The pier was bustling with people, and the noise of shouting was endless. Yao Shunru looked into the distance at the cruise ship that was heading downstream. On the deck at the stern, Tian Meixiu leaned against the railing and waved at the shore mechanically.
Yao Shunru suddenly felt very sad and helpless. His heart was broken as he shouted at the cruise ship,"Tian Meixiu, why are you doing this?! Tian Meixiu, why are you so cruel? Tian Meixiu, I hate you. I will hate you forever…"
Yao Shunru sat on the dock in a daze. After a long time, she returned to the dormitory dejectedly. He felt that he had been deceived, played, and abandoned. He felt extremely disappointed and disheartened, and a nameless resentment rose from the bottom of his heart.
He was ready to pack his bags and move to his uncle's house. No, he wanted to leave this sad place, leave Shanghai, and return to his hometown.
Ever since his uncle went to Nanjing, there had been no news from him. He had not contacted him for more than two months, nor had he called his aunt. It was as if he had disappeared from this world.
Sister Manli had not been seen for more than a month, as if she was deliberately avoiding him. It had been a long time since Big Brother and Second Brother had written to him. Everyone was avoiding him. Everyone had forgotten about him. They had forgotten where he was going after graduation and that he urgently needed a job.
When Yao Shunru tidied up the bedsheets, he was shocked. It was only now that he realized that he had left a map on the white sheets when he was in a frenzy the night before. Half of the map was red, and the other half was a shadow mark formed by the infiltration of semen, with a round red dot in the middle.
He felt extremely miserable. Could this be the reward for three years of hard work? Could this be the price for three years of passionate love? They had both given up their most precious virginity for each other.
He touched the map sadly, his mind full of thoughts. It evoked endless memories of his three years of university life. The time and scenes that had passed surged into his mind bit by bit.
He looked at the map in a daze and suddenly made a shocking discovery. The Yin and Yang images in front of him were just two fluttering flags. He almost cried out in surprise. The resentment in his heart suddenly ran to his minions, and the resentment in his heart disappeared.
He suddenly understood that this was not a personal grudge between him and Tian Meixiu, nor was it a change of love between them, nor was it anyone's fault. The people of the two countries suffered from the enmity, but the people of the two countries were harmonious.
He suddenly thought of Lu Xun's poem,""Rushing thunder and flying flames annihilate the son of man, leaving the hungry dove in the ruined well. I happened to meet a big heart from the fire house, finally left the tower miss Yingzhou. The elite bird dream wake still mouth stone, fighter sincere firm together to resist the flow. After crossing the tribulation, the brothers are still here. When they meet, they will smile and forget their grudges.”
"It's a good sign that two flags are connected," he said carelessly."There's a time for true love to meet.”Hence, she carefully folded the bedsheet. This was the only souvenir left by their first love.
Suddenly, he heard someone knocking on the door. Yao Shunru did not stop what he was doing and said,"Please come in." She even said,"If you didn't come, you wouldn't have seen me anymore."”
"Where are you going?" Professor Chu pushed the door open and asked.
"Teacher Chu, you're here. I thought it was Shi Guangyao. I'm really sorry.”He was shocked and hurriedly went forward to hold Professor Chu's hand. He said shyly,"My place is dirty and messy. I don't even have boiling water…"
" Haha," Professor Chu laughed and said,""It's okay. I know you haven't left school yet. I have something to discuss with you.”
"I haven't had the time to say goodbye to you yet. I will definitely say goodbye to you before I leave school. I was prepared to go to your house after your lunch break. Instead, you made two trips. "I'm really ashamed…" Yao Shunru said apologetically.
"Do you plan to go back to your hometown or stay in Shanghai to develop your career?”Professor Chu asked with concern.
"Uncle went to Nanjing and we haven't seen each other for more than a month. My cousin also went to Nanjing recently. I don't even have anyone to talk to.
I was unfamiliar with this place and was afraid that it would be difficult to find a suitable job. I asked a few classmates for help, but I haven't replied yet.
Instead of wasting time here doing nothing, I might as well go back to my hometown to take a look before making plans. However, I haven't asked for my uncle's opinion yet.”Yao Shunru said dejectedly.
"Last night, at the Money Trade Association gathering, the chairman of Pu Xing Bank asked me to find a secretary for him. I think you're very suitable.”
"Of course I'm willing. Thank you for your recommendation." He was pleasantly surprised.
"Don't be happy yet. I'm still pondering in my heart. I came to listen to your opinion first. I haven't recommended it to him yet.”
Professor Chu paused for a moment and said,"I think if you're willing, I'll write you a recommendation letter." Go to Pu Xing Bank yourself and meet the chairman, Mr. Yang Guangda, to see if he likes it.”
"Thank you, teacher…"
"Don't thank me yet. I hope your wish comes true. Just come to my teaching and research room to get the letter later.”Professor Chu stood up and walked out. Yao Shunru quickly stood up and followed closely behind, respectfully sending the teacher downstairs.
The next morning, Yao Shunru took the recommendation letter to the Union Building on the Bund. It was a six-story building with a steel frame structure. Because the foundation of the building was in a echelon shape, the east side was only 30 meters long, and the north side was about 70 meters long. In architectural design, the long side should usually be used as the main facade.
However, in order to occupy a glorious side of the Bund, the designer was ingenious. The east side of the building facing the Bund and the north side of the Fifth Road were designed as the main facade of the building. There were front doors on both sides.
Moreover, at the top of the east gate, there was an additional pagoda pavilion. The pagoda pavilion was surrounded by two pillars supporting a spherical dome. On the dome, there was a brake rod that was several meters high. In this way, the side facing the Bund became a taller, more majestic, and more solemn seven-story building.
The overall design of the building was modeled after the European Renaissance architectural style, using a combination of neoclassical and modern eclectic techniques. The three-section composition of the fa?ade was balanced and symmetrical, with Baroque swirl-shaped decorations.
There was an Ionic column on each side of the door, and the window pane was decorated with a rotating pattern. The outer wall was made of granite, and there were balconies and carved iron bars on the third and fifth floors. Looking at it from afar, the entire building gave people a simple, bright, smooth, and luxurious feeling. The headquarters of Pu Xing Bank was located in this building.
Yao Shunru walked into the business hall on the first floor. Behind the magnificently decorated counter, a bank employee in a suit was busy. A student on duty in the lobby saw a young man who was poking his head out and asked. After listening to the explanation, he told him that the director's office was on the sixth floor.
Yao Shunru took the elevator on the right side of the hall to the sixth floor. When she walked out of the elevator, she saw a dark red carpet on the floor. There was an open office door across the street. There were a few desks by the window, a sofa and a coffee table on both sides. There was a door on the left that led to the room inside. A young lady was bending over the table and copying something.
She heard someone walk out of the elevator. She looked up and asked,"May I know who you are looking for?"
"I'm looking for the chairman."
"Do you have an appointment?"
"No, it was Professor Chu from Dongfang Business School who recommended me to meet the chairman.”
"What's your name?"
"Your surname is Yao."
"Please sit down and wait for a while." She got up and invited him to sit on the sofa and made him a cup of tea.
Yao Shunru quickly stood up and took the teacup with both hands, thanking him. He smelled the refreshing fragrance of roses. At this moment, the two of them looked at each other. He felt as if he had been electrocuted.
The human eyes had a natural electrical discharge function, which was what was commonly known as a light in the eyes. Under normal circumstances, it would not discharge electricity, nor would it be easily electrocuted. Only in the occasional moment, when the opposite sex looked at each other and discharged electricity at the same time, would there be sparks of electric shock.
Miss returned to her original position and continued to copy with her head lowered. Yao Shunru had nothing to do. After looking around, her gaze fell on this girl. He thought that this girl was tall and slim, young and beautiful, and her sitting posture was very elegant. She should be a secretary.
He thought, the chairman has such a beautiful secretary, why would he still need a secretary? The chairman was not satisfied with her work?…Could it be that I'm here to steal her job? She's still in the dark. If that's the case, I really can't bear it.
Yao Shunru had long heard that Yang Guangda, the chairman and general manager of Pu Xing Bank, was an all-powerful figure in Shanghai. In recent decades, there were not many people in China who could be called a banker. Yang Guangda was one of the few.
Yang Guangda was a rich second-generation heir. He graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in the United States and entered the American bank for a few years. Five years after he returned to China, his father helped him to become the chairman. He had a dignified and steady appearance, was serious, decisive, and rigorous. He had the unique temperament of a bank president and had a good reputation in the financial world.
Pu Xing Bank was a private joint stock bank. The development of the money industry in China had gone through several stages. At the beginning, it appeared as a private bank, such as Shanxi Bank.
Later on, the banks that had begun to function as banks were those that only had seven or eight employees and only served fixed customers or family businesses. They were transformed from small private banks. In the true sense of the word, modern private banks of considerable scale did not appear until after the 1911 Revolution.
In the 30th year of Guangxu, the Qing court set up the Qing Ministry of Revenue Bank. After more than a year of preparation, the first government bank in the history of China, the Qing Ministry of Revenue Bank, was established in Beijing in August 1905. The predecessor of the current China Bank was the Bank of the Ministry of Revenue of the Qing Dynasty. It was established in January 1912 with the approval of the President of the People's Republic of China.
The Bank of Transportation was founded in 1908. In 1924, the Guangdong Revolutionary Government led by the government established the Central Bank. In 1935, the National Government established the Celestial Agricultural Bank in accordance with the Celestial Farmer Bank Regulations. By the time of the Kuomintang-era, the four major government banks had completely monopolized the financial industry in China. In addition to the local banks in the provinces, the living space of the national private banks was squeezed smaller and smaller.
