Liu Jianxiong is seventeen years old this year, only one year younger than Shi Zhijian. As the young owner of a fan shop, Liu Jianxiong has actually never suffered much.
Back when Shi Zhijian was their neighbor, the Liu family had not yet developed, and his father, Uncle Liu, had not yet officially opened a fan business. Young Liu Jianxiong followed a group of street gangsters and bullied Shi Zhijian.
Shi Zhijian didn't like to talk when he was a child. According to Mr. Shi's words, three sticks can't hit a fart, so he became the target of little Liu Jianxiong's bullying. When he went to school, he stuffed rats into Shi Zhijian's schoolbag, and after school, he pushed Shi Zhijian down on the sand.
From time to time, they also snatched Shi Zhijian's pocket money, ice cream, stickers, and green frogs.
In short, Shi Zhijian and Liu Jianxiong were "sworn enemies" when they were young.
As Uncle Liu's electric fan business became prosperous, the Liu family's life improved, but the Shi family became more and more in decline, and they moved directly to Shek Kip Mei.
Liu Jianxiong no longer had a target to bully, and he became honest for a short time. As he grew older, he focused on picking up girls.
Relying on his family's wealth, Liu Jianxiong often picked up girls at school, and often took the girls to open a house in Kowloon City to practice the Tang poem "Ode to the Goose". He was known as the "little fan" and the "flowery young man".
Although Liu Jianxiong is naughty by nature, he studies very seriously, so his academic performance is also very good. He originally planned to go to Canada to study abroad and get a doctorate or something after graduation, so that he could inherit the family business and promote the electric fan industry when he comes back.
However, a fire broke out in Uncle Liu's fan shop not long ago. If Shi Zhijian hadn't appeared, history might have followed the original trajectory. Uncle Liu reluctantly closed the factory and continued to send his son to study abroad, and he would wait for an opportunity to make a comeback.
But Shi Zhijian appeared, and Uncle Liu got the news that Shi Zhijian had a good relationship with the third young master of the Xu family.
So Uncle Liu had a new thought. He was going to use the study abroad scholarship prepared for his son to help the factory to deal with the emergency first. As for his son, he would send him to a bank to work as a white-collar worker. As a man, you have to know how to support yourself.
And this became a thorn in Liu Jianxiong's hatred of Shi Zhijian. He could have gone to Canada to study, but it was because Shi Zhijian wanted to stay in Hong Kong that he disliked Shi Zhijian.
For Shi Zhijian, Liu Jianxiong, the future super tycoon, is just a young boy who has not yet worked and needs to be trained by himself.
Shi Zhijian's slap made Liu Jianxiong understand what treachery is and what avenging private revenge is.
Liu Jianxiong was filled with hatred, but his parents kept thanking Shi Zhijian, saying that Shi Zhijian's education was right. Young people are restless and have no practical energy to do things, especially those in banks who deal with money.
If you get the wrong number, you will have to be beaten by the ghost guy. Now Shi Zhijian is willing to beat the male guy himself. He is really a caring person.
Shi Zhijian waited until they finished thanking him, and then said that it would be better to choose a different date. He could take Xiongzi to the bank for an interview today, if the two old people agreed.
How could Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu disagree?
It’s not too late to be happy!
Liu Jianxiong felt like he was mourning for his heir. Originally, he came here just to deal with it, and he might still have room for maneuver. When the time comes, he can convince his parents with his sharp tongue and send himself to study in Canada. But now---
--
No chance!
Unexpectedly, Shi Zhijian actually acted for real!
As a result, Liu Jianxiong hated Shi Zhijian even more.
Shi Yufeng didn't expect the result to be so good. Everyone was happy except that Xiongzi's face didn't look very good.
…
At about nine o'clock, Shi Zhijian drove Liu Jianxiong to the HSBC Head Office at No. 1 Queen's Road Central, Hong Kong Island.
Before Shi Zhijian came, he had a phone call with Mr. Xu Shixun, who told him that he had already given instructions and that he could just contact "Williams", the person in charge of the human resources department of the head office.
Hong Kong's Xu family has a large stake in HSBC Hong Kong, and as the third young master of the Xu family has some respect, it is very simple to appoint someone to work as a bank teller.
Shi Zhijian parked the car and took Liu Jianxiong into the bank lobby.
Although Liu Jianxiong had a stubborn personality, he somewhat knew the importance of this matter and did not dare to cause trouble. He followed Shi Zhijian towards the bank's human resources department.
Williams is a mature and prudent British guy. Although he despises China's "back door" method of trust relations, he has nothing to do about it. After all, he is also working for others.
Williams didn't put on any airs and simply interviewed Liu Jianxiong. He first asked about his family situation. When he heard that Liu Jianxiong's family situation seemed to be pretty good, his expression improved a little. Then he asked about Liu Jianxiong's study situation, especially his use of English.
English had an in-depth conversation with Liu Jianxiong.
Regardless of ABCD, Liu Jianxiong answered questions fluently in English.
In this era, not many people can speak English well, and this alone makes Williams very satisfied.
Finally, Williams gave Liu Jianxiong a form to fill out, and specified that working in a bank required a deposit of "three thousand yuan" and required a guarantor's signature and the guarantor's phone number.
Of course, this regulation only applies to Chinese people. The purpose is to restrain Chinese people from violating bank rules. To put it bluntly, it is to prevent Chinese people from taking money and running away.
Although Shi Zhijian is very disgusted with the "discrimination regulations" like Gui Lao who look down on others, many rules in this era are like this.
Liu Jianxiong did not bring any cash, so Shi Zhijian helped advance the payment, and also acted as his guarantor and left his factory contact number.
Finally, everything was settled, and Williams replied that if there were no problems, Liu Jianxiong could come here to work tomorrow.
Shi Zhijian and Liu Jianxiong said goodbye to Williams and left the Human Resources Department.
What Liu Jianxiong has to do now is to wait in the lounge outside for a while. Someone will take him to get his work clothes and inform him of the preparations he needs to make for work tomorrow.
Although Liu Jianxiong didn't like working in a bank very much, he was able to speak fluent English in front of the ghost guy and was allowed to go to work tomorrow. His face couldn't help but be filled with pride.
In his opinion, even without Shi Zhijian's help, he would have been admitted to the bank with his own ability and talent. His parents' efforts were all in vain.
"How about it, have you seen my strength? In fact, I can do it without your help!" Liu Jianxiong and Shi Zhijian were sitting together in the lounge of the bank, drinking coffee, their faces full of pride.
"It's not bad. For someone of your age, you can speak English so smoothly and can answer questions fluently when facing a ghost. It deserves praise!" Shi Zhijian picked up the coffee and took a sip.
Liu Jianxiong was a little dissatisfied when Shi Zhijian spoke in an old-fashioned way, "Hey, Shi Zhijian, you are only one year older than me, so I won't call you Brother Jian anymore, let's call you A Jian. I heard that A Jian, you are now helping the young master of the Xu family,
Working for others in Yuen Long?"
"Correction, the factory is run by me, not by the Xu family!" Shi Zhijian answered seriously.
"Pfft!" Liu Jianxiong laughed, "Why, you want to pretend to be a boss here and say that you started from scratch? I believe you are a ghost!"
"Believe it or not, go take a look when you get the chance!"
"I will definitely do it. I want to see if your factory is as big as the toilet here!" Liu Jianxiong sneered.
At this time, the person responsible for leading Liu Jianxiong came over. First, he gave him a set of clothes and asked him to try it out later and see if he wanted to change it. Then he threw a booklet to him and said it was the professional code that every bank employee must abide by.
.
Liu Jianxiong opened it and looked at it. It was full of some weird regulations. The most annoying one was that you should not retaliate when you are scolded or hit, and you should treat all distinguished customers, especially foreign customers, as gods.
Liu Jianxiong frowned and flipped through the brochure to find a place to try on clothes.
Here, Shi Zhijian was drinking coffee and twitching his fingers at the ghost guy next to him who was mixing coffee and eating for free.
The ghost guy came over curiously.
"Dear friend, do you want to make money?"
"Of course, what's the best introduction?"
Gui Lao is a second-rate kid in this area, a scum among foreigners. He usually likes to eat and drink in civilized and polite places like banks. When he hears that there is money to be made, his green eyes immediately light up.
"Did you see the big nose that I was sitting with just now? Starting from tomorrow, you slap him once a day!" Shi Zhijian took out three hundred Hong Kong dollars, "Three hundred Hong Kong dollars for each slap!"
The ghost guy was startled for a moment, then immediately smiled and said in broken Cantonese: "Slapping someone in the face is my favorite!"
For Shi Zhijian, since Shaqiang left, many things in the factory need to be done by himself. It is really tiring to have no one he can trust to help take care of the factory.
However, it is difficult to find someone who knows how to manage or has business talent. And Liu Jianxiong, a future business genius, suddenly appeared. How could Shi Zhijian be willing to let him go?
In the previous life, Liu Jianxiong just started from a small electric fan factory, established the Ameco Group Company, then dabbled in real estate and stocks, and then became a billionaire tycoon in one fell swoop. This talent is one of the best in Hong Kong.
Now that he doesn't go abroad to study, wouldn't it be unworthy of him to just sit in the bank for nothing?
Talents must be recruited to his subordinates, so Shi Zhijian was prepared to train Liu Jianxiong.
Stubborn people need to be slapped. Since one slap is not enough, you might as well give a few more!
"Ah sneeze!"
Liu Jianxiong, who was trying on professional attire in the bathroom, couldn't help but rub his big nose and felt a gust of cold wind blowing from his back.
