Chapter 37: Just a pawn
"Xiao Li, you sit down first," Ye Xin reached out and pressed Li Ji's shoulder, asking him to sit back down, "Listen to me talk slowly......"
Li Ji's face turned pale, and his whole body trembled. His lips twitched slightly, and he let out a heavy wheezing sound.
Fuck, it's a bamboo basket for water!
"Xiao Li, drink a glass of water first......"
Ye Xin lifted the kettle, poured half a glass of water, and handed it to Li Ji.
Li Ji took it tremblingly, held it in his hand, and still looked at Ye Xin with good eyes.
"I originally nominated you," Ye Xin let out a long breath, his face became solemn, "But ,...... But President Tao firmly disagreed, saying that the matter of your loan guarantee has not yet been settled......"
Li Ji's lips were tightly closed, his chest rose and fell slightly, and he tried his best to control his breathing.
"And...... And it is said that the people below have a bigger opinion of you; Say that you abused the power of loan review, deliberately made things difficult for the staff, and suppressed the ...... of business development"
Li Ji's face became more and more ugly, but his mood slowly calmed down.
To be honest, these days, he has always had a bad premonition in his heart, feeling that this thing can't go so smoothly.
The director of the credit approval center is half a level higher than the head of the municipal bank. The key is that it is directly under the credit department of the provincial bank, which is only led by the president, which can be described as a high authority and a great future.
With such a big fat gap, who doesn't blush? Who doesn't want to fight?
In the face of interests, everyone is equal.
There is a bargain for everyone to take advantage of, and the best one to see has a share.
This seems to be the true thinking of many people.
He Li Ji is a small employee, rootless, young, and the deputy position of the department is already exceptional.
Now, if he can easily get this position with just one sentence from President Ye, I am afraid it must not be so cheap. Those who are not convinced, those who are jealous, and those who want to do something, there must be a lot of people.
Probably many people will have this mentality: what they can't get, they don't want others to get. It's best that everyone can't get it, then it's harmonious, hello and I'm good.
For Li Ji, not being fired from the unit and being able to continue to stay in CCB is already a big shit luck. I don't know how many generations of high incense burned, which ancestor blessed.
What's more, the position of the director of the credit approval center was an accident, and if it was gone, it would be gone.
If you don't get it, how can you lose it?
No man is content.
People should learn to be content, and those who are content are always happy.
If you don't want to get, you won't lose.
Li Ji thought about it, his tense face gradually relaxed, and there was a rare smile on his face.
"It's okay, President Ye," although Li Ji couldn't hide the disappointment in his heart, his tone quickly returned to normal, "It's the same for whoever goes, don't be embarrassed......
"Uh...... You, it's good if you think like this......" Ye Xin nodded, breathing a sigh of relief, "I originally wanted to try again, try my best." But judging by the meaning of several other bank leaders, it seems that they all agree with President Tao's opinion, so I can't say anything more......"
Ye Xin said, walked to the table and sat down.
He picked up a box of "General" brand cigarettes, took out one, lit it for himself, and took a few puffs.
A faint wisp of white smoke rose thinly.
"Xiao Li, you also know that I have only been here for a short time, and some things are not easy to say too directly." Ye Xin stared, his gaze deep, "If it is said that it does not emphasize democracy, acts arbitrarily, and engages in one-word affairs, it will not be very good." You say, isn't it? ...
At this point, he stopped and took several deep puffs of his cigarette in quick succession.
The gray cloud of smoke dispersed, and Ye Xin's face was a little dazed.
Li Ji was silent.
He understood President Ye's situation very well, but he still felt sad in his heart, and a feeling of disappointment instantly enveloped his whole body.
A little person is a little person.
As a small person, it seems difficult to escape the fate of pitching by people.
No matter how important it is, it is just an insignificant piece on someone's chessboard; People are soft-spoken, not enough to worry about.
A pawn can be sacrificed at any time, abandoned, and used as a bargaining chip in the game between big shots.
At best, it is just a small addition to the exchange of interests of others, and it is insignificant.
"I understand, President Ye," Li Ji said, "I am still too young, and there are many old comrades in the industry who are more suitable than me......"
"Alas, that's not true," Ye Xin shook his head vigorously, "The people who meet the conditions in the whole bank, no matter which one, you are the first choice......
Li Ji listened attentively, his expression gradually became solemn, but his heart was as calm as water.
"There is an important principle in the reform of the credit system of the provincial bank, that is, cadres should be knowledgeable, professional, and young." Ye Xin stopped, and put out the cigarette that he had only smoked less than half in the ashtray, "Strictly screened, there are not many people in our industry who meet the basic conditions, and even fewer in the credit opening......"
While speaking, Ye Xin's finger tapped heavily on the edge of the table: "Compare, compare, you are almost the only suitable person." Hey, who would have thought ......"
After saying this, Ye Xin turned his head and looked out the window.
A cloud obscured the sun, and the wide glass window darkened.
"Mr. Wang is also an old creditman, he is very familiar with the business, and his ability is also very strong......," Li Ji pondered the words and said carefully.
"Hmm,......" Ye Xin sighed secretly, with a slight look of displeasure on his face, "However, he is still a lot worse than you....."
Li Ji's lips moved a few times, but he didn't say a word.
"Alright,...... Let's do it for the time being," Ye Xin retracted her gaze and looked at Li Ji, pondering, "What else do you have in mind?" ”
"Me?" Li Ji was stunned for a moment, rubbing his hands, "I, I'm still in the credit department......"
Ye Xin stared at Li Ji's face, bowed his head and pondered.
After a while, he raised his head and said slowly, "How about you go to the branch?" ”
"To the branch?" Li Ji was a little surprised.
"Well, let's go down and become a branch president first, and exercise and exercise." Ye Xin nodded, "When the opportunity is right, I will transfer you back to the market." What do you think? ”
"This ......" Li Ji hesitated.
"Well, there's no rush on this matter, and you don't have to answer me now." Ye Xin waved his hand, and the whole person suddenly relaxed, "You go back first, think about it, and it's not too late to talk about it in a few days." ”
"Good, good!" Li Ji nodded hurriedly.
"Don't worry, it's a talent, I won't let him bury it!"
Ye Xin walked over and patted Li Ji on the shoulder affectionately.
Li Ji couldn't say anything in his heart, he just felt weird. He stood up, nodded at Ye Xin, and did not answer.
"Governor Ye, I'm leaving......"
Li Ji turned around and opened the door and walked out quickly.
Behind him, Ye Xin's gaze was solemn and complicated.
Li Ji returned to the office and sat at the desk in silence for a long time.
He sorted out the papers and materials on the table and piled them aside. Covering his face with his hands, he leaned quietly on the table. All of a sudden, I panicked and just wanted to cry.
"Mr. Li, President Tao, please come to his office!"
This sudden voice startled Li Ji, and he hurriedly spread his hand, raised his head, and followed the sound.
It turned out to be Xiao Miao standing at the door.
"Oh, Governor Tao?" Li Ji's heart skipped a beat.
"Hmm." Xiao Miao nodded and looked at Li Ji a little strangely.
"Okay, okay," Li Ji stood up, "I'll go, I'll go ......"
Xiao Miao went back.
Li Ji stared at the corner of the wall, and then stared blankly for a while, before he suddenly came back to his senses.
He rubbed his hands together on his face twice, opened his mouth and gasped for a few more breaths before stepping out of the room.
Walking to the seventh floor, standing at the top of the stairs and stopping for a few minutes, Li Jicai walked over unhurriedly and knocked on Tao Ping's door.
"Come in!"
Tao Ping's familiar loud voice came from inside.
At this moment, Li Ji listened to it in his ears, but he did not have the slightest sense of intimacy.
Li Ji pushed open the door and saw Tao Ping already standing there.
"President Tao, are you looking for me?"
Li Ji bent over, his tone flat.
"Xiao Li, sit down!"
Tao Ping's face still showed a warm smile. This smile is both familiar and a little unfamiliar to Li Ji.
"Oh, thank you, Governor Tao......"
Li Ji sat down on the sofa and looked at Tao Ping calmly.
"I don't know what I've been busy with all day these days, and I haven't bothered to ask you about it......"
Tao Ping said, smirking self-deprecatingly, dragging the chair behind him over and sitting opposite Li Ji.
Li Ji nodded lightly, his face still the same.
"It's all this Cui Hao, if he says that the loan can't be recovered, he will take the initiative to resign." Tao Ping smiled kindly, like a kind elder, "It's not a fool, it's a serious irresponsibility to the employees!" It's a dereliction of duty! ......”
Tao Ping said with a glance, his voice suddenly raised, as if he was heartbroken; It seems that he only found out about this today, and he has never heard of it before.
Li Ji couldn't help but secretly admire Tao Ping, and couldn't help but want to give a thumbs up: High! That's high!
Dare to talk nonsense in front of your face, and don't blush when you say nonsense, which is also a kind of ability.
It's not thick-skinned, it's the art of leadership.
"President Tao, it's okay," Li Ji smiled, "Mr. Cui has already informed me to go back to work in the credit department......
"That's good, that's good," Tao Ping nodded with satisfaction, "This Cui Hao, it's too unusual!" I'm going to criticize him hard when I have the opportunity in the future......"
Li Ji smiled faintly.
He knew in his heart that the "opportunity in the future" in the leader's mouth was actually "there will be no chance in the future". Meaning, stop this matter, turn the page completely, and don't even think about mentioning it.
But Li Ji really couldn't figure out Tao Ping's intention to call him here today, so he had to listen stupidly.
"The provincial bank wants to set up a credit approval center in the city branch, you know this, right?" Tao Ping asked suddenly.
Li Ji thought about it, but still didn't lie: "I heard about ......"
"What do you think?" After Tao Ping finished speaking, he looked at Li Ji with interest.
"Me? ......" Li Ji was a little confused, and he didn't come back for a while.
"Your conditions are quite suitable, haven't you thought about fighting for it?"
Li Ji scolded secretly in his heart: Grandma's, the documents are not delivered, let Lao Tzu fight for a hammer!
"I didn't think about it," Li Ji hesitated for a moment, but still replied honestly, "President Tao, this should be something that your leaders are considering, right?" ”
"Hmm." Tao Ping nodded, turned around and took a sip of the teacup.
"You know Han Mei, right?" Tao Ping turned around and asked coldly.
"Han Mei?" Li Ji's heart moved.
"That's right," Tao Ping looked at Li Ji for a moment, "the daughter of Director Han of the Municipal Banking Regulatory Bureau, who works in the Rural Credit Cooperative......"
"You said her!" Li Ji suddenly realized, "Know! Of course I know! ”
"You know each other well?" Tao Ping asked rhetorically.
"Well, it's okay." Li Ji's tone was very flat, "She is my junior sister in the same department of college, and she is a very good person......"
"You see each other often?"
"We don't often meet," Mr. Li said, "and occasionally we have a meal together......
"You seem to have a girlfriend, don't you?"
Tao Ping's tone suddenly became serious.
Li Ji looked suspicious, and thought to himself: You don't know about this, aren't you asking knowingly?
He was stunned, and then replied casually: "Yes, the whole bank knows." My college classmate, a teacher at the finance school......"
"Since you have a girlfriend, isn't it appropriate to pester other girls?"
Tao Ping was still smiling, but his tone was clearly a little cold.
"I'm pestering other girls?!"
Li Jimeng was speechless for a while.
"Young man, don't eat in the bowl and look at the pot," Tao Ping's face sank, "You are a person with a girlfriend, don't look at people's father is the director of the Banking Regulatory Commission, just think nonsense......"
Director of the CBRC? Jump the track?
What a place to be!
Li Ji was anxious, and couldn't help but say loudly: "President Tao, when did I think nonsense?!" ”
"Hmph, you should know this better than me......" Tao Ping snorted coldly.
Li Ji's hands trembled with anger.
"Tao, President Tao, I, we're just ordinary friends, no, nothing else......"
Li Ji only felt that it was difficult to argue, and he couldn't help but be angry and annoyed, and his natural stubborn personality was revealed at this moment.
"President Tao, let's have a meal together and chat, there is no law that does not allow it, right?"
Li Ji came to his senses, and his anger surged up in an instant, and he was so anxious that he forgot that the person in front of him was President Tao.
"I didn't say it, I just gave you a heads-up." The anger on Tao Ping's face flashed, and he snorted slightly in his nose, "Young man, it's not worth it to make mistakes in this kind of thing......"
Li Ji rushed out of his mouth with a few words, and he was also scared into a cold sweat.
This is President Tao!
Got a nerve?
Arched by a wild boar?
Or eat the bear's heart and leopard gall, how dare you speak to President Tao like this?!
Li Ji couldn't help but regret it. can think about Tao Fangcai's words, the anger in his heart is still difficult to eliminate for a while.
He had no choice but to lower his head and stop talking, but his brows unconsciously twisted into a black line.
Who knows, Tao Ping suddenly changed the topic again: "This time the bank recommended the person in charge of the credit approval center, and I also considered your ......"
Li Ji raised his head and looked at Tao Ping in surprise.
"I heard that Governor Ye values you very much...... Tao Ping continued.
Li Ji was full of confusion at this time.
This Tao Xing spoke today, with a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west, which made people completely confused about the number of roads.
Grandma, what the hell do you want to say?
If you want to say it, just say it! Don't act like a widow who is in love, always talking about things with a chastity archway!
"Of course this is a good thing," Tao Ping's voice was long and slow, "but don't forget, Governor Ye is provincial, but he just came to us to gild it." If you can't stay for a year or two, you still have to leave, you follow him......"
Speaking of this, Tao Ping suddenly stopped, and looked at Li Ji with deep meaning.
Li Ji's face was expressionless, but his back was numb for a while, and he felt a chill rushing from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
"You're a smart man, you don't need me to say more......"
Tao Ping smiled easily, and in the blink of an eye, it seemed like a different person.
"Governor Tao, Governor Ye just asked me to help him sort out some information......" Li Ji defended.
"Well," Tao Ping nodded casually, as if he hadn't heard what Li Ji said, "It's your own business to do it......
Li Ji was speechless.
"Credit Approval Center, Mr. Cui recommended Wang Wensheng to me, I think you may be more suitable....."
Tao Ping's words made Li Ji doubt his ears. It's going around and around, why did it come around here again?
"Xiao Li, you listen to my advice, stay away from that girl, it's best not to meet again," Tao Ping's eyes were a little distant, a little heavy, "President Ye, it's better for you to have points in your heart, don't be used as a gun....."
Tao Ping's last sentence seemed to be spoken word by word.
Li Ji's heart couldn't help but sink suddenly.
"If you listen to me, you won't have to lose," Tao Ping's eyes became eager, "The person in charge of the credit approval center, I can consider recommending you." President Ye, I'm going to do the work......"
After talking for a long time, Li Ji finally understood.
Chop down the branches and leaves, squeeze out a large vat of water, kick off a few baskets of nonsense, it is four words: coercion, temptation!
To put it simply, if you leave that girl, stay away from President Ye, and follow me closely, I recommend you as the person in charge of the credit approval center.
exchange, the exchange of interests of the bright and bright.
Li Ji was silent.
To be honest, the position of the head of the credit approval center is something he desperately desires and dreams of.
Having lived so big, except for Liao Ying, this is the second time that he has a heartbeat.
If this is a temptation, then this temptation is too great. So big that he was so excited, thinking about it day and night, sitting still, and almost willing to exchange everything for himself.
Tao Ping stretched his legs and looked at Li Ji leisurely.
He's very confident, 100 percent sure.
This condition he offered, not to mention a young man, is a veteran in the workplace, and it is difficult to refuse.
Because, only a fool would do that; And he believes that Li Ji is definitely not a fool.
To be honest, if it weren't for his nephew, in order to set up Ye Xin, he would really be a little reluctant to pay this price.
After all, the current position is like Tang monk meat, it is so hot that I don't know how many pairs of eyes in the line are staring at it!
If it weren't for the harsh conditions required by the provincial bank, it is estimated that except for a few bank leaders, everyone in the industry would want to sign up.
In the past few days, just calling him and even giving gifts to him has kept him busy; It seems to be even more lively than when he was first promoted to vice president of the city bank, and it is even more than that.
So, Tao Ping is not in a hurry. He believed that no one could refuse the conditions he offered.
Tao Ping looked at Li Ji's somewhat cramped expression, and his heart was even more proud.
Like an old and spicy hunter, watching the prey that is about to enter the trap; A clever angler, waiting for the fish to bite the hook right away.
Time passed by second by second.
The room was surprisingly quiet, and even the sound of the quartz clock hands moving on the wall seemed so grand that people couldn't help but follow a heartbeat.
Li Ji finally stood up.
Tao Ping's gaze was soft, and there was even a hint of mockery in his eyes.
Just like a willful spring girl, waiting for the timid young man to say loving words, reserved and confident.
Li Ji spoke: "President Tao, I'm sorry ......"
Tao Ping was stunned, and instantly petrified.
He stared at the young man in front of him in astonishment, as if he were looking at a monster.
