Chapter 306 [Wind Chaser 5]
Wei Ruolai sneaked into the banquet and his eyes fell on Shen Jinzhen. He couldn't help but think: Isn't this the person he saved before? Why did she appear in Shen Tunan's house? Could she be invited by Shen Tunan?
At this time, Shen Jinzhen was really planning to touch up her makeup, so she temporarily separated from Youyou. Seeing this, Wei Ruo didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly followed, and pulled Shen Jinzhen aside, lowering his voice and asking: "Why are you here? What are you doing here?"
Shen Jinzhen looked carefully and found that the man in front of him was the man who had fought with him for the rickshaw and later rescued him. Judging from his appearance, he was obviously not a guest invited to the banquet. His dress did not look like that of an upper-class person. So Shen Jinzhen asked in confusion: "How did you get in here? You didn't break in without permission."
Wei Ruolai quickly shook his head and denied it, explaining, "That's not the case at all. I got an invitation through other means to enter. By the way, you once said that you owed me a favor, do you still count?"
Shen Jinzhen frowned slightly, thought for a moment and then replied, "Of course it counts. What do you want? Just tell me directly."
Wei Ruolai's eyes flashed with anticipation, and then he said, "I hope to meet Mr. Shen Tunan."
"You want to see my brother. What do you want from him?" Shen Jinzhen blinked his big curious eyes, staring at the strange man in front of him, and asked puzzledly.
"Oh, so you are Mr. Shen's sister. Then please tell Mr. Shen that Wei Ruolai is looking for him." Wei Ruolai responded with a polite smile with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
"Okay, but you have to promise me that you must completely forget everything that happened that day, especially not tell anyone about my injury! Otherwise... hum! The consequences will be quite serious~" Shen Jinzhen put his hands on his hips and warned the other party with sharp eyes.
"Okay. No problem. I can swear that I will never mention this to anyone. Please rest assured." Wei Ruolai nodded, indicating his agreement and promise.
Then, Shen Jinzhen turned around and left to look for his brother Shen Tunan, and told him about Wei Ruolai's request to see him: "Brother, there is a man who calls himself Wei Ruolai looking for you, and he said he has something important to tell you in person!"
"Wei Ruolai? It's him... Why did he suddenly come to our house?" Shen Tunan's face was full of astonishment. He thought to himself that he was very surprised and confused about Wei Ruolai's appearance.
"Look, he's right there." Shen Jinzhen pointed outside the house.
When Wei Ruolai saw Shen Tunan from afar, he took the initiative to call out, "Mr. Shen."
Shen Tunan calmed down and replied, "Well, please come in and talk."
"Okay, Mr. Shen." Wei Ruolai responded softly and walked into the house.
After entering the study, Wei Ruolai closed the door gently, and the two began to talk...
Shen Tunan looked at the person in front of him expressionlessly, and asked calmly, "Why did you come here specially?"
Wei Ruolai took a deep breath, looked at Shen Tunan firmly, and answered directly: "I implore Mr. Shen to give me a chance to work in the central bank."
Shen Tunan frowned slightly and pointed out mercilessly: "You should know that your hometown is Ji'an, Jiangxi. With your background, you can't pass our bank's strict political review procedures."
However, Wei Ruolai was not repelled by these words. He seemed to have expected such a response. He stared at Shen Tunan and slowly said something shocking: "I understand your intention, Mr. Shen. You just want to use the power of Kunpeng Industrial to take over the four major Minsheng Banks."
Shen Tunan's heart was shocked, but his face quickly regained its composure. He sneered and warned, "Humph! How dare you spy on the bank's internal secrets? I think you should turn yourself in as soon as possible! There are detectives waiting outside. Just based on this, I can arrest you at any time!"
Facing Shen Tunan's threat, Wei Ruolai remained unusually calm. He shook his head and responded calmly, "I have never stolen any confidential information from the bank, and with my current authority, I have no access to the core information. Everything I know is based on the analysis and reasoning of relevant news reports."
"These are all highly confidential matters. How can you make inferences from them at will?" There was a hint of disbelief in Shen Tunan's voice.
Seeing this, Wei Ruolai decided not to hide it anymore, and he told Shen Tunan every detail of his deduction process in detail. His clear and logical narrative style made Shen Tunan look sideways.
Shen Tunan deeply admired Wei Ruolai's talent and secretly sighed in his heart: This person is really amazing! Such outstanding talent is rare!
Wei Ruolai looked at Shen Tunan firmly, expressing his desire to work in the central bank, and solemnly declared that he was willing to sign a confidentiality agreement and even use his life as a guarantee. If any future behavior harmed the interests of the bank, Shen Tunan had the full right to fire him immediately.
However, Shen Tunan shook his head slightly and responded: "Our central bank is a place that focuses on doing things, not a battlefield for fighting."
Wei Ruolai quickly explained: "Sir, please believe me, I am very capable! I will definitely not let you down!"
After hearing this, Shen Tunan fell into deep thought for a moment, and then suggested: "How about this, are you interested in considering being my personal assistant?"
Wei Ruolai was overjoyed to hear this suggestion. He had originally felt hopeless, but now he had a turn for the better, as if he had found a way out of a desperate situation. So he replied excitedly: "Mr. Shen, that's great! But could you please give me a confirmation letter? That way I'll feel more at ease."
Shen Tunan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and said softly: "Are you still worried that I will default on my debt?"
Wei Ruolai quickly waved his hands and explained: "No, it's not like that, sir. It's just... I think this is more formal, and it can also make both of us feel at ease."
Shen Tunan nodded slightly to show his understanding and said, "Well, in that case, I will fulfill your small request." After that, he spread out a piece of white paper, picked up a pen and wrote a few lines - "Wei Ruolai is hired as Shen Tunan's personal assistant", and finally stamped his own seal at the end.
After finishing writing, Shen Tunan picked up the paper and blew on it a few times. When the ink was slightly dry, he handed it to Wei Ruolai and said with a smile, "Okay, take it. You should feel relieved now, right?"
Wei Ruolai took the note with great joy, held it carefully in his hand as if it were a treasure, and thanked Shen Tunan repeatedly: "Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!" His joy was beyond words.
"Well, now that we are here, let's enjoy ourselves." Shen Tunan said with a smile.
"Okay, thank you sir." Wei Ruolai replied happily.
Then, Wei Ruolai began to enjoy all kinds of food. He first tried the exquisite snacks and small cakes, and every bite intoxicated him; then he tasted the mellow champagne, feeling the wonderful taste of being tipsy. As time went by, he ate more and more happily, and his mood became more and more cheerful.
Before he knew it, Wei Ruolai had become a little intoxicated, but he still did not stop enjoying this wonderful time. Before leaving, he specially picked some delicious snacks to pack and prepared to bring them to Awen to share this happiness together.
Finally, with a satisfied smile and a full plate of food, Wei Ruolai said goodbye to Shen Tunan and left. Along the way, he staggered as if he was walking on clouds, but his heart was full of happiness and joy.
As they were about to reach Qibao Street, Awen happened to come back from pulling a rickshaw. Seeing Wei Ruolai drunk and staggering from a distance, he thought he had failed in his job application and was in a bad mood, so he went to get drunk! So Awen hurried forward to support him and comforted him, "Brother Wei, if you really can't find a suitable job, it's no big deal! We don't care about the central bank!"
Hearing this, Wei Ruolai suddenly became excited, and announced loudly with a smile on his face: "Haha, I have good news to tell you. I'm going to work at the central bank soon! What's more, I'm going to be Mr. Shen's assistant! If you don't believe it, you can take a look at this - this is my letter of appointment!" As he said that, he reached for the note given to him by Shen Tuanan in his pocket.
Seeing this, Ah Wen was overjoyed and said excitedly: "Wow, really? I knew you could do it, Brother Wei, and I was right!"
At this time, Wei Ruolai asked mysteriously: "Hey, guess where I went today?"
Ah Wen shook his head curiously and asked, "Where did you go?"
Wei Ruolai proudly revealed the answer: "Hey, I went to Shen Tunan's house today! Look, I packed some delicious snacks for you!" As he spoke, he stuffed the snacks into Awen's mouth.
Awen took a bite and nodded in praise: "Well, it's delicious! Brother Wei, you should try it too!" Then, the two of them shared the snacks, taking bites each, and were extremely happy.
Afterwards, Awen helped the drunk Wei Ruo back to the house, wiped him briefly, and left.
