After the previous incident, the bank manager was drenched in sweat.
Suddenly, the entire office fell silent, the atmosphere becoming exceptionally eerie.
Liang Hui's eyes darted left and right, then she suddenly mustered the courage to exclaim, "N-no, there's something wrong here!"
She pointed at Wu Tian and shouted, "That President Yang from just now must have been fake! He's your accomplice, trying to scam money together!"
She wasn't being unreasonable; it was genuinely what she believed.
After all, for someone like Wu Tian to be able to collude with President Yang? It just didn't add up in her mind!
The bank manager finally came to his senses, glaring at Liang Hui and roaring, "You shut your mouth!"
Liang Hui flinched, trembling, "W-what's wrong?"
The bank manager ignored Liang Hui, his expression bitter, as if constipated.
He stammered towards Wu Tian, "That… Mr. Wu, I'm truly sorry."
"It was all a misunderstanding just now, we were just following procedure. We hope you can forgive us."
His tone was submissive, his posture lowered!
The imposing demeanor from before was completely gone!
Seeing this, Liang Hui was stunned, her eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.
What was going on? Could it be that this Wu Tian really had some connection with Yang Huilan?
Wu Tian said with a detached gaze, "Don't tell me all this. I just want to ask you, are you cashing this check or not?"
"I can cash it, I can cash it!" the bank manager said quickly, then shouted at Zhang Di, "What are you standing there for, hurry up and..."
He suddenly froze mid-sentence.
Then, as if remembering something, he walked to the door and shouted, "Call Xiao Sun over here, we have a customer who needs to cash a check!"
Zhang Di was dumbfounded, "Manager, aren't I right here? Why are you calling Xiao Sun over?"
The bank manager shot him a cold glance, "What are you talking about? Do you think you're still the manager?"
He waved his hand and roared angrily, "Get out! Both of you, get out!"
"From now on, you are no longer qualified to be here! You are fired!"
"Ah?" Zhang Di and Liang Hui were almost scared to death.
Zhang Di quickly said, "No, Manager, you can't do this!"
"I've put in effort, if not merit, at Wealth Bank. You can't fire me for one mistake!"
The bank manager said coldly, "One mistake? That's utter nonsense!"
"This Mr. Wu is a distinguished guest of Chengfeng Pawnshop. Offending him is equivalent to offending the entire Chengfeng Pawnshop!"
"I've said it all. Don't you know how big of a mistake you've made yet!"
The bank manager trembled with rage, bloodshot veins visible in his eyes.
It was no wonder he was like this. If Wu Tian were to truly hold a grudge, given the relationship between Chengfeng Pawnshop and Wealth Bank, his superiors would surely punish him!
"Distinguished… distinguished guest?!" Zhang Di almost shrieked in shock.
Liang Hui stood there dumbfounded, her mind a complete blank!
It was one thing for Wu Tian to have a connection with President Yang, but to also be a distinguished guest of Chengfeng Pawnshop?
How was this possible!
Zhang Di finally realized the gravity of the situation, his face turning ashen.
He immediately scurried over to Wu Tian and bowed hastily:
"Mr. Wu, I'm truly sorry, it was a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"
"You want to cash three million, right? Alright, I'll cash it for you right away. Please wait, please wait!"
Saying that, he turned to handle the business, but was kicked over by the bank manager!
The bank manager cursed, "Handle what! I told you to get out! Can't you understand human language!"
Seeing the bank manager's thunderous fury, Zhang Di's face turned ashen!
He knew in his heart that his bright future had truly turned into a bubble this time…
Thinking of this, he was filled with rage and suddenly rushed to Liang Hui, slapping her across the face!
"You slut! This is all your fault!"
Liang Hui was knocked over. She clutched her swollen cheek, tears streaming down her face.
"What are you doing!" she shouted at Zhang Di.
Zhang Di looked ferocious, as if he wanted to eat her, and kicked Liang Hui again, swelling one of her eyes.
"How dare you ask! You damn slut!"
"You ruined my career today, let's see how I deal with you!"
He grabbed Liang Hui by her hair, ignoring her cries for help, and dragged her out!
Given his current rage, Liang Hui's days were likely to be difficult.
However, Liang Hui had brought this upon herself and was not worthy of any sympathy.
…
After this ordeal, the bank manager no longer doubted Wu Tian's identity and cashed the check within minutes.
Furthermore, to express his apologies, the bank manager upgraded Wu Tian to a senior member of Wealth Bank, granting him extremely high-tier treatment.
Holding the black card of Wealth Bank, Wu Tian felt no particular emotion.
Perhaps for ordinary people, three million was not a small sum. Although the money belonged to Wang Damao, he might have secretly taken some out.
But with his current wealth, this three million was merely a string of numbers.
If it weren't for the understanding that teaching someone to fish is better than giving them a fish, he could even distribute a hundred thousand yuan to every household right now.
After leaving the bank, Wu Tian returned to Taohua Village with the card.
Wang Damao was very surprised by Wu Tian's quick return.
Upon hearing that Wu Tian had brought back three million, he was so excited he almost had a stroke and immediately began planning the allocation of the funds.
Wu Tian didn't pay attention to this. Wang Damao was no longer the Wang Damao of the past. If it were the old Wang Damao who often harassed girls, Wu Tian would certainly not have trusted him.
But the current Wang Damao had transformed into a good village head who got things done.
Therefore, Wu Tian trusted him very much.
The next day, as arranged with Yang Huilan, Wu Tian went to Tongcheng Grand Hotel and met with Yang Huilan.
Since Wu Tian was driving, Yang Huilan did not drive and instead rode in Wu Tian's car.
Inside the car, Wu Tian asked Yang Huilan, "President Yang, what is this appraisal event about? Why did such an event suddenly come up?"
Yang Huilan replied, "It's news I just heard at the meeting yesterday. It seems to be organized by the county's appraisal association."
"It's nothing major, just a simple exchange meeting. Those attending are all members of the appraisal association."
"My business is primarily within the province, so it's better to participate in provincial activities and show my face."
"I see," Wu Tian nodded.
He wasn't particularly interested in such events. This time, he was just going along to accompany Yang Huilan.
