Chapter 155: Chapter 123: The Third Action Round_3 Chapter 155: Chapter 123: The Third Action Round_3 “What are you talking about, what did Old Wang tell you?”
Zhou Wang was taken aback.
“It’s about inviting you to further upgrade and become a Zhao Hang private banking user. Since your assets have reached the threshold, Manager Wang specifically mentioned this…”
Through Xu Wenqian’s explanation, Zhou Wang finally understood.
The Golden Sunflower Card he was using, although it had certain thresholds, wasn’t particularly high—you could apply if your average daily transferable assets were over 500,000.
But private banking was a completely different concept. For Zhao Hang, you needed more than Ten Million in long-term assets.
In fact, just with Golden Sunflower, Zhao Hang couldn’t have provided him with so many extra privileges, including Xu Wenqian paying so much attention to Zhou Wang, largely because the bank saw the huge potential Zhou Wang exhibited.
His score in the bank’s internal system far exceeded most Golden Sunflower Card users.
Now that the funds in his account had exceeded Ten Million, and he had shown substantial fixed assets, being invited as a private banking user was only natural.
Old Wang had already instructed Xu Wenqian, but she hadn’t had the chance to ask Zhou Wang.
Private banking customers enjoyed even more privileges and benefits. In fact, reaching this point, he would truly have his own private customer manager at the bank, and benefits like global connection, global airport lounges, comprehensive medical services, and golf play across various locations.
Moreover, one major benefit highly valued by many was the potential for expanding connections and resource exchange.
In the bank’s private club, there were resources that outsiders simply couldn’t find, which members might share freely.
To give a relatable example, suppose a band is hosting a concert in Ming City, and a private banking customer has some complimentary VIP tickets but is too lazy to go, they could share them in the club for anyone interested.
Everyone liked showing off a little, as if benefits slipped through the gaps of their fingers…
This was just a lowest-level form, there were more unimaginable benefits exchanged, both openly and covertly.
“Oh, we can talk about that later. What I want to discuss with you is something else… Have a seat first.”
When the puzzled Xu Wenqian sat down again, Zhou Wang began speaking, “What I mean is, would you be interested in working with me?”
“Ah!”
Xu Wenqian was clearly surprised, “Mr. Zhou, are you saying you want me to quit my bank job and work with you completely?”
“Yes.”
“I… this is a bit sudden…”
Xu Wenqian took a deep breath, “Mr. Zhou, can I ask why you have this idea?”
“Because your voice sounds pleasant, I quite like it.”
Zhou Wang recalled when the thought first occurred to him, thinking that Xu Wenqian’s voice would sound very comfortable reporting work, so he blurted it out.
But Xu Wenqian blushed, Mr. Zhou meant her proper voice, right?
Though, he seemed to have heard everything improper as well.
“Then, if I follow you, what exactly would I be doing?”
“For now, you would be an assistant. Actually, I originally wanted you as a financial secretary, but at this stage, it might not be so specialized. You’d need to look after a variety of things, including my life.”
Zhou Wang thought for a moment and said.
“I, I’m worried I might not do well…”
Xu Wenqian was visibly tempted; with her current position at the bank, her promotion prospects were clear, and it would not be surprising if, maybe after working hard for one or two decades, she had a chance to transfer from senior customer manager to branch manager.
But that would be very difficult.
The bigger possibility was working as a customer manager until retirement, leading a plain life…
Xu Wenqian wasn’t materialistic, but that didn’t mean she wasn’t ambitious. In fact, she was quite a career-driven girl; otherwise, she wouldn’t have had so many arguments with Cheng Zhe over work issues…
“What is your current salary?”
Seeing Xu Wenqian was tempted, Zhou Wang asked.
“With the full insurance and housing fund, it’s about less than ten thousand…”
“I’ll double it for you. A base salary of twenty thousand a month, with annual salary adjustments, bonuses to be discussed separately. If you agree, we can settle this, and we can discuss the details slowly.”
Having calculated beforehand, Zhou Wang straightforwardly laid down the terms.
In Ming City, where the officially published average monthly wage was only eight to nine thousand, a position with a monthly salary of twenty thousand wasn’t unheard of, but you’d be hard-pressed to find one on recruitment platforms.
This was clearly an offer Xu Wenqian couldn’t refuse.
The most important thing was that the olive branch Zhou Wang extended might be her only chance to achieve a leap in social status…
Xu Wenqian’s breath quickened, and after a brief silence, she looked up and solemnly spoke, “Mr. Zhou, since you say so, I’m willing to give it a shot, and if I fail to satisfy you, I’ll personally request a salary cut.”
Zhou Wang smiled nonchalantly and was about to say something when a system prompt suddenly sounded in his mind.
Ding!
