Daily Intelligence System: Financial Independence

Chapter 669: Chapter 318: President Jiang, You Must Join Us for Lunch Today! (Part 2)

"Let’s go, let’s go, I’ll go downstairs with you to greet the guest."

Vice Chairman Ren Jianjun rarely gets to entertain someone as influential as Jiang Tao in a year.

After listening to Fang Qi’s report, he quickly got up from his seat, and the two headed downstairs together.

"Xiao Fang, what’s the situation with this distinguished guest?"

On the way downstairs, Ren Jianjun casually inquired about Jiang Tao’s background.

"He’s my cousin-in-law, named Jiang Tao."

Fang Qi answered respectfully, with a proud expression on her face.

"Your cousin-in-law? Not bad, Xiao Fang, your family has such strong connections!"

Ren Jianjun, upon hearing Fang Qi’s response, grew to admire his subordinate even more.

As a bank manager, Ren Jianjun understood better than Fang Qi what it meant to be able to invest with 20 million in cash.

Even in an international mega-city like Beijing, filled with wealthy individuals,

those who can take out 20 million to buy financial products are still in the minority.

"Yes, my cousin-in-law is outstanding. You’ll understand when you meet him."

Fang Qi nodded with a smile, fully convinced now of her cousin-in-law Jiang Tao’s abilities, having become his admirer.

"Very good, very good. Having such relatives is invaluable, make sure to maintain those connections."

"Especially for us in the banking industry, quality connections are vital."

Ren Jianjun walked alongside Fang Qi, offering sincere advice in a fatherly manner.

People associate with those of similar status.

With Jiang Tao’s capabilities, he must have many equally capable friends around him.

If Fang Qi could maintain a good relationship with Jiang Tao, he could easily introduce her to new business opportunities.

As they chatted, they soon arrived at the door of the VIP room where Jiang Tao was waiting downstairs.

Fang Qi knocked, then gently opened the door upon hearing Jiang Tao’s voice, bringing Ren Jianjun into the room.

Upon entering, Ren Jianjun was somewhat surprised by how young Jiang Tao looked, sitting steadily in the chair.

Jiang Tao appeared to be only in his thirties at most.

Achieving such a large fortune at such a young age is indeed rare!

Jiang Tao also glanced at Ren Jianjun, recognizing that attaining a bank manager position indicated a level of competence.

"Cousin-in-law, let me introduce you. This is our Chairman, Ren Jianjun. Chairman Ren, this is my cousin-in-law, Jiang Tao."

Fang Qi introduced them to each other as soon as she entered the room.

"Hello, President Jiang, thank you for trusting and supporting our Longze Branch."

Ren Jianjun smiled and approached Jiang Tao, reaching out to shake hands as Jiang Tao stood up.

"Hello, Chairman Ren, I’ve heard so much about you. Meeting you today, you truly live up to your reputation."

Jiang Tao smiled and extended his hand, symbolically shaking Ren Jianjun’s hand.

"President Jiang, you’re too kind. I have no great reputation, just an old soldier quietly contributing here at ICBC. Please have a seat, please."

After a polite exchange, Ren Jianjun and Jiang Tao each took a seat, and Fang Qi refilled their coffee and tea.

"President Jiang, I’ve heard from Xiao Fang that you plan to invest 20 million in the product we’re offering..."

Ren Jianjun got straight to the point and provided a detailed analysis of the product Jiang Tao was interested in purchasing.

However, his analysis was from the bank’s perspective, unlike Fang Qi, who stood by Jiang Tao’s side.

"Yes, yes, what Chairman Ren said makes sense."

Jiang Tao listened patiently to Ren Jianjun’s analysis and occasionally agreed.

In truth, whether it was Fang Qi’s analysis or Ren Jianjun’s, he didn’t take them too seriously.

No matter how they analyzed it, Brother Tongzi’s direct information was more valuable.

Since Brother Tongzi mentioned that this financial product was set to skyrocket, there must be no mistake.

From around 11 in the morning, when Ren Jianjun went downstairs, they talked until noon when the bank staff finished for lunch at half-past twelve.

After signing several contracts and agency agreements, Jiang Tao also completed the transfer procedure.

He swiftly transferred 20 million in cash to the bank account provided by Fang Qi.

"President Jiang, thank you for your trust and great support for our ICBC."

"I’ve asked my assistant to make a reservation at a nearby restaurant. I’d be honored if you would join us."

With the 20 million business secured, Ren Jianjun was in a great mood, warmly inviting Jiang Tao to join him.

"Unfortunately, Chairman Ren, I’ve already arranged to have lunch with a good friend."

Jiang Tao shrugged, showing a slightly regretful expression.

Earlier, when Fang Qi went upstairs to fetch Ren Jianjun, Zhang Chao had already called and agreed that he would host Jiang Tao for lunch today.

"That’s easy, President Jiang. You can invite your friend along too; the more, the merrier!"

"In our line of work, we love making friends, especially ones as excellent as President Jiang."

Ren Jianjun smiled at Jiang Tao, his face sincere and expectant.

With such a good opportunity to get closer to Jiang Tao today, he wasn’t about to let it slip.

Inviting one or two doesn’t matter; the more friends, the better! If Jiang Tao’s friend is as capable as he is, even better!

Jiang Tao laughed, "Chairman Ren, there’s a saying, ’a guest doesn’t bring a guest...’"

"No such rule here! I, Ren Jianjun, love making friends, the more, the merrier!"

"President Jiang, please join us for lunch today; otherwise, I’ll feel uneasy."

Ren Jianjun continued to smile at Jiang Tao, his smile sincere and not merely polite.

"Alright then, thank you, Chairman Ren, for the treat."

Jiang Tao smiled and readily accepted Ren Jianjun’s lunch invitation.

After today’s interaction with Ren Jianjun, Jiang Tao felt that Old Ren was a straightforward and warm person.

It might be worthwhile to engage further and see if they could strike up a friendship.

The more friends, the more opportunities.

No one can say they’ll never need help in life.

There might come a time when he needs Chairman Ren’s assistance in the future.

"Haha, President Jiang, you’re too polite. Others would be scrambling for a chance to sit at the same table with such a talented young person as yourself."

"President Jiang, please, my driver has the car ready. Let’s head over now."

"Xiao Fang, you should come along too. Make sure to look after your cousin-in-law."

Ren Jianjun cheerfully beckoned Fang Qi to join them.

Entertaining Jiang Tao naturally included having Fang Qi, his cousin, present.

"Yes, Chairman! I’ll ensure to complete the task~"

Fang Qi said with a radiant smile on her face.

In less than a day, she had found her dream person and gained love.

Then, she received great support from her cousin-in-law Jiang Tao, achieving a significant breakthrough at work.

A double success in love and career.

At this moment, Fang Qi felt she was at the pinnacle of her life!

Her excitement was unprecedented!

"President Jiang, please."

"Chairman Ren, please."

After a few courteous exchanges, Ren Jianjun and Jiang Tao stepped out of the VIP room, heading towards the back of the bank.

They went to the back, and everyone got into a black Audi A6 together.

Around 1 PM.

The Audi A6 parked in an open-air parking lot in front of the Fulong Hotel.

As soon as they got out of the car, Fang Qi spotted Zhang Chao leaning against a black BMW X7, smoking.

"Brother Chao~"

Fang Qi waved to Zhang Chao, her smile even more radiant.

"Oh..."

Ren Jianjun heard Fang Qi’s greeting to Zhang Chao and noticed the BMW X7 he was leaning against.

A look of slight surprise flashed in his eyes.

It seems Xiao Fang’s relationship with this young man isn’t ordinary?

"Brother Jiang, Qiqi."

Upon hearing Fang Qi’s voice, Zhang Chao quickly dropped his cigarette butt and came forward with a smile.

"You must be Chairman Ren? Let me introduce myself. I’m Zhang Chao, Qiqi’s boyfriend."

"I hope you’ll take good care of our Qiqi in the future."

Zhang Chao openly acknowledged his relationship with Fang Qi, confidently introducing himself.
