"Lin Qiang, regardless of other matters, your attitude is indeed problematic," Zhu Fengshan said, trying to calm down. "For a bank employee, the most basic requirement is respect."
Lin Qiang remained noncommittal.
"Fine, if you disagree with what I'm saying, then please clarify," Zhu Fengshan waved his hand weakly, wanting to end this farce quickly. "Lin Qiang, all the branch leadership and outlet leaders are here. Don't waste everyone's time."
"Of course," Lin Qiang stood up quietly, looked around, and suddenly raised his voice, speaking with excitement, "This month, I achieved 100 million, and there will soon be a vacancy for an outlet manager position!"
Boom!
The room erupted into chaos.
Zhu Fengshan, unable to contain himself any longer, pointed at the projector behind him and scolded, "The data is right there in black and white. Have you gone mad?"
"The data you see is only for the Dongjiao Branch," Lin Qiang signaled to Zheng Shuai with his eyes.
Zheng Shuai grinned and once again went to the secretary's computer, pulling up another document.
Contract after contract appeared on the screen. Everyone stared at the large display, their expressions changing from doubt and confusion to surprise and shock, until they could no longer control their emotions and let out instinctive gasps.
Lin Qiang followed along with the contracts on the screen, introducing each one:
"Fund sales — 9.2 million yuan."
"Fund sales — 7.25 million yuan."
"Fund sales — 5.2 million yuan."
"Fund sales (Equity) — valued at 78 million yuan by authoritative departments."
"Four sales contracts, totaling 99.65 million yuan. Adding the outlet's sales performance, it comes to 141.2 million yuan. Not only did we complete 100 million, but we significantly exceeded it."
Everyone in the room stared at the screen, dumbfounded.
All eyes then turned to Zhu Fengshan.
Zhu Fengshan's face twitched as he turned and questioned, "Where were these contracts signed? Without going through the branch, they don't count! Lin Qiang, have you gone so far as to forge contracts?!"
"Please look carefully at the signatures below, Manager," Lin Qiang said impatiently, waving his laser pointer.
Everyone looked at the signatures and gasped again.
Jijing Office — Private Banking Center!
Bank Representative — Lin Qiang!
"This... this is from the regional office..." Zhu Fengshan felt a chill, breaking out in a cold sweat, feeling as if he had suddenly awakened.
When had Lin Qiang become this powerful?
Lin Qiang smirked, "Yes, this business was completed directly at the regional office. Of course, our branch wouldn't have it on record."
"Wait... Little Tang, help me confirm this," Zhu Fengshan waved tremblingly at his secretary. "How could I not know about such a big deal..."
The secretary quickly made a phone call.
Lin Qiang continued to smirk, "For ultra-high-net-worth clients with nearly 100 million in assets, their privacy is paramount. The regional office is under no obligation to notify you!"
Two minutes later, the female secretary hung up the phone and nodded gravely at Zhu Fengshan.
"Huh..." Zhu Fengshan slumped in his chair.
Hao Wei's reaction was almost identical.
On the other side, the Longyuan team erupted in excitement!
"He did it?!!" Xiao Xiao stared with wide eyes, bewildered. "He really did it?!!"
"Yes, we did it, with plenty to spare," Lin Qiang bowed deeply to his subordinates. "Thank you all for your trust in me. Thank you all for your continued hard work."
"My God... 100 million..." Lin Xiaozhao's eyes glistened with tears as she exclaimed, "Manager, is this what you've been doing at the regional office all these days you were away?"
"Yes, asset evaluation, liquidation, negotiations with the regional office. It was exhausting," Lin Qiang turned to the shocked Chen Liang and said, "By the way, I've also explained the reason for my field work these days. If you plan to continue tattling, feel free."
"..."
"Wait... this equity valuation might be inflated," Hao Wei, at his wit's end, stood up trembling and addressed everyone present. "Equity... everyone knows how that works, right?"
"Sit down," Zhu Fengshan had gradually composed himself. "I just checked. The equity was evaluated by the head office's finance department. There's no issue."
This statement destroyed Hao Wei's last hope.
Thud.
He fell back into his chair, completely lost.
"Alright..." Zhu Fengshan took a deep breath. He was well aware of the head office's rigorous style. With this evaluation, the sales performance was now set in stone. There was no point in arguing further. He stared at Lin Qiang and congratulated him weakly, "Congratulations, Lin Qiang. You've achieved... a miracle for United Bank."
Boom!!!!
The Longyuan team jumped up, crying tears of joy!!!
Zheng Shuai rushed back to his team, and they all hugged each other.
"Lin Qiang!! Lin Qiang!! Lin Qiang!!"
The outlet team shouted their manager's name at the top of their lungs, disregarding the presence of other leaders.
The other managers present, besides being shocked, were mostly envious.
What had he done to earn such loyal subordinates? In dire straits, these people actually stood by him? Why had only two people chosen Hao Wei?
At this moment, only two people sat quietly in their chairs: Zhang Jiaming looked wooden, like a pig waiting for slaughter, while Chen Liang was more anxious and uneasy, as if sitting on pins and needles.
"Quiet, quiet," Zhu Fengshan's face had turned purple. The main purpose of having the entire Longyuan team attend was to make an example of them and completely suppress the unrest brought by Lin Qiang. He never expected it would give them a chance to celebrate here instead.
After stopping their celebration, he said weakly, "One hundred million in sales, means promotion — this is a rule set by the President of the Head Office himself. The Dongjiao Branch will certainly comply. There will be personnel changes in the bank soon. If a outlet manager position becomes vacant..."
"One moment!"
Lin Qiang spoke up again, once more saying "One moment."
Everyone present was shocked once more.
Was this guy trying to interfere with the branch's internal affairs, taking advantage of this opportunity?
This was absolutely crossing the line.
No matter how strong your position, you shouldn't do this.
"Lin Qiang... mind your words and actions," Zhu Fengshan's face was twisted. "There's no outlet manager vacancy right now. Are you asking me to create one for you on the spot?!"
"No need to trouble yourself, Manager. As I said earlier, we've achieved 100 million in sales, and there will soon be a vacancy for the outlet manager position!" Lin Qiang turned slightly, looking at Hao Wei at the right moment. "Manager Hao, don't you have something to confess?"
"???" Hao Wei slowly turned his head, furious beyond words, and blurted out, "Are you sick?"
"Lin Qiang, that's enough!" Zhu Fengshan shouted angrily. "Are you trying to force out a leader? Even if you've achieved 100 million, you don't have that authority!"
"This has nothing to do with the 100 million," Lin Qiang shook his head quietly and once again signaled to Zheng Shuai.
Zheng Shuai sat at the secretary's desk once more and pulled up a third document.
