Lin Qiang said silently. He put down his chopsticks and breathed a sigh of relief, leaned his head back on the back of the chair.

"It's three years for me, fifteen years for you, it's just... over?"

"The flowers bloom again, and no one will be young anymore." Qiu Zhizhang sighed quietly, "Lin Qiang, time passes too fast, really too fast. When people get old, they may not remember what happened yesterday, but what happened decades ago is vivid in my mind. In my most confused era, I was fortunate to meet an old man. It was a real old man. It was not that he was too old, but that his experience was even more legendary than legends, and his achievements were even greater than great."

"He pointed out the direction for me, the direction for the next few decades." Although Qiu Zhichang stared at the ceiling, a hint of spirit gradually flashed in his eyes, which was difficult to see in the old man's pupils. "Lin Qiang, do you believe that in the 1970s, the old man had seen today. He saw the economic takeoff and corruption. He saw the rampant US imperialism day by day, and also saw the inevitable decline of Japan."

Lin Qiang could not guess who this god was. Could it be that he had been tempted by money for decades?

If Qiu Zhizhang knew his thoughts, he would definitely spit out a mouthful of old blood, but he just said to himself:

"I have always been very clear that I am not a suitable leader because I cannot see far. For me, it is a wonderful thing to pave the way for the younger generations. After the establishment of the United Bank, I have never pointed out any direction, but let young people shine in this free environment, and young people explore and explore with a keener perspective and newer concepts. When I retired, I proudly thought that this system had been formed, and generations of young people will reasonably dominate everything, and it doesn't matter if they make small mistakes. In a free environment, even better people will soon jump out to correct them."

"But it's obvious. I'm wrong."

"I mistakenly thought that people's public morality would always be maintained, and their social responsibility would always be beating." Qiu Zhizhang shook his head and sighed, "This is the excellent thing about the old man. He knew that too fast economic development would cause a series of problems, so he always had a nerve to focus on some things and always had a set of methods to target some people. But I left nothing."

"In the end, generation after generation, Xing Li stood on the commanding heights, and the system I created completely failed. All I could do was come back and do my last little effort to prevent the place from collapse."

"Old Qiu..." Lin Qiang looked at the sad Qiu Zhizhang and choked up a little, "This is not your problem, that senior said, this is bound to happen."

"Haha, it doesn't matter whether it's important." Qiu Zhizhang smiled freely and casually, "In the end, the old man gave the most perfect answer to the motherland. And I'm afraid I'll have only a blank paper."

"It's not a blank book, you left Union Bank."

"I haven't understood Lin Qiang yet." Qiu Zhizhang said sadly, "United Bank is the one I have always protected. Xing Li told me that he has gone wrong and it's time to go home."

"Go home... go home..." Lin Qiang's scalp was numb, "Will you go home?"

"There is no choice. I can't go home anymore. I'm old and can't protect me anymore." Qiu Zhizhang slowly closed his eyes. In his old eyes, there might be a kind of regret that would stay forever. "Huang Guangyao is right. He shouldn't continue to stay here. Lin Qiang. The world is very big, and you should leave."

"..." A stream of tears rolled in Lin Qiang's eyes.

This is unwillingness and indifference, and even more helplessness and helplessness.

When I first entered the bank, I didn’t know what the industry looked like. I didn’t know what the world looked like. I was just stumbled with passion. If I hadn’t been a good leader like Liang Mufeng, I wouldn’t have been so smooth. Looking back now, in the years, in the constant exchanges and debates with Qiu Zhizhang, my worldview and values ​​were gradually growing and forming. Qiu Zhizhang’s inadvertent words had awakened himself countless times to illuminate the way forward.

This is why I chose him without hesitation at that time.

But no one can walk the way for Qiu Zhichang. He is so old that he even staggers when walking.

"This... take it." Qiu Zhizhang got up and went to the cabinet, found a small envelope, walked slowly to Lin Qiang, and pressed the envelope into his hands. "If you encounter a great disaster in the future, find the person above. I have offended many people in my life and helped many people. Although my children have gone far away, there are still some people in the system that can be regarded as sons."

"..." Lin Qiang didn't know what to express.

"Haha, don't be sad." Qiu Zhizhang didn't know that there were tears in the corners of his eyes. He just smiled and patted Lin Qiang, "The future is yours, don't imprison yourself in stagnant water."

"Old Qiu." Lin Qiang wiped his eyes and stood up and said, "We can still try hard, there is still a chance and time..."

"The flowers will bloom again, and there will be no more youth." Qiu Zhizhang sighed and expressed the same feeling again, "You go, your future is not here. I will do my best to let you take your Longyuan with you."

Lin Qiang wanted to say something else, but Qiu Zhizhang just sat back on the chair, covered his head, and stopped talking.

Lin Qiang lowered his head and grabbed the envelope and walked to the door step by step.

Finally, he took a deep breath and turned around suddenly. His voice was not loud, but he was very excited.

"I understand, it's not necessarily United Bank. I'll do it for you."

Qiu Zhizhang finally showed a relieved smile.

"You really understand, that's enough."

Lin Qiang bowed deeply in the room, rubbed his eyes hard with his sleeves, and then walked away with great strides.

In the room, as Lin Qiang closed the door, Qiu Zhizhang's last breath was forever released.

He lowered his head slightly, and was crying in tears like an old man who had lost something.

What he handed in was not a blank book.

...

Lin Qiang drove on the street, not confused about the future, and was even very sober, and never felt more sober than now. The story of United Bank is over. There is no winner in this story. Chen Xingyuan lost, and Qiu Zhizhang lost. They were either scheming or enlightened or avant-garde. They were both virtuous and talented, and they also had firm beliefs, but they lost in the end.

Why lose?

The two old men sighed one after another to wake Lin Qiang up.

The irony is that a certain sentence that fulfills can now explain everything-

"Just just a worker!!"

...

Great Wall Group, board of directors resolution.

The discussion this time is about the issue of the equity sale of Jijing Bank. Cheng Qiang died and Cheng Xuan was eliminated. Now Great Wall Group is on the verge of life and death. Cheng Qiang invested almost all his assets for Jijing Bank before his death. He firmly believed that this was a business that would make a profit and not lose money. But at this time, the emperor was no longer surrounded by enemies. Due to the influence of several adverse events, Jijing Bank's embarrassing situation was difficult to deal with. Either invest more money to restore his image, expand his business network, or reluctantly give up.

At this moment, no one has any radical ideas. The directors just want to return to the industry they are most familiar with and do real estate honestly, far away from the black hole that makes money. After all, they are real estate merchants and do not understand banks.

At the meeting, Chen Xingyuan made a generous speech and expressed many benefits taken over by the municipal party committee. Since he had already done private work, the directors present nodded. After all, this is a "family" transaction. They only own a small part of the equity. Compared with radical reinvestment, they prefer to be safer, so that they can at least enjoy their lives in Great Wall Group.

After Chen Xingyuan finished his speech, the secretary of the board of directors began to advance the agenda.

"Then, please vote on the "Sales of Equity of Jijing Bank"." The secretary of the board of directors looked at the oldest director.

"agree."

"agree."

“Abstain.”

"agree."

...

After counting the votes, the secretary announced with the result: "After the vote of the board of directors, 12 votes in favor, two votes against, and 5 abstentions, the resolution was passed."

The scene was silent and everyone was not looking at each other.

The secretary coughed: "Then... the board office will draft relevant documents and send them to Tong... Miss Tong to sign."

Several directors smiled disdainfully, as there was no tiger in the mountains. The result of so many prominent figures present discussing, and a certain actor nodded in agreement. It was funny.

At this moment, a panic sound came from outside the door.

"Ms. Tong...Ms. Tong is holding a board meeting now, you are not a member of the board."

The door opened, and Tong Feifei slowly stepped in and scanned the audience.

Even though she is already a expectant mother, her figure is only a little fatter. At this time, under the touch of the black formal attire, she does not leave her style at all, but shows a rare strength.

"Miss Tong..." said the secretary in surprise, "You have no right to interfere with the board of directors. We will deliver the report to you after the meeting."

"My husband and father-in-law are not here, are you just treating Xingjia like this?" Tong Feifei smiled disdainfully, "I have already said publicly that I would not agree to the sale of the bank, so why should I hold a board meeting?"

"Ms. Tong, equity matters are very complicated. Please listen to our explanation before..."

"No need." Tong Feifei waved her hand and said, "No matter what, Chengjia owns 87% of the shares. Although I am self-aware and do not participate in the executives, it is really unbearable for you to sell assets behind my back."

"What are you?" a young director couldn't bear it anymore and stood up and cursed, "This is the board of directors, and you are not allowed to act wildly! If you want to act wildly, you will wait until the child is born!!"

At this moment, a side-parted man suddenly flashed out from behind—

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
