At an intersection in the eastern suburbs of the provincial capital, Li Ji got off the bus.
Next to it is a road that follows the terrain and stretches diagonally into the distance.
Looking as far as the eye can see, amid the green cover, the gray shadow of the building can be vaguely seen.
The provincial cadre school is right there. Surrounded by low hills, rolling hills, the environment is very quiet.
Seeing that it was already getting late and there was still a class opening ceremony today, Li Ji hurriedly took a taxi and went straight to the cadre school.
The car stopped in front of Building 5.
Li Ji got out of the car and saw an eye-catching banner at the door: Provincial Construction Bank Credit Training Conference.
He hurriedly entered the door and went to the front desk to check in.
"Hello, I'm from the Fengcheng branch!"
Li Ji said as he handed over his ID card.
"Hello, please wait a moment."
The front desk clerk had a warm voice and a professional smile on her face.
Li Ji took off his backpack and sat down on the sofa nearby. Look at the watch, okay, there's still half an hour left.
After waiting for a while, there was no movement at the front desk.
Li Ji felt a little strange. He turned around and saw two waiters holding several booklets and rummaging through them.
"What's wrong?" Li Ji quickly stood up and walked over.
The waitress raised her head sheepishly: "I'm sorry, sir. Your name is not on it..."
"No my name?" Li Ji was stunned.
how come?
I asked the Human Resources Department before coming here, and my name has already been submitted.
"No way! I'm sorry, please take a look again!" Li Ji said anxiously.
The waiter was embarrassed: "We have seen it several times, but your name is not there..."
"Then, bring it over and let me take a look!"
Li Ji snatched the booklet from the waiter's hand.
He turned to the last page and finally found "Fengcheng Branch". But after reading it again, there were only five people on the list, and they really didn’t have their own names.
Li Ji was wondering when he suddenly heard the door being pushed open suddenly, and a woman holding a small suitcase rushed in hastily.
She rushed straight to the front desk, pushed Li Ji away without saying a word, and shouted loudly: "Hurry and register for me, we are going to be late!"
Li Ji was unprepared. He tilted his body and almost fell down. The booklet in his hand also fell to the ground.
Li Ji was a little annoyed and was about to ask a question, but the woman knelt down, picked up the booklet and handed it over, saying repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I, I have to go to class over there..."
Li Ji took the booklet and smiled helplessly.
The woman looked at Li Ji, then at the backpack he threw on the sofa, and couldn't help but ask: "You are also here for credit training, right?"
The woman's lips were rosy, her eyes were as black as lacquer, there was a slight trace of sweat on her pretty face, and her whole person was indescribably bright and radiant.
"Well, well..." Li Ji nodded and blushed unconsciously.
"It's almost time, why don't you get up?"
The woman raised her wrist to look at her watch, then reached out to take the ID card handed over by the waiter and put it in her bag.
"I..." Li Jiyi hesitated.
"What are you doing? Let's go!"
The woman said, coming to pull Li Ji's arm.
"Wait..." Li Jixian quickly took his ID card from the counter, grabbed his backpack, followed the woman, and ran upstairs.
The training location is on the second floor.
The two walked to the door of the conference room, and it was quiet inside.
Li Ji was about to push the door open, but was grabbed by the woman. She pointed to the back door.
Li Ji suddenly realized it, and hurriedly retracted his legs, walked over quietly, and gently pushed open a gap.
He looked inside, walked in, turned around and waved to the woman.
The woman understood, smiled quietly, picked up her suitcase and followed in.
The room was almost full.
The two sat down at the table in the last row, looked at each other, and both smiled.
Li Ji was about to speak when he heard a commotion in the conference room and immediately fell silent.
He craned his neck and looked ahead. The front door opened and a group of people walked in.
The person walking at the front was Principal Lu of the Provincial Cadre School, followed closely by Director Feng of the Provincial Human Resources Department, followed by Vice President Huang, and there were several people behind whom Li Ji didn't recognize.
Several people sat down on the rostrum.
As usual, Principal Lu walked to the microphone and delivered a speech first.
Li Ji calmed down and looked at the woman beside him.
"My name is Su Jin, from Donghai Branch."
The woman leaned closer to Li Ji and whispered, "Under her long eyelashes, there are two clear springs."
The faint fragrance seemed to be absent, and Li Ji felt slightly disturbed.
"Li Ji, Fengcheng Branch."
Li Ji said, subconsciously scratching the table with his fingers a few times.
"Yeah, you are..."
Su Jin screamed, and immediately realized something was wrong, and quickly covered his mouth with his hands.
Fortunately, everyone else was listening to the speeches on the stage, and the two of them sat at the end without anyone paying attention.
Su Jin looked both ways, stuck out his tongue, put his head in front of Li Ji, and smiled playfully: "I often read your articles in "Construction Bank News" and "East China Finance", you are a great talent..."
"Ah?" Li Ji was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "I just write casually when I have nothing to do. How can I have any talent?"
Su Jin had a pretty face and shrugged her nose: "Okay, okay, I'm not familiar with you, why are you so modest?"
Not familiar with me?
Li Ji was startled, then thought about it and couldn't help laughing silently.
With a burst of warm applause, Principal Lu's speech ended.
Director Feng continued to speak.
Li Ji looked at the thick paper in his hand and knew that the speech would not be short.
Sure enough, Director Feng started from the meaning and importance of credit approval reform, to the establishment of credit approval centers in various places, the selection of responsible persons, and so on. He spoke eloquently and eloquently for more than forty minutes.
"Oh, Feng Chu is really eloquent."
Su Jin lay on the table and winked at Li Ji.
"Why did you come here today?" Li Ji asked.
"Didn't you just come today?"
Li Jideng was choked immediately. This woman doesn't speak according to the rules.
"I, I have something to do at home..."
Su Jin smiled and winked at Li Ji: "It's just a joke, don't mind."
Li Ji was a little embarrassed and quickly looked away.
"I don't want to go with them. I came by car by myself..."
Su Jin glanced at Li Ji and whispered. Li Ji nodded with a side face but did not answer.
The person speaking on the stage has been replaced by President Huang.
Mr. Huang has a big belly and a red face. His voice is a bit hoarse, but his Mandarin with a Beijing accent is very standard.
"Our selection of the person in charge of the credit approval center is based on the principles of openness, fairness and transparency; no matter whether you have held a position before, as long as you are good enough, you don't have to worry about anything else..."
"Hey," Su Jin reached out and poked Li Ji, "I heard that the provincial bank attaches great importance to this selection, and the head office also sent someone here..."
"You are quite well informed." Li Ji tilted his head.
Su Jin pouted and rolled his eyes at Li Ji.
The leaders' speeches finally ended.
Amid even warmer applause, the leaders withdrew and the training officially began.
Li Ji felt a little uneasy, so he ran out secretly and called Chen Wen at the top of the stairs.
On the other end of the phone, Chen Wen was obviously surprised: "You have been registered. You should ask the people at the Provincial Human Resources Office first."
Li Ji entered the room and found Xiao Wu from the Human Resources Department.
Xiao Wu picked up the brochure, looked at it, and shook his head: "Your name is not on the list. Please ask your bank's HR department."
"I just asked about our personnel and they said they have already registered me."
Xiao Wu picked up the roster, looked at it again, and shook his head: "I'm not lying to you, no."
Li Ji had no choice but to go out and call Chen Wen again.
"It doesn't matter, you go to class first, and I'll ask someone to contact the provincial branch later." Chen Wen said.
Li Ji had no choice but to go back angrily.
Su Jin watched Li Ji sit down and asked quietly: "Why are you running around if you don't pay attention to the class?"
"I'm not on the training list..." Li Ji smiled bitterly.
"Without you?" Su Jin raised his eyebrows and widened his eyes, "Without you, what are you doing here? Why don't you attend class?"
"No," Li Ji was a little anxious, "I should have been on the list, but..."
Li Ji was speechless and didn't know how to explain to her.
Su Jin looked at Li Ji, blinked hard, and suddenly reached out to touch Li Ji's forehead: "I said, you don't have a fever, do you?"
"Go, you just have a fever." Li Ji trembled with fright and quickly moved his shoulders back.
At this time, someone in the front row looked back at them, and they quickly stopped talking.
Li Ji felt depressed and was not in the mood to listen to this class.
After finally making it to recess, he hurriedly went out to call Chen Wen.
"I asked someone to submit it to you again, but the provincial bank must ask the president to sign," Chen Wen said. "President Ye has gone out. When he comes back and signs, I will send a fax immediately."
Li Ji was very unhappy, but couldn't think of anything else, so he had to go back depressedly.
After the morning training, several people from the Fengcheng branch came over to say hello to Li Ji. Wang Wensheng just nodded and said nothing.
Li Ji wanted to ask what was going on, but seeing Wang Wensheng's expression as if someone owed him one billion, he simply stopped talking.
Several people followed Wang Wensheng and left. Li Ji didn't register and didn't have a meal card, so he had to sit at the front desk for a while. I was wondering if faxes in the industry could be sent out now.
"Hey, if you're not going to eat, why are you sitting here?"
Li Ji was tapped on the shoulder.
Li Ji was startled and quickly looked up. It turned out to be Su Jin.
"I, I haven't registered yet, I don't have a meal card..." Li Ji felt awkward, "I'll wait here, maybe the fax from the bank will come soon..."
"What are you waiting for? Let's eat first!" Su Jin raised his hand, "Let's go, I'll take you somewhere!"
"Why, you're not eating in the cafeteria?" Li Ji was stunned.
"The food in the cadre school cafeteria makes me full just thinking about it." Su Jin reached out and patted his belly, "I just happened to go out to eat with you."
Li Ji was still hesitating, but was dragged up by Su Jin.
"Look at you, you look like a big girl, why are you taking your time?" Su Jin shook his head and smiled, "Who made us both arrive late and bump into each other."
Li Ji had no choice but to pick up his backpack and follow Su Jin out.
