Chapter 240: We are rich!

Even though the intersection between Gufeng Road and Qingxi Road was not in the city center, it was still one of the most prosperous areas of Qingshui City.

There were many high-rise buildings around the crossroads that consisted of hotels, shopping malls, schools, and hospitals. The five major state-owned banks and various private-owned banks were actively competing in this area which made it very convenient.

Yao Rou had given her heart and soul to setting up the clinic when Ling Yun handed her this mission. Knowing the local area was part of it as well, so Yao Rou brought them to the nearest ICBC branch without a second thought when Ling Yun asked. This ICBC branch was only about a hundred meters east of the clinic on Qingxi North Road. However, next to this ICBC branch was the China Merchant Bank, which was even closer to the clinic.

When they were passing the China Merchant Bank, Tang Meng passed a casual remark, “ICBC’s service is pretty stuck-up. They have a lot of problems. I actually prefer banking with China Merchant…”

“Really?” asked Ling Yun, giving the red logo a look. “Ok, after we are done at ICBC, let’s come and open a few bank accounts here.”

ICBC was indeed stuck-up, but it depended on who they were dealing with. They were very warm towards Ling Yun once he flashed his Diamond-Level VIP status.

“Those of you who do not have an account with ICBC, please open one now so that there’s less hassle to transfer money in the future.

“Tie Xiaohu, the card that Dao Yong gave us was from ICBC. Give that card to Tang Meng to transfer the money away.”

The card that Dao Yong gave had eight million yuan inside. Ling Yun could not be at ease with that amount sitting on the card.

“Tie Xiaohu, don’t you have nineteen million on that card? Transfer 10 million yuan to Lingyu’s account now and the remainder to me.

“Tang Meng, you have ¥270,000 with you, right? Including the leftovers from purchasing the furniture, calculate how much you have left and transfer all of it to your Big Sister Rou.”

The arrangements given by Ling Yun were orderly and well thought-out. He watched as the three of them followed the staff around for a good half an hour before everything was settled.

When Ling Yun had first obtained fifty million yuan, he had bought Zhuang Meifeng and Xiao Meimei over two million yuan worth of clothes. After spending over forty million on the two mansions, he had been left with only 1.8 million yuan in his Huaxia currency account.

Then, he had spent eight hundred thousand on Qin Qinyue’s and Ning Lingyu’s handbags, so he was only left with one million on his Huaxia account and one million unconverted U.S. dollars.

With Tie Xiaohui adding nine million to Ling Yun’s account, he now had a total of ten million yuan on his Huaxia account.

As for Ling Yun’s one million yuan cheque, around eight hundred thousand of it was saved into two of his investment accounts and a little less than two hundred thousand was given by Tang Meng to Zhuang Meifeng for her own purchases. There was only thirty thousand remaining.

Combined with the ¥270,000 from Tang Meng, ¥300,000 went into Yao Rou’s ICBC account.

When the four of them walked out of ICBC into the neighboring China Merchant Bank, Ling Yun did a rough calculation of his current balance in his ICBC account. He had around ten million remaining in his Huaxia account.

With eight hundred thousand in Zhuang Meifeng’s investment account, he decided to keep the spare six hundred thousand yuan in cash at home to spend as he pleased.

Ning Lingyu’s account had ten million, Tang Meng’s had eight million, and Yao Rou’s had thirty million. In addition, he had two mansions worth eighty-six million, a twelve million yuan clinic, a Maserati, and a Range Rover!

“Heh heh, I am now a rich local tycoon!”

Ling Yun could not help but snicker when he walked into China Merchant Bank’s lobby.

It was not only him. Tang Meng’s mouths were almost permanently crooked from the upward curvature, and Tie Xiaohu’s eyes gleamed with obvious excitement.

As for Yao Rou, she was dizzy from the sudden riches that Ling Yun had obtained. She had to hold onto Ling Yun’s arms tightly to prevent herself from falling over.

Tie Xiaohu did not feel anything when Ling Yun transferred out the nineteen million yuan from his account. He was never one who cared so much about money. Also, as Ling Yun had told him earlier, these were peanuts. He did not need to mind them.

Tie Xiaohu was grateful for following the right person. Given Ling Yun’s ability to accumulate wealth, what was there to worry about in the future?

The one thing they needed consider was how to spend the money when they had too much in the future!

Ever since the eight million yuan was transferred into his account, Tang Meng had been pondering on how best to complete his mission to make Qin Qiuyue and Ning Lingyu happy!

This was a huge task for Tang Meng! Of course, Ling Yun had given Tang Meng this task because he trusted in his ability.

Ling Yun confidently walked into China Merchant Bank with an air of importance together with the three by his side. He smiled and walked up to the staff. “Process four VIP cards for us!”

Yao Rou could not help but give a lovely smile at Ling Yun’s egotistic portrayal of a local tycoon. However, she did not say much and allowed him to do as he pleased.

The staff from China Merchants Bank said, “Hello, Sir. I assume you would like to apply for our Platinum membership. To be a Platinum member of our bank, you would need to deposit at least 1.5 million in each card…”

Ling Yun waved a hand dismissively. “I just finished the applications from your neighbor and I don’t have that much money now. The reason that I want to apply for a bank card with your bank is for future convenience. If you don’t accept our applications, we will be on our way!”

The staff held her friendly posture professionally, but her eyes betrayed her inner conflict. She looked at the four youngsters in front of her and could not think of a good way to handle the situation presently.

Although Ling Yun’s tone was arrogant and straightfoerward, he did not mean to be unreasonable. His eyes were clear and the dimple on his left cheek revealed itself charmingly when his mouth slightly hooked upwards.

“Erm… Sire, I will do my best to arrange this for you, but I do require some proof of assets. If not, it will be very difficult for me…”

The female staff was mesmerized by Ling Yun’s smile and immediately believed that Ling Yun could deposit 1.5 million.

Merchant Bank’s service is really top notch , Ling Yun thought silently to himself. He beckoned Tang Meng to come over.

Tang Meng understood. With a wave of his hand, he brought the female staff to the automated machine. Since they were all Union Pay cards, it was very easy to check its balance. Tang Meng punched in his passcode and showed the staff an excess of eight million in the account. He grinned and said, “Is it enough for four cards?”

The female staff was shocked beyond words and conceded furiously, “Y-yes, please follow me!”

In the end, they only deposited ten yuan each and obtained a Merchant Bank Platinum Card.

When the applications were successful, he looked to the the female staff and the financial manager that helped them with the application and assured them, “Your service is really good. Don’t worry, your choice is correct. I guarantee there will be two million in each of these four cards within half a month!”

Actually, Ling Yun was in a rush to head for lunch. It was already past noon when they were done with ICBC after spending 40 minutes at ICBC opening all sorts of accounts. If not, he would have transferred the required amount from his own bank account. It was more than enough for six cards, let alone four!

While keeping their Merchant Bank Platinum cards, Ling Yun mused, “It’ll be so much more convenient this way.”

“Come on, let’s go for lunch now! My mum instructed me to treat both of you to a good meal to properly thank you for your help!”

This made both Tang Meng and Tie Xiaohu embarrassed. Since they were both pretty straightforward people, they thought that Boss was making fun of them.

Nonetheless, they felt a sense of delight deep in their hearts at the same time, especially Tang Meng, who felt that he was on the way of becoming recognized by Qin Qiuyue.

As the four of them came out, Ling Yun looked thoughtfully at Qingxi Cuiyuan International Garden which was diagonally across Qingxi Road South. He considered asking Zhang Ling for lunch but gave up on that idea.

Perhaps I will go alone to her house in the afternoon instead , Ling Yun thought to himself.

“Big Brother Yun, where shall we have lunch?” Tang Meng asked Ling Yun cheekily.

Ling Yun waved his hand in the air and said, “Of course we go to where the food is good. I’m happy today. Let’s pick the best one!”

Tang Meng had a sneaky suggestion. “I know a place near Qingxi Governmental area called Abalone Palace. Shall we try it?”

“Let’s go!” Ling Yun did not waste his breath on unnecessary words. However, when they reached the restaurant lobby, he had a sinister smile on his face and asked Tang Meng, “You’re paying today, right?”

Tang Meng nearly fell to the ground. He smiled bitterly and said, “Big Brother Yun, you are the rich tycoon now. How would I dare to teach one’s grandmother how to suck eggs or to count riches in front of the God of Fortune?”

Ling Yun gave him a knock on his head. “Stupid! Didn’t I give you eight million?”

Tang Meng had a look of joy on his face but said, “Boss, those are public funds…”

Ling Yun privately agreed, but shrugged anyways. “What public funds? Let’s just go and eat!”

They entered Abalone Palace, requested for the best private room, and ordered seven or eight of their signature dishes. “How do you plan on decorating the second floor of the clinic?” Ling Yun asked Yao Rou while waiting for the dishes to be served.

Yao Rou gave a simple overview of her idea which was met with rejection from Ling Yun. “Two hundred square meters for four rooms, two halls, and two bathrooms are alright, but I think there is no need for a separate kitchen. Maybe change it to four rooms, one hall, and two toilets…”
