"Director, I..."
"What do you mean 'I'? How do you handle things? The client has already called me! Do you know how much money that client deposits with us? If they move their company's deposits to another bank, can you afford to compensate for that much money?"
The portly man in the suit entered and immediately berated Mao Min, showing no regard for the fact that they were in a public place.
"Director, I'm sorry," Mao Min lowered her head helplessly.
It was clearly the client's unreasonable behavior, yet now it was all her fault. She felt so wronged, but to keep her job, she could only endure it.
"Is saying sorry now useful? What were you doing before? The client has already complained, do you know how this will affect our bank's rating this quarter?"
The portly man's face was grim.
Facing the accusations, Mao Min could only apologize repeatedly. She knew what the rating meant to the bank. A deduction for such a complaint would directly halve their bonus for the quarter.
"The head office is strictly scrutinizing service issues now. You're still in your probationary period. What do you expect me to do about this situation?"
"Director, I will seriously reflect on my mistakes," Mao Min sighed.
The portly man glanced at Mao Min again, feeling helpless.
Logically, Mao Min wasn't unattractive. Why was she so unyielding?
Hadn't he already hinted?
He could handle this matter.
As long as Mao Min could "handle" him, everything would be resolved.
Compared to that little Mei, Mao Min was much better. The portly man had to admit that if he could have Mao Min in his "harem," it would be a great achievement in his life.
Unfortunately, Mao Min was too dense!
Since she joined, he had hinted at least four or five times, but she had ignored all of them!
However, maybe this time would be different!
This incident had blown up so much. As long as he threatened and tempted her a bit, he didn't believe Mao Min wouldn't yield to him.
"Sigh! Little Mao! What do you expect me to do?" the portly man sighed pretendly. "I don't know how to report this upstairs!"
"Director, I'm sorry!"
"Think about it again!"
After the portly man finished speaking, he started walking towards the office.
Just then, Mao Min suddenly called out to him.
"Director, there's one more thing..."
"What is it?"
"A client said he needs to make a large cross-bank transfer. According to the procedure, you need to approve it in the system first."
"Oh, oh... How much money does he want to transfer?" the portly man replied carelessly. After all, it wasn't the end of the month, and he wasn't too concerned, as long as it wasn't an extraordinarily large sum.
"One hundred million," Mao Min said.
"One hundred million? Oh, alright..." The portly man habitually started to agree, but as the words left his mouth, he immediately reacted.
"Wait, wait, wait! How much?"
"One hundred million."
"No! It can't be transferred!"
The portly man was terrified. If it weren't for his weight, he would have jumped up right now.
"But, the client said it's urgent..."
"Urgent or not, if this hundred million is transferred out, will we still have any performance? Where is he? Take me to see him!"
"He's here..." Mao Min pointed towards the ATM not far away.
Soon, the portly man saw Lin Xiao Tian.
He hadn't expected Lin Xiao Tian to be so close by!
"Heh heh, hello sir, I'm Wu Hua, the director here. Are you looking to transfer a hundred million out?" The portly man put on a fawning smile, a stark contrast to his earlier reprimanding tone towards Mao Min.
Looking at the portly man's shifting expressions, Lin Xiao Tian couldn't help but sneer inwardly.
Lin Xiao Tian had observed the portly man's character throughout. Although Mao Min might not have understood what he was saying earlier, Lin Xiao Tian had deciphered the threatening undertones.
If the portly man were truly impartial, he would have reported it directly. Why would he add, "how to report"?
Moreover, the most crucial point was that the portly man was of a constitution prone to excessive "heart fire." People with this constitution had stronger desires than ordinary people and often displayed them more obviously in certain aspects.
Just as the portly man uttered those threatening words, Lin Xiao Tian clearly noticed his face flushing slightly, a typical sign of rising "heart fire." After a brief analysis, Lin Xiao Tian roughly understood the other party's intentions.
"Yes, I want to transfer the money out," Lin Xiao Tian said in a flat tone.
"That... Sir, may I ask your last name?"
"My surname is Lin."
"Heh heh, hello Mr. Lin. The situation is, you suddenly want to transfer a hundred million, and we don't have the funds arranged. Would you mind waiting a moment? I'll get approval from my superiors and try to process it for you immediately."
Wu Hua gave a plethora of reasons, even resorting to emotional appeals, but Lin Xiao Tian wasn't buying any of it.
"I'm in a hurry," Lin Xiao Tian said without any pleasantries.
Seeing this, Wu Hua grew anxious.
This was a hundred million!
If it were transferred out, he wouldn't know when he could get it back.
"Heh heh, then please wait a moment, I'll report it to my superiors."
"How long will it take?"
"Immediately!"
After Wu Hua said this, he hurried towards the office, bringing Mao Min along with him.
In the office, Wu Hua's expression turned extremely grim.
"Mao Min, don't you know this is the end of the quarter? If we lose a hundred million in deposits, how will you make it up?"
Mao Min was stunned when she heard this.
What did he mean?
If a client wanted to transfer money out, why should she make it up?
Wu Hua seemed to guess her thoughts and immediately added,
"That client wanted to transfer a hundred million out. Why didn't you stop him? Don't you know how important a hundred million is to us? As a lobby staff, you should know how to handle these matters. Instead, you brought the client to me. You bear full responsibility for this."
"You've disappointed me immensely. First, you offended a client, and now you can't even retain our depositing customer. Tell me, what should be done about this?"
Wu Hua looked at her with an unfriendly expression.
Seeing this, Mao Min could only lower her head in silence.
Her demeanor left Wu Hua with no options.
Wu Hua pondered. Since Mao Min was so dim-witted, he might as well be direct. There weren't any surveillance cameras here anyway.
"Actually, there is a way."
After Wu Hua said this, he glanced at Mao Min again. As expected, Mao Min's eyes lit up once more.
She was truly too beautiful!
Wu Hua felt an even greater heat surge through him.
"Mao Min, let me be frank! I like you. As long as you're willing, I can make this matter disappear."
"What?" Mao Min blinked in surprise.
"We are both adults. I don't need to hint at this, do I?" Wu Hua said, and then pulled a room key card from his pocket.
...
On the other side, in the lobby, Lin Xiao Tian was chatting with Wei Long.
Wei Long asked when the construction payment would arrive. Lin Xiao Tian told Wei Long to send him the company's account number directly. He was at the bank now and could resolve this matter at the same time.
"You're in Jiangcheng? I'm free now, shall I come find you?"
"No need, Fatty. You handle your current business first. I won't be staying long."
Seeing this, Wei Long had to give up. "By the way, Xiao Tian, are you still in line?"
"Yes!"
"How about this! I'll have someone from our company come over. We have a partnership with the bank, so we can get your business processed with priority. Otherwise, you have no idea how long you'll have to wait."
Lin Xiao Tian did not object.
Soon, a voice came from the phone.
"Xiao Xie, please go to the bank again and receive our Chairman Lin!"
"Xiao Tian, please wait a moment. I'll have Xiao Xie call you later."
As soon as Wei Long finished speaking, Lin Xiao Tian received a call from an unknown number.
"Hello! Chairman Lin, I'm Xiao Xie. Please wait a moment, I'll be there immediately!"
Lin Xiao Tian frowned as he listened to the voice.
This voice... sounded a bit familiar?
