Chapter 153 The Mastermind



After Tan Wenjie entered President Hou's office, she greeted him and then stood respectfully in front of him, looking as honest as she could be.

Seeing her like this, President Hou once thought that President Gao had made a mistake in the list and that Tan Wenjie's name should not be on it.

But President Hou had seen Tan Wenji's fake marriage certificate, which listed her spouse as Zhang Guorong. He was furious, but seeing how honest Tan Wenji was, he couldn't bear to yell at her.

President Hou looked at her seriously, while Tan Wenjie lowered her head slightly, clasped her hands together, and looked pitiful.

President Hou asked with a pleasant expression, "Xiao Tan, do you know why I asked you to come here?"

Tan Wenji looked up at President Hou and said, "When our director notified me to come see you, he said it didn't seem like a good thing."

When President Hou heard this, he almost laughed out loud because of her anger.

"What else did your director say?"

Tan Wenjie shook her head, then lowered her head and drooped her brows.

President Hou sighed and said, "Xiao Tan, are you married?"

Tan Wenji shook her head.

President Hou then asked, "Since you're not married, why do I see your name and photo on a marriage certificate, and the wedding photo is of Leslie Cheung?"

Tan Wenji looked up at President Hou and said, "I like Leslie Cheung."

President Hou slammed the table and said, "I didn't ask you whether you like Leslie Cheung or not. I asked you what's going on with this marriage certificate."

Tan Wenjie lowered her head again and said nothing!

President Hou asked again, but Tan Wenjie seemed to be speechless and refused to say another word.

President Hou was a little angry. She stood up and walked over to Tan Wenjie. She whispered in her ear, "Tan Wenjie, do you know that your behavior is wrong? I know you are not the kind of person who would do such a thing. Tell me honestly, who asked you to do this?"

Tan Wenjie turned slightly sideways, as if avoiding President Hou.

Seeing that she still didn't answer her question, President Hou was really angry. She circled around Tan Wenji twice and said, "The consequences of this matter are very serious. Do you think you can get away with it by keeping silent? I'm telling you, if you don't explain this clearly, I will suspend you."

After saying this, President Hou noticed that Tan Wenjie slowly turned her head and stared at her blankly with a pair of watery eyes.

Then, I saw Tan Wenji curl her lips and tears flowed out...

"President Hou, please suspend me. Savings bank work is unbearable. Not only am I exhausted every day, but I also get scolded. Even if the depositors don't scold me, our director will scold me. If you call me here today, I can't settle the accounts. If I don't, everyone will be waiting for me, and then there will be even more people scolding me... Wuwu..."

Looking at the crying Tan Wenjie, President Hou thought to himself, it’s my fault that you got scolded!

However, Tan Wenjie's words also reminded President Hou that it was almost time to settle the bill. If Tan Wenjie did not go back, it would obviously affect their settlement.

President Hou had no choice but to say, "Go away." Tan Wenjie immediately stopped crying, bowed to President Hou, and turned to leave.

President Hou called out "Come back" again, and Tan Wenji froze there. President Hou turned around, picked up a pack of tissues from the table, and gave it to Tan Wenji.

Tan Wenji took the tissue and left quickly. President Hou sighed, thinking that he had found two people but to no avail. Next, he should find someone who didn't have to pay or who could provide a deposit.

President Hou looked at the blacklist again and finally called Li Cheng's office.

Li Cheng was on the phone when the phone on his desk rang. It was Tan Wenji calling to tell him that President Hou wanted to talk to her.

Li Cheng saw that the phone number displayed on the landline was President Hou's, so he quickly hung up the phone and picked up the landline receiver...

"Hello, President Hou!"

"Oh, it's Li Cheng."

It is estimated that Li Cheng is often not in the office, so President Hou was a little surprised to hear that it was Li Cheng who answered the call.

"President Hou, it's me."

"Is Gao Qinqin here? Let her answer the phone."

Li Cheng glanced at Gao Qinqin who was sitting opposite him, and then said calmly, "She went to the bathroom. I'll tell her to call you back when she comes back."

President Hou said, "No need to call back. Ask her to come to my place."

After saying that, President Hou hung up the phone.

After Li Cheng put down the phone, Gao Qinqin pointed at her nose and said, "Is it my turn now?"

Li Cheng said, "We still have a few minutes, you can calm down first."

Gao Qinqin took deep breaths, as if trying to calm herself down.

Li Cheng was a little confused. Logically speaking, after the fake marriage certificate incident was exposed, President Hou should have looked for him first. Why did she look for Zhang Dahe first, then Tan Wenjie, and then Gao Qinqin, but not him?

This is a bit disrespectful to me. You and I are a master-disciple relationship. Shouldn't you come to me first to find out the situation?

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Gao Qinqin suddenly say, "Li Cheng, I'm going."

Li Cheng looked at her fearless face and said with a smile, "Relax, you look like you're going to the execution ground. President Hou just wants to talk to you, not fire you. Why are you so nervous?"

Gao Qinqin nodded and said, "Okay, relax. I won't say a word when I see her."

Li Cheng was about to say "OK" when he suddenly remembered that President Hou hadn't spoken to him first, so he quickly said, "It's not like he's not saying anything. Let's see who else President Hou will talk to. We have more than a dozen people here. I can notify them and let them prepare early."

Gao Qinqin said "OK", then she tidied her clothes and left. After Gao Qinqin left, Li Cheng called Lao Yue.

Before the call was connected, Lao Yue hung up. Not long after, Li Cheng received a text message saying, "Deposit in progress, contact via text."

Li Cheng remembered that when escorting cash, the phone line could not be occupied. So, Li Cheng sent a text message back, asking if he had notified the brothers and sisters in the group.

Lao Yue replied to the text message saying that the message had been sent, but it was probably during working hours and not everyone would receive it.

Li Cheng put down his phone and thought that it didn't matter if no one received it, as he had already given an advance warning last night.

What Li Cheng is worried about now is that someone might not be able to stand the tyranny of a certain bank president and tell others about what happened in the QQ group.

Of course, few people knew that the group leader was Lao Yue. Given their current level of knowledge, they couldn't find the person behind Lao Yue.

As long as Lao Yue is safe, I, the real mastermind behind this, will be safe too. I can't be the first to step out in this matter. If I do, I will surely die!
