Du Yan instantly changed her expression, becoming all sweet and coquettish: "Director Chen, I suggested to this gentleman that there are many people queuing up now, so he shouldn't deposit money at the counter."
She covered her mouth and whispered, "He's a country bumpkin, depositing small denominations of money. I feel like he's carrying a bunch of junk. When the big clients who come to deposit gold see this, they might not be happy."
The beer-bellied man narrowed his eyes, gave Du Yan a reassuring look, and said with a forced smile, "Sir, I know you're in a hurry, but there are a lot of people at the bank today. Going to the machine or another branch will save everyone's time."
Zhang Fan gave a cold laugh: "What if I don't leave?"
Director Chen's smile faded: "Then you just wait. Maybe it'll be your turn when we're about to leave work. Remember to put your pile of trash at the door so as not to affect the bank's image."
Hearing their conversation, Zhang Fan knew that they were snobbish people who looked down on others and bullied the weak.
A cold smile curled at the corner of his lips: "I'll leave my things outside. If they get lost, will you take responsibility?"
The beer-bellied man looked at the heavy garbage bag and guessed it was filled with scrap metal. He said with a forced smile, "I can take responsibility."
Zhang Fan put the trash bag in the corner next to the door and sat with Ji Zhi in the waiting area with their legs crossed.
The man with the beer belly said, "If you need to do anything, just go to the machine and get a number. The bank is busy today, so you'll have to solve any problems yourself."
Zhang Fan: "I'll wait for your bank manager."
"Okay, wait patiently." The beer-bellied man thought Zhang Fan was going to complain about him.
The bank manager went to meet with clients today and won't be back all day.
Ji Zhi sat in the waiting area, feeling extremely uncomfortable, his eyes fixed on the garbage bag.
That's hundreds of thousands of coins and gold! What if it gets lost if we just leave it out there?
Zhang Fanwei closed his eyes slightly, his voice calm: "Someone's in charge, what are you afraid of?"
Despite saying that, Ji Zhi was still anxious.
The bank manager just called him and said he's on his way back to the bank.
The beer-drinking man and Du Yan were chatting and laughing in the lobby when they suddenly saw the bank manager stride in. The two quickly separated and pretended to be working seriously.
"Bank manager, what brings you back?" the beer-drinking man asked obsequiously.
The bank manager immediately noticed Zhang Fan, who was resting with his eyes closed in the waiting area. His expression changed; why was a VIP customer sitting here?
He walked quickly toward Zhang Fan and called out softly, "Mr. Zhang."
Zhang Fan slowly opened his eyes: "Bank manager, can I conduct business now?"
The bank manager's expression instantly turned serious. He glanced back at Director Chen and the lobby manager, already having some guesses in his mind. However, he did not show it immediately, but instead respectfully invited Zhang Fan to the VIP lounge.
Zhang Fan waved his hand: "I wouldn't dare. I have to wait until after get off work to process my business."
A bead of cold sweat trickled down the bank manager's temple. Zhang Fan's current savings weren't much, but he noticed that the accounts transferring money to Zhang Fan were all high-ranking officials and wealthy people. Based on his experience, Zhang Fan must be a high-quality customer, and he couldn't afford to offend Zhang Fan.
Director Chen and Du Yan were both shrewd people. They knew from the bank manager's attitude that Zhang Fan was someone they couldn't afford to offend. They quickly said, "We're sorry, Mr. Zhang. Our service was inadequate. We apologize to you."
As they spoke, the two of them gave a standard 90-degree bow.
Looking up, Du Yan glanced around and saw her former colleagues, whom she had bullied in the past, casting gloating glances at her. Her face flushed red and then turned pale, filled with shame and indignation.
Director Chen wasn't much better off. Apologizing in front of so many people was too much of a blow to his pride. He glared at Du Yan, thinking it was all that woman's fault.
Zhang Fan then slowly got up and followed the bank manager to the VIP room.
Zhang Fan sat on the sofa, and the bank manager personally brought him a glass of water and handed it to him: "Mr. Zhang, I have been too lax in managing them. I will definitely deduct their bonuses."
Zhang Fan took the water glass and took a sip. Seeing that the other party did not continue to make trouble, the bank manager breathed a sigh of relief and changed the subject, saying, "Mr. Zhang, where do you keep your gold?"
Zhang Fan spoke calmly, pointing at Director Chen, "He told me to put the gold at the door."
Director Chen's eyes widened suddenly, his legs went weak, and he fell to the ground with a thud.
gold?
The garbage bag was actually filled with gold?
The bank manager said someone wanted to deposit about ten kilograms of gold, which would be worth more than 1.3 million yuan in market value.
He treated me like trash!
It’s over!
Director Chen rushed to the bank entrance as if he had gone mad.
Just then, a scavenger was seen picking up trash. The scavenger had poor eyesight and thought that Director Chen was there to steal his trash. Without hesitation, he grabbed the trash bag and ran.
Director Chen sprinted after him...
Ji Zhi embellished the story, and the bank manager was so angry that he gritted his teeth: "This Chen Gui is really lawless. I will report this to my superiors and fire him directly."
Chen Gui, who was just walking to the door, happened to hear this. He ran in carrying a garbage bag. He had lost his shoes and half of his wig had fallen off, revealing a bald patch, making him look particularly comical.
But he didn't care about his image. He knelt down at the bank manager's feet and cried bitterly, "Manager, I just bought a house for our wedding. If I lose my job and can't pay the mortgage, my wife will definitely run away. Please don't!"
The bank manager kicked Chen Gui: "If you knew this would happen, why did you do it in the first place! Security, throw him out."
Ji Zhi snatched the garbage bag back, opened it to check, and found that nothing was missing.
Director Chen was dragged out by security guards and thrown out in front of everyone.
"Chen Gui, you have a girlfriend and you still try to seduce me?" Du Yan was so angry when she heard Chen Gui's words that her nose was crooked. She brandished her nails and scratched at Chen Gui's face.
"Du Yan, you bitch, you seduced me! I got fired because of you, you owe me compensation!"
The two started wrestling, making quite a scene.
With the bank manager handling it personally, Zhang Fan quickly completed the transaction.
"Mr. Zhang, this is a small gift, please accept it." The bank manager smiled and presented a set of exquisite porcelain, depicting the beautiful scenery of a courtyard in Jiangnan, elegant and unique.
Zhang Fan immediately thought of Li Jingjing, and he planned to give her this set of porcelain.
It was already afternoon when we got back to the village.
Zhang Fan glanced at the horizon. There were still three or four hours until sunset. It wasn't convenient to look for Li Jingjing, so he left the porcelain in Ji Zhi's car and would pick it up later.
He's moving out in the next couple of days, and he plans to absorb all the spiritual energy from the Spirit Stone Cave.
Ji Zhi thought it would be inconvenient for him to go back alone, so he lay down in the car and slept with the air conditioning on.
Zhang Fan headed straight for the Spirit Stone Cave. This time, he brought the jade gourd with him, and his body was full of spiritual energy. He quickly climbed into the cave and found a place to cultivate.
Breathe in spiritual energy, let your mind be as still as water, and empty all thoughts.
