C2 The meaning of money.

Lin Fan took a taxi to Citibank.

He paid over six hundred yuan.

But he didn't feel expensive this time. After all, he was a thoroughly Rich Second Generation. He was able to manage in life when he was short of money. Now that he had money, why suffer?

It was only 600 yuan.

When he got out of the car, it was already twelve o'clock in the afternoon.

Although it was noon, there were still many people at the Citibank branch.

Lin Fan recalled that someone in his family once said there is no rest in the service industry.

Citibank was an international bank that the people of Huaxia were familiar with, but knew very little about. In the eyes of ordinary people, it might be a distant joint venture, but for the Lin family, it was their service industry.

A service industry that managed a small amount of their money.

Lin Fan walked to the door, checked his pocket, and entered the hall.

A receptionist immediately approached him.

"Hello, sir. I'm receptionist Xu Ya. May I help you?"

The person who spoke was a woman with a typical Asian face. Her figure was well proportioned, and her appearance was above average. Her voice sounded a little immature, which added quite a bit of charm.

Lin Fan sized her up for a moment and replied, "I came for an asset transfer."

"Asset transfer?"

Xu Ya repeated in a puzzled tone and with a questioning look.

She checked up Lin Fan. He wore ordinary clothes, his skin was dark from the sun, and he even had small scratches on his fingers.

He was obviously a poor man.

Reaching this conclusion, her eyes became somewhat contemptuous. Such a person could not be a Citibank customer.

"Sir, the minimum transfer amount for our bank's assets is 1 million."

The high salary made her maintain basic courtesy. She did not sneer but said sarcastically, "How much are your assets worth?"

Lin Fan thought for a while and answered somewhat helplessly, "I am not sure about the details."

Indeed, it was not clear. The investment made the family's business assets grow exponentially. He couldn't tell how much 1% of the family business was worth.

"But it will certainly not be less than 1 million."

Lin Fan was sure about this.

Xu Ya looked at Lin Fan suspiciously, thinking he was pretending to be cool.

But still, she maintained her professionalism and pointed to a counter, saying, "This is the business service area for

over five million yuan. What do you think?"

Lin Fan shook his head. "Too little."

"This is the business area with more than ten million yuan."

"It's still too little."

"The business area with more than 50 million?"

"It's still too little."

Xu Ya remained silent. She looked at Lin Fan with a trace of disdain. "Sir, 50 million is the highest quota in the normal business area. Do you have assets of over 100 million?"

The woman had plenty of reason to doubt Lin Fan. In her view, even if he wanted to keep a low profile, he would not be dressed so carelessly. How could such a person have assets worth one hundred million?

Lin Fan shook his head. "No."

Xu Ya was speechless.

"One hundred million is too little. It should be at least ten billion," Lin Fan continued.

She was stunned now.

After a while, she came to her senses and sneered, "There must be a limit to boasting, don't you think?"

She didn't even bother to call him 'mister' anymore, considering he was nothing but a troublemaker.

How many people dared to say they have tens of billions of assets?

Lin Fan sighed.

He didn't bother to argue with her. Too many people looked down on others. He could not explain it to each of them.

He simply raised his head and looked around. Seeing the sign of the VIP reception room, he headed over there.

Xu Ya was stunned for a moment before rushing after him, "Hey! What are you doing! Security!"

Too bad it was already too late.

Lin Fan walked quickly and pushed the half-closed door.

In the reception area, a middle-aged man sitting behind a desk looked up. When he saw Lin Fan, he was obviously stunned.

Then his eyes fell on Xu Ya, who was following him, and with an unfriendly expression, he said, "Receptionist Xu, what are you doing?"

"I'm sorry, Manager Qin, I'm sorry!"

Xu Ya kept apologizing, becoming more and more flustered. She grabbed Lin Fan's hand and tried to pull him out. "I will take him away now."

Lin Fan did not move, and Xu Ya's strength was not enough, so she could not pull him away at all.

"Manager Qin, is it? Is that how you treat VIP customers?"

Lin Fan slowly pulled Xu Ya's hand away, walked leisurely in front of the desk, and sat down calmly.

After a moment of astonishment, manager Qin smiled. "Sir, you want to do business?"

His expression was mocking and his tone frivolous, as if he didn't think that Lin Fan had that much money.

Lin Fan wasted no time with him. He took something out of his pocket and slammed it on the table.

"See for yourself."

He said lightly.

Manager Qin chuckled and tilted his head, looking at him indifferently. Then, suddenly, he jumped out of his seat.

"Manager Qin."

At this point, the security guards finally came. A few tall, strong men entered the office and reached out to grab Lin Fan.

Lin Fan acted as if he didn't see this scene. He was focused on picking his nails. "Manager Qin, if you are not free, I will leave."

"No!"

Manager Qin suddenly came back to his senses and panicked.

If he missed such a large sum of money, he might lose his job!

He immediately realized his mistake and quickly tried to fix it. "What I mean is that you don't have to go through so much trouble. Mr. Lin, we can conclude your business now."

Then he scolded the guards. "You have nothing to do here, so leave. If you scare Mr. Lin, can you take responsibility?"

The security guards were all dumbfounded.

They looked at each other and left, confused.

This scene stunned Xu Ya, who was at the door. What was going on? Could it be that this man was really a hidden Rich Second Generation?

"Why are you still standing there? Go and make tea for Mr. Lin!"

Manager Qin turned and scolded Xu Ya again, "Make sure you bring the best tea, understand?"

"Yes." Xu Ya didn't dare to ask what the best tea was and went out the door, confused.

"Mr. Lin, there was a misunderstanding just now. I would like to apologize."

As there was no one else in the room, manager Qin's attitude was even more humble. He asked Lin Fan, "What business do you want to do?"

Manager Qin was afraid. He acknowledged that what Lin Fan gave him was a certificate of asset security. It showed that he rented the most secure safe from Citibank, and he even rented five of them.

The rent of these five safe boxes was one million per year.

One could imagine how valuable the things inside were.

But that was not the point. The point was that this voucher had three signatures of part B.

One belonged to the CEO of Citibank's headquarters, one to Citibank's Asia-Pacific CEO, and the other to the bank's president.

Thanks to his business experience, manager Qin was able to understand what these three signatures represented. Such a situation occurred only when the group's top management actively asked to be custodians.

He almost rejected the project that the higher-ups wanted to carry out. When he thought about it, he felt a wave of fear in his heart. He was afraid that Lin Fan would go back on his word. At that point, he may lose his job on the spot.

"I want to complete the transfer of assets and withdraw some cash."

Lin Fan looked at him. "Also, get me an asset manager. I might have some questions to ask. I need someone with experience."

Ten billion...

Manager Qin felt his legs trembling and broke out in cold sweat. "Mr. Lin, my authority is not enough to handle assets worth more than ten billion. Please wait for a moment. I will give CEO Liu a call."

Seeing that Lin Fan nodded in agreement, he pulled out his phone and headed for the door to make a call.

Meanwhile, Xu Ya brought the tea and heard the voice of manager Qin.

She didn't hear very well, only vaguely a few words: 10 billion, asset management, requires authorization.

But even so, Xu Ya was scared silly.

Just now, she had looked down on the person in the room!

And now, his matter actually required manager Qin to turn to the upper management! What did this mean?

This meant that, with just one sentence, he could make her lose this hard-earned job.

She instantly panicked. When she brought tea, her eyes were unfocused.

It wasn't until she placed the cup on the table and saw Lin Fan picking it up and slowly taking a sip that she regained her composure, although her face was still pale.

"Mr. Lin."

Xu Ya grabbed Lin Fan's hand and begged, "It's all my fault. I beg you, please don't tell manager Qin."

"Xu Ya, what are you doing? Let him go!"

Manager Qin just ended the call and entered. When he saw this scene, he said angrily, "How dare you bother Mr. Lin! Get out!"

But Xu Ya did not dare to leave. She knew that if she left now, she would not need to come to work tomorrow.

She was still pulling Lin Fan's sleeve, and her tone was getting more and more desolate. She begged bitterly, "Mr. Lin, I know I was wrong. I..."

"Never mind."

Lin Fan put down his teacup.

He initially thought to make things difficult for Xu Ya. He was also human, so it was inevitable that he would have emotions. Xu Ya looked down on him, so naturally, he wouldn't mind giving her a lesson.

However, when he saw the bright and beautiful woman begging him, he suddenly lost interest.

He said to himself, "Lin Fan, after all, you were born at the top of the pyramid. Those people who walk the same path as you, most of them spend their entire lives creating value for you."

"Is it necessary for you to lower yourself to this kind of person."

Lin Fan felt that it was not worth it, so he said, "You can leave. I did not take this matter to heart."

Xu Ya cried with joy. She bowed again and thanked him. Covering her mouth, she walked out the door.

Lin Fan looked at her back. At this point, he suddenly understood the meaning of money.

With a single sentence, he could change the fate of an ordinary person.

This was the power of money.

He realized this.

Then, he heard a hearty laugh.

"Young Master Lin Fan, I was looking forward to seeing you!"
