The first 200 lines.
Deju Renhe always presents the most suitable candidates
to HR managers.
I must give a salute to that.
However, Chairman Zheng
I wonder if you have given enough consideration to one issue.
What is it?
Zhao Jian Ting is over 40 years old and a talented man with good looks.
He is also a senior executive.
Why has he remained single?
Single?
We have noticed that.
But is there a negative correlation?
Perhaps not.
Chairman Zheng, imagine sitting down to dinner
with a table of people happily conversing.
There's one person you don't know who hasn't said a word.
Although that doesn't keep you from eating and drinking your fill
it doesn't mean you don't want to know who he is.
Very true.
Have you made contact yet?
Excuse me.
It has to do with him.
Hello, Manager Tian. How are things?
Just got off the phone. Guess what?
It was completely unexpected. He was so welcoming. I was shocked.
Really? What did he say?
He agreed to see you in person
but stressed that did not mean he wished to change jobs.
It's simply to learn more.
It's already second best to being completely open.
His attitude is already considerably good.
Understood. He wants us to back out on our own.
Did he leave contact information?
He left his number.
The number from before is the secretary. He left his personal number this time.
All right.
That's all for now. Maintain confidentiality.
My assistant just had contact with him.
What was the result?
Not optimistic.
But you don't have to worry. This is our problem.
By the way, City Commercial Bank is paying him a 1.6 million yuan salary.
Your offer of two million yuan isn't distinctively attractive.
But we offer better growth opportunities.
Considering the personal banking business of high net worth individuals
we are undoubtedly a leader in China.
After he works three years in a Beijing bank subbranch
who knows what his future will hold?
Chairman Zheng, those in your field
value your candidate's future potential more than money, right?
I certainly understand such a basic principle.
But haven't you noticed
this candidate has very strict demands on his plans for personal development?
From the college he attended
to the institution he interned for after graduation
to the publication, time, and topics of his academic writings
to being retail agent at Wachovia Bank
it can be seen he has a clear view of the bigger picture.
After returning to China
he first chose retail banking
then switched over to City Commercial Bank
and is now subbranch bank president.
He is 41 years old. He was in school until he was 30.
It only took 11 years for him to reach the position he is in now.
I believe I won't need to speak to him about his future plans.
It's extremely possible he'll be the one to tell them to me and you.
Would you like tea?
First separate into England and United States sections.
Yes, begin with his undergraduate career.
Copy this Cambridge section and paste it before Barclays Bank.
Right.
Add parentheses behind Zhao Jian Ting's name.
Input his English name, Eric Zhao.
Pu Jian, how is this part translated?
This is a paper he published in "The Atlantic" magazine.
"Three Misconceptions About Fitch Ratings Post-crisis."
VC Jia, Zhao agreed to meet.
Straightforward, right?
It's completely unexpected.
Why is it unexpected? Doesn't it match with your analysis?
The online products he released kept being called off by superiors.
They're rather conservative.
He wishes for a more open-minded platform.
He's still a subbranch bank president.
He could have put on an act and pretended to be aloof
so we'd pursue him more enthusiastically.
Instead, he was eager and jumped at the chance.
Those higher up on the ladder are actually more straightforward.
Are we being too conservative?
Where's Chairman Zheng?
He went to Far East Bank
to see Zhao Jian Ting's previous supervisor.
He jumped from Far East to City Commercial Bank.
Far East Bank.
A respected retail banking manager.
When you interviewed Zhao Jian Ting, what did you like about him?
There were several things.
Mainly, he had practical experience at Wachovia Bank in the United States.
He has also been a retail agent in other states.
How was he in the two and a half years he worked for you?
Very good.
How else could he have become a retail banking manager
when he was only in his 30s?
He is a sensitive cat.
- Cat? - A cat.
Every person has a corresponding animal.
Why did he leave later on?
You're in headhunting. What other reason could there be?
He was dissatisfied with his situation.
- A headhunter was involved? - Most likely not.
He has a very demanding mother
who was a high school dean for over 10 years.
He had to go wherever his mother pointed.
She took no rest for her son's progress and growth.
She later met a student's parent who was a head at City Commercial Bank.
That's when he switched jobs.
He was first manager of network planning.
I think it was in 2013 when he became subbranch bank president.
Fast, right?
He is a capable person.
He also knows foreign languages.
Yes, he lived abroad for over 10 years.
He's proficient in English, French, and Spanish.
How come bank business is done in a place like this now?
It's due to influence from online businesses.
They know how to enjoy life.
At a summit meeting, I took note of their PPT work area.
They're indeed advanced.
By the way, I also saw Zhao Jian Ting at the summit meeting.
He didn't seem to be in a good mood.
Was he the one to approach you?
To be honest, he didn't. We found him.
Also...
Did you ever care that Zhao Jian Ting was single?
There are many single people nowadays. I've never cared about that.
Then do you know why he has remained single?
- Take a guess. - No idea.
I'm also still single. Why don't you tell me why?
Why do I keep thinking about getting married?
Are you getting married?
No.
But I must have a girlfriend.
You don't say!
Don't assume those of us who are unmarried are unwanted pieces of meat.
Zhao Jian Ting has plenty of women hanging around him.
I see.
It's just a regular meeting. Is it necessary to avoid being seen?
It is our responsibility.
President Zhao, more people means more chances of being seen.
We need to take preventive measures.
We don't want to cause you any inconveniences.
Even without being so secretive, I trust you are professionals.
We're just doing our jobs. It's not for show.
Please understand, President Zhao.
Okay, then. Tell me how we'll meet.
I'm parking right now. I'll send you a location soon.
What the heck? A dental clinic?
How is Zhao Jian Ting's meeting coming along?
It's been set.
Tian Yao sent this.
Don't you think things are going too smoothly with Zhao Jian Ting?
Are they?
That means our luck has turned.
Drive.
There won't be any disturbances for two hours, will there?
There won't be. We have a membership system.
All appointments need to be booked ahead of time.
We don't have any clients today.
My husband said to thank you.
If you hadn't referred him to Feng Xun
he wouldn't have become a shareholder of a public company.
It was mutually beneficial.
If not for your husband
Feng Xun's IPO wouldn't have proceeded so smoothly.
- My boss has arrived. Please wait. - Okay.
Chairman Zheng.
What's your strategy for choosing a place like this?
Let's talk inside.
This is Ms. Liu. He is Chairman Zheng.
- Hello, Chairman Zheng. - Hello.
Go ahead and go inside. I'll wait for him here.
Okay.
This way, please.
This place is quite charming.
Will there be other clients in the afternoon?
Don't worry, nobody else is coming today.
Is there anything else you need?
Can we use this tea set when my friend arrives?
Of course. We have a variety of teas available.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
Manager Tian has helped my husband before. Take your time.
- Manager Tian? - Yes, from De Ren.
I've seen your picture before.
In person, you have even more of a gentleman's grace
that can't be captured in photos.
Thank you.
You're an expert. Your first compliment is the perfect amount of flattery.
Not at all. I'm speaking the truth.
Is the tea not to your liking?
Taiwanese Braggart's Tea.
