Chapter 372: Going Home for the New Year!

"That's not very good!" Hou Siting said in a cruel tone, "You can study in the dorm too!"

"I think the atmosphere in the library would be better!"

"I'm not the one taking the top-up degree exam!"

"How about you watch shows next to me while I read?"

Cheng Jiayi decided to cling to Hou Siting; she was only close with her.

If Hou Siting rejected her, who else could she turn to?

"..."

The praise from the counselor, Mi Wei, continued. Nowadays, Yanhu Vocational School truly had performance quotas for praising students.

Even if grades didn't improve, they had to find any possible angle to offer praise!

If the overall grades weren't good, then praise individual subject grades!

If grades in all subjects were poor, then praise their effort, personality, or special talents...

As long as they were human, everyone had some strengths, more or less.

These counselors had all undergone professional training!

Of course, criticisms were still handed out when necessary!

However, because these counselors communicated with the students frequently, even the more restless ones gradually became more obedient—at least they would give the counselor some face.

They were also gradually figuring out the personality traits of many students!

Mainly, it was because these counselors now had the 'leisure' time for it!

As for the inspection materials the school needed to prepare, the school had hired dedicated people to handle that.

Mi Wei had also seen the inspection materials prepared by those new employees.

Compared to what they used to do, it was very superficial, or rather, simplified!

The items and materials required by the official documents were indeed present...

But it felt very perfunctory, a bit like they were just doing the bare minimum!

Vice Principal Xu's current attitude was that as long as these inspection materials could pass, it was fine...

Mi Wei found it a bit amusing, but also felt it wasn't a bad thing!

In the following period, Su Yang's various companies began making arrangements for the Lunar New Year.

Most of Su Yang's employees still had to remain at their posts during the New Year.

However, the appropriate time off and triple pay were definitely issued according to regulations.

As the New Year holiday approached, Su Yang used Tian Hanxiong's connections to invite several of his superior leaders to dinner.

Accompanying Su Yang were Jiang Yuzhen, Yu Chengjun, and Chen Tianxing.

As well as two senior executives from Jufan Holdings, Dong Zengjie and Guo Xueqin!

Dong Zengjie and Guo Xueqin were quite eloquent.

Although Jiang Yuzhen wasn't good at social drinking, she could say a few things to liven up the atmosphere.

But Yu Chengjun was the one who was truly capable.

She was beautiful, had a generous personality, spoke pleasantly, and had a high tolerance for alcohol. Tian Hanxiong watched his own leaders drink glass after glass... Occasionally, when Yu Chengjun called him 'Brother Tian' and wanted to toast him, he had no choice but to comply.

But when faced with such a beautiful girl, no one could truly get angry!

Su Yang was indeed quite averse to drinking culture, but the older generation preferred this style of socializing.

With Su Yang's current capabilities, it was impossible for him to overturn this trend!

Su Yang also chatted with several bank managers, moving from the industries he was involved in to real estate, and then to the current domestic and international economic situations.

He was actually quite relaxed, his tone neither humble nor arrogant, just like chatting with friends!

Su Yang certainly had the strength to speak on equal terms with Tian Hanxiong's leaders.

And the fact that Tian Hanxiong's superiors were willing to accept Su Yang's invitation meant they naturally placed importance on Jufan Holdings and Su Yang himself!

Tian Hanxiong's superiors almost unanimously agreed that Su Yang was a young businessman with immense potential!

After all, he was developing too quickly and was so young... Youth was capital!

They also needed to build up their own networks!

Gradually, the conversation opened up.

They talked about the current state of various industries, tourism, fishing, fitness and health, and when they got to the conflict between 'Little Mao' and 'Big Mao' abroad, Tian Hanxiong and Dong Zengjie finally couldn't help but chime in...

There were some things they just had to say!

When the topic turned to the Middle East, Chen Tianxing, emboldened by a bit of alcohol, daringly joined in!

He was interested in this topic too!

In the end, only Guo Xueqin, Jiang Yuzhen, and Yu Chengjun were left staring at each other...

They drank until midnight and the food had been reheated twice. Once everyone had enjoyed themselves, Su Yang finally saw them to their cars...

Almost as soon as they got into their cars, Tian Hanxiong's tipsy superiors gradually came to their senses. Today's chat had been quite enjoyable... but it seemed they hadn't discussed any official business!

Didn't he want to apply for a mortgage loan?

How come not a single word was mentioned about the loan?

They called each other and finally confirmed that President Su indeed hadn't brought it up!

Did he forget?

They felt that was impossible!

What boss would specifically invite them to dinner and then forget a matter involving a hundred-million-yuan loan?

Furthermore, that President Su seemed to have a very high alcohol tolerance; despite drinking so much with them, his expression hadn't changed much.

Emmm... it was a bit hard to fathom!

The next day, the vice president of the bank called Tian Hanxiong into his office.

After the vice president beat around the bush for a long time, Tian Hanxiong finally asked directly, "Boss, you're not trying to ask why President Su didn't mention the loan yesterday, are you?"

"That's roughly it!"

"I thought about this for a long time after I got back, and I think I understand now!"

"How so?"

"President Su told me last time that if I really can't get the loan processed, then forget it..."

The vice president asked in confusion, "Hmm? What does he mean by that?"

"He said he could find another bank to do it!"

"Uh... alright then!"

He remembered now; they weren't the only bank in the country!

If their bank was timid, there would be banks that were bold.

"With President Su's collateral and his companies' profitability, he'd be welcomed at any bank. The credit of the companies under him is very good," Tian Hanxiong said in a low voice. "Besides, several of President Su's companies are making money, and he's only taking a loan because he wants to expand. In this current economic environment, there really aren't many companies doing better and better. His ability is beyond question!"

"Alright! This President Su is indeed very capable!"

In fact, after chatting with Su Yang for a while last night, Su Yang had left a very deep impression on this vice president!

He felt this young man was not simple; he spoke with confidence, had a steady temperament, and was trustworthy.

He was nothing like the other youngsters he had seen.

And Su Yang's indifferent attitude actually raised his evaluation of him!

The less Su Yang seemed to care, the more the vice president wanted to lend to him.

This proved that Su Yang wasn't desperately short of funds!

He was only afraid of those companies that came crying, shouting, and kneeling to beg for a bank loan to save their lives!

The truth was indeed as Tian Hanxiong said: Su Yang wasn't actually that short of funds!

For him, if he had money, he had a way to spend it.

If he didn't have money, he could just tighten his belt a little; it would only be a matter of a month... lend it or not, it didn't matter!

If this bank didn't lend, he could ask another!

Soon, it was 3:00 PM on the last working day before the New Year.

Su Yang first said his goodbyes to the other women on wechat, then bid farewell to the company employees before driving his U8 out of the company.

The maybach was a bit too high-profile!

It wasn't off-work time yet, so his cousin was still hunkered down at the company, saying he would wait until after work to leave because he didn't want to take leave!

He Zhiheng wasn't taking Su Yang's car home this time either, because he had already bought a car himself.

Su Yang drove around to the apartment building where Chen Li was renting. Soon, Chen Li came down carrying many bags!

Su Yang helped her open the trunk. "Is it necessary to bring so much stuff back?"

"Of course it is!" Chen Li said with a smile after stuffing the boxes into the trunk. "Didn't I ask you last time what your parents like? I've already bought gifts for them!"

"Let me go prepare what your parents like too," Su Yang said with a smile. "We still have a whole afternoon to get ready!"

He had left the company early precisely because he wanted to prepare gifts for Chen Li's parents!

To his surprise, Chen Li laughed and said, "No need, I've already prepared the gifts for my parents. When the time comes, you can just say you bought them!"
