CHAPTER 54

"Fu Hai, I really need your help in this matter. Otherwise, the child's life event would have been delayed! Apart from anything else, you must come to drink a glass of wedding wine on the day of the child's wedding!"

After settling the issue of the hotel for the child's wedding, Director Chen was in a good mood, and his tone of voice when talking to Xu Fuhai became much more cordial, without any trace of the airs of a leader. Hearing Director Chen's words, Xu Fuhai smiled and said, "Director Chen, why are you being so polite? It's just the right time. I happen to have a hotel over there, so it's just a piece of cake."

Director Chen said cheerfully, "You are too modest! It's just a piece of cake for you, but for me, it's like helping me solve a big problem! Fu Hai, I really didn't realize that you are a real person who doesn't show your true colors!"

Listening to Director Chen's thanks and praise, Xu Fuhai just smiled and said a few humble words, without any feeling of being too excited. In the past, if the top leader thanked him so much, he would be very happy, but now facing such a scene, Xu Fuhai is calm and not at all upset. "Director Chen, don't be polite. I will definitely go to the wedding day when I am free. And about this internal retirement, what do you think..." Hearing Xu Fuhai's words, Director Chen frowned, thought for a while and then said: "Fuhai, before the change, if you asked me this request, I would definitely not agree. After all, you are too young, and it is a pity to retire internally like this. But now I know that you are a person with great abilities, and you can't display them in this small temple of Unit X. How about this matter, do you think this will work?"

Director Chen thought for a moment and continued, "Our unit usually has a lot of business with ICBC. We were discussing this at a team meeting some time ago. We are considering sending a specialist from our unit to work there permanently, and the salary and personnel relationship will remain in the unit. I originally wanted to let Li Hui from your office go, but now I think you are a more suitable candidate. You are more familiar with the people there, and the time and method of the specialist's work are relatively flexible, so you can arrange it freely. Otherwise, how about you go there and be the specialist? There is not much to do usually, so just ensure the smooth development of our unit's fixed corporate business."

After listening to Director Chen's suggestion, Xu Fuhai's eyes lit up and he thought this was a good choice. To be honest, although he had already made up his mind to retire, he always felt like he was giving up halfway, and continuing to sit in the office was really a waste of his time. If he became this specialist, it would be equivalent to retaining his position without having to go to work every day. He could do whatever he wanted, which was very cool! If someone else became this specialist, he might pay a little attention to the bank's discipline and study the business, but did he need it? As a big customer who has deposited more than 100 million in the ICBC Fu City Branch and may continue to deposit more in the future, Xu Fuhai is like a father in the ICBC Fu City Branch. Who dares to restrain him with discipline? As for those businesses, they can be completely handed over to Bai Xiaojie to do, and it will definitely be completed with 120% high quality. For Xu Fuhai, this specialist is simply tailor-made for him! Without much consideration, Xu Fuhai immediately nodded and agreed to the plan. Then, he also expressed his gratitude to Director Chen. Xu Fuhai knew clearly that this was Director Chen's way of returning the favor, thanking him for helping to solve the problem of the wedding venue for his child. The rules of this world are actually that simple. As long as you have the resources that others need, you can exchange them for the resources you need. Although they may be covered with various guises, it is essentially an equal exchange. Just like the position of this specialist, if it was the previous Xu Fuhai, he would not be able to compete for it even if he racked his brains, and he could not find a way to give gifts. But now, before he even said anything, others have taken the initiative to prepare for him. This is the difference between having resources and not having resources. "By the way, Fuhai, Zhou Haiguang is in trouble, and your department is still lacking a director. Logically speaking, you have worked in this department the longest and should be the most suitable candidate, but since you are not interested in this, I will not force you. You are most familiar with the business of the department, so please recommend someone who is suitable to take over as the director of the office?"

Director Chen asked with a smile. "Director Chen, this is a personnel issue, I can't make random recommendations!"

Hearing what Director Chen said, Xu Fuhai hurriedly declined. After working for so many years, he still knew what he could say and what he couldn't say. Personnel issues were the core power of the top leader. Could he just express his opinions casually? Moreover, he wanted to hide away and naturally didn't want to cause trouble for himself. But the more he didn't want to say it, the more he couldn't avoid it. "Fuhai, don't worry, it's just a casual chat, it doesn't matter if you say something wrong!"

Director Chen said with a smile, nodding secretly at Xu Fuhai's performance in his heart. He is capable and talented, and he knows how to speak and act in moderation. It's so comfortable to deal with such a person! Xu Fuhai was not afraid to speak, but he didn't want to cause trouble. With his current status and ability, it doesn't matter if he says a few words on this matter. Even if Director Chen really has an opinion about him, he doesn't care. Hearing that Director Chen insisted on him recommending a candidate, Xu Fuhai knew that he really wanted to hear it, so he didn't hesitate. "Director Chen, if you really let me recommend, I think Li Hui is more suitable. She has been in the unit longer than I have. She has worked in this department for nearly 30 years. She is familiar with the business, has rich experience, and her personal character is meticulous and steady, which is more in line with the nature of the department's work. The only shortcoming is that Sister Li, like me, has never had experience working in a leadership position. There is definitely no problem with the business, but in terms of organization and coordination, it may take a slow learning and adaptation process."

Xu Fuhai said directly. His suggestion was purely from a work perspective and was not mixed with any personal interests. To be honest, at his current level, there was no need to consider any personal interests in this insignificant position. He just said whatever he thought of. After hearing his suggestion, Director Chen nodded repeatedly and said, "Comrade Li Hui has very good abilities and qualities, and your analysis just now is also very accurate. Look, I said you are modest, and this candidate is very well recommended!"

Xu Fuhai listened to Director Chen's praise for him, still smiled and said a few humble words, and seeing that there was nothing to do, he stood up and said goodbye. This time, the efficiency of the bureau was surprisingly high. As soon as work started in the afternoon, a team meeting was held to study the topic. After the meeting, the new appointments of Xu Fuhai and Li Hui were announced. For X unit, which has always been calm and rarely has any big news, the two consecutive events today are no less than dropping a bomb on a calm lake! Everyone in the unit was talking about this matter, so much so that when it was almost time to get off work, the unit held a special meeting of all the staff, and Director Chen personally delivered a speech at the meeting to unify their thoughts. In his speech, Director Chen used Zhou Haiguang's case as an example, once again seriously emphasized the work discipline and integrity discipline, and at the same time clarified the importance and necessity of the internal adjustment of the bureau. He finally emphasized that all comrades in the agency must learn profound lessons from the Zhou Haiguang incident, compare their own reality, and conduct in-depth analysis and comparison. We must persist in preventing problems from happening, catching them early and small, keeping the "first time", not crossing the bottom line, not touching the high-voltage line, and maintaining the good image of X unit with practical actions. Director Chen's speech ended with warm applause. The office director finally emphasized that the whole bureau should seriously study the spirit of Director Chen's speech, take this meeting as an opportunity, and constantly dig out the deep-seated problems in work and thought, and conduct in-depth self-analysis in accordance with the "three musts" put forward in Director Chen's speech. Everyone must write a thought summary of no less than 2,000 words, and submit it to the bureau office before the end of get off work this Friday in units of departments. After waiting for the meeting to end, Xu Fuhai looked at his watch. Fortunately, it was only ten minutes late from the normal time to get off work. Looking at the familiar conference room, Xu Fuhai was a little emotional. This was probably the last time he would attend such a meeting. Starting tomorrow, he, the commissioner, will take office, and from then on he will be completely free from the constraints of working hours and spend precious time enjoying the wonderful life of a rich man! Thinking of this, he cherished this atmosphere a little bit. While slowly leaving the meeting with the people who were leaving, he chatted with familiar colleagues. "Old Xu, congratulations, you found a good place this time!"

"Hey, sure."

"Old Xu, do you have to treat us?"

"Please, I must invite you, let's grill the crayfish!"

"Old Xu, you're in luck this time. You don't have to sit in the office every day. I envy you so much."

... Listening to the sincere or hypocritical greetings of colleagues, Xu Fuhai chatted intermittently. "Fuhai, thank you so much! Director Chen came to talk to me personally and said that you strongly recommended me to be the director. What do you think I should say?"

When there were fewer people around Xu Fuhai, Li Hui found an opportunity to quickly approach him and whispered gratefully, "Sister Li, we have known each other for so many years, why should we be polite? When Director Chen asked me for my opinion, I thought of you first. To be honest, with your ability and qualifications in the unit, this position should have been yours a long time ago."

Xu Fuhai said with a smile. "That's not what I meant. I know it well. Without your recommendation, this position would never have fallen on my head. I will remember this favor. If you need me for anything in the future, just let me know. Don't be polite to me!"

Li Hui patted her chest and promised. "Okay, Sister Li, I won't be polite to you. You are my leader now, so you have to show mercy when you go to ICBC to check on me."

Xu Fuhai said half-jokingly. "You are insulting your sister, aren't you? I can't investigate anyone else's post, but I can investigate you! Fuhai, I'll treat you after get off work this weekend. Let's invite a few people from our department and a few close friends to have a good gathering! I know you are a big boss now, and you have a lot of things to do, but you have to come this time!"

"Come on, come on, listen to me."

"That's right. From now on, we two sisters should visit each other more often. If anything happens, don't be shy with me!"

"Okay, sister. I definitely will!"
