Chapter 1544 He Wei's Work

This time He Wei went to Singapore, things went smoothly and was praised by their branch president Mr. Gent.

Mr. Gent is a white British man. He is in his early fifties this year. He is very tall and a little bald. His appearance is so handsome, but his character is worrying.

The bank she worked for was called "Leytoner Bank". She started out as a gold and silverware. Later, Mr. Leitoner and his wife married. After the two banks joined forces, they established the current big bank.

Leidener Bank has 98 branches around the world and four in Asia.

There are about 300 employees in the Hong Kong branch, but there are only eleven women, including only two Asian women.

One of them is Zhang Zhu, two years older than He Wei, and is the daughter of a wealthy businessman in Hong Kong. Her cousin is a famous doctor named Luo Ailin, and she also knows Gu Qingzhou's sister-in-law Pei Cheng.

The other one is He Wei.

Mr. Gent, the branch president, likes beauties with Asian faces very much. Every time he sees Zhang Zhu and He Wei, his eyes shine.

Zhang Zhu's family is prominent, and he dare not be frivolous to him.

He Wei was recommended by someone from the headquarters. He didn't know He Wei's background and did not dare to take action rashly for the time being, so he often teased him a little verbal.

He Wei never dared to reveal his identity, for fear that Mr. Gent would aggravate the harassment of her when he knew that she was poor.

Therefore, when the bank discussed the batch of gold bars under Gu Qingzhou's name, He Wei deliberately said: "This is Mrs. Si's, she is my sister."

Others asked if they were their own sister.

He Wei stammered: "The relationship is very close."

It is definitely expensive to save so much money. In order to prove that what he said was true, He Wei volunteered to do this.

She really did it, and said that she was sent back by Gu Qingzhou.

Mr. Gent received the document and showed a bit of caution on his face. He was much more polite to He Wei, which was the kind of polite and polite official business.

"I hope I can hold on for a longer time and not be exposed to my origin so soon." He Wei walked out of the bank, only breathed a sigh of relief for a while.

She heard that Mr. Gent had a term of five years, and this year was the fourth.

While waiting for Mr. Ghent to be transferred, He Wei was waiting for her boyfriend to come to Hong Kong quickly.

After she gets married, she will probably be better.

In this world, it is too difficult for women to do careers, especially those who are a little pretty. Those bosses or male colleagues think that you are not taking care of your husband and children at home, and they just come to their door to make fun of them. If you don’t say a few words to you, it seems that you have let you down.

He Wei thought that when she got married and worked longer, her situation would definitely change a little.

Her boyfriend is also a very ordinary child, with many brothers and sisters in the family. It was his uncle who supported him to study such an expensive medical department.

With such a family, my boyfriend will definitely not object to her work.

Thinking about it this way, He Wei's mood improved a lot.

She got off the tram from the next street and happened to see a small butcher shop around the corner. Thinking that there was no food at home, she bought two kilograms of small ribs.

He Wei's house has thin walls and small space, about thirty square meters, so it's quite comfortable for her to live alone.

After I got home, I cooked the ribs and was about to collect the juice and out of the pot when someone suddenly knocked on the door.

He Wei was surprised.

She walked carefully to the door and asked who?

But the person outside the door spoke English: "Young lady, what are you cooking? It smells so good?"

His voice was old, with a bit of laziness and depression.

He Wei knew that this was an old British man in the room next to her. She went to work several times in the morning and came back from buying wine.

He lived a very depressed and decadent life, his clothes were dirty and wrinkled, his hair and beard were messy, and he almost disappeared. When he met his neighbor, he did not say hello, and he passed by him without hesitation.

Compared to the other two households, this old British man was very quiet and never disturbed the people.

He Wei opened the door.

Sure enough, I saw him standing at the door.

He exuded a faint smell of wine, and he was also confused when he had just woken up. Maybe he had drunk wine for a day, but now he woke up and is hungry.

"It's braised pork ribs." He Weidao, "I have put a lot of ginger and garlic. Can you eat it?"

The British people she knows almost don’t like to eat ginger, and garlic is also barely enough.

However, braised pork cannot be separated from these.

"I like ginger and garlic, please give me a bowl." said the old man.

He Wei said: "Okay, come in and eat, I didn't eat either."

The old man did not walk in and stood at the door and said, "The gentleman will not enter the single lady's room, especially the young lady."

He Wei smiled: "Then I'll serve you a bowl, please wait."

The old man said again: "Please close the door before going to Sheng. Young people should know how to protect themselves."

He Wei was stunned for a moment, but instead felt that his words were reasonable, so he closed the door first.

She quickly served a bowl of braised pork ribs, and then served a large bowl of rice, and gave it to him: "The remaining soup is mixed with rice, it is delicious."

The old man took it.

The next morning, before going to work, He Wei saw two more bowls at his door, one of which contained a piece of chocolate candy.

She took out the candy and ate it, and happily went to work.

That night, when she came back from get off work, she met the old man again on the trail downstairs. He was still dressed in a mess and carried two bottles of wine in his hand.

He praised He Wei's ribs and said that it was the most delicious he had ever eaten.

"I will make braised pork on the weekend, and I will give you one at that time." He Wei said generously.

She asked the old man where he was from the UK and why he came to Hong Kong and the rest of his family?

The old man said he was from London.

"I've been busy for most of my life, and suddenly I want to write a book, so I think I'm wandering around. I happened to be in Hong Kong, and the wine here is very delicious.

My wife and I have been married for forty years. She shaves for me every morning, and it is also the same when she is sick. That morning, two dogs we had raised for twelve years followed her.

I lost everything within a day and never wanted to stay in London again, so I decided to go around and drink and write poetry like I did when I was young." The old man said.

Speaking of this, there was a deep sadness on his face.

He Wei heard him talk about his wife and his dog, but he didn't mention his children and grandchildren. Maybe there wasn't, so she didn't ask any more questions and just said: "Your ideal is very romantic."

The old man suddenly asked, "Young lady, what are your ideals?"

He smiled and said, "Work well."

"Work is not ideal, that is survival. Are you working at Leidenle Bank?" the old man asked.

"You know, too?"

"Once you went to work in the morning, the document bag you got was Layton's stamp." The old man said.

He Wei was surprised.

That is an internal marker, and outsiders must not recognize it.

"You have worked in Leidenle, too?" He Wei was a little surprised.

The old man sighed: "Yes. The failure thing wasted a lot of time. It was not worth it. It had no meaning except making money. If I had written poetry earlier, I would definitely be a poet now."

He Wei was both amused and sarcastic. She had some respect for the bank and did not follow the old man to slander it.
