They surrounded me right after the breakup.

The next morning.

Qiu Siyao arrived at the branch 20 minutes earlier than usual.

She is now the vice president of the private banking department, but her business card says she is in charge of the work.

The original general manager was transferred to a branch in the next province last week, and no new person has been appointed yet.

Just because Qiu Siyao said she wasn't qualified or old enough, Director Liu simply left the position vacant.

SPD Bank's approach is self-evident: they're leaving you a cushy spot.

Qiu Siyao's office faces south, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the CBD financial center.

She had just put her bag down when the landline rang.

"Mr. Qiu, we have guests looking for you: Mr. Zhou from Chenxing Entertainment and Ms. Song Wanning."

Qiu Siyao held the microphone and paused for a moment.

"What are they doing here? Didn't they already issue a statement online?"

"They said it was a face-to-face apology, as instructed by President Jiang."

Qiu Siyao clipped the microphone between her ear and shoulder, freeing her hands to organize the documents on the table.

"Please invite them up."

Two minutes later, there was a knock on the office door.

The young female clerk at the private bank led the person to the door.

Zhou Haidong walked in front, and Song Wanning followed behind.

She dressed simply, in a beige knit sweater paired with dark blue wide-leg pants.

"Mr. Zhou, Ms. Song, please have a seat! Let me pour you some water."

Zhou Haidong quickly waved his hand: "No need, no need, Mr. Qiu, please have a seat."

We apologize for our intrusion and for interrupting your work.

Song Wanning carefully examined the woman Jiang Han had described as worthy.

The dark blue bodycon skirt accentuated the smooth lines of her calves, which were encased in flesh-colored stockings, and her ankles were slender.

As Qiu Siyao turned back to her seat, her bodycon skirt perfectly showcased her slender figure from behind.

Song Wanning stared at Qiu Siyao's legs for several seconds.

Jiang Han did not lie.

His assessment of his physique wasn't an exaggeration.

Song Wanning withdrew her gaze, sat down on the sofa, and placed her hands on her knees.

Suddenly I understand why Jiang Han was so picky about her.

How could one not have high standards when surrounded by women like that every day?

"You really don't need to make a special trip."

"I read the statement posted online. It was very sincere. It's good that the matter is over."

Zhou Haidong put down his teacup, his expression serious.

"Mr. Qiu, you can't say that!"

"A statement is a statement, an apology is an apology—they are two different things!"

Song Wanning stood up and walked to Qiu Siyao.

She bent down and bowed deeply.

"Miss Qiu, I'm so sorry! It's all my fault from beginning to end."

Qiu Siyao quickly stood up to help her.

"Miss Song, please sit down and talk."

Zhou Haidong also stood up, bending even lower than Song Wanning.

Qiu Siyao was a little at a loss because of their display.

"Oh dear, you all know Jiang Han's character; when he gets angry, no one can reason with him."

"It's fine as long as things are discussed openly."

Zhou Haidong straightened up, took several packaging bags from his assistant, and placed them one by one on the coffee table.

"Mr. Qiu, this is just a small token of our appreciation as compensation for the fright you suffered."

"Xiao Song, why don't you introduce yourself?"

Song Wanning took out the first gift box, which contained a black quilted chain bag.

"Chanel just released a limited edition for fall/winter, which hasn't been available in domestic stores yet. I had someone get it from the Paris fashion show."

"Miss Qiu has fair skin, which suits black perfectly."

Qiu Siyao looked down at the bag.

She had seen it before in a fashion blogger's unboxing video; the price was over six figures.

"It's too valuable, I can't accept it."

Please accept this.

The second gift box is a red leather jewelry box from Cartier.

Inside, a rose gold diamond bracelet lay, with small diamonds embedded in the curved surface, sparkling dazzlingly in the light.

"A classic style that will never go out of fashion, and it goes well with your usual work clothes."

Zhou Haidong added from the side, "Miss Song spent a long time choosing. She said that other gifts can be given casually, but jewelry cannot be chosen randomly; it must be worthy of the person."

Qiu Siyao tried to refuse, but Song Wanning gently pressed her wrist down.

"Miss Qiu, please listen to me."

"I know these things are nothing to you, Mr. Jiang can afford better ones."

"But this is just a small token of our appreciation from President Zhou."

"If you don't accept it, we won't be able to face President Jiang. Please do us a favor."

Qiu Siyao hesitated for a moment, then sighed softly.

"Alright, I'll take it."

Zhou Haidong visibly breathed a sigh of relief and took out a few more bags, placing them on the coffee table.

Haute couture clothing, limited edition perfumes, silk scarves and accessories…

The coffee table was filled with items, and the total value was nearly 200 million yuan.

The most outrageous one is the last one.

Zhou Haidong gently pushed a car key in front of Qiu Siyao.

The four-ring logo, the all-new Audi Q7.

"Mr. Qiu, I took the liberty of looking at your car, an Audi A4 that's a bit old."

"This is clearly inconsistent with your status!"

"All the paperwork for this car is done, and the insurance is in place. You can drive it right away."

Qiu Siyao stared at the key, her mouth agape.

"Mr. Zhou, I'll accept the bag and jewelry."

"I really can't take the car."

"President Qiu, President Jiang Han told me to handle the compensation matter as I see fit."

"If I don't do it well, all my previous efforts will be in vain."

For a moment, Qiu Siyao really didn't know what to say...

At that moment, there was a knock on the office door, and President Liu pushed the door open and came in.

He looked at the gift boxes piled on the coffee table, then at Zhou Haidong and Song Wanning, who were behaving respectfully.

"Mr. Zhou, Ms. Song, welcome, welcome!"

Zhou Haidong stood up and shook hands with him.

"President Liu, you're too kind! We're here today."

"My main purpose is to apologize to President Qiu in person, and I also want to discuss business matters."

"Chenxing Entertainment has decided to transfer all of its corporate accounts to Shanghai Pudong Development Bank."

"Also, all the personal accounts of our artists will be transferred over."

Bank Manager Liu was dumbfounded.

Although Chenxing Entertainment is not an industry giant, it is still a well-known entertainment company in Jingzhou.

The combined assets of corporate accounts and executives' personal assets make for a considerable sum.

"Please have a seat! I'll arrange for an account manager to contact you immediately."

Several account managers filed in, carrying laptops and account opening documents.

Zhou Haidong signed several documents on the side and brought copies of Chenxing Entertainment's business license and official seal.

Song Wanning also took out her ID card and bank card and filled out several personal account opening application forms.

The process of handling the business was very quick.

President Liu watched from the side, glancing at Qiu Siyao every now and then.

"Mr. Zhou, may I ask a question?"

"Was there any particular reason for your sudden shift of business focus?"

Zhou Haidong put down his pen and turned to look at Qiu Siyao.

"President Liu, you'll have to ask General Manager Qiu about that."

Qiu Siyao felt a little embarrassed by the stares.

It was Song Wanning who spoke up to help explain.

"We have confidence in SPD Bank's business capabilities."

"More importantly, we trust Mr. Jiang Han's choice."
