"Phew..."

Qiao Liangbo tried his best to adjust his state and face the client in the best manner, but his efforts were not rewarded.

Just then, a flurry of footsteps approached, and there they were, their bank manager, a capable middle-aged elite, striding briskly out of the elevator. Everyone greeted him, and he nodded, standing outside the bank, craning his neck and looking ahead, as if waiting for someone.

The bank president was surrounded by a large number of management personnel, all waiting together.

Seeing this, the crowd whispered among themselves.

"What are the bank managers and the others doing?"

"It seems like they're waiting for someone?"

"What kind of important person could make the bank president wait?"

"Anyway, they are beings that you and I can only look up to."

"Hmm... If only I knew such a big shot, I wouldn't have to worry about attracting deposits."

All I can say is that you lack perspective!

“... ..."

Qiao Liangbo looked ahead and slowly withdrew his gaze. He no longer had time to think about who the bank manager was receiving; his immediate task was to complete the project.

A moment later, a commotion reached his ears, and then he heard his colleague Zeng's voice: "Hey, Xiao Qiao, isn't that your old classmate?"

"Old classmate?" Qiao Liangbo was taken aback and looked at Brother Zeng, who nodded in front of him. Following his gaze, his pupils dilated slightly.

I saw my old classmate Chu Fang being warmly received by the bank manager and surrounded by a group of management personnel as he entered the bank.

Qiao Liangbo stared at Chu Fang for a few seconds, his heart filled with complex emotions, before finally looking away. Zeng Ge, standing next to him, said excitedly, "Little Qiao, it seems your old classmate has a good relationship with our bank manager. If he puts a good word for you, your job will be saved."

Qiao Liangbo smiled wryly.

My relationship with Chu Fang wasn't as good as I'd imagined.

He didn't respond to Zeng Ge, but instead lowered his head as much as possible to hide his bitter expression and not let Chu Fang see his disheveled state.

"Old squad leader?" As Chu Fang walked past the front desk, he glanced around and spotted Qiao Liangbo. Somewhat surprised, he asked, "What are you doing here?"

Chu Fang stopped, and everyone followed his gaze to Qiao Liangbo. Zeng Ge immediately became excited and kept patting Qiao Liangbo's arm.

Qiao Liangbo was also very excited. He tried his best to suppress his emotions, raised his head, and said with a smile, "I work here. Chu Fang, what brings you here?"

"Oh." Hearing this, Chu Fang nodded knowingly. "I'll come to the bank to take a look."

He went to the bank to deposit some money. He earns ten million a day, and once he has saved up a billion, he will just randomly choose any bank to deposit it into.

He is not a finance major, nor is he an investment expert; the only investment method he knows is the simplest one: saving money.

Although he started an investment company, it was too small to support the management of a larger scale of assets, so he gave up entrusting his money to the company for management.

To date, Chu Fang has deposited money in several banks.

"Mr. Chu, our old squad leader works at our bank, what a coincidence..." Hearing the conversation between the two, the bank manager was delighted and said with a smile.

The bank president had some understanding of Chu Fang's identity through various channels. He had large deposits in several banks, all in the billions. For the banks, he was an absolute super client. Once they secured the project, the banks could make a lot of profit with just a little operation.

He had been thinking about how to win over this big client, but when he heard that his employee knew Chu Fang, it was like a long-awaited rain after a drought, and his joy was beyond words.

"Since Xiao Qiao and Mr. Chu are old classmates, let's go together and I'll introduce our bank to your old classmate." The bank manager said immediately, and then asked Chu Fang, "Mr. Chu, what do you think?"

Chu Fang nodded and looked at Qiao Liangbo, who hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.

He had nowhere left to retreat and was facing layoffs. When he suddenly encountered such an opportunity, he wouldn't pretend to be a saint.

Immediately, Qiao Liangbo and Chu Fang headed to the top floor of the bank, surrounded by the crowd.

Qiao Liangbo introduced the bank's situation to Chu Fang, including deposits and loans, business philosophy, and development direction. He remained true to himself, neither exaggerating nor concealing the bank's weaknesses.

After listening to the conversation, I chatted with the bank manager for a while, and then discussed it with my private lawyer. In the end, I decided to deposit my money in this bank.

The moment he heard the number, Qiao Liangbo's heart skipped a beat.

One billion... ...

Although I knew Chu Fang was rich beforehand, and even had this idea back in college that Chu Fang was extremely wealthy, I was still shocked and even dizzy when I actually faced such a huge sum of money.

Furthermore, as a banker, he knew very well that 1 billion in cash and 1 billion in assets were not the same thing. Someone who could come up with 1 billion in cash had assets worth billions, or even... tens of billions.

My old classmate is actually a billionaire?

The two parties reached a verbal agreement, and the rest was left to be handled by a private lawyer. Chu then walked out of the bank surrounded by people.

"Chu Fang..." Qiao Liangbo raised his voice a few decibels as he saw his old classmate preparing to leave.

Chu Fang turned around and smiled at the bank manager, who immediately understood and excused himself, leaving the two of them some private space.

"What's wrong?" Chu Fang asked.

"I'm sorry, really. I apologize for what I did back then. If I could, I..."

Qiao Liangbo was speaking, but before he could finish, Chu Fang interrupted him, saying slowly, "Old squad leader, you're right. I was too reckless back then, which caused trouble for you and the class and had a bad influence. You were right back then."

"I didn't come here to see you today; it was just a chance encounter. I happened to need to deposit money, and you work at this bank, that's all. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, it's all in the past. Are you and Xing Liangyu still together?"

Qiao Liangbo nodded, and Chu Fang said softly, "If you really still remember the past, then you two should treat me to a meal another day, just some home-cooked food will do."

“Okay.” Qiao Liangbo took a deep breath. “But… could you please remove me from your blacklist? I don’t have your contact information anymore.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Fang scratched his face: "It's been so long, I forgot. I'll release it for you right away."
