In the office of the credit manager of Hubei Financial Services Society, Xia called Yao Zhongping and asked, "Zhongping, what are you busy with these days?"

"I'm like Brother Xia, you, being invited to eat and drink all day long. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoI'm busy running errands every day, and I only have to shout, but I don't have to eat or drink. Yao Zhongping teased back.

Summer said, "Brother, I was just about to treat you to a meal and drink!"

"Brother Xia wants me to drink, I dare not drink it! Yao Zhongping asked.

"My purpose is to get together with my fellow villagers and colleagues who work in the Bank of Shenzhen, after all, I have returned to the bank and become peers again, and I want to say hello to everyone. When, are you free tonight? Summer said.

Yao Zhongping still said in a joking tone: "Mr. Xia has a treat, I dare not go?"

Summer said, "I know you're full of breath and good at singing. In this way, let's set on the Maoyuan restaurant with the best karaoke equipment in the city, how about it, okay?"

"Yes, it's up to you. ”

"Then, I will send a notice, after work in the afternoon, you will go directly to Maoyuan Restaurant. Ah, by the way, don't forget to ask your wife for leave. Summer teased.

"Is my family as mysterious as you say?" Yao Zhongping said and then reminded: "Has Guan Guangjun been in contact recently?"

"I'm going to go to his office in the afternoon to chat," Summer said. ”

Yao Zhongping said: "Do you know that he is in the Guoxin Building? Judging from my dealings with him, many of his commercial bank operating methods are worth learning from those who are engaged in credit in your financial service cooperatives. To be honest, we don't have a professional bank. ”

"Thank you for reminding me, I'm going to take the lead in the evening!" Xia said, putting down the phone.

After a while, he discussed with his fellow villagers, former subordinates, and colleagues working in China Construction Bank, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, Development Bank, insurance company, and securities company, and invited them to meet at Maoyuan Restaurant in the evening. When contacting Guan Guangjun, he also specially told him that he would visit him in the afternoon.

This Guan Guangjun was the secretary of the Youth League branch when he was in charge of youth work in the party division of the original unit in the summer, and was transferred to work at the Shenzhen Development Bank in the late 80s. After five or six years, he is already a middle-level cadre of the sub-branch. Now, he is the manager of the credit department in the branch of Guoxin Building. Since DBS is a local commercial bank, there is a certain gap in strength compared with national specialized banks, so it is quite flexible in terms of operating methods and has a more sincere service attitude towards customers than professional banks. On the other hand, financial service cooperatives are even worse in terms of financial strength and hardware, and in order to develop customers, they must be more flexible in terms of business means than flexible development banks, and have higher requirements in terms of service quality, so that they can get a piece of the pie in the competition.

In the afternoon, Xia came to Guoxin Building and found Guan Guangjun.

When old colleagues met, both sides were a little excited. The two talked about their work in the past few years. When Xia told Guan Guangjun about the recent events in the Meilin Financial Services Agency, Guan Guangjun had a melancholy expression on his face, and said with deep sympathy: "This is Shenzhen, and our kind of enterprise is also such a mechanism: when the president wants you, you are an official, and when you don't want you, then it is nothing." I am a younger and later president of the bank, and I am outstanding and successful in developing customers. Actually, that's all my shortcomings. ”

Summer nodded and said, "Coming to Shenzhen is really a training person, you have grown into a wise man." ”

Guan Guangjun said: "I don't dare to be it, but it has something to do with my own eating, and I will look at it with my heart." Now, my president respects me very much, and he consults me on big and small things, and often praises me at the conference, but the two of them are obviously not very close to each other. When he finished, a worried look flashed across his face.

Then, Xia consulted the Development Bank on some of its operational methods in terms of deposits and loans, and Guan Guangjun also knew everything and introduced them to Xia in 1510.

………

At six o'clock in the evening of the same day, summer friends came to Maoyuan Restaurant one after another, which was located on the sixth floor of Maoyuan Building, and the audio equipment was the best in Shenzhen at that time. In 1992, a large-screen flat-screen Sony TV cost about 80,000 yuan, which is difficult to find in other restaurants, but every house here has one. The audio equipment is not careful, just say that the microphone is so heavy that it is pressing, and when you ask, it is more than 4,000 yuan apiece. The song sung through this microphone is as if you are in the middle of a lofty mountain, and when you have a whim, you wrap your hands in the shape of a trumpet, and then shout with all your dantian qi: "I'm coming-", and then, you hear a sentence by sentence, overlapping "I'm coming, coming, coming-".

Yes, that's how it feels.

When Yao Zhongping arrived, Xia asked him to help him chat with his friends in the private room, while he himself waited for his friends at the door of the first floor of Maoyuan Restaurant.

At seven o'clock, when I saw that it was almost time for Summer, I returned to the private room on the sixth floor. Among the guests were two from Development Bank, three from China Construction Bank, two from Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, two from insurance companies, and two from securities companies. Summer said, "A table can you sit on?"

At this time, Yao Zhongping said: "Mr. Chen is going to come over later, and I will consider having a drink with you." ”

"Okay, take a seat. Summer said.

"I also have another client here, it's your friend Zhong Jianzhong who wants to come over to cheer, are you welcome?" said Wu Lizhong of DBS.

"Of course you're welcome, it's a friend to come, it's a pleasure!" Summer said.

"I think it's time to order food now. This Shenzhen is adjacent to Hong Kong and Macao, if you want to say anything good, I still think there is a small shortcoming, that is, there are too many flower shelves, I haven't understood the menu here, but the dishes they make are really delicious. Let's do it, carry forward democracy, everyone orders the same, and I order Huadiao drunken shrimp. The wonder of this dish is: fresh, sweet, tender, fragrant and delicious, and people have zero contact with live shrimp. Its process is: put the raw nine-section shrimp or Jiwei shrimp in a large basin full of Shaoxing Huadiao wine, so that the shrimp is drunk, unconscious, and only knows how to jump. In this way, the alcohol reaches the whole body, and then use a bamboo skewer to prick the shrimp's buttocks upwards to make it easier to catch the shrimp and control its jumping. At this time, the soup is boiled in the hot pot based on broth, and the drunken shrimp are put into the pot, boiled until seven are ripe, and the shell is removed and put into the mouth, and it is OK. How about a few pounds?"

Guan Guangjun said: "I have been in Shenzhen for a few years, and I really haven't tasted it, so let's go on it!"

In the summer, I asked the waiter to make five catties of drunken shrimp.

Wu Lizhong said: "I order geoduck and eat it raw. ”

Liu Xiaoxiong said: "Then no longer add a plate of oysters, it is also eaten raw." How?"

Summer said, "Order!"

Yao Zhongping said: "Let's make a lobster of about three catties, eat one shrimp and two shrimps, and steam them with garlic; ”

Guan Guangjun said: "I ordered a white boiled Dongfeng snail, three catties is enough, right?"

………

One night, people were very happy while eating and chatting, and the old colleagues in the summer all came to Shenzhen before the summer, and it should be said that they were a group of people who got rich first. They are naturally embarrassed to pay for the summer when they come to eat, and everyone has ideas and methods for paying for it. And one of the purposes of meeting them in the summer is to hope that everyone can help him. During the banquet, everyone toasted and expressed their desire to contribute to the summer.

After a while, the waiter knocked on the door, and when the door opened, Zhong Jianzhong, the boss of Jiaying Laser Company, stood outside the door, Xia and Wu Lizhong immediately stood up and greeted them, and Xia held Zhong Jianzhong's hand and said, "Welcome to Mr. Zhong!"

Liu Xiaoxiong said: "If you are late, you will be fined three glasses of wine!"

Zhong Jianzhong wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, is handsome, and has a very literati temperament. I only heard him whisper: "I'm really sorry, I'm late, I'm going out at seven o'clock, and a fax came from Beijing, and I have dealt with it until now." ”

Summer hurriedly asked the waiter to make a seat and let Zhong Jianzhong sit down. Summer personally poured the wine and brought it to his table. At this time, Zhong Jianzhong said: "My driver didn't come tonight, I drove by myself, as you know, I drove halfway home, the level is low, three months ago, I just brought back the new car to Xianhu, and it went to the ravine in broad daylight." Therefore, I dare not drink too much wine. After everyone finished eating, I sang a few songs to relieve everyone's hangover. How?"

Liu Xiaoxiong said: "Isn't the reason for not drinking too exaggerated? You know the story of the in-laws' invitation to drink: I refused to drink when I was really invited, and when I left, I beat my chest and broke the handle of the umbrella because I didn't drink alcohol. ”

Zhong Jianzhong lifted his glasses, smiled shyly, and said very gracefully: "Our two parents' families won't be like this, right?"

Everyone laughed. Because Zhong Jianzhong's son just turned six years old, and Liu Xiaoxiong and his wife just gave birth to a daughter, Zhong Jianzhong's statement is taking advantage of Liu Xiaoxiong.

After a while, the waiter stood at the door with Mr. Chen, the general manager of Yao Zhongping, Chen Xinquan of Shenzhen Environmental Protection Electromechanical Franchise Company, and hurriedly greeted him in the summer.

Chen Xinquan said embarrassedly: "It's late!"

Yao Zhongping said: "This will be punished with three glasses of wine." ”

After Chen Xinquan sat down, the waiter poured him wine, and Yao Zhongping said: "Mr. Chen, I toasted with you, and then, I will introduce you to the bank folks here one by one, is this fair?"

"Okay, I'll listen to Section Chief Yao. After Chen Xinquan finished speaking, he stood up and toasted with Yao Zhongping.

"This Manager Xia, our eldest brother, you know each other, this Guan Guangjun doesn't need to be introduced, this is Wu Lizhong of the Credit Department of the Development Bank,......"

After a while, when the people had finished eating, the waiter removed the table and began to sing.

Singing is Yao Zhongping's strong point, he ordered a piece of music from "Under the Banyan Tree", and then stood up and sang:

Under a banyan tree on the side of the road,

It's a place I miss.

Clear skies,

Cool wind,

There is also an intoxicating smell of green grass.

And you go around the path and bends,

Lover hillside looking at the sunset.

The sunset shines on your face,

The love story is endless.

Ahh

Have you ever thought of the scent of green grass.

Under a banyan tree on the side of the road,

It's where I see you.

Sweet smile,

Kind words,

There is also a long silent affection.

Thou hast accompanied me in the spring light,

Gently tell the grievances in your heart.

Remember that spring has passed,

It's just that the old things can't be forgotten.

Ahh

Have you ever thought of the scent of green grass.

Under a banyan tree on the side of the road,

It's a place I miss.

Clear skies,

Cool wind,

There is also an intoxicating smell of green grass.

And you go around the path and bends,

Lover hillside looking at the sunset.

The sunset shines on your face,

The love story is endless.

Ahh

Have you ever thought of the scent of green grass.

After Yao Zhongping finished singing, there was a round of warm applause and cheers.

At this time, Zhong Jianzhong stood up, held the microphone in his hand and said: "I asked Section Chief Yao for advice and dedicated a song "Spring in the North" in the same tune as "Under the Banyan Tree", I hope you can like it." ”

As the music played, he stepped on the beat with his left foot and sang affectionately:

Pavilion white birch long blue sky,

A slight southerly wind.

Magnolia blossoms on the hill,

Spring in the North,

The spring of the north has arrived.

The city doesn't know the change of seasons,

I don't know if the seasons have changed.

Mom is still sending a package,

Sent winter clothes to protect against the harsh winter.

Hometown, hometown, my hometown,

When will I be able to return to your arms.

The remnants of snow melt and the streams murmur,

The single-plank bridge is self-crossing.

The first buds of larch are raised,

Spring in the North,

The spring of the north has arrived.

Though we have loved each other in our hearts,

So far, he has not yet expressed his true feelings.

It's been five years since we broke up,

Can my girl be at peace?

Hometown, hometown, my hometown,

When will I be able to return to your arms.

Begonia thickets are misty,

The watermill hut is quiet.

There were bursts of children's songs,

Spring in the Northland.

Ah, the spring of the North has arrived.

My brother is like an old father,

A pair of taciturn people.

Have you ever been idle and sorrowful for wine,

How many drinks do you have occasionally?

Hometown, hometown, my hometown,

When will I be able to return to your arms.

After Zhong Jianzhong finished singing, there was another round of warm applause.

Their singing is like the lobster's shrimp eating two - each has its own merits. Yao Zhongping sang the strong voice of the young man with the lyrics of "Under the Banyan Tree" clearly and brightly, while Zhong Jianzhong's "Spring in the North" performed with the dantian spirit of a middle-aged man fully demonstrated the perseverance and will of Shenzhen entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs.

A song came down, and everyone was excited. As a result, this group of drunken fellows took the stage one by one with the courage to drink and walk their throats, and their drunken and naïve states were revealed, and there was no need to expose them.

At one o'clock in the morning, everyone was ready to go back. Chen Xinquan and Zhong Jianzhong rushed to settle the account before the summer.

Summer went downstairs to look for his bicycle and found that it was missing, and there was only a chain that had been cut in the parking lot. In the summer, I remembered what people said: "It's not Shenzhen people who haven't lost their bicycles", and I thought to myself, I'm an old Shenzhen, and I lost two bicycles in a month.

At this time, Yao Zhongping had just driven out of his van from the parking lot, and when he saw that Summer's bicycle was lost, he asked Summer to get on the car and send him to Sungang Village before returning home.
