When Xiao Bei heard this, he knew the other party wanted to win him over.

In his previous life, Xiao Bei was also in business, but he had never seen a bank president fawn over him like this.

The main reason was that although Xiao Bei was a billionaire, his deposits in the bank were only tens of millions.

If it were a branch in some smaller city, people might have been more respectful towards him.

However, Xiao Bei's account was opened at the head office of the Construction Bank in Hangcheng.

His assets really weren't enough to warrant that kind of attention.

But now it was different. His assets had reached 700 million. From a financial perspective, that could be valued at least five times higher!

After all, that was 700 million funds. No matter which bank it was in, he would be treated as a VIP guest.

Xiao Bei smiled slightly and then said, "Director Fu, I apologize, but I'm not in Ningcheng right now. I'm in Hangcheng."

The person on the other end of the phone was stunned and felt extremely flustered. He immediately said, "Then Mr. Xiao, when will you be back in Ningcheng? I'll come to visit you!"

"I'm studying in Hangcheng right now," Xiao Bei said calmly.

"However, if Director Fu can be transferred to Hangcheng, perhaps we can cooperate!"

Xiao Bei thought for a moment and then said this. The reason he said this was actually quite simple. Currently, besides having money, Xiao Bei lacked social status. To put it bluntly, he lacked connections.

But if he could cooperate with the president of a regional head office, his network of connections would definitely improve. This was why Xiao Bei said what he did.

After hearing Xiao Bei's words, the other party clearly fell silent. Xiao Bei wasn't in a hurry and just waited in the car.

Soon, a question came from the other side: "May I ask how Mr. Xiao envisions our cooperation?"

Hearing this, it was Xiao Bei's turn to be surprised.

From the tone of his voice, it seemed the person behind him had considerable influence.

"Director Fu, as long as you can successfully transfer to the Hangcheng head office, I guarantee that at least 1 billion will be deposited in my account annually for you to manage!"

"May I ask what industry Mr. Xiao is in? We investigated the source of your funds, and most of it was obtained from the stock market!"

Fu Guochun also had his own considerations. If Xiao Bei was just a speculator, and the stock market was unpredictable, he wouldn't make the move, even though Xiao Bei's offer was very tempting.

"I'm not only involved in the stock market, but also in finance and venture capital!"

"How about this, Mr. Xiao, I'll consider it and get back to you!"

"Okay, Director Fu!"

After speaking, both of them hung up the phone tacitly. Xiao Bei knew that when the other party said they would consider it, they were actually still observing. But to be fair, Xiao Bei really needed an ally to help him develop faster.

Thinking about it, Xiao Bei opened the System Mall. Since he wanted to bring someone over, he had to let them know his capabilities, didn't he?

On the other side, Fu Guochun, after hanging up the phone, lit a cigarette.

After a moment of thought, he picked up the office landline and said, "Xiao Li, come to my office."

"Okay, Director Fu!"

Soon, a woman walked into Fu Guochun's office.

"Director Fu, you were looking for me?"

"This is the information of a major client. Please keep an eye on him for me, and try to find out about his business dealings!"

The woman named Xiao Li picked up Xiao Bei's file. When she saw that the permission level for Xiao Bei's personal information was insufficient, she immediately became serious.

Yes, insufficient permission.

Xiao Bei didn't know that on the very first day the system was activated, Xiao Bei's identity had been classified. It could be said that in the entire Xia Country, only a handful of people knew Xiao Bei's true identity!

In Hangcheng, Xiao Bei smiled slightly. He had just bought something good.

But he didn't study it immediately. He checked the time; it was already 2 PM.

Xiao Bei directly searched for a decoration company online.

After contacting them, Xiao Bei drove over.

Xiao Bei had originally planned to go directly to the Hangcheng Design Institute, but he thought about his current scale and gave up.

So, Xiao Bei chose a design company specializing in office building decoration – Qinglan Design Company.

Qinglan Design Company was a relatively well-known interior and office building design company in Hangcheng.

It was also not far from Xiao Bei's current location, only a 15-minute drive away.

After parking his car, Xiao Bei got out with a copy of the floor plan he had obtained from the property management.

Qinglan Design Company, as expected of a design firm, was located in a three-story detached villa within Xixi Wetland.

Judging by the exterior decoration, one could tell they were designers.

As soon as Xiao Bei entered the lobby, he saw a unique reception wall. Other companies might have a simple square wall with some illuminated fonts.

But Qinglan Company's reception wall resembled the wall structures of Suzhou gardens in Jiangnan water towns.

It was something that people liked at first sight.

"Hello, sir, are you here for a consultation?"

Just as Xiao Bei was looking at the image wall, a young woman holding a coffee walked over from the side.

"Oh, yes, I'm here for a consultation. Who is your best designer?"

Hearing this, the young lady looked at Xiao Bei and said with a smile, "Our best designer is, of course, our boss. Normally, you need an appointment to see our boss, but you're very lucky today, sir. Our boss is in the office right now. May I have your surname?"

"My surname is Xiao!"

Xiao Bei politely stated his name.

"Okay, Mr. Xiao, I'll take you there now!"

"Thank you!"

After speaking, the young lady led Xiao Bei into Qinglan Studio. The entire first floor was a grand hall, and no one was working, but the environment was excellent, as if the decor of Jiangnan in the rain had been moved indoors.

"Mr. Xiao, the first floor is our resting and leisure area, and the second floor is our work area!"

The young lady explained with a smile to Xiao Bei.

Soon, the two arrived on the second floor. There was a reception desk on the second floor, which was likely where the young lady worked.

This was because there was no one at the reception desk at the moment.

Behind the reception desk were individual cubicles, which were presumably the designers' offices.

However, the two did not linger on the second floor but went directly up to the third floor.

The third floor was different again, like entering a bamboo forest.

Upon entering the entire third floor, there was a small flowing water bridge.

After crossing the bridge, a central corridor appeared, with bamboo on both sides, arranged in a staggered pattern.

Soon, they reached the depths of the bamboo forest.

It was an office that looked like a thatched cottage from the outside.

In front, there was also a fence woven from bamboo. Inside the fence was a small courtyard with a tea set.

Beside it, a thin stream flowed.

"Mr. Xiao, please come in!"

After the young lady spoke, she directly led Xiao Bei into the "thatched cottage"!

Having seen the renovation, Xiao Bei was also quite curious about the designer he was about to meet, who was also the boss of Qinglan.
