"Aren't we going to the bank?" Father Liu Dacheng looked at Liu Yifei and asked in confusion as he was led to a store next door.
"Dad, that guy is deliberately making things difficult for you. If you don't take a pack of cigarettes over, how can he happily sign and stamp for you?"
"I've done everything according to procedure, why do I still have to give him a gift?" Liu Dacheng's eyebrows furrowed instantly.
Liu Yifei secretly sighed in his heart, he naturally didn't want to do such things either. Obviously normal things, but had to be done through crooked means. However, that's just how society is, others held the real power, while they were at a disadvantage and could only compromise.
"Dad, a pack of cigarettes won't cost much money. If we drag it out for a few more days, I'm afraid those counters and stores will raise their prices again. Let's hurry up and get the loan done, that's the real deal."
Liu Dacheng was unhappy, but thinking that Liu Yifei also made sense, he went in and bought a Hongtashan.
"Dad, why did you buy this cigarette? Isn't there a better one?" Liu Yifei immediately furrowed his brow.
"Isn't this cigarette good enough? It's 90 yuan a pack, do I have to give you that several hundred yuan a pack cigarette?" Liu Dacheng was heartbroken, he usually smoked 20-odd yuan a pack, and 90-odd yuan a pack was the best cigarette for him.
Liu Yifei secretly shook his head, but it was also not good to persuade his father again. After all, with his father's straightforwardness, if he let him spend more money, he might get angry and refuse to send the gift.
Holding cigarettes, the two men once again entered the bank and went straight to the credit department.
In the credit department, there was only a man in his thirties, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, holding a cup of tea in one hand and looking at the newspaper on the table. He looked very relaxed. Liu Yifei and Liu Dacheng came in, this person raised his head to look at the two of them, frowned and said: "Didn't I tell you? The loan matter, go back and wait for notification."
Liu Yifei gave his father a look, and Liu Dacheng immediately walked to the man's desk, put the cigarette in front of him, and said with a smile: "Comrade, I bought you a cigarette, can you take a look at this matter and speed it up?"
That person was initially delighted, but upon seeing it was just a Red Tower Mountain, immediately furrowed his brow and said: "You're really something, can't even do things properly, what's with sending stuff? Weren't you supposed to go back and wait for news?"
"Hmm... I didn't know if you smoked or not when I came in, so I didn't buy any directly. When I saw the cigarettes on your table, I thought of going to buy some. There aren't many good ones, as long as you don't mind." Liu Dacheng hastily explained.
"Take it away, take it away. Bring me that broken cigarette to smoke too. I'm busy here, no time to listen to your nagging." The man casually waved his hand and threw the Red Tower brand cigarette on the ground.
"You..." Liu Dacheng had never thought that after giving a gift, the other person's attitude would be even worse than before, and for a moment he was so angry that he didn't know what to say.
Liu Yifei was furious at this time, this guy is really too shameless, obviously he just dislikes the cigarette that was sent, and now he's getting angry. However, he's not a 17-year-old young man after all, so he suppressed the fire in his heart and walked over to pick up the cigarette, pulling Liu Dacheng along and saying: "Let's go, we'll wait for news later."
"Hum! You really don't know what's good for you, a rustic and ignorant person like you thinks they can deceive me with this broken cigarette." As Liu Yifei and Liu Dacheng walked to the door, that person muttered behind them, intentionally saying it so that Liu Yifei and Liu Dacheng could hear.
Liu Yifei clenched his fist and followed his father out of the office. Liu Dacheng sighed and said, "It seems that the cigarettes I bought are indeed cheap, they didn't even take a look at them. I'll go buy another one, today this matter must be settled."
Liu Yifei shook his head and said, "Dad, let's not buy anything else. Let's go find their leader."
Liu Dacheng immediately pulled Liu Yifei and said anxiously: "Don't... it's better to have one less thing than one more, the county official is not as good as the current manager, no matter who finds him, in the end it will still fall into his hands. Besides, they are all from the same department, can speak for us, at most just spend two more money, the most important thing is to get the loan done."
Liu Yifei knew that his father had a deep-seated fear of these powerful departments, and that person had taken advantage of his father's honesty to be so arrogant. If he changed to a better cigarette, it might not be impossible to get things done, but thinking of his father being bullied and flushed earlier, Liu Yifei felt unwilling in his heart, saying: "Dad, you go buy cigarettes, I'll wait here for you, lest he leave and can't find anyone."
"Hmm." Liu Dacheng nodded and hurried downstairs quickly.
As soon as Father walked around the corner, Liu Yifei immediately knocked on the door and entered another office, which was the office of the credit department director. Liu Yifei had noticed this office early on, and the person just now was just a loan officer. He went to find their credit department director to report the situation and see if they still dared not to do business with him?
Liu Yifei dared to do so, and that was his experience. Nowadays, people can just card if they want to. Seeing Liu Dacheng as honest, he naturally wanted to card some more. He believed Liu Dacheng wouldn't dare react above. Although Liu Yifei followed up, he was only a 17 or 18-year-old student and wasn't taken seriously. If they really encountered a clever person, they wouldn't dare card either, of course, on the premise that all procedures were in order.
There was only one person in the director's office, a man in his thirties, who frowned at Liu Yifei as he approached. He hadn't even said "come in" yet, but Liu Yifei pushed open the door and entered, which made him very displeased.
"Hello! I'm here for a loan." Liu Yifei looked at the credit department director, feeling somewhat familiar, yet couldn't recall where he had seen him before. He walked briskly to the front of the office desk.
But Director Wang didn't answer, instead he stared straight at Liu Yifei and exclaimed in surprise: "You're Liu Yifei!"
"Ah! I am, you are......" Liu Yifei had always felt that this person looked familiar, but unexpectedly the other party recognized him first, yet no matter what he couldn't recall who the other person was.
"Ah...... brother, you really have forgotten!" The director stood up and warmly grasped Liu Yifei's hand, saying: "That day at school, we met once, you won't only remember my big uncle Zhang Tian Shun, but not me?"
"Ah! You're a relative of Director Zhang!" Liu Yifei was overjoyed at this moment, it's like Lin Meimei had fallen from the sky, he didn't expect that the head of the credit department would be Director Zhang's son-in-law, and even Zhang Tian Shun called him brother, then isn't this person his sister's husband? Getting a loan is going to be easy now.
