Chapter 698: His teacher was actually...
Cola Novels makes reading always a chapter faster than others.
The staff in the risk management department looked curiously at the group of people brought in by Fei Song. He was walking and talking with a man in his thirties, and several other people were following behind them at a certain distance. Judging from their clothes, these people were obviously not ordinary people.
"Teacher, this is where I work, and that's my workstation," Fei Song said, pointing to his workstation as he introduced it to Huang Xiaochuan.
Huang Xiaochuan didn't speak, but simply nodded, looking quite interested.
When an outsider suddenly arrives in the department, Tao Chen, as the department head, naturally has to come out and see what's going on.
When he saw that it was the newly appointed assistant bank president leading a group to tour the department, he was taken aback. When he saw that Fei Song was very respectful to the man, Tao Chen couldn't help but take a closer look at the man.
It looks familiar, but I just can't remember where I've seen it before.
A leader from the head office? Doesn't seem like it! And he's too young.
A city leader? That's even more impossible; there's no way a leader could be that young.
But the scene was quite grand. Tao Chen thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a solution, so he simply stopped thinking about it, put on a smile, and took the initiative to greet them.
"Assistant Fei, who is this?"
Fei Song hesitated for a moment, unsure how to introduce himself. Huang Xiaochuan, naturally aware of Fei Song's predicament, took the initiative to introduce himself with a smile.
"Oh! I'm Fei Song's university professor. I wanted to see Fei Song's work environment, so I asked him to show me around."
Upon hearing this, Tao Chen became even more enthusiastic: "Oh my! So you're Assistant Fei's teacher! My apologies, my name is Tao Chen, and I'm Assistant Fei's colleague." Tao Chen also took the initiative to introduce herself.
At this moment, Fei Song said to Huang Xiaochuan, "This is Minister Tao from our ventilation department."
"Minister Tao! Hello!" Huang Xiaochuan extended his hand and gently shook hands with Tao Chen.
Tao Chen politely asked, "May I ask your surname, teacher?"
"Oh! My surname is Huang, Huang Xiaochuan!"
"It's Teacher Huang!" Upon hearing this name, Tao Chen suddenly jolted awake; he remembered.
Tao Chen quickly took another careful look at Huang Xiaochuan, and then looked at the several attendants standing not far away. Tao Chen became more and more certain, but there was still a little doubt in his heart. Could it be?
But the more he looked, the more it seemed to be him. As a banker, Tao Chen naturally knew who Asia's richest man was. However, the media frenzy of that year had long since passed, so he hadn't been able to make a connection for a while. But with this name mentioned, coupled with this demeanor and entourage, Tao Chen was now almost certain.
His lips trembled slightly as he asked, "Are you... are you Chairman Huang?"
Huang Xiaochuan jokingly said to Tao Chen, "If there isn't a second one, then it should be me."
It was like a thunderbolt exploding above his head, completely stunning Tao Chen. He never imagined that his former subordinate, Fei Song, now Assistant Fei, would actually be this person's student? My God!
He knew the general background of Huang Xiaochuan, the legendary richest man in Asia, and knew that he had served as a professor at the University of Finance and Economics for a period of time. Combined with the fact that Fei Song graduated from this university, it all made sense.
No wonder, no wonder! No wonder Fei Song was suddenly promoted to assistant bank president, so that's how it is! At this moment, Tao Chen, who originally thought that this personnel adjustment was a bit unusual, finally understood. With such a background, let alone assistant bank president, Fei Song could have taken his own position.
"Oh! It really is you! Hello, hello, look at you! Look at you! This is so sudden, I wasn't prepared at all." Tao Chen kept rubbing his hands, somewhat at a loss.
Huang Xiaochuan smiled and waved his hand: "Minister Tao, no need to be so polite. I just came to take a look and will be leaving in a bit."
"How can that be? If Chairman Huang doesn't mind, please come to my office for a while. Let me go and report to the bank's leadership so they can receive you." Tao Chen had already realized what was going on.
"Minister Tao, really, it's not necessary." Huang Xiaochuan's voice carried an air of unyielding authority.
Seeing Huang Xiaochuan's resolute attitude, Tao Chen had no choice but to give up: "Alright then!"
Cao Ping, who was closest to the group, had been listening intently to their conversation at her workstation. However, what she overheard terrified her.
She never expected that Fei Song, who seemed honest and unassuming, would have such a powerful background. But she was also very puzzled as to how Fei Song could have worked as a bank clerk for so long with such connections.
The employees who were close to each other and sitting in adjacent seats began to whisper among themselves, speculating about the identity of the visitor and what kind of relationship he had with Fei Song. It's just human curiosity at work; basically, everyone has this gene.
Huang Xiaochuan didn't linger there for long. Once he had achieved his goal, he planned to leave. Fei Song escorted him all the way to his car.
Tao Chen also wanted to see him off, but was stopped by Huang Xiaochuan's entourage. He could only watch Huang Xiaochuan leave, and then he left the office and ran upstairs to the vice president's office.
Before getting into the car, Huang Xiaochuan waved to Fei Song: "Alright, go back now! Call me more often if you need anything, okay?"
Fei Song replied respectfully, his tone filled with gratitude, "Yes, teacher!"
Only after watching the convoy disappear from his sight did Fei Song have time to wipe the corner of his eye.
When Fei Song returned to the office, his colleagues looked at him differently again, some with awe, some with flattery, some with surprise, and some with ingratiation. At that moment, Fei Song truly understood what society was and also understood his teacher's intention.
As soon as Fei Song sat down, Shui Ziqin rushed to his side, grabbed his chair, and asked, "Was that the person you were with just now Mr. Huang Xiaochuan, Asia's richest man? How do you know him? What's your relationship with him?"
Shui Ziqin immediately bombarded him with a barrage of questions, which were also the topics that everyone in the office had been discussing after Huang Xiaochuan and Fei Song's group came downstairs. Some people had already recognized Huang Xiaochuan, but they were hesitant to confirm it. Cao Ping, who already knew the truth, remained silent. So, as soon as Fei Song returned, Shui Ziqin rushed up to ask him this question.
At this moment, all the employees in the large office seemed to hold their breath, and the entire office was silent, waiting for Fei Song to speak.
Having gained some understanding of how society works, Fei Song no longer concealed the issue as before. He frankly told Shui Ziqin, "You haven't mistaken him for someone else. It is him. He was my mentor during my graduate studies."
The news that Fei Song revealed surprised Shui Ziqin so much that she covered her mouth. She really didn't expect that the usually honest Fei Song was actually a student of Huang Xiaochuan, the richest man in Asia. Moreover, judging from what she had just seen, this richest man cared a lot about his disciple. Otherwise, why would he condescend to come and see where Fei Song works?
Fei Song then told Shui Ziqin everything about how Huang Xiaochuan was forced to resign from his teaching position because of the anonymous letter, which prevented him and several of his classmates from continuing their studies with this professor until graduation, and how they were reassigned to another professor halfway through their studies.
Everyone in the office gaped in astonishment. My God! This was probably the biggest gossip in the industry this year: a colleague they'd worked with for so long was actually a student of Huang Xiaochuan, Asia's richest man, during his time as a university professor!
Soon, the branch vice presidents upstairs also learned about this matter, and they finally understood the real reason why Wei Chaoyang suddenly promoted Fei Song to assistant president.
