Chapter 296
296 Meeting Zhang Zhan
“This is exactly why you deserve to be an assistant for the rest of your life!” The Manager expected better from him. “You only know that the old lady wanted to deposit the money in another place. Didn’t you hear why she wanted to change to another bank?”
The assistant was dumbfounded. “Ah? Isn’t it just to give her granddaughter a dowry?”
“She already prepared 2,000 taels for her granddaughter. If she intends to deposit money in the future for someone more important, won’t it be a much larger amount?” The Manager said, “If we lose this 2,000 taels of savings and it’s stored in another bank, not to mention that it’ll be difficult to explain to the owner, we’ll even suffer a huge loss!”
There was also something the Manager did not say. When the old lady spoke, her tone was very dignified.
Such a person was definitely not as ordinary as she appeared.
Even if she was dressed like an ordinary old farmer, the Manager had to consider if the other party was deliberately sent by the Boss to test him.
After all, this kind of thing had happened before.
There was no such thing as looking down on customers in their bank. If they offended any big shot, their little bank would be gone.
As an outstanding Manager, he naturally would not let such a bad thing happen.
If she was a big shot in disguise, he would treat it as forming a good relationship.
If it was just a family who had made a fortune, his actions today would have allowed him to retain a big customer. The shop would not have suffered any losses.
The assistant rubbed his head and thought for a long time, but he could not figure it out. He only knew that the Manager had said that regardless of whether the customers looked poor or rich, he could not despise or ridicule them.
Old Madam Wang had received a token from the Ruyi Bank. It was an iron token with an inner mark that noted the year and name of the Ruyi Bank.
There was also a mark on it which represents the amount of 2,000 taels. Using it, one could collect silver or banknotes from the Ruyi Bank and the seven or eight banks under it at any time.
She could also use the token to make payment in the more than ten shops related to the Ruyi Bank.
2,000 taels was naturally not enough to make the shopkeeper be willing to take out such a useful thing. However, who asked Old Madam Wang to be so good at talking?
Old Madam Wang had considered that when Qin Huai’s gold arrived, she would see if it was in banknotes or real gold.
If it was gold, she would place it in Ah Yu’s spatial pocket. If it was banknotes, she would also store this amount in the token.
After dealing with the banknotes, Old Madam Wang went to the county office again.
The gatekeeper of the county office saw that the clothes Old Madam Wang was wearing were not patched.
Even though the style was ordinary, he did not dare to be negligent.
He thought to himself that this old lady was indeed pretending to be weak previously. Fortunately, she was magnanimous and did not take things to heart.
The former Imperial Envoy had now lowered himself to be the county magistrate of their county city, so he did not dare to offend his relatives.
“Old Madam, you’re here again? Are you looking for our Lord?” The gatekeeper smiled very obsequiously.
“Please inform him that Old Madam Wang of the Hu Village has something to discuss.”
“Alright, alright. Follow me. The weather outside is cold. Please wait in the guest hall first.”
After arranging for Old Madam Wang, the gatekeeper ran to Zhang Zhan’s side.
Outside the hall, a servant stopped him. After asking for the reason, he said, “Invite the Old Madam to the Qinglian Pavilion first. I’ll inform the Lord.”
The servant knew that their Young Master was very concerned about the Hu Family Village and had even asked a few times about their situation when he returned.
When Zhang Zhan heard this, he indeed put down the work that was not considered urgent and went to the Qinglian Pavilion.
At that time, Old Madam Wang had just sat down on the wooden chair.
“Old Madam, why are you here?” Zhang Zhan saw Old Madam Wang and subconsciously smiled.
However, when he saw Old Madam Wang wearing a pair of gray cloth pants, he recalled something that he did not want to remember for the rest of his life.
Why did the fabric of these pants look so familiar?
Before he could think further.
Old Madam Wang said in a grateful tone, “Previously, Lord Zhang gave us some cloth, so we had the time to tailor it into autumn pants.”
Zhang Zhan had given them cloth a few times, but this fabric had come from the only time he was saved.
Zhang Zhan :”…”
He suspected that the old lady was here to find trouble today.
Could it be that he had previously asked the Wang Family to take in witnesses and made her unhappy?
