Yao Liang has been waiting anxiously for the convening of the board of directors. Although Zhou Liwen had clearly pointed out when he met him before that it was not appropriate to be promoted to vice president this time. Not only will he be strongly opposed by the bank and the board of directors, but even if he is barely promoted, he may lose his authority in the credit department.

Yao Liang knew in his heart that these questions raised by Zhou Liwen did exist, but for him, he was still full of temptation in his heart when facing the position of vice president. President Su was about to step down. Even if he did not retreat this time, the board of directors would reach a certain age next time. In other words, these two years are the most critical moments. If he cannot be promoted to the position of vice president within this period of time, no matter how powerful he has in the bank, he will completely lose hope of competing for the position of president.

Of course, the hope of completely losing the position of presidential position in competition is not forever, but it will be at least a few years or even a dozen years. How many years and decades are there in life? Although Yao Liang can afford to wait, he still doesn't want to waste this precious time.

For this reason, he has been in the bank many times these days. On the one hand, he asked President Su for information, hoping that the other party could stand on his side. Yao Liang knew that his popularity at the senior management of Shanghai Bank was not good, and the four deputy governors either had conflicts with him or looked down on him, a new young man. From this point of view, he belonged to President Su's "direct line". Even for a while, Yao Liang had the idea of ​​completely surrendering to President Su and making a decision with Zhou Liwen. However, that time Zhou Liwen left him a profound lesson丨 almost ruined the matter. If Zhou Liwen had not put him a code in the end, and he had implemented President Su's plan, he would have been unable to even sit at the position of director of the credit department.

But what disappointed Yao Liang was that President Su had never expressed his loyalty and hints to him, and he was talking about a foggy and foggy voice to himself. Even a few days ago, when the board meeting was about to be held, President Su actually went to Su City to inspect the work. This was clearly hiding from himself.

In recent years, as the president of the president, President Su, except for the establishment and attending branches in several important areas, has he been to grassroots inspection work? Moreover, Yao Liang is not without hearing in Su City. He had already found out that President Su did not go to the branch there at all. The specific work was handled by Vice President Lin. As soon as President Su arrived in Su City, he moved into the yacht club there. He stayed leisurely for a few days, not even seeing half an outsider.

President Su's attitude made Yao Liang feel excited. He also heard that Vice President Qiao asked to see President Su on the excuse of reporting work every few days. This proved that Vice President Qiao also set his sights on the position of the President. Once he succeeded, Yao Liang would be sad in the future.

In two days, the day when the board of directors is officially held, and Yao Liang's mood is getting more and more irritable. He even planned to use the power of branches in various places to put pressure on President Su and the board of directors to achieve his goals. However, this move is not so easy. Once he walks out of this move, it means that the relationship between Yao Liang and President Su has completely deteriorated, and if both sides suffer losses, it will be more than worth the loss.

Just when Yao Liang was very confused and wondering if he wanted to have another talk with Zhou Liwen, he unexpectedly received a call from President Su. The old man Su talked to him kindly on the phone for a few official matters, and then asked him if he had any arrangements tonight and if there was no arrangement, he would invite him to have dinner at home.

"Don't worry, I will arrive on time."

Yao Liang, who was a little excited, said this to the phone, and his excited expression appeared on the color after hanging up the phone. He secretly guessed whether things had changed. Could it be that Zhou Liwen made arrangements for him without his knowledge? You know, President Su never invites anyone to his home, and even refuses his subordinates to visit him during festivals. But today he took the initiative to let himself go for dinner. It seems that something is coming.

In the afternoon, Yao Liang found an excuse to go to the mall in advance and prepared a gift for visiting. In the evening, Yao Liang drove to the community where President Su lived. After parked the car, he walked towards President Su's house with the gift in his hand and walked briskly towards President Su's house.

The community where President Su is located is an old-fashioned community built in the 1980s. It is similar to the kind of community where Zhou Liwen’s parents used to live. The six-story house and the exterior walls have become old because they have not been refreshed for many years. The streets of the community are also bumpy, and when it rains, there will even be water accumulation in some places.

As the president of a commercial bank, I can't imagine that President Su would live in such a place. It is said that this is the house he was assigned to when he was the director of the credit union. He lived there for two years and had never moved.

After entering the door, the lights in the corridor had already broken down, and there was no voice-controlled lights installed in this old-fashioned community. Yao Liang, carrying things, went upstairs and climbed to the third floor, and used the light from the inner balcony corridor outside to find the location of President Su's house.

After ringing the doorbell, a closed wooden door opened from the inside a short while. He wore a sweater and an apron around his waist. When President Su rolled up his sleeves, he greeted Yao Liang with a smile when he saw that he came.

After entering, I found that behind the wooden door was not a room, but the inner balcony walkway between the two houses. However, the two houses installed a wooden door close to the stairs, and then closed the inner balcony and changed it to a kitchen that was used by the two houses.

"Old Su, are you a guest at home?" A woman in her sixties was busy working against the stove inside. Seeing President Su open the door and bringing a young man in, she asked with a smile.

"College of the unit is here to sit down. You are busy, let's go in first." President Su greeted the neighbor with a smile like an ordinary old man next door, and then opened his door and led Yao Liang in.

President Su’s home has the largest area on this floor, and of course the largest area refers to relatively. Compared with other homes that are only more than 3 or more square meters, his two and a half bedrooms and a half bedrooms facing south are the best.

After entering the door, Yao Liang looked at the layout inside. It turned out that the kitchen was transformed into a small living room. On the left is the bathroom and one and a half room doors, and on the front is another bedroom. Since the small living room does not have a window facing outward, it will look extremely dim if the lights are not turned on.

"You came as soon as I finished cooking, and the time was quite accurate." Su Xinglong took off his apron, threw it into the bathroom with the door open, and then called Yao Liang to walk to the one and a half room.

When Yao Liang pushed the door open, he realized that the one and a half rooms had been opened, making it a large study room of about 18 square meters. Although the furniture was relatively old, it was cleaned very clean and arranged in an orderly manner.

"My wife left a few years ago, and the children were not around. One bedroom is enough. How about it, this study is pretty good, right?"

"No, really good," Yao Liang replied with a slander, showing a very admirable look on the surface, but in fact, this old man Su is really good at showing off. This old guy has been sitting in the position of president and chairman of Shanghai Bank for so many years, but he still lives in such a dilapidated house. He has made such a dilapidated study that is not as good as his own kitchen and is still deliberately complacent? Is this necessary?

Not to mention his current status, it is natural to say that before the establishment of Shanghai Bank, with President Su's position and income, even if he lives in a house that is better than his own villa. You should know that although his wife passed away a few years ago, Yao Liang also knew that his son and daughter were all abroad now. He heard that the business was doing very well. But he still lived in this old house, showing off his hard and simple appearance. Even his neighbors didn't seem to know his real position and just regarded him as an ordinary person.

Is it necessary to do this? Yao Liang shook his head secretly. No wonder this old guy never wants his subordinates to visit him. Could it be that his appearance makes people think that he is honest and upright?

The dishes prepared by President Su were very simple, including a plate of fried chicken and feathers, a plate of fried eggs, a plate of fish-flavored eggplant, a steamed mandarin fish, and a vegetarian soup. They were all ordinary and could no longer be ordinary home-cooked dishes. After taking a towel and wiping their hands, President Su smiled and greeted Yao Liang to sit down and let him taste his skills.

At this time, Yao Liang remembered to hand over the gift he had been holding. Seeing Yao Liang bringing the gift, President Su raised his face and blamed him a few words. Yao Liang quickly explained: "You invite me to dinner. As a guest, I have to bring some gifts to the door, let alone this is the first time I have come back. Don't worry, I know your rules, I didn't bring anything, I just had two bottles of wine."

"liquor?"

"Look at you, don't you have high blood pressure? I want to drink wine, it's not a famous brand, it's just a wine that has no brand given by a friend. I borrow flowers to offer you new things."

Take out the wine bottle from the packaging bag and look at it. As Yao Liang said, there is no special label on it, but there is a thing that I can't understand in English. President Su nodded slightly, said no, then put one bottle aside, picked up another bottle and said, "Okay, let's drink this wine today."

He found Qi Zi and took two more cups. President Su opened the wine and poured two glasses. After a while, he tasted it first, then raised his eyebrows and took another big sip.

"This wine tastes pretty good, Xiao Yao, you're so kind."

"It's good if you like it, it's good if you like it..." Seeing President Su drinking wine like drinking soda, Yao Liang's eyelids twitch. This is not a drink, it's just a waste of wine. You know that these two bottles of wine do not have any labels and look inconspicuous. In fact, it's a private wine collection of French wineries, and a bottle of wine costs a lot of money. Yao Liang took a lot of effort to carry gifts, but in the end, the old man Su was basically a cow chewing peonies, and he looked at the blind man. If he had known this, it would be better to buy a box of Chao Yu Hong, who was more than 106 yuan, for him to drink.

Just a mouthful of good wine worth thousands of yuan, the two of them ate the table, which was no more than 100 yuan, and chatted while eating. President Su first talked a lot of nonsense, starting from the time when Yao Liang found the Shanghai Bank for the Alipay project, and then made a connection to the project, which led to the success of the project. He slowly talked about his resistance and recruited Yao Liang from other banks to Shanghai Bank as deputy director of the credit department.

President Su talked about the past, and Yao Liang politely praised President Su, saying something like "I am kind to me and I should be grateful to me."

"Xiao Yao, how many users are there in Alipay at present?"

After drinking a glass of wine, President Su lifted the remaining half bottle of wine from the ground and poured himself another glass.

"The statistics of last month showed that registered users had exceeded 100 million. According to the current trend, it is estimated that it will exceed 300 million in less than two years."

"Not bad, very good," President Su said very satisfied: "Just one project has such a large user base. Xiao Yao, your work achievements make me very satisfied. You must know that when the credit union restructured the Shanghai Bank, the total number of savings users in the entire bank, including the branches below, did not even reach this half. But in just a few years, it was really unimaginable that it had such a large scale."

"This is all good for your leadership. If it weren't for your wise decision-making, this project wouldn't have had such development momentum."

"Hahaha, there is no need to say such words. If I take all the credits over, it would be too fake. Xiao Yao is a good thing to be modest, but if he is too modest, he will pass it. Besides, if Jay Chou heard this, he might even make fun of me, the old man."

Yao Liang accompanied him to smile and shook his head quickly: "That's not necessarily the case. Jay Chou has always admired you very much. Moreover, this project is the result of cooperation between the two parties. If you want to make a contribution, you, as the president of the president, will of course have made the first contribution."

President Su agrees very much. Although he has spoken a little, his proud expression still shows his true feelings.

After drinking a sip of wine, President Su looked at Yao Liang with a smile on his face, and suddenly asked: "The day after tomorrow, it will be the board of directors. Do you have any ideas about this board of directors Xiao Yao?"

"How can I think? President, I am your assistant. I have not served on the board of directors, and secondly, I am not a shareholder. I have control over the acres of land given to me by the bank. What can I think." Yao Liang was stunned at first, and then replied with a concealed smile. But that's the case, but he was a little uneasy and secretly wondered what the purpose of President Su's question was.

"You, you are right and wrong." President Su nodded at him with chopsticks and shook his head, "It's normal for young people to have some ideas. I have thoughts when I was as old as you, and now young people think more and more advanced than our generation."

"Look at what you said, how can I compare with you?" Yao Liang turned his cigarette over and smiled and gave President Su a little.

"No honesty" President Su took a sip of cigarettes and looked at him squintly, "I just called you here today and wanted to hear your thoughts, otherwise you would think I was so idle and didn't have time to invite you to dinner. Don't look at the place where I live. Let me tell you the truth, not many people in the entire industry have enjoyed this treatment."

"Yes, yes." Yao Liang nodded repeatedly, then said: "Since the president, you asked me to talk, then I will talk. In fact, there are no ideas at all, which is not practical. To be honest, I have some ideas in this board of directors. But I also know that it is not me who can become a reality. After all, there was a gap before."

"It's not your personal, haha, as you mean it's me?" President Su smiled and said, "You guy is still talking, just say that you don't want to be a general's soldier is not a good soldier. A few days ago, have you been tumbling around in the business? You even hint to me several times, why, have you taken a fancy to the position under my butt?"

Yao Liang didn't expect President Su to say so directly, and was stunned and a little embarrassed.

After waved his hand, President Su said again: "Actually, my age is here, and everyone in the industry knows that I can't sit in this position for long. As Gu Yu, especially the senior staff, I hope to go further and even take over me. Vice President Qiao is playing the same abacus as you, but do you know why I called you over today and didn't call him?"

"This... is all your cultivation of your leader..."

"Cultivation? Bullshit" Who would have thought that President Su suddenly swears. Just when Yao Liang was stunned, he sneered: "Xiao Yao, everyone in the industry knew that I brought you in. At that time, you mentioned the director from the deputy director, and the director and assistant to the president, I did it under pressure. But Xiao Yao, you know that if you don't have the help of Jay Chou, you wouldn't be able to sit in this position. You should tell me, Lao Su, or your old friend Jay Chou?"

This answer made Yao Liang feel cold sweat from behind for a moment. He never expected that President Su would show off with him so directly. How did he answer this? It was Zhou Liwen, which definitely didn't work. If it was President Su, it was a bit fake. Old Man Su is not a fool. If one answer is wrong, his hope will be completely shattered.

Take out the cigarette and light it. Yao Liang took a few sips, then said, "President, I don't deny Jay Chou's help to me. How come he and I are old friends, and the main partner of Alipay's project is Jay Chou, and he is also a director of the industry. But you also know that I have always been on your side. Do you still remember the incident in the past two years? I almost broke up with Jay Chou for something. Can't this prove my attitude towards you? If you insist on bringing me to Jay Chou, then I can't do anything. But you have to believe that I am in Cao's camp and my heart is in the Han... No... how do you say it? Anyway, I have always been yours.

After saying that, Yao Liang looked at President Su's reaction uneasy, but the old man just squinted his eyes and looked at him without saying a word. The more he did this, the more silence Yao Liang felt. Just as he was thinking about whether to show his attitude, President Su finally sighed: "Okay, I don't force you. People are doing it, God is watching. Some things are not spoken by words, but by actual actions."

"Don't worry, I will definitely let you see the action." Yao Liang wanted to dig out his heart on the spot for President Su to see. President Su smiled without objection, picked up his chopsticks and clicked on the mandarin fish: "Come on, eat this fish while it's hot, and it won't be delicious if it's cold..."
