Zhao Ruxue realized that was true, given that Ye Qiu didn’t even have a personal phone, making it impossible to contact him anytime. However, Zhao Ruxue thought about her dysmenorrhea, which could cause a vague pain at any time, and naturally hoped to get it treated as soon as possible. “I have time now. I’ll accompany you to finish your business, and then you can treat me,” Now Zhao Ruxue was quite free, unlike before when she was at the Criminal Police Brigade, where she had to handle major criminal cases. Now, she was only dealing with trivial matters. Ye Qiu got into Zhou Yuxia’s car, followed by Zhao Ruxue, and Zhou Yuxia didn’t ask what they were talking about earlier. Right after Ye Qiu and Zhao Ruxue left that ICBC branch, Manager Song started feeling nauseous and dizzy, wanting to vomit. Manager Song thought it might be because he hadn’t slept well the previous night. Now Ye Qiu had returned to the bank again. When Zhou Yuxia and Ye Qiu got out of the BMW, his bicycle was still parked outside. The security guard in the bank lobby recognized Zhou Yuxia, the CEO of Zhou Dabao Group, immediately. He hadn’t expected her to really come with Ye Qiu. “Call your manager out,” Zhou Yuxia said sternly. Zhou Dabao Jewelry Group and Zhou Yuxia were major clients of ICBC, so the guard didn’t dare to offend such important clients. The counter staff and the lobby manager were equally surprised to see Zhou Yuxia and hurriedly thought to invite her to the VIP room first. However, Zhou Yuxia chose to wait outside instead. A staff member quickly went to the manager’s office to call Manager Song, who was feeling unwell and nearly fell asleep at his desk. Hearing that Zhou Yuxia had come over with that young man, Manager Song knew he must have made a mistake earlier. Manager Song came out, and seeing Zhou Yuxia standing in the lobby with her back to him, he hastily approached with a smiling face, saying, “President Zhou, what brings you here?” Zhou Dabao Jewelry Group and Zhou Yuxia were major clients at this branch, and Manager Song naturally did not dare to neglect them, speaking in an ingratiating tone. “Manager Song, are you suggesting that the checks I issue might be fake? If your bank can’t cash them, I am prepared to transfer the cash from Jewelry Group to another bank,” Hearing Zhou Yuxia say this, Manager Song became even more nervous and quickly said, “I am sorry, there was definitely a mistake earlier. I know that check is real, but I thought there was an issue with its origin, so I considered asking the police to take this young man for questioning.” Ye Qiu’s face was cold; he knew that Manager Song hadn’t said this earlier. As Manager Song eagerly invited Ye Qiu and Zhou Yuxia into the VIP room, he quickly took Ye Qiu’s check to cash the money. “I want cash,” Ye Qiu stated. Hearing this, Manager Song became somewhat troubled. After all, this was just a branch, and it didn’t have five million in cash on hand, moreover, if Ye Qiu took it all, it would definitely impact other banking services. If it were to be deposited into Ye Qiu’s bank account, that would be no problem at all. “Mr. Ye, getting five million in cash all at once might be a bit troublesome.” Originally, Ye Qiu had planned to exchange the money and then directly get a new bank card here, to handle transactions via transfer. But now, seeing Manager Song’s attitude, he no longer wanted to deposit the money there. “I don’t want to keep the money here.” Ye Qiu said. Manager Song seemed very embarrassed, and for a moment, not knowing what was best to do, Zhou Yuxia looked at him and asked, “Does your esteemed bank not have five million in liquid cash?” “We do have it, but it might take some time to prepare.” Here, a maximum of two million could be withdrawn, and then the rest would have to be transferred from other branches. This would inevitably involve deploying more security, undoubtedly making it more troublesome. But now, seeing Ye Qiu’s look of disgust, wanting Ye Qiu to keep his money here was simply impossible. Manager Song could only call his superiors for instructions, and with less than an hour left until closing time, it was undoubtedly even more troublesome. After reporting the situation over the phone to his superiors, they instructed him to resolve the issue immediately. The branch and Manager Song were not afraid of Ye Qiu per se, but they were afraid that the Zhou Dabao Jewelry Group and Zhou Yuxia’s funds in the bank could be affected. After all, Jinling had more than one bank, and plenty of banks would want to collaborate with Zhou Dabao Jewelry Group. Manager Song could only come out, repeatedly apologizing to Ye Qiu and explaining and apologizing to Zhou Yuxia, but Zhou Yuxia ignored Manager Song and was only listening to Ye Qiu now. Zhou Yuxia knew very well that if Ye Qiu hadn’t stepped in to save her father, he would have been dead by now, and now she was merely paying for Ye Qiu’s medical expenses, yet they were facing obstruction from the bank. Manager Song knew that pleading with Zhou Yuxia was useless; only this young man’s words were effective now, which surprised Manager Song even more. He had now realized that the young man in front of him, dressed simply and even a bit greasy, was not as simple as he had imagined. “Mr. Ye, we are at fault here, I really beg you, otherwise, I might face disciplinary actions, and my job could be affected.” Manager Song said. When Zhou Yuxia looked towards Ye Qiu, Zhao Ruxue was also looking at him. “Call that security guard in.” Manager Song hurriedly went out to call the security guard, although he had the authority to decide on the matter, and even if Ye Qiu had presented that cheque to exchange money, he would have doubted it. However, it was the bank security guard who had doubted Ye Qiu’s identity first. When he first saw Ye Qiu and Zhou Yuxia coming in, the bank security uncle knew he had made a mistake; he too was afraid, as this job wasn’t easy to come by, having secured it through many connections. Unexpectedly, he had made a mistake now. The terrified security uncle came in and apologized to Ye Qiu, but Ye Qiu responded, “Is an apology useful?” At that moment, the security uncle did not know what to say, and Manager Song then spoke, “Zhang An, the primary responsibility for this mishap lies with you, treating such an important customer as Mr. Ye like someone else. Write your resignation letter today, and you need not come tomorrow.” “Manager, I have elderly and children at home, please don’t fire me.” Zhang An had not expected Manager Song to actually dismiss him, he immediately knelt down and begged Manager Song for mercy. Manager Song however, did not pay any attention to Zhang An, and now it didn’t matter, because if Ye Qiu did not forgive his actions, all the trouble would fall on him.
