When we arrived at Zhong's house, the food was already on the table.
Mr. Zhong greeted Pei Donglai warmly, "Donglai, I haven't seen you for a long time. I heard that you have a good drinking capacity. Please drink with me tonight."
Pei Donglai felt that the sun was coming out from the west. Mr. Zhong actually invited him to drink today? It's true that the secret is hidden in the smile.
"Lan Lan, go get my good wine," Mr. Zhong told his daughter.
After a while, Zhong Lan brought over two bottles of Feitian Maotai of certain vintages.
"Hurry up and fill it up."
As soon as Zhong Lan opened the bottle cap, the rich fragrance hit his face and filled the whole room.
It is indeed a good wine, but the drinker affects the mood. It would be great if it was with Li Yunfeng and Heizi, Pei Donglai sighed in his heart.
Zhong Lan also poured himself a glass.
"Come on, Donglai, let's have a taste." Mr. Zhong raised his glass in toast to Pei Donglai.
After taking a sip, Pei Donglai felt that the taste was average, not knowing whether it was because of his mood or something else.
"How is it?" Mr. Zhong looked at Pei Donglai and asked with a smile.
"There's no need to ask about Mr. Zhong's wine. Of course it's top quality."
After Zhong Lan swallowed it, his expression was a little painful, just like Pei Donglai's mood.
I didn't want to do it today, but I couldn't make the relationship too rigid, at least not on the surface.
After putting down the wine glass, Zhong Lan said slowly: "Donglai, how are you thinking about it?"
"Chairman, I have answered this question before. I feel really tired."
Mr. Zhong laughed loudly and said, "Drink, Lan Lan. Go get a plate of peanuts. This is good with wine."
"Okay, Dad, drink slowly."
"Mr. Zhong, where is your housekeeper?"
"Oh, he went back to his hometown for something."
"When Lao Li was here, he often came to my place, and the two of us just had a plate of peanuts to drink with. Alas... in a blink of an eye, the yin and yang were separated," Mr. Zhong sighed.
Pei Donglai knew that Mr. Zhong was starting to attack, so he didn't answer and kept drinking and eating.
After a while, Zhong Lan finished frying the peanuts. When she smelled the peanuts, she knew they were mushy. It seemed that she was very anxious.
After putting it down, Mr. Zhong saw it and frowned, "How did you fry it? Try it again."
"Mr. Zhong, just eat it like this. The heat is a little too high, but it has a different taste."
"Hahaha, that's fine," Mr. Zhong said with a smile.
After Zhong Lan sat down, he said, "Come from the east, I'll give you a toast."
After drinking, Zhong Lan asked: "Dong Lai, what are your plans next?"
Pei Donglai smiled slightly and said, "I want to travel."
"Will Yutong accompany you?"
"It's best if you can accompany me. If you don't accompany me, go alone."
After a few drinks, Zhong Lan became a little drunk, talked more and more, and finally started crying.
"Go to bed and don't interfere with our drinking," Mr. Zhong shouted.
"Dad, I really can't hold on any longer," Zhong Lan said aggrievedly and then stumbled upstairs.
"Oh, this child is so pitiful. She has been without her mother since she was a child. When she was 5 years old, her mother was gone."
"Zhong Lan is very strong," Pei Donglai flattered him.
"Donglai, so many things have happened. I know you feel a little aggrieved, but that's just how men are. How can they grow without experience? You are young and so good. It is the time when you are doing big things. How can you Are you lying down?"
"Mr. Zhong, to be honest with you, I felt aggrieved at first because I was suddenly dismissed from get out of class, but then I figured it out. Just like you said, how can you grow without experience? Now, I don't want to do anything. , take some rest.”
Pei Donglai knew what Mr. Zhong meant. In fact, he didn't care about his ability. He pulled him over for two reasons. One was to control the current turbulent situation and stabilize the employees' hearts; the other was to get news about Li Zixuan. .
The final step is to acquire Li Zixuan's shares to achieve the purpose of controlling the bank.
Pei Donglai really didn't want to go back to that unit. After he left, a group of people who didn't understand banking came to take charge. The personnel management was chaotic and he could use whoever he wanted. Not to mention the business expansion in violation of regulations.
Although the indicators look good on the surface, they are actually riddled with holes behind the scenes.
Liu Zhongtang also saw through it and applied for early retirement first. Yu Lingling also changed jobs to other banks.
During this period of time, more and more people have applied to resign, especially some business backbones, who felt that they could not realize their life value here and left one after another.
So Zhong Lan's tears just now were not entirely fake, at least half of them were from the bottom of her heart. She really couldn't control the situation.
Mr. Zhong is also poaching people here, but banks are different from other companies in that they can’t get started as soon as they arrive.
Besides, the business scope of each bank is different, and the customer groups are also different. Even if they can recruit elites from other banks, they may not be acclimatized. After much thought, Mr. Zhong still feels that Pei Donglai is the most suitable candidate.
"Dong Lai, I won't beat around the bush. Just make a condition. I know you won't give up just like that. After all, you still have some feelings for the company. I can see it."
It seems that the calm Mr. Zhong is also anxious.
After a moment of silence, Pei Donglai said: "Okay, Mr. Zhong, since you have said so, I won't let you go. The annual salary and position will remain the same as before. Also, I want personnel rights and at least a veto power."
Mr. Zhong laughed, "You are ambitious. Sure enough, Mr. Li was right about you. What a pity. If you could become his son-in-law, he wouldn't be so confused."
There is something in what Mr. Zhong said. He must be the one who knows the reason for the death of the old chairman best.
"Dong Lai, you have been in the bank for so many years. You know that this veto power belongs to the chairman, not the president. It's not that the board of directors doesn't want to give it. This is a rule and cannot be changed."
"Come, have a drink, Mr. Zhong." Pei Donglai avoided Mr. Zhong's question and raised his glass of wine to pay respect to Mr. Zhong.
After putting down the wine glass, Pei Donglai said: "Mr. Zhong, I know what you said, but you also know that I have no power in my hands, just like a puppet. I am embarrassed to get such a salary. It will not be safe to sleep."
Mr. Zhong laughed, "Donglai, what you said makes sense. Look at this, I will propose to the board of directors to increase your salary by another 30%25. As for personnel rights, you and Lan Lan will decide after discussion."
"Also, at the board meeting, I propose that you serve as vice chairman. What do you think?" Mr. Zhong added.
Pei Donglai knew that the position of vice chairman was in name only. It had no actual authority, except that he could get more salary.
Now that it's mentioned, no one will think it's too much money, so just do it, there's no loss anyway.
"Then I'll thank Mr. Zhong in advance."
"Donglai, you are right to think like this. Don't just follow online learning all day long. Why are you lying flat? Why is the world so big? I want to see it. Isn't this nonsense? Money is the last word." Mr. Zhong Take advantage of the drunkenness.
After leaving Zhong's hometown, the driver took Pei Donglai to the city, and then Pei Donglai took him to Heizi's club.
"Dong Lai, why are you here?" Xiao Yu said.
"Heizi isn't here?"
"He was getting a massage upstairs and said his shoulder was uncomfortable."
When I came upstairs, I saw Heizi lying down and enjoying himself.
"I'll have a massage too."
