Chapter 37: 036 The Crisis Passes Safely Once Again

On this side, Fang Qingye didn't wait for a message from Xia He on QQ, but instead received her phone call.

"Xiao Fang, come to my office now."

Xia He didn't say what she wanted him to do over the phone; naturally, Fang Qingye didn't ask either. He agreed, turned around, went up to the third floor, and knocked on Xia He's office door.

Seeing Fang Qingye enter, Xia He left her desk, took a small jar of tea leaves from the bookshelf, and said with a smile, "I heard you like drinking tea. This is Yuhua tea I brought from home. Have a taste."

After speaking, Xia He grabbed a small pinch of tea leaves and personally brewed tea for Fang Qingye.

"Senior sister, what's wrong with you today? So polite?" Since the two were familiar, they spoke casually when no outsiders were around.

"This isn't politeness; this is to express my sincere gratitude to you!" Xia He said while placing the brewed tea on the tea table.

Fang Qingye picked up the teacup, looked at it first, then took a sip before saying, "Indeed good tea. The soup color is fresh green and bright, the taste is fresh, mellow, and crisp. Is this top-grade Yuhua tea?"

"Mm, that's right."

Fang Qingye drank two sips, then asked, "Senior sister, what did you want to thank me for on QQ just now? I don't understand it at all."

"It really confirms our guess; the cause of Sun Jiaming's death is not simple." Then Xia He recounted the entire matter in detail.

Fang Qingye listened with a face full of surprise.

He hadn't expected that just after processing the Employee Fidelity Insurance, this incident occurred at Nanxin Sub-branch, making it perfectly applicable.

"Xiao Fang, do you think I should thank you?" Xia He smiled brightly.

"This is what I should do." Fang Qingye humbly said a word, then added, "This also shows, Senior sister, that you have good luck."

"Yes, good luck." Xia He sighed.

If it weren't for this Employee Fidelity Insurance filling the 400,000 hole, would my fate be the same as Xia Hangzhang Xue's group from Heping East?

Of course, this luck was brought by the young man before her eyes.

Was he seemingly her lucky star?

That statement was a bit metaphysical; she found it hard to say aloud.

"Xiao Fang, there is another matter I must trouble you with." Xia He sorted through her thoughts and said seriously, "I plan to go to the City Branch tomorrow to report this matter to the relevant leaders. Please write a report material for me."

"Oh, asking me to write material? Senior sister, is this your way of thanking me?" Fang Qingye asked.

"I'm really sorry; I have too many things on hand and no time to write. I originally asked Wu Shengli to write it, but he still needs to cooperate with the People's Bank and the Public Security Bureau on the investigation... As for others..."

Speaking to this point, Xia He paused, then said again, "Before this matter is completely handled, I don't want more people to know. I'm worried someone will use this opportunity to stir up trouble. If media reporters are drawn in, it will be even more troublesome. I trust you, so I must trouble you again... You write it, and I will revise it."

"Alright." Fang Qingye agreed.

Writing material was also part of his own job; he couldn't just do nothing all day.

"Then I'll trouble you with the hard work."

Fang Qingye returned to his own office, opened a Word document, and started writing.

Moreover, the report material posed no difficulty for him.

First, the process of the incident must be narrated clearly; fabricating things is not allowed. This is the most basic requirement.

Of course, one can downplay the heavy and highlight the light, emphasizing the role of the sub-branch leadership team in handling the entire event: arriving at the scene immediately, comforting the family to keep emotions stable, striving to control public opinion, and so on. These are things superior leaders like to hear.

Turn big matters into small ones, and small matters into nothing.

Of course, in the entire event, the loopholes in management and existing problems of the sub-branch must also be explained clearly. There is no need to beat around the bush; these are open matters.

Those who can become branch leaders are not fools; they are not easily fooled. Deeply recognizing the problems existing within oneself is the best strategy.

However, more importantly, one must draw inferences from one instance and outline the measures to be taken in the future: strengthening professional ethics training, strictly following operational procedures, handling affairs according to rules and regulations, and so on... This is the key point to write more about; it must occupy at least half the length.

Of course, there is an even more important point: perfecting the Employee Fidelity Insurance!

Fang Qingye thought as he wrote, the keyboard clacking loudly.

"Eh... Xiao Fang, you actually know Wubi?" Liu Mei, passing by his side, seemed to discover a new continent and asked.

"Wubi, I know both Wubi and Pinyin." Fang Qingye answered with a smile, "This computer was previously installed with Wubi, so I was too lazy to download other input methods."

"Nowadays, fewer and fewer people know Wubi." Liu Mei said a sentence and turned to leave.

Writing freely for nearly three thousand characters took less than two hours. After checking again to see if certain sentences were smooth and if there were any typos, it was done.

Originally, Fang Qingye planned to transfer the file to Xia He via QQ, but after thinking about it, he decided to follow the file procedure instead.

So he printed it out, went upstairs, knocked on the door, and handed it to Xia He.

"Finished writing so quickly?" Xia He felt surprised.

She asked Fang Qingye to sit down and drink tea first, while she picked up the document and read it carefully.

Wow... it's much better than I expected!

Xia He looked at it and gave a mental thumbs-up.

What needed detail was detailed; what needed brevity was brief, especially the mention of the Employee Fidelity Insurance at the end.

What is there to perfect?

It was merely hinting to the superior leaders about the merits she had achieved.

It seems Fang Qingye understands my intentions deeply.

"Not bad, Xiao Fang." Xia He raised her head and looked at the other party. "If I didn't know you wrote it, I would have thought it was an old hand in the office who handles materials."

"Thank you for the praise. If there's nothing else, I'll head down." Fang Qingye finished speaking and was about to leave.

Work hours were already over; he didn't want to stay in the office for another second.

"Alright then. You've been working hard recently; go back and rest well." Xia He said, then sighed softly and added, "I wonder if I can pass Xia Hangzhang Zhang's test."

Seeing Xia He's face turn worried, Fang Qingye thought for a moment and offered a comforting word:

"I estimate the problem isn't big. After all, no economic loss was brought to the bank, and the timely handling didn't bring much negative impact. Of course, criticism is inevitable."

"I'll take your good words." Xia He said.

Early the next morning, Xia He took a car to the city district to report work to the branch leaders.

The situation during the report was naturally unclear to Fang Qingye, but after Xia He returned in the afternoon, Fang Qingye met her in the hallway, and she actively greeted him.

Seeing that Xia He's expression showed no unusual signs, Fang Qingye knew this hurdle had been cleared by Xia He.

A few days later, they received an official red-headed document from the municipal branch. The document criticized the leadership team of the Nanxin Sub-branch and ordered its members to reflect deeply, draw lessons from this case, and ensure such problems would not recur.

This document was simultaneously distributed to all sub-branches within the system, requiring internal personnel to study it.

The wording in the document was very severe, but any clear-eyed person could see it was merely criticism and education; not even a self-criticism was demanded, a world of difference from how the leadership team of the Pingdong Sub-branch had been handled some time ago.

Immediately after, the branch issued another document, requiring the vigorous promotion of Employee Loyalty Insurance across all sub-branches in the entire system.

The crisis was safely weathered once again.

Today was the weekend; Xia He sat in her office, reading documents while softly humming a tune—when she was in a good mood and alone, she liked to do this.

The mobile phone on her desk rang; she picked it up, glanced at the screen, smiled, and answered. Soon, a man's voice with a slight Wu accent came through.

"Xia Hangzhang Xia, I truly envy you, being able to pass this hurdle so easily."

It was Xue Tao, who had been exiled to the Zhongxiang County Sub-branch after a subordinate embezzled 500,000 yuan in depositor funds to gamble.

"The amount of funds involved by my subordinate this time wasn't as large as yours last time; the branch leaders have shown leniency," Xia He replied.

"What's the big difference between 400,000 and 500,000? It's just that you were smart enough to think of arranging Employee Loyalty Insurance. If I had arranged it for my subordinates back then, I wouldn't have ended up in this situation today." On the other end of the line, Xue Tao let out a long sigh after speaking.

"Xia Hangzhang Xue, do not lose heart. With your work ability, you will return to the Pingdong Sub-branch sooner or later. Mencius said: When Heaven is about to confer a great responsibility on someone, it first hardens their mind and spirit..." Xia He comforted him.

"Hehe, let us hope so." Xue Tao laughed on the other end of the line: "Xia Hangzhang Xia, should you rise to high office in the future, do not forget me if you become wealthy."

The two chatted for a few more moments before hanging up the phone.

Do not forget me if you become wealthy...

Thinking of the words Xue Tao had spoken, a faint smile appeared on Xia He's fair face. She picked up her mobile phone, logged into QQ, and sent a message to Fang Qingye.

"Xiao Fang, are you free tonight? Let's go play ball."

After a while, the other party finally replied.

"Today is Friday; aren't you going home?"

"I'll go back tomorrow. Anyway, there's nothing much to do at home. After playing ball, I'll treat you to tea. I heard the tea at the Yikangyuan tea house is very good..."
