After Zhong Lan was arrested, the chairman was vacant and the board of directors had to be convened urgently to elect a new chairman.
As a director, Cao Geqing came to Jiangcheng to attend the meeting, and Lin Xiaojie also came with him.
As soon as Cao Geqing arrived in Jiangcheng, he came to Pei Donglai's office. He walked in swaggeringly, proud and slightly arrogant, "President Pei, long time no see."
"Mr. Cao, you're fine. What brought you here?"
"Haha, I don't want to come either. The work in Shenzhen is very busy. It will take me a few days to come here. Time is money," Cao Geqing said proudly.
Since becoming a director last time, Cao Geqing has become more and more enthusiastic about Jiangdong Bank, and his purpose has become more and more obvious.
"Mr. Cao has worked hard for the development of Jiangdong Bank. Thank you for your hard work."
"Dong Lai, as the person in charge of management, who do you think among these board members is the most qualified to serve as chairman?"
In Pei Donglai's mind, these board members are not suitable to be chairman. They have never been exposed to bank business, so being chairman is nonsense.
Pei Donglai smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Cao, I am not a member of the board of directors. I really don't know this well."
Cao Geqing looked at Pei Donglai and smiled half-heartedly at first. After a while, he laughed out loud, with several meanings in his laughter.
"Donglai, you are too humble."
In the evening, Pei Donglai invited Cao Geqing to have dinner. In fact, Pei Donglai didn't like to associate with people like Cao Geqing. Even if Lin Xiaojie didn't tell herself those words, it could be seen from what happened last time that Cao Geqing was a person who went back on his word. Different.
But as a host, you still need to have etiquette, and superficial work must be done.
That night, Cao Geqing was very happy, drunk, and kept saying, "President Pei, please give me more advice in the future."
Pei Donglai didn't know what Cao Geqing meant. What could he give me? They are separated by a mountain, and I don't understand his business. Could it be that he wants to be the chairman of Jiangdong Bank?
The next day, when he was about to get off work, Lin Xiaojie called and asked Pei Dong to have dinner with him.
Pei Donglai did not agree and refused on the pretext of working overtime. Now he does not want to see Lin Xiaojie, Yu Gong, she and Cao Geqing are in the same group, and Privately, the two have divorced and have no relationship. No matter from every aspect, they are There is no need to meet.
After returning home from get off work, Zhang Yutong sent a video call, "What? You've been having so much fun lately that you don't even remember to call me?" Zhang Yutong complained coquettishly.
"I was going to call you, so you came here."
"Excuse, hypocritical", Zhang Yufei appeared on the screen.
"Mr. Zhang, I haven't seen you for a long time. I'm getting thinner and thinner," Pei Donglai said jokingly.
"Lao Pei, you are getting more and more mouthy. I have gained 10 pounds since I came to Chengdu, and you still say that I am thin. It seems that my sister did not bite you hard enough."
"Donglai, I plan to stay in Chengdu with Yutong and never come back," Li Zixuan said as she approached the screen.
"As long as you have fun, you can come back or not. I won't say anything anymore. I've cooked the instant noodles."
"You deserve it. People like you deserve to eat instant noodles." After Zhang Yufei finished speaking, several girls laughed.
After eating instant noodles, Lin Xiaojie sent a message: Donglai, have you got off work?
Pei Donglai ignored him, picked up a book and started reading.
A few minutes later, Lin Xiaojie called and asked: "Dong Lai, are you off work?"
"Well, I got off. I just came back and am ready to rest."
"Oh, then you can rest, excuse me, bye." Lin Xiaojie hung up the phone in disappointment.
The next day, Lin Xiaojie was the first to arrive at Pei Donglai's office.
"Why are you here?" Pei Donglai didn't give her a good look.
After hearing Pei Donglai's harsh tone, Lin Xiaojie said weakly: "Donglai, I want to tell you something. Is it convenient for you?"
"Sit down and talk." Pei Donglai pointed to the sofa and motioned for Lin Xiaojie to sit down.
Lin Xiaojie sat down carefully, lowered her head and said nothing.
"What's wrong? Is something wrong?" Pei Donglai asked impatiently.
Lin Xiaojie then slowly raised her head and looked at Pei Donglai, and said slowly: "Donglai, that's it. Mr. Cao has come to Jiangcheng. I heard that he will stay here for a long time in the future."
"What does his staying here have to do with me?" Pei Donglai's tone was stiff and impatient.
"I heard that he will become the chairman of Jiangdong Bank," Lin Xiaojie said softly.
Pei Donglai was silent for a while and said, "Is there anything else?"
"No, I'm leaving right away. Sorry to bother you." Lin Xiaojie stood up and left.
No wonder Cao Geqing acted so proud when he came to Jiangcheng this time. It turned out that he wanted to be the chairman of Jiangdong Bank.
During this time, Cao Geqing must have been active in the West. Among these directors, except Mr. Li, all others can be bought with money. As long as he is willing to give benefits, the chance of winning is very high.
Pei Donglai thought, as someone close to Cao Geqing, why did Lin Xiaojie betray Cao Geqing repeatedly? Could it be that there was some connection between them, or that Lin Xiaojie wanted to gain something by helping her.
After get off work, Julie called and asked Pei Dong to come for dinner.
It seemed that it was what Lin Xiaojie meant. It was okay anyway, so Pei Donglai agreed and took the opportunity to see what Lin Xiaojie's purpose was.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Pei Donglai guessed correctly, Lin Xiaojie and Julie were together.
"President Pei, please take a seat," Julie said enthusiastically, looking at Pei Donglai standing by the door.
"Donglai, you're here," Lin Xiaojie greeted with a smile, her eyes a little complicated.
After sitting down, Julie poured some red wine and asked specifically: "President Pei, is it okay to drink red wine? If you don't think it's exciting, I have white wine in the car."
"I'll get it." Lin Xiaojie stood up and left.
"No, just drink wine." But Lin Xiaojie didn't stop and walked outside first.
The two chatted for a while, and Lin Xiaojie came over with two bottles of Maojiu.
During the meal, Julie was the one talking, while Lin Xiaojie was silent on the side, seemingly worried.
After a few drinks, Julie finally spoke up, "President Pei, do I still need any information about my store cooperation business?"
After Julie was rejected by Yu Lingling last time, she refused to give up and wanted to take out the mortgage of the store. According to Jiangcheng's market situation, a store cost at least one million. Without bank support, it would be difficult to sell it. Yes, there are not many customers who can buy it with full payment. Even if some customers have so much money, they will not consider paying it in full. Because the interest rate of mortgage loans is not high, many people will still choose to buy with loans.
Julie also looked for other banks on the way, but Jiangdong Bank has already done the housing work, and other banks are not stupid and picky.
"Mr. Zhu, it's like this. According to our investigation, the store market has not been good in the past two years, so we have no plans to do this business. We are all in business. I hope you can understand."
"President Pei, I know that the retail market has not been very good in the past two years, but the Jinxiu Garden area is a new planning area, and there are quite a lot of people subscribing now. The prospects are still very optimistic. How about you come and investigate again?" Julie begged.
