The branch's traditional practice in dealing with staff accepting money and gifts from customers has always been that officials will not investigate unless the public reports it, or even turn a blind eye.
But rules are rules. After Li Cheng became the director of the credit department, he had no control over people from other departments. However, if people in his department took back bribes, he would strictly prohibit them and deal with them promptly and properly.
For example, he handed over the money and things he received to Gao Qinqin and registered them. He would ask others to do the same if they were asked to do the same.
However, it is impossible to fundamentally prevent his subordinates from accepting money and goods, which is a fact that Li Cheng has to admit.
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes; where there are interests, there are transactions.
A branch is a place where loans are made. When someone needs funds, they will give gifts to the people in the branch.
People in the branch's credit department often receive various gifts, and when they issue loans, someone will give them kickbacks based on a certain percentage.
What is surprising is that this rebate rate is the default in the entire industry.
This is really speechless. After Li Cheng became the director of the credit department, some people gave him kickbacks ranging from 5% to 10% when they took out loans.
Of course, Li Cheng did not take the money.
Some people would stuff money into the gaps of the sofa. It would be difficult to tell who put the money there, so Li Cheng would hand it over.
Some people say Li Cheng is stupid, but more people say that Li Cheng just doesn't care about the money. But no matter what others say, Li Cheng has always been so clean and self-disciplined, maintaining his image of being resistant to corruption and never being involved in it.
Under Li Cheng's influence, Gao Qinqin had no choice but to return the necklace she received to Director Gao.
"Li Cheng, please help me return the necklace to Director Gao. I called him but he refused to come..."
Li Cheng picked up the phone and called Director Gao...
"Director Gao, please come to the branch. Your things are in the guard room..."
Gao Qinqin was convinced, wondering why she hadn't thought of this idea before. It seemed that she hadn't been bribed often enough and lacked the experience to handle such matters.
He opened the drawer, took out the necklace, put it into an envelope, sealed it, and wrote "To Director Gao" on the envelope.
"Li Cheng, run an errand for me!"
Gao Qinqin acted a bit coquettishly.
Li Cheng remembered that he had an appointment with Yang Hong, so he took the envelope and said, "Gao Qinqin, you are committing a crime by asking me to run errands for you. Don't you want to live like this anymore?"
Upon hearing this, Gao Qinqin shouted, "Okay, I won't bother you, the director, anymore. There are plenty of people who can run errands for me. Why would I need to beg you for anything?"
Li Cheng used the envelope as a knife, waving it in the air a few times and said, "Okay, this is the best. I agree..."
Before Li Cheng could finish, Gao Qinqin grabbed the pen on the table and threw it at him...
Li Cheng waved his hand to catch the pen, then left.
Li Cheng and Yang Hong met at the Tea House. After they met, Yang Hong said, "Boss Hu showed up..."
It turned out that Boss Hu appeared at Shunda Seafood Market this morning. After Yang Hong's people discovered him, they called Yang Hong.
Because Li Cheng had already told him to tell him once Boss Hu showed up.
"Is he open for business?"
Yang Hong nodded and said, "Both shops are open, and they are threatening to sublease those shops to others in our market, which is an infringement of his legal interests."
Upon hearing this, Li Cheng laughed and said, "He didn't follow the contract to obey market management and jointly prosper the market. Now he's talking about legitimate interests. What interests does he have?"
"People in the market told me that Boss Hu has quite a few employees under him. There are more than ten people working for the two shops combined."
"Are you scared by a dozen people? We'll go meet him later."
Yang Hong nodded and said, "Okay, let's get the market ready."
Li Cheng took a sip of tea, shook his head and said, "No, no, no, we are opening a business, not fighting for the market. No need to prepare."
The two drank tea for a while longer. Seeing that it was almost time and the market had passed its peak business hours, Li Chengju stood up and said, "Let's go."
The two were about to leave when Weng Xiaozhu pushed the door open and came in. Seeing Li Cheng and the others were about to leave, Weng Xiaozhu said, "What's the hurry? Let's eat first!"
Li Cheng told them that he was going to the seafood market and that if he had dinner first, Boss Hu and the others would leave.
The seafood market opens at three or four o'clock every morning and basically closes at noon.
To be honest, this job is really hard. I have to start receiving and shipping goods at three or four o'clock, and my whole biological clock is turned upside down.
Weng Xiaozhu thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll go with you. I have something to discuss with you..."
Yang Hong was driving, Li Cheng was sitting next to him, and Weng Xiaozhu was sitting in the back seat. The three of them were talking about things as they headed towards the seafood market.
It took about twenty minutes for Yang Hong's Audi to stop in front of the management office of the seafood market.
The managers recognized the car, and after seeing the Audi, several people ran out of the office.
Yang Hong got out of the car, spoke to those people for a few words, then returned to the car and said to Li Cheng, "Boss Hu is still in the store. This morning, he instigated the old merchants in the original seafood market to try to manipulate the seafood prices. Many of those old merchants refused, and he is now angry in the store!"
Li Cheng smiled, opened the door and got out of the car, saying, "You stay here, Xiaozhu and I will go over there."
Yang Hong refused and insisted on going together. Li Cheng told him that Boss Hu was angry and it would be bad if too many of us went.
