I'm in the county town, and you say I'm a big shot?

Chapter 1 Something Big Happened! Million Yuan in Deposits Disappeared
Fang Qingye slept until half past seven when he was woken up by the ding-dong sound of the alarm clock.

He woke up with sleepy eyes, dressed and washed, slowly tied his tie, put on his dark blue suit, and prepared to go out to work. Before leaving, he did not forget to fix his makeup in front of the fitting mirror.

A young face immediately appeared in the mirror, and the eyes revealed a clear and slightly stupid look.

Fang Qingye smiled.

Young is so good.

Just a month ago, he returned to March 2008.

Just a few months after graduating from Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, I am now an employee of the Nanxin Branch of Oriental Bank - still in the internship period.

Nanxin County is his hometown.

The house is quiet.

Both of my parents are teachers. My father is the principal of the county Chengguan Middle School, and my mother is an ordinary teacher at Qianjin Road Primary School. She has already started working.

Fang Qingye went downstairs, rode his scooter out of the community and headed west along the street.

Nanxin is a small county town in central Jiangsu Province. The sun rises very early here, and the morning sun has already spread across the entire county town. Cars are coming and going on the streets, and white smoke is rising from the steamers in the breakfast shops on both sides. The whole town is full of the atmosphere of fireworks.

Fang Qingye was in a good mood.

Compared to struggling in the foreign land before rebirth, life in the small town is very relaxing.

So, I sleep until dawn, then slowly get up, get dressed and wash up. It takes five minutes to ride my bike to get to the office, then have breakfast in the cafeteria, and sit in the office at exactly eight o'clock.

I remember that after I resigned from my job in my hometown, I went to Shanghai to develop my career. I took the subway to Lujiazui to work. The commute took at least an hour and a half. I had to get up at six o'clock every morning and often got home after ten o'clock in the evening. I was like an ant living underground, in the dark.

And the food in the company is also good.

In the morning, you can choose from soy milk, fried dough sticks, and Nanxin County's specialty snack, noodles, for 50 cents. Lunch is also very rich, usually four dishes and a soup: 1.5 yuan.

The salary is pretty good, just over 3000 yuan per month. After the internship, you can get 4200 yuan as a full-time employee. This does not include the year-end bonus and various holiday benefits. In addition, you can get 14 months' salary a year! This is a high salary in the entire county.

Banks are still very popular these days.

Fang Qingye quickly arrived at the branch building at the intersection of Changle Road, rode his bike in through the nearby gate, parked his scooter in the carport, and then went to the cafeteria.

After taking out his lunch box from the cupboard, Fang Qingye went to the window to get his meal. However, he soon discovered that the atmosphere in the cafeteria was a little strange today. The employees were whispering about something while eating.

"Hey, did you hear that something big happened at the Qianjin Road Savings Bank?"

"Is it the story about Tenglong Industrial's 2000 million yuan in savings bank that disappeared? I heard about that, too. It's so bizarre, it's like a movie!"

Immediately, the onlookers nearby came up and said, "Ah, why didn't I know? Tell me quickly, what's going on?"

Fang Qingye just listened silently, and an old event immediately came to his mind.

The famous Tenglong Industrial deposit loss case!

It caused a sensation back then.

Of course Fang Qingye would not join in the fun. He ordered a plate of noodles, looked around, trying to find an empty table. Seeing someone waving at him, he walked over.

There were already two young people, a man and a woman, about his age, sitting at the dinner table. The man was called Zhang Rong, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses. He graduated from the School of Finance and Economics of Jiangsu University of Science and Technology and was now rotated to the General Office, a well-informed place.

The girl's name is Chen Meimei. She graduated from Huijing Audit College. She is petite and works very hard while rotating in the Finance and Accounting Department.

All three of them were recruited last year and rotated among various departments of the bank. In addition, two temporary workers were recruited and have already started working in grassroots savings offices after receiving training.

After Fang Qingye sat down with the bowl in hand, Zhang Rong immediately lowered his voice and asked, "Fang Qingye, a big thing happened at Qianjin Road Savings. Did you know?"

"I just heard someone talking about it, but I don't know the details," Fang Qingye replied.

"Just yesterday afternoon, Tenglong Industrial Corporation, one of our bank's top three clients in terms of deposits, had its cashier go to the Qianjin Road Savings Bank to transfer 2000 million from a special account of the company. Guess what happened?" Zhang Rong left the question in suspense, waiting for Fang Qingye to respond.

However, seeing Fang Qingye eating noodles slowly and not wanting to respond, he had no choice but to continue:

"It turned out that the 2000 million in the account had been transferred away and disappeared without a trace!" "Could it be that the deposit has grown legs?" Fang Qingye replied.

"I'm not very clear about the specific situation, but our industry is now famous!" Zhang Rong said, his face somewhat excited, with a typical look of someone who is eager to create chaos in the world.

Chen Meimei, who had been silent the entire time, sighed softly, "Well, I don't know how many people will be involved."

Fang Qingye glanced at the girl, and she was also involved in this matter.

It's not that she was involved in this matter, but she was assigned to help the investigation team from the city.

It seems to be like this?

She joined the investigation team not because she was more capable than the old employees, but mainly because she had been in the bank for a short time, had no foundation, and had few vested interests.

Of course, Fang Qingye didn't say anything. After finishing his meal, he cleaned up the dishes and went to the credit department.

He is now doing a rotation internship here.

The Credit Department is considered to be a relatively powerful department in the branch, responsible for loan issuance and post-loan management. Although the final approval authority lies in the hands of the president, the early customer information application, review and evaluation are completed by the Credit Department. Therefore, not only the chief and deputy chief of the Credit Department, but also ordinary staff in the department are often invited to dinner.

Fang Qingye, an intern who was rotating in the Credit Department, was invited by the boss of a county company two days ago. He went to the Golden Land Hotel for dinner with his colleagues in the department, and went to KTV to sing in the evening, and did not go back until midnight.

Of course, he does not touch the core business, and his job is to help colleagues organize various materials and enter data.

His job today is to enter the information of the five companies that have been approved for mortgage loans into the computer, and then organize and archive them.

This job is not tiring. Fang Qingye sat in his workshop, drinking tea and recording slowly.

The work is easy and comfortable, but it’s a pity that I can’t listen to music online - all the computers in the Credit Department can only access the bank’s intranet.

The office was usually very quiet, with everyone busy with their own tasks, but today the atmosphere was noticeably restless, with everyone putting down their work and whispering to each other.

Naturally, it was still the matter of the bizarre theft of deposits from Tenglong Head Office. Of course, they talked about it in more detail and in more depth.

"I heard that someone from Tenglong Industrial has called the city branch to complain about this matter, and the city has set up an investigation team and will be here today."

"That's not right? At least they should notify our branch first to conduct an internal investigation. Why would they call the branch directly?" A male colleague with a flat head immediately raised the question.

"That's right, it's totally out of character. I wonder if you've called the police?"

"It seems not. Our President Zhao worked overnight with the CEO of Tenglong Industrial to persuade him not to call the police for the time being and to let us conduct an internal investigation within the bank first. Family disgrace should not be made public."

"Well, that's true. President Zhao is very experienced."

Colleagues nodded.

"Hey, talk less! It's working hours now!" Everyone was chatting happily when a man in his thirties pushed the door open and shouted at everyone.

Su Ming, head of the Credit Department.

"The bank's leadership just held an emergency meeting and issued an order prohibiting all staff and cadres from discussing this matter! Violators will be severely punished. Bonuses and wages will be deducted!"

As soon as Su Ming said this, everyone immediately shut up and went about their own business, but when he left, the discussions started again.

"Hey, you said President Zhang is about to retire. Will this incident affect his reputation? His reputation will be ruined in his later years." Someone sighed.

Someone immediately retorted:
"The matter hasn't been fully investigated yet, so how can you say that someone has lost their integrity? Maybe it's not our bank's fault, but Tenglong Industrial's problem."

"That's right. Even if it's the bank's fault, it's at most poor internal management. Whoever is responsible should take responsibility. President Zhang has been on leave for over a year to recuperate. What does it have to do with him? I think the unlucky one is President Xia."

"Yes, she's currently the vice president in charge, and according to the bank's leadership division, the Qianjin Road Savings Branch is under her charge. If anything goes wrong, she'll definitely be in trouble!"

"So, does this mean President Xia's promotion is going to be a failure?"

Fang Qingye didn't say anything the whole time. He sat in his seat and concentrated on entering data.

This melon is not very tasty because he knows more details.
