The heavy machinery factory was going to pay out money. This was a big deal, both for the factory workers who hadn't received their wages for over six months, and for the people in the branch.
Not to mention the people at the heavy machinery factory, who hadn't received their salaries in over six months, and now that they were about to receive their paychecks, one could imagine how upset they were. And for the branch, the sheer amount of cash they needed to mobilize, over 70 million yuan, was unprecedented.
How could such a major event be without the participation of Li Cheng and President Hou? Of course, this participation was purposeful.
For Li Cheng, he wanted the people at the heavy machinery factory to remember today, remember this day of timely help.
For President Hou, this was a golden opportunity to shine. Once Deputy Director Cao polished this exceptional opportunity, President Hou and his team would be featured in local newspapers and on television news.
This would be of great help to President Hou's career. So, when Li Cheng expressed his idea, President Hou was very happy in his heart, but he did not show it on his face.
But Li Cheng had already noticed the subtle changes in her expression. So, Li Cheng said to himself: Just pretend! In fact, you are already very happy!
Everything is green and ready.
The next day, heavy snow fell. Li Cheng, who arrived at the branch early in the morning, looked at the gray sky and thought to himself that this was really a timely help.
At this time, someone said to him: "Li Cheng, President Hou is here."
Li Cheng turned around and saw President Hou's Audi slowly driving into the compound. Li Cheng hurried over and waited until the car was stable. He opened the door and President Hou got out.
"Li Cheng, it's snowing today, please be careful."
Li Cheng said "I understand," and then asked President Hou to walk to the other side...
This was the entrance to the vault. When President Hou approached, the staff on duty quickly stood up and saluted. Deputy Director Cao, who had already turned on his camera, followed President Hou and the others...
After walking through a short corridor, President Hou and his companions arrived at the vault door. Behind this door lay over 70 million yuan in cash. For this reason, Lao Yue and his team had added additional staff on duty.
According to Li Cheng's script, President Hou was to stop at the vault door, and Deputy Director Cao was to give him a close-up shot.
But the actual situation was that although President Hou stopped, as soon as Deputy Director Cao's camera approached her, President Hou saw the black camera pointing at her like a cannon, and she actually became a little nervous.
This tension probably didn't reflect what Deputy Director Cao had expected on screen. So, Deputy Director Cao looked at Li Cheng standing nearby with some embarrassment.
Li Cheng raised his hand and pointed at his watch, which meant that he was in a hurry and this shot could be retaken.
President Hou's hand holding the vault key was shaking a little, and it took him several tries before he could insert the key into the keyhole.
When Li Cheng saw it, he thought to himself that he could just take more shots and come back to take more shots after it was done.
According to the script, filming should stop once the key is in the keyhole, because if we continue filming, the secret will be revealed.
The current vault managers are Yao Hong and Lao Cheng. They hold the vault's A and B keys, respectively. Managing vault keys is a fascinating matter: once you have the A key, you're locked out of the B key for the rest of your life.
By the same token, the person holding key B cannot touch key A in his lifetime.
After the bank president finished inserting the key and took everyone away, Yao Hong pulled out the key and reinserted it into the keyhole.
What Yao Hong does is actually more like a ritual. Opening and closing the vault every day has become Yao Hong's daily routine.
Therefore, turning this into a ritual was actually a sign of respect for Yao Hong's job. Li Cheng was to blame for this. Li Cheng had once told Yao Hong that managing the treasury was very important, and in ancient times, it was even more serious. Losing even a tael of silver would result in death.
As a result, Yao Hong inexplicably felt a shadow in his heart. He was extremely careful when working, and he never left the key to the vault that he was in charge of.
The key in Lao Cheng's hand also entered the keyhole, and then they both turned the key at the same time, and then began to turn the combination lock...
The heavy metal door of the vault opened, revealing sacks piled on the ground.
There was so much money that it had to be put into sacks. At this time, Director Wang and others who came to help also followed Yao Hong and Lao Cheng into the vault and started loading sacks onto the cart...
When both carts were filled with sacks, Yao Hong and others began to push the carts out of the vault.
At this point, according to the script, Deputy Director Cao would begin filming. After waiting for the president and others to come over to help push the cart, Deputy Director Cao turned on the camera...
Li Cheng was on duty today as a security guard. The amount of money being transported was so large that both of the branch's armored vehicles had to be dispatched, and Li Cheng also requested an escort vehicle.
This would require more manpower, and Li Cheng would have to work as an escort again. An escort needs to wear a bulletproof helmet, a bulletproof vest, and a pistol around his waist, which looks quite impressive.
Amidst the heavy snow, the sacks were loaded onto two vehicles. After the safes in the vehicles were closed, Li Cheng walked towards the first escort vehicle and sat in the driver's seat.
There were only Li Cheng and Deputy Director Cao in the car. Li Cheng didn't want to tie up too many people, so he had to do many things himself.
After honking the horn twice, turning on the hazard lights, and turning on the red warning lights on the roof, the small convoy set off in the heavy snow.
In fact, the heavy machinery factory is not far from the branch, only two intersections away, which is four or five kilometers away.
There were few pedestrians on the snowy day, and the convoy arrived at the entrance of the heavy machinery factory smoothly.
"Li Cheng, look!" Deputy Director Cao shouted.
In fact, Li Cheng had already seen it, so he slowed down the car.
Although he was mentally prepared, Li Cheng still didn't expect so many people to come here on such a snowy day.
The people waiting at the gate made way for Li Cheng, who then drove into the factory. Suddenly, they began to applaud...
Thunderous applause!
To be honest, Li Cheng was a little excited at this time. He looked outside and saw the people who were welcoming them in the heavy snow, and his eyes were actually a little moist.
As soon as the car stopped, Deputy Director Cao opened the door and got out while shouting, "I have to record this."
After the three cars behind them stopped one after another, Li Cheng and the others began to take precautions. People were still applauding, and a long line had already formed at the entrance of the agency.
Li Cheng took a look at the people queuing and found that those in the front were all elderly people.
President Hou also got out of the car, and several leaders who had been waiting there for a long time hurried over to greet him...
At this time, Li Cheng, Lao Yue and others showed their high professionalism. They surrounded the armored car, their hands on their belts, their eyes scanning the surroundings, protecting Yao Hong and others as they unloaded the sacks filled with money...
There was auspicious snow falling from the sky, but there was cheering here, which made everyone present remember this day.
