The next day, Li Cheng had just walked into the backyard of the branch when he was suddenly slapped. He turned around and saw that it was Tan Wenji.

"Li Cheng, what did you say to my grandmother yesterday? When I got home that night, she scolded me. Not only did she scold me, but she also said I was blind. I had such a good guy around me, so why didn't I find someone like him? Tell me, what did you say to her? Am I blind? Is it me who is blind or you? ---"

Tan Wenji was talking, and Li Cheng was listening. When Tan Wenji finished, Li Cheng said, "I didn't say anything to the old lady. I just helped her move bricks, and I even had them sent to your house."

Before Li Cheng could finish, Tan Wenji got angry again and yelled at Li Cheng, "Why did you send so many bricks to my house? My grandma used to go there just for fun, but now that you've sent so many, she keeps talking about building a house. How am I supposed to build one for her?"

After being scolded by him, Li Cheng thought about it and took out his cell phone to make a call.

After the call, Tan Wenji was stunned and said, "You really asked someone to build a house for him."

Li Cheng said seriously, "Really? Whatever the old lady likes, we must do for her."

Tan Wenji was a little mad, and after a moment of confusion, she said, "It's over. I can't go home anymore."

After saying that, Tan Wenjie ran away.

Li Cheng looked at her back and smiled, thinking that now you can't explain it clearly anymore. The old lady will not only say that you are blind, but also that your heart is covered with lard.

Li Cheng, who was working as a worker, heard the old lady say that she was blinded by lard. When he was carrying bricks for her, the old lady said this.

At that time, Li Cheng told the old lady that the barbecue city could provide jobs for laid-off workers so that they could have food to eat.

The old lady said, "They are preventing people from having food to eat. They are really blinded by greed."

Tomorrow is the opening day of the barbecue city. Li Cheng will personally go and invite the old lady to have a barbecue meal.

"Li Cheng, President Hou is calling you."

Li Cheng looked up and saw Gao Qinqin calling him from the window of the office on the third floor.

Li Cheng knew that nothing good was going to happen. He had confronted Vice President Fu during the meeting yesterday, and he guessed that she had gone to complain.

Li Cheng shouted to Gao Qinqin, "I'm going to the bathroom soon."

Gao Qinqin said: "Lazy people will poop and pee more often."

After saying that, she closed the window.

Li Cheng deliberately dawdled for a while before going to President Hou's office. After knocking on the door and entering, Li Cheng saw Director Yang from the Credit Department also there, and he felt that this was not a complaint from Vice President Fu.

"Li Cheng, please sit down first." President Hou's expression was okay.

Li Cheng sat down, and President Hou said, "Director Yang just said that when disposing of the printing and dyeing factory's assets, President Gao listened to your advice, which allowed the loan of over 10 million yuan to be revived, and the interest is now being collected normally, is that correct?"

Li Cheng nodded and said, "President Hou, you know about this. I remember you asked me about it once."

"Oh, really? Look at my memory. I don't even remember it at all."

As he spoke, President Hou smiled.

Li Cheng said, "The president is very busy, so it's normal for him to forget things."

Director Yang also said, "That's right, I've been forgetting things a lot lately. Especially with the tape recorder factory, it's made me forget other things. This morning, I had breakfast, but when I walked to the breakfast shop, I actually bought another one and brought it with me."

As soon as he finished speaking, all three of them burst into laughter.

Li Cheng said, "Director Yang, this is what you call forgetting to eat and sleep, right?"

After saying that, the three of them laughed again.

After laughing, President Hou coughed, and both Li Cheng and Director Yang knew that she was going to get down to business.

"There's a situation right now. After the tape recorder factory went bankrupt, the branch proposed writing off their loan. As you know, this is the usual practice and the least-worrying approach. But this time, the city branch rejected this plan, and their attitude was very firm."

Li Cheng glanced at Director Yang, who nodded and said, "The tape recorder factory borrowed 9 million yuan. This is the principal, and the interest is 1.73 million yuan. The tape recorder factory liquidated a total of 4.5 million yuan. Obviously, our branch has been the victim again."

One million seven hundred and thirty thousand.

Li Cheng silently recited this number in his mind.

President Hou said, "We can't be the ones being taken advantage of this time. For some reason, the city branch is determined not to let us write off the money."

Li Cheng knew why. It was because President Gao had made an effort and listened to what he said.

Because Yan Hua refused to obey President Gao, President Gao did not let Yan Hua become Vice President. When Li Cheng learned about this, he agreed to a condition with President Gao: Yan Hua would not pursue the matter, but President Gao could not allow the tape recorder factory to go through the write-off process.

What would happen if the tape recorder factory went through the write-off process? If it did, the city would dispose of the factory's assets, and the bank would have nothing to do with them.

If this is the case, Li Cheng will have no chance at all if he wants to get involved in the tape recorder factory again.

Now, the opportunity has come, and it comes suddenly.

President Hou continued, "Director Yang, what do you think we should do now? Should we use our connections at the provincial branch to continue with the write-off process?"

Director Yang scratched his head and said with some embarrassment, "Isn't this a bad idea? Going to the provincial branch through the city branch is like hiding something from the stove and the kang."

"Hidden on the stove and on the kang? How do you say it?"

President Hou didn't quite understand Director Yang's saying.

"What I mean is, the stove is the city branch, and the kang is the provincial branch. Let's bypass the city branch and go directly to the provincial branch. That's too big a step, and it's easy to split our legs."

President Hou understood and smiled.

At this time, Li Cheng said: "Since it is not possible to hide it on the stove and get on the kang, why don't we step on the stove and get on the kang."

As soon as he finished speaking, President Hou and Director Yang looked at him with confusion.

Stepping on the stove and going to the kang, doesn’t that mean stepping on the municipal branch to go to the provincial branch?

"How do you step on it?" Director Yang asked first.

President Hou then asked, "Yes, how are you going to step on it? No, how --- huh?"

Li Cheng smiled and said, "It's very simple, just step on it. Didn't the city branch refuse to let us go through the write-off procedure? Let's ask the city branch to give our branch an official statement, and then we can take this statement to the provincial branch and ask the provincial branch to give us an explanation."

After Li Cheng finished speaking, President Hou looked at Director Yang, and Director Yang looked at her, and they both laughed.

After laughing, President Hou pointed at Li Cheng and said, "Li Cheng, Li Cheng, everyone says you're shrewd and clever, and you really do have a way. Yesterday, President Fu even came to complain about you, saying you were disrupting the meeting and even had the audacity to contradict her. I think as long as you work hard, these meetings and sanitation inspections will just be a waste of time."
