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

Chapter 466 Xia He is transferred to work at the New York branch
Fang Qingye was surprised to hear this: "You're not from the head office of the Eastern Bank, so why would they transfer you to work in the United States?!"

“The Queens branch is the second branch that Oriental Bank is establishing in New York. They selected suitable candidates from across the system, and the branch leader recommended me to the head office. After review, the head office leadership agreed, partly because I am currently single and it is convenient for me to come and go,” Xia He explained.

Fang Qingye had some doubts about Xia He's words.

"You didn't volunteer to go, did you?"

"How could that be? Why would I travel thousands of miles to the United States all by myself? But the branch manager asked for my opinion, and I agreed because I wanted to gain experience in different places and positions."

Fang Qingye paused for a moment, then asked, "How long will it take?"

"Two or three years, I guess. The leader didn't give a specific number."

"Oh, where are you going to stay?"

"I'll rent a place for now, but don't worry, the rent will be reimbursed."

"Don't rent one anymore, I'll buy you one," Fang Qingye said again.

“Please don’t buy it in New York. Houses in New York aren’t as cheap as in Beijing. They cost millions of dollars. Our bank’s leaders have to fill out personal asset reports every year. I can’t explain the source of funds for this house clearly, and it will cause unnecessary trouble,” Xia He explained.

"Oh"

Xia He is telling the truth. This applies not only to banks but also to government officials. They have to fill out similar forms every year, I think it's for those at the deputy director level and above.

“Okay, I’ll think of another way,” Fang Qingye said.

"Alright, don't worry about it. My treatment in New York is pretty good. I'm leaving the keys to this house with Tian Qian so she can find a housekeeping company to help me take care of it when she has time. Of course, you can continue to live here when you come to Huijing."

Fang Qingye nodded and then asked, "When are you leaving?"

"Tomorrow afternoon."

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Yes, I need to report to the head office in Yanjing first, and then undergo a week of training before going to the United States. I was going to call you to tell you about this, but you just happened to be here."

"Then I'll take you tomorrow."

"Ah."

The two hugged each other tightly again.

The next morning, Xia He said she had to go to the branch office again because she hadn't retrieved some of her personal belongings. After having breakfast, she drove away.

Fang Qingye sat alone on the living room sofa, staring blankly at the orchid placed against the wall.

This Phalaenopsis orchid was brought by Xia He from Nanxin; she carried it herself from the nursery to Xia He's office at the branch.

The orchids are well cared for and are lush and green.

Fang Qingye watched for a while, then took out her phone from her pocket and made a call to Qiao Yongfeng.

"Brother Qiao, are you in your office? I want to come over and talk to you about something."

"Okay, come here."

Fang Qingye went downstairs, got into her Mercedes-Benz, and drove straight to the Zifeng Tower. She met Qiao Yongfeng in the general manager's office of Bangcheng International Trade Company on the 38th floor.

At that moment, he was discussing matters with Vice President Yang Yanqiu when he saw Fang Qingye knocking and entering. Qiao Yongfeng smiled and said, "Qingye, please sit down and have some tea."

Yang Yanqiu also knew Fang Qingye, greeted her, and left quickly. Qiao Yongfeng sat down on the sofa and asked, "Why did you come to see me in such a hurry? What's the matter?"

"Brother Qiao, did you know that Xia He is being transferred to the Queens branch in New York to work as the vice president?"

"I heard about it from Tian Qian after I came back from the United States. I thought you already knew," Qiao Yongfeng replied.

"Xia He just told me last night." "Oh, that's good too. A change of environment will be good for you."

Fang Qingye understood Qiao Yongfeng's meaning perfectly well, but didn't know what to say, so she just sighed deeply.

"Qingye, there's no need for you to sigh. Xiahe has already considered this situation. Besides, your business will definitely expand to the United States, so it will be easy to visit her in the future," Qiao Yongfeng comforted her.

Fang Qingye nodded: "Brother Qiao, the reason I came to see you is this: your Bangcheng Company has an office in New York?"

"Yes, mainly because it's convenient for me to handle things in the past."

“I want to buy Xia He a house in New York, but she is now a leader of a state-owned bank, so it’s inconvenient to buy it directly in her name. I can’t go to the United States for the time being, so I would like you to help me buy one in my name. A luxury apartment or a villa is fine, preferably close to her workplace and in a safe neighborhood.”

“Sure.” Qiao Yongfeng agreed readily. “I’ll have my subordinate contact real estate agents and select a few houses according to your requirements. Send me the information so you can take a look before making a purchase. In the United States, you don’t need to be present in person to buy a house or open a bank account. I’ll tell you what procedures are required later.”

“Okay, open a bank account at the same time. I definitely want to go to the United States next year,” Fang Qingye murmured.

Qiao Yongfeng glanced at him but didn't say anything.

The romantic entanglements of young people.

While Fang Qingye and Qiao Yongfeng were chatting in his office, Xia He was also on the phone with Tian Qian.

"Xiahe, I originally wanted to give you a ride, but Yongfeng said that Fang Qingye is coming to Huijing, and he will definitely give you a ride, so I won't bother you."

"Actually, I don't think we should send anyone!" Xia He said while packing her things on the phone. "You all act like it's a life-or-death situation, as if I'm not coming back. My parents are still in Huijing."

"How many times a year can you come back? Xiahe, why do you do this to yourself? You even volunteered to go to America, all alone and miserable there."

"If I don't leave, it will affect Qingye. He's getting married soon, and his career is booming. I'll stay away from him and stop worrying about me so he can focus on his career," Xia He said quietly.

"You think he'll abandon you just because you've run off to New York? I think he'll be even more worried!"

Xia He fell silent.

After a moment, she smiled and said, "Never mind, it's all decided now. Hey, Tian Qian, you're coming to America to see me."

"Of course. Yongfeng used to worry about me when I went to America, but now that you're working in New York, I can come to you and stay with you!"

"welcome."

At noon, the two returned to the Golden Finished Community, and Xia He made Fang Qingye his favorite dish, shredded pork with ginger.

While the two were eating, Fang Qingye said, "Xia He, I went to see Brother Qiao this morning. He helped me buy a house, and you can move in there."

"Qingye." Xia He had just opened her mouth to speak when Fang Qingye interrupted her, "Don't refuse, listen to my arrangements!"

After a pause, Fang Qingye continued:
“With a house, I’ll have a place to stay when I go there. Also, I’ll open a private account in New York and deposit $1000 million in it. I’ll give you the bank card directly, and the password will be your birthday. You can use it anytime.”

Xia He didn't speak, but nodded silently.

At 3 p.m., Fang Qingye drove Xia He to Lukou International Airport. In the waiting hall, the two hugged gently.

"Take care of yourself."

"You too."

Watching Xia He's figure disappear at the security checkpoint, Fang Qingye left, drove straight to Zifeng Tower, and took out her phone to call Yue Kai.

Pack your bags and head back to Nanxin immediately!

An hour later, Yue Kai drove out of the city and glanced at Fang Qingye sitting in the back seat through the rearview mirror. He noticed that Fang Qingye looked preoccupied.
