241: Chapter 241 Bank Door-to-Door Service, Qin Yi Connects His Brother

By 9:15, Qin Yi, Xu Qian, and Qin Xiaoyue had arrived at the Bund Center T3 Office Building.

At this moment, several interviewees who had made appointments with Qin Xiaoyue the previous night were already waiting outside the company.

"Sorry everyone, I hope you haven't been waiting too long." Qin Xiaoyue walked up quickly to swipe her access card, smiling apologetically. "The company hasn't officially opened yet, so there are some things that need to be prepared. Thank you for arriving early."

The group waved their hands, indicating they didn't mind.

Subsequently, the company door opened, and they all walked in together.

After entering, Qin Xiaoyue smiled and introduced everyone: "This handsome guy is the company's boss—Qin Yi, and this beautiful lady beside him is the company's General Manager CEO—Xu Qian. As for me, I'm just a handyman for now, moving wherever I'm needed. My name is Qin Xiaoyue, and welcome everyone to the interview."

"Hello Boss, hello General Manager..." The group greeted Qin Yi and Xu Qian with a ragged chorus of voices.

Qin Yi smiled at everyone and raised a hand, saying, "Since you're here, let's skip the formalities. Let's get through the interview process first; whether it works out or not, it's all fate." As he spoke, Qin Yi looked at Qin Xiaoyue and instructed, "Remember to prepare refreshments according to yesterday's standards later."

Hearing the boss say this, the slight annoyance the interviewees initially felt from waiting instantly vanished without a trace.

Afterward, Qin Yi continued, "Alright, you guys go ahead and prepare. I have some things to attend to, and I'll come back once I'm done with what's on my hands. You can start whenever you're ready; no need to wait for me."

Qin Xiaoyue made an OK gesture, and Xu Qian nodded as well. Then, the two of them began to arrange things for the upcoming interviews based on yesterday's experience, while Qin Yi turned and walked toward the largest office in the corner.

Having returned late last night, he still needed to consolidate the list of job openings he had promised to give his counselor, Li Xitong, today. Qin Yi took his laptop out of his bag, turned it on, and began to get busy.

Before long, the phone he had placed on the edge of the desk suddenly rang. Qin Yi glanced at the caller ID; it was President Xu. He pressed the speakerphone button and, while working on his laptop, said, "Hello, President Xu."

"Hey, Mr. Qin, I've arrived at the underground garage of the Bund Center T3 Office Building. Have you arrived at the company yet?" President Xu's voice came from the other end of the line.

"Yes, I just arrived as well." Qin Yi looked up toward the doorway. "President Xu, just come straight over; it's still the same office as yesterday."

"Alright, I'm coming up now." President Xu acknowledged and hung up the phone.

"Damn, so many things to do, I almost forgot about President Xu's business." Qin Yi muttered to himself, then hurried to log into his email and downloaded the electronic versions of the company registration documents that Wang Tengfei had sent him last night. He cross-referenced the list of Materials President Xu had sent him earlier, carefully checking through them to ensure nothing was missing.

Not long after, the office door was knocked on. Qin Yi looked up to see that it was indeed President Xu. Behind him followed two bank staff members in uniforms, looking very professional.

"Hey, President Xu, come in, come in." As he said this, Qin Yi stood up from behind his desk and reached out to invite the three of them to take a seat.

President Xu shook hands with Qin Yi and then introduced him, "Mr. Qin, these two are staff members from the Shanghai branch who handle corporate business. Today, they will be the ones to set up the corporate accounts for Mr. Qin's company."

"Oh, hello, thank you, thank you." Qin Yi smiled and thanked the two, while shaking hands with each of them in turn.

"Hello, Mr. Qin..." When the two arrived, they had already heard President Xu introduce Qin Yi's situation. Now that they saw how young Qin Yi was, they were even more shocked.

"Sit, sit, don't be formal." As he spoke, Qin Yi turned to the desk, took the laptop, placed it on the coffee table in front of the sofa, and then turned the screen toward the two, pointing to the two folders opened on the screen. "These are the Materials needed to set up the two corporate accounts. I have already organized them; take a look and see if anything is missing."

"Oh, oh, okay, thank you very much, Mr. Qin." One of them hurriedly replied politely.

"Haha, no need to be formal, I should be the one saying thank you." Qin Yi responded with a smile.

President Xu complimented him with a smile from the side, "Mr. Qin is truly meticulous; you've organized all the files by category, which saves us a lot of trouble."

"Hahaha, it's nothing. I should have gone to the bank counter to handle this myself. It's already quite embarrassing to trouble the bank staff to come here specially. It's only right that I prepare everything within my power in advance."

As Qin Yi and President Xu exchanged pleasantries, one of the staff members cleared his throat and looked up at Qin Yi. "Mr. Qin, we are still missing a property lease contract for the office location, or a certificate of site usage would also suffice."

Before Qin Yi could respond, President Xu explained with feigned annoyance, "Hey, this site belongs to Mr. Qin himself, why would he need a lease contract..."

"Uh... is that so? Then a property purchase contract will also work." The staff member added.

"Oh, speaking of which, I just remembered, Hongtian Group hasn't given me that property purchase contract yet. Wait a moment, let me make a call; it'll be quick." Qin Yi said, picking up his phone from the desk, searching through his contacts, and walking out of the office.

The moment Qin Yi stepped out of the office, President Xu gave the staff member a look and lowered his voice, saying, "What's wrong with you? Didn't I tell you when we were coming here to be flexible, be flexible? Don't get hung up on the rules and regulations; these Materials can be provided later..."

"Uh, President Xu, but this is indeed required..."

President Xu didn't want to hear what the staff member had to say. Seeing Qin Yi hanging up the phone and walking back, he immediately raised a hand to signal the staff member to stop talking.

After entering, Qin Yi smiled and explained, "Wait a moment, someone from Hongtian Group will be here shortly."

"Haha, no rush, Mr. Qin. Our task today is to serve Mr. Qin well." President Xu said politely.

At this time, the staff member to the side also chimed in quite cleverly, "It's fine, Mr. Qin. We can start the process first, and once the property purchase contract is delivered, we can just update it into the System later."

"Hmm, okay. Are you not comfortable here? Would you like to go to my desk to work?"

"No, no, Mr. Qin, you are too kind. We'll be fine in the office lobby outside." The two stood up with their bags and walked out of the office.

"Hmm, that's fine too. If you need anything, just let me know and I'll arrange it. There will be refreshments later, no rush, take a break if you're tired."

The two found seats in the lobby outside the office and began to set up the equipment they had brought: a laptop, a high-speed scanner, a camera...

Inside the office, Qin Yi looked at President Xu with a smile and asked, "President Xu, about the matter we discussed yesterday, is there any progress? Is the position of Vice President already in your pocket?"

"Hahaha," President Xu nodded with a smile, glanced at the two people outside the door, stood up, and gently closed the office door, whispering, "This is all thanks to Mr. Qin. If it weren't for Mr. Qin's support, my wish to transfer from Jingnan to Shanghai would have been nothing but a pipe dream."

"Haha, as long as I can help President Xu, that's great. We are all friends; saying thank you is just being too formal."

"Yes, rest assured, Mr. Qin. I am already pulling strings for the matter I promised you; it shouldn't be a problem. Coming here today is also to ask Mr. Qin for your brother's resume, to register it with the leadership first. Once I have secured the Vice President position, it will be easy to arrange for him to come in."

"Oh, look at me, I tend to forget things when there are too many tasks. Just a moment, let me call and ask." Qin Yi said, picking up his phone again, though this time he didn't avoid President Xu.

The phone rang four or five times before it was answered.

"Hello, Second Brother, it's me, Fourth Brother, Qin Yi." Qin Yi said with a smile into the phone.

"Fourth Brother! You finally remembered to call me! Wait a second, let me go out to talk, let me go out." Xu Chao suppressed his excitement and walked quickly out of the bank lobby, continuing, "Alright, I'm out of the bank now."

"Hmm, are you at work?" Qin Yi asked with a smile.

"Cough, just doing odd jobs in the lobby, helping customers with preliminary business, guiding old folks to fill out forms; it's very boring."

"Haha, right, Fatty contacted you yesterday, right?"

"He did, he did."

"Hmm, so what have you decided? Why not come back to Shanghai to develop? Wouldn't it be great for the four brothers to be together?"

"Sigh, it would be great, but Fourth Brother, you know, this current job was arranged by my dad through his connections. If I resign, my dad will definitely skin me alive."

"Haha, people should aim higher. It's just a bank job, I'll solve it for you. How about coming to the Shanghai branch of China Merchants Bank? It even comes with a permanent position, how about that?"

"Wait, Fourth Brother, you aren't joking with me, are you?"

"Haha, when have I ever joked with you guys about this? Just tell me if you're coming or not? If you're willing to come, the Vice President of the Shanghai branch is sitting right across from me. Are you coming or not? Give me a straight answer."

"I'm coming! If I didn't go for such a good opportunity, wouldn't I be a fool?"

"Haha, okay, then I'll give the phone to President Xu, and he can talk to you."

"Uh, okay, okay, okay."

Afterward, Qin Yi smiled and handed the phone to President Xu, then said, "President Xu, my brother here is also surnamed Xu, his name is Xu Chao. If you have anything to ask, you can ask him directly."

"Hey, okay," President Xu accepted it with a smile and then said, "Hey, hello Xu Chao, I am Xu Jiyou, the Vice President of the Shanghai branch of China Merchants Bank."

On the other end of the line, Xu Chao immediately responded with excitement, "Hello, hello, President Xu."

"Hmm, Mr. Qin has already told me about your situation. Here's what we'll do: add my WeChat, and later send me a copy of your resume; I will arrange it as soon as possible. Take note of my phone number..."

"Hmm, okay, President Xu, I've noted it down, I will send it to you shortly."

"Hmm, right, which bank are you working at now?"

"I am currently at the Huishang Bank Huainan Branch," Xu Chao said, his expression slightly embarrassed, "However, I am an off-contract employee..."

"Hmm, okay, do this: I will contact your bank president there later. Wait for my news, and once everything is confirmed on this side, then you go ahead and submit your resignation."

"Okay, thank you very much, President Xu."

"Haha, no need to be formal. That's all for now." President Xu said, returning the phone to Qin Yi.

After Qin Yi took it back, he spoke a few more words to Xu Chao before hanging up the phone.

At the same time, Wei Ming, the person in charge of the Bund Center project, also arrived with the property purchase contract.

...

At this moment, there were already many people waiting for interviews in the office lobby on the 13th floor. After making inquiries, they immediately walked quickly toward Qin Yi's office.

Upon reaching the door, Wei Ming raised his hand and knocked lightly. Qin Yi stood up, walked over, and pulled open the office door.

"Mr. Qin, I apologize for keeping you waiting." Wei Ming said apologetically, then handed the property purchase contract to Qin Yi. "This is the stamped property purchase contract. The property title deed is currently being processed with urgency, and the earliest we can get it is next Monday."

Qin Yi smiled and took it, nodding, "No rush. Manager Wei, come in and sit." As he spoke, he stepped aside to signal Wei Ming to enter.

"Hey, okay." Wei Ming replied and stepped inside.

President Xu smiled and took the initiative to reach out and shake hands with Wei Ming, introducing himself first, "Hello, I am Xu Jiyou, President of the China Merchants Bank Jingnan Branch."

"Oh, hello, hello. I am Wei Ming, the person in charge of the Bund Center project for Hongtian Group." Wei Ming said, taking a business card from his pocket and handing it to President Xu.

After delivering the property purchase contract to the two bank staff members, Qin Yi returned to the office. Seeing that the two of them were already chatting, he smiled and said, "You've already met, so there's no need for me to introduce you."

"Haha, no need, no need, we've already exchanged business cards." Wei Ming waved his hand with a smile.

"Hmm, that's good. Right, Manager Wei, I contacted the renovation company yesterday. They will arrange for the Materials and workers to enter today. If there is anything that needs to be coordinated, I would appreciate it if Manager Wei could arrange it. The construction period is quite tight, so I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Manager Wei for the next half month."

"Mr. Qin is too polite. I will handle the property management side, and I will definitely provide the necessary support. We will absolutely not hold up the renovation project."

"Hahaha, with Manager Wei's words, I can rest easy."

...

At the same time, Wang Tengfei and Xin Mingyuan also drove to the T3 Office Building.
