31: Chapter 31 Ting is troubled
Su Nange was lying on his bed, letting his mind wander, when he was suddenly pulled back to reality by a phone call.
It was Lester; he knew that Su Nange had finished buying the property and was now going to tell him how to make a fortune.
And this way of making a fortune was simply absurd: robbing a bank.
However, Su Nange knew that this chubby guy was a criminal genius.
Every one of his plans could be called a textbook example of the perfect crime.
Places like banks were just like his own personal vault in his eyes.
Thus, Su Nange got up from his bed, went into the planning room, and opened the mission interface.
The words "Fleeca Bank Heist" were particularly eye-catching.
Su Nange did not hesitate and clicked on it immediately.
However, the familiar matchmaking interface did not appear at all.
Instead, there was a knock at his apartment door.
The system prompted him to go and open the door for the visitor.
Su Nange was puzzled; what was going on?
Had the mission flow completely changed?
If he wasn't familiar with the steps and ended up dying, what would he do?
Opening the door with confusion, Su Nange was stunned the moment he saw the visitor.
There were two people outside, led by a chubby, bald man leaning on a cane.
This was Lester, and Su Nange was not surprised.
What surprised Su Nange was the person standing behind the chubby man.
Su Nange was also very familiar with this person; it was Michael De Santa, one of the protagonists from the GTA 5 story mode.
Su Nange was both pleasantly surprised and astonished!
If this guy was his teammate, what was there to worry about?
However, why would he appear in the online mode?
Su Nange brought the two of them to the planning room, and Michael began to tell his story.
Online mode had a special feature: all player-controlled characters were "mutes" who didn't speak.
Yet they responded through body language, making everything seem natural.
Michael said that he had recently offended a big shot due to some family matters.
He had collapsed the guy's stilt house in the Hollywood Hills and needed to pay a large sum of money in compensation.
That was why he had found Lester, hoping to find a way to make some money.
That was why they had decided to rob Fleeca Bank.
And because Su Nange had responded, Lester wanted to facilitate the two of them teaming up to go.
When Su Nange heard this, he was surprised.
Wasn't this exactly what happened to Michael in the story mode?
Now it had actually been moved to the online mode.
Before, he was the player controlling Michael, but now, through this method, he had become his teammate.
It felt quite special.
Then, Lester began to introduce the details of the heist mission.
These were quite similar to the steps Su Nange had played before.
Before starting the heist, two setup missions needed to be completed.
One was to go to the local Korean gang and steal the Kuruma.
The other was to accompany Lester to scout the perimeter of the bank and crack the vault's encryption system.
Originally, these were things that the player had to complete alone.
But here, Lester said that Su Nange and Michael should choose, each completing one of them.
The first one required a firefight with Korean NPCs and had some risks, so Su Nange definitely didn't want to choose that.
The second one was safe; he just needed to play a game of Snake (a mini-game to crack the system).
Sure enough, an option appeared on Su Nange's screen, allowing him to choose which one to complete.
Su Nange had nothing to hesitate about, so he decisively chose the second one: scouting Fleeca Bank.
After assigning the tasks, Lester said there was no time to lose, so they would split up and act tomorrow.
Su Nange watched the two walk out of his apartment, muttering to himself: It looks like I really have to wait until tomorrow?
Did it have to be this realistic?
However, the system gave no further prompts, so Su Nange could only wait.
He played some races today and earned a pitiful amount of money.
Then he sold a car and made another hundred thousand or so.
The next morning, Ye Tingting arrived at the bank early as usual to attend the morning meeting.
However, today, the branch Manager Hua scolded Ye Tingting, clearly in a bad mood.
Ye Tingting was confused; where had she gone wrong?
The branch manager was an elderly man who looked at Ye Tingting with a serious expression: "Tingting, I told you to properly maintain your clients. You must make him convert his demand deposits into wealth management and fixed deposits."
"Have you been doing your job properly?"
Ye Tingting stood there and asked timidly: "Manager Hua? What happened?"
Manager Hua raised his voice even more: "What happened? The deposits you were managing yesterday dropped by over 3 million in one night! Let's see how you're going to complete this month's performance targets now!"
After the meeting, several female colleagues in the bank seemed a bit gleeful about her misfortune.
Originally, they had been a bit jealous of this young and beautiful girl.
Plus, Ye Tingting had always been well-liked by Manager Hua, which made everyone feel unbalanced.
But now that Manager Hua had criticized her by name, how could these women not feel satisfied?
However, on the surface, they still pretended to be deeply sympathetic to her situation.
Ye Tingting went to her counter and took the form issued by the manager.
Ye Tingting was also confused; what was this guy doing? Spending over 3 million in one night? Was he crazy?
But she didn't know what he was actually doing right now.
She thought about calling him after work today to ask, or going directly to his apartment to find him.
However, before she had served many customers, a director came over to find Ye Tingting: "The manager wants you to come to his office."
This branch was not large, and the administrative area and the business hall were not on the same floor.
Ye Tingting walked up the dedicated staircase, wondering why there were suddenly so many things happening today.
Ye Tingting knocked on the door and found that in the manager's small office, there was also a man with an extraordinary air sitting there.
Ye Tingting was surprised; why was he here?
The manager, who had just scolded Ye Tingting in the morning, immediately greeted her with a smile when he saw her arrive.
He greeted her: "Tingting, come in, come in."
The man saw Ye Tingting and smiled: "Tingting, we meet again."
Ye Tingting was still a bit confused: "Li, President Li, why are you here?"
Manager Hua heard this, immediately patted Ye Tingting, smiling as brightly as a chrysanthemum: "Tingting, it's because President Li recognizes your value. He came here specifically to see you today!"
Ye Tingting didn't know how to answer, and she felt a bit flustered.
Manager Hua asked the two to sit down and continued: "President Li, rest assured. As the manager here, I will make a statement to you. From now on, Ye Tingting will be your exclusive service representative."
What? Ye Tingting was even more confused; why was she his exclusive service representative again?
Manager Hua was overjoyed today, as if a surprise had fallen from the sky.
He explained to Ye Tingting again: "President Li visited today and said he wants to deposit 50 million in assets into our branch."
"And these funds will all be credited to your personal targets. So, go and help President Li make a detailed plan, regarding which parts should be fixed investments, and which should be used to purchase bonds and insurance. From now on, you will only serve President Li!"
Finally, he didn't forget to pat Ye Tingting again and said in a very suggestive tone: "Tingting, you are so lucky; I'm even envious of you!"
Ye Tingting didn't know what to do.
A business target of 50 million yuan was exactly a watershed in the banking system.
A wealth manager with over 50 million in assets was a key business pillar of a branch. Their income far exceeded that of ordinary white-collar workers.
However, Ye Tingting was not unaware of the purpose behind everything President Li was doing.
Seeing that Ye Tingting was unresponsive, Manager Hua hurriedly said: "What are you still standing there for? Go get the equipment and open an account for President Li!"
Ye Tingting finally reacted: "Oh, oh, President Li, please give me your identification, and I will go to the counter immediately."
President Li, Li Runfa, was one of the most famous real estate developers in Qiantang City.
The properties developed by his company were all high-end, boutique residential areas. Every one of them was a star product sought after by elites from all walks of life.
Even many wealthy people in Qiantang City were his clients and had bought luxury homes from him.
Li Runfa handed over his ID card, looking at the familiar, beautiful face in front of him, and a gentlemanly smile appeared on his face.
But in Li Runfa's heart, he felt he hadn't had such an impulse for a long time.
Under Wang Cheng's introduction, he felt that he had fallen in love with this young, vibrant girl.
It was as if just being with Ye Tingting could make him feel much younger.
Especially Ye Tingting's perfectly proportioned long legs, which haunted his dreams.
Li Runfa displayed extraordinary elegance and demeanor: "Tingting, I'll have to trouble you a lot in the future! Let me treat you to dinner tonight~"
