Chapter 94 Suitcase...Bank...No way?

She wanted to go swimming, but hadn't brought a swimsuit.

Zang Lanyi drove to the nearest mall according to the navigation.

Ling Yue found a swimwear shop and casually picked out five sets.

Afterward, she also bought a swimming cap, goggles, and a nose clip.

Zang Lanyi thought to herself, for just these few things, did she really need a suitcase to carry them?

But there was no need to question the boss's orders; just do as told.

She was just about to put the clothes into the suitcase when she heard Ling Yue say, "I have another use for the suitcase. Take me to a nearby bank."

"Huh?" Zang Lanyi was confused.

Wait.

A suitcase... a bank... no way?

Zhongcheng Bank was one of the largest banks in Huaxia, and its branches were densely located.

The car had moved less than 500 meters out of the garage before they saw a branch office.

Ling Yue led the way, while Zang Lanyi pulled the suitcase inside.

Because this was a large commercial district, there were many people there to withdraw money.

The waiting area was packed with people, all queueing up and waiting to be called.

Ling Yue was stunned for three seconds.

Since the rise of mobile payments, she hadn't withdrawn money in person for a long time... she hadn't expected there to be so many people!

All the bank staff were extremely busy. This place wasn't like a clothing store where a sales assistant might take a moment to greet you: "Feel free to look around, you can try things on."

Ling Yue looked around.

Finally, she walked straight toward the bank's security station.

The security guard had just finished explaining to a hard-of-hearing elderly man that he needed to queue to withdraw money when he saw Ling Yue walking over with a puzzled expression.

These young people nowadays, why is their eyesight so bad? He subconsciously pointed a finger somewhere: "To get a number, go to the self-service ticket machine by the pillar in front. You'll see it once you turn the corner. Remember to use your ID card."

"... Sir, could you please contact your manager for me?" Ling Yue didn't mind the security guard's perfunctory attitude; she smiled and took a red card out of her bag.

The red card lay on the white counter, looking particularly conspicuous.

"What kind of card is this?" The security guard was completely puzzled. A new card design from headquarters?

That wasn't right. All new card designs were sent to the branches first before they could be issued to customers. Logically, he should have seen it before.

He squinted his eyes, picked up the card, and took a closer look.

The three digits '001' in the bottom right corner were swept by a flash of light. The moment the shimmer vanished, the security guard felt his heart struck by something.

He flipped through a manual under the counter.

He looked up at the red card, then down at the manual. He did this three times. He was certain!

The security guard's eyes widened. "Please wait a moment, Miss."

He stepped out from behind the counter and rushed into the crowd.

Before long, he dragged back a tall, thin man wearing business attire. "Xiao Wang, this card, it belongs to this lady."

Relationship Manager Xiao Wang had been serving a client when he was pulled over by the security guard.

He had been dragged so abruptly that he had twisted his neck.

Relationship Manager Xiao Wang held his neck with one hand and took the card from the security guard with the other.

"What kind of card is it?" he muttered, frowning.

The next second, he was blinded by the '001'.

The moment he closed his eyes, he bowed low. "Distinguished Red, Red Card holder, hello. How may I assist you?"

Good heavens! A while ago, news came from headquarters that a Red Card had been activated.

The leadership of all sub-branches and branches had received this news, but the identity of the cardholder was confidential, and they didn't know exactly who had activated the Red Card.

Everyone had even gathered to discuss it. They were so envious; how could someone that incredibly wealthy have any worries in life!

At the same time, they felt that it was impossible for such a person to come to a small branch to handle business. Who would have thought—it was unimaginable!

A Red Card client had actually come to their tiny branch?

What kind of business were they doing that they couldn't contact their dedicated service team?

Oh my god! He hadn't been negligent, had he? In just a few seconds, various guesses flashed through his mind.

People around were already looking over.

Ling Yue raised her hand to half-cover her face. "Take me to a private room."

Why were these bank employees so dazed?

"Oh, oh, oh! Okay! This way, please!" Relationship Manager Xiao Wang finally reacted and hurriedly led the way.

Why had he just stood there like a fool? Stupid legs, stupid brain!

Xiao Wang felt his office was too small to accommodate such a big shot as Ling Yue, so he took her to a conference room that could hold about 50 people.

"Please wait a moment, I will go notify the branch manager." Relationship Manager Xiao Wang did want to show his face in front of such a big client, but his rank wasn't high enough.

It was only natural for a Red Card client to be received by the President of the Head Office.

Coming to a sub-branch, of course, the branch manager had to receive them personally; otherwise, it would be disrespectful to the Red Card client. If word got back to headquarters, he would be reprimanded.

Ling Yue was speechless.

She simply wanted to withdraw a little money, and since the money from the ATM didn't come in bundles, she had thought about going to the counter.

It wasn't much money, so she didn't want to contact Manager Li and make a big fuss.

But when she arrived at the branch, she realized a huge number of people were queueing, and she didn't want to wait in line, which was why she took out the Red Card.

She just wanted to use the express lane!

Ling Yue pressed a hand to her forehead. "No need. I only have one thing to do, and I'll leave as soon as it's done."

The relationship manager paused, turned around respectfully, and walked back to Ling Yue. "Please go ahead."

"I want to withdraw one million."

After saying that, Ling Yue took out her salary card.

There was now 5.1 billion in this card.

She had transferred the odd change from the account ending in 4456 to her salary card. Now, there was exactly 30 billion in the account ending in 4456.

Relationship Manager Xiao Wang naturally nodded in agreement.

He took the card, left the room, and ran quickly to the branch manager's office to tell him the news.

The branch manager spat out his imported tea, spraying it all over the floor.

"A... a Red Card?! Have you verified it?" The branch manager still maintained a shred of rationality.

Relationship Manager Xiao Wang shook his head. "I didn't verify it, but... it shouldn't be fake, right?"

Who would risk being blacklisted by the bank to forge it?

"Did you bring the Red Card?" the branch manager asked.

Relationship Manager Xiao Wang spread his hands.

He looked down. Damn!

He hadn't returned the Red Card?

Was it because he was too nervous just now, so he forgot?

This was going to kill him.

"Here, you verify it." Relationship Manager Xiao Wang held the Red Card with both hands and placed it on the branch manager's desk.

The branch manager used the internal verification device and inserted the card. With a 'beep' sound:

[Card Number: 001 Type: Red Card Cardholder: Ling * ID Number: ]

The computer screen displayed basic information with masked characters. This was based on the protection of Red Card clients, and another point was that small branches simply had no authority to view more information.

The branch manager, with an excited heart, raised a trembling hand and carefully withdrew the card.

Under the expectant gaze of Relationship Manager Xiao Wang, he parted his lips: "It's real."

Relationship Manager Xiao Wang opened his mouth wide, his philtrum stretched long.

The branch manager took two deep breaths, calmed down, and asked, "What is this Ms. Ling's request?"

Relationship Manager Xiao Wang's brain was currently crashing.

He was shaken awake by the branch manager.

The branch manager asked again, "What is this Ms. Ling's request?"

"Oh, she, she wants to withdraw one million."

The branch manager patted Xiao Wang on the shoulder. "You go prepare the funds, and order someone to buy some desserts and take them upstairs."

After saying that, he turned, opened the bookshelf behind him, stood on tiptoes, and took out a red tin box. "Brew this tea."

It cost nearly ten thousand per jin! He couldn't even bear to drink it himself.

"Okay, okay!" Relationship Manager Xiao Wang hurried away.

The branch manager stood in front of the mirror, tidied his appearance for quite a while, and then stepped outside.

Wait... where did Xiao Wang take the person? He didn't say! Good grief.

The branch manager searched room by room...

... In the end, the withdrawal was completed under the enthusiastic reception of the branch manager.

The suitcase wasn't even full.

Understandable, as Ling Yue didn't have any experience carrying money in a suitcase after all.

Ling Yue had repeatedly instructed them to keep it low-key.

That was the only reason she wasn't given a formal send-off when she left the branch.

Watching the car drive far away until even the tail of the car was invisible, the branch manager finally perked up again.

"Our little branch can now say it's been visited by a big shot! If this gets out, the other branches will be dying of envy."

The relationship manager sighed. "This Ms. Ling doesn't seem like a Red Card client at all; she doesn't have any airs.

After this experience, I shouldn't be so nervous when I receive Red Card-level clients in the future."

The branch manager looked at him like he was an idiot.

"Does she need to put on airs with us?

The wealthier people are, the less likely they are to have emotions toward unimportant people.

Besides, do you think you can receive clients of this level every day? Keep dreaming!

But this Ms. Ling is indeed very kind...

That person beside her must be her personal assistant, right? She ate all the desserts in one go, and Ms. Ling didn't say a single word.

And my tea—Ms. Ling didn't even get a sip; it all went into that personal assistant's mouth."

In the car.

"Achoo!"

Private assistant Zang Lanyi sniffled.

The cold snap in early spring was truly chilly.
