Chapter 303 [Wind Chaser 2]
In 1930, Wei Ruolai graduated from Shanghai Accounting School with great joy, but he encountered a bolt from the blue - because his ancestral home was in Ji'an, Jiangxi, he failed to get the coveted graduation certificate. This sudden change put him in a desperate situation, and he, who was originally full of hope for the future, suddenly became at a loss.
Without his education, Wei Ruolai ran into obstacles everywhere and could not find a stable job. The pressure of life forced him to lower his status and rely on odd jobs to earn a meager income to pay the rent and maintain basic livelihood. However, when will such days end?
Just when Wei Ruolai was feeling desperate, a piece of news came: Shen Tunan, the new senior advisor of the Central Bank, had arrived in Shanghai and planned to recruit a group of employees to work in the bank. This news was like a ray of light in the darkness, giving Wei Ruolai a glimmer of hope. He went to the registration office without hesitation, eager to seize this opportunity to change his destiny.
Although the road ahead is unknown, Wei Ruolai knows that this may be a turning point in his life. With a firm belief and expectations for the future, he bravely took this step. No matter what is waiting for him ahead, he decided to go all out and live up to his efforts and persistence.
When the competition was in full swing, something unexpected happened without warning - the bank suddenly caught fire! Thick smoke billowed and the fire spread rapidly.
The invigilator shouted anxiously: "Everyone, finish the test before leaving the examination room!" However, facing the sudden danger, everyone had only one thought in mind: saving their lives! So, the candidates fled the examination room in panic, fearing that they would lose their precious lives because of this exam.
At this moment, only Wei Ruolai and Youyou were left in the examination room. Thick smoke filled the air, making it suffocating. Wei Ruolai had no time to think about it, so he had no choice but to cover his mouth and nose with his clothes, trying to concentrate on answering the questions, as if he was in another world, not paying any attention to the chaos outside.
Seeing this, the invigilator anxiously urged Wei Ruolai to leave quickly, but Wei Ruolai firmly replied: "I will leave after I finish this paper." The invigilator had no choice but to turn around and persuade Youyou: "Little girl, how can you back down like this? Get out of the fire quickly!"
Youyou smiled slightly and said softly, "I have finished and can hand in the paper." After that, she stood up without hesitation and walked straight to the exit.
Seeing this, Wei Ruolai also quickened his pace to finish the last question, handed in the paper quickly, and rushed out.
After Youyou went out, he found the nearest route and escaped. After Wei Ruolai found the escape route, he returned and rescued everyone else.
Afterwards, Shen Tunan sat in a chair with a gloomy face, looking at the data report in front of him, his anger growing stronger. He stared at Manager Liu with wide eyes, his tone full of dissatisfaction and anger: "Manager Liu! So many people took the assessment, but only two passed? Are they all here to get by? After so much selection, only such a small number of people were selected. They are simply a bunch of trash! I'm afraid there are not many real talents in the whole of Shanghai!"
Facing Shen Tunan's rebuke, Manager Liu seemed a little helpless, but he still tried to remain calm and explained: "Sir, please calm down. The difficulty of this assessment is already very high, not to mention that the fire accident was deliberately created. It is rare for people to pass such a rigorous test. Having two people meet the standard is already a very good result."
After hearing what Manager Liu said, Shen Tunan's expression eased a little, but his brows were still furrowed. After a moment of silence, he suddenly said, "Well, in that case, I want to meet these two people in person. You go and make arrangements for them to come to me as soon as possible." After that, Shen Tunan picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.
Agent Liu nodded quickly and said, "Okay, sir, I'll notify them right away." Then he turned and left, and began to arrange a meeting with the two people who passed.
During the interview, Shen Tunan admired Wei Ruolai's talent and intelligence, which impressed Shen Tunan. But when he checked his ancestral home, Shen Tunan's secretary Huang Congyun reported a piece of news: Wei Ruolai's hometown was Ji'an, Jiangxi, which was where the Communists gathered.
Shen Tunan couldn't help but be a little afraid that Wei Ruolai was a Communist. If such a person was placed in the bank, it would be very dangerous if something happened. So Shen Tunan said directly to Wei Ruolai, "I'm sorry, you are not suitable for our central bank."
Wei Ruolai was extremely depressed, his face full of loneliness and reluctance. Just because he was from Ji'an, Jiangxi, he was rejected and rejected by everyone, which made him feel helpless and frustrated. At this moment, it seemed that he had no choice but to leave sadly.
After Wei Ruolai left and the tea was cold, Shen Tunan showed a look of regret and sighed softly, "This person is really a rare talent! It's a pity... If he was not born in Ji'an, Jiangxi, maybe he would have a chance to stay."
At this time, Liu, the agent at the side, interrupted and said, "You are right, but because of this, we must not let the central bank bear any potential risks or instability. After all, this is a matter of great importance and we cannot afford to make any mistakes."
Shen Tunan nodded slightly, indicating that he agreed with Agent Liu's point of view, and then murmured to himself: "Having said that, if he had enough chips in his hand, I might consider giving him a chance to step into the central bank. It's a pity, it's a matter of time and fate..." After saying that, he couldn't help but sigh again.
"Sir, there is another applicant waiting for the interview. Do you need to invite her in?" Huang Congyun asked softly.
"Well, please ask her to come in." Shen Tunan replied expressionlessly.
After a while, a young woman in a decent business suit walked into the room. She was tall and straight, and walked steadily. She stopped in front of the table and introduced herself with a smile: "Hello, my name is Song Youyou."
"Ms. Song, please take a seat." Shen Tunan nodded slightly, and then began to look at the applicant in front of him. She had a pretty face, elegant temperament, and a firm and confident look.
"Then, Miss Song, can you tell us why you chose our bank?" Shen Tunan picked up the water glass on the table, took a sip, and asked slowly.
"Well...it's mainly because my major is more suitable. I previously studied in Germany, majoring in finance. After returning to China, I naturally hope to find a job related to the knowledge I learned. I happened to hear that your bank is recruiting talents, so I came here to try my hand. After all, as a leader in the industry, the central bank is undoubtedly very attractive to a fledgling job seeker like me." Youyou answered sincerely.
"I see. However, as far as I know, competition in the financial field is quite fierce and there are many outstanding talents. So compared with other competitors, what advantages do you think you have?" Shen Tunan continued to ask, his eyes as sharp as an eagle.
