Chapter 408
Chapter 408: Chapter 55: Childlike Innocence Remains_3 Chapter 408: Chapter 55: Childlike Innocence Remains_3 I have to come up with a plan.
I must find a way…
to determine within just a few tens of seconds of survival and within a few steps of movement whether Tem Bank exists.
Hmm…
Got it!
“Brother Wang, I have one small request, and this will be the only one.
After that, you can manage Tem Bank as you originally intended, and I won’t interfere at all,”
Lin Xian said while looking at Brother Wang:
“I hope we can set the official opening date for Tem Bank to August 28th, 2024.
Until then, we’ll operate on a trial basis until the grand opening ceremony on August 28th, 2024, which we’ll define as the true opening date of Tem Bank.”
Brother Wang nodded dumbly:
“That’s possible…
but is there any special significance to this?”
“There is, listen to me continue,” Lin Xian said with a smile:

“My request is—”“[Tem Bank’s charter must include a rule stating that a grand celebration must be held every 100th anniversary, with as many airships as possible adorned with the Tem Bank logo flying over Donghai City all day to celebrate!]”
“Think about it, since we are a time bank, the biggest gimmick is time itself.
Every 100 years, we definitely need to make a big deal out of it and let everyone know about our long history.
This tradition must be upheld; it’s very important!”
Brother Wang continued to nod dumbly:
“That’s…
I don’t see any big problem with it, it’s also a corporate culture.
But just to confirm, does it have to be airships?”
“Yes, the more, the better, and the bigger, the better.
Such a centennial celebration has to be done on a grand scale,” Lin Xian emphasized:
“[In 2124, 2224…
2524, 2624 on August 28th…
all these airships bearing the Tem Bank logo must float in the city skyline all day long.
This is my one request, Brother Wang, please ensure it is fulfilled.]”
“No problem.”
Brother Wang replied, nodding:
“I’m just curious, why choose August 28th?
Is this date important to you?”
“Ah…
that date, that date…” Lin Xian struggled, scratching his head.
“The animated film ‘Doraemon: Nobita and the Sky’s Ideal Land’ was released on August 28th this year,” VV’s voice timely came through the Bluetooth earpiece.
“August 28th is the release date of the movie ‘Doraemon: Nobita and the Sky’s Ideal Land,’” Lin Xian said calmly:
“I also like ‘Doraemon,’ and this movie is about a time airship traveling through time.
The very reason you wanted to establish Tem Bank was inspired by Doraemon, isn’t that perfectly aligned with our theme?”
Hiss…
After speaking, Lin Xian felt awkward.
It was a rationale too contrived to be any more contrived, forcibly made to sound reasonable.
“So that’s why!”
Overwhelmed with emotion, Brother Wang’s eyes brimmed with tears:
“Lin Xian, you really understand me!
I do love Doraemon so much!
At my age, I’ve always been embarrassed to admit such a childish hobby, but you truly are the soulmate of my life!
𝘯𝗈𝘷𝘨𝘰.co
I still watch every episode of ‘Doraemon;’ it’s my favorite animation!”
“Mutual feelings, then it’s settled.”
…
After sending Brother Wang off, Lin Xian let out a sigh of relief and lay back in his office chair:
“VV, couldn’t you come up with a smoother reason?
The one you gave me was really a mouthful to say.”
“That was the most fitting reason I could find,” VV said through the Bluetooth earpiece:
“I can’t exactly say it’s the birthday of the girl you like the most, can I?
By the way, Chu Anqing’s birthday is March 28th.”
“I didn’t ask you that,” Lin Xian said, exasperated.
“I’m just reminding you to deepen your memory,” VV responded:
“You should consider what to give her for her birthday.”
“Big Brother…”
Lin Xian pointed at the calendar on his desk:
“It’s not even October yet, and you’re already planning her birthday for next year?
Also, get your role straight, will you?
You’re clearly Zhao Yingjun’s dog.”
“No!”
VV was emphatic, as if standing akimbo:
“I am staunchly in An Qing’s camp!
Firm for 600 years unwavering!”
“Enough, enough, stop your yapping, let me have some peace,”
Lin Xian directly tossed the Bluetooth earpiece on his desk and, supporting his head with his hands, closed his eyes to think.
Based on what he had just arranged with Brother Wang, the establishment of Tem Bank was a sure thing, not to worry about.
And with the business model of Tem Bank, persisting for 600 years wasn’t difficult.
It was just about a bunch of vaults, and since most of them involved long-term storage for decades or even centuries, the day-to-day operations wouldn’t be too busy or frequent.
Besides, 600 years into the future, Tem Bank had somehow managed to survive until August 28th, 2624, without him interfering.
Now, with even more initial funding and Rhein Company providing support, it should be fine.
No problem.
What Lin Xian was most concerned about now was when he’d be able to see the Tem Bank airship in the sky of the Fourth Dreamland.
Because in the Fourth Dreamland, he was trapped, unable to move a muscle.
So the only way to know if Tem Bank had persisted for 600 years and if it existed in the Fourth Dreamland was to look up at the sky in the tens of seconds before getting electrified and see if he could spot an advertising airship with Tem Bank’s logo.
