Chapter 108: Taking Action

“Comrade, there’s really no need to make such a fuss! We’re explaining things nicely to you now, but if you insist on being stubborn, we’ll have no choice but to ask you to leave.”
The lead security guard spoke calmly.
Shen Guodong sneered.
He opened the bag he carried.
“I’m asking you—are you really going to force me out? If so, and you still want me to leave, then I won’t waste any more words.” Shen Guodong’s voice was cold.
No matter the era, people have always feared the powerful and respected the wealthy, instinctively knowing not to offend those with money.
So when the guards saw Shen Guodong carrying so much cash, their eyes widened in shock, and the crowd waiting behind turned red with envy.
When had they ever seen so much money?
Each time they deposited cash, it was just tens or a hundred at most.
But here was a man depositing tens of thousands at a time.
Each bundle was at least a thousand; that full bag must contain several tens of thousands.
The crowd seemed to go mad with amazement!
Everyone stared wide-eyed.
“He’s a ten-thousand-yuan household, my god! No wonder he’s so brazen.”
“Ten-thousand-yuan household? I think it’s much more—after all, he can casually deposit tens of thousands; his wealth is definitely more than that!”
“I’ve always heard about rich people, but now I see one for myself—he doesn’t look so different from us!”
“Comparing ourselves to others is infuriating! Why do we earn only a few dozen a month, while he can have money to this extent? It’s beyond imagination.”
“That’s right!”
Voices rose in a flurry of discussion.
The security guards dared say nothing more. Depositing tens of thousands in the bank—if they drove him away and the branch manager found out later, none of them would keep their jobs!
That was inevitable.
Such a big client, they had to curry favor.
The staff at the counters sensed trouble and quickly distanced themselves from the arrogant woman who was doing her nails, fearing they might be implicated and lose their jobs as well.
“Comrade, you’re here to deposit money, aren’t you? Please hurry…there are so many people waiting behind you, don’t waste everyone’s time!” The woman doing her nails, sensing the shift, hurriedly put on a fawning expression—now she suddenly cared about wasting time.
Shen Guodong kept sneering. Why hadn’t she cared before?

Since things had already happened, he didn’t mind wasting a little time to completely correct this bad atmosphere. People always learn their lesson only after suffering a setback.
Although Shen Guodong couldn’t change the whole system, at least the staff at this branch had witnessed the incident firsthand and would remember it from now on.
That much was certain.
In that moment, Shen Guodong smiled and said, “Have your branch manager come meet me.”
“Comrade…there’s no need to make this a big deal. We’ll deposit your money for you, it’s fine!” The woman doing her nails finally panicked. If the manager learned about this, she’d surely be disciplined.
“Heh, is it really making a big deal? For someone like you, don’t you think I should? If you want me to deposit these sixty thousand yuan in your bank today, then bring the manager.”
Shen Guodong sneered. The bank’s competition was fierce.
They used every means to attract depositors.
Sixty thousand was a sum any branch had to fight for.
“Of course, if you don’t bring the manager, then I won’t deposit in your Industrial Bank—I’ll go to the Construction Bank across the street! If I remember correctly, you’re competing with them for the top spot, aren’t you?”
Shen Guodong smiled coldly.
It was a crucial time.
Every bit of money had to be fought for, had to be seized.
That was inevitable.
They could never afford to let such funds slip away.
The staff exchanged nervous glances.
Shen Guodong’s demands were uncompromising. If they refused and it was investigated, the responsibility would be more than they could bear.
Though the woman begged in every way, she still ended up alerting the branch manager.
A portly middle-aged man soon hurried over.
“Comrade, what business do you need? I’ll personally handle it for you.” The manager smiled ingratiatingly. “I am Li Chunsheng, the manager of this branch.”
“Manager Li, I can deposit this sixty thousand yuan in your bank, but your service attitude here needs serious reform.
I won’t even mention the low counters, but your staff’s attitude must improve! And this woman, doing her nails during work hours and ignoring the many people waiting—how do you plan to handle it?”
Shen Guodong said.
Li Chunsheng turned and glared fiercely at the woman.
He paused to consider. “Comrade, this was our staff’s mistake. I’ll give her a major demerit—will that satisfy you?”

If it was just a demerit, that was acceptable.
The woman breathed a sigh of relief.
But Shen Guodong had no intention of letting her off so easily. He said, “A demerit? Forget it! I think this money is destined for the Construction Bank!”
“Ah!”
Li Chunsheng grew anxious and hurried forward, blocking Shen Guodong’s way. “Comrade…how about this, I’ll terminate her employment immediately! Effective right now. You can safely deposit your money with us, and I promise our branch’s service attitude will be thoroughly improved!”
As soon as he finished speaking,
the woman’s face changed dramatically.
She could hardly believe it.
The manager was actually going to fire her!
“Manager, I was wrong…please don’t fire me! I’ll change, I won’t do anything unrelated to work, and I’ll treat every customer with enthusiasm from now on.”
The woman was completely flustered, filled with regret.
“You’re fired, didn’t you hear?”
Li Chunsheng barked angrily.
When forced to choose between sixty thousand yuan and this employee,
he knew which was more important.
Bank positions were highly sought after, with countless applicants every year.
But such a high-value customer—
once lost to another bank, that client would never return.
So Li Chunsheng made his decision immediately.
The onlookers cheered. They often visited this bank and had long been dissatisfied, but lacked a channel for complaints.
Now, they were genuinely delighted!
Thunderous applause erupted.
