Chapter 10

"Sir, would you like to upgrade your bank card to a VIP card? With your deposit balance, you certainly qualify!"

"Upgrade the bank card!?"

Most of the cards Lin Yi currently carried were ordinary savings cards; he did not know much about bank VIP cards.

"Yes, once you obtain a VIP card, you can enjoy various VIP services such as skipping the queue!"

"Is there a fee?" Lin Yi asked.

The teller shook her head:

"Except for the Platinum Card, which requires an annual fee, other VIP cards do not require any extra charges!"

Lin Yi thought for a moment and decided that the queue-skipping service alone was excellent;

after all, sometimes when he went to the bank, just waiting in line took one or two hours.

"Alright, let's upgrade it then!"

Thus, half an hour later, after counting the loose change Lin Yi had brought, totaling 1,912.5 yuan,

Lin Yi's savings card became an ICBC VIP Gold Card, simultaneously granting him three-star VIP status.

However, when he left the bank,

that female teller, taking advantage of a lull, said to her colleague nearby:

"Do you know how much money that young man just now has in his bank account?"

"You mean the boy who brings a pile of loose change every month?" said the slightly plump teller beside her.

Clearly, the fact that Lin Yi brought a pile of loose change every month had left a deep impression on these tellers.

Although professional ethics prevented them from saying anything,

sorting through that pile of loose change was time-consuming and laborious.

However, precisely because of this, the slightly plump female teller did not think the young man had much money in his account.

As a result, the teller who had just processed Lin Yi's card upgrade said:

"7.35 million!! That boy has over seven million yuan in his card; with that much money, he could buy a hundred-square-meter apartment in Jing'an District!"

The female teller's face was filled with longing.

Although people outside might think bank staff like them are impressive,

untouched by wind and unsoaked by rain,

only they themselves knew their own situation.

With a monthly salary of around six or seven thousand yuan, in a place as precious as land and gold like Magic City,

it was incredibly difficult for them to buy a house of their own.

Yet that ordinary-looking, very average boy just now casually held the equivalent of a hundred-square-meter house in Magic City's bustling district in his card.

This was quite rare.

"Maybe he's a rich second generation!" the slightly plump female teller said after a brief moment of surprise.

"Rich second generation, heh, just based on this?"

The female teller who had handled Lin Yi's business glanced at the pile of loose change on the counter that had not yet been cleared, obviously unconvinced.

However, their conversation was overheard by a young lady who had come to conduct business.

"7.35 million, just for that boy?"

The young lady was extremely surprised.

She possessed facial features with almost no flaws,

stood 173 cm tall, and had skin as smooth as congealed fat.

A pair of snow-white, beautiful legs, slender as chopsticks, were wrapped in a green high-waisted A-line skirt.

Her jet-black hair, like silk satin, hung neatly down to her waist, tied at the back with a butterfly hair ribbon.

She wore a white off-shoulder camisole on her upper body, revealing a hint of sexiness, exuding an aura of youthful vibrancy.

If Lin Yi had been there at that moment, he probably would have marveled at the young lady's beauty.

That willow-like waist one could grasp with both hands, and her perfectly proportioned bust, made the young lady look so exquisite as if she had stepped out of a painting.

She needed no beauty filters or retouching.

"That boy, I seem to have seen him somewhere at school!"

Han Han Han Yajing murmured to herself.

However, she did not think too much about it;

although he had over seven million yuan in savings, she was only slightly surprised and had no intention of currying favor.

Otherwise, given her beauty, she would certainly have no shortage of wealthy suitors.

The only thing that concerned her slightly was that she seemed to have seen him somewhere before.

She just hadn't paid attention until now.

"Excuse me, Miss, what business would you like to conduct?"

The female teller's words interrupted her thoughts.

Han Han Han Yajing immediately said:

"I want to deposit money... 500 yuan."

Saying this, she took out some cash and handed it over.

On the other side, Lin Yi had just left the bank.

His phone immediately chimed with a text message notification.

"For your card ending in 3811, on September 23 at 15:32, an online banking deposit (UnionPay credit) of 1,912.50 yuan was received."

"Balance: 7,356,566.31 yuan [ICBC]"

Although this was not the first time he had seen it,

his heart still could not calm down for a long time.

After all, during his more than two years at university, even including part-time jobs at a milk tea shop, handing out flyers, and working as a tutor,

plus running businesses with his dorm mates,

his monthly profit was only between 5,000 and 6,000 yuan.

Over those two-plus years, after deducting tuition and living expenses, he had only managed to save 60,000 yuan.

And now, in just two short days, he had acquired money that others might struggle to earn in a lifetime.

Thinking about his own circumstances, he truly found it incredible.

However, he had no mind to indulge in sentimental thoughts.

After leaving the bank, he took Metro Line 2 to Songjiang Wanda Plaza.

As the typical representative of Wanda Group's third-generation projects, Songjiang Wanda Plaza, which opened last year,

filled the void of large-scale urban complexes in Songjiang District.

With a total area of 316,700 square meters and an investment of 3.3 billion yuan, its world-class planning has bolstered the new business district of Songjiang New City.

In the past, apart from visiting with his roommates during its opening,

Lin Yi rarely lingered here.

After all, with the rise of online stores like Taobao,

all physical stores seemed too expensive to Lin Yi.

But now, he finally came here to indulge in some proper spending.

At a well-decorated barbershop, he got his perpetually messy hair slightly trimmed,

asking the barber to style it.

To be honest, after this grooming, Lin Yi actually looked quite handsome.

Come to think of it, Lin Yi was never ugly to begin with.

It was just that back in Guizhou Province, his skin had become somewhat dark from tending to farm work.

However, having stayed in Magic City for the past two years, his skin tone was now similar to that of city dwellers.

As for his facial features, while not exceptionally refined, they were certainly well-proportioned.

Paired with a fashionable Korean-style textured crop with a 30/70 side part, Lin Yi now gave off the vibe of a Korean heartthrob.

"Sir, your foundation is actually quite good; you just need to maintain it more often when you have free time!"
