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

Chapter 548 The Little Tricks Behind the Scenes of the Two Vice Presidents
"But now we have another branch manager, Chen! A graduate of Tsinghua University, a returnee from overseas, even more capable than Branch Manager Deng! If he were just to be the branch manager of the Pudong branch, he would be fine, but he's going to be the vice president! Isn't this just creating another competitor out of nowhere?"

"Fang Xing, did you notice? When you announced this decision, Deng Xing's eyes changed. I saw it very clearly!"

Ah?
This secretary's analysis was very insightful, and her observations were very meticulous.

Of course, these skills of reading between the lines are just the most basic skills in the workplace, and Fang Qingye could see them clearly.

However, not wanting to discourage his secretary, he continued to ask:

"Then do you think Deng Xing will harbor resentment over this and it will affect his work?" Fang Qingye asked.

Hu Lingling tilted her head and thought for a while before saying:

"Probably not. Deng Xing is a very strong-willed woman. Maybe this will ignite her fighting spirit? Besides, Deng Xing has her own advantages. Although she hasn't been with our bank for long, she is very capable and fair. Everyone admires her and she has her own prestige. In addition, she is from Nanxin and is familiar with the local situation."

As the saying goes, even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake.

"Hmm, that analysis makes sense, not bad." Fang Qingye praised, then said, "I'm not going to chat anymore, you go do your thing."

After speaking, Fang Qingye stood up.

Hu Lingling quickly stood up to go to her office, but Fang Qingye suddenly stopped her: "Hu Lingling, I remember you went to a vocational high school, right? Don't you want to improve your diploma through self-study?"

"Fang Xing, I'm studying on my own right now. I'm enrolled in the Secretarial Studies program at the Huijing University Online College. I'll get a bachelor's degree when I graduate." The girl said proudly.

"What secretarial studies did you choose?" Fang Qingye was speechless. "You're doing a great job as a secretary now, why study those textbook theories? You should study finance or economics, otherwise it would be embarrassing if you, as my secretary, couldn't understand a bunch of technical jargon."

"What should I do? I only have a little over a year left before graduation."

"Forget it, you can continue studying. When you have time, read some finance and economics books, like 'Basic Financial Knowledge' or 'Basic Financial Knowledge and Skills,' those introductory books," Fang Qingye said.

"Fang Xing, say it again, I'll write it down in my notebook, I'll go to Shanghai to buy it this weekend!" Hu Lingling quickly took out her phone and started typing.

Hmm, this child is teachable.

Fang Qingye was very satisfied with Hu Lingling's performance today.

While Fang Qingye was training his secretary, Deng Hui was also talking to her employees in her office.

Her junior, Wei Huaquan, from the credit department.

"Xiao Wei, I have something to tell you. Just now, our branch manager meeting approved your appointment as assistant branch manager of Liulin branch, which is equivalent to deputy branch manager, but you don't have a formal rank yet."

A deputy bank manager without a rank?

But it's not bad either, considering I've only been working here for a little over two years, this can be considered a promotion that breaks the rules.

As long as you achieve some results, why worry about becoming a proper vice president?!
He then said with gratitude, "Deng Xing, thank you for your guidance and care. I am very grateful, really."

"It's not that I'm taking care of you, it's that you have the ability!" Deng Hui said seriously, "You must work even harder in your new position! Don't let me down, don't let our alma mater down!"

"Don't worry, Deng Xing, I will definitely do my job well and live up to your expectations!"

"Alright, go back to work. Remember, don't tell anyone about this before the official document is issued!"

"Okay, my parents won't tell either."

Wei Huaquan went out, and Deng Hui silently looked at the autumn scenery outside the window and sighed softly.

Diagonally opposite her office was Zhao Wenjun's office, where Zhao Wenjun was on the phone, calling Wei Hang, who was still busy in Shanghai.

Wei Hang, on the other end of the phone, thought Zhao Wenjun was asking about work, but was interrupted by Zhao Wenjun after only a couple of sentences.

"Old Wei, I'll report on work later. I have something to tell you: the leadership team for the Pudong branch has been decided. You'll be the vice president, in charge of finance and personnel, etc." "Who's the president?"

“He’s newly hired, a returnee from overseas.” Zhao Wenjun briefly explained Chen Danlu’s situation.

"Wow, President Fang actually managed to find such a formidable person, I'm impressed!" Wei Hang laughed on the other end of the phone.

“The Pudong branch has been given a high-level appointment this time. Chen Danlu is also serving as the deputy branch manager at headquarters, and your branch has also been assigned a deputy branch manager in charge of business, making it one branch manager and two deputy branch managers,” Zhao Wenjun continued.

“That’s good. I heard that the Pudong branch is going to develop internet finance and digital banking. To be honest, I wouldn’t be able to handle the business if you asked me to manage it,” Wei Hang sighed.

"Fang Xing probably had that in mind too. Do a good job, and if you want to come back in two years, I'll try to arrange a ministerial position for you at headquarters so you don't have to travel back and forth."

"Thank you, Director Zhao."

"Why are you being so polite with me? Alright, let's talk about work now."

Fang Qingye was somewhat aware of the underhanded dealings of the two vice presidents, but that was normal. Every organization has its conflicts and factions, as long as they don't affect the work within a controllable range.

The official document was quickly distributed within the Jinghai Bank system, with a copy sent to the county's investment company—Futai Company has now been merged into the investment company, and the other party is also one of its shareholders.

This personnel change has caused quite a stir within Jinghai Bank.

Establishment of Digital Banking Department

A returnee from overseas has joined Jinghai Bank.

He was given a high-ranking leadership position at the Pudong branch, with a system of one principal and two deputies.

The position of assistant president, originally held at Oriental Bank, has now appeared at Jinghai Bank.

These departmental and personnel changes signify that Jinghai Bank has entered a period of transformation, and some internal structures within the bank will face a new round of reshuffling and restructuring in the future.

And all of this is in the hands of this young bank manager.

Fang Qingye, who was at the center of the storm, remained quite normal and continued his routine of going to work at the bank in the morning and working at the nursery in the afternoon.

A week later, Chen Danlu arrived.

He stayed in his hometown for a few days and then went directly to Shanghai. As arranged by Fang Qingye, he met with Bai Ou, the CEO of Tuofang Technology. He did not immediately report to Nanxin, but instead went to the Pudong branch of the bank that was under construction on Yinzhou Street with Bai Ou's company. In the evening, he had dinner with his classmates. The next day at noon, he took a car sent by Bai Ou to Nanxin.

It was already past 4 p.m. when they arrived in Nanxin. Under the arrangement of Fang Qingye's secretary, Hu Lingling, they checked into the Chundu Hotel.

As arranged by Fang Qingye, Fang Qingye will host dinner for Chen Danlu on behalf of Jinghai Bank that evening, and the other two vice presidents will also attend.

He was to report to the bank the next morning, where they would hold a welcoming ceremony for him.

"President Chen, you can rest now. I'll come pick you up at six o'clock," Hu Lingling said.

"Thank you, Secretary Hu." Chen Danlu knew that the pretty young woman in front of him was Fang Qingye's secretary at Jinghai Bank, so he spoke politely and then asked:

Is President Fang at the bank right now?

"No, I usually work at the nursery in the afternoon," Hu Lingling answered truthfully.

"nursery?"

“Yes, Director Fang also runs a nursery in the county town. He likes to spend his afternoons there,” Hu Lingling said.

"Can you take me to see it?" Chen Danlu's curiosity was piqued.
