Chapter 1186

Perhaps it was because he looked old that no girl had ever liked him. Over the past two years, Lu Xiaoya and Chen Xiaomeng had introduced him to a few girls, but for various reasons, nothing ever came of them.

Su Xinghui said, "You should hurry up and solve your personal problems. You're already twenty-five; you've long since passed the age for late marriage."

Suddenly, Bao Wenting became coy. Su Xinghui's heart stirred as he watched, and he said, "Old Bao, do you have a target in mind?"

Bao Wenting hesitated for a moment before nodding. Su Xinghui said happily, "Which girl have you taken a fancy to?"

Bao Wenting said, "I came today to ask for your help. Do you know Qin Yan from the Agricultural Bank?"

"Qin Yan?" Su Xinghui tried hard to recall, "The one at the Agricultural Bank branch?"

Bao Wenting nodded, "Yes, that's her."

Su Xinghui finally remembered the girl. She was probably the prettiest girl at the entire Agricultural Bank branch. However, her beauty wasn't the kind that stunned people; it was a gentle, refined beauty that made people feel comfortable just looking at her.

Every time Su Xinghui went to the Agricultural Bank branch to handle business, he would see her serving customers very earnestly, always with a smile on her face and great patience. She was a bit different from the other tellers at the bank.

In this era, bank tellers' attitudes weren't as good as they would be twenty years later; they could be quite haughty. A teller like Qin Yan was considered somewhat of an outlier. No wonder Bao Wenting had taken a liking to her.

A girl like that, who was so patient with customers—could she be anything but a good wife?

Su Xinghui smiled, "You have a good eye. But how can I help you?"

Bao Wenting said, "I don't know how you can help me either, but you're the only person I know here who is a local. If you don't help me, who will?"

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Fine, that's a very sufficient reason. I'll help you."

Bao Wenting broke into a smile, but he felt a bit uneasy again. He didn't know how Su Xinghui would help him.

Su Xinghui picked up the phone, and Bao Wenting immediately became nervous. Would Su Xinghui call Qin Yan directly?

Su Xinghui dialed a number, and the other party answered quickly. Su Xinghui said with a smile, "President Cai? What are you busy with lately? Oh, if you have time, come over here for a drink. Good, I'll wait for you."

Su Xinghui hung up the phone and said to Bao Wenting, "Old Bao, let's drink together this afternoon. I've invited the president of the county Agricultural Bank for you. When the time comes, I'll help you ask about Qin Yan's situation. Know yourself and know your enemy, and you'll never be defeated."

Bao Wenting was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly.

President Cai arrived at Pengjiawan Town around five o'clock in the afternoon. If any other township head had called him for a drink, he might not have refused, but he wouldn't have rushed over that same afternoon. However, since Su Xinghui had called him for a drink, he naturally rushed over at the first opportunity. He couldn't wait to get on good terms with Su Xinghui.

Su Xinghui called Bao Wenting over, and the three of them went to the Chaochao Restaurant. After ordering food and drinks, he said to President Cai, "Brother Cai, let me introduce you. This is Bao Wenting, the deputy manager of the administration department at the special steel plant. He's also my classmate."

President Cai was filled with respect. Regardless of which identity Bao Wenting held, he was someone he couldn't ignore. He extended his right hand to Bao Wenting and said, "Hello, Manager Bao! I am Cai Tongbin, president of the Shangjun County Agricultural Bank. It's a pleasure to meet you. In the future, your special steel plant must strongly support our Agricultural Bank in terms of deposits!"

Bao Wenting smiled, "Hello, President Cai. It's a pleasure to meet you too. Our plant has already opened an account at your bank."

President Cai said, "Thank you, thank you!"

Before long, the food and drinks were served. President Cai first raised a glass to Su Xinghui and said, "Little Brother Su, I want to thank you for this drink!"

Su Xinghui's heart stirred, "Brother Cai, what are you thanking me for? Are you about to get a promotion?"

Sure enough, President Cai nodded, beaming with joy, "Yes, the provincial branch has already sent people to talk to me. I'm being transferred to the provincial branch next month."

Su Xinghui asked, "What position?"

President Cai said, "Director of the Deposit and Remittance Division."

Su Xinghui smiled, "Congratulations, congratulations! Congratulations, Brother Cai!"

President Cai's promotion this time was indeed worth celebrating. As a county-level branch president, his administrative rank was only that of a section-level cadre. Jumping straight to the provincial branch to be a division director was equivalent to skipping two levels; it was an exceptional promotion.

Of course, it was normal for him to receive an exceptional promotion. Over the past two years, the deposit balance in Shangjun County had skyrocketed like a rocket, leading by a wide margin among the major state-owned commercial banks in Shangjun County. Deposit balance was the most important indicator for evaluating a grassroots bank president, so it was perfectly normal for him to be favored by the provincial branch.

Moreover, President Cai had also gained some credit in the Qu Chengan fraud case. It was he who had stopped the provincial branch from granting a loan to Qu Chengan, allowing the Agricultural Bank's provincial branch to avoid a huge loss.

The Industrial and Commercial Bank's provincial branch had lent eighty million to Qu Chengan. Although Qu Chengan had been caught and the stolen money recovered, the conclusion of the case was still nowhere in sight because Qu Chengan was suspected of too many fraud cases. The eighty million from the Industrial and Commercial Bank was still being held at the procuratorate as evidence.

Because of this, the relevant leaders of the Industrial and Commercial Bank's provincial branch were severely criticized by their superiors, while the relevant leaders of the Agricultural Bank's provincial branch were praised by their superiors for insisting on principles in this matter.

Since they were praised, they naturally had to reward President Cai, the great hero in this matter. Thus, they decided to transfer President Cai to the provincial branch to serve as the director of the Deposit and Remittance Division.

In any case, President Cai was a master at pulling in deposits, so serving as the director of the Deposit and Remittance Division could be considered putting his talents to good use.

President Cai smiled, "This is entirely thanks to you. Actually, even if you hadn't called me today, I was planning to come here to thank you."

Su Xinghui drank a glass with President Cai with a smile, "Fine, Brother Cai, you'll be a provincial leader in the future, so you must look after us."

President Cai said with a smile, "Stop joking with me. Do you still need me to look after you? But if there's anything you need help with, just say the word."

Su Xinghui said to Bao Wenting, "Old Bao, hurry up and toast Brother Cai. You need his help with your matter."

Bao Wenting quickly picked up his glass and said to President Cai, "Brother Cai, I toast you."

After President Cai drank the glass with Bao Wenting, he said, "What matter does Little Brother Bao need my help with? Just say it. Since you are Little Brother Su's classmate, you are also my little brother. As long as it's a favor I can do, I will definitely not refuse." ===== CHAPTER 1188 =====
