Ye Xin immediately felt that he had lost his composure, but did not try to hide it. He just smiled.
"Xiao Li, I really need someone to help me, really."
Ye Xin's voice was a little tired, showing a bit of helplessness and frustration.
Does this require me to express my loyalty, or do I need to submit a certificate of honor? Li Ji thought to himself. I help you, who will help me?
He was stunned and didn't answer.
Ye Xin was obviously a little disappointed. However, the displeasure flashed in his eyes.
Ye Xin waited and saw that Li Ji had no intention of speaking yet, so she snorted softly and continued: "You are young and capable, so you should play a more important role..."
Ye Xin paused and looked at Li Ji.
Li Ji felt that his whole body was covered with lice, itchy and numb, and he suddenly felt uncomfortable.
"President Ye, I..."
He murmured, then shut up again.
This time Ye Xin didn't care. He frowned, thought deeply, and said slowly: "I'm considering re-adjusting your work..."
"Reorganize my job?"
"Yes," Ye Xin nodded, with bright eyes, "You go back to the municipal bank office first and temporarily serve as the president's special assistant. Next, after the credit approval center is established, where will you go..."
Li Ji felt his face was warm and his heart was beating, and he couldn't help but let out an "ah" sound, and his throat rolled hard several times.
"This is a temporary arrangement," Ye Xin continued, "Before I leave Fengcheng, I will try to solve your position as assistant to the president..."
Li Ji's heart moved slightly, but there was no excitement at all.
Ye Xin's cake is too big and a bit far away. To a hungry person, if you promise him a big meal in the future, it is better to give him a steamed bun now.
The assistant to the president of the city branch is a senior executive and must not only be approved by the provincial bank but also approved by the Banking Regulatory Bureau. It is not something Ye Xin can do alone.
Li Ji's reaction was obviously beyond Ye Xin's expectations.
Ye Xin seemed to have guessed what Li Ji was thinking. She thought for a while and then said: "Some things have to be done step by step. There is no need to rush. I promise to solve it for you before I leave. Now I will wrong you to be my special assistant. I will What you say counts."
Li Ji was silent.
"Assistant to the President" and "Special Assistant to the President" are as different as each other.
The assistant to the president is a senior manager of the bank, with authority and authority, while the special assistant to the president is nothing more than a title, with a name but no status, and it is very empty.
To put it bluntly, the special assistant to the president is basically a follower and a staff member of Ye Xin, and his role is similar to that of the master in the ancient yamen.
"There happens to be a vacant room next to the secretary's room. I'll ask someone to add a desk and chair for you. It'll be very convenient."
Ye Xin spoke enthusiastically, as if he had regarded Li Ji as a confidant.
To be honest, if it were before, Li Ji would definitely be overjoyed and grateful. But now, his mind has changed.
Although he didn't quite understand the reason behind it, he vaguely noticed something different.
"Come over and help me share some of the work, handle some official duties, and focus on deposits and loans..."
Ye Xin continued to speak, having returned to his usual demeanor, and his face became soothed and calm.
"Also, you should focus on the Marriott Group and ask them to transfer their basic accounts to our CCB as soon as possible. If you need anything, just say it and I will support it unconditionally..."
Li Ji's heart sank a little bit.
In the workplace, just like the officialdom, the bottom layer is the exchange of interests.
It seems that all this is not for nothing. Even if it's a bad check, I still have to ask you to exchange something and pay the consideration.
From an ordinary employee to a deputy in the municipal department, Li Ji never begged anyone or gave any gifts.
No matter what others think, at least he believes that he relies on his own ability and hard work, is open-minded, and is not afraid of being poked in the back. This is also the principle of life that his father taught him since childhood.
At this moment, facing the olive branch offered by Ye Xin and the promise of being promoted to an official, Li Ji not only did not feel happy, but felt an inexplicable humiliation.
If so, he might as well go to Han Mei and ask Han Mei's father for help. At the very least, it can be regarded as relying on "one's own ability."
"President Ye, thank you..."
Li Ji spoke.
Ye Xin suddenly felt relaxed and leaned against the back of the sofa, clasping his hands and looking at Li Ji with a half-smile.
He is very confident. For this young man, this arrangement was tempting enough. This is also the highest price Ye Xin can offer so far.
But what Li Ji said later made Ye Xin's expression change instantly, and she could no longer sit comfortably. He straightened up suddenly and looked at the young man in front of him in surprise.
"However, I feel that my ability is far from enough to bear such a heavy responsibility. It may be more suitable for you to find someone else..."
Li Ji looked at Ye Xin and spoke word by word with a calm expression. Ye Xin listened intently, her eyebrows gradually coming together.
"...I'm sorry, Mr. Ye, to disappoint you."
After speaking, Li Ji glanced at Ye Xin, turned his face slightly, and stared at the small flag fluttering slightly on Ye Xin's desk.
Ye Xin's face darkened.
He didn't speak, just hummed, reached out and grabbed the cigarette that was thrown on the coffee table, bit it in his mouth, lit it, and took a few puffs slowly.
The faint gray smoke rises lightly, rising higher and higher, and gradually disappears.
Ye Xin's face was uncertain. He looked at Li Ji's profile and seemed to be deep in thought.
The room was eerily quiet, except for the quartz clock on the wall, ticking, ticking...
Li Ji felt like he was breathing heavily, as if he was locked in a small cage.
He couldn't sit down anymore. He tried several times and was about to get up and leave when he heard Ye Xin laugh heartily: "Haha, Xiao Li, you don't have to rush to answer me about this. Go back and think about it carefully. I can wait."
Li Ji was stunned and stared at Ye Xin with confusion on his face.
"Xiao Li, I always employ people without suspicion," Ye Xin stood up and patted Li Ji on the shoulder, "I believe that I will not misjudge the person. Don't you think so?"
Li Ji's body suddenly straightened up. He trembled and almost blurted out: "President Ye, I do."
Li Ji finally opened his mouth, swallowed a few times, and smiled: "President Ye, let me think about it again..."
"No rush, no rush, just think about it slowly." Ye Xin nodded, "My door is always open for you."
"Then, I'll go back first..."
Li Ji said carefully.
"Yes." Ye Xin nodded and waved her hand gently, as if a heavy burden had been lifted, "Go back."
Li Ji walked to the door and raised his hand to close the door when he heard Ye Xin smiling from behind and saying, "Go to the provincial branch for training and perform well. Don't lose the face of our Fengcheng branch."
Li Ji suddenly stopped and said "oh" subconsciously. He glanced at the face behind the smoke again, closed the door softly, and hurried downstairs without looking back.
The dark night is endless and the night wind is cold.
Li Ji stood in the dark shade of the trees on the street with a solemn expression.
After thinking for a long time, he finally took out his mobile phone and dialed Han Mei's number.
