Chapter 21: Everyone Is Shocked—The Boy Has Two Hundred Million!

One zero…

Three zeros…

Six zeros…

Two hundred ten million and fifty-eight thousand!

Gasp!

Xiao Qian's body trembled, her face frozen in disbelief.

Only now did she realize—Lin Fan hadn't been bluffing at all.

He really had that kind of money!

Seeing Xiao Qian frozen in front of the computer, another receptionist walked over, confused.

"Xiao Qian, what are you doing? Mr. Lin is still waiting outside..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she caught a glimpse of the number on the screen—and instantly fell silent, her eyes widening.

Heavens!

How many zeros is that?!

There really is over two hundred million in this card!

Snapping back to reality, the receptionist grabbed Xiao Qian's hand in excitement. "Hurry! Process the deposit for Mr. Lin right now!"

"If we secure this deposit, we'll all get a fat commission!"

Xiao Qian nodded quickly and began processing Lin Fan's information.

Qianye Bank operated much like Huahai Bank—membership-based, with different levels of cards. The more assets in your account, the higher the level and benefits.

And based on Lin Fan's balance, Xiao Qian didn't hesitate and issued him a Black Card!

Even in the vast city of Shanghai, Black Card holders were exceedingly rare.

And now, Lin Fan was one of them.

Lin Fan sat back leisurely, legs crossed, sipping his tea as all the paperwork was filled out for him. The only thing he had to do was sign his name.

Meanwhile, outside the bank, a curious crowd had gathered, hoping to see the so-called joke of a man embarrass himself.

The bald security guard scoffed. "Let's go. It's not worth roasting in the sun over this trash."

The other guard chuckled. "Honestly, if that loser can fork out a few hundred yuan, it'll already be impressive."

Among the onlookers was Xiao Sanhai, blending into the crowd. Hearing the guards' comments, he scoffed as well.

Yeah, how much could that useless guy possibly have?

Why waste time on him?

But just then, a stern-looking middle-aged man stepped out from inside Qianye Bank.

Xiao Sanhai's eyes narrowed.

Li Ming?!

That was the manager of this Qianye branch!

And it looked like… he was headed straight for Lin Fan?

Xiao Sanhai frowned. That couldn't be right.

There's no way a guy like Lin Fan could alert a branch manager. Could he actually have over two hundred million?

No. Impossible.

Even if the world were ending, that loser couldn't pull out that kind of cash!

Maybe he deposited too little and was causing trouble—that must've prompted the manager to step in.

Yes, that had to be it!

But in the next moment, all of Xiao Sanhai's assumptions shattered.

Li Ming rushed over—his usually composed demeanor now visibly flustered—and spoke nervously to Lin Fan:

"Mr. Lin, I'm terribly sorry for the delay."

Sweat glistened on Li Ming's palms as he extended his hand, voice trembling slightly.

Two hundred million!

With Qianye Bank facing internal financial pressure, Lin Fan's deposit couldn't have come at a better time—it was a lifeline!

Lin Fan offered a faint smile. So that's why the manager looked so eager… after seeing the balance on his card.

Heh…

Two hundred million?

This was just the beginning.

He reached out for the handshake. "Thanks for the trouble."

Li Ming quickly shook his head. "No trouble at all! It's our honor to serve Mr. Lin."

Then he personally presented Lin Fan with a card.

It was the size of an ordinary bank card—but jet black in color, engraved with golden filigree. Low-key, yet luxuriously refined.

Li Ming explained respectfully, "Mr. Lin, based on your current deposit, we've issued you our Qianye Bank Black Card."

"With this card, not only will you enjoy our highest level of service and discounts, but you'll also receive super VIP privileges across all industries affiliated with Qianye Group."

"In short, the benefits are comprehensive. Please keep it safe."

Lin Fan nodded and tucked the card into his wallet with satisfaction.

Meanwhile, outside—

The crowd that had been waiting to laugh at Lin Fan was now stunned into silence.

One by one, eyes widened to the point of popping out.

Were they hallucinating in broad daylight?

That card… wasn't that a VIP Black Card?

Even if it wasn't the absolute top-tier, it still wasn't something ordinary rich people could get their hands on!

And the minimum deposit required for that card… was two hundred million!

Did Lin Fan… really have that kind of money?

It had to be true.

If he didn't, Qianye Bank would never have given him a Black Card!

At that realization, Xiao Sanhai's face turned green.

His chest tightened. Regret slammed into him like a truck.

Two hundred million!

If only he'd treated Lin Fan better, he might've earned a massive commission.

A hundred thousand yuan! Maybe more!

He wanted to cry.

If he'd known earlier, he would've dragged Lin Fan into the bank himself—even if it meant crawling on his knees!

Beside him, the two security guards were frozen stiff.

"This guy actually… has a Black Card?"

"No way. That trash was drowning in credit card debt not long ago. How could he suddenly have so much money?"

Hearing their whispers, Xiao Sanhai exploded.

Slap! Slap!

He smacked them both across the face.

The two guards clutched their cheeks in confusion and pain. "Manager Xiao, what was that for?!"

"Yeah, we didn't even say anything!"

Xiao Sanhai's face twisted in fury as he pointed at them, saliva flying. "Do you two know what you just cost me?!"

"Lin Fan really has two hundred million! If you hadn't treated him like garbage, that money would've stayed in our bank!"

"I could've gotten at least a hundred thousand in commission!"

His breathing grew heavy, his eyes bloodshot.

"Damn it… my hundred thousand yuan!"

"You two compensate me!"

"Pay me back!"

Overwhelmed by rage, he tackled the two guards to the ground and began beating them furiously.

The two guards were full of grievance.

They wanted to shout: You were the one who always told us to mess with him! Now you're turning around and blaming us?

But in the end, they dared not fight back.

If they did, they'd lose their jobs.

Inside the bank, Lin Fan watched the chaos unfold through the glass.

A mocking smile curved on his lips.

Dog-eat-dog.

What a show.
