One morning in March 2001, in the summer, he returned to the Hubei branch of the Citizens Bank in order to pay his dues to the party organization. At this time, the Hubei sub-branch has moved into a new office next to Shennan Road: the sales department has rented nearly 100 square meters of shop space on the first floor of a high-rise building, while other offices are located on more than ten floors of the high-rise building. This consideration is mainly to save on the cost of renting.

When I came to the office in the summer, there were president's office, vice president's office, office, and confidential room around the credit office of Nuoda, and only Li Guolan, an old subordinate, and the original confidential officer Han Xiaoniu were sitting in the credit office. Summer greeted Han Xiaoniu, who was as enthusiastic as when she was working, and when she moved her eyes to Li Guolan, Li Guolan lowered her head and avoided Summer's eyes. Xia saw it in his eyes, so he ignored her anymore, and asked Han Xiaoniu instead, "How is the last year?"

Han Xiaoniu said generously: "There is nothing good or bad, I am not in the office anymore, I am engaged in marketing in the credit department, and it is difficult to complete the deposit task! Manager Xia, you have a lot of connections to help me." ”

Summer asked, "Why don't you see those people from last year?"

Han Xiaoniu said: "As soon as you left, Gao Shang was transferred back to the head office. Wang Yang went down to the sales department and was reduced in salary, Shen Ping and Xiao Liu and other three people who came with big depositors have already arrived at the Shuibei branch, and there are not many people you know here. Deposits are also about the same. Hey, what are you doing today?"

Xia said: "I'm here to pay the party dues today, and by the way, I want to transfer the file, and I want to ask you to help with it!"

Han Xiaoniu said: "Director Xie went to the head office for a meeting, I'll see if President Hu can help handle it, so that you don't have to walk around." After she finished speaking, she knocked on the door of Hu Hui's office and entered. After a while, Hu Hui walked out of the office with Han Xiaoniu and came to the hall of the credit department.

Looking at Hu Hui at this time in the summer, he was wearing an unironed suit hanging on his body, and his hair looked loose, showing sloppiness. The fat on the two faces is red and black, as if it is relaxed from the cheeks, highlighting this kid's overly drunk and preoccupied anxious mentality, which is not at all the proud style of the spring breeze when he reported on his work last year.

When Hu Hui's eyes met Xia Xia with a little kindness, Xia greeted him neither humbly nor arrogantly: "President Hu, I came today to pay my party dues this year, Xie Tongban is not here, can you help me collect it?"

Hu Hui said: "Yes, Director Xie went to the head office for a meeting. I'll collect it for you, and I'll pass it on to him when he returns. ”

In this way, Hu Hui collected the party dues paid in the summer and signed Hu Hui's name on the party membership handbook.

In the summer, he walked out of the credit hall again, and handed over Han Xiaoniu to help him go through the file transfer procedures and go to the head office to transfer the file after returning from the Xie Tong Office, and Han Xiaoniu happily agreed.

Just as Xia finished handing over the relevant matters and was about to leave, the door of the vice president's office opened, and Chen Jiao seemed to know the arrival of summer, with a smile on his face, and said to Xia: "Old Xia is here?

Summer said, "Yes, come and pay the party dues." ”

"We have been old friends for many years, come and sit in my office. ”

Summer followed Chen Homework a little reservedly to his office. After sitting down, Chen Jiao asked, "How is it, how are you after you go out?"

Summer said calmly, "It's okay. What about you? I see so many familiar ones gone, and you're having a good time, aren't you?"

Chen homework said: "If there is anything that goes well or not, if you don't let me care, I will take care of it." Who wouldn't be lazy? I'm leaving this year, too. What unit are you in now?"

Xia did not answer Chen's words directly, but said: "I entrusted Han Xiaoniu to help me go through the file transfer procedures, and there is a file acceptance letter there." After finishing speaking, he asked again: "How is it, do you have an understanding of Hu Hui's methods and scheming?"

I will stay until the end of the year, and I will leave this place before the end of the year." Let him go and think about it!"

In conversations with Chen, Summer always felt that he was scheming against himself. Perhaps it was because of his scheming that the loan case of the West Lake Spring Securities Management Company, which was originally inseparable from him, did not finally crush him, and he was taken off the black hat of the vice president.

Xia thought: "Compared with President Wang, Chen Homework is unwilling to make friends with his heart, and he is far worse than Wang Xianyao. As the saying goes, if you don't speculate for more than half a sentence, it's useless to talk more. Let's go talk to my old subordinate Guan Guangjun!"

So, Xia got up to say goodbye to Chen Jiao, and after arriving at the elevator room, he pressed the floor on the fifteenth floor and came to the president's office of a branch of Guangdong Development Bank. Here, he chatted happily with his old colleagues Guan Guangjun, Liu Xiaoqiang, and Zhang Qingsong.

On the way home, while driving in the car, Summer filtered the images of meeting Hu Hui and Chen homework in his mind. Then, he said to himself in his heart: "The Book of Changes says: 'The house of goodness must have Yu Qing! The house of bad deeds must have aftermath!' Looking at the appearance of Hu Hui and Lao Chen, I know that they are already in trouble, and it is really in response to what the virtuous monarch Taijia of the Shang Dynasty said: 'Heaven is still against evil, and self-inflicted evil cannot live.'" 'What's the trouble!'

Ten days later, Xia called Han Xiaoniu and asked her if the file adjustment procedures she helped with had been completed? Han Xiaoniu replied: "I'm sorry, Manager Xia, I have the heart to do it for you, but after discussing with the president, Xie Tong's office said: 'He still has something to discuss, ask him to call me.'" It seems that you have to contact him personally to do it. ”

Summer said, "Did he say anything?"

Han Xiaoniu said: "This is not true, but you can call him!"

Xia said: "By grasping my file, we can make the Citizen Bank profitable? Why bother in the first place if I knew this was the case? Xie Tong's office is the same, if you want to take the initiative to find me for something, and you want me to call him? Nonsense! If the file is not adjusted, it will be kept at the Citizen Bank! Let them keep it for me. ”

It turned out that the letter written to the leaders of the head office in the summer at the end of 1999 had been circulated among the cadres at or above the vice president level of the head office. At that time, there were three attitudes:

One is the opinion represented by Shen Yifeng and Huang Lu: cold treatment, look at Hu Hui's actions. If Hu Hui, as the head of the branch, can hold up all the sky of the Hubei branch, what's the big deal about staying in a summer?

The other is that Shen Rong, an upright discipline inspection and supervision cadre, can't rub sand in his eyes, when he hears that an outstanding Communist Party member has been lost his job, and no one is allowed to find a bowl of rice to eat, a kind of northern man's upright feelings jumped on the paper, it was really angry from the heart, hatred to the guts, and angrily put pen to paper, so that the summer was smoothly transferred.

The other group of vice presidents who read this letter, although they are well aware of the key role played by assisting Wang Xianyao in the work of the Hubei branch in the summer of the past few years, they are not in charge of their own affairs, and it is better to take care of it less. This is just like the Hakka Mountain song at the junction of Jiangxi and Guangdong:

Dwarf Grandma –

The key is at the foot of the door;

But it's not my sister-in-law who is in charge,

If my sister-in-law is in charge,

Come over for tea!

Therefore, although they read the summer letter, they were silent one by one, for fear that they would be involved in right and wrong.

However, with the problem of Huang Lu, the president of the People's Bank, the burden of the business work of the head office fell more on the shoulders of Vice President Shen Yimin, especially in the "three clearances" work in his charge. He pointed out at the meeting more than once: "Blowing away some people who have made a difference is one of the reasons why it is difficult for the people's bank to collect money." Why can't some sub-branches be kind to them after the leadership team changes?"

After this kind of wind blew too much, Hu Hui saw that he was in a situation where he was exhausted, and he was reluctant to transfer out of the summer personnel file.

In the summer, he never took the initiative to talk to Xie Tongban of the Hubei branch on the phone.

Half a year later, Han Xiaoniu, who was not happy with her work, also asked someone to find a disciple and left the Hubei branch, and was transferred to the Tianbei branch to continue to work as her bank credit salesman.

In early April 2002, I came to Hubei Branch again in the summer to pay the party dues for that year.

At this time, in addition to Hu Hui, who was still his president, Chen Jiaojiao was finally transferred, and he was replaced by Chen Shanshi, the assistant to the general manager of the asset loss prevention department of the head office. He was promoted to the new post of Hubei Branch by half a level and served as vice president.

Chen Shanshi was sent to the Hubei sub-branch to strengthen the construction of the sub-branch when Hu Hui was discredited and asked to leave the Citizen Bank but the head of the head office refused to let him go, so he had no intention of doing things, and he also blamed the poor business performance on the large number of old loans, which made it difficult for the branch to return. His arrival has the momentum to reopen up the situation of old loan collection. However, he spent several years in the retreat of the head office, and he did not talk much, but he did very little productive work. As far as the old loan users of the financial service agency are concerned, the loan time has been almost nearly ten years, and many enterprises that do not want to repay the loan have long been closed and closed, but you have filed for bankruptcy and sent someone to audit, which is really a bit of a suspicion, and the effect is naturally not much better.

But he said that when he came to the credit office hall of Hubei Branch in the summer, he only saw Li Guolan alone, and he greeted her in the summer, and walked directly to the office of Xie Tongban, explaining his intention to Xie Tongban, and Xie Tongban said: "It's been so long, it's expired." ”

Xia said: "At this time last year, I paid the party dues for a year, and Hu Hui directly handled them, how can I say that they have expired? I thought of the party organization in my heart, and I came to the door to pay the party dues, which is an expression of love for the party. ”

Xie Tongban said: "I will ask President Hu. After speaking, he took the summer party fee card and walked to Hu Hui's office.

At this time, Xia chatted with Li Guolan about the past year, and Li Guolan, who was "the only one left", was also quite sad, but he didn't dare to say more. The two eye circles seemed to be slightly ruddy.

Summer saw it in his eyes and searched in his mind for a while, and a pair of famous sentences finally put on the head of Miss Li, the "only remaining fruit" of the old department after Hu Hui took power.

If the official is curious and asks which two sentences it is? I only hear the rumbling in the throat of the summer, then two sentences in Qin Guan's "Spring Day" burst out:

The affectionate peony contains spring tears, and the powerless rose lies on the branches.

At this time, Xie Tongban walked out of the president's office with the summer party fee card, and the summer stepped forward and asked, "How is it?"

Xie Tongban said: "I'll help you collect it! ”

After completing the formalities in the summer, Xie Tongban did not mention the personnel file again. Xia walked to the credit office, waved to Li Guolan, and came to the elevator room.

While waiting for the elevator to go downstairs, Summer sighed with emotion:

Alone on the high-rise building, the flow of people is like water.

Colleagues of the same generation are now in the desert and recall the year before last.
