Chapter 339: Chapter 201: Opening a Card and Buying a House_2

"Great!" Ning Wei couldn’t help but clap her hands with joy. As a bank account manager, she felt the monthly pressure of attracting deposits and lending targets. Of course, being able to bring in a high-quality customer like Chen Feng, who can directly deposit ten million, surely meant her bonus and treatment would be upgraded.

"Thank you, Chen Feng, you truly are a good buddy of Qin Zhen’s. So righteous!"

Ning Wei smiled broadly and gave Chen Feng a thumbs-up.

Chen Feng waved his hand with a smile: "No need to thank me, you said Qin Zhen is my good buddy, and you’re his girlfriend, so helping you open an account is a given. After all, where the money is stored doesn’t matter, right?"

At this point, Qin Zhen finally spoke up: "Fengzi, just because you let her open an account for you, doesn’t mean I owe you a favor."

Hearing this, Ning Wei pretended to be upset and gave him a light shove: "What are you saying?"

Qin Zhen retorted with a touch of annoyance: "We’re here as guests, why are you pushing sales and soliciting deposits?"

Ning Wei said with slight discontent: "Isn’t this just a lucky coincidence? It’s like keeping wealth within the family; he’s your buddy, I’m your girlfriend, I’m just suggesting he opens an account at our bank, so what’s wrong with that? It’s not lying, stealing, or robbing."

Seeing this, Chen Feng quickly intervened: "That’s enough, Lei Zhenzi. I’m not fussing, so why are you? Honestly, I’m quite interested in this private bank card Ning Wei mentioned. Previously, three banks offered me their basic cards and called me to upgrade them, asking me to visit the bank or even send someone to drive and pick me up, but I refused them all. But really, when a bank offers services like these, why not take them, right? Now that I’ve chanced upon this, I’ll just get one. It’ll be convenient for things like buying plane tickets and airport parking later on."

Ning Wei nodded repeatedly: "Yes, it’ll definitely be much more convenient, and it also reflects a higher status."

Chen Feng smiled lightly: "Higher status or not, I didn’t really think about it. I just hope it provides some convenience for me."

"Absolutely." Ning Wei nodded with a smile.

Chen Feng didn’t want her to keep flattering, so he quickly ended the topic: "Can it be done this afternoon?"

"Yes." Ning Wei said happily, "We can go as soon as we finish lunch."

"Alright." Chen Feng nodded, then shifted the topic to discuss the upcoming Chinese New Year with Qin Zhen.

It was clear that Qin Zhen was a bit unhappy with Ning Wei’s earlier behavior, but with Chen Feng smoothing things over, he didn’t show Ning Wei any dissatisfaction. Guided by Chen Feng, he soon started talking about going home for Chinese New Year.

Just like he complained on the phone before, when he returned home for this year’s New Year, he was warmly welcomed by a host of relatives and friends, with non-stop feasts and a lot of social engagements, leaving him exhausted.

So much so that he didn’t even want to go back home for New Year any longer.

"Originally, I thought with everyone going home for New Year this time, it would be a good chance to organize a class reunion since many of us haven’t seen each other in over ten years. But with everything going on, there’s no time for it. Even the few old classmates in town who used to have good relationships with me invited me for drinks and karaoke, but I didn’t have time."

"If you really want to organize a class reunion, you don’t have to do it yourself. Our old class monitor would definitely have to be the one. He’s way more esteemed than you."

Over the three years of high school, even though they were later placed in different science and humanities classes, Chen Feng, Qin Zhen, and most of the original class stayed together, including their old class monitor Zhou Binhui, who served as class monitor for all three years and was known for his academic prowess, integrity, and popularity.

"Speaking of old Zhou, it’s been quite a while since I last saw him. I last met him seven or eight years ago at a class reunion, and after that, we lost touch. Back then, he mentioned he was working on a startup with some classmates in Beijing. Slowly we lost contact, and I only heard from others that he’s busy with IT in Beijing, but the specifics are unknown. Presumably, he’s not doing too well; otherwise, he’d probably have returned home for New Year in recent years and organized class reunions. He used to be very keen on organizing group activities."

Qin Zhen’s reasoning had some merit. Classmates who are doing well usually like to organize and participate in class reunions. Conversely, those who aren’t interested likely aren’t doing as well.

"Back then, our class monitor was quite a scholar, but unfortunately, he didn’t do well in the college entrance exam and ended up in an ordinary university." Chen Feng sighed.

Initially, they spoke Mandarin to accommodate Ning Wei, but soon switched to their hometown dialect. Ning Wei, meanwhile, made no protests and quietly browsed her phone.

In this way, things carried on until Wu Mengting and Sun Xiaorui finished cooking, and everyone went over to eat.

The dishes prepared by the two women garnered high praise from Qin Zhen and Ning Wei. The hometown dishes from Lu City cooked by Wu Mengting especially satisfied Qin Zhen, and he unabashedly vowed to come often in the future to freeload on meals.

After lunch, everyone sat in the living room for a chat. Chen Feng and his group of three led Qin Zhen and his partner around the house and its surroundings. Chen Feng then spontaneously suggested that Ning Wei lead the way to Xiu Zhou Bank for the account opening.

With Ning Wei leading the way, Chen Feng successfully got the private bank card.

Two days later, Chen Feng also sold his shares in Huiji Eye Medicine, netting a profit nearly five times his original purchase price. After taxes, he earned more than five million and change.

Earning money this way was incredibly easy! Easier than robbing a bank.

This was evidently the result of his Lucky Attribute! Chen Feng wasn’t too averse to it for now.

As long as the heavens don’t send him any rotten romantic entanglements, he’s content.

However, ever since that undeniable incident with Zhang Jingwen, while his luck with love hasn’t dulled, he hasn’t run into any bad romantic situations either.

The few women he’s interacted with were all decent and to his liking.

With the money in hand and a fondness for the East Lake Villa, Chen Feng contacted the landlord to express his interest in purchasing it. The transaction was done directly, saving on agency fees.

Initially, the landlord wasn’t keen on selling since he wasn’t short on money, but the next day he called to say he was willing to sell. No doubt, Chen Feng’s Lucky Attribute worked its magic once again. The landlord encountered some business difficulties and needed funds for turnover.

The parties met at East Lake Villa; the landlord and his wife, along with Chen Feng and Wu Mengting.

After negotiating, both wanting to buy and sell, neither side drove a hard bargain, ultimately settling on eighteen million.

Both parties skipped the agency, having their respective lawyers handle the swift transaction.

Chen Feng straightforwardly paid in full, completing the related transaction paperwork.

Shortly after he transferred the money, the bank’s client promptly called to confirm the action and once again suggested upgrading his bank card and pushed for financial products, which Chen Feng declined, hanging up.

After all, with a private bank card from Xiu Zhou Bank, there wasn’t a need to get similar cards from other banks.

That evening, Qin Zhen really did come over to freeload a meal, without any hesitation.

According to him, the culinary skills of Sun Xiaorui and Wu Mengting were good enough to open a private dining establishment and would surely do good business, most importantly ensuring cleanliness and healthiness.

Even their company’s internal cafeteria couldn’t compare in this regard.

Chen Feng expressed skepticism, knowing that even though he hadn’t tried their cafeteria, the food wouldn’t taste bad. The key was that establishments like theirs generally didn’t charge, and if they did, the price was very appealing, just a few bucks for a filling, tasty meal.

Qin Zhen argued: "The cafeteria food’s just okay. It’s buffet style; if you go late, there’s no hot food left. It’s much like self-service buffets outside. It surely isn’t as carefully cooked or thoughtful as home-cooked meals."

"At your level, can’t you get a special meal?" Chen Feng continued to express his doubt.

"Do you think I’m that kind of person?" Qin Zhen finished, glaring at him, "What, you mind me freeloading here for meals?"

Chen Feng honestly nodded: "Yes. I’m not used to eating with you, a big guy, every day."

Qin Zhen immediately wore a wounded expression: "I see it now, you’re a guy who forsakes friendship for romance."

Chen Feng replied in a serious tone: "You’re not wrong."

Qin Zhen: "..."

Wu Mengting and Sun Xiaorui couldn’t help but giggle at the scene.
