Chapter 9
The reason Xue Mi went out this time was because she finally got the long-awaited notarized document.
The person driving today was Assistant Xiao Wang, and Lawyer Feng was sitting in the passenger seat. Xue Mi took a quick glance and discovered that the man's foot had not yet fully healed.
As expected, it takes 100 days to heal a broken bone. My ancestors were right.
Lawyer Feng had already received the notarized document in advance. Xue Mi took the paper and looked at it over and over again for a long time, but it still felt very unreal.
Because the amount involved was relatively large, ordinary branches could not handle it, so they drove to the slightly farther branch in City A this time.
"There happen to be some small gifts left by Ms. Mi, which can be passed on to you as well," said Lawyer Feng.
"Are there any other gifts? Why didn't you give it to me together with the box?" Xue Mi asked curiously.
"There are quite a lot of things, all deposited in the bank," Lawyer Feng explained.
It turned out that the so-called gifts were all in the bank's safe deposit box. Although Lawyer Feng had the deposit slip, password and key to the safe deposit box, he still needed this notarized certificate to transfer the right to open the box to Xue Mi.
"Ms. Mi has already paid one year's custody fee in advance. If she still wants to keep the money in the bank, she will have to renew the fee in October this year." Lawyer Feng kindly reminded her.
Maybe because she was shocked by the 1 million yuan handling fee, Xue Mi was a little nervous when she arrived at the bank. However, when she glanced at the fee standard of the safe deposit box next to her, which was only 200 to 6,000 yuan a year, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This is a number that ordinary people can accept. The gift left this time should not scare her anymore.
It was not until Lawyer Feng took out a stack of deposit certificates and a bunch of keys and counted them carefully that there were 31 in total.
Xue Mi: ...
Does this mean you're putting all your belongings in the bank?
Assistant Xiao Wang immediately took out another document and asked Xue Mi to confirm receipt and make sure nothing was missing.
Just signing this word almost made Xue Mi's hands go soft.
"What exactly is stored in here?" Xue Mi couldn't help but ask curiously.
Lawyer Feng shook his head: "We don't know much about this. Ms. Mi deposited all the money herself, but she did tell us. Please open locker No. 1 first."
Xue Mi entered the valuables storage room alone. The smiling staff confirmed the deposit slip and asked her to enter the password. Then they quickly took out a small suitcase and left the room first.
Xue Mi, who was a little nervous about this serious style, carefully opened the suitcase...
The behavior of rich people is indeed different from that of ordinary people. In the safe that costs 800 yuan a year, there is a list.
Although it was a thin piece of paper, Xue Mi couldn't help but shudder when she saw the densely packed records on the list:
Several sets of gemstone jewellery acquired at auction.
16 pieces of antique calligraphy and paintings purchased from home and abroad.
Twelve pieces of antique jewellery that originally belonged to European royalty.
There are some jade and porcelain items, antiques as well as modern handicrafts - looking at the description on the list, even if they are modern handicrafts, either the materials are unusual or the craftsmanship is ingenious, and the price will not be cheap.
The remaining 30 safes are filled with things like this.
Even if Xue Mi had never been to an auction, she knew the value of these things, which must be terrifying.
Is this what Lawyer Feng called a small gift?
She couldn't help but feel that it wasn't worth it for the bank: they only charged such a small handling fee for storing such valuable items, the risk and benefit were too disproportionate!
Xue Mi couldn't help it and asked the staff to help take out the things in safe No. 17, which contained the twelve legendary royal jewels.
To be honest, Xue Mi was not very knowledgeable about jewelry and could not even tell the difference between real diamonds and polished glass, but she was dazzled by the bright luster in the suitcase.
There are quite a variety of jewelry here, including crowns, necklaces, earrings, bracelets and rings, which are placed in a black velvet suitcase in different categories. There are both sets and individual pieces.
Most of them are diamond jewelry of various colors, but Xue Mi's favorite is a cobra bracelet inlaid with various gems and with a gold base. Whether it looks good or not is a matter of opinion, but it looks very expensive.
There is also an emerald necklace that is quite eye-catching. Hundreds of diamonds and 24 teardrop-shaped emeralds from large to small complement each other. Just by lying in the box, you can imagine how gorgeous it will be under the light.
These things? All of it belongs to you?
Xue Mi's first reaction was to wonder how much the items in these safes were worth in total.
The second reaction was to quickly close the box and put it back.
It is absolutely impossible to take it home, at least not now. Otherwise, if the news gets out, Xue Mi suspects that her simple rental house will soon become a popular check-in spot for all kinds of ill-intentioned people in City A.
Just thinking about it is enough to make people nervous.
Xue Mi didn't even look at other things. They were all hers anyway, and she could study them slowly next time when she had the chance.
Seeing Xue Mi coming out empty-handed not long after, Lawyer Feng was a little surprised, but he didn't say anything and took Xue Mi to the key account department again.
The manager of the key account department provided personal service throughout the entire process, fully demonstrating the bank's meticulous care for its important customers. Even the welcoming gift was a limited spring gift box from a certain big brand worth tens of thousands of dollars.
Thinking back to the time when she had to haggle for a long time just to get a pot of the smallest specification of cooking oil, Xue Mi couldn't help but sigh: this is the power of money!
The transfer procedure was completed faster than expected, and they didn't even need to go to the front desk. They stayed in the luxuriously decorated VIP reception room the whole time. The small coffee table was filled with all kinds of imported fruits and snacks. There was also a very young and beautiful lady who kept them company in chatting and laughing. Her aura that made people feel like spring breeze made Xue Mi wonder if this person's EQ was maxed out.
Of course, Xue Mi didn't need to run around to handle the various procedures herself. The staff would bring them to her and ask her to sign or enter her fingerprint and password. The only thing that took a little longer was the transfer of ownership, which required authorization and verification from the superior. After all, the amount involved was too large, so it needed to be submitted to the General Administration for review and approval.
The pretty girl took the initiative to add Xue Mi as her friend: "I am your dedicated financial manager, my name is Yuan Xuebing. If you have any questions in the future, whether it is business or personal, you can contact me directly."
For ordinary customers, banks, which are always high and mighty, will not provide such comprehensive services. However, Xue Mi in front of him is a newly rich person who has just inherited a large inheritance. The most important thing is that she has a huge amount of cash in her hands.
Whether it is investment and financial management, or handling other business, this is definitely performance!
Naturally, we cannot tolerate others not paying attention to it.
After all the business was finally completed, Yuan Xuebing handed Xue Mi a bank card with a black background and gold letters that looked particularly design-conscious. Even the card number was chosen according to Xue Mi's preferences, and it ended with eight 8s.
Yuan Xuebing briefly introduced the VIP privileges of this card in various airport hotels and some luxury places. Unfortunately, Xue Mi didn't pay attention to this. She was more interested in confirming whether there was really 1 billion yuan in this card?
Yuan Xuebing helped Xue Mi bind her online banking account, but the daily spending limit was only 500,000. Of course, if there were special needs, she could also call the bank to temporarily increase the transfer limit.
The phrase "only 500,000" is actually a bit subtle, but looking at the long string of numbers in the card, it seems reasonable.
Yuan Xuebing also quickly glanced at the string of numbers that almost made his heart stop beating, and the smile on his face became even more attentive.
After finishing the business, Yuan Xuebing brought another bank employee and invited Xue Mi and Lawyer Feng to a nearby Michelin three-star restaurant for a quick meal.
The so-called casual meal was really quite casual. The average consumption per person was more than 4,000 yuan. After a meal, including the service fee, it was nearly 20,000 yuan. If it were the former Xue Mi, she would only shake her head and sigh.
But now, she is more concerned about whether it tastes good.
At the dinner table, Yuan Xuebing hinted in a very tactful manner that it would be a bit of a loss to keep such a large sum of money in a current account, and that we could also consider other ways of financial management to maximize our profits.
Xue Mi agreed with her in her heart, but did not show it on her face. She only asked Yuan Xuebing to help her develop several different financial plans, and she would take a look at them first.
Yuan Xuebing immediately cheered up, winked at his subordinates, and just said that he would send the document to Xue Mi as soon as possible. He no longer mentioned work matters, but tried to get close to Xue Mi in various ways, as if she were a really kind and friendly friend.
After the meal, both the host and the guests were happy. The only problem was that Xue Mi felt that she was not full.
This restaurant is quite famous and the prices are high. They claim that each dish is made from the most precious ingredients and the best parts. In human terms, the portions are very small and they are gone in one bite. The dishes are also served slowly. The previous one has already been digested in the stomach before the next one is served.
The meal lasted more than three hours, and it was indeed a grand occasion. But apart from the novelty in the beginning, Xue Mi's only feeling later on was: this is not a meal, it's simply torture!
Yuan Xuebing didn't know that Xue Mi was not interested in fancy tricks at all, and thought that the coldness on her face was purely due to the natural reserve of rich people. He served her more carefully and cautiously, feeling that this VIP client, although young, was not someone who could be easily fooled.
How could she know that after leaving that extremely expensive restaurant, the first place Xue Mi set her sights on was a small noodle shop on the roadside.
The noodle shop was packed with customers, and one could tell at a glance that the food here must be good.
When the hot noodles were served, they were topped with several large, thick slices of sauce-colored beef with tendons attached, accompanied by fresh chopped green onions and red chilies. It looked delicious and instantly whetted her appetite.
Xue Mi's stomach couldn't help but rumble a series of times, as if she had been hungry for a long time.
Xue Mi took a deep mouthful of noodles, thinking that this was food that was meant to be eaten by humans.
