him organize some information..." Li Ji defended.
"Well," Tao Ping nodded casually, as if he didn't hear what Li Ji said, "What you do is your own business..."
Li Ji was speechless.
"In the Credit Approval Center, Mr. Cui recommended Wang Wensheng to me. I think you may be more suitable..."
Tao Ping's words made Li Ji doubt his ears. This has been going around so much, why did it end up here again?
"Xiao Li, please listen to my advice and stay away from that girl. It's best not to meet her again." Tao Ping's eyes were a little distant and heavy. When the gun was used..."
Tao Ping's last words seemed to come out word for word.
Li Ji's heart suddenly sank.
"You will not suffer any loss if you listen to me," Tao Ping's eyes became eager. "Head of the Credit Approval Center, I can consider recommending you. As for President Ye, I will do the work... ."
After talking for a long time, Li Ji finally understood.
Cut off the branches and leaves, squeeze out a large vat of water, kick out several baskets of nonsense, just four words: coercion, inducement!
To put it simply, if you leave that girl, stay away from President Ye, and follow me closely, I will recommend you to be the person in charge of the credit approval center.
Exchange, fair exchange of interests.
Li Ji was silent.
To be honest, the position of head of the credit approval center is what he desires and dreams of.
In his lifetime, except for Liao Ying, this was the second time that he felt his heart flutter.
If this is a temptation, then this temptation is really too great. It was so big that his heart was pounding, he thought about it day and night, he could not sit still, and he was almost willing to trade everything for it.
Tao Ping crossed his legs and looked at Li Ji leisurely.
He is very confident and 100% sure.
The offer he made would be difficult for a young person, even a veteran in the workplace, to refuse.
Because only a fool would do that; and he believed that Li Ji was definitely not a fool.
To be honest, if it weren't for his nephew and to keep Ye Xin away, he would really be reluctant to pay this price.
After all, this position right now is like Tang Monk’s meat, it’s so hot that I don’t know how many pairs of eyes in the industry are staring at it!
If it weren't for the harsh conditions required by the provincial bank, probably everyone in the bank would want to sign up except for a few bank leaders.
In the past few days, just calling him and even coming to deliver gifts has kept him busy; it seems to be even more lively than when he was first promoted to deputy president of the municipal bank, even worse.
Therefore, Tao Ping was not in a hurry. He believed that no one could refuse the conditions he offered.
Tao Ping looked at Li Ji's somewhat embarrassed expression and felt even more proud.
Like a seasoned hunter, watching the prey that is about to enter the trap; a skilled fisherman, waiting for the fish to bite the hook immediately.
Time passed by second by second.
The room was eerily quiet, and even the sound of the hands of the quartz clock on the wall was so loud that one couldn't help but beat his heart along with it.
Li Ji finally stood up.
Tao Ping's eyes were soft, even a little mocking.
Just like a willful young girl waiting for the timid young man to speak loving words, she is reserved and confident.
Li Ji spoke: "President Tao, I'm sorry..."
Tao Ping was stunned and instantly turned to stone.
He stared at the young man in front of him in shock, as if he were looking at a monster.
