Chapter 64: The Mysterious Transfer Student's First Invitation
As soon as Lin Bei finished speaking, the manager's fingers stopped on the keyboard.
He looked up and glanced at Lin Bei.
The young man's ID card stated that he was eighteen years old.
But his tone of voice and his impatient manner were completely unlike those of a high school graduate.
Did he mistake someone for someone else?
I initially thought the other party was young and easy to manipulate, and that I could easily agree to a few lucrative business opportunities.
But now it turns out that this is not the case at all.
The manager quickly mentally reviewed the lists of wealthy students from several nearby universities.
Then I remembered what my colleagues had mentioned before about the sons of the CEOs of several large local companies.
But none of them matched up.
But he's been in this line of work for almost twenty years and has seen all sorts of people.
Judging from Lin Bei's demeanor, he's definitely not from an ordinary family.
You can't gamble on this; if you lose, the consequences will be severe.
The manager didn't say another word and lowered his head to finish the remaining procedures.
A few minutes later.
He handed the upgraded bank card and ID card back to Lin Bei with both hands.
"Sir, it's all taken care of for you."
Lin Bei didn't say anything, just took the card, walked to the corner of the VIP room, and stopped in front of the self-service transfer terminal.
He inserted the card and entered an account number.
Soon, the recipient's name automatically appeared—Su XX.
Without much thought, Lin Bei entered the transfer amount as "two million one hundred thousand".
Two million is the principal, and one hundred thousand is the interest.
After Lin Bei entered his account information, he checked it several times.
After confirming several times that there were no problems, I finally pressed the confirmation button.
A few seconds later, the words "Transfer successful" popped up on the screen.
Lin Bei took the card out, folded the transfer receipt and put it in his pocket, then pushed open the glass door of the VIP room.
Then, without looking back, he walked out of the bank lobby.
……
Lin Bei walked out of the bank lobby and headed straight for the computer mall.
He'd wanted to buy a laptop for a while.
In 08, there were no smartphones yet, and you couldn't do much online.
Things like opening an online store, managing accounts, and checking market trends all require a computer.
The computers in the internet cafe are too slow; it takes forever to load the Taobao backend every time I log in.
Moreover, he can't go to internet cafes every day.
After we got a computer at home, I can get up and fix anything that comes to mind in the middle of the night.
I'll need a computer anyway when I go to university, so I might as well buy one now.
The computer mall is located on the third floor of an old shopping mall in the city center, and the entire floor is dedicated to selling electronic products.
Lin Bei went up to the third floor, where the corridor was lined with computer counters, displaying various brand-name computers and demo units of assembled computers.
Behind the LCD screen were colorful promotional posters, and the speakers were playing a certain brand's GG song on a loop.
The air was filled with the distinctive smell of new plastic and static electricity that comes with opening a new machine.
Several shop assistants in blue overalls stood in front of their respective counters, waving at him and calling out, "Handsome guy, come and take a look."
Lin Bei didn't rush to choose. He first walked around the third floor and looked at all the counters of several major brands.
Finally, it stopped in front of the Lenovo store.
Lenovo in 08 was one of the most reliable domestic brands in terms of quality, and it had many after-sales service outlets, so it was easy to repair if there were any problems later.
He set his sights on a black business laptop, which was considered mid-to-high-end for its time, with enough memory to run the online store's backend and simple financial management software.
Most importantly, the keyboard feels great, and typing is smooth and stable.
Seeing that Lin Bei liked it, the shop assistant immediately came over to promote it: "Handsome guy, you have great taste."
"This computer is on sale today. It was originally priced at 5,999, but now it's only 5,499. It also comes with a free mouse and a computer bag."
Lin Bei looked through them for a moment and nodded: "Okay, take a brand new, unopened one."
The shop assistant was delighted, not expecting the other party to be so decisive, not even bothering to discuss the price.
He quickly pulled out a kraft paper-colored original packaging box from under the cabinet and broke the seal in front of Lin Bei.
Then, I plugged in the power and turned on the computer. After entering the system interface, I confirmed that there were no dead pixels on the screen, all the keys on the keyboard worked, and the fan was making normal noise.
After checking and confirming there were no problems, Lin Bei paid for the new computer, put it into the black laptop bag that was given to him, and walked out of the computer mall with the bag in his hand.
……
at the same time.
The rooms on the second floor of the villa.
Su Qianqian sat at her desk, browsing the admission brochure page of a university in S City on her computer.
She scrolled through the program descriptions and campus locations line by line.
Based on the previous score estimates, her grades were more than enough to get into this school.
If all goes well, the notification letter should arrive in the next couple of days.
Su Qianqian saved the admissions page to a folder and was about to close the browser.
At that moment, the phone next to the keyboard suddenly vibrated.
She picked it up and saw it was a bank deposit notification.
Su Qianqian opened the text message and glanced at the string of numbers.
She counted silently: "Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions..."
The total is 2.1 million.
Su Qianqian stared at the numbers on the screen and quickly counted them again.
The confirmed amount is 2.1 million.
Did her husband pay back the money?
Because apart from her online husband, no one else would transfer her so much money.
She minimized her browser, opened QQ, clicked into Beifengxiaoxiao's chat window, and typed rapidly:
Honey, I just received 2.1 million in my account. Did you transfer it?
The message was sent and received a reply in less than ten seconds.
North Wind Howls: [Yes, that's to pay you back.]
The two million is the principal; the one hundred thousand is the interest.
Su Qianqian blinked as she looked at the word "interest".
When I lent my husband the money, I never thought about asking for interest, and I never even thought about asking him to repay the principal.
She immediately typed back: 【How come there's still 100,000?】
I don't want interest, just give me back the principal.
As Su Qianqian typed, she was already on the online banking page, preparing to transfer the money back.
Just then, the North Wind Howled replied even faster:
No return allowed.
This is what you deserve.
I'll get angry if you give it back.
After seeing the reply, Su Qianqian's finger, which was on the transfer confirmation button, stopped.
Su Qianqian had been talking to her husband for over two years and had never seen him speak in this tone before.
He was domineering and forceful, and she simply couldn't refuse him.
Su Qianqian closed the online banking page and lifted her fingers off the keyboard.
Then, she retyped a few words:
Honey, tell me, what kind of business have you been doing this past month? How did you make so much money?
[The interest alone is 100,000, so you must have made a lot of money.]
If it weren't for making a lot of money, my husband would never casually give me 100,000 yuan in interest.
Soon, North Wind replied: [It's a secret.]
[I can do it with you when I have time later.]
Su Qianqian looked at the word "secret" and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up slightly.
She didn't ask any further questions.
Because Su Qianqian was never the type to keep asking questions until she got to the bottom of things.
Moreover, she was already convinced that her husband was a financial genius.
Su Qianqian leaned back in her chair, looking at the light gray avatar in the chat box, when a thought she had never had before suddenly popped into her mind.
She hesitated for a moment before typing, her fingers hovering over the keyboard for several seconds.
In the end, it was still played:
Honey, can we meet?
