Li Ji hurriedly went downstairs and came to the business department of the city bank.

In the business hall, at least eleven or twelve people gathered, walking around.

Several lobby managers were standing there, explaining something to them. One by one, they bowed vigorously and nodded frequently, and their faces were sweating.

Inside the counter, there was a circle of people around the table. Several technicians from the science and technology department of the branch were busy in front of the computer.

"What's going on?"

Li Ji walked to the counter and asked a teller.

"The special line is faulty, and people from the Ministry of Science and Technology are contacting the provincial bank."

The teller hurriedly stood up and replied in a low voice.

Li Ji looked at it, and several people from the Ministry of Science and Technology looked anxious, tapping on the keyboard and making loud phone calls.

He stood next to him for a while, and couldn't help but ask again: "Isn't there a backup line?" ”

The teller moved around and said, "The telecom company moved the main engine room this month, and I heard that it hasn't been debugged yet." ”

Li Ji knew that the two network dedicated lines used by the branch's core business system were originally used by Unicom. Later, according to the requirements of the provincial bank, another special line was changed to a telecommunications company at the end of the year.

Unicom's dedicated line has been very stable. Prior to this, there had been no problems, so the backup line was never officially activated. Who knew that at the critical time, it actually "struck".

Li Ji didn't know technology and couldn't help, so after watching it for a while, he quietly walked away and went upstairs.

It was dark, and the sun was gone.

Sitting in the office, looking out the window at the gray patch, Li Ji was sullen.

A person who is in the credit business is arranged to pull deposits, which is really a bit unprofessional.

Speaking of which, Ye Xin still couldn't command those people, so he could only do it alone.

This line is long, and it should be enough to be a nest.

But as a pawn, where can he go?

No matter how well the task is completed at the end of the year, Ye Xin will leave next year. So what to do yourself?

Li Ji was stunned.

Go to the Rural Credit Cooperative?

The thought came to mind again.

This mountain looks high at that mountain. People, it seems, what you can't get is better.

Li Ji felt like the donkey of Buridan, running back and forth between the two piles of hay, hesitating, and probably starving to death in the end.

It's useless to be in a hurry, let's wait until this year.

He sighed and shook his head vigorously.

It's darker outside.

On the window pane, there was a sudden rapid "rustle" sound, as if something had hit it.

Immediately after, the white of the big flowers fell down.

It's snowing.

This is the first snow of the year.

Ruixue Trillion Year.

Li Ji stood up, walked to the window, looked at the snowflakes flying like catkins, and was inexplicably happy in his heart.

The snow fell for a while and then stopped.

At dusk, Li Ji walked out of the office building. The snow is only a thin layer, and in many places it does not cover the ground.

He stood outside the door of the business hall and looked in through the glass.

The hall was empty of customers. Several account managers were still standing upright, rubbing their hands together in boredom.

Inside the counter, there were more people. The sound of jumbled words came faintly from the crack in the door.

The fault should not be resolved.

Li Ji glanced at it again, stomped his feet vigorously, looked up at the sky, shrunk his neck, and turned to go upstairs.

Leave it alone, let it be.

After entering the elevator, he remembered that he was going to the cafeteria to eat. Hurriedly twisted back, divided his hands, and walked out again.

In the cafeteria, there were few people.

At the end of the month, and at the end of the year, most departments are busy with final accounts and reports. In addition, there is a breakdown of the special line today, and the people who eat are even more sporadic.

The most important meal of the year, the so-called "Chinese New Year's Eve dinner", is on October 31, after the annual accounts are completed.

All accounts are carried forward, and the annual report is generated and printed, and the final work results of the year are put in front of you. At this time, it is often ten or eleven o'clock in the evening, and it is often close to midnight.

After Li Ji finished eating, he ran to the door of the business hall to take a look, and found that those people were still busy there.

He went back to the office.

It was completely dark.

The windows were white, as if it was snowing again.

Sitting at the table, flipping through the newspaper, a little bored. After thinking about it, Li Ji picked up his mobile phone and pulled out Liao Ying's phone.

"Hey, you're still in the office?"

Liao Ying's voice was soft and a little tired.

"Hmm." Li Ji replied softly.

"When will I be able to go back?"

Li Ji exhaled secretly: "I don't know, I have to wait for the report to come out." ”

"Oh, then watch out for yourself."

Li Ji's heart warmed: "It's snowing outside." ”

"Well, it's stopped."

"If you go bigger, you'll be able to build a snowman."

Li Ji remembered that when it snowed heavily that winter, he and Liao Ying happily built a snowman under the holly tree in front of the library.

It's vivid, but it seems far away.

"Hmm."

Liao Ying's voice was fluttering, like snowflakes falling to the ground.

"Then, then you should rest early."

Li Jiman's words were full, but he only said this sentence.

"Hmm."

The phone hung up.

Li Ji leaned back in his chair, was stunned for a while, his eyes fell on the fortune tree, and slowly moved to the small safe.

"Wo Cao, why did you forget this?" He slammed his head.

The 100,000 yuan in the gift box has not been handed over to the supervision room. Li Ji jumped up and ran to the safe.

But he quickly stopped.

The inspection office is not a business department, and there must be no one in the office at this time. Besides, Director Sun is still in the hospital, so he can only wait.

Tomorrow, but next year.

Li Ji felt a slight strangeness in his heart. He stood up, turned up the air conditioner, and reclined on the couch.

Snowflakes flew intermittently in front of the window, like finely broken flowers in the wind.

Li Ji took a few sips of water, returned to the table, and called the business room.

No one answered the phone.

After a while, I played again, but the line was busy.

He put down the phone, went out, and went to the third floor.

The door to the president's office was closed.

Li Ji tiptoed to the door, pricked up his ears and listened, but there was no movement inside.

He stood and raised his hand to knock on the door. But the moment his finger was about to touch the door panel, he retracted it.

Li Ji turned around, took a few steps forward, stopped at the staircase, and still went downstairs.

Under the dark sky, the snow was blowing. The ground was already white.

Li Ji walked into the business hall.

The hall was empty.

Inside the counter, the crowd of people also dispersed. Only two or three people were still in front of the computer, whispering.

The teller sat aside.

"Is the line fixed?"

Li Ji leaned on the counter and asked.

The teller turned his face, froze for a moment, and stood up.

"It is a section of the cable from Unicom to the provincial capital that has been cut by construction and is being repaired......"

"When will it be fixed?"

"I don't know," the teller shook his head, "I heard that the digging is quite strong, and it is not easy to repair." ”

Li Ji nodded and didn't speak again.

He walked out of the business hall and walked in the snow outside the door.

In the distance, there was a faint sound of firecrackers.

Someone is celebrating the New Year.

Li Ji leaned down, picked up a pile of snow, and formed a snow ball. I pinched it in my hand. He threw it with his arms raised.

The snow fell on the low trees, startling a few sparrows, screaming and scattering in all directions.

Li Ji rubbed his cold palms, sighed lightly, and trotted upstairs.

When I returned to the office, I warmed up. Drinking a large cup of hot tea, he half lay on the couch and narrowed his eyes.

In a daze, Li Ji actually fell asleep.

"Jingle bells, jingle bells......"

I don't know how long it took, the piercing phone ringing woke Li Ji up.

He snapped his eyes open and jumped up from the couch. Step over to the desk and grab the phone.

"Director Li, what are you doing?" It was Liu Min's voice.

"Oh, oh," Li Ji was still a little stunned, "a little sleepy, squinted for a while......"

"Don't squint, hurry to the second floor of the cafeteria," Liu Min said, "President please eat 'Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner', just wait for you alone." ”

"Okay, okay, I'll go right away."

Li Ji said and put down the phone. Looking up at the clock on the wall, it was already past ten o'clock. I accidentally slept for so long.

It seems that the accounts have been settled and the year-end accounts have been completed. I don't know if the Marriott Group's money has been credited. Li Ji closed the door and thought about it.

When I got to the second floor, I opened the door of the large private room and saw a table full of people. In addition to the leaders of various departments of the city bank, there are several employees of the sales department.

"Xiao Li, I'm waiting for you, come and sit down!"

As soon as Li Ji stepped in, Ye Xin raised his hand to greet him.

He glanced at it for a moment, and sat down in an empty seat next to him.

"That money has arrived," Ye Xin nodded happily and looked at Li Ji, "This year's task has been successfully completed!" ”

Several people slapped lightly.

Tao Ping sat beside Ye Xin and smiled faintly.

"Everyone has worked hard for a year, have a good drink tonight!" Ye Xin stood up and raised a full glass of liquor, "Come, I respect everyone!" ”

After speaking, he raised his head slightly and drank it all.

"Thank you, Governor!"

"Thank you, President! ……”

In the midst of the confusion, everyone drank the wine.

Outside the window, it was dim.

The snow is still falling......

Walking out of the cafeteria, the crowd dispersed, and the snow stopped.

Everywhere is white, reflecting a faint skylight, there is a hazy quiet, hazy beauty.

The flat snow is like a baby's sleeping dream, and people can't bear to step on it.

Li Ji took a handful of snow and wiped his hot skin vigorously. The thick smell of alcohol spreads in the crisp air with the hot breath.

He was so childlike that he fell on his knees in the snow and buried his face in the thick snowdrift.

After a moment of suffocation, his face suddenly became wet.

Li Ji stood up, inexplicably happy.

Look at the watch, there are five minutes until midnight.

He took out his mobile phone and dialed Liao Ying's number.

After a few rings, the phone went through, but no one answered.

Li Ji was anxious and stomped his feet hard.

In the bright snowlight, I watched the hands of the watch move little by little.

"Hey ......"

Liao Ying's voice was lazy, revealing a thick sense of sleep.

"Yingying, it's New Year's Day, let's make a wish together!"

At this moment, the hands stopped at zero o'clock.

Jumped lightly again.

The snow shines in the sky.

Another year.
