Yao Hong finally left, and only after Li Cheng agreed to write a plan for him did he leave satisfied.
After Yao Hong left, Li Cheng looked at Yan Hua, and Yan Hua looked at Li Cheng, both of them with fear in their eyes.
This man is ruined.
Both of them almost thought so.
Li Cheng knew that Yao Hong had recently become obsessed with investing in stocks, spending his days reading endless books on how to trade stocks. Furthermore, he was constantly buying and selling stocks to put his knowledge into practice.
But Li Cheng understood that when the stock market was in a bull market, especially a crazy bull market, anyone who was not a fool would basically make money. Therefore, that kind of knowledge was basically useless at this time.
But Yao Hong disagreed. He believed he had found a winning stock trading strategy, one even more accurate than Lao Yue's formula. So, Yao Hong, who considered himself a stock investment expert, spent his days reveling in his new identity.
It's so easy to ruin a person: teach them to gamble or to trade stocks. These two things have one thing in common: a speculative mentality. And it's a highly stimulating speculative mentality.
One of the weaknesses of human nature is not knowing when to stop and continuing to do things until one’s done something.
This human weakness is fully revealed in Yao Hong.
But Yao Hong was born into a family of scholars, so he acted very elegantly, talking about the theoretical knowledge written by the so-called experts all day long, and from time to time he went to the security department to argue with Lao Yue and others.
The two were silent for a long time. Yan Hua suddenly sighed and said, "Your brother-in-law said that you asked him to find President Gao to make me the official."
Li Cheng looked up at her and said, "Sister, what you said is a bit strange!"
Yan Hua thought about what he had just said, and then burst out laughing.
Li Cheng said, "You've seen Yao Hong's current state. Don't you think you should step forward and try to turn the tide?"
Yan Hua shook his head and said, "But after all, he didn't affect the work..."
Li Cheng continued, "He's about to affect the work."
Yan Hua raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Li Cheng pointed to the phone on the table and said, "He said to notify the Security Department, the Savings Department, and the heads of all savings outlets to come to a meeting at 4 p.m.
But remember? 4 p.m. is the busiest time for these departments, and many things require the signatures and authorizations of the responsible persons. If they were to attend the meeting, the entire branch wouldn't be able to leave work on time, and the armored truck wouldn't be able to return to the vault in time, becoming a night transport, which is illegal.
Li Cheng's words instantly made Yan Hua understand. Yao Hong's decision to convene this meeting, due to the inappropriate timing, would not only disrupt the branch's operations, but also prevent the branch's armored truck from returning in time, forcing the city branch's monitoring center to remain focused on the bright spot on the screen.
In this case, the security department of the municipal branch will definitely cause trouble for the branch.
"What is Yao Hong thinking? Why did she choose 4 o'clock for the meeting? Even half an hour earlier would be fine!"
As he spoke, Yan Hua picked up the phone and was about to call Yao Hong.
Li Cheng put his hand on hers and said, "What are you going to tell him?"
Yan Hua looked at him and said, "I'll ask him who set the time for this meeting."
Li Cheng smiled and said, "He decided it himself. You forgot that when he said the meeting time, he first said 3:30, and then changed it to 4:00."
Yan Hua thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case. This also meant that Yao Hong had set the meeting time. If it was President Gao who set it, Yao Hong wouldn't have made a mistake. He had a small notebook where he would write down every instruction from President Gao.
"Why did he choose such a time?"
Yan Hua complained and let go of the microphone.
Li Cheng looked at her with a sly look on his face and said, "Sister, you really don't know?"
Yan Hua was stunned and asked, "Know what?"
Li Cheng smiled and whispered, "Director Yao goes out almost every afternoon, around three o'clock, plus or minus half an hour."
Yan Hua frowned and said, "Huh? What's going on?"
Li Cheng sat down and continued to register his phone number. Yan Hua slammed the table and glared at him.
Li Cheng looked up at her, then said slowly, "Some time ago, many people in the branch would find excuses to go out during this time..."
Without waiting for Li Cheng to finish speaking, Yan Hua instantly understood why Yao Hong went out at this time every day.
The place Yao Hong went to was the business hall of a securities company, where stocks were traded.
Although she knew where Yao Hong was going, Yan Hua still didn't understand why she was gone for so long. So she asked, "The securities company is just across the street. Why would he need to be gone for so long?"
Li Cheng had already written down all the phone numbers he wanted to call in his notebook. When he heard Yan Hua ask this, he smiled and said, "Director Yao once went to the stock market and was seen by people from the municipal branch. He was afraid of the bad influence. After all, he was the office director. How would it look like for him to trade stocks during working hours? So, instead of going to the securities company across the street, he went to the one in the development zone..."
Yan Hua understood. The securities company in the development zone was quite far away, so the round trip would take a long time.
"This Yao Hong, for her stock speculation, actually affected her work, and it was seriously affected."
Li Cheng said: "That's what you said!"
Yan Hua was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "At least it hasn't affected the work yet, so it can still be saved."
Li Cheng pointed to the phone number he had memorized and said, "Think carefully. Once I make this call, it will determine who will be the head of the office."
Upon hearing this, Yan Hua's face changed. He stretched out his hand and then retracted it, as if he was undecided about whether he should make the call or not.
Li Cheng laughed unscrupulously when he saw her hesitation. Yan Hua glared at him fiercely and sat down angrily.
Li Cheng thought her angry expression was quite attractive, so he stared at her for a moment before saying, "You can't ask President Gao directly for instructions on this sort of thing. If you bother him with such trivial matters, he'll definitely say everyone in the office is just there to eat and not worry about anything."
Yan Hua looked at him without saying anything. She understood this matter better than he did.
"Also, Yao Hong didn't say who chaired the meeting, so it seems he was the one conveying the city branch's notice. So, we can't ask President Gao."
Yan Hua couldn't stand it any longer and shouted at him, "Okay, okay, just tell me what to do."
Li Cheng smiled and said, "It's simple, but you have to be prepared for a conflict with Yao Hong."
Yan Hua looked at him, his eyes even more confused.
