9: Chapter 9 Low-key New Car

While Su Nange was coolly purchasing his car, inside a small branch of Qianjiang Bank, Ye Tingting had been a bit dazed since the morning briefing ended.

For some reason, the branch leadership had praised her profusely this morning.

They said that despite only being there for a few days, her performance was excellent, with deposits increasing by over a million yesterday.

Ye Tingting felt helpless; perhaps a simple person has simple blessings. Maybe because she didn't take that wrong path, Heaven had begun to favor her.

Over the past two days, Ye Tingting had also thought a lot about whether she had been too eager for quick success and profit.

Su Nange was right; after coming to the bank, she saw amounts of money she hadn't dared to imagine in her lifetime.

Although she knew the money wasn't hers, no girl could easily face such temptation.

Coupled with the colleagues around her and the clients she faced daily, she had begun to stray from her original intentions.

Therefore, she felt very sorry toward Su Nange.

Now, as the morning rush passed, the counter became idle.

Ye Tingting took out the deposit sheet the leadership had distributed this morning, wanting to see the name of the big shot who had suddenly deposited a million in a current account.

Additionally, the leadership had instructed her to try her best to maintain this client and convince him to convert the funds into a fixed-term deposit or wealth management product.

It didn't seem like much at first, but as soon as Ye Tingting glanced at it, she froze instantly.

That big shot was none other than the person she was most familiar with in her life.

How... how could it be Su Nange?

Ye Tingting's emotions were complex; she was naturally excited, but it was accompanied by a trace of unease.

How on earth did Su Nange get so much money? He didn't sell the apartment, did he?

Ye Tingting's beautiful eyes flickered, feeling that must be the case.

That fool, how could he sell the only thing his father left him?

Could it be that her departure had provoked him?

Ye Tingting immediately wanted to call and ask. But on second thought, she lowered her hand.

What would that be? She was the one who left, she was the one who departed without saying goodbye, and now she wanted to interfere with him?

Sighing, Ye Tingting wanted to find an opportunity to explain everything clearly to Su Nange.

Since that night, her mind had been in a mess; she clearly still loved Su Nange, yet she didn't dare to face him.

Meanwhile, Su Nange returned to the company humming a little tune.

When Manager Liu saw him, he asked, "Little Su, back so soon? How has your orientation at the company been these past few days?"

Su Nange replied, "Thank you for your concern, Manager Liu. I picked out a car a few days ago and went to pay for it this morning. I came back as soon as the paperwork was done."

Liu Dong paused visibly. This kid just graduated and already bought a car? It was obvious his family must have bought it for him.

In that case, the kid's family must be quite well-off. But then again, since he knew Manager Zhou, he certainly wouldn't be lacking.

Thus, Liu Dong became even more polite. "Little Su is young and promising! Work hard, I have high hopes for you! Go on and get busy then."

Su Nange nodded and returned to his workstation. He continued to act like a 'deaf-mute,' silently doing his preparatory work.

However, his casual mention of buying a car just now had attracted many eavesdropping ears.

His departmental colleagues naturally knew a newcomer had arrived, but no one had taken the initiative to chat with him.

From his appearance, he looked like an ordinary university graduate.

They just hadn't expected him to be so financially capable.

Soon, a male colleague came over to chat. "Little Su, hello. I'm Du Ming. If you need any help in the future, just find me."

Su Nange nodded and smiled. "Alright, thank you, Young Master Du!"

Du Ming burst out laughing upon hearing this. "Young Master Su is so humorous! Just call me Du Ming. I'm a bit older than you, so you can call me Brother too."

Su Nange replied, "Alright, alright."

Su Nange calling him Young Master Du wasn't just casual flattery.

He had observed earlier that in the department, Du Ming was the most flashily dressed. His outfit wasn't top-tier luxury, but it was at least a trendy sports brand worth over a thousand.

Furthermore, the Omega on his wrist and the car keys on his desk all indicated his superior circumstances.

So, that 'Young Master Du' really hit the mark for him.

Among these colleagues, Du Ming was the least likely to be jealous of Su Nange.

Therefore, it wasn't outside Su Nange's expectations that he was the first to come over and say hello.

Next, a female voice drifted over; it was a uniformed beauty sitting diagonally across from Su Nange.

She introduced herself, "I'm Jiang Yu, hello!"

Su Nange responded politely, "Teacher Jiang can just call me Little Su."

Jiang Yu looked to be under 30 and wore a pair of glasses. In the entire department, only she and another male colleague strictly wore the company uniform, so she did indeed look like a teacher.

Du Ming chuckled. "Young Master Su has a good eye. Jiang Yu really is the most highly educated in our department. She's a Finance Master from a 985 university."

As everyone knew, there was only one 985 university in Qiantang City.

Su Nange acted embarrassed. "Good thing I didn't call her the wrong thing then. I'm just an ordinary third-tier graduate from City College. I'm ashamed to be in the presence of a master."

A faint smile appeared on Jiang Yu's face. "So you're from City College. Our universities share the same roots then. Don't call me 'Teacher,' just call me Senior."

Du Ming suddenly became very familiar, putting his arm around Su Nange's shoulder. "Wow, Young Master Su gets such good treatment. We've wanted to call her Senior, but she never agreed."

Su Nange found it somewhat amusing. If he hadn't revealed the fact that he bought a car...

These people would probably still treat him as if he were invisible and look down on him as usual.

Now, Su Nange could sense that Du Ming seemed to have some interest in Jiang Yu.

There were eight people in the department in total, and the remaining few also came over to introduce themselves.

However, there was one discordant voice: "We young people should still rely on ourselves, not always on our families for help. No matter how good your family conditions are, that's your family, it doesn't represent you."

The speaker was a guy with glasses—the one who, like Jiang Yu, was wearing the company uniform.

He looked a bit older than Su Nange, probably around the same age as Du Ming.

Su Nange didn't feel much of a ripple facing this kind of sarcasm, still replying respectfully, "This teacher is right, I stand corrected!"

Du Ming, however, spoke up. "Young Master Su, you finally called someone the wrong thing. His name is Li Feng, and he's not from any famous university. He just can't stand seeing others doing well."

Li Feng shouted angrily, "Du Ming, you! Hmph, you guys just have better family conditions, what's so great about that? If you're so capable, surpass me in business performance!"

Su Nange had no choice since things were getting heated, so he said, "Please, we're all in the same department. I'll need everyone's help in the future. How about I treat everyone to dinner tonight?"

Du Ming was the first to answer, "Look at Young Master Su's class! Sure, if there's food, we'll definitely be there."

The others all nodded in agreement.

Only Li Feng didn't answer whether he was coming or not, turning back to his own work.

Just as Su Nange was hesitating whether to invite him separately, Du Ming whispered, "Li Feng will come. What I said just now was actually for his benefit."

Su Nange smiled and nodded.

However, an older woman sitting right next to Su Nange said, "Little Su, don't invite Manager Liu tonight. Otherwise, I won't attend."

This woman was named Ding Quxiao. She was about 40, quite attractive, but had a very serious face.

Du Ming echoed, "Young Master Su, Sister Ding is right about that. Don't invite Liu Dong."

Su Nange found it funny internally; Liu Dong's image in the hearts of his departmental colleagues had actually deteriorated to this point.

The workday ended quickly, and as expected, Li Feng followed along.

Du Ming said, "In our department, only the two of us drive, so there's just enough room."

Su Nange nodded. With eight people in total, two cars wouldn't be crowded.

But how to divide them was a difficult matter.

Su Nange didn't expect Sister Ding to step forward first and say, "Little Su, I'll take your car then."

Su Nange quickly nodded. "Alright, Sister Ding."

Du Ming invited, "Teacher Jiang, why don't you ride with me?"

Jiang Yu was a bit hesitant but eventually nodded in agreement.

Du Ming invited two more people, leaving Li Feng to Su Nange.

Su Nange didn't mind and walked toward the underground garage.

Unexpectedly, Du Ming's and Su Nange's cars were parked right opposite each other.

When Du Ming saw Su Nange take out his keys and wake up the vehicle, he gasped in surprise, "Young Master Su, this is your car?"

Su Nange feigned innocence. "Yes, it is."

Du Ming said nothing and hurriedly ushered his group into his car.

Du Ming drove a 5 Series, which was already the ceiling for ordinary people.

However, Du Ming didn't dare to speak his mind; the 'LS600h' on the back of Su Nange's car just now was far too conspicuous.

Du Ming felt that his own car looked like a bit of a joke in front of Su Nange's.

In some matters, the more you understand, the more cautious you become. You know what kind of things deserve respect and awe.

But some people, clearly only half-informed, love to criticize and point fingers at everything.

As if they know everything.

For instance, someone like Li Feng. He said disdainfully, "It's just a Lexus, it's alright I guess~"
