Chapter 694: So it was to interrogate him
After venting his frustrations to Sheng Lei, Fei Song felt much better than before. He kept reassuring himself with Sheng Lei's words of comfort: "Yes! If I don't get the award this year, I'll just wait until next year!"
The next day, Fei Song returned to the office wearing the outfit that Sheng Lei had bought for him the day before.
"Hey! Who's this?" Zhao Hong, who works in the same office, looked at Fei Song with curiosity. The completely transformed Fei Song seemed like a different person to her.
As usual, Fei Song smiled but didn't say anything, and went straight to his workstation.
At this moment, Shui Ziqin, who was sitting behind Fei Song, kicked her leg hard and slid down the computer chair to Fei Song's side. She was the only colleague in the office who was relatively nice to Fei Song.
"Fei Song, what did you do yesterday afternoon? Did you go on a date? This outfit looks pretty stylish on you! I told you, you need to pay attention to your image, and it seems you listened to me. Not bad!" Shui Ziqin patted Fei Song's shoulder casually.
Fei Song turned on his computer, smiled, but didn't say anything.
Even so, Shui Ziqin showed no intention of leaving.
"Oh, by the way, I have something to tell you. Cao Ping said yesterday that she's treating us to dinner this Friday night. You weren't here yesterday, so she asked me to pass on the message to you."
Fei Song knew perfectly well why Cao Ping was treating everyone to dinner. His application for professional title this year had been taken by Cao Ping. Cao Ping only had a bachelor's degree from a third-rate university, and according to the years of service requirements, she was not qualified to apply for a professional title at all. But what could she do? Her uncle was the deputy branch manager of the branch.
"You guys go ahead! I won't go." Fei Song refused without even thinking; even honest people have principles.
"Why not go? It's free food!" Shui Ziqin urged.
Fei Song remained silent, expressing his attitude through silence.
Seeing this, Shui Ziqin had no choice but to kick her leg again and return to her workstation.
At this moment, the department head came out of his small office, glanced around the office, and said to Fei Song, "Fei Song, could you run an errand to the legal department to make a copy of some materials? Hurry up."
Fei Song had no choice but to put down what he was doing and go upstairs to the legal department. He did most of the errands and odd jobs in that department, which was all his own fault. When he first arrived, he was naive and eager to do everything, so everyone naturally treated him as free labor.
The document the supervisor mentioned was over three hundred pages long, and by the time Fei Song finished copying it, it was already 11:30.
A few days later, Wei Chaoyang, the president of Huaxia Bank, accepted Ding Yi's invitation to have dinner. Some of the bank's investment and wealth management business was under Ding Yi's jurisdiction, so the presidents of major banks in Shanghai were naturally very familiar with Ding Yi. This is why Wei Chaoyang readily agreed to Ding Yi's invitation.
After finishing a few drinks, Ding Yi suddenly asked, "Wei Xing, regarding the financial transactions of Hong Kong Avenue Group in mainland China, it seems that your bank is the bank where Times Commercial Group has its account, right?"
Wei Chaoyang put down his wine glass and replied, "Yes!" Wei Chaoyang knew that Ding Yi's words were definitely not unfounded. "Director Ding, what is this?"
Seeing Wei Chaoyang's puzzled and slightly nervous expression, Ding Yi laughed: "To be honest, Huang Xiaochuan is my college classmate. We slept head to head for four years. He even helped me get my wife."
This information shocked Wei Chaoyang. He really didn't expect that Ding Yi and Huang Xiaochuan had this kind of relationship. However, he was even more puzzled. Why did Ding Yi suddenly reveal this relationship?
Click to begin your wonderful journey in "1990, I'm Back".
Moreover, he had never met the rumored richest man in Asia. Although he had visited him before, the man was either attending academic conferences or in Hong Kong, so he never had the chance to meet him.
Ding glanced at Wei Chaoyang's expression and continued, "This guy has been a professor at the University of Finance and Economics for a few years and has taken on a few students. I only found out recently that one of them is actually working at your branch."
Upon hearing this, Wei Chaoyang knew the main course was about to begin, so he quickly perked up and listened attentively.
"My old classmate was incredibly protective of his students. He cherished each and every one of them. But then he resigned for some reason, which meant that the last batch of students he taught didn't graduate under his guidance. But those were still his students, weren't they?"
Wei Chaoyang nodded and said, "That's right, that's right! A teacher for a day is a father for life!"
Ding smiled and said, "The one in your bank is the most honest of Huang Xiaochuan's students. To put it bluntly, he's too bookish and doesn't know much about interpersonal relationships. Not long ago, I heard that he, a master's graduate, had all the qualifications to apply for an intermediate professional title, but he was replaced by an employee in your bank who graduated from a third-rate university. I thought to myself, why not just have him come work for me? After all, I'm his senior, I can't just watch him suffer in silence, can I? What do you say, Manager Wei?"
Ding Yi paused deliberately: "So! Today I'm here to ask Wei Xing for the person. I've already prepared the transfer order, so please, Wei Xing, be lenient and release him!"
If Wei Chaoyang doesn't understand Ding Yi's barbed words, then he might as well quit. It's obvious that having dinner today is just a pretext; his real intention is to confront him and demand an explanation.
If Ding really takes everyone away, even a fool can imagine what will happen next.
Wei Chaoyang feigned surprise and said, "Director Ding, if you hadn't told me about this today, I wouldn't have known anything!" Then Wei Chaoyang poured out his grievances, "You know, there are countless things to do in the bank, and I can't possibly inquire about every single employee at the grassroots level. Director Ding, you must understand!"
Wei Chaoyang then assured Ding Yi, "Director Ding, please allow me to understand the specific situation. Besides, Chairman Huang's disciple must be a talented person. I'm overjoyed to have someone like that in our industry."
Wei Chaoyang thought for a moment and realized that this might not be enough. He slapped his thigh and said, "Okay, after I go back and find out the situation, I'll immediately ask him... what's his name?"
Ding Yi had been waiting for Wei Chaoyang to say this: "Fei Song is now a financial analyst at your Shanghai branch."
"Fei Song, right? I'll adjust Fei Song's position tomorrow. I'll make him my assistant for a while, and then I'll arrange a suitable position for him later. Director Ding, what do you think of this? Let's forget about the transfer. Consider it giving me, Old Wei, some face. I'll remember your kindness, and we'll maintain our friendship later." Wei Chaoyang's attitude was undeniably generous.
Wei Chaoyang's performance was exactly what Ding Yi had expected. He had achieved his goal, so he naturally knew when to stop.
"Is that so? Fine! For the sake of your Weixing branch, I'll temporarily keep this person in your branch. But let me make this clear: if my nephew gets into trouble again, then next time it won't be up to me. Huang Xiaochuan is very protective of his own; he'll be furious. If he takes all the business from your branch, don't come looking for me to mediate."
At this moment, Wei Chaoyang seized the opportunity and said, "Director Ding, don't worry, there's absolutely no such possibility. You're a good person, so go all the way and see when Chairman Huang is free. I'll invite him to dinner as a way of apologizing to him. You can accompany him then, Director Ding."
Ding Yi didn't refuse: "Sure! I'll ask around for you, but I can't guarantee it!"
"Director Ding, if you ask, Chairman Huang will definitely give you face, after all, the relationship between the two of you is there!" Wei Chaoyang flattered Ding Yi.
