"Sir, our bank does have a policy. Customers who deposit over 500,000 yuan are entitled to priority queuing. If your deposit amount exceeds this figure, please follow me. I'll show you to the VIP room." The bank manager stepped onto the scene before Shen Nanyi, a faint smile on his face.
Finally, someone had come. The security guard heaved a sigh of relief and quietly stepped behind the bank manager.
It was usually the manager's job to deal with difficult customers. They were simply not up to the task.
"Even if the deposit is less than 500,000 yuan, there's still a difference between depositing hundreds of thousands and just a few thousand. Does she look like a rich person to you?" The middle - aged man, however, ignored the manager and sneered at Shen Nanyi, his words dripping with contempt.
Shen Nanyi looked down at herself. She didn't think her outfit was shabby at all. It was a custom - made brand. She should look reasonably well - off.
"Sir, if your deposit doesn't meet the requirement, you'll have to queue up with the others. This number belongs to this young lady." The lobby manager still wore a faint smile, but his tone had turned firm.
If they let a customer jump the queue just because of his attitude, the bank's policies would be meaningless.
"I'm staying right here. What are you going to do about it?" The middle - aged man refused to listen to the bank lobby manager. Instead, he sat down on the chair like a hooligan, demanding that the teller handle his business.
Shen Nanyi thought she had seen plenty of hooligans, but this one, so brazen and shameless, was truly rare.
The teller and the bank manager were in a tough spot. They instinctively wanted to call the security guard to remove the man. Just then, Shen Nanyi walked over.
"Did you just say that the person who deposits more money has the priority?" Standing next to the middle - aged man, Shen Nanyi felt that he looked familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere.
"Yes, the one who deposits more definitely has the priority. As long as you deposit more than me, I'll gladly give up this seat." No matter how he looked at it, Shen Nanyi seemed like a young girl who had just come of age, not someone with a huge fortune. If she were really rich, she would have gone to the VIP room instead of queuing up here.
So, when he spoke, Wu Qiang's tone was very tough, with a hint of threat.
Having heard so many threats recently, Shen Nanyi was already numb. She looked up at Wu Qiang and said, "So, if I deposit more money than you, will you go and queue up obediently and apologize to us?"
"Of course. How much money can a kid have? She probably doesn't even know what real wealth is!" Wu Qiang readily agreed, never thinking that Shen Nanyi could have more money than him. He proudly handed his bank card to the teller inside. "There's still over 400,000 yuan in this card. I wonder how much is in this young lady's card?"
As he announced the amount in his card, Wu Qiang turned his gaze to Shen Nanyi, convinced that she couldn't match his amount.
"Over 400,000 yuan. That's really a huge sum of money." Shen Nanyi said half - jokingly, emphasizing the words "huge sum". Her tone made Wu Qiang think he was right, that Shen Nanyi didn't have much money.
"I have a card here. I don't know how much is in it. Could you please check it for me?" In contrast to Wu Qiang, Shen Nanyi's attitude was quite polite. She handed her card to the bank staff.
Without even checking the balance, the bank staff was surprised when they saw Shen Nanyi's card.
Each bank had a few top - level cards reserved for their most elite customers. The card Shen Nanyi had just given them was one of their VIP cards.
This meant that Shen Nanyi must have deposited at least tens of millions in the bank to own such a card.
"Sir, I think you'd better go and queue up." Not only the bank teller but also the lobby manager noticed the specialness of the card Shen Nanyi had taken out. They were giving Wu Qiang an easy way out.
With such a card, the balance in Shen Nanyi's card must be a large amount. It was clear that Wu Qiang didn't stand a chance.
The lobby manager's words were a kind reminder, but to Wu Qiang, they sounded like an insult. He felt that he was being looked down upon.
"What do you mean? You haven't even checked. How do you know her balance is more than mine? I suspect you're on her side! Check the balance right away. I want to see it with my own eyes, and I want everyone to see!" Wu Qiang's voice was so loud that it immediately attracted the attention of the people around. Some of them, eager for a bit of drama, gathered around to watch.
By this point, it was impossible to end the situation easily. The bank manager had never liked Wu Qiang anyway. Since Wu Qiang was asking for trouble, there was no need to stop him.
He took out the machine and started to check Shen Nanyi's balance.
"Wait a minute. This sir said he has a large balance in his card. Let's check his balance too for a comparison. That way, it'll be more convincing, don't you think?" Shen Nanyi was never soft - hearted towards such people. She was going to give him a decisive blow.
The manager thought this was a bit too cruel, but Wu Qiang readily agreed, as if he had just scored a great deal.
To increase the credibility, the display screen was enlarged so that everyone around could see clearly.
The onlookers were all ready for the show. Many of them took out their phones, prepared to take pictures.
Except for the bank staff who knew the truth, everyone else thought Shen Nanyi didn't stand a chance. After all, she looked young, and girls of her age usually relied on their family's money.
In fact, their assumption was correct, but Shen Nanyi's family was extremely wealthy.
Almost simultaneously, the two entered their passwords. With a beep, the balances in their cards were revealed one after another.
Perhaps due to the network speed, Wu Qiang's balance showed up a little faster. Naturally, everyone's eyes were drawn to the balance in his bank card.
The figures on the screen were so clear that they had to read it several times to confirm. Over 400,000 yuan was indeed a huge sum for ordinary people.
After seeing this, many people thought Shen Nanyi had no chance and couldn't bear to look anymore. A few people who saw Shen Nanyi's balance were so shocked that their mouths fell open. They wanted to say something but found they couldn't utter a single word.
As more and more people saw the balance in Shen Nanyi's card, everyone's mouth dropped open, but no one said a word. The scene fell into complete silence.
