74: Chapter 74: There are always dinner parties

In Zhou Wanqing's office, Su Yao sat opposite her.

Zhou Wanqing took out an envelope, which was sealed with a stamp.

She handed it over: "Su Yao, this is the list of evaluators who will represent the group to attend the insurance bid opening in two days. They were randomly selected from the leaders of the various subsidiaries."

"I don't know who they are either. Wait until the designated time tomorrow to open it, and then send out the notifications."

Su Yao took it, looking a bit nervous.

She hoped Su Nange would win the bid, but that guy didn't seem to care at all and hadn't approached her to talk about it.

Su Yao knew that Su Nange didn't want to put her in a difficult position.

Zhou Wanqing smiled: "It's just an ordinary procurement project, so you don't need to be nervous. When the time comes, you should also go to the trading center. Observe how the bid evaluation is conducted on-site and learn as much as you can so you can take on greater responsibilities in the future."

Su Yao nodded; being intelligent, she understood the meaning behind Zhou Wanqing's words.

She said gratefully: "Thank you, Director Zhou."

Zhou Wanqing thought for a moment and then asked: "By the way, have there been any updates recently?"

Su Yao understood what Zhou Wanqing was asking, but it seemed Su Nange hadn't made any progress yet.

Su Yao could only reply: "He might be busy with the bidding recently; we haven't been in much contact."

Although Zhou Wanqing might not have had personal experience, she had certainly seen how things worked.

Whenever he was mentioned, the well-behaved girl in front of her would inexplicably get nervous.

If Zhou Wanqing couldn't see that, she wouldn't be sitting in this position.

However, Zhou Wanqing actually felt quite good about herself.

She thought, "Although I fired you, now, not only have I given you a job, but by a stroke of luck, I've also sent you such an excellent girlfriend."

"Just wait and see how you'll have to thank me when the time comes, you kid."

If Su Nange knew what she was thinking, he would chuckle: "Yes, I really do need to thank you, so you'd better be ready to receive it when the time comes."

Zhou Wanqing continued to say to Su Yao: "It's fine, wait until this busy period is over. There's a lot of financial work at the end of the year, so it's better to focus on your main job first."

Suddenly thinking of something: "By the way, there's a dinner party tonight with leaders from the four major banks of the banking syndicate. I've invited your department's Director Zhao to join. Why don't you come along too?"

Su Yao understood that this leader, who was like an older sister, was subtly supporting and training her.

For finance, connections with upper-level bank personnel were extremely important.

Although it was just a dinner, for Su Yao's future work, it would be all benefits and no harm.

However, Su Yao was a bit troubled: "Director Zhou, thank you for your affirmation. It's just that, tonight, my father..."

"Sigh, there's nothing embarrassing to say; he insists on introducing me to a blind date. It's the son of the Deputy Director of our city's Public Security Bureau."

"He just happened to say he wanted to invite our family to dinner tonight. So..."

Zhou Wanqing muttered to herself, why is it this topic again? Do all women nowadays have to go through this step?

Seeing that the girl she liked so much was in a difficult spot, she asked: "Your father, is he the Dean of the Political Science and Law Department at Qianjiang University?"

Su Yao nodded.

Zhou Wanqing thought for a moment. Putting aside whether she shipped Su Yao and Su Nange as a couple, she respected the fact that this was Su Yao's own choice.

But upon hearing about the interference from Su Yaos Parents, Zhou Wanqing, thinking of her own situation, felt a sense of empathy along with some anger.

"Little Su, how about I give your father a call?"

Su Yao was surprised that Zhou Wanqing would help her so much! She couldn't help but like this cold-on-the-outside, warm-on-the-inside big sister more and more.

She hurriedly shook her head: "I really can't trouble you, Director Zhou. Please don't call my father. It's not for any other reason, but my father is currently worrying about being promoted to vice principal!"

Zhou Wanqing's bright eyes lit up a little. This innocent little girl actually knew everything in her heart?

She really hadn't doted on her in vain.

What Su Yao meant was that she was afraid that if Zhou Wanqing called, her father would seize the opportunity to climb up to a powerful connection.

This would instead make things even more difficult for Zhou Wanqing later.

Zhou Wanqing smiled and sighed: "Sigh, our Su Yao is such a sensible girl. Let's do this: work is work, and life is life."

"Since we're talking about personal life, let me speak to you as an older sister. I want to tell you that I support your own choice."

"In the future, if you have any troubles in your life, just come to me and talk about them. It's okay, it won't be a bother."

Su Yao said happily: "Thank you, Sister Wanqing!"

Zhou Wanqing nodded: "Alright, go ahead and get back to work."

Su Nange carefully checked the bid document he had already written one more time, and there were basically no major issues.

According to the requirements of the bidding documents, with so many service recognition letters from the City Investment Company, both the objective and subjective scores shouldn't be low.

Everything was ready, except for the east wind. Anyway, he had made all the efforts he was supposed to. Even if he didn't win in the end, he wouldn't regret it.

But Su Nange wouldn't ask Zhou Wanqing or Su Yao for help. Everyone has a stubborn streak, after all.

Near the end of work, Liu Yuan suddenly sent a message. She said she was giving herself a break tonight because she had a business dinner to attend.

Next time they had a lesson, she would settle the score with him!

Su Nange found it funny; this sister's mouth was always so tough.

That was fine too; he would go back to playing games and practicing his marksmanship. He was getting more and more familiar with the heist missions and should challenge himself with a new difficulty level.

On the other side, it seemed like everyone had many dinner plans today.

In the afternoon, Ye Tingting also received an invitation from Li Runfa.

Ye Tingting had a headache. She really couldn't think of any reason to refuse anymore.

And her bank president, greedy as ever, kept encouraging her to constantly ask Li Runfa for more business!

She was even asked to go and ask Li Runfa if he needed a loan.

Because banks are like this; their balance sheets are inverted. Deposits are actually liabilities, while loans are the bank's assets.

Currently, the deposits from Li Runfa and Su Nange in Ye Tingting's hands were already very high, but this also directly led to an even larger gap in their branch's loan-to-deposit ratio.

Ye Tingting really regretted it now; why did she enter this industry? No matter how hard she worked, it seemed like there was no end in sight.

Even if she became the bank president, so what? Did people really think a bank president was relaxed and had no pressure? On the contrary, as a bank president, there were even more troublesome things.

Ye Tingting had been in a terrible mood for the past two days. Her father had called from home, saying her younger brother had just started university this year and wanted to buy this and that.

He said all his classmates were using the Apple three-piece set, and he wanted to have them too. He hoped his older sister could support him a bit.

Ye Tingting found it annoying just listening to it; when she was in school, why didn't anyone at home care about whether she was doing well?

Ye Tingting couldn't help but take out her phone to look at it. This old Apple phone was bought for her by Su Nange, who had earned the money by selling phone cards.

Just as she was spacing out, the car of Li Runfa's driver had already pulled up at the entrance of the branch.

The other women at the bank started their snide remarks again: "Oh, look, the big boss is here to pick up our Tingting again."

"It's so good to be pretty!"

"What, are you unconvinced? If you had those long legs, you'd have a boss keeping you too!"

"Exactly, in the same skirt, Tingting always looks like it's a bit short, but look at your elephant legs. Haha."

"So what if my legs are thick? At least I don't wrap my legs around someone's waist to climb up the ladder!"

"Even if you wanted to wrap, the boss's waist couldn't take it!"

"Hahahaha~~"

Listening to her colleagues' sarcasm, Ye Tingting shook her head helplessly and walked out.
