Li Ji returned to the office.

Sitting on the chair, he put the "advanced individual" certificate on the table, stared at the small safe, and felt a terrible headache.

The sunlight shines through the window, and there is no warmth in the shallow light. The shadow of the fortune tree was imprinted on the floor, sparsely.

Li Ji pondered for a while and grabbed the phone.

"President Ye," as soon as the phone rang, Li Ji stood up, "What do you think of the 100,000 yuan?" ”

"Oh, if you don't, I'll forget about it." Ye Xin said, "Didn't you hand it over to the supervision office?" ”

"I went up just now, and Director Sun is on a business trip again."

"Oh," Ye Xin paused, "Then put you there first, and wait for Director Sun to come back." ”

"Governor Ye," Li Ji hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Look, did I hand it over to you first?" ”

"Am I here?" Ye Xin was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "It's okay, it's better to leave it there for you." ”

"Governor Ye,......"

Li Ji snorted and didn't say any more.

"Xiao Li, don't worry, it's the same if you pay this money early and late, and nothing will happen."

"Okay, then." Li Ji reluctantly put down the phone.

He walked over, opened the safe, took out the gift box, looked at the money inside, and put it back.

stood up, stared out the window, took out his mobile phone, and dialed Director Sun's number.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm in too much of a hurry to tell you," as soon as the phone rang, Director Sun's loud voice came, "I'm on the way, you say, what's the matter?" ”

"Director Sun, that's right," Li Ji said, "I don't know where the customer sent a gift box, which contained 100,000 yuan in addition to mangoes......"

"Huh? 100,000 yuan! Director Sun was taken aback.

"Yes, it's 100,000 fast," Li Ji said, "I want to hand it over to the monitoring office." ”

"You don't know who sent it?"

"Well," Li Ji hesitated, "there is no sender's address......"

"That's right," Director Sun pondered, "where is the money now?" ”

"In the safe in my office."

"Oh,......" Director Sun was silent for a moment, "Then I'll put it with you first, and I'll talk about it when I come back from the provincial bank." ”

"And when are you coming back?"

"I can't say for sure, it depends on the situation over there......"

"Okay then."

Li Ji reluctantly ended the call.

The end of the year is approaching, and there is a lot less work than usual.

Liao Ying's school began its winter break.

On this day, Li Ji took leave and sent Liao Ying to the train station.

The first sunny day after the snow, the day is warm and windy. The square outside the station was full of people, big and small, bustling.

The plaster on Li Ji's leg has been removed, and he is still a little awkward when he walks.

At the entrance of the station, Li Ji handed the suitcase to Liao Ying: "Go back and say hello to my grandparents for me." ”

Liao Ying took the suitcase and looked at Li Ji: "How can you tell them if you let me go back?" ”

"Say what?" Li Ji was stunned.

"What else? Marriage. ”

Liao Ying glanced at Li Ji and said angrily.

"Oh, that's it, next year!" Li Ji patted his head and smiled flatteringly, "You tell your grandparents that it will be over next year!" ”

"Hmph, it's next year." Liao Ying snorted, sighed unconsciously, and dragged up the suitcase, "Then I'll go, you can go back." ”

"Okay, watch out on the road, call me when it's time."

Li Ji waved his hand and watched Liao Ying's figure slowly pass through the security checkpoint with the flow of people, and disappeared in a flash.

He stood there and looked at it again. I saw that the entrance was like an open embankment, and it was soon filled with scattered crowds.

Li Ji turned around, walked through the square, came to the side of the street, and was about to hail a taxi when his mobile phone rang.

He hurriedly took it out and saw that it was Han Mei.

"Han Mei, what's wrong?"

Li Ji stomped his foot and reached out to pinch his frozen red nose.

"I can't look for you if it's okay, stupid." Han Mei smiled, "I'm at the 'Starbucks' across the street from you, come down and invite me to coffee!" ”

"Huh? I'm not in the line right now, I'm at the train station. ”

"At the train station?" Han Mei was stunned, "What are you doing at the train station?" I'm going on a business trip. ”

"No, give it away." Li Ji said, "I just sent away, and I was about to go back." ”

"That's right, hurry up, I'm waiting for you here."

"Okay."

Li Ji said, reaching out to stop a taxi that was slowly approaching.

Ten minutes later, he got out of the car in front of the "Starbucks".

Walking up the steps and pushing open the door, I saw Han Mei sitting in the innermost corner, looking towards the door.

"This way, this way."

Han Mei saw Li Ji at a glance, raised her body, and beckoned softly.

Li Ji walked over briskly and sat down opposite Han Mei.

"What, you haven't called coffee yet?"

Li Ji looked at the empty desktop and raised his eyebrows.

"Pig, isn't this waiting for you to come and have a treat?"

Han Mei cocked her nose and smiled

As he spoke, the waiter had already walked over.

Han Mei asked for a "cappuccino", and Li Ji asked for a "latte".

In a short time, the waiter brought two cups of coffee.

"Han Mei, what are you looking for me?"

Li Ji took a sip of coffee and asked.

"I went to the tax office for a meeting, and it was nearby," Han Mei said, "and I didn't want to go back immediately after the meeting, so I came to you." ”

"Oh, you're a deserter." Li Ji smiled.

"But I do have something to tell you." Han Mei's face was straight.

"Oh, you name it." Li Ji was a little curious.

"The new general manager of the credit department we hired may be resigning......

"Huh? Want to quit? Li Ji was taken aback, "Why?" It's been a few months since I've been here. ”

"It's not been a few months," Han Mei said, "I heard from someone in the personnel department that he recently kept saying that he didn't want to do it." ”

"Don't want to do it anymore?" Li Ji was puzzled, "Is he willing to do it?" ”

"Why can't you bear it?" Han Mei raised her chin, "He said that the rural credit cooperatives are 'dirt buns', and their business is 'lawless', which is not like a bank at all." ”

"Haha!"

Li Ji laughed. He agrees with this statement.

"There are many things to do when foreign banks come," Han Mei glanced at Li Ji, "He always takes the same set of foreign banks, how can the business department stand it, and quarrel with the credit department all day long." ”

"Foreign banks?"

"yes, I'm still a senior credit manager."

Li Ji understood that this was a typical unadaptation.

Foreign enterprises are different from private enterprises, foreign banks are very different from Chinese banks, and foreign banks are even more different from Chinese small local banks.

Foreigners' thinking, straight, accustomed to rules. Foreign-funded banks do things and cling to the rules and regulations, and they don't know how to be flexible at all.

From a regulatory point of view, this approach is understandable.

However, when it comes to local corporate financial institutions such as rural credit cooperatives, it is almost impossible for foreign-funded banks to operate in rural areas, small households, and villagers.

In the final analysis, the Chinese still pay attention to human feelings in their bones. In many cases, systems and principles can be conditionally changed.

There is a historical tradition and cultural accumulation in this, and foreigners don't understand this.

"He should be Chinese, right?" Li Ji asked.

"Of course it is," Han Mei said, "but I heard that I studied at a university abroad." ”

"No wonder," Li Ji nodded, "People have drunk 'foreign ink'." ”

"Yes," Han Mei glared, "When I first came, I was still offering like a bodhisattva, thinking that I had invited a master; But it didn't take long for me to take it anymore. The gang in the business department shouted that if he was allowed to do it again, the rural credit cooperatives would not have to do loan business. ”

"Your leaders don't want to replace him, do they?"

"Who said it wasn't," Han Mei nodded, "It's just that he was replaced when he first came, and the leader felt that his face was not good-looking, so he slapped himself in the face, so he thought about it in a few months." ”

"You rural credit cooperatives don't have any other candidates?"

"The original boss is old, and the leaders below are not satisfied," Han Mei said, "The credit department is a key department, because the rural credit cooperatives have planned to restructure, so the leaders think that they must find the most suitable person for this position." ”

Li Ji nodded and didn't answer.

He drank his coffee slowly, bowing his head and saying nothing.

Sunlight shines through the two glass doors, spilling throughout. The shadows were mottled and swayed back and forth on the table.

"Senior brother, you really don't want to come?"

After a long while, Han Mei put down the cup and asked.
