Hu Pingtao felt even more incredible after hearing this. He frowned and asked Shao Xiaoping: "Sister Shao, given your family background, it is only a matter of time before your son gets married. What is there to worry about?"

Shao Xiaoping expressed her bitterness: "You don't know! I used to be poor. I didn't have a house to live in my workplace, so I lived in a shack with my husband's family. It was a shack next to a small railway in the southern suburbs. Now that place has been demolished

It fell down. It was said to be a house, but in fact it was just used

The coal shed was expanded. The family had no money to buy building materials, so they built old rotors and stones together, made partition walls with tin sheets and thick cardboard, and covered them with linoleum felt. In summer, it can heat people to death.

In winter, the cold wind blows in, making it useless to light the stove."

"When the fire came, I was laid off and my workplace was gone. I started a small business on my own. At first, I sold pickled radishes and candies in front of the primary school for two cents a bag. Later, when I had some money, I started selling pickled radish and candies.

I followed others to Guangzhou to make clothes, and then I started to build up my family's fortune bit by bit."

Hu Pingtao found it very interesting and admired Shao Xiaoping: "Sister Shao, you are quite powerful!"

Shao Xiaoping was very proud when talking about this: "I know my own affairs best. In fact, getting rich requires hard work, and you have to find the right path."

As she said that, she turned the topic to her son Shao Zhiwei: "Although my son graduated from Zhengzhou University, his academic qualifications... Let me say it first, it's not that I look down on college students! It would have taken ten years... No, five years ago,

College students are still very popular. But now it is different from the past! Every school is expanding its enrollment, and it is impossible to get a bachelor's degree. Just like my son, there are a lot of people in my company, and the job is not stable.

Maybe I won’t want you anymore.”

Hu Pingtao was deeply touched by this: "That's true. The city bureau recruits auxiliary police officers, and thousands of people apply for it every time. The conditions are very difficult, at least you must have a college degree or above. There are many applicants.

They are all undergraduate graduates, from 1985 and 211."

Shao Xiaoping sighed: "Although I have money, it is what I have earned with hard work. As the saying goes: It is better to have a skill than to have a lot of wealth. My son is studying finance. He was a good major in the past and is assigned to find a job.

There is no need to worry at all. But now that he has graduated, I have asked my friends in the bank and they all said it is not in good shape."

"I also thought about asking my son to come to the company to help me with work. But he didn't want to because he was afraid that others would gossip, so he read at home by himself and planned to take the civil service exam."

Hu Pingtao smiled and said: "Not bad! Taking the public examination is also a good way out."

Shao Xiaoping said: "I'm very worried about Zhiwei. Look, he has an average education, average appearance, and average height, but his weight... is extraordinary! He is only in his twenties and weighs more than 110 kilograms. He

Still disobedient and unwilling to go to the gym... Oops, it makes me so worried."

"I can keep him at home, but the problem is that I can't keep him for a lifetime! The family's property seems to be a lot now, who can say clearly what will happen in the future? With inflation, tens of millions may shrink into millions.

Hundreds of thousands. I will definitely go ahead of my child, and his father is careless. What should Zhiwei do in the future?"

Hu Pingtao was surprised when he heard this and comforted Shao Xiaoping: "Sister Shao, you are thinking too much."

He could finally see that Shao Xiaoping was the kind of person with a strong sense of crisis. No matter how much money she had and how strong her family background was, she still had the fear that she might lose everything at any time.

Shao Xiaoping said seriously: "I really didn't think much about it. I have to think about my child. I have to find a good job for him."

Hu Pingtao asked: "Sister Shao, didn't you just say that your son was preparing to take the public examination?"

Shao Xiaoping asked back: "Can he guarantee that he will pass the exam?"

She is a very good mother and is willing to let her children endure hardships.

Hu Pingtao felt that nothing was appropriate to say, so he followed Shao Xiaoping's topic and said: "That's right... Haha, there are still quite a lot of uncertainties."

"So no matter what, I first find a stable job for Zhiwei." Shao Xiaoping said: "As the saying goes: a cunning rabbit has three burrows. If the exam fails, at least my child has a way out."

"If he doesn't have a stable job, what girl can fall in love with him?"

"I have no good looks, and I'm extremely fat... If I don't have a better job, I really won't be able to find a wife in the future."

Shao Zhiwei's face felt a little hot when he heard it, and he was also very unhappy with his mother's remarks: "What are you talking about! I already said that this is my business, and you don't have to worry about it."

Shao Xiaoping opened her mouth and spat out: "If I didn't care how big you were, you would have starved to death long ago."

Shao Zhiwei sighed and avoided Shao Xiaoping's aggressive eyes. He had talked with his mother many times about work, life, and the future. But Shao Xiaoping's point of view was very unique and strange--even if your family has a million dollars, you still You have to be self-reliant, and you have to find a good wife who cares about your family and likes you.

What Shao Xiaoping said is very well founded.

"My son is very shy. He has been this way since he was a child. He doesn't like to interact with outsiders. I usually have social events and take him out to eat. He will nod to others, say hello, and then stop talking."

"He has a dull temperament. He likes to read books and work on the computer at home."

"I've told him several times that he should learn to communicate and get along with more different people. You can't live alone in the future! What if you have no friends and encounter trouble?"

"Ouch, I'm so worried about you..."

Hu Pingtao listened and felt a little moved - Shao Xiaoping was indeed a good mother.

He smiled and persuaded: "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Sister Shao, you think too much."

Shao Xiaoping sighed: "I wish I was overthinking it! But I still have to help him with some things. Let's talk about work... Well, Xiaohu! I asked you to come over today. I really need your help with something."

Hu Pingtao nodded quickly: "Sister Shao, tell me, as long as I can help, I will definitely help."

"That's it..." Shao Xiaoping pondered for a moment, then lowered her voice: "I had previously scouted a position for Zhiwei, in the Provincial Industrial and Commercial Bank of China."

Hu Pingtao thought for a moment and asked seriously: "The kind that has a system?"

Shao Xiaoping nodded and said: "Of course. If there is no establishment, why should I bring Zhiwei in?"

There are two types of staff in state-owned banks: the first is those who are hired from outside, such as those who work at the counter. The second is those who have formal establishment status and sit in offices.

The first type is very common, while the second type is divided into employees and officials. They have job ranks and are responsible for different tasks. In other words, it is commonly known as the "iron rice bowl."

Shao Xiaoping has a strong sense of crisis, so she has to find a plan for her son even if she puts her life at risk. This idea is completely understandable.

Hu Pingtao said: "This is a good thing!"

Shao Xiaoping said: "It is quite troublesome if you go through the normal recruitment process. It is not certain whether you can get in. Moreover, there are so many unemployed college students now. People have to pick their brains, even if they have a master's degree, they may not be selected. Fortunately, I am in the Provincial Industrial and Commercial Bank of China.

You can make connections by getting to know people."

At this point, Hu Biyuan, who had been silent for a long time, intervened: "Mr. Shao came to me about this matter before, and I introduced her to Director Sun of the Human Resources Department of the Provincial Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. Director Sun usually interacts with us a lot.

A very straightforward person.”

Shao Xiaoping said: "The last time I invited Sun Chu to dinner, it was also in this private room. Sun Chu agreed after hearing this, saying that the matter would be taken care of by him, and I would definitely get it done."

Hu Pingtao thought for a moment and asked, "What happened next?"

Hu Biyuan rarely calls her when there are outsiders. Although she said on the phone today that she needed help with something, she didn't say what the specific matter was. Now it seems that it is probably Shao Xiaoping who is looking for a job for her son.

Things didn't go well for me.

Hu Pingtao thought: Could it be that Director Sun is a liar?

Shao Xiaoping's face looked a little ugly. She said slowly: "Sun Chu agreed at the time. I don't think he would or could lie to me. After all, he has a position in the Provincial Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. I even checked it with the Sky Eye."

According to the information he has disclosed to the public, he is indeed such a good person."

"That day at dinner, I took advantage of the fact that there was no one on either side and stuffed him with 200,000 yuan."

"I know he's not short of money, but helping people has to benefit others, right?"

Hu Pingtao frowned and asked: "Why is this so...isn't this considered accepting bribes?"

Hu Biyuan explained from the side: "Xiao Tao is overthinking. Strictly speaking, this really can't be considered a bribe. The Provincial ICBC recruits people every year, and the external recruitment plan is reported to the province and must be reviewed before it can be

The specific number of people has been approved. For example, if we recruit five people this year, they must meet the academic qualifications and match their majors before they can apply for relevant positions."

"Mr. Shao's son has no problem with his academic qualifications. He majors in finance. The Provincial ICBC is looking for someone like him."

"The exam is just a means of elimination. It will be easier to get things done if you have acquaintances there. The key lies in the business assessment and the final interview... In short, it is not paying others to do things for you as you imagine, it is just a disguised exchange of favors."

Hu Pingtao knew exactly what Hu Biyuan wanted to express.

No one committed a crime here, and no one was suspected of malfeasance in office.

This is normal human care.

If Shao Zhiwei did not have a bachelor's degree and his major had nothing to do with finance, it would be unreasonable.

Hu Pingtao smiled faintly: "Okay! I won't ask how it works. Well...sister, when you asked me to come over for dinner today, you didn't want me to listen to Sister Shao telling stories, right?"

"Where are you thinking!" Hu Biyuan rolled her eyes at him: "Mr. Shao asked me for help today. Please be patient and listen to the matter before expressing your opinion."

Shao Xiaoping continued: "Later, Chu Sun arranged for Zhiwei to go to his place to take the exam, and then there was the interview. Everything was very formal, very formal. I also felt safe in my heart, and I didn't care about it later, so that Zhiwei would be safe after the exam.

Stay at home and wait for notification."

"But for several months, there has been no news from the bank."

"I felt a little anxious, so I called Sun Chu and asked him whether Zhiwei passed the exam."

"Chief Sun answered the phone and said it was over and he had started to go to work."

Hu Pingtao quickly interrupted Shao Xiaoping, with a look of disbelief on his face: "Sister Shao, are these the person's original words?"

"Yes!" Shao Xiaoping clapped her hands on her thighs: "I felt something was wrong at the time, but Sun Chu said he was very busy, so he hung up the phone after talking for a few words. So I quickly called Biyuan

, ask her to help me with my advice.”

Hu Biyuan said: "So I arranged the dinner today and asked Director Sun to come over and ask him face to face what the situation was."

Hu Pingtao said while thinking: "This is quite strange! Since I agreed to help and accepted Sister Shao's money, there should be no problem. But the bank did not notify Sister Shao that your son was going to work.

, the other party just said on the phone that he passed the exam and was already at work... Could this be intentional prevarication?"

Hu Biyuan said: "Xiao Tao, you are the police. When Sun Chu comes over later, it is best for him to explain this matter himself. If he cannot explain it, he must return the two hundred thousand to Mr. Shao."

Hu Pingtao smiled and said: "It took a long time, sister, you asked me to be the supervisor!"
