The day that everyone had been looking forward to and fearing finally arrived. It was a Saturday, chosen to take care of the employees working in the savings bank.
The savings bank is open all year round and is only open after get off work in the evening.
That evening, everyone in the branch, including Yue Xiaoyun and her friends who were on maternity leave, came to the conference room.
As soon as they walked in, they noticed something very different. There was another platform next to the podium, and on it was a sign that read "Notary Public."
People were immediately shocked, all feeling that this job competition was different from the ones they had done before. At least, this one was as serious as it could be.
The person who presided over this job competition was a big shot sent by the municipal branch. At this time, he and several people from the municipal branch were sitting on the rostrum.
President Hou and others also want to participate in the competition, so their identities at this time are candidates and they can only sit in the audience.
In fact, all the people in the branch are now candidates, and all positions in the branch must be filled through competition this time.
In other words, if Li Cheng still wanted to be the director of the credit department, he would have to compete for the position this time. Unless he no longer wanted to be the director or had his eye on another position, he would still have to compete for the position.
Although the competition for the job had been circulating for a long time and the city branch had issued the document three days ago, many people were still shocked when they saw that it was now a real thing.
Li Cheng was well-informed, so he wasn't surprised. He was thinking, "I've only been in the Credit Department for less than a year, and I'm already applying for the position again. It's like trying to do it twice."
He looked at the big man on the rostrum, and suddenly an idea came to his mind: since it is a good thing, a good thing that allows the capable to be promoted and the mediocre to be demoted, why should it be done only at the branch level, instead of the city branch, or even the provincial branch and the head office?
You say they're doing this as a pilot, but more than a dozen branches under the city branch are all working on it tonight. Clearly, those at the top always stay at the top, and only those below suffer.
"Every grassroots branch must determine candidates for each position through competitive recruitment, and every branch employee must actively participate in the competitive recruitment process. Everyone must take this work seriously..."
The boss was still giving a mobilization speech. Li Cheng, sitting in the middle of the second row, looked at the back of President Hou's head and thought, "You've been letting me do all the offending things lately, just so others won't vote against you today, right?"
"To demonstrate fairness and justice, we specially invited someone from the notary office to come on-site to notarize the job competition..."
Li Cheng looked towards the notary and saw a man and a woman sitting there. He suddenly remembered the lottery draw.
The competition for positions began, and the first position to be competed for was branch manager.
The only person eligible to compete for this position is Vice President Fu. Yan Hua has no experience as a vice president, so he has no right to compete.
President Hou, whose position was already pending, took the stage to deliver his campaign speech. His speech was brilliant, and it was clear that Deputy Director Cao had been burning the midnight oil and losing his hair.
The ten-minute speaking time passed quickly, and after President Hou finished his speech, he received thunderous applause.
Next was Vice President Fu’s speech, the position she was applying for was also branch president.
In fact, it doesn’t matter whether she gives a speech or not. She herself knows that she is just there to make up the numbers for President Hou.
Originally, she didn't want to participate in the competition for the position of bank president, but the big boss of the city branch talked to her and said that it was a competition, and it was not a competition if there was only one person competing.
So, whether for the sake of showing support or for some greater good, Vice President Fu went on stage with a speech that had been prepared for her.
Vice President Fu thought that after her speech, few people would applaud her, and she had some self-awareness.
But to her surprise, the applause she received was no less than that of President Hou. This scene made her freeze on the stage, and it took her a while to realize that the applause was actually a thank you for her two years of working at the branch.
No one understood the meaning of the applause better than her. She looked at Li Cheng and found that Li Cheng was looking at her with a smile.
That's enough. After working in the branch for two years, I finally understand the meaning of the saying "If you hate someone, bring him to the branch to be the deputy president."
A branch is not a place to slack off, but a place to work hard.
Vice President Fu walked back to her seat and sat down. At this moment, her heart was as calm as water and her eyes were oblivious to everything. She didn't even notice Gao Qinqin coming over to pour her some water.
I've wanted to leave here for a long time, but I didn't know how to leave without being embarrassed. Now, leaving to applause is the best way for me to leave.
The people in the branch are still kind. Even though I didn’t do well, they still treated me with tolerance. Thank you!
She turned to look at Li Cheng, smiled and nodded at him. Li Cheng smiled back at her, which made Vice President Fu feel even warmer.
The voting results are out, and President Hou has won the position of branch president.
The big boss of the city branch and the people he brought with him stood up to congratulate her. President Hou shook hands with them one by one. Only after she returned to her seat did she feel relieved.
Although I know that I can't fail, this way of competing is still nerve-wracking.
At this moment, she suddenly remembered what Li Cheng had said to her earlier, "The public's eyes are sharp. As long as you feel you can do your best for them, you shouldn't be afraid of competing for a job. Give a good turn and you will get a good turn..."
The notary just announced that he received 217 votes, which means he was passed unanimously. Even his rival, Vice President Fu, voted for him.
