Chapter 1544

He Wei went to Singapore this time, and things went smoothly, which was appreciated by Mr. Ghent, the president of their branch.

Mr. Ghent is a white Englishman in his early fifties. He is very tall and a little bald. His appearance is dignified, but his character is worrying.

The bank she worked for was called "Leighton bank". She used to start with gold and silver ware. Later, Mr. Leighton and his wife married. After the two banks united, they established the current big bank.

Leighton bank has 98 branches in the world and four in Asia.

The Hong Kong Branch has about 300 employees, but there are only 11 women, of whom only two are Asian women.

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

The other is He Wei.

Mr. Ghent, the branch head, likes Asian beauty very much. Every time he sees Zhang Zhu and He Wei, his eyes shine.

Zhang Zhu's family is so prominent that he dare not be frivolous to him.

He Wei was recommended by the people from the head office. He didn't know the details of He Wei. He didn't dare to make a rash move for the time being, but he was often a little provocative.

He Wei never dared to reveal his identity. He was afraid that Mr. Ghent would aggravate the harassment of her if he knew that she was born in poverty.

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

Others asked if they were their own sisters.

He Wei hesitated: "the relationship is very close."

It must be very expensive to save so much money. In order to prove the truth of what he said, He Wei volunteered to do it.

She really did it and said that she was sent back by Gu Qingzhou's plane.

Mr. Ghent got the document, showed some caution on his face, and was a lot polite to He Wei, which was kind of polite on official business.

"I wish I could last a little longer and don't be exposed so quickly." He wei walked out of the bank, only temporarily relieved.

She heard that Mr. Ghent's term of office is five years, and this year is the fourth year.

While waiting for Mr. Ghent's transfer, He Wei waited for her boyfriend to come to Hong Kong.

When she gets married, she'll be better.

In today's world, it's too difficult for women to do business, especially those who are a little beautiful. Those bosses or male colleagues think that if you don't teach your husband and children at home, you just send them to make fun of them. They don't belittle you, as if they have failed you.

He Wei thought that when she got married and worked for a long time, her situation would certainly change.

Her boyfriend is also the child of a very ordinary family. There are many brothers and sisters in her family. It was his uncle who funded him to go to such an expensive medical school.

In such a family, her boyfriend will certainly not object to her work.

In this way, He Wei's mood has improved a lot.

She got off the tram from the next street and just saw a small butcher's 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. It's about thirty square meters. It's very comfortable for her to live alone.

When I got home, I cooked the ribs and was about to take the juice out of the pot when someone knocked at the door.

He Wei was surprised.

She walked carefully to the door and asked who?

The man outside the door said in English: "young lady, what are you cooking, so fragrant?"

The voice is old, with a bit lazy and low.

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

He had a very poor and decadent life, his clothes were dirty and wrinkled, his hair and beard were messy, and he almost lost his face. When he met his neighbor, he didn't say hello and passed by as if he couldn't see his wrong body.

Compared with the other two households, the old Englishman is extremely quiet and never bothers the residents.

He Wei opened the door.

Sure enough, I saw him standing at the door.

His body exudes a faint smell of wine, and there are also ignorant people who have just woke up. It may be that he has drunk wine for a day, but now he is hungry when he wakes up.

"It's braised spare ribs." He Wei said, "I put a lot of ginger and garlic. Can you eat it?"

Almost all the Englishmen she knows don't like ginger, and garlic is reluctantly.

However, braised meat can not be separated from these.

"I like ginger and garlic. Give me a bowl." Said the old man.

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

But the old man didn't go in. He stood at the door and said, "gentlemen don't enter single women's rooms, especially young women."

He Wei smiled: "then I'll fill you a bowl. Wait a minute."

The old man added, "please close the door before you go to Sheng. Young people should know how to protect themselves."

He Wei was stunned. Instead, he thought he was reasonable and closed the door first.

She quickly filled a bowl of braised pork ribs and a large bowl of rice. She brought it to him: "the rest of the soup is mixed with rice. It's delicious."

The old man picked it up.

Early the next morning, before he Wei went to work, he saw two more bowls at his door, one of which contained a piece of chocolate candy.

She took out the sugar and went to work happily.

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

He praised He Wei's ribs and said they were the most delicious he had ever eaten.

"I'll cook braised pork at the weekend and I'll give you one at that time." He Wei said generously.

She asked the old man where he came from England 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. I suddenly want to write a book and wander around. I happen to be in Hong Kong. The wine here is very delicious.

My wife and I have been married for 40 years. She shaves my beard every morning. It was also in the morning when she was ill. That morning, two dogs we had kept for twelve years followed her.

I lost everything in one day and didn't want to stay in London any more, so I decided to look around and drink and write poetry like I did when I was young. " Said the old man.

At this point, there was a deep sadness on his face.

He Wei heard him talk about his wife and his dog, but didn't mention his children and grandchildren. Maybe not. Therefore, she didn't ask any more questions, but said, "your ideal is very romantic."

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

He smiled and said, "work hard."

"Work is not ideal, it's survival. Do you work at Leighton bank?" Asked the old man.

"You know?"

"Once you went to work in the morning and took the file bag with Leighton's stamp." The old man said.

He Wei was surprised.

It's an internal stamp. Outsiders must not know it.

"Have you ever worked in Leighton, too?" He Wei was a little surprised.

The old man sighed: "yes. The failed thing wasted me so much time. It's not worth it. It's meaningless except to make money. If I had written poetry earlier, I must be a poet now."

He Wei is neither laughing nor laughing. She paid some respect to the bank and didn't follow the old man to slander it.
