Chapter 13 - Chapter 13: Go Home by Yourself

To be able to meet Gu Bai, Zhang Yumeng was quite excited inside.

Yesterday, after Gu Bai and Li Zhun left directly, Zhang Yumeng once thought that she might not be attractive to him. More than anything, she felt like she missed something.

From the brief encounter, it could be seen that Gu Bai was quite interested in her.

To say that Gu Bai was not interested in her would really be wronging him. After all, Zhang Yumeng's beauty score was as high as 91 points, far exceeding most women. Any man with normal physiological functions wouldn't be uninterested in her.

As for why he acted so calm yesterday, it was entirely because he just bought a car and was a bit excited. Plus, he didn't want to be too proactive and directly lose initiative. After all, he knew her work address. By leaving things for a while, the initiative would come back. As for today's coincidental meeting, it was completely unexpected.

"Mr. Gu, if you don't have time for vehicle maintenance, you can have our dealership staff come to your place for the upkeep."

Zhang Yumeng held back for a long time before saying this sentence. After all, besides work, she really didn't know what to talk about with Gu Bai.

"Just call me Gu Bai, Mr. Gu sounds quite formal."

Zhang Yumeng pretended to shyly lower her head.

"We really aren't that familiar yet, are we?"

Gu Bai didn't expect Zhang Yumeng to have some traditional tea ceremony skills, and his eyes once again swept over her.

"Well, now we are familiar."

Luo Yaqian listened more and more uncomfortably from the side.

She always called Gu Bai as President Gu, and Gu Bai accepted it as a matter of course, but now he let this young lady in front call him by his name directly. Doesn't this completely show Gu Bai's attitude?

Gu Bai didn't know Luo Yaqian's thoughts, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

Does he need to care about her thoughts?

The relationship between Luo Yaqian and him completely belonged to a business transaction, not even considered a glazing over. Is it necessary to involve feelings in a business deal now?

At that moment, Gu Bai's phone rang.

"Is this Gu Bai, Mr. Gu?"

A pleasant female voice came from the phone.

Gu Bai was a bit puzzled, as he didn't have any circles currently, and only a few people knew his number, so how could there be a stranger calling in?

But nonetheless, he answered, "Yes, this is he."

"Let me introduce myself first. I am Tian Miaohua, a senior client manager at the Construction Bank Shanghai Branch. We've detected large funds recently flowing in and out of your account, and we wanted to confirm if it was you personally operating it?"

After Tian Miaohua finished speaking, Gu Bai understood the purpose of the call.

"Yes, it was me personally operating it."

Gu Bai said it quite calmly.

The source of the system's funds was through legitimate channels, and he had nothing to hide. Moreover, if the bank detected unclear sources of funds, they wouldn't be calling him politely now, but coming to the door with the police to arrest him.

"Since that's the case, then we're at ease. Additionally, we don't know when Mr. Gu will be available, but due to your substantial savings amount, you are a premium client of our Construction Bank. We've customized a set of exclusive financial services for you. If you have time, I will bring the staff to visit you personally to introduce our customized service process for you in detail."

Gu Bai was not surprised at all by Tian Miaohua's approach.

Although he hadn't had the experience of depositing over a hundred million in a bank, he did occasionally see a post on the internet in his previous life about what treatment you would receive by depositing a billion in a bank.

It introduced in detail how the bank would treat you and the services you could enjoy.

At the time, Gu Bai simply looked at it and didn't take the introduction to heart, but in the past few days, Gu Bai felt that the post was quite reasonable.

After all, spending hundreds of thousands at a big brand store like LV would get you treated as a VIP. What's more, there was almost two hundred million in his bank account.

Don't think there's a huge difference between spending and saving.

In fact, for a bank, depositing money is essentially the same as spending.

After all, the main profit for a bank is from loans. The interest rate differential between deposits and loans is their profit, and each branch has a deposit acquisition target. A customer like Gu Bai with an over-billion deposit is definitely a top-tier client.

Although online, billionaires pop up all the time, there's no one flaunting their billion-dollar deposits online. Cash flow and net worth valuation are entirely different concepts.

Gu Bai thought about it, considering that his future expenses wouldn't be less, often in the tens of millions for each expenditure. It's too much trouble to certify by calling the bank every time, so it's just right to resolve this now.

With this in mind.

Gu Bai said, "No need for all that trouble, I just so happen to have time now; I'll just go directly to your branch."

On the other end of the line, Tian Miaohua was a bit surprised to hear Gu Bai agree so readily. After all, she had dealt with many wealthy people, and each was more difficult than the last, but this was the first time meeting someone so straightforward.

"Then I will be here awaiting Mr. Gu."

After speaking, Gu Bai directly hung up the phone.

"Do you have something to do?"

Seeing Gu Bai put away his phone, Zhang Yumeng asked crisply.

He nodded.

"There's something at the bank I need to take care of."

Zhang Yumeng wrinkled her nose.

"Then you go ahead and get busy. Let's contact next time. This time you'll definitely give me your contact information, right?"

Gu Bai looked at her playfully, thinking that Zhang Yumeng must have taken in what he said yesterday, as she was acting like a completely different person today.

"No need to make it so complicated. If you have time, why not come with me?"

"Me?"

"Why don't you have time?"

Zhang Yumeng gestured with the bag in her hand.

"It's not that, I've already finished shopping, but you have friends with you. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for me to join?"

Is this woman annoyed that someone else is around, hindering her from showing off her tea-making skills in front of me?

But for someone like Gu Bai, whose three views follow his features, these things are trivial.

"I'm going to handle some things with Yu Meng; you can take a cab back."

Upon hearing this, Luo Yaqian's expression changed, looking at Gu Bai pitifully.

Gu Bai remained expressionless, completely ignoring her gaze.

Seeing Gu Bai's expression, Luo Yaqian didn't insist but still held a glimmer of hope in her heart. After all, she considered herself a woman who'd boost Gu Bai's confidence. In a weak tone, she asked, "So, where should I go back to?"

"You can go back where you came from."

Gu Bai understood what Luo Yaqian meant, but being a representative of ruthlessness, he mercilessly dashed her hopes.

Seeing Gu Bai's increasingly impatient expression, Luo Yaqian forced a smile, said goodbye, and turned away.

Actually, Luo Yaqian was already quite satisfied, receiving a luxury item worth over 60,000. Not to mention the reward from Zhao Weiwei after returning to the company.

To be frank, it's just unwillingness.

Having such a gold mine next to her, yet she could only scrape some gold dust from it.

"Is it convenient now?"

Gu Bai asked teasingly.

Watching Luo Yaqian's somewhat desolate back, Zhang Yumeng hesitated but couldn't help asking.

"That woman is more than just a friend to you, isn't she?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Bai frowned directly.

This woman is being petty again?

"?"

Seeing Gu Bai's expression, Zhang Yumeng realized he misunderstood, quickly waved her hands, and explained.

"It's not what you think. I'm just curious, asking casually."

Seeing Zhang Yumeng's somewhat anxious expression, Gu Bai understood she was slowly falling into his rhythm.

"What do you think I mean then?"

"Uh?

I don't know..."

Gu Bai wasn't interested in teasing her further.

"It's exactly the kind of relationship you think."

The behavior of a playboy is to be different with different women.

For girls like Zhang Yumeng, whose concept of love is steadily leaning towards money, Gu Bai didn't need to appear too pure-hearted; he just needed her to know how deep his pockets were.

Zhang Yumeng smartly didn't ask further.

Beside the Lamborghini.

Gu Bai pressed the car key, and the two cool scissor doors lifted up.

"Get in."

Although Zhang Yumeng worked at Lamborghini, she couldn't help but blink at the sight of the dazzling bull.

Supercars are handsome, but they're dead objects when placed there. In someone's hands, they become a tool for showing off.

Not far away, some sisters of the socialite group from the afternoon were still there.

"Isn't that the tall, rich, and handsome guy we saw earlier?"

A "socialite" looked in Gu Bai's direction, pursed her lips, continued touching up her makeup, and asked, "Why, interested?"

"I don't believe I'm the only one interested; who here doesn't have thoughts?"

"But his female companion then isn't the same as now. The previous one wasn't as good-looking as the current one."

One has to admit, this "socialite" does have a good memory.

"So what? Which of these tall, rich, and handsome guys doesn't change women more frequently than their clothes? There's nothing to be surprised about."

The girl who replied must be an experienced "socialite."

"Sisters, let me tell you, those guys online call us high-class XXs, but we really shouldn't take it to heart.

Those guys talk harshly, but they're actually the most desperate. If we spread our legs, they'd all rush up eagerly.

But us girls with principles, even if we're treated like clothes to be worn and taken off at will by tall, rich, and handsome guys, should never degrade ourselves with those guys; it's too low-grade."

A group of "socialites" nodded in agreement, deeply resonating.

"When will a Lamborghini-driving god like that turn to look at me!"

The socialites started discussing their experiences chasing tall, rich, and handsome guys, pulling out a few guys along the way to ridicule.
