21: Huge reward

[Ding! Blind date's requirements matched. You have received a deposit of 10 million, 880,000 in cash, a 220-square-meter property in Binjiang No. 1, a 410-square-meter property in Boyue Mansion, and an audi a8L horch edition!]

The system's prompt was cold and mechanical.

But in Chen Qiu's heart, it was incredibly beautiful and pleasant to hear.

He looked down at his phone.

Two new messages popped up on the lit screen.

"Your debit card account ending in 5694 received 10,000,000.00 RMB on January 15, 2025. Current balance: 10,382,388.60 RMB. [China Merchants Bank]"

"Your debit card account ending in 5694 received 880,000.00 RMB on January 15, 2025. Current balance: 11,262,388.60 RMB. [China Merchants Bank]"

Deposits exceeded ten million!

Chen Qiu had heard Xu Jia mention it last night.

The threshold for China Merchants Bank's private banking was ten million in total financial assets, including deposits, funds, and trusts.

Now, he had reached it.

Plus a large flat in Binjiang No. 1.

A large villa in Boyue Mansion.

And a top-of-the-line audi a8L, the horch edition.

The rewards from his previous blind date with Lü Shuang were at a level an ordinary person could achieve with a lifetime of hard work.

But this time.

The rewards from the system had instantly propelled him from an ordinary person into the realm of the wealthy!

His Aunt, Huang Hui, was truly a "good person."

She actually introduced him to such a "top-tier" blind date like He Ting!

After all.

Girls who dared to make such demands without batting an eye during a blind date...

...were rare. Meanwhile.

He Ting saw Chen Qiu's expression.

He was stunned at first.

Then, his expression became slightly strange.

It seemed like excitement, yet also like agitation.

Finally, a strange smile appeared on his face.

"The conditions Miss He proposed are truly excellent!"

Chen Qiu exclaimed from the bottom of his heart.

He Ting sensitively caught the "abnormality" in his tone.

She thought Chen Qiu was mocking her.

Mocking her demands for being ridiculously high.

This wasn't the first time she had encountered this situation.

Once before during a blind date, the man opposite her had shown a similar attitude after hearing her requirements.

"So, going on a blind date with this kind of low-level person is just a waste of life!"

He Ting's face instantly turned cold.

With a "swish," she picked up her Hermès bag from the seat beside her.

She stood up and looked down at Chen Qiu with eyes full of disgust.

"A summer insect cannot speak of ice!"

She coldly spat out a few words.

"A person's value comes from their perception of this world and life!"

"A poor person with limited perception like you will never be able to step into the circle of the wealthy in your entire life!"

Hearing this, Chen Qiu, who had just received the massive rewards, wasn't annoyed at all.

Instead, he nodded cheerfully.

"Then, I wish Miss He a speedy success in finding a wealthy man who can recognize your value."

Looking at He Ting's livid face and her back as she walked away quickly.

Chen Qiu chuckled and shook his head.

People's perceptions were indeed different.

On one hand, He Ting was showing off her ex-boyfriend's wealth.

On the other hand, she was emphasizing her own network and social circle as a private bank relationship manager.

She seemed to want to use these to create an illusion that she had also entered that same level.

This was her smug arrogance!

But.

She was also constantly flaunting the value of the luxury goods on her person.

From her watch to her bag.

This behavior unintentionally reflected the deepest inferiority complex in this woman's heart.

"How pathetic."

"Ignoring the improvement of one's own value will ultimately result in nothing!"

...He Ting returned home in a huff.

With a "thud," she threw her Hermès bag onto the leather sofa in the living room.

Her mother, He Lan, was leaning on the sofa watching TV with a face mask on.

Seeing her daughter's impatient expression, He Lan asked curiously.

"Didn't you go on a blind date? Why are you back so early?"

"Don't even mention it!"

He Ting replied unhappily.

"That guy is a complete loser!"

"My Maternal Aunt is so unreliable! How dare she introduce such trash to me!"

He Lan was a bit surprised.

She sat up straight, her face mask almost sliding off.

"It can't be that bad, right?"

"Didn't your Maternal Aunt, Huang Hui, praise him to the skies over the phone?"

"Something about starting a business in Shenzhen and doing very well. People giving him cars and houses?"

"A successful entrepreneur whose whole outfit doesn't even cost five hundred yuan?"

He Ting sneered, opened the refrigerator, and took out a bottle of water.

"I think the cars and houses were all lies he made up!"

"From beginning to end, he has the mindset of a loser! And he even dared to mock me!"

He Lan frowned.

This was a far cry from the handsome, promising young man Huang Hui had described.

"I'll ask her."

He Lan took out her phone, found Huang Hui's number, and dialed it directly.

"Hello, cousin."

"What exactly is going on with that young man you introduced to our Tingting today?"

"Tingting came back from the date furious, saying it's completely different from what you said!"

Her tone carried obvious blame.

As the saying goes.

The kind of person you are determines the kind of blind date others introduce to you!

Huang Hui introduced a poor kid who didn't know his place, was full of himself, and even fabricated his experiences.

What did that mean?

Was she looking down on their He Ting?

On the other end of the phone, when Huang Hui heard her Older female cousin's questioning, she was excited, but she repeatedly apologized.

"Oh! Older female cousin! I'm so sorry! So sorry!"

"I didn't expect that child Chen Qiu to be so sensible and such a braggart!"

"I'll definitely give him a good talking to later! I'll tell him to stop going out and embarrassing himself!"

He Lan's expression finally softened.

"Fine, fine. Next time you introduce someone, you have to be more careful! Don't just introduce anyone!"

After hanging up, she looked at her daughter.

"I think your Maternal Aunt was probably fooled by someone as well."

He Ting snorted, took a sip of water, and said coldly.

"Mom, if you ask me, there's no need to associate much with these poor relatives."

"They just cause trouble for us!"

He Lan nodded.

After this, Huang Hui's credit with her was pretty much completely bankrupt.

"By the way, Tingting."

He Lan seemed to remember something more important.

"Last time, did you get in touch with that Mr. Li your father asked you to contact?"

"Mom, are you still worried about how I handle things?"

A confident smile appeared on He Ting's face.

"That Mr. Li happens to be a private banking client of one of my colleagues."

"I just gave Mr. Li a little taste of sweetness, and I easily poached him over to my side!"

"I have a dinner appointment with him tomorrow. After we nurture our relationship a bit more and the time is right, I'll mention Dad's project to him..."

He Lan nodded in satisfaction.

As for what kind of "relationship" they needed to nurture with a client... naturally, it went without saying!

She couldn't say for sure if her daughter had some special constitution.

She just happened to be deeply liked by those successful middle-aged men.

At the very beginning.

He Lan was also very resistant to her daughter's way of doing things.

But.

As their family's living conditions improved.

Their family gradually moved from an ordinary urban family into the ranks of the moderately wealthy.

She gradually found it "fragrant."

Otherwise, with just He Ting's junior college diploma and her pitiful professional ability.

Could she have climbed all the way to her current position as a private banking relationship manager?

Could their family take on business that earned millions a year?

"Your dad inquired, and in the Cultural and Creative Park project the city is developing recently, that Mr. Li has some say."

He Lan's eyes sparkled.

"As long as he's willing to give the nod, our family's company will definitely be able to squeeze into that project..."

At that time.

Their family would truly have one foot in Gannan's local wealthy circle!

Thinking of this, both He Lan and He Ting felt their hearts surge with excitement!
