Chapter 186 Three things to do when a new official takes office

After the meeting, President Liu called a small meeting with Yao Gang, Su Ming, and Fang Qingye, mainly to emphasize the need for stronger unity. The three of them naturally expressed their agreement.

At noon, a banquet was held for President Liu and his entourage. In the afternoon, Yao Gang began to formally assume his duties as president. The next morning, as soon as he arrived at work, Yao Gang called Fang Qingye to his office.

This was originally Xia He's office. After Yao Gang came, the desks, chairs, bookshelves, and all the furnishings in the room remained unchanged, but Fang Qingye could no longer feel that familiar atmosphere when she entered.

Yao Gang was very enthusiastic. As soon as he saw him come in, he came out from behind his desk and greeted him, "Assistant Fang, sit down, sit down, I'll make you some tea."

You're welcome, I'm not thirsty.

Nevertheless, Yao Gang poured him a cup of tea and then sat down on the sofa next to him.

"Assistant Fang, I have something to discuss with you today," Yao Gang said.
“When I came to the Nanxin branch, I found that there were no job responsibilities for the assistant branch manager, which is not conducive to the exercise of power and supervision. So, based on the actual situation of our branch and referring to my previous experience at the Pingdong branch, I have formulated a job responsibility statement. Please take a look.”

After saying that, Yao Gang stood up, took out a document from his desk drawer, and handed it to him.

Fang Qingye took it and examined it carefully.

The regulations are very detailed, listing a whole host of powers and responsibilities, such as assisting the bank president in carrying out his work, coordinating relationships between departments, handling emergencies, managing external relations, and maintaining the bank's image and interests. However, they are all vague, except for the fact that there are no members of the credit approval team who have the most important power to participate in the review process!
"Assistant Fang, what do you think? Raise any objections as soon as possible!" Yao Gang said.

"No," Fang Qingye said with a smile, "I think it's fine."

“Then we’ll hold a meeting of the bank presidents, and after it’s approved, we’ll announce it to the entire organization!” Yao Gang said.

Fang Qingye has been removed from her position as a member of the credit approval team by the newly appointed bank president!

The news spread quickly throughout the branch, leaving many people looking at each other in bewilderment.

As the saying goes, a new broom sweeps clean, but no one expected that the first fire would be set on the former star of the Nanxin branch!

The news spread quickly, and even some business owners who frequently obtained loans from Oriental Bank and had close relationships with the bank knew about it.

Fang Qingye's colleagues and friends who were usually on good terms with her called or left messages on QQ to comfort her. In the evening, Xia He also called, her voice somewhat angry.
"What happened? I specifically called Yao Gang before I left and told him not to remove you from your position as a member of the approval team, that you were perfectly capable of handling it, and he agreed readily, but you were removed after only two days in office?!"

"No way, I'm going to call him and confront him tomorrow!"

"Alright. If you were the branch manager of a provincial branch, you could make this call, but right now you're just the deputy director of the international business department. The county-level branches don't even handle the business you're responsible for. Do you think they'll listen to you?"

Fang Qingye advised, "You should just focus on doing your job well and don't worry about these other things."

"But I'm worried about you, Aoba. Are you very disappointed to hear this news?"

"What's there to be disappointed about? They even asked for my opinion, and I agreed," Fang Qingye said with a smile.

"Huh? You agree?"

"They're being polite at first, then resorting to force. Why should I argue with them? I don't even want to do this. You're the one who pulled me into the group in the first place," Fang Qingye said with a smile.

"Sigh," Xia He sighed and said softly, "How about I find a way to transfer you to Huijing as well, Qingye?"

"What? Want to elope?" Fang Qingye joked in a low voice.

"Of course that's one reason, but it's not the main one! I want you to leave Nanxin and stop being treated like this by Yao Gang!"

"Right now, I'm just a lowly soldier, I'll be bullied wherever I go. Alright, don't worry, I'll see what tricks Yao Gang has up his sleeve. If I have to, I'll just quit." Fang Qingye sneered.

Fang Qingye was indeed preparing to leave, so he couldn't be bothered to fight for the position of member of the credit approval team. His resignation letter was already written and placed in his desk drawer.

But suddenly he felt a little ashamed to leave like this.
Yao Gang's "fire" wasn't limited to this one move. He quickly launched an internal employee management mechanism reform, reportedly to learn from the advanced management experience of foreign banks, strengthen employee assessment and incentives, evaluate potential, and use a "nine-square grid" to accurately position each employee.
Chaos erupted, and complaints filled the air.

Of course, Yao Gang also offered a carrot, saying that the long-term vacancy of a vice president at the Nanxin branch was highly abnormal and needed to be resolved quickly. He planned to promote someone from among the branch's middle-level managers.
Some people immediately flocked to it. Fang Qingye did not make any comments, but simply observed coldly.

However, something happened this morning that made him very unhappy, and the two even argued a bit.

As soon as he arrived at work, Yao Gang called Fang Qingye and asked her to come to his office. After entering the office, Fang Qingye saw Yao Gang take a document from his desk and hand it to her.

"Take a look, this is my plan for the fourth quarter. President Xia had also made one before, but I felt the numbers were a bit conservative, so I adjusted it."

keep?

Fang Qingye took it and examined it closely, and was immediately taken aback.

Putting everything else aside, the balance of deposits for both corporate and personal accounts has increased by 30% compared to the same period last year!

It turns out that Xia He's target was 8% growth!

You're certainly not conservative, but this is way too much!
“President Yao, I think it’s a bit too high.” Fang Qingye spoke frankly this time: “Such a high deposit target will put a lot of pressure on the employees, and they might have to buy deposits again, which is explicitly prohibited by the higher-ups. Also, this target will make the targets set by the higher-ups next year even heavier, and I’m afraid we won’t be able to meet them.”

“How could it not be possible? When I was in Pingdong, both corporate and personal savings balances were higher than in Nanxin! Pingdong only has 75 people, but Nanxin has a whopping 108 million! In terms of economy, although Pingdong is a district of Jinghai and is more developed than Nanxin, the gap between the two shouldn't be this big!”

Fang Qingye was speechless after hearing Yao Gang's words.

Do you think we don't know what kind of shady things your Pingdong branch has been up to? Not only are your employees buying deposits privately, but at the end of the year, in order to rush to meet your targets, you've even openly bought deposits from other banks in the name of the bank!

Who pays the fees for these deposits purchased in the name of the bank?

The bank will naturally pay for it!

Then they use falsified accounts to cover it up, all for the sake of the leader's personal political achievements!

You think we don't know?!
However, there's no point in saying all this now. Fang Qingye simply said, "I personally disagree."

“You can keep your opinion,” Yao Gang said coldly.

"Nothing else? Then I'll be going." Fang Qingye didn't say anything else and turned to leave the room.

At lunchtime today, Fang Qingye, as usual, sat down at an empty table after getting his food and ate in silence. Usually, there were many people sitting with him at lunch, chatting and laughing. But since Yao Gang took office, the number of people sitting at the same table with him has decreased significantly, as if they are intentionally or unintentionally avoiding him.

At this moment, Chen Meimei came over with a lunchbox and sat down next to him.

"Meimei, you're still moving closer to me," Fang Qingye said jokingly.

"Why not? Who says I can't eat with you?" Chen Meimei said, glancing at a table not far away.

The table was full of people, including Yao Gang. Everyone was sitting around Yao Gang, eating and chatting.

"I heard that President Yao revised the targets for the fourth quarter. To be honest, they are simply impossible to achieve," Chen Meimei said softly.

"Don't worry, Dahai will help you attract deposits," Fang Qingye said with a smile.

"Sigh," Chen Meimei sighed, then suddenly thought of something and whispered, "Ye Zi, today I was reviewing a company's loan application materials and I found something strange."

"What's wrong?" Fang Qingye asked casually while eating.

Chen Meimei hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's not convenient now. I'll bring the materials to you when I get to work later."
