Chapter 5: 5.

"To think I dubbed her Oscar-worthy with her rich girl performance. Hmph!"

[You have received 59 Yuan for your income. $5900 Yuan has been sent to your account from the 100x multiplier.]

"Oh! This is nice. So 10 Yuan is taken by the company. It's really a nice side income. Onto my regular schedule," he continued. Excitement stained his voice over the workings of the multiplier.

Though Chen Kai of the past was known for being polite and friendly, carefreeness can be added now with the new Chen Kai along with his steady and dominant presence. Anything can make him amused or capture his interest and he was indifferent to anyone's opinion of him. Even more so after traveling to different worlds.

Shrugging off his encounter with the contradicting socialites, he made his way to the bank. It should be the afternoon period which may be busy but he was eager to start his new life.

The bank was two blocks away from the restaurant. Finding a park was easy. Gathering the needed documents in a leather pouch he found in his closet, he made his way into the imposing stone structure before him. As he walked forward, he praised the intricate moldings and clean surroundings silently and entered the lobby. A lot of customers were either seated as they waited their turn or queued at the different tellers. The wide expanse of the first floor was majestic, the uniformed staff made one feel like they were royalty, added to the sparkling floors and gold fittings of door handles, chained pens and so for.

Chen Kai gave the two security guards a sharp nod in greeting and made his way to the information desk. The two men were caught unaware thinking the guy probably mistaken them for someone and not a simple courteous greeting.

"Good afternoon, dear customer. How may I assist you?" The woman behind the desk subtly eyed Chen Kai in appreciation and inwardly gushed as she spoke. When he smiled she wanted to take a quick photo of it. The man before her reminded her of the C-drama actors she watch religiously.

"Hello. I wish to create a new account and close the present one after transferring the remaining balance to the new account."

"We can help you with that. May I see your ID and your bank card to start the process then I will assign you to an available sales associate."

Chen Kai gave her the two cards, highly pleased by her professionalism. After a few clicks of her keyboard, she pulled up his basic account information and printed it alongside the form for a new account. "Your clerk is in Section B, and your waiting is number A15. You can fill out your form while you wait."

"Thank you." He took the documents and the small ticket and moved to the designated section.

This area had four clerks with their individual desks and two cushioned chairs for customers. Each clerk was separated by frosted glass walls, creating small office areas to show their individuality and space to work. Above them, was a large LCD screen indicating which clerk is free by displaying their work photo, their name, and the customer's ticket. Chen Kai saw that two people were ahead of him and took a seat in the waiting area. On a coffee table on the side of the seats were pens, information brochures, and a bowl of sweets. Beside it was a mini fridge filled with bottled water.

Grabbing a pen, he filled out the form and waited for his turn.

In everyone's daily life, they may have encountered different types of people. These characters have the ability to affect one's attitude for the day. It seems like it's Chen Kai's turn to meet a character type that anyone would like to punch. Today was his day to meet an overly ignorant, self-entitled man during his trip to the bank.

When the bank's number system transitioned to his number and his assigned clerk, Chen Kai made his way to the young man who will help him.

He was about to sit in the chair before the clerk but was harshly pushed aside causing him to right himself quickly. Sharp gasps left the mouths of other customers and the clerk himself. Chen Kai righted himself upon one step and was about to give in to his reflexes but stopped before his hand struck his offender.

The customers behind them saw this scene and were shocked. The man who violently pushed Chen Kai didn't know how close he was to gaining a few internal injuries. The older generation within the small crowd commended him on his composure. The younger ones were looking forward to a major altercation. The clerk also saw Chen Kai's actions and silently thanked him for not escalating the situation.

While all these thoughts were flying around, Chen Kai was trying to suppress the surge of anger and violence that erupted. It's been a while since someone disrespected him like that but he reminded himself that this was a lawful era.

"Customer, what is the meaning of this? Please be mindful of your surroundings. Wait until you are assigned a clerk."

"Do you know how long I've been made to wait by you people? Move aside, kid. I have more important things to handle than your minor query." The overbearing tone and minor assault came from a stout man with a bad receding hairline. Beads of sweat dotted his red face as he tugged on his ill-fitted suit. He boldly sat on the chair and slammed his documents on the clerk's table demanding that he should be helped or they would be fired.

The clerk lept to his feet and spoke sternly. They have been trained on how to handle such customers. Usually after earning a million yuan a year most of these business owners act like they were Elon Musk. Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

"Customer, please wait your turn and return to your seat. I would not take kindly to your threat. Whatever your issue is, the assigned clerk will help you. Now leave. You are disturbing other customers," The clerk said politely.

"Do you know who I am? How dare you speak rudely to me. Are they hiring retards in this shitty bank?" The man shouted for everyone to hear, due to the marble floors and walls, his voice was now echoing and blasting everyone's ears harshly. "Handle my affairs now. I'm the elder here and you should respect me."

"Oye!" Chen Kai called out.

"What the fuck do you want? Didn't you hear me? Wait until I'm finished then you can go back to play with your meager savings." He turned to Chen Kai harshly while he rebuked him.

"I wish to open a new account and close my old one. The funds on the old account will be transferred to the new one." Chen voiced his request clearly and provided the required documents for the process.

The branch manager was pleased by the young man's readiness and clear actions.

The clerk pulled Chen Kai's present account to import matching information for the new account. "Do you wish to maintain the guardian's access?" he asked.

"No, thank you. This account is the start of my adulthood."

Chang Tao chuckled and nod in agreement because he did the same when he began to work in college. Managing one's finances without the family's interference was rewarding.

Reminiscing on his college years, Chang Tao moved to the customer's balance page to begin the transfer. At first glance, his eyes caught the ending number of 900 and silently cheered Chen Kai on to keep working for more. When he right-clicked to copy the amount he realized his mistake.

It wasn't 900 RMB in the customer's account.

It was $708,500,900 RMB!

"Umm... Sir... Ummm... one second," Chang Tao said with a forced smile. He turned his head to his manager without waiting for a reply. The branch manager was already monitoring the transaction and saw Chen Kai's account balance. His eyes darted from his silent worker to the monitor and then to the unbothered customer.

'What is this? Is this my lucky star? Did I forget to check my calendar? Such a customer walked in so quietly. If I had handled that issue badly, he would have slipped away. Buddha blesses the wise.'

"Mr. Chen. Let me introduce myself officially, I am Zhong Fan, the branch manager. Your new account requires more explanation to help you on your future path. Please allow me to help you," the gentleman said politely.

'Way to go, Manager Zhong,' Chang Tao inwardly cheered. A customer like this young man is rare. This new account will be this branch's new VIP customer putting them in the eyes of the higher-ups.

"Oh? Thank you, Manager Zhong," Chen Kai returned the man's polite speaking and rose to his feet. He was directed where to move after gathering his documents.

In a large well-decorated office on the fourth floor, Chen Kai was being catered to by the manager's secretary while he retrieved documents he said will benefit him greatly.

He had an inkling of knowledge of what the manager meant. His account had over $ 700 million and can keep growing, it's best to rope him in with the best programs the bank had to offer. Chen Kai didn't mind. If he can simply text and do his banking online it will be the best part of his lazy life.

The secretary left the office with a forced smile that dropped when she closed the door. She wanted to know why her boss had her serve a layman like Chen Kai. The guy was dressed simply, used an old model phone, and didn't wear any accessories. Isn't it a waste of energy to pull in new customers? Her boss is probably going senile. Wanting someone to relay the happenings to, she messaged the secretary for the Chief Auditor. She got immersed in chatting with her friend that she didn't notice her boss returning along with the Finance Manager for the Wealth Management Program - Zhao Bailong.

The men entered the office and greeted Chen Kai cheerfully. The three began their discussions promptly due to the young man's straightforward attitude. The two elders appreciated this a lot and found him easy to talk to. They answered his questions sincerely and showed him the results of the benefits they wish to give him.

"As a VIP customer, you will be assigned a private secretary who will help you handle any complicated transactions locally and internationally, and also help you with advice in the investment sector," Manager Zhao explained.

"That's a good perk. What about online banking... do I have to download a new updated version or use the same."

"When the accounts are finalized we will email you the encrypted app for VIP customers. When you sign in, it will be your personal space along with your secretary who will have access to only your records and the chat service. Everything has your privacy as a top priority," Manager Zhong answered.

"I like it all. Let's get started."

Manager Zhao and Manager Zhong were overjoyed. A new VIP customer has been signed. The bonuses on their salaries are in the palm of their hands. This kid was a lucky star.

After rounds of reading the contracts and signing disclaimers, two cards were placed before him. A platinum and black card. The platinum Credit Card was filled with perks, as soon as the card was activated, his name was added to the VIP list of all the merchants, the numerous bank branches, the signed service list in the medical and travel industries, and insurance.

His photo and name were added to the lists of hundreds of millionaires in the country.

It was the same when his black Debit Card was activated.

Chen Kai's new life has officially started.

[Cheers to your new start! Congratulations, host! You have received The Sleeping Dragon Villa One, a customized Lamborghini Urus S, and a customized Lamborghini Revuelto.]

"Heh! Let's change the address. The stars have aligned."
