They surrounded me right after the breakup.

They clinked glasses and exchanged toasts, and after several rounds of drinks...

Wang Chengfei had drunk quite a bit tonight, and his face was flushed.

He poured Jiang Han another glass of wine, holding the bottle with both hands, the mouth of the bottle trembling.

"President Jiang, the main reason we invited you here tonight is to apologize."

"China Merchants Bank acted unethically in what Manager Qiu did."

"This glass is for you, and for her."

After saying that, he tilted his head back and drank it all.

Jiang Han raised his glass in response.

"Alright, alright, you've apologized enough tonight."

"We've had several rounds of drinks, it's time to get down to business."

"President Jiang is so straightforward! Since that's the case, I'll get straight to the point."

Wang Chengfei placed the wine bottle on the table and folded his hands.

"We hope you will consider keeping the funds that arrived in your account today with our China Merchants Bank."

"Interest rates, credit limits, and exclusive services—everything has been increased."

"The head office has already indicated that as long as you agree, the private banking department will build a customized asset allocation plan for you."

"I know that Manager Qiu is managing things very well for you at Pudong Development Bank."

"But having more options gives you more control, don't you think?"

Jiang Han spoke slowly and deliberately.

"I understand. Ultimately, banks are commercial institutions, and it's all about the money."

"Not entirely..."

Wang Chengfei was quite frank: "Manager Qiu's matter has dragged on for too long."

"As for the funds, it's your prerogative to arrange them as you see fit."

"No matter how much you put into China Merchants Bank, even if it's just a portion, we will do our best."

"The head office's message is that we should do what we can without leaving any room for compromise, and we should also find ways to do what is difficult."

Wang Chengfei's words were tantamount to revealing the truth.

The apology was genuine, and so was the effort to secure funding.

The fact that he took this attitude to this extent shows that he was already trying to make amends for his mistake.

Jiang Han took out a cigarette from the Emperor's throne in front of him.

Just as he put it in his mouth, Wang Chengfei handed him a lighter.

He also accompanied one.

Two men were smoking amidst a room full of beautiful women.

No one will mind if they smoke indoors.

Ultimately, it comes down to a matter of status and position.

These days, all my girlfriends would say about the smell of cigarettes is that they smell very masculine.

Jiang Han exhaled a puff of smoke; he had already made up his mind when he agreed to attend the banquet.

"President Wang, the money can stay at China Merchants Bank, but there are conditions."

Upon hearing that there was hope, Wang Chengfei immediately perked up.

"What SPD Bank can provide, China Merchants Bank cannot do without."

"If SPD Bank can't do it, but China Merchants Bank can, I will prioritize cooperating with China Merchants Bank."

"As for the allocation of funds, I certainly understand the principle of not putting all your eggs in one basket."

"Who gets more and who gets less, and how it's distributed, depends on the competition between your two families."

"I'll give you the initiative too."

Wang Chengfei picked up the decanter and filled his glass to the brim.

Old Wang is very sensible.

Since the esteemed customer has expressed their gratitude, he must take the most direct and practical actions to show his appreciation.

At the dinner table, men's friendship is all expressed through alcohol.

Wang Chengfei stood up, touched his stomach, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, using 53-degree Flying Fairy Moutai, they performed a thunderclap.

Jiang Han was terrified.

He's ruthless when it comes to business!

The Moutai that has been stored for 50 years probably has an alcohol concentration that far exceeds the labeled percentage over time.

Let's get started!

Wang Chengfei felt delighted.

Although he couldn't leave all the funds behind, Jiang Han gave him a chance to get back on the table.

As the banquet drew to a close, the atmosphere in the room relaxed.

Several girls who could hold their liquor were chatting quietly with their colleagues.

Jiang Han leaned back in his chair; the enhanced physique from the system seemed to have also increased his alcohol tolerance.

But you can still feel a faint sense of euphoria.

Two of the girls who came in the evening were truly outstanding.

Her features aren't particularly striking, but she has a composed demeanor and speaks with tact.

There was no deliberate attempt to get close, nor any deliberate attempt to avoid suspicion.

Jiang Han turned his head to look at Wang Chengfei.

"President Wang, the third one from the left, and the fourth one from the right."

"I have a good impression of them."

Wang Chengfei paused for a moment, then looked down and took out his phone.

Soon, Jiang Han's phone rang with several crisp WeChat notification sounds.

After he opened it, Wang Chengfei had already sent him two WeChat contact cards.

Along with it, there is a complete set of detailed information.

They even brought their resumes and physical examination data from their pre-employment medical checkups…

c, D.

Jiang Han smiled and added the other person as a friend.

You know what I mean, no need for any further words.

"President Jiang, please contact them anytime if you need anything in the future."

"It doesn't matter how late, it doesn't matter how urgent."

They will work together as your dedicated account managers, providing you with comprehensive professional services!

The dinner party ended at nearly 10 p.m.

Fengxing Security personnel were waiting at the entrance in advance, temporarily acting as designated drivers.

Wang Chengfei gripped Jiang Han's right hand tightly.

"President Jiang, please take care!"

The Cullinan's headlights came on and its engine roared.

Jiang Han had already sat in the back seat and smiled at him through the half-lowered car window.

"President Wang, you've gone to a lot of trouble tonight. Let's get together again another time."

"Yes, yes, Mr. Jiang, please contact me anytime you are available. I am on call 24 hours a day."

"President Wang, go home early."

"Mr. Jiang, you go first. I'll watch your car leave."

The Cullinan's taillights turned the corner in the night and disappeared completely at the end of the sycamore-lined avenue.

Wang Chengfei then straightened up and exhaled a breath of white air.

The early winter night wind in Jingzhou blew into the collar of my suit.

He shivered, but did not immediately turn back.

There were two girls standing behind him.

The two people Jiang Han just pointed out.

Everyone else had already been sent away.

"You two stay here for a moment."

In front of Jiang Han, he was the subservient party.

To the employees, Wang Chengfei was a bank leader who could control job transfers.

The two girls looked at each other.

A woman named Zhou Man was an assistant client manager at the branch's private banking center.

The other one is Xu Lu, whom I mentioned earlier.

"Do you know why we made you stay?"

Wang Chengfei stood with his back to them, looking in the direction where Cullinan had disappeared.

"Because President Jiang asked for our WeChat."

"No, he asked for your WeChat contacts; he was just being polite."

"I asked you to stay because I want you to see something."

Wang Chengfei turned around, took out his phone from the inside pocket of his suit jacket, and opened the photo.

The image shows a quarterly performance evaluation form.

At the end of the table, Qiu Siyao's name was circled in red pen, with a line of scribbled annotations next to it.

He held the phone up in front of the two of them.

"This was Qiu Siyao's final performance review before leaving the company; the growth in managed account assets ranked first in the entire branch."

"You can see the specific income figures for yourselves."

The second photo is a promotional material from Shanghai Pudong Development Bank about Qiu Siyao.

The position has changed to department head.

The two girls looked at the photo and remained silent for a long time.

They had heard of Qiu Siyao's name.

It was mentioned repeatedly from the first day of onboarding training.

A benchmark who rose from a regular teller to become a private banking center employee.

He eventually switched jobs to another bank, where he managed billions of dollars in assets.

"You are standing in the same spot as Qiu Siyao back then."
