Chapter 49: "Keeping Up with the Times" (3)
When I looked up, it was Fang Yuan, the director of the office.
Li Ji hurriedly stood up and asked with a smile, "Director Fang, what's wrong?" ”
Fang Yuan smiled and closed the door casually: "Governor Li, you came early!" ”
"Early?"
Li Ji was stunned, not knowing if Fang Yuan's words were a joke or something else. So he smiled too, but didn't reply.
"Governor Wang and Governor Chen, they haven't come to the line yet."
Only then did Li Ji understand; Raise your wrist and look at your watch, it's almost half past eleven.
Looking at the dial that cracked into snowflakes, Li Ji couldn't help but feel annoyed. One day, I have to buy the same watch to replace it, so that Liao Ying doesn't find out.
Fang Yuan walked to the table and smiled mysteriously: "Governor Li, was it okay last night?" ”
"Last night?" Li Ji was stunned, and then smiled, "It's good, it's good!" ”
"Hehe, I've seen the world too......" Fang Yuan said as he took out a golden card from his pocket and handed it to Li Ji, "President Li, you take care of ......"
"What is this?"
Li Ji took it and looked at it in his hand.
This card, which is slightly larger than the bank's common credit cards, looks like it is plated with a layer of gold and shiny. In the upper left corner, there are two small black characters "Haitian" in the big gold word "VIP Supreme Gold Card", and in the lower right corner, there are two small black words "Haitian".
"President Li, this is the VIP gold card of the Haitian Hotel Club," Fang Yuan looked proud and excited, "You must have put it away, it costs 20,000 yuan for one piece; If it doesn't matter, people outside won't be able to get ...... at all."
Li Ji instinctively handed the card back: "Director Fang, I think it's better to forget it, I don't want it......"
"What, Governor Li?" Fang Yuan looked surprised.
"I, I'm ......," Li Ji thought about it, "I don't need it, I'd better give it to someone else....."
"Governor Li, do you think this is given casually?" Fang Yuan's expression was serious, "People only gave a few ,...... for President Tao's face Don't take it seriously, it's something you can't buy if you want to....."
"President Tao?"
Li Ji was stunned and looked at Fang Yuan suspiciously.
"It's okay, it's okay! You put it away first...... Fang Yuan was stunned, as if he felt that he had said something wrong, and hurriedly covered up his smile, "As long as it is a man, he will be able to use it sooner or later." You say, don't you? Hahaha....."
Li Ji remembered what the foreman said "Mr. Tao".
This "Mr. Tao" must be the real power figure of Haitian Hotel. There must be something to do with him and President Tao; At least, both have the surname "Tao".
And that "Tao Shanming"......
Li Ji was distracted for a while.
"Governor Li, Governor Li......" Fang Yuan saw that Li Ji was suddenly in a daze, a little strange.
"Oh, oh......" Li Ji came to his senses.
"Governor Li, you're busy, I'm going down....."
After Fang Yuan finished speaking, he turned around and opened the door and walked out.
Li Ji stared at the card in his hand for a long time before he walked to the bookcase, opened the cabinet door, and sandwiched the card into the training textbook of "Basic Knowledge of Credit Business".
In the afternoon, Wang Shulan and Chen Donglin came.
Xie Zhiyuan, the person in charge of the credit department of the sub-branch, came up to inform Li Ji that a credit review meeting would be held at two o'clock.
Li Ji looked at his watch, and there was still almost an hour, so he picked up the materials on the table and looked at them roughly.
After more than 20 minutes, I saw Chen Donglin appear at the door with a notebook. Without waiting for Li Ji to speak, he turned around and closed the door and sat on the sofa.
Li Ji hurriedly got up: "President Chen......"
"It's okay, it's okay," Chen Donglin shook his hand, took out a box of cigarettes, took out one, and lit it himself, "It's not a meeting, I'll come to you to sit down first......
"Oh, oh......"
Li Ji nodded, walked out, and sat down on the sofa next to him.
"Governor Li, how's it going? Had it last night......"
Chen Donglin smiled a little obscenely.
His eyelids were swollen, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was visibly sleep-deprived.
"Hahaha......"
Li Ji didn't know how to answer, so he had to say haha.
However, he obviously felt that Chen Donglin's attitude today was much closer. It's not like before, although it's very polite, but it's also full of distance.
Li Ji remembered that popular joke.
What is Buddy?
They have carried guns together, gone to the countryside together, crossed windows together, prostituted together, and shared stolen goods together.
Li Ji has never been a soldier, let alone the countryside, and he is not a classmate with Chen Donglin, let alone a child, so he can only "prostitute together" last night.
Could it be that if it goes down any further, it will be "sharing the spoils together"?!
Li Ji felt funny and a little frightened. It seems that he sees a deep pit in front of him, and is waiting for him to jump into it.
"Brother," Chen Donglin gently puffed out the smoke ring and leaned towards Li Ji, "How old is my brother, don't you like to listen to it......
"President Chen, you have seen what you said......" Li Ji felt a little uncomfortable.
"You are still young, educated, and have a bright future; It's not like your brother and me, who are gangsters and just wait for retirement," Chen Donglin didn't care, and continued, "But sometimes don't take it too seriously; Just like President Tao, he has always valued you......"
Li Ji listened, and he couldn't say anything, so he could only nod silently.
"Of course, people have to have their own skills," Chen Donglin threw the cigarette butt into the ashtray, "but you can't just have the ability, there must be someone on it; Helping you say a word at a critical time will save you a lot of detours......"
"Your brother and I, I just suffered a loss of being too stubborn back then," Chen Donglin suddenly sighed, "I'm older, I understand, but it's too late......"
Chen Donglin said very emotionally, and Li Ji had no choice but to nod desperately.
"Alas......" Chen Donglin shook his head, took out another cigarette, lit it, took a few puffs, and suddenly stopped talking.
Li Ji opened his mouth, but he couldn't find the right words to say for a while, so he had to lower his head and look at the tips of his shoes.
Bang Bang, Bang Bang Bang......
There was a knock on the door outside.
