Rebirth of financial migrant workers

Chapter 493 The tragedy of Luo Wanning's mother
"Uncle Ning, if you weren't my future father-in-law, I would have suspected that you had tricked Manjue Capital into coming here to make some money."

Ning Minghao glared at Wang Chunliang in dissatisfaction when he heard this:
"That's all nonsense. I would cheat anyone but my own family."

Then, he glanced at Ning Shuo and found that the latter was also curious. He hesitated for a long time before continuing:

"There are some things that you'd better not know. But since we've come to this point, and you two are passive participants, I'll tell you the story. Chunliang, what you're asking first is the relationship between Hedong Shanghe and me?"

"Yes, I remember that two years ago, you showed a bad attitude towards them and asked me to cut off contact with them immediately."

"To explain this, I'll start from the beginning."

Ning Minghao took a sip of lemonade to moisten his throat, then he recalled, "More than ten years ago, Mule Bank had not yet been established. At that time, I was the head of the credit department of Hedong City Credit Union."

Wang Chunliang pricked up his ears, feeling as if he had heard this beginning somewhere before.

Hearing this time point, Ning Shuo's body straightened up reflexively.

Ning Minghao didn't notice the subtle reactions of the two and continued with his topic:
“Back then, there were many more people with connections in the industry than there are now, so there were constant factional struggles.

It happened that the old president at that time was facing retirement, so the internal struggle in the bank became more intense.

At that time, I had been the head of the credit department for some time, and I was wondering if I could move up to the next level.

Since my father had great prestige in Elephant Bank, and at that time all banks were headed by Elephant Bank, there was a high possibility that I would become the new president of the credit union.

Of course, this is just a possibility. As long as there is no final decision from the province, there will be variables.

Until later, I met Wen Meiping."

Upon hearing this name, Ning Shuo, who had been behaving relatively normally just now, suddenly dropped the chopsticks in his hand and glared at Ning Minghao.

Based on the time point of the story and his brother-in-law's reaction, Wang Chunliang vaguely guessed Wen Meiping's identity.

In order not to interfere with Ning Minghao's revelation, Wang Chunliang grabbed Ning Shuo and comforted him:

"Maybe there is some secret in this. You were not very old at that time, and many of your memories may have been disturbed by the information provided by Wang Quan later. Let's listen to Uncle Ning's story."

Looking at his son who was temporarily under control, Ning Minghao sighed:

"I met Wen Meiping at a reception hosted by a client.

At that time, I was the head of the credit department, and my professional habit was to check whether new acquaintances had any credit records in our bank.

It was a coincidence that a branch bank happened to have temporarily stored its credit files at its headquarters due to a water leak in its storage room.

Among these files, there happened to be a document whose cover was a copy of Wen Meiping's ID card.

Because this woman is not only beautiful but also has a unique temperament, there is no way I would make a mistake in the photo on her ID card.

But the name on the ID card is not 'Wen Meiping'."

"Did it change its name?"

Ning Minghao shook his head:
“My first reaction was that the other party was defrauding the loan.

There is a saying that goes, when you find a cockroach in the light, there are already so many cockroaches in the dark that they can no longer hide.

At that time, I suspected that the actual loan fraud in the industry had become very serious, and then I arranged for a few confidants to take the copies of the identity cards of all the loan documents to the police station for verification.

You won’t know the results if you don’t check them, but you will be shocked if you check them.

Although I was mentally prepared in advance, the numbers involved in suspected loan fraud still shocked me.

I started drafting an official document to ask the branch below to give an explanation, but just then, someone from above contacted me.

The other party expressed his intention, both explicitly and implicitly, to make me turn a blind eye to it.

Later, Wen Meiping appeared in my office again. She did not defend her fraudulent loan behavior, but instead told me that in a few years, many urban credit unions in the province, including Hedong, would merge into mule banks.

Wang Chunliang stroked his chin and analyzed:
"The person behind this Ms. Wen is of high status. He knew the province's next plan many years in advance."

"In addition, Wen Meiping also promised me a position as a senior executive of Mule Bank in the future."

"Haha, besides the temptation of a senior executive position, the woman also used her honey to lure you, and you accepted it all, right?"

Facing his son's questioning, Ning Minghao showed great righteousness:

"Our Ning family has been upright for generations, and I am no exception.

But the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light. I don’t know how powerful the mastermind behind this is.

In order to protect myself and my family, I decided to just pretend to be compliant for now."

Ning Shuo sneered again:
"That sounds nice, but you're still afraid, right?"

Wang Chunliang patted the other person on the shoulder:

"Brother-in-law, just listening to stories is not enough. Bring Uncle Ning's good wine. I remember he hid a few bottles of 10-year-old Moutai in his study. Can you help me get them?"

Ning Shuo couldn't refuse his brother-in-law's request.

Although the other party wanted to get rid of me on purpose, I still owed him because I was framed by Wang Quan before.

After Ning Shuo left, Wang Chunliang lowered his voice:

"Uncle, no matter what your motive was, you still made a mistake at that time?"

"Our Ning family has been in the banking system for generations, so we are very principled in financial work."

"That is, I made a mistake in my relationship."

Ning Minghao raised his hand and hit Wang Chunliang on the arm, saying unhappily:

"That's called playing it by ear! I was in my thirties at the time, and I was full of courage, so I planned to verbally agree to it and see who was behind it."

"So who is it?"

"That big shot was very vigilant. Even though I surrendered verbally, he still didn't meet me. It was just that occasionally other people with some status in the province would convey their "goodwill" to me overtly or covertly. Until later, there was an opportunity. Wen Meiping also wanted me to show my face in front of that big shot, so she took the initiative to take me to the imperial capital, saying that we were going to attend a grand event, but during this period..."

Wang Chunliang saw the sadness on Ning Minghao's face and immediately understood what happened at that time, so he asked:
"Why didn't you explain it to Auntie?"

"At that time, I couldn't make my thoughts public, so there were rumors around me. These reached your aunt's ears, and she became sensitive. By the time I found out something was wrong and wanted to explain it, it was already difficult to explain clearly."

Wang Chunliang narrowed his eyes, and seemed to understand the other party's mentality at the time.

It is definitely true that they want to play coy in order to find out the mastermind behind the scenes.

But in the process of getting along, the relationship with Wen Meiping became unclear.

In this way, the tragedy that happened to Luo Wanning's mother finally had a cause and effect.

"What happens after that?"

"Because I rushed back to Hedong City immediately, I missed the chance to meet her by chance. Wen Meiping was also warned by the person behind the scenes, and there will be no such opportunity again."

"So. End of story?"

Looking at Ning Shuo who had returned from fetching wine, Ning Minghao shook his head:
"This is just the beginning of the story."
