Episode 8 recap: Zhang Jiaming Exposes Lin Qiang's Regulatory Violations

In episode 8, Hao Wei submitted a report to the head office detailing Lin Qiang's misconduct, including over a dozen failed cases of offshore fishery loans. When Xia Xin saw the documentation, she immediately summoned Lin Qiang and advised him to stop applying for loans for the offshore fishery industry upgrade, and to reconcile with Hao Wei to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Seeing the failed cases, Lin Qiang also realized that he had been too impulsive and failed to consider the risks. He gave Xia Xin all the evidence of Wenhu Group's malicious lending. Just then, Ling Lele returned home and invited Lin Qiang to attend a party.

Chen Xingyuan, Qian Cai, Zhu Fengshan and Luo Song were playing poker together when Lin Qiang called to meet with Zhu Fengshan. Lin Qiang admitted his mistakes - he had been too subjective and impulsive, without properly considering the risks of the offshore fishery project. He requested to suspend the fund application and conduct a thorough investigation before resubmitting a detailed report to the head office.

The head office had already approved the offshore fishery industry upgrade project fund. Chen Xingyuan agreed to recommend Lin Qiang to attend the fund training program. Zhu Fengshan personally drove Lin Qiang back to the Longyuan branch, and Qian Cai reminded Lin Qiang to be more thoughtful in the future.

Hao Wei applied to set up the Qinglong Mountain branch, but the head office had not responded. When he went to check on the progress with Luo Sha, he found that Luo Sha had never submitted his application. Hao Wei didn't want to deal with Lin Qiang anymore, and Luo Sha angrily berated him before he left.

The teacher's wife secretly came to see Lin Qiang, suspecting that Qian Cai had done something improper. She begged Lin Qiang to help Qian Cai turn himself in and seek leniency. Lin Qiang didn't know how to respond to the teacher's wife's plea to know Qian Cai's worst-case scenario.

Lin Qiang had someone personally teach Zheng Shuai, Zhang Jiaming and others on service etiquette, and they practiced diligently.

After the training, Zhang Jiaming expressed gratitude to Lin Qiang for finding a piano training school for his daughter. Zhang Jiaming reported that Xiao Xiao had used a card broker to apply for a credit card, and a few other female tellers had similar situations, hiding the card application records in the cosmetics cabinet.

Lin Qiang reminded him not to be a tattletale. On the weekend, Lin Qiang and Zheng Shuai got together with the female tellers to make dumplings. Lin Qiang tried to sneak a look at the cosmetics cabinet when they were distracted, but the tellers quickly pulled him away to eat the dumplings. Lin Qiang suggested inviting Zhang Jiaming to join them, but Xiao Xiao and Lin Xiaozao firmly refused. Lin Qiang wanted to see their credit card application records, and the tellers became very vigilant, suspecting that Zhang Jiaming had informed on them. Lin Qiang got very angry and severely reprimanded them, then summoned Zhang Jiaming to confront them.

Lin Qiang explicitly stated that they were one big collective and no one was allowed to do anything improper. Zhang Jiaming admitted that he had reported Xiao Xiao and the others for applying for zombie cards. Xiao Xiao had no choice but to bring out the notebook, which Lin Qiang read through from beginning to end.

Hao Wei's transfer request had still not been approved, and he was aimlessly wandering in the park. Lin Qiang proactively approached Hao Wei and asked him to return to work at the Longyuan branch, guessing that someone was behind the delay in Hao Wei's transfer.

Lin Qiang ordered the tellers who had used card brokers to apply for credit cards to return the illegal gains. They didn't have that much money at the moment, so Lin Qiang agreed to let them repay in installments.
