"Damn it, why did Wang Ling post about my affairs on Weibo?" As usual, Zhang Menglong opened Weibo and saw a notable hot search already dominating the charts. "Some mysterious tycoon spends a fortune buying dozens of sports cars and even does this to Principal Wang!" "What kind of clickbait headline is this? Can you believe it?" Seeing this title, Zhang Menglong could only laugh in speechlessness; if whoever came up with this title went to work at UC, they'd be directly promoted to head of the publicity department! Luckily, Wang Ling hadn't posted his photo, otherwise Zhang Menglong's phone would probably have blown up with calls from his friends by now. He knew he couldn't keep this secret for long, but he figured he'd delay it as long as possible. What really gave Zhang Menglong a headache now was how to spend this 100 billion US dollars in just one year. If he slacked off for even a day, an extra 100 million Huaxia currency would appear in his account each day. Such days made him utterly frustrated, thinking when in the world could he ever spend it all? Moreover, he had to constantly check whether the recipient of his spending was one of his properties, otherwise, despite all the effort to spend a large sum of money, he'd end up finding out it was all for nothing as it was his own business! "Thunderstruck! The heavens collapse and the purple-gold hammer, purple lightning..." "What the hell, why did my ringtone turn into this nonsense?" Just as Zhang Menglong was about to continue looking online for money-spending strategies, his phone suddenly rang. "Hello, may I ask who's speaking?" Zhang Menglong asked politely out of habit. "Mr. Zhang, hello, I am the President of Huaxia Bank of Jiangnan City. We've just..." "Nutcase!" Without letting the person finish, Zhang Menglong hung up the call. "What kind of people are these, pretending to be a bank president? I might as well be a descendant of Emperor Qin Shi Huang. How come scammers are getting so low-level in their tricks these days?" A city-level bank president, busy all day with a myriad of tasks, how could they have the time to call him? Without a second thought, Zhang Menglong categorized the call as a scam. Furthermore, if it were really a call from the bank, it should come from a bank number, right? Clearly, this was a personal mobile number—the scammer's techniques were seriously outdated, weren't they? "This..." On the other end of the phone, a middle-aged man looked at his own phone in disbelief. He had never imagined that he, the president of Huaxia Bank, would be mistaken for a scammer and hung up on? A few days ago, their city-level branch had received an astonishingly huge sum of money, a whopping 100 billion US dollars! Even for the entire history of Huaxia Bank, such a terrifying amount of funds had never been moved. As the president, his annual income was directly linked to the amount of savings, and the bonus this deposit could bring him goes without saying. To him, Zhang Menglong was no less than his benefactor. "Isn't it because of that Honored Card client? I just tried to call and arrange a visit, but he mistook me for a scammer and hung up on me twice!" "Is that so?" Secretary Liu couldn't help but smile, "In that case, Branch Manager, why don't you use our bank's number to send a text message to that client? That way he should believe you." "Right, why didn't I think of that!" Gu Anshan's eyes lit up, "You always have the solution!" ... "Ding!" Zhang Menglong, who was watching various Middle Eastern tycoons' lifestyles, received a text message on his phone. He thought to himself, it couldn't be another payment coming through, could it? The 100 billion has already left him gasping for air, if a few more payments come through, he might as well give up on inheriting the family treasure! "Mr. Zhang, I am Gu Anshan, the man who just called you. I truly am the Branch Manager of Huaxia Bank in Jiangnan City. If you don't believe me, you can check my name on the official website!!!" "The bank Branch Manager for real?" Zhang Menglong was dumbfounded, not expecting the man he had hung up on twice to think of this method. Worthy of someone who could be a Branch Manager. A moment later, the same number called again, and this time, Zhang Menglong didn't hang up. "Haha, Branch Manager Gu, sorry about that, I've never received a phone call from a bank Branch Manager before, my apologies, haha!" Although Gu Anshan had a bitter face on the other end of the phone, he still spoke as if it was no big deal, "Mr. Zhang must be busy with numerous daily affairs, I was the one who disturbed you, I should be the one to apologize." "Do you need something, Branch Manager Gu?" Zhang Menglong asked. "It's like this, you have deposited a substantial sum in our Jiangnan City main branch, and I would like to discuss the matter of this deposit with you. When would you have time, so I can pay you a visit?" "Oh, I see," Zhang Menglong nodded, "I'll be free tomorrow afternoon, but I'll just come to the bank myself, it's not very convenient for me here." Zhang Menglong temporarily did not want others to know where he lived. "That's fine, I'll await your arrival at the main branch tomorrow afternoon!" ```
