"Good morning, Mr Bennett!"

A bank employee was locking his door when Bennett's car stopped next to him. He had to stop his work immediately, pay attention and take the initiative to say good morning.

Recently, people have found Bennett's mood is very high. He is easier to deal with than ever before, and he is also very passionate and motivated in his work.

This also makes it difficult for bank employees not to compare Bennett, who is full of work passion, with Mr. Joe griman, who is low-key and almost has no sense of existence.

When people don't compare, they haven't noticed any big problems, but when they compare, they find that if Mr. Bennett really wants to take over Mr. Joe grimman's job, it is not unacceptable to the people in the bank.

In institutions such as banks, hilltops are actually very popular. People don't like cadres from branches and headquarters. They prefer those who slowly rise from the grass-roots level.

This kind of emotional resistance and demand mostly comes from the interpersonal relationship, but on this issue, they all stand on Bennett's side.

"You're early!" Bennett opened the door and replied, saying the other party's name, which filled the face of the bank staff on the other side with some light.

The two nodded and separated. Bennett kept greeting others on the way to the office. He was in a great mood.

He went to an opera with Annie last night. He could see that Annie didn't like some serious places like the opera house, nor did she like opera, but it was the most important link in the life of high society.

What educated people talk about most of the time is related to art. They will discuss opera, oil painting and all the things related to these. Therefore, if they want to integrate into the upper class society, they must first improve their literacy and taste ①.

Don't touch those vulgar things again.

Although Anne was impatient and not very stable, at least she could let her ass sit on the chair and accompany him through this wonderful night. Then they applauded the wonderful performance of the opera actors, walked in the streets under the stars, and had dinner together.

He watched Anne quickly change from a stripper girl to a member of the upper class society in line with his aesthetics, which made him very happy, especially the feeling of domination, which filled Bennett's lack of men and women and family affection all the time.

This is like a real life, a perfect life.

As soon as he entered the office, the secretary brought coffee. Before, he was a little interested in his secretary, but now he is not so interested. You know, Nicole is much better than such a woman's watch.

Without hesitation, he took the coffee and asked the Secretary to close the door when he went out. He began to deal with his work.

Career, family, double harvest, nothing can make a man feel happier than this.

Immersed in his work, Bennett quickly finished some simple work, followed by "big" work. People in the branch like to use the word "big" to describe the amount of work.

Finally, he has to apply to the bank for a venue for auction. If the city hall does not specify it, the last thing is to fill in the invitation card and do a good job in the auction publicity.

In fact, there are many interesting small means in this regard. In society, people can often hear people say that the assets auctioned at so and so auction are very cheap, just like white picking, but this kind of hearing is always heard, and it is difficult for ordinary people to participate.

The publicity of the bank will never appear in newspapers or anywhere, but only in the internal announcement of the bank, which cuts off the informed situation of the external society.

There are probably only two kinds of people who can really participate in such an auction. One is the bank staff themselves and their relatives and friends. If there are pieces and cheap things in the auction, these people will become the mainstream. For example, the price of official cars after some enterprises go bankrupt can't even compare with scrap iron here!

There are also people who are invited by the bank. These people are often people who have good cooperative relations with the bank or have huge deposits in the bank. They meet the invitation criteria of the bank - they have enough money to take out.

As for others, they can only "hear" about it, and then envy it. As for participation?

That will never happen.

In addition to asking the president to do it in person, other things can be handled in a "draft" way, that is, write some opinions and give a specific direction and goal, and the rest can be done by others.

For example, it is impossible to apply for an auction site. Bennett himself went to the city hall to contact the application, or coordinated with other departments to use the bank's own site. It was all done by those outside his office.

I thought the matter would be solved soon, but a problem he didn't expect appeared.

"There is no Joe grimman's signature on it..." this is the answer given by the president after reviewing his handling results. "Joe grimman, as the director of bank credit department and the director of auction, you must get his consent before I can sign this document!"

The bank president threw the document back on the table, "the object of our cooperation is the city hall, not a department within the bank, we must follow the rules!" he said, and straightened the triangular nameplate facing Bennett on the table, with the title of "bank president" written on it.

Bennett has worked in the branch for so many years. Of course, he knows what the president means. Of course, he has not misunderstood. This is dissatisfaction with himself. After all, the president has made it clear that this is the rule.

And his signature must be placed behind or below Joe griman to show his respect for the rules in the bank and the potential rules of society.

If you don't respect these rules, the rules will hit you in the face.

Bennett was old enough to challenge authority. He immediately left the president's office with the document and found Joe griman in another office.

When he opened the door, Joe griman was playing golf in his office. He had a twisted fairway about thirty feet long (ten meters) and five feet wide (one meter five), and a portable golf fairway about ten feet in diameter.

This fairway is very popular in many places. Golf is gradually replacing Polo as one of the "new aristocratic" sports, which is also a change in society. There is always some generation gap and collision between the new generation of capitalists and the old capitalists.

How keen the old generation is to play polo, so how keen the new generation of capitalists are to golf.

When the door opened, Joe griman didn't immediately stop what he was doing. He still stood at the hitting point and kept calculating how hard he needed to get the ball into the hole.

"Wait a minute, wait until I finish this ball!"

When he finished speaking, almost like a textbook putt, the golf ball immediately rolled out along the fairway and slowly approached the hole until it fell in!

"Beautiful ball!" Joe griman commented, put the club in the club barrel, untied his anti-skid gloves and walked to his chair.

① : compare Lynch's contact with the upper class society with Bennett's "upper class society", so as to show that Bennett's contact with the upper class society is not the real upper class society, so as to highlight that in fact, he is also dominated like Anne, but he dominates Anne, and his domination is hypocrisy, fame and wealth. It also names the real core of this relationship and implies the result.
