Yao Liang has been anxiously awaiting the convening of the board of directors, although Zhou Liwen has made it clear in his previous meetings that his promotion to vice president is not appropriate, not only will he be strongly opposed by the bank and the board of directors, but even if he is reluctantly promoted, he may lose the power of the credit department.

Yao Liang himself knows in his heart that these problems raised by Zhou Liwen do exist, but for him, his heart is still full of temptation in the face of the position of vice president. Governor Su is about to retire, even if he doesn't retire this time, the next time the board of directors will be at his age. In other words, these two years are the most critical moments, and if he is not promoted to the post of vice president during this period of time, even if he has great power in the bank, he will completely lose hope of competing for the post of president.

Of course, this hope of completely losing the presidency is not forever, but at least it will be a few years or even a decade. How many years and decades are there in life? Although Yao Liang could afford to wait, he still didn't want to waste this precious time.

For this reason, he has been active in the industry a lot these days, on the one hand, he inquired about the news with President Su, hoping that the other party would be on his side. Yao Liang knew that his popularity at the top of Huhai Bank was not good, and the four vice presidents either had conflicts with him or looked down on him, a young man. From this point of view, he belongs to President Su's "descendant", and even for a while, Yao Liang had the idea of completely defecting to President Su and making a decision with Zhou Liwen. However, that time Zhou Liwen left a deep lesson on him丨 almost messed things up, if it wasn't for Zhou Liwen letting him go in the end, plus he was implementing President Su's plan at the beginning, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to sit down in the position of director of the credit department.

What disappointed Yao Liang was that President Su had never expressed his attitude towards his loyalty and hints, and said a set of cloud-covered and foggy words and played Tai Chi with himself. Even a few days ago, at the critical juncture when the board of directors was about to be held, President Su actually went to Su City to inspect the work, which was obviously hiding from himself.

In recent years, as the head president, President Su has been to the grassroots inspection work except for the establishment of branches in several important regions? Moreover, Yao Liang is not without ears and eyes in Su City, he has long inquired and learned that President Su did not go to the branch there at all, and the specific work was done by Vice President Lin, as soon as President Su arrived in Su City, he went to live in the yacht club over there, and stayed leisurely for a few days, not even half of the outsiders.

Governor Su's attitude made Yao Liang's heart beat the drum. Moreover, he also heard that Vice President Qiao asked to see President Su under the pretext of reporting to work for three days. This proves that Vice President Qiao is also eyeing the position of the head of the bank, and once he succeeds, Yao Liang will have a sad life in the future.

In two days, the board of directors will be officially convened, and Yao Liang's mood is becoming more and more irritable. He was even ready to borrow the power of local branches to put pressure on President Su and the board of directors to achieve his own goals. However, this move is not so easy to walk, once it gets out of this move, it means that the relationship between Yao Liang and Governor Su has completely deteriorated, and if both sides lose, the gains outweigh the losses.

Just when Yao Liang was entangled and wondering whether to talk to Zhou Liwen again, he received a call from President Su unexpectedly, this old man Su chatted with him kindly on the phone, and then asked him if he had any arrangements tonight, and if not, he would invite him to eat at home.

"Don't worry, I'll be on time"

Yao Liang, who was a little excited, said this on the phone, and his excited expression showed color after hanging up the phone. He secretly guessed if things had turned around, could it be that Zhou Liwen had made arrangements for himself without his knowledge? You must know that the old guy Governor Su never invites people to his home, and even refuses to be visited by his subordinates during the New Year's holidays. But today he took the initiative to let himself go to dinner, and it seems that something is coming.

In the afternoon, Yao Liang found an excuse to go to the mall in advance and prepared a gift for the visit. At night, Yao Liang drove the car quietly to the community where Governor Su lived, parked the car, and walked briskly towards Governor Su's house with the gift in his hand.

Governor Su's community is an old-fashioned community built in the 80s, which is similar to the kind of community where Zhou Liwen's parents used to live, with one-story houses, the exterior walls of which have not been refreshed for many years have been old, and the streets of the community are also potholes, and there will even be water accumulation in some places when it rains.

As the head of a commercial bank, I didn't dare to imagine that President Su would live in such a place. It is said that this is the house he shared when he was the director of the credit union, and he has lived there for 2 years and has not moved.

When I entered the doorway, the lights in the corridor had long been broken, and there were no voice-activated lights installed in this old-fashioned community. Yao Liang, who was carrying things, went upstairs with one foot deep and one foot shallow, climbed to the third floor, and found the location of Su Xingchang's house with the light from the inner balcony walkway from the street lamp outside.

Rang the doorbell, and after a short time, a closed wooden door opened from the inside, and Governor Su, who was wearing a sweater, wearing an apron around his waist, and rolled up his sleeves, saw Yao Liang coming, and greeted him with a smile.

When I entered the room, I found that behind the wooden door was not a room, but a corridor between the inner balconies of the two rows. However, the two families put together a wooden door near the staircase, and then closed the inner balcony and turned it into a shared kitchen.

"Lao Su, are you a guest at home?" Leaning on the stove inside, a woman who was nearly 6 years old was busy working, and when she saw President Su opening the door and bringing in a young man, she asked with a smile.

"Colleagues in the unit come and sit down, you are busy, let's go in first." President Su greeted his neighbor with a smile like an ordinary old man next door, and then opened the door of his house and led Yao Liang inside.

Governor Su's house is the largest area on this floor, and of course, the largest area refers to relatively. Compared with other houses that only have more than 3 or 0 square meters, his two-and-a-half-bedroom house with more than 6 square meters of bedrooms facing south is the best.

Entering the door, Yao Liang looked at the layout inside, the original place where he came in was the kitchen has been changed into a small living room, on the left is the bathroom and a one-and-a-half-bedroom room door, and on the front is another bedroom. Since the small living room does not have a window facing outward, it will be very dim if the lights are not turned on.

"You came here as soon as I finished cooking, and the time was quite accurate." Governor Su took off his apron and threw it into the bathroom with the door open, and then beckoned Yao Liang to walk towards the one-and-a-half-room room.

Pushing the door in, Yao Liang found that this one-and-a-half room has been fully opened and has become a large room of about 8 square meters.

"My wife left a few years ago, and the children are not around, and one bedroom is enough for one to live in, how about it, this room is not bad, right?"

"Yes, it's really good" Yao Liang replied duciously, showing a very admiring look on the surface, but in fact, this old man Su is really good at putting on a show. This old guy has been sitting in the position of president and chairman of the board of directors of Shanghai Bank for so many years, and he still lives in such a dilapidated house, and he deliberately gets complacent about such a dilapidated house that is not even as good as his own kitchen? Is this necessary?

Not to mention his current status, let's just say that before the establishment of Huhai Bank, with the position and income of President Su, it was natural to live in a better house than his own bungalow. You must know that although his wife passed away a few years ago, Yao Liang also knows that his son and daughter are now abroad, and I heard that the business is still doing very well. But he still lives in this old house, and he looks hard and simple, and even his neighbors don't seem to know his real position, and only treat him as an ordinary person.

Is this necessary? Yao Liang shook his head secretly, no wonder this old guy never wanted his subordinates to visit him, could it be that he put on such a posture to make people think that he had a clean breeze on his sleeves and was upright?

The dish prepared by President Su was very simple, a plate of fried chicken hair, a plate of scrambled eggs, plus a plate of fish-flavored eggplant, and a steamed osmanthus fish, and then a vegetarian soup. It's all ordinary home-cooked food that can't be ordinary anymore, took a towel to wipe his hands, and Governor Su smiled and beckoned Yao Liang to sit down and let him try his craft.

At this time, Yao Liang remembered to hand over the gift he had been carrying in his hand. Seeing Yao Liang bring a gift, President Su raised his face and blamed him a few words, Yao Liang hurriedly explained: "You invited me to dinner, as a guest, I have to bring some gifts to the door, not to mention that you are the first time I have come back." Don't worry, I know your rules, and I didn't bring anything, just two bottles of wine. ”

"Wine?"

"Look at you, don't you have high blood pressure, I want to drink wine just right, it's not a brand-name product, it's just a wine without a brand from a friend, borrow flowers and offer Buddha to you to taste new."

I took out the wine bottle from the packaging bag and looked at it, and sure enough, as Yao Liang said, there was no special label on it, but there was an incomprehensible thing pasted in English. Governor Su nodded slightly, said no example, and then put one bottle aside, picked up the other bottle and said, "Okay, let's drink this wine today."

found Qizi and took two more glasses, Governor Su opened the wine and poured two glasses, and after a while, he first tasted it, then raised his eyebrows, and took another big sip.

"This wine tastes good, Xiao Yao, you have a heart."

"If you like it, if you like it, if you like it...... Seeing Governor Su drinking wine like a soda, Yao Liang's eyelids jumped. Where is this drinking, it's just a waste of wine, you must know that these two bottles of wine do not have any labels, they don't look very inconspicuous, they are actually the private wine of a French winery, and one bottle is worth ten thousand. In order to pick up the gift, Yao Liang took a lot of effort, but in the end, this old man Su was basically a cow chewing peonies, and he showed all the appearance to the blind man, and he knew that it was better to buy a box of more than 06 yuan Wang Yu Hong for him to drink.

Just one sip of good wine is thousands of yuan, and the two of them ate dishes that did not add up to more than 00 yuan on this table, chatting while eating. President Su first talked a lot of nonsense, from when Yao Liang found Huhai Bank for the Alipay project, and then matched him to facilitate the success of the project, and slowly talked about how he overrode public opinion and recruited Yao Liang from other banks to Huhai Bank as the deputy director of the credit department.

Governor Su talked about the past, and Yao Liang praised Governor Su very knowingly on the side, saying a set of things like being kind to himself and being kind to himself.

"Xiaoyao, how many users of Alipay are there at present?"

After drinking a glass of wine, Governor Su picked up the remaining half of the bottle of wine from the ground like a beer bottle and poured himself another glass.

"According to last month's statistics, the number of registered users has exceeded 100 million. According to the current trend, it is estimated that it will break 300 million in less than two years. ”

"Yes, very good," President Su said with great satisfaction: "There is such a large user base in just one project, Xiaoyao, I am very satisfied with your work performance, you must know that when the credit union was restructured into Huhai Bank, the total number of savings users in the entire bank, including the following branches, did not even reach this half." But in just a few years, it has become such a large scale, which is really unimaginable."

"It's all your leadership, and if it weren't for your wise decision, this project would have had such momentum."

"Hahaha, this kind of thing goes without saying, if I take all the credit, it's too fake. Xiao Yao, it's a good thing to be modest, but it's too modest, not to mention that if this is heard by Dong Zhou, maybe he will secretly make fun of me, an old man. ”

Yao Liang smiled and hurriedly shook his head: "That's not necessarily, for you, Dong Chou has always admired you." Moreover, this project is the result of cooperation between the two sides, and if you want to say that you have the first credit as the head of the bank, of course. ”

Governor Su agreed with these words, although he was a little too swaggering, but his smug expression still showed his true mood.

After taking a sip of wine, President Su looked at Yao Liang with a smile on his face, and asked coldly: "The day after tomorrow is the board of directors, do you have any thoughts about Xiao Yao on the board of directors this time?" ”

"Ideas, how can I be, President, I am your assistant, I am not on the board of directors, and secondly, I am not a shareholder, what can I think of the one acre and three points of land given to me by the bank." Yao Liang was stunned for a moment, and then replied with a disguised smile. But having said that, he was a little uncalm in his heart, and secretly wondered what Governor Su's intention was in asking him this.

"You, you, duplicity" Governor Su nodded at him with chopsticks, shook his head and said, "Young man, it's normal to have some ideas." I had ideas when I was your age, and today's young people are more and more advanced than our generation. ”

"Look at what you said, how can I compare with you." Yao Liang saluted a cigarette and lit it for Governor Su with a grin.

"Dishonest" Governor Su took a puff of his cigarette, squinted at him and said: "I just want to hear your thoughts when I call you over today, otherwise you think I'm so idle and don't have time to invite you to dinner, don't look at the place where I live, to tell you the truth, few people in the entire industry have enjoyed this treatment." ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Yao Liang nodded again and again, and then paused before saying, "Since you asked me to talk, President, then I will talk about it." Actually, it's not practical to say that there is no idea at all, but to be honest, I do have some ideas on the board this time. However, I also know that it is not up to me to realize these ideas or not, after all, there was a gap before. ”

"It's not you, hehe, you mean it's me?" Governor Su took a puff of cigarette and said with a smile: "You kid is still turning a corner when he speaks, and he said bluntly that a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier." Didn't you keep tossing and turning in the line some time ago, and hinted to me several times, what's the matter, did you look at the position under my ass? ”

Yao Liang didn't expect President Su to say so directly, and he was stunned and a little embarrassed.

With a wave of his hand, Governor Su said again: "Actually, my age is here, and everyone in the industry knows that I can't sit in this position for long." As the backbone of the industry, especially the senior personnel, I hope to go further, and even you are not the only one who will succeed me. Vice President Qiao has the same calculation as you, but do you know why I called you over today instead of him? ”

"This ...... It's all the ...... your cultivation. ”

"Cultivation? Who would have thought that President Su suddenly burst into a foul language, and just as Yao Liang was dumbfounded, he sneered: "Xiao Yao, everyone in the industry knows that I brought you in, and at that time, you were promoted from the deputy director to the director, and the director and then the assistant to the president, I did it under pressure." But Xiao Yao, you yourself know that without the help of Dong Chou, you wouldn't be able to sit in this position. Tell me, is this cultivation my Lao Su, or your old friend Chou Dong? ”

This answer made Yao Liang ooze cold sweat on his back for a while, he didn't expect that Governor Su would have such a straightforward showdown with him. How did he answer this? If it is said that it is Zhou Liwen, this will definitely not work, if it is said that it is President Su, this is also a bit fake, Old Man Su is not a person who is easy to fool, and if he answers wrong, his hopes will be completely shattered.

Take out a cigarette and light it. Yao Liang took a few puffs, and then said: "President, I don't deny that Dong Chou has helped me, how can I say that he and I are also old friends, and the main partner of Alipay's project is Dong Chou, and he is also a director in the bank." But you know, I've always been on your side, do you remember the first two years? I almost fell out with Dong Chou for something, doesn't this prove my attitude towards you? If you insist on putting me on Dong Chou's side, then I can't help it. But you have to believe that I am in Cao Ying, and my heart is in Han...... No, no...... Well, I've always been your man anyway

After finishing speaking, Yao Liang watched President Su's reaction with anxiety, but the old man just squinted at him and remained silent. The more this is the case, the more empty Yao Liang's heart becomes, and when he was wondering whether to show his attitude again, President Su finally sighed: "Okay, I won't force you, people are doing it, the sky is watching, some things are not based on words, but on actual actions." ”

"Don't worry, I will definitely let you see the action" Yao Liang couldn't wait to dig out his heart on the spot and show it to President Su, who smiled noncommittally, picked up the chopsticks and nodded at the osmanthus fish: "Come on, come on, this fish is eaten while it is hot, if it is cold, it will not taste good......." ”

(Asking for votes, all kinds of requests)
