49: The bank president personally received them.

Qin Xiaomeng stared at her phone screen for a long time, her fingertips repeatedly typing and then deleting messages on the keyboard.

After much thought, she felt it would be most appropriate to ask Chen Li out for a meal first.

As long as she could get him to come out, she would basically be halfway to success.

This time, she planned to use every skill she had learned from watching videos; success or failure depended on this single move.

Anyway, she had long since lost any image in front of Chen Li—he had already seen her at her most pathetic and wretched.

Since that was the case, she might as well let loose. Once he came out, she would use all her tricks, show all her cards, and battle him until the clouds turned and the rain poured.

On the other side, as Chen Li looked at the message from Qin Xiaomeng, that red and swollen face of hers from last time immediately flashed before his eyes.

He really didn't want to face that Appearance; at least he should wait until the injuries on her face had healed.

"No, you go ahead and eat by yourself."

"I truly want to thank you for helping me last time. Won't you even give me this chance?"

"It was a small matter, let's leave it in the past."

"Chen Li, just give me a chance~"

Qin Xiaomeng was relentless, "I'll give you a surprise then, I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

A surprise? Those words made Chen Li's heart stir, and he couldn't help but think of Qin Xiaomeng's seductive Figure.

Although he knew her data—that her number of kunners was only one—thinking about it, it wasn't unacceptable.

Moreover, a stunner like Qin Xiaomeng was something many men dreamed of... "Fine, see you tomorrow."

"Great!"

Qin Xiaomeng replied immediately, "Remember to ask that one at your home for a leave of absence~"

Early the next morning, Meng Yu prepared breakfast ahead of time. Last night, she had said she agreed to go play in the surrounding areas with her classmates for two days, and then she hurriedly left the house.

By the time Chen Li woke up, the house was already quiet.

He finished breakfast alone, and just as he was about to clear the dishes, the system's notification sound suddenly rang in his mind:

[Gu Qingcheng's Expenditure: 30,000 Yuan]

[Affection Level: +95]

[System Credit: 2,850,000 Yuan]

[Withdrawable Balance: 2,048,349,360 Yuan]

She must have hired caregivers. Just as Chen Li set down his cup, his phone vibrated.

Sure enough, it was a message from Gu Qingcheng: "Brother Chen Li, I followed what you said and hired two senior caregivers to take care of my mother in 24-hour shifts. It's 15,000 each, totaling 30,000 Yuan."

Chen Li smiled slightly: "Alright, you don't need to report these expenses to me one by one in the future. Spend what needs to be spent. You don't have to worry about money at all; I'll transfer more to you later."

"Mhm, I'll listen to you."

Looking at this Affection Level, Chen Li couldn't help but feel emotional.

Girls like Gu Qingcheng were actually not uncommon in reality.

They might seem weak on the outside, but they possessed a near-stubborn persistence regarding their feelings.

Once they truly fell in love with someone, no matter the other person's situation, they were willing to give their whole heart.

Compared to those who only valued material conditions, in her world, sentiment was far more important than money.

After ending the conversation, Chen Li's attention returned to the system interface.

Looking at the long string of numbers in the withdrawable balance, he decided it was time to transfer the money to his Bank card.

The balance in his card wasn't much anymore. If such a large sum of funds were transferred in,

the Bank would definitely contact him immediately—for any Bank, this was a performance achievement they could only dream of.

"System, withdraw."

Chen Li muttered in his heart.

Almost simultaneously, his phone received a text message:

[Industrial and Commercial Bank of China] Your account ending in 8890 has been credited with RMB 2,048,349,360.00. Balance: 2,049,461,720.

Sure enough, within thirty seconds, a call labeled as "Industrial and Commercial Bank of China" appeared on the screen.

Chen Li calmly picked up the phone: "Hello?"

"Hello, Mr. Chen. I am Luo Yan, the President of the Qiongzhou City Branch of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China."

An enthusiastic yet steady voice came from the other end. "Thank you very much for your trust and support of our Bank."

"I wonder if it's convenient for you to come to the branch now? We would like to provide you with even better services."

"Is there something going on?" Chen Li asked intentionally.

"Mainly, we want to process a top-tier VIP card for you, and at the same time, introduce in detail the exclusive wealth management plans and consumption privileges we've prepared for our VIP clients."

President Luo's tone became even more earnest, "Would it be convenient for you to come over for a chat?"

"Alright, I'll head over now."

...Not long after, Chen Li drove to the main branch building of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China in Qiongzhou City.

The grand glass curtain wall sparkled in the sunlight. He parked his car and strolled into the spacious and bright lobby.

The air conditioning inside was very strong, and the marble floor was polished like a mirror.

Chen Li casually found a sofa in the waiting area to sit down. Just as he took out his phone to contact the president,

his gaze inadvertently swept over to the counter and was drawn to a young woman who was handling some business.

The woman was wearing a well-fitted professional suit. Her profile had soft lines, and she was focused on communicating with the clerk behind the counter.

What was most striking was her exquisite, curvy Figure; even from a distance, one could still feel that touching charm.

Chen Li's mind stirred slightly, and the system interface immediately emerged:

[Shen Qing]

[Affection Level: 0]

[Figure: 91]

[Appearance: 85]

[number of times kun: 2]

[number of kunners: 1]

"Another top-tier beauty..." Chen Li sighed inwardly.

She looked to be about twenty-four or twenty-five. Although he could only see her side profile, the stunning curves were amazing, not at all inferior to Qin Xiaomeng's.

Just as he was lost in thought, a flurry of hurried footsteps came from the internal corridor.

A middle-aged man in a sharp suit with a steady temperament walked quickly toward him, followed by two account managers.

Before the person even arrived, an enthusiastic voice preceded them:

"Mr. Chen, welcome, welcome! I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting!"

This call of 'Mr. Chen' sounded exceptionally clear in the quiet Bank lobby, instantly attracting the gazes of everyone around.

Everywhere Luo Yan passed, Bank employees stopped their work one after another and greeted him respectfully: "Hello, President Luo!"

The customers who were handling business all looked over in unison—what kind of background could a young man have to make the president personally come out to meet him with such respect?

Everyone's gaze focused instantly, their hearts filled with shock.

What kind of background did this young man have to make a branch president personally come out to welcome him and act so respectfully?

Even Shen Qing, who was at the counter, turned her head. Her beautiful eyes lingered on Chen Li for a moment, a flash of surprise in them.

A young man who could have the president personally receive him was definitely not as simple as an ordinary second-generation rich kid. Shen Qing watched him from a distance...
