Lin Xiao Tian glanced at the caller ID on his phone, which indeed showed the contact saved as Little Xie. He nodded.
Accountant Xie felt his scalp tingle! He recalled how he had looked down on Lin Xiao Tian before, realizing he had only brought trouble upon himself.
"Heh heh, Chairman Lin, it was all a misunderstanding before. Please don't take it to heart."
Lin Xiao Tian surveyed the young man before him without a word. This caused Accountant Xie to break out in a cold sweat. Of all people, he had to offend a chairman of the group! He was already a beneficiary of connections within the company and lacked any formal education. If Lin Xiao Tian decided to pursue the matter, he would surely be fired. In that brief moment, Accountant Xie's mind raced with countless possibilities.
"Withdraw the complaint regarding that matter," Lin Xiao Tian said in a flat tone, his emotions unreadable.
Lin Xiao Tian's demeanor only made Accountant Xie more fearful. "Chairman Lin, rest assured, I will withdraw the complaint immediately," Accountant Xie nodded respectfully.
Then, Lin Xiao Tian glanced at Mao Min and then said to Accountant Xie, "Apologize!"
Accountant Xie froze. Apologize? To this young girl? It was too humiliating! But considering it was Lin Xiao Tian's request, he dared not utter a word of protest.
"Haha, Miss Mao, I am truly sorry. I was too rash before. Rest assured, I will withdraw the complaint shortly. I hope you can forgive me."
"It's alright, I was also at fault," Mao Min replied politely. However, as she spoke, Mao Min began to cry. She had endured too much injustice, and at this moment, she could no longer hold back.
"Ai! You little girl, why are you crying? Thank Chairman Lin quickly!" Wu Hua, the director, hurried forward to play the peacemaker.
"No need," Lin Xiao Tian stopped Mao Min. He then turned to Accountant Xie, "Did Wei Long tell you about my business?"
Accountant Xie quickly replied, "Manager Wei informed me. Please wait a moment."
"Director Wu, could you please arrange for Chairman Lin to be prioritized in the queue? He has an urgent matter to attend to!"
Wu Hua let out a wry smile. This urgent matter involved a transfer of a hundred million yuan! Though reluctant, Wu Hua understood that the person before him was not to be trifled with. He thus arranged for Lin Xiao Tian to be at the very front of the queue and specifically went to the counter to brief the teller inside.
Soon, Lin Xiao Tian was at the front of the line, and Mao Min led him to the counter. The teller attending to Lin Xiao Tian was none other than Xiao Li. Unlike Mao Min, Xiao Li was clearly more materialistic. As Lin Xiao Tian was simply making a transfer, she began to ingratiate herself with him.
"Wow! Mr. Lin, you're only in your twenties, truly young and promising."
"Are you married?"
"You're so handsome, you must have many admirers, right?"
Lin Xiao Tian found Xiao Li's incessant questioning incredibly annoying. Moreover, Xiao Li kept giving him flirtatious glances. While Xiao Li, with her makeup, was somewhat attractive, Lin Xiao Tian had no interest in her promiscuous nature. He simply offered a few perfunctory responses.
Seeing Lin Xiao Tian's lukewarm attitude, Xiao Li did not give up. After all, a client like Lin Xiao Tian was rare, and if she didn't seize the opportunity today, she might never encounter him again.
"Oh, Mr. Lin, your card meets the requirements for a Platinum Card. Would you like to upgrade to one?"
"We have a deposit target, and if you upgrade to a Platinum Card through me, it will count towards my sales. This affects my salary."
"Mr. Lin, could you please help me?" Xiao Li finished by pouting, her ample bosom bouncing with her movements.
Liu Mei, standing nearby, almost gagged. How could someone be so disgusting when trying to flirt? She thought about how Xiao Li actually had a boyfriend and wondered how he would feel seeing this.
Lin Xiao Tian pondered. Getting a Platinum Card would indeed be more convenient. While Wei Long could assist him at this branch, the situation might be different at the next one. With a Platinum Card, however, Lin Xiao Tian could use any branch.
"Alright! Let's get the Platinum Card then."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Li beamed, smiling triumphantly at Liu Mei. "She's truly blind," Liu Mei muttered to herself.
However, Lin Xiao Tian's next words shattered Xiao Li's delight. Lin Xiao Tian suddenly turned to Mao Min.
"Mao Min, if this Platinum Card were to be included in your sales, what are the procedures?"
Mao Min blinked in surprise. Included in her sales? Was Lin Xiao Tian planning to help her secure a deposit? Thinking of this, Mao Min felt a surge of gratitude.
"I can't work at the counter yet; I need to report to the director," Mao Min said awkwardly.
Knowing she was hesitant to speak with Wu Hua, Lin Xiao Tian asked Accountant Xie to summon him.
"Director Wu, I'd like to upgrade my card to a Platinum Card, and I'd like to designate Mao Min as the sales representative. Is that okay?"
"Yes, of course!" Wu Hua replied without hesitation. "However, Chairman Lin, this Platinum Card requires a certain balance in the account. Do you..."
"Don't worry about that. This is the only bank card I have."
Hearing Lin Xiao Tian's answer, Wu Hua breathed a sigh of relief. While he couldn't secure the hundred million yuan, at least having a Platinum Card meant retaining Lin Xiao Tian as a major client.
"Alright, let's process the card then!" Lin Xiao Tian said to Xiao Li.
"Oh... okay..." Xiao Li responded reluctantly.
Meanwhile, Liu Mei inwardly cursed, "Serves her right." Upgrading to a Platinum Card involved replacing the card, which would take at least three working days. Lin Xiao Tian would temporarily use his old card, and Mao Min would notify him once it was ready.
"Mr. Lin, could I... could I add you on WeChat?" Mao Min asked nervously at the bank entrance.
Lin Xiao Tian nodded and displayed his WeChat QR code. Having completed everything, Lin Xiao Tian left the branch.
Inside the branch, Wu Hua said to Mao Min with a smile, "Heh heh, Mao Min, I was a bit tipsy earlier and spoke foolishly. Don't take it to heart. And regarding Chairman Lin, remember to serve him well!"
"I'd say our Mao Min has the charm. Look at him, rich and handsome, specifically requesting to open an account with you," Liu Mei said, her gaze inadvertently falling on Xiao Li. Xiao Li was furious.
"Do you think that rich handsome guy might be interested in Mao Min? Otherwise, why would he be so good to her?"
"Ah! It's possible. Our Mao Min is so beautiful and has a good temper. Maybe that's the type the handsome guy likes."
Mao Min's cheeks flushed at her colleagues' compliments. "You... don't talk nonsense. How could he possibly be interested in me?"
"How will you know if you don't try? How about it? Want me to be your wingman? Your Sister Mei is best at this!" Liu Mei sidled up to Mao Min. Mao Min's cheeks turned even redder.
At the same time, Lin Xiao Tian spoke with Xue Zi Yan on the phone, confirming the successful transfer before feeling relieved. The next step was signing the contract, and Lin Xiao Tian took a taxi to Jinyuan Hotel. Just then, Lin Xiao Tian received a call. He glanced at it; it was Guo Lin Qing.
"Hello, Lin Qing, what's wrong?"
"Hello, Xiao Tian, are you... are you free? There's something I'd like to discuss with you." Guo Lin Qing sounded flustered on the phone, her words stuttering, which was unlike her usual self.
"What happened?"
