Rise From the Humble

Among the people present, the one who had the biggest reaction was Secretary Liu.

Secretary Liu was eating seabass at the time. When he first heard that Zhu Ping'an had arrived outside the Taicang Bank, Secretary Liu was shocked. A fish bone stuck in his throat. He coughed with a red face and almost shed tears.

"Although it's a bit unexpected, Secretary Liu, you also reacted too much, right?"

"Hehehe, he is just a young boy. What is there to worry about? Mr. Liu, you are too..."

After being surprised just now, everyone here became calm and even vaguely happy. I was originally worried about how to coax Zhu Ping'an to come and go through the procedures. Now that someone has arrived at the door, isn't it possible that he just dozed off and met him? I'm so happy to give you a pillow.

Seeing Secretary Liu like this, everyone couldn't help but laugh and tease him.

"I was stuck on a fishbone."

Secretary Liu couldn't help but blush and explained to everyone. Of course, the response to him was another burst of good-natured laughter from everyone.

After this interruption, the atmosphere in the room returned to a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere. Zhu Ping'an's arrival seemed like a drop of water falling into the sea. Apart from the little ripples at the beginning, there was no other impact. .

However, no matter how much everyone despised Zhu Pingan in their hearts, after all, Zhu Pingan represented the Taicang Bank Inspection Team and came to inspect the Taicang Bank according to the Holy Spirit's decree. The work in front of everyone still had to be done.

"I think you've all finished eating. Now that the inspector is here, we can't be rude."

Zhang Guanku smiled, put down his chopsticks, stood up and said to everyone.

"Of course, of course." Everyone responded with a smile, stood up together, and followed Zhang Guanku out of the door.

Everyone did not take it seriously at all when Zhu Pingan arrived unexpectedly. In their view, Zhu Pingan was just a newborn calf.

A newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. It will go to the tiger mountain knowing that there are tigers in the mountain. Courage is commendable, but there is only one result, that is, the tiger can have a full meal again. However, no matter how courageous your calf is, it will still end up with eggs.

The sun is scorching like a fire.

Outside Taicang Gate, a young man wearing a blue official uniform stood upright in the sun, looking at the Taicang Bank in front of him. The sweat on his body had soaked his official uniform, and sweat dripped down his forehead from time to time.

However, the young man's expression remained as usual, as if he was enjoying the sunshine somewhere.

Well, this person is Zhu Pingan.

Under the scorching sun, Zhu Pingan waited in the Taicang Bank for about half an hour before he saw a group of officials arriving belatedly inside the Taicang Bank.

The leader was an official wearing a scarlet-colored official uniform and a peacock-simple uniform. He was about forty or fifty years old. He had an elegant aura and looked like a great Confucian.

There were more than a dozen officials following him. Judging from the official uniforms, it seemed that many of them had higher official positions than Zhu Pingan.

This should be the management of Taicang Bank. The official in the scarlet official uniform at the head should be Mr. Zhang, the manager of Taicang Bank.

After Zhu Ping'an received the errand to inspect Taicang Bank, he learned about Taicang Bank and knew the official structure of Taicang Bank. It was just that the names did not match the people. Fortunately, in ancient times, the hierarchy was strict, and the entire Taicang Bank was qualified. Wearing a scarlet official uniform and walking at the front, it could only be Mr. Zhang Guanku.

Zhu Pingan saw this group of officials, and this group of officials naturally also saw Zhu Pingan. It took them half an hour to stroll to the gate. They saw Zhu Pingan standing outside the gate under the scorching sun, sweating profusely, and more than silver. The guard dog that sticks out its tongue is even more embarrassed, just like a drowned dog.

For safety reasons, all the trees within a one-mile radius of the Taicang Bank were cut down to prevent people from hiding or climbing into the bank through trees, and to avoid fire and other hidden dangers. Therefore, there was no shade at all outside the Taicang gate.

Seeing Zhu Pingan who was like a drowned dog, the officials of Taicang Bank and his entourage could not help but despise Zhu Pingan even more.

"I, Zhu Ping'an, have met Mr. Zhang and all of you. Ping An has come uninvited and bothered all of you to come and greet me. Ping'an is really ashamed."

Seeing the Taicang officials approaching from a distance, Zhu Ping'an quickly stepped forward to greet everyone with a smile on his face and a respectful gesture. He did not feel dissatisfied at all for waiting for half an hour under the scorching sun.

"Where is it? Mr. Zhu is coming to Taicang. We have been waiting for you for a long time. Please forgive me..." The leader, Zhang Kuguan, smiled and stepped forward to return the courtesy, his eyes scanning Zhu Ping'an without leaving a trace.

"That's right, I've troubled Mr. Zhu to wait for so long. I really can't wait any longer. I hope Mr. Zhu will take care of you." Jia Xu, the doctor, also stepped forward and cupped his hands.

"God is so merciless. Mr. Zhu must be too hot outside. Please come into Taicang quickly."

"Master Zhu, please come in quickly."

The rest of the Taicang officials also welcomed him warmly. Even if the weather was scorching hot, it seemed that they could not match the enthusiasm of the Taicang officials.

"What the hell, it's Ping An who came uninvited and caused trouble for you all." Zhu Pingan touched his head in embarrassment and lowered his posture.

"No way, we can't wait for Mr. Zhu's arrival." The Taicang officials said politely, and they were telling the truth. They really couldn't ask for Mr. Zhu Ping'an to come. To inspect Taicang's bank, there would be no one from the inspection team. How can it be done?

For a while, the guests and hosts were enjoying themselves, and there was a harmonious and enthusiastic scene outside Taicang Gate.

However, everyone has their own concerns.

The smell of abalone, such a strong aroma of wine, as well as shark's fin and deer breast. Well, the taste of this person seems to be like the bear paw that I was lucky enough to taste once in Yange's hometown last time.

When Zhu Pingan came forward to greet everyone, he moved his nose slightly and smelled a strong smell of corruption from the group of people. The bear paws alone were beyond the scope of their salary. Zhu Pingan knew this and looked pale. Change.

While Zhu Pingan's heart was in turmoil, Taicang officials also had a better understanding of Zhu Pingan.

When he first arrived at the door, Zhu Ping'an's appearance was like a drowned dog, which already made everyone look down upon him.

now

Zhu Pingan was so respectful to everyone, spoke so humbly, looked like a junior, and completely looked like a rookie in officialdom, which made everyone laugh secretly, feeling that this year's Taicang bank inspection should not be easier.

Dough-like rookie.

Wouldn't it be allowed to be kneaded by us?

Are you still checking the bank like this? Even if there are a hundred Zhu Ping'an like this, it won't be enough for us to handle alone.

"We are just talking and forgetting that Mr. Zhu has been waiting outside for a long time. It is really a sin. Mr. Zhu is here to invite you. Mr. Zhang has just ordered Chef Ding to prepare wine and small dishes to meet Mr. Zhu."

After chatting for a moment, the doctor Jia Xu seemed to suddenly remember, smiled and apologized to Zhu Pingan, and then extended his hand to ask Zhu Pingan to enter the warehouse.

"Master Zhang, please."

"Master Zhu, please."

"please."

"please."

After mutual courtesy, Zhu Pingan followed Zhang Guanku and others into the Taicang Bank.
