"Knocking the mountain to shake the tiger?"
Ye Xin stood up and stared at Li Ji with interest.
"Tell me about the 'knocking on the mountain to shake the tiger' method."
Ye Xin walked over, closed the door, turned around, picked up a pack of cigarettes on the table, popped one out, lit it, and smoked with narrowed eyes.
"President Ye, I thought about it, is it possible to do this..."
Li Ji stood up, approached Ye Xin, and expressed his thoughts.
After hearing this, Ye Xin lowered his head and meditated. It wasn't until the cigarette burned his fingers that he woke up with an "ah" sound.
Ye Xin looked at Li Ji silently, and after a moment, she said slowly: "Well, let's do it..." After saying that, she threw away the cigarette butt and rubbed her face hard with her hands.
Li Ji nodded. After waiting for a while, when Ye Xin stopped talking, he closed the door and walked out.
The corridor was eerily quiet.
Li Ji stood at the top of the stairs. After a brief moment of joy, he suddenly felt a heavy feeling in his heart.
Have you changed yourself? Is this considered a "despicable" means? What would they think if others knew about it?
Li Ji thought like this and couldn't sleep well that night.
The next day the autumn was crisp and the wind was gentle and sunny.
In a high-end villa area in Fengcheng, there is a clean and tidy small courtyard.
Tao Ping, wearing a T-shirt, white socks and cloth shoes, is holding a watering can high, watering the flowers and plants.
The morning sun fell on him. His back was straight, his hair was shiny, his face was rosy, and he looked a little sick.
He was calm and calm, like a confident old farmer, just waiting for the moment of harvest.
You, Ye Xin, are great. You came from the province and are the number one. If I can't afford to offend you, can I still afford to hide?
You think a few liability letters can scare them away. They all grew up eating rice and noodles, so they are not intimidated.
I haven't seen anything in all these years. Signing is to give you face, but whether to do it or not is another matter.
A small leak will sink a great ship. Don't fight for the length of time, take a step back, the sea and the sky will be brighter.
Anyway, Tao Ping has already hooked up with Governor Huang and has done all the work he needs to do. There is someone at the provincial bank who can speak for him.
More haste less speed.
Although Tao Ping dreamed of experiencing what it was like to be a real master for a while, he also knew that this matter could not be rushed.
After all, Ye Xin still had some connections in the province, and it was difficult to touch him easily without a defensible reason. Then again, if you make adjustments in less than half a year, isn't this a slap in the face for the provincial government?
Tao Ping can wait for three months. It’s been twenty or thirty years, why can’t you wait three months?
Tao Ping firmly believes that after the end of the year, the person named Ye will definitely leave. Until then, the Fengcheng branch's surname was still "Tao", not "Ye".
"I am originally a Sandan person from Wollongong. Discussing yin and yang is like turning the palm of my hand to protect the universe..."
Thinking of his success, Tao Ping couldn't help humming the lyrics from "The Empty City Strategy".
The sun rose higher and higher, and a thin layer of sweat formed on Tao Ping's forehead. He put down the watering can, picked up the maza under the steps, and sat comfortably in the warm autumn sun.
The autumn sun is like wine, making people drunk.
For a moment, Tao Ping suddenly wanted to just water the flowers, bask in the sun, and live his life without fighting. How nice it would be.
But when he thought of the scene in the meeting that day, he became furious, a fire immediately lit up in his heart, and he could no longer calm down.
This face must be regained, and this revenge must be avenged. The muscles in Tao Ping's cheeks began to jump again.
I originally wanted to take advantage of Director Han's relationship with the Banking Regulatory Bureau, but my nephew was really disappointing.
He usually flirts with others, showing mercy here and sowing seeds there. He seems quite capable. But when it was time to show off, he was a waste.
I have been dating Director Han's precious daughter for several months. Apart from eating, shopping, and watching movies, I have never even held her hand.
Tao Ping couldn't help but be disappointed. This child is very similar to me in some aspects, but very unlike me in other aspects.
Fortunately, Director Han gave Tao Ping some face and helped him introduce President Huang of the Provincial Construction Bank.
However, Tao Ping couldn't say anything more.
Only Tao Ping and that woman knew about those things. Of course, this cannot be said under any circumstances, and it is absolutely not allowed to be known to others.
Thinking of the plump and plump woman he called "sister-in-law", Tao Ping's body felt warm, and he had the urge to work hard to plow the fields and sow seeds.
Indeed, except for her rougher skin, that woman was no worse than Wang Shulan in other aspects.
Warmth. Tao Ping closed his eyes slightly, enjoying the morning and sunshine that belonged to him.
At this time, the sound of cars came from outside the yard. After a while, someone knocked gently on the courtyard door.
Tao Ping opened his eyes and looked toward the door. The door was pushed open through a gap, and someone poked his head in.
Tao Ping quickly stood up, took two steps forward, and waved enthusiastically: "Xiao Cui, come in."
A figure flashed at the door, and Cui Hao walked in first. There was a woman following behind, it was Wang Shulan.
Tao Ping was stunned: "President Wang, why are you here too?"
Since Tao Ping took a sick leave, Cui Hao has come to his home every day to "report work" to him. However, it is always after get off work or at night.
In broad daylight, Cui Hao came over when he was at work, which made Tao Ping feel a little strange. Wang Shulan also came, and he felt that something must have happened in the industry.
Tao Ping already knew the deposit and loan data at the end of this month. A slight increase, but a huge gap from the target. This is naturally not what Ye Xin wants, but it is what Tao Ping hopes to see.
Almost all branch presidents are natives of Fengcheng; the few who come from other places have also settled in the local area.
It’s easy for people from the countryside to get things done.
With his Taoping prestige, the contacts he has accumulated over the years, and the overt and covert activities of Wang Shulan and others, it is a piece of cake to deal with several branch presidents. Several bank presidents who felt a little embarrassed also gave in under the pressure of "stick and carrot".
If the tiger doesn't show off its power, it will still treat you as a sick cat. As soon as this monthly report comes out, people named Ye will know how powerful it is.
The Chengdong branch was something he intentionally showed to the provincial bank.
This is Tao Ping's base camp, so it can't be obvious. At least I, Tao Ping, am working hard to support the president's work. I can't make the decision in other branches.
Tao Ping smiled reservedly and combed his thinning hair with one hand.
"President Tao, when do you plan to go back to work?"
Before Tao Ping could ask questions, Cui Hao spoke first.
"Work?" Tao Ping snorted, "I'll wait until my illness is completely cured. Now I have to take care of myself."
"President Tao, don't you know? Everyone in the industry is talking about it now..." Wang Shulan interrupted.
"What are you talking about?" Tao Ping was stunned.
"I don't know who spread the news, but they are saying that Mr. Tao is going to retire early due to illness..."
"Nonsense!" Tao Ping yelled and swung his hand in front of him, "I'm doing a good job, why should I retire!"
"Several branch presidents called me to inquire," Wang Shulan said. "I couldn't explain much. I just told them that President Tao has a minor illness and will be fine after a few days of rest."
"Damn, I'm so angry!"
Tao Ping grabbed the kettle and threw it out.
"Old leader, could you please think about it again? If time passes, I'm afraid some people will think nonsense and talk nonsense..."
Tao Ping resentfully walked several steps down the steps, turned around and said angrily: "This must be the man named Ye who is behind this!"
"Yes, I guess so," Wang Shulan nodded, "but I'm afraid some people will have other ideas if they take it seriously."
If people's hearts are lost, it will be difficult to lead the team. Tao Ping understood such a simple truth without Wang Shulan's reminder.
He originally wanted to give up the challenge and reap the benefits of making someone named Ye look good. Failure to do so may be self-defeating, making people really think that he was squeezed out by the new president, could no longer work, and retired early.
People are there and favors are there. When people leave, the tea gets cold. Tao Ping didn't want to lift a rock and hit himself in the foot.
He thought for a while and said, "I know about this. You can go back first."
Cui Hao wanted to say something else, but looked at Wang Shulan and closed his mouth again.
When they reached the door, Wang Shulan did not forget to remind Tao Ping: "President Tao, the night is long and I have many dreams. I'm worried that some people have started to move."
Wang Shulan's guess was correct. At this moment, Wei Dayong, the president of the Chengbei branch, was sitting in Ye Xin's office.
As an "old oil man" who has been working at the grassroots level for many years, he has learned nothing else but the ability to observe words and emotions and change the rudder based on the wind.
No matter who is the branch president, it is the same for him. Wei Dayong knew how much he was worth, so he didn't dare to have any extravagant expectations, as long as he could be the president of his branch safely.
Unexpectedly, the city gate caught fire, affecting Chiyu. Now the first-in-command and the second-in-command are quarreling, forcing you to take sides.
It's not scary to stand on the wrong side. What's scary is that once you stand on the wrong side, years of struggle will be lost and you will be back before liberation overnight.
At first, Wei Dayong instinctively chose Tao Ping. Wang Shulan was right. Ye Xin was just here to plating gold. Maybe he left before the gold plating was finished, which was unreliable.
But now Tao Ping is sick and has not been at work for several days. News has spread in the industry that Tao Ping will retire early.
The source of the information is unavailable. Some said it was the Credit Department, some said it was the Human Resources Department; some said it was the Banking Regulatory Bureau, and some even said it was the Provincial Bank of China.
Wei Dayong was dubious. But what those people say about having noses and eyes is so serious that you can’t help but believe it.
After thinking about it for a while, Wei Dayong finally decided to do something first. So, he mustered up the courage and knocked on the door of President Ye's office.
After staying in the president's office for nearly an hour, Wei Dayong came out. The look on his face was obviously much more relaxed, his hunched back seemed to straighten out suddenly, and his walking steps became much longer.
Then, after Wei Dayong, several branch presidents went to the municipal branch to meet and talk with President Ye.
By the time Wang Shulan got the exact news in the afternoon, at least seven branch presidents had visited President Ye's office that day.
Wang Shulan couldn't sit still, she clearly felt something.
Finally, she called Tao Ping: "President Tao, if you don't come back, I think things will really change!"
