Chapter 91: You deserve a promotion
Translated by me, edited by drpetro.
It was a building completely covered in glass, to the point that everyone who saw it could not help but praise it.
The 6 big, grey letters of Industrial and Commercial Bank of China at the side of the building, took all the spotlight.
This was on Broad Prefecture Avenue, the location for Zhongyun’s Industrial and Commercial Bank of China’s main branch.
DouDou’s dad, Bai Chengan, entered the building every time with a hesitant heart.
He was only a nobody from Zhongyun’s 133 branch locations, who climbed up the corporate ladders from a front desk clerk to a client manger after possessing an overwhelming amount of qualifications.
Every year when it came to the end of the year performance meeting, Bai Chengan was always filed with the batch that were labeled to have poor workmanship, and received the smallest annual bonuses.
Having been criticized long enough, Bai Chengan had began to harbour an indescribable ‘respect’ towards this place.
Bai Chengan tried his best to come here. Today he forced himself to come and find his old branch manager, now public general manager Wang Zhen.
Because his baby girl told him that one of her friends wanted to buy the pressure press and electric furnace that he mentioned before.
Bai Chengan was almost scared shitless by his daughter’s speech.
That was a several floor tall pressure press, and a 50 ton electric furnace, added together, they were 20 plus million. They weren’t treadmills and gas powered stoves for the kitchen.
So was this buy all talk?
The public manager at headquarters had already examined the market for those 2 machines when that factory went bankrupt. Yet the result from that examination even had him shiver, the same machines put up for sale on the internet didn’t even have one potential buyer……
A savage situation like this had the manager straight up lose interest in putting them up on the internet.
Now a miracle, the buyer of those 2 super expensive pieces of equipment, wanted to see, inspect, discuss, and pay as soon as possible.
If the buyer was his own friend, then Bai Chengan would definitely head to the general manager, and sell him this giant favour.
But the problem now was this buyer was his baby girl’s friend, and furthermore, his baby girl DouDou was……
Opening and closing with Big brother Ye.
Holy shit, who’s this?
Bai Chengan, without getting clear answers, definitely will not have the end of it.
However when he actually got the answers, even more questions popped up.
From DouDou’s words, this friend was very young, very polite, very smart, very promising, very strong, had a very good demeanor……
Bai Chengan couldn’t hear any more of it. DouDou basically made him sound like those elegant main characters from those old novels, which don’t exist in real life at all.
Bai Chengan straight up asked what her relation with him was. Was he her boyfriend?
DouDou stutteringly said that they were just friends……
Or maybe besties!
Bai Chengan chose to believe his daughter’s response for the moment. She’s had 1 more year of university left before her graduation. Finding her love now, being her parent, he naturally need to support her 100%.
Hence on that point, there was no need for DouDou to lie to him.
Then if he was not her boyfriend……
Bai Chengan somewhat guessed DouDou’s thoughts, she admired this Big brother Ye a lot, and this Big brother Ye of hers, might actually possess some of those attributes.
It was just that the two have known each other for only a short period of time, hence they were only “friends” at the moment.
Bai Chengan suddenly felt some invisible pressure that was really big and heavy. That kind of feeling was just like having raised a treasured flower for 20 some years, then having it completely stolen by some complete idiot.
If it really got there, then Bai Chengan could only accept it.
Alright……
As soon as he got home after work last night, and DouDou asked if he knew anyone in the steel industry, Bai Chengan already had some ominous feeling.
