Chapter 49 Reception
Central Avenue.

1 Twelve Streets.

This is the Binjiang branch of Citibank.

After the end of World War I, American businesses expanded aggressively to the Far East. In Binjiang alone, there were more than 40 American businesses involved in industries such as electrical, metallurgy, automobile assembly, gold mines, coal mines, forest farms, and wood processing.

Most of these enterprises have business relations with Citibank. Thanks to this, Citibank operates in good condition, with an average annual deposit of 1400 million yuan and loans of 1000 million yuan, ranking among the best in the financial industry in Northeast China.

With the expansion of business scope, Citibank used creditor's rights to participate in entity operations, such as Songhua River Flour Company, Ash River Sugar Factory and so on.

In the past two years, due to fierce competition in the industry, Citibank has gradually declined.

Citi Bank of the United States, Standard Chartered Bank of the United Kingdom, and French Commercial French Bank opened in Binjiang one after another, crowding out the dominant financial position of Citibank.

Citibank also holds a reception to build a good relationship with customers.

……

The reception was held in the banquet hall of the Modern Hotel.

Seven o'clock in the evening.

The well-dressed guests arrived one after another.

The reception is in the form of a buffet buffet, with a variety of cold dishes and fruits.

Representatives of the Bank's board of directors delivered a speech.

The cuckoo is glamorous, the water green cheongsam with high slits, the fashionable big wavy hairstyle, and the gestures of the hands and feet, have their own charm that seduces the soul.

The eyes of the men were involuntarily attracted to them. On the surface, they were calm and calm, full of benevolence and morality, and looked like a polite gentleman. There were seventeen or eight knots in their stomachs.

Du Juan took Qi Yue's arm, sighed and said: "Sometimes, I often think that if men are all the same, for people like me, it will save a lot of troubles for no reason. Mediocre and ugly, some people are outstanding and pleasing to the eye. The sad thing is, those who look ugly say I am worried, and those who are outstanding say what I want."

Qi Yue thought for a while: "I ask you a question, where does the trouble come from?"

Du Juan said: "Desire."

Qi Yue said: "Many people think it's desire, but I don't think it's completely right."

Du Juan looked at him: "Then tell me, where does the trouble come from?"

Qi Yue said: "I care too much about the process."

Du Juan was stunned for a while, then murmured, "I care too much about the process..."

Qi Yue said: "The process is very important, but in the end it is the result."

Rhododendron thoughtfully.

Qi Yue handed her a glass of champagne.

A middle-aged man with blond hair and blue eyes walked over.

Cuckoo greeted: "Hi, Smith."

Smith frowned, and said in blunt Chinese: "Dear Miss Du, please answer me honestly, why every time I see you, I can see a completely different beauty."

Du Juan smiled and said, "Maybe, you should get a new pair of glasses."

Smith laughed and hugged Dujuan warmly.

Du Juan said: "Let me introduce to you, this is Police Officer Qi Yue from the Police Department, and this is Mr. Smith, the business director of Citibank."

Smith shook hands with Qi Yue, pretending to be serious and said: "Just now I was thinking that the guy who was with Miss Du must beat him up if he finds a chance, oh, please forgive me, jealousy made me lose Reasonable. However, I have changed my mind now-I don't want to apply for extraterritorial rights because of fighting!"

Qi Yue said: "Maybe, we can have a duel and compare who can drink better."

Smith nodded solemnly: "I very much agree with Your Excellency's suggestion!"

The two laughed and touched their glasses.

"Two, excuse me."

Du Juan walked to the bathroom.

Qi Yue asked: "Mr. Smith, I heard that your bank's storage business is not limited to ordinary banknotes, but also includes other valuable commodities, is that true?"

Smith said: "Yes. Citibank is based in America and serves the whole world. It is a reputable multinational bank. Gold, silver jewelry, bonds, famous watches, antique calligraphy and paintings, etc. can be legally deposited in the bank. The interest guarantee is It is the highest in the industry, and if it involves a large amount of deposits, the interest can also be discussed in detail, why, Officer Qi has a demand for this?"

Qi Yue said: "One of my superiors entrusted me to inquire about the relevant situation."

Smith nodded with a knowing smile.

Qi Yue asked again: "Can I be anonymous? Oh, you know, as a government official, it will be very inconvenient when it comes to money."

"Of course no problem. Citibank strictly abides by the confidentiality regulations of the financial industry. No matter under any circumstances, it will not disclose customer information. If you deposit more than 1000 yuan, I will receive it in person and truly keep one-on-one confidential. For example, from here From this moment on, no third person will know what we are talking about. This is my phone number, please feel free to contact me if necessary.”

Smith handed Qi Yue a business card.

Qi Yue said: "I will, thank you very much."

After a while, the cuckoo went and came back.

She admired and said: "Mrs. Rong is really well maintained. She is in her thirties, and she looks like a girl of seventeen or eighteen..."

Qi Yue followed her gaze.

A coquettish woman just came in and greeted an acquaintance in a coquettish voice.

The orchestra played melodious music.

"Miss Du, can I ask you to dance?"

Smith gracefully made a please gesture.

Du Juan smiled and said, "It's a great honor."

The two danced lightly and stepped onto the dance floor.

Qi Yue stood alone for a while, then slowly walked towards the third aunt.

The third aunt's eyes fluttered and she looked around aimlessly-a common characteristic of playful men and women, they would never let go of any chance to hunt for beauty.

The waiter walks by with the tray.

The third aunt reached for the wine glass on the tray.

Qi Yue also went to get the same glass of wine.

The two looked at each other, and Qi Yue smiled slightly: "Madam, please first."

"Thank you."

The third aunt's heart was pounding.

At the first glance between a man and a woman, you can more or less see each other's intentions.

Especially that almost ambiguous look.

Obviously, the third aunt felt the "ambiguity" of this handsome young man too much.

The third aunt was born as an actress.

When I was young, I went all over the world with the troupe, and I was someone who had seen the world.

"The Peony Pavilion" has been sung too much, and it will inevitably arouse the lovesickness beans in my heart. Over the years, the third aunt has had a lot of close friends both in the open and in the dark.

Later, she married Rong Feng, and because of her status, she didn't dare to mess around easily, and she was also getting older, so she restrained herself somewhat.

An Guojun went out of the city to suppress the bandits, and Rong Feng had been away for more than two months. The third aunt couldn't stand the loneliness. When she heard that Citibank held a reception for its [-]th anniversary, she couldn't wait to come over to join in the fun.

Joining in the fun is on the one hand, on the other hand, there is also a heart to attract bees and butterflies.
