Appointment

  Chen Xingyu's office is located on the third floor, adjacent to the president's office.

  The office is divided into two compartments, with regular desks, chairs and sofas outside, while the inner room has a simple folding bed. The office is very large and empty, with no extra decorations.

  Chen Xingyuan and Lin Qiang sat on the sofa, handing over a bottle of mineral water, and then meaningfully recalled: "The last excellent employee award was given to you by me, right?"

  Lin Qiang was surprised and delighted, he had only met Chen Xingyuan seven or eight times and exchanged a few words, this time he was suddenly summoned over, and still started with this kind of tone, he really didn't know what arrangements he had.

  "It's an honor to catch up with you." Lin Qiang could only respond politely.

  "Hmm, every employee who has won an award, I remember. Chen Xingyuan smiled and stretched out his right hand, tapping his own head, "If you don't have the drive when you're at the grassroots level, then even if you get the opportunity to move up, it's just going through the motions, socializing. The several awards for outstanding employees were all personally supervised by me, with strict performance requirements, not a single bit of water can be mixed in."

  "I see... " Lin Qiang scratched his head and smiled, "No wonder I've been getting it every year. Generally speaking, it's supposed to be rotated, right?"

  "Haha, taking turns? That's an old-fashioned thing. At this time, how can you survive in this industry if you still take turns slowly?" Chen Xingyuan paused for a moment, and then said with great interest, "You must want to know who guaranteed you to me, right?"

  Lin Qiang didn't hesitate and nodded directly: "Uh... I really want to know."

  "The first person to contact me was Zhong Sheng from the audit department. He spoke with me last night and repeatedly praised your business skills and meticulousness, vouching for you that you wouldn't make this kind of mistake. You two met during the previous inspection, didn't you?"

  "Zhong Sheng?" Lin Qiang himself was stunned, "I only exchanged a few words with him."

  "Hehe, between people, often just a few words can reveal one's character and future prospects." Chen Xingyuan said without hiding anything, "However, I don't know much about him either, nor do I have a grasp on what he says. Not long after that, Little Liang also called me and told me the same thing."

  "Director Liang... This is within expectations." Lin Qiang nodded slightly.

  "Yes, as your first supervisor after joining the company, his words still carry weight." Chen Xingyuan continued, "Later, this morning, your current supervisor also contacted me."

  "Mount Fuji?"

  Chen Xingyu nodded: "He repeatedly praised your achievements and said that if the truth is not clarified within the industry, and rumors are allowed to harm you, then the king of the East District branch may be forced out. He can't just sit back and wait for death."

  Lin Qiang stuck out his tongue and laughed: "What's a trump card... but this logic sounds like something Zhu Hang would say."

  "The last one, I don't understand..." Chen Xingyuan furrowed his brow in confusion. "Do you have a private relationship with Xia Xin? Why would she come to bail you out at this time?"

  Indeed, Xia Xing's identity is too sensitive. In the bank, her words and actions no longer represent only herself, but can also be understood as the stance of Ling Chen, the stance of the Audit Office. Xia Xing is like a small boat between the Chu River and the Han border, wandering in the turbulent flow.

  Lin Qiang also knew that this matter was sensitive. If the bank found out about his connection with the Audit Bureau, it wouldn't be a good thing. He could only pretend to be surprised and didn't dare reveal too much: "I do know Director Xia, her child's previous school was on the Longyuan side, I've helped her buy some financial products before."

  Chen Xingyu gazed at Lin Qiang, stunned for a few seconds, and didn't ask further. He muttered to himself: "Her words have profound implications."

  Lin Qiang thought, what exactly did Xia Xian say? Did she take a stand outside the Audit Office? Or was she just protecting herself regardless of the consequences? No, no, even if she was only relying on her temperament to protect herself, in Chen Hangyuan's understanding, it must also represent the stance of the Audit Office.

  Bang!

  "To sum it all up, combining everything, you are unbeatable, while the other side is full of loopholes."

  He said, and again suddenly rushed to Lin Qiang, slightly bowing his head: "I represent the bank, apologizing for the harm you've suffered in the past few days. Although I don't know if the student loan thing is true or false, as a bank leader, I still appreciate your loyalty and persistence, hoping that you won't be affected by things and continue to stay here."

  Lin Qiang was terrified, Chen Xingyuan had always been very fair, and it wasn't his turn to apologize. The bank manager bowed his head to himself, but this courtesy was not yet dared to be received.

  "The bank has never hurt me, it's just some individuals' personal behavior."

  "No." Chen Xingyuan's palms were clasped vertically, his expression serious. "When everyone is intertwined, it's no longer the power of an individual. The ones who hurt you are not just a few people, but the group they form together. Without a doubt, this group is the bank."

  Lin Qiang looked at Chen Xingyu's intertwined hands and handed over the internal connection in a few words.

  "I'm wondering why this thing happened." Chen Xingyuan leaned on the sofa, propping up his head with one fist. "Even I, who don't understand the situation at all, casually asked my secretary and took a look around, and I can tell what's right and wrong. Why can so many people in that conference room speak with one voice? Even that person from the audit department, who clearly doesn't know you, tried to shift the blame onto you - where did he get the courage to do that? Why is it like this? Is it really just a case of 'the emperor's new clothes'?"

  He didn't stop, nor did he wait for Lin Qiang to answer. He answered himself: "I think it's because of some people, their values, their behavioral logic, like a virus, spreading and multiplying in the bank, corrupting the majority in a short period of time."

  Lin Qiang couldn't help but ponder over his words.

  Chen Xingyuan's face showed a hint of sadness, and he patted his thigh: "In the era of Jikai Bank, I also gave an award to someone. We were like you and me, talking in this office... Unfortunately, he couldn't withstand..."

  "......" Lin Qiang asked in a low voice, "Qian Cai?"

  Chen Xingyuan nodded sadly: "Xiao Qian, it turns out that you were my subordinate. I just apologized to you not only on behalf of the bank, but also partly on his behalf. After the bank merger, entering the era of United Bank, the power of various prefecture-level banks was dispersed and shuffled. In this process, Xiao Qian also went astray."

  Lin Qiang sincerely said: "Although I have many contradictions with Qiancai, in fact, he is very powerful in business, and many things are also taught by him."

  "Haha, of course, many things I taught him." Chen Xingyuan waved his hand to calm down the emotions, "Don't mention this, I called you this time to temporarily assign a task to you."
