Chapter 36 [VIP]
Chapter summary: "I am his wife."
"A whistleblower letter?" Qian Lina exclaimed in surprise. "I didn't."
"Did you write this?"
Qian Lina was completely bewildered, having no idea where this matter came from, but when she saw the "whistleblower letter," everything became clear.
The whistleblower's extremely harsh wording directly accused Ni Zhenzhen of passing the written test because she had a close relationship with the branch manager and used this relationship to learn the questions in advance.
Others may not know, but Qian Lina understands very well that if Ni Zhenzhen really had some kind of relationship with the branch manager, she wouldn't have waited until now to be transferred to another position.
Of course, Ni Zhenzhen was able to pass the exam thanks in large part to the director giving her a book about financial leasing.
However, Qian Lina really had nothing to complain about, because the director thought of her first, but she pushed the translation task onto Ni Zhenzhen. Ni Zhenzhen not only readily agreed, but also selflessly shared the materials with her after the translation was completed.
As for why the person who wrote the whistleblower letter would think that way, Qian Lina was not surprised, because the instigator was herself.
“It was my mom who wrote it.” Qian Lina was both angry and helpless. “I didn’t do well on the written test, and I didn’t dare to tell her the truth, so I said that those who passed must have connections. I didn’t expect her to… You must not believe her.”
The two exchanged glances again, then exchanged a meaningful smile. "It's good that you confessed."
As Qian Lina stepped out of the conference room, she realized that her back was almost completely soaked with sweat, and a gust of cold wind made her shiver.
How could her mother do this? She wrote a complaint letter behind her back and almost got her killed.
However, she didn't seem to have any grounds to blame her; ultimately, it was her own fault.
Not long after Qian Lina returned to the counter, the people from the head office's personnel department left. The director saw her all the way to the door. Because of the distance, she couldn't see the director's expression, but the bowing and scraping manner was enough to say everything.
It's said that even a seventh-rank official has to be careful around the prime minister's gate. As long as someone comes from the head office, even if their rank and seniority are lower than yours, you still have to serve them carefully.
Qian Lina sighed inwardly, wondering when she would have the same good fortune as Ni Zhenzhen.
Ni Zhenzhen was leaving, and Song Likun also submitted his resignation at this time.
After that incident, he started sending out resumes, and later, through the introduction of a friend he played basketball with, he prepared to work as a basketball editor for an online media company.
"Wow, a big company!" Ni Zhenzhen exclaimed.
"So what?" Song Likun smiled bitterly. "In my parents' eyes, it's still not as good as a rural bank." He hadn't told his parents that he wanted to change jobs, and he didn't plan to. Anyway, he was an adult, and he should be responsible for his own life.
Ni Zhenzhen said with no small amount of envy, "Congratulations on being able to do what you love."
"And what about you? Do you like..." The voice unique to young people stopped abruptly. Song Likun stared at Ni Zhenzhen, then smiled self-deprecatingly at her increasingly puzzled eyes, and continued, "Do you like your future job?"
Ni Zhenzhen lowered her eyes and did not answer.
From the moment she chose to enter the banking industry, she seemed to have become immune to the concept of "liking" things. However, her nature always allowed her to easily find precious crystals among piles of broken glass.
Her job as a teller exposed her to the harsh realities of life and introduced her to a group of lovely uncles and aunts who treated her like their own child, affectionately calling her Xiao Ni, chatting with her, and bringing her food.
Ni Zhenzhen couldn't let go of them the most, so she specially took a day to visit these old customers with fruit and milk to express her apologies.
“A new colleague will take over financial matters from now on. Here is his contact information. You can contact me anytime if you have any other questions.”
On the day Ni Zhenzhen officially started working at the financial leasing company, it was drizzling. After a week of novelty and busyness, including reporting for duty, onboarding, and training, she was assigned to the ship leasing division.
In addition to functional departments such as risk management, asset management, legal, audit and compliance, and capital management, financial leasing companies also have three business departments: aircraft leasing, ship leasing, and machinery and equipment leasing.
Ni Zhenzhen was not familiar with the relevant knowledge of ship leasing. She had finally managed to get a general idea of the information she had when the HR staff suddenly informed her that she had been transferred to the aircraft leasing division.
Department head Li Xiang actually remembered her. "I remember you. We were hesitating between you and another person who had a finance background but was a little weak in English. In the end, Aaron said that you could pass the written test even without a finance background, which shows that you have a strong learning ability."
The Aaron he was referring to was the head of the ship leasing division, the one who transferred her here.
Li Xiang remarked with emotion, "Perhaps it's because Aaron and you both started out as bank tellers that you feel a mutual respect for each other."
No sooner had she finished speaking than someone knocked on the door and came in looking for Li Xiang. Seeing that they had something to talk about, Ni Zhenzhen quickly took her leave.
Li Xiang said some encouraging words before saying, "You go ahead and get busy."
As soon as Ni Zhenzhen returned to her workstation, her colleague peeked over and asked, "What did Richer say to you?"
"I told you about the previous interview."
My colleague nodded, then his eyes lit up, and he asked with a hint of gossip, "How many companies have you talked to about shipping?"
Although they have already started working, the financial leasing company is still in the preparatory stage. The company is scheduled to hold an unveiling ceremony at the beginning of next month, at which time not only will government officials and leaders at all levels of the head office be invited to attend, but a major event will also take place: the signing of strategic cooperation agreements with interested companies.
In the banking industry, the most frequently used phrase is "a good start." The three business departments appear to be on good terms, but in reality, they are secretly competing with each other, all hoping to come out on top at this important moment.
Ni Zhenzhen said, "I'm not too sure either, it seems like it hasn't been decided yet."
"It's really not easy to finalize this in such a short time. Fortunately, we don't need to worry. Everyone knows that Richer and Su Wenjin of Cinda are very familiar with each other, so this order from Cinda is definitely in our hands."
"Su Wenjin?" Ni Zhenzhen couldn't believe it. The person she had only seen on TV was actually so close to her. "Does this mean we have a chance to meet him?"
My colleague smiled and said, "He came yesterday. Richer gave him a tour. Didn't you see him?"
"No." Ni Zhenzhen shook her head regretfully.
Why didn't she transfer here yesterday? Ni Zhenzhen was still lamenting that she hadn't been able to see Su Wenjin's true face when suddenly, she received a message that Richer asked her to go to Xinda to pick up the information.
Ni Zhenzhen stood up amidst the envious comments from her colleagues, "Richer really values you," and took a taxi to Xinda.
The process of entering Xinda was very smooth, much easier than entering a bank office building. Perhaps Li Xiang had some credit for this. It was probably because Li Xiang and Su Wenjin were old acquaintances that she was able to receive the courtesy of being personally received by Su Wenjin's assistant.
Meanwhile, Cinda also specially set aside a small meeting room for her, and her assistant introduced her to another female staff member, "who will handle any needs."
After the assistant left, Ni Zhenzhen waited in the conference room for a while, and then a female staff member brought over the documents with several other people.
Ni Zhenzhen stared in disbelief at the mountain of documents, "So much..."
The man laughed and said, "This is only part of it. The aircraft maintenance data is at the base at the airport. We still need to wait for someone to organize it and send it over."
"Oh, thank you for your hard work."
Ni Zhenzhen glanced through the documents and found that many of them were in English. She picked out the useful ones, scanned, copied, and archived them. While organizing the catalog, she also labeled the documents for easy retrieval later.
Before she knew it, it was noon. The staff member who was in charge of her contact knocked on the door. "Want to go for lunch?" She waved her employee badge in her hand. "It's on me."
Ni Zhenzhen smiled apologetically, "I have an appointment."
She had already planned it out; she deliberately didn't tell Xu Tianzhou that she was here, just to give him a surprise.
Ni Zhenzhen came out of the office building and entered the mall through another entrance. After going down the escalator, she arrived at a rice noodle shop that was open for business.
The rice noodle shop staff were handing out numbers to customers in line. Ni Zhenzhen stepped forward and asked, "Is Xu Tianzhou here?"
"The manager is inside," the clerk said, pointing to the innermost door.
Ni Zhenzhen didn't go inside. She took out her phone and texted Xu Tianzhou, "Are you busy? I went out to eat with my colleagues. The food was pretty good. Let's eat together next time."
She found a picture of bibimbap online and sent it along with that message.
Ni Zhenzhen wanted to wait for Xu Tianzhou's reply before knocking on the door.
What would his expression be if the person who was having dinner with colleagues a moment ago suddenly appeared in front of him? Ni Zhenzhen became more and more excited, eager to find out the answer immediately. She told herself to stay calm, but she waited and waited, and still didn't receive a reply from Xu Tianzhou.
never mind.
Ni Zhenzhen decided to knock on the door directly. She pushed through the crowd to the door, and just as she raised her hand, a shop assistant rushed over, "You are…"
Everyone here knows that unless the store manager calls them, they are not allowed to knock on the door.
Ni Zhenzhen smiled and said, "I am his wife."
"..." The shop assistant was clearly taken aback and couldn't help but look her up and down for a while. If she were his wife, that would be an exception, right?
Seeing that the shop assistant did not stop her again, Ni Zhenzhen raised her hand to knock on the door again. Strangely, not only did no one come to open the door, but there was not even the slightest sound.
Ni Zhenzhen confirmed with the shop assistant again, "Is he inside?"
"Yes," the shop assistant said confidently. She then asked the others if they had seen Xu Tianzhou leave, and everyone shook their heads.
Ni Zhenzhen tried calling Xu Tianzhou, but no one answered until the call automatically ended. She called again, but still no one answered.
My hand holding the phone was sweating. In this slow-motion moment, the mischievous thoughts and the excitement were gone. All that remained was panic, fear, and a bad thought.
Could something have happened to him?
Ni Zhenzhen knocked on the door and called his name, but no matter what she did, only a tightly closed wooden door answered her.
We can't keep dragging this on.
Ni Zhenzhen calmed down from her panic and uttered two words with unusual firmness, "Break down the door."
