As they walked halfway, He Ting suddenly stopped the car in front of a bank. Lin Feng, puzzled, asked, "Captain He, didn't you say we were going to find a place to discuss the car compensation? Why is there food inside the bank?"
"Are you a pig? All you think about is eating. I can't be as wealthy as you, carrying thousands or tens of thousands with me is fine, but if I had 120,000 on me, I wouldn't be able to handle it. So, it's safer for me to deposit the money into my bank card," He Ting said, not waiting for Lin Feng's response before walking inside.
"Hey... wait..." Lin Feng, who had just figured out what was happening, didn't have time to say anything before He Ting had already stepped ahead.
This style is truly unique! Lin Feng could only sigh and follow her into the bank.
After all, he still owed this woman a car; he couldn't just leave first. If this fierce woman got angry and accused him of fleeing from justice, it would be a huge loss.
Given He Ting's fierce personality, akin to a female tyrannosaurus, Lin Feng felt she could definitely do something like that.
He hurried a few steps to catch up with He Ting and entered the bank together.
"Hello, sir. How can we assist you today?" As soon as they entered the bank, a service attendant with a sweet smile approached and bowed politely.
Lin Feng was taken aback; this was clearly VIP treatment.
However, He Ting showed no surprise at all and said, "We're here to deposit money. Please lead the way."
The service attendant smiled sweetly in response and turned to guide them.
In reality, the bank lobby was quite small; the service items were all displayed at the windows. Lin Feng still didn't understand why they needed a guide and felt that everything about entering the bank was rather mysterious.
Lin Feng had been to the Bank before; he even had a card from there, but it only contained a few hundred dollars in cash. Having been reborn, Lin Feng was now facing the medical expenses from his car accident ten years ago, and all he had left was that few hundred dollars in the card.
Fortunately, he had over eighteen million stored in the magic ring; otherwise, Lin Feng would really be quite poor.
"What’s going on?" Unable to hold back any longer, Lin Feng tugged at He Ting's sleeve and asked.
"Hehe... Boss, you drove a BMW to the Bank; of course, they would treat you like a big client!" He Ting laughed and explained when she saw Lin Feng still confused.
Oh, so that’s what the camera at the entrance was for? Lin Feng could only smile wryly at this.
These days, everything emphasized tiered treatment; even depositing money required such distinctions.
"Welcome, gentlemen. This is where you can make your deposits. Please have a seat and enjoy some refreshments," the Service Attendant led Lin Feng and He Ting into an office. Lin Feng guessed it was a reception room for VIPs, complete with a refrigerator and air conditioning, looking quite different from the lobby.
Is this how wealthy people are treated? This was Lin Feng's first experience of such service. In his previous life as a mercenary, he often dealt with banks for transfers, but he had never seen a mercenary enjoying VIP services at a bank.
"Oh, just two cups of warm coffee for us," Lin Feng said while admiring the surroundings. He Ting spoke to the Service Attendant.
Lin Feng's curious glances around made the Waiter think that he was the real boss. Just look at his demeanor; he wouldn’t even personally state what he wanted to drink and needed his Secretary to help him out.
It made sense; although Lin Feng had never enjoyed VIP treatment at a bank before, during his time as a mercenary, he had dealt with banks frequently—he just hadn’t robbed one yet. So no matter how curious he was, he wouldn’t act like a country bumpkin entering a grand garden.
People would only think that this was the boss inspecting the overall quality of the Bank.
As for the question of "why the overall quality of this Bank can be discerned just by looking at the decorations and facilities in the reception area," Lin Feng didn't know. Anyway, that's how the receptionist understood it.
In short, Lin Feng inadvertently made people think he was a big boss.
Before long, a chubby man who clearly looked like a Manager walked into the reception area. Upon seeing Lin Feng, he nodded and bowed, saying some nonsense like "Welcome to our establishment; it truly shines with your presence." Then he proceeded to offer cigarettes and pour coffee, which made Lin Feng feel overwhelmed by his enthusiasm.
Wasn't it just depositing some money? Did it have to be like this?
"I don't smoke. This gentleman is here to deposit money." In both his past and present lives, Lin Feng had never smoked. This habit was similar to drinking; it was something retired soldiers were particularly fond of, while Lin Feng was only interested in alcohol.
Cigarettes would only make one more alert, while alcohol would lead to a state of unconsciousness after getting drunk, which suited Lin Feng's previous state of being like a walking corpse.
"Oh, sir, may I ask your name?" The chubby Manager still wasn't giving up and asked Lin Feng.
Although Lin Feng wasn't depositing money, who among the wealthy didn't need to save money? Perhaps one day he would need to deposit money. Now that they were somewhat familiar, he might even consider putting his money in this Bank.
There’s a professional term for this: "potential customer."
"My surname is Lin. Hurry up; we still need to go eat!" Lin Feng was growing impatient. He had already said that He Ting was the one depositing money; why was this dragging on?
In fact, it wasn't that Lin Feng had a bad temper; when he had no money before, he had faced disdain even when trying to deposit money. He personally didn't have a good impression of banks.
Naturally, he wouldn't treat people and things he didn't have a good impression of with kindness.
"Oh, Mr. Lin, then I'll assist this beautiful lady first. Please wait a moment," the Manager said before preparing to help He Ting with her deposit.
Finally, after the Manager's lengthy explanations, Lin Feng and He Ting completed their deposit and walked out of the bank.
"I say, big boss, why didn't you deposit a little money? After all, they were quite enthusiastic," He Ting teased as she noticed Lin Feng's frustrated expression from the Manager's chatter.
Ever since Lin Feng handed over 120,000 to Xiao Na's family to understand usury, He Ting enjoyed jokingly calling him the big boss.
"Hehe... I like to keep my money close; it gives me a sense of security," Lin Feng joked, not revealing his true reasons.
"Haha... you money lover," He Ting laughed, knowing that Lin Feng wasn't really a money lover. If he were, he wouldn't have given away 120,000 for a good cause. She playfully took out her keys and insisted on driving them to dinner.
Since He Ting was driving, Lin Feng didn't even ask where they were going to eat. He leaned back in his seat and chatted casually with her. Just as he was about to doze off, they finally arrived at a Hot Pot City.
This Hot Pot City was quite far; Lin Feng vaguely remembered that it took half an hour for He Ting to get there from the bank. Most businesses would prefer to open in the city center, but this Hot Pot City was located in a remote area, far from any village or shop.
After He Ting parked the car and navigated through some turns, they finally arrived at the Hot Pot City that He Ting had mentioned would satisfy Lin Feng.
Despite its secluded location, the restaurant was bustling with activity, which made Lin Feng feel reassured.
With so many customers, it must be a good place. Lin Feng felt a sense of anticipation.
In fact, this is similar to buying groceries; people tend to flock to places that are popular because the public's judgment is sharp—those who have experienced it know what's good and what's not.
"How is it? I wasn't wrong, was I?" He Ting noticed the change in Lin Feng's expression. After all, he was a police officer and had a good eye for reading people.
Moreover, Lin Feng wouldn't hide his gaze while going out for a meal. Firstly, there was nothing to hide, and secondly, wearing a mask everywhere was just too tiring.
"This noodle dish looks good; as for how it tastes, we'll know after we eat," Lin Feng said, naturally not flattering He Ting.
This statement carried a hint of stubbornness.
"Hmph..." He Ting and Lin Feng were like sworn enemies from a past life. Not only was Lin Feng reluctant to easily praise He Ting, but He Ting also wouldn't let Lin Feng feel smug. At this moment, she certainly wouldn't show any pleasant expression.
However, none of this affected their appetite. Although they had only known each other for a few days, they had already adapted to this way of interacting.
"Hey, Captain He is here! How's it going? Same as usual today?" A middle-aged man who looked like a boss approached to greet He Ting and Lin Feng, directing his question at He Ting.
Clearly, the boss was quite familiar with He Ting; she must come here often.
"Yes, same as usual. Is my usual private room available?" He Ting replied as she walked.
"Yes, it's free. By the way, this young man looks unfamiliar; is it his first time here? What would you like to order?" Although the boss noticed that Lin Feng came with He Ting, he still needed to ask what Lin Feng wanted.
Just as Lin Feng was about to speak, He Ting interjected, "Just the same as I usually have; bring two servings."
This girl seems to have a rather small mind. What a waste of those assets in front. Lin Feng thought to himself as he glanced at the waves in front of He Ting.
But Lin Fen was also here for the first time and didn't know what to order, so she just went along with it and said, "Let's go with what Captain He suggested."
"Alright... He Team, you two can sit in the private room first. I'll go tell the waiter to bring you some tea, and once the hot pot broth is ready, I'll serve it to you." Seeing that Lin Feng had no objections, the boss smiled and invited the two into the private room.
"I have to ask, He Ting, are you really that petty?" Once inside the private room, Lin Feng casually took a seat and asked.
As he spoke, he looked around at the surroundings. The private room was by the stream and had a very elegant atmosphere; this girl had good taste.
"I'm telling you, we're here today to discuss compensation for the car. So be polite. How do you explain driving my car off a cliff?" He Ting was not in a good mood and naturally wasn't very friendly towards Lin Feng.
"Hehe... compensating for the car is a small matter, He Team. Don't get angry over something like this." When it came to the car incident, Lin Feng did feel somewhat guilty. Although he had acted to save someone, it was ultimately his own impulsiveness that caused the accident, so he could only greet her with a smile.
At that moment, the waiter came in with tea. After hearing Lin Feng's words, He Ting's expression finally softened. The two chatted for a while, and soon after, the hot pot broth and all the ingredients were brought in. It turned out that He Ting had ordered lamb slices.
Lin Feng could accept lamb slices; it was normal for girls to enjoy hot pot, especially in winter. He thought having a steaming hot pot was quite nice.
However, He Ting also ordered two bottles of Erguotou, which made Lin Feng feel a bit embarrassed. This fierce woman certainly had interests that were somewhat unusual.
