Chapter 918 Tao Wuji Suffered a Double Blow
Lao Ma came out of Zhao Hui's office happily and returned to the public relations department.
"Hey, Lao Ma's face is so red, it looks like something good is about to happen."
Faced with the joke of his old colleague, Lao Ma smiled proudly. When he glanced at Qin Hao who was busy reviewing the project from the corner of his eye, he snorted unconsciously.
"I don't know if it will be a good thing or not, but some people will be in trouble."
Lao Guan saw this scene and was a little surprised, so he found Lao Ma.
Lao Ma sneered, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "I told you before that some people are like rabbits and can't grow their tails. How about that? Zhao Xing is now the president of Shenmao Bank, which is two levels higher than Su Jianren. Wait. Come on, he will look good soon."
When Lao Guan heard this, he also regretted that he was too conservative. He also understood that it was no longer feasible to hug Zhao Hui's lap now. It seemed that he would never be able to take the position of public manager in his life.
Soon, some discordant voices began to appear in the office of the public relations department, and they were basically aimed at Qin Hao. After all, his qualifications were still junior, but he was still doing the job of the public department manager. Those old employees felt a little bit in their hearts. Uncomfortable, seeing that Zhao Hui, who had no dealings with Su Jianren, succeeded in taking the position, his heart naturally started to stir.
"Tao Wuji, why are you going?"
"Oh, I have a small project here, and I'm wondering if I can get Lao Qin to approve it."
The colleague pulled him aside and whispered: "You also run errands for him, haven't you heard?"
"What did you hear?"
"Xing Zhao was elected president of Shenmao Bank. Now that your backer is much stronger than him, can you still listen to him?"
Tao Wuji's heart moved, but he said: "Don't talk nonsense, I don't have any backers, and the public department has performed very well under Lao Qin's supervision in the past few months."
"Look, you don't understand. In this workplace, how can you rely solely on performance? If the leader thinks you are good, then you can be good. If the leader thinks you are not good, you can be good or not. Zhao Xing and Su Xing used to The fight is so fierce, I will definitely give Su Xing some color this time, just wait and see, there will be a good show."
After listening to his colleagues' analysis, Tao Wuji felt hot in his heart, and even began to dream that he would replace Qin Hao and become the new "uncrowned king" of the public affairs department.
However, two days later, a punishment notice and a personnel appointment were issued within the Binjiang branch, which shocked the entire Shenmao branch.
The protagonist of the punishment notice is Lao Ma,
The notice listed the customer properties collected by these old horses, including: cash, luxury goods, expensive tobacco and alcohol, etc. However, the amount of property collected by Lao Ma was not very large and did not cause substantial damage to the bank. He was simply retired early.
For a small person like Lao Ma, many people in Shenmaoxing didn't know him, and no one cared about his fate.
On the contrary, the personnel appointment caused a lot of discussion within Shenmao Bank.
The content of the personnel appointment is also very simple. Since Su Jianren was promoted to the president of Binjiang Branch and was unable to take care of the complex affairs of the Binjiang Branch for the public department, Qin Hao was promoted to the deputy manager of the public department to manage the specific affairs of the public department on his behalf.
Regarding this appointment, Zhao Hui was highly affirmed and praised by the senior management of Shenmao Bank, believing that he understood the general situation and was able to put aside personal grudges and promote subordinates who were "rivals", thus making concessions for the stability of Shenmao Bank.
Of course, Lao Ma, the person involved, didn't see it that way. He couldn't even think about where he had failed. Zhao Hui and Su Jianren were obviously sworn enemies, so how could he still promote his people?
"It's so dangerous, just a little bit close." Lao Guan looked at Lao Ma's dismal ending with lingering fear. At the same time, he was secretly glad that he had not interfered in the first place, otherwise he and Lao Ma would have retired early. You know There is a huge difference in benefits between early retirement and formal retirement.
"From now on, let's keep our tail between our legs." Lao Guan sighed to himself as he looked at Qin Hao's office, which was surrounded by colleagues on three floors.
Tao Wuji looked at the "absurd" scene in front of him and was puzzled. He never understood why it was Qin Hao who finally benefited from Zhao Hui's rise to power.
"Is Zhao Xing afraid that moving Su Jianren now will cause shock within Shenmao Bank? Is this a compromise with the senior management?"
Tao Wuji looked at the colleagues crowded in front of Qin Hao's office, lining up to show their courtesy, with great disdain.
"Just wait. When Zhao Xing secures his position as president and has free hands, he will definitely take care of Su Jianren. That's when the time comes."
Tao Wuji told himself to be patient. Once he got through this difficult period, it would be time for him to show off his talents.
However, what Tao Wuji was waiting for was not an opportunity to flex his muscles, but to be sent to the grassroots level on Chongming Island to complete the agricultural loan project.
Colleagues looked at Tao Wuji with some expressions of sympathy and others taking pleasure in his misfortune. In their eyes, this was undoubtedly a manipulation of Tao Wuji.
Even Tao Wuji himself thought so.
However, only Qin Hao knew that this was Zhao Hui's test for Tao Wuji. If Tao Wuji could calm down and make achievements at the grassroots level, Zhao Hui would transfer Tao Wuji to the audit department.
This is undoubtedly a dangerous signal, because Qin Hao knows very well that with Tao Wuji's character, once he is allowed to enter the audit department and he finds out any clues, he will bite the people closest to him.
"Old Manager Qin, have I made any mistakes recently?"
Qin Hao pretended to be helpless and said: "This is not what I meant. It was ordered by the leader above. Just think of it as a test for yourself. Don't think too much."
Tao Wuji came out of Qin Hao's office with a gloomy face and sat there in silence until the end of the get off work day.
"Hey, Tao Wuji, are you off work? We haven't had dinner together for a long time. I'll pick you up later."
Hearing his girlfriend Tian Xiaohui's cheerful voice, Tao Wuji's gloom was somewhat dispelled, but Tian Xiaohui's next words almost made Tao Wuji go crazy.
"By the way, is Lao Qin free? Let's call him along."
Tao Wuji said irritably: "Why is it Lao Qin again? Why do we have to call him on our date? Do you think the light bulbs in the restaurant are not bright enough?"
"What are you so angry about? I provoke you." Tian Xiaohui said angrily.
"I'm sorry, I just want to have a quiet meal with you alone, without a third person, okay?"
"Hmph, okay, then wait for me for a while, I'll be there in twenty minutes."
At the door of Binjiang Branch, Tao Wuji was looking around, but he didn't see his girlfriend. Just as he was about to call to ask, a red Audi braked and stopped in front of him.
Tao Wuji was startled and was about to go forward to argue with the driver, but he saw the passenger window of the Audi rolled down.
"Xiaohui, you... this."
"Get in the car, you can't park here, you will be fined if you are photographed."
Tao Wuji got in the car confused, Tian Xiaohui stepped on the accelerator skillfully, and the Audi engine roared away.
"Xiaohui, where did you get this car?"
Tian Xiaohui said proudly: "The company gave it to me, it's not bad."
"Company, where did Henghui Technology get the money to give you a car? Last time, Dr. Xia said that the employees' salaries were almost gone." Tao Wuji looked at a loss.
"What you said is all old news. Since I became the financial director of Henghui Technology, the financial situation of Henghui Technology has improved significantly, and we have restarted negotiations with Huali, and it is expected that we will be able to sign the contract in a while." Tian Xiaohui said disdainfully.
Tao Wuji's face was full of disbelief, which also stimulated Tian Xiaohui: "What's that look in your eyes?"
"Xiaohui, don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't believe you, but how did you do it?" Tao Wuji hurriedly explained.
Tian Xiaohui snorted: "Humph, this is certainly not my own credit. In the final analysis, it is thanks to Lao Qin. He not only helped Henghui Technology to raise funds, but also applied for an additional loan of 20 million. It was also through him that I introduced venture capital institutions, and recently I got another 10 million US dollars in venture capital."
"By the way, Henghui Technology has now moved from the original underground garage to the office building, and I just bought this car this month."
Tao Wuji was stunned. Since Qin Hao invested in Henghui Technology, he took over the project. Tao Wuji thought it would be better to get rid of this hot potato as soon as possible. After that, he never paid attention to the situation of Henghui Technology. He never thought that Henghui Technology would undergo such a huge change in such a short period of time.
Tian Xiaohui was very satisfied with Tao Wuji's confused expression. This was exactly what she wanted.
"What do you think? I said that Henghui Technology has a better future than Junlong Real Estate, right?"
Tao Wuji nodded subconsciously, then frowned at the luxurious interior of the Audi: "This car costs a lot of money, right? You just got more money, you should spend the money on product research and development, and buying such a good car for yourself, isn't it suspected of abusing public power for personal gain?"
Tian Xiaohui braked and almost caused the car behind to rear-end, making the owner of the car behind curse. Tian Xiaohui was so angry that she had no place to vent. After parking the car, she lost interest in eating and stared at Tao Wuji angrily.
"Tao Wuji, please don't always exaggerate and preach to me."
"Let me tell you, as the financial director, every penny I spend is useful to the company. Moving the office from the underground garage to the office building is to improve the company's overall image. Buying a car is also the same. Moreover, this car is shared by the company's leaders. Anyone who needs to discuss business or meet clients can drive it. I just happened to meet a client today and I was nearby, so I came to pick you up for dinner after work!"
"Also, I beg you, don't always use your old thinking to imagine the world, okay? What era is it now? In the Internet era, no matter how much investment is made in the product and how well it is made, without good publicity, how can consumers know? Good wine needs to be hidden in the alley, don't you understand?"
Tao Wuji was speechless, and at the same time, he suddenly felt that his girlfriend, who had been with him for four years, was a little strange.
"Xiaohui, don't be angry, I was wrong, let's go to dinner, I haven't eaten alone with you for a long time." Tao Wuji coaxed.
Tian Xiaohui shook off Tao Wuji's hand and said unhappily: "I don't want to eat anymore. I'm so angry."
In the end, it was Tao Wuji who acted like a spoiled child and Tian Xiaohui forgave him.
The two came to the barbecue restaurant.
While the meat slices were still being roasted, Tao Wuji curiously asked about the specific situation of Henghui Technology.
Tian Xiaohui didn't think much about it: "When Lao Qin asked me to resign, I was a little nervous. Now it seems that Lao Qin didn't give up on me. Henghui Technology is really a company with great potential. After solving the financial difficulties, many problems have been solved."
"Dr. Xia also talked to me a few days ago. He said that he was grateful for the changes I brought to Henghui Technology. If the company can be listed on the US stock market in the future, he will definitely invite me to ring the bell at Nasdaq."
Looking at his girlfriend who was in high spirits, Tao Wuji fell into silence. Ringing the bell at Nasdaq was such a distant thing for ordinary people like him that he didn't even dare to think about it.
Tao Wuji could feel that the gap between him and Tian Xiaohui was getting wider and wider. Maybe one day, the gap would be so big that he couldn't cross it even with all his strength.
Seemingly sensing Tao Wuji's absent-mindedness, Tian Xiaohui patted his shoulder and teased: "Do you still remember what I told you when you were at the bank counter? When my sister becomes a rich woman one day, I will support you. Don’t worry, I won’t dislike you.”
Tao Wuji laughed in a dry voice, even a little embarrassed, but he could only force a smile to match Tian Xiaohui's joke, which was not funny to him at all.
After eating and drinking, Tian Xiaohui sent Tao Wuji downstairs to the rental house. Before getting off the car, Tao Wuji said to Tian Xiaohui.
"Xiaohui, I'm going on a business trip to Chongming Island next week. We may not be able to see each other for a while."
Tian Xiaohui said nonchalantly: "It's okay. I've been quite busy recently. If the contract with Huali is negotiated, and I come to discuss cooperation and investment with Henghui Technology, I'm afraid I'll cross the threshold."
Tao Wuji was heartbroken for a while. His girlfriend's career was booming, but he was sent to the grassroots level.
At the same time, Qin Hao, Zhao Hui and Su Jianren were in Wu Xianlong's tea room, drinking tea and talking about Junlong Real Estate loans.
Qin Hao had previously helped Wu Xianlong and his son find several trust companies. As for how they negotiated with the trust companies and how much the fees would be, that was up to Wu Xianlong and his son.
In the end, Wu Xianlong and his son reached an agreement with a company called Feiteng Trust. According to the previous model of Yuanzhou Trust, they packaged some high-tech enterprises with Junlong Real Estate and applied to the bank for agency sales while promising a certain percentage of income.
"I've read the plan. It's done well. The risks are basically within control. Tomorrow you will ask Feiteng Trust to hand over the plan to Xiao Qin and submit it to me. This will be my final approval."
After getting Zhao Hui's approval, Wu Xianlong and his son both looked ecstatic, finally getting money after so long delay.
However, Wu Xianlong and his son then looked at Su Jianren.
"Look at what I do, am I the kind of person who doesn't keep his words?"
"Haha, I know Su Xing is a sweetheart. We need to have a few drinks later."
At the wine table, Wu Xiaofei did not forget to win over Qin Hao.
"Old Qin, I heard that you are still renting a house. Our company has recently developed a good real estate, so why not give you a house?"
"It's free as long as you give it away, just give me the highest discount."
"Are you sure? The highest discount is about five million."
"I can still get this little money."
Wu Xiaofei looked at Qin Hao doubtfully. Five million was a lot of money for an office worker. Even a 30% down payment would cost about 1.5 million. According to Qin Hao's income, this amount of money was not It's a small sum. Could it be that this guy just looks cautious on the surface, but secretly he's a vegetarian and dares to accept any amount of money? (End of chapter)
