Chapter 130 The New Goddess: Mandala
Jiang Fan and Lin Xue walked towards Longdong Bank. "What's your aunt's position?"
"It looks like a senior account manager at the bank? Just then, the bank doors slowly opened."
A woman who appeared to be in her early thirties was seen seeing off a portly middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses. "Director Tang, please reconsider!" the man said eagerly, even with a hint of flattery.
"The return on that project is absolutely guaranteed; it just needs to be done quickly. As long as you agree to be accommodating, the subsequent thanks will definitely satisfy you!"
The man seemed to want to get close to the woman's arm.
Tang Manru took a half step back imperceptibly, and the smile on her face instantly faded.
Her voice was exceptionally cold and devoid of personal emotion: "Mr. Wang, banks have their own rules. All business must follow standard procedures. If something does not comply with the regulations... I have no authority to process it. Please understand."
Tang Manru's tone left no room for negotiation; her cold, domineering aura froze the smile on President Wang's face. "~Hehe, Director Tang is really... principled, huh."
He gracefully withdrew his hand, looking somewhat embarrassed, and muttered "I'll contact you again" before leaving.
Tang Manru seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, a hint of fatigue flashing across her brows. "Auntie!" Lin Xue greeted her with a smile.
Tang Manru's gaze swept over Lin Xue and Jiang Fan at the bottom of the steps. Jiang Fan looked up and took a closer look.
Tang Manru looked to be in her early thirties, with her jet-black hair pulled back, highlighting her mature temperament and shrewdness.
Her features were strikingly beautiful, with long, slender willow-leaf eyebrows, a high nose bridge, full lips, and fair, jade-like skin—completely different from what Jiang Fan had imagined.
The dark gray suit skirt could hardly contain her graceful and exquisite figure, and her two full and firm breasts pushed up her white shirt, as if the buttons could pop open at any moment.
She looks older than Su Rou but slightly younger than Teacher Shen.
The short skirt clearly outlined Tang Manru's round and plump buttocks, the ripples of her soft hips captivating. Her slender and shapely long legs were encased in black stockings with very low sheerness.
She was like an elegant and aloof queen, breathtakingly beautiful, yet so stunning that people dared not approach her. So beautiful!
Tang Manru sensed Jiang Fan's intrusive gaze, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she intended to glare at him fiercely as a warning.
Unexpectedly, the young man was tall and handsome with distinct features. He exuded a faint confidence and sense of control between his brows, and his calm and composed temperament struck a chord with Tang Manru.
what happened?
How can he be so handsome?
Tang Manru's heart skipped a beat, and her cheeks and delicate body seemed to be burning slightly. A strange excitement and passion stirred in her heart.
This is the destructive power of 14 charm points combined with Jiang Fan's already outstanding model! Tang Manru lightly bit her tongue, her eyes regaining their clarity.
She instinctively avoided Jiang Fan's gaze and looked at Lin Xue. "Xiao Xue? Didn't you tell me you were coming here?"
Lin Xue made a pleading gesture with both hands: "Auntie~ I just wanted to give you a surprise."
Tang Manru crossed her arms haughtily and raised her chin slightly: "Every time you come to me, it's never good news... more like a shock. So, how much do you want this time?"
Hearing the two women's conversation, Jiang Fan was puzzled. Weren't their families on bad terms?
But on the surface, things seem pretty good, don't they? Sometimes I really don't understand women.
Lin Xue scratched her head sheepishly, "Auntie, I'm not here to borrow money... I'm here to introduce you to some business!" She proudly took Jiang Fan's left arm, gently pressing her ample breasts between them.
Her tone was rather provocative: "Auntie! This is my new boyfriend, Jiang Fan! He wants to apply for some financial products... and needs your help." Jiang Fan froze, not expecting Lin Xue to be so bold.
Tang Manru has been in the workplace for over ten years and has met all sorts of people.
She could tell at a glance that Jiang Fan and Lin Xue's relationship wasn't as loving as it seemed. This little girl was practically a carbon copy of her mother.
She always speaks in a sarcastic and sarcastic tone... Humph!
Isn't all this roundabout talk just a way of proving that she's charming and has found a rich and handsome boyfriend?
A hint of displeasure flashed across Tang Manru's brow. "Oh? You've changed your target again?"
Lin Xue's smug expression gradually froze. She hadn't expected her aunt to be so perceptive!
While she did indeed have an element of showing off her charm... Tang Manru had once helped him pay off his credit card. What happened next left Jiang Fan speechless.
The usually aloof and arrogant school beauty actually lowered her head and said in a fawning tone, "Auntie~ that's not what I meant!" "All the things I own and the car were bought for me by him... Jiang Fan wants to invest in some high-end financial products... I'm just trying to help Auntie boost her sales performance!" Tang Manru knew Lin Xue's personality very well.
She likes to show off and is vain, and she likes money, but she doesn't have any bad intentions, and she's even a bit stupid... She really didn't need to bring a man to humiliate her.
Tang Manru could vaguely sense that the reason she had just lost control was most likely because of Jiang Fan! Because he did indeed seem to be an outstanding man.
So outstanding that it stirred a flicker of jealousy within her, a stark contrast to her usual composure and calm. Hmph!
They are definitely not in a romantic relationship.
Tang Manru looked directly at Jiang Fan, her pupils slightly contracting.
For a fleeting moment, she suddenly found the meaning of her many years of being single.
Jiang Fan smiled faintly: "Director Tang, I have a small amount of money that's temporarily idle. I'm not very good at managing money... I wonder if there's a better option than a current account?"
Tang Manru's ears twitched slightly, and her tone softened considerably: "Does Mr. Jiang have any requirements regarding liquidity? How long of a lock-up period would you be willing to accept?" "Hmm~ It's best not to be too long? Perhaps there will be an emergency."
"What is Mr. Jiang's budget?" "90."
Tang Manru's beautiful eyes widened immediately.
Is this young man in his early twenties really capable of making 90?
Her gaze had already been secretly taking in Jiang Fan's entire outfit; it was indeed quite expensive.
Lin Xue's jewelry and handbags add up to several hundred thousand yuan.
How could a student like her, who constantly maxes out her credit cards and needs my help to pay off her debts, possibly have spare money to buy such luxury items? Could it be... that Jiang Fan is a rich second-generation?
But Tang Manru had met almost all the wealthy businessmen in Dongcheng. She'd never heard of a big boss surnamed Jiang.
Could Lin Xue be trying to scam me out of my money by hiring some random guy?
Tang Manru became wary of Jiang Fan because she was too familiar with Lin Xue.
"Mr. Jiang, please, let's go inside and discuss this further." "Please!"
Two shapely, plump buttocks swayed beneath her skirt.
Jiang Fan quietly opened his phone and began searching for keywords in the "Goddess Filter." A new script with a very high degree of overlap popped up: "The Traitor Who Betrayed the Company."
Script Synopsis: [You've caught your prey red-handed in the office. How would you punish the traitor who betrayed the company?] Jiang Fan chooses automatic matching.
[Ding~~ The platform has matched you with a goddess who matches your script -] The goddess specially matched by the app is codenamed [Mandala].
The cover features a mature, professional woman with a figure similar to Tang Manru.
Aside from the different uniform on the cover, the same thick black stockings, long legs, and the same mature, voluptuous buttocks. It must be Tang Manru!
Jiang Fan's lips curled into a smug smile.
Looks like Lin Xue isn't a completely useless puppy after all~ Your period is very moist!
Chapter 131 Tang Manru's First Script Performance (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
VIP rooms at the bank in the city.
The air conditioning was slightly cool, and there was a faint aroma of tea in the office.
Tang Manru slid her finger across the tablet, her eyes focused, her tone businesslike and indifferent: "90 yuan, short-term, liquidity required..." She glanced at Jiang Fan, then quickly left.
"There are limited high-liquidity products that meet the criteria, and this 'Jucaibao·Zhouzhouying' is currently the best choice. It starts accruing interest on a T+1 basis, allows redemption once a week, and has an annualized return of 3.8%. Although it is not high, its advantage lies in its flexibility."
Tang Manru proactively handed the tablet to Jiang Fan, giving off a subtle sense of distance. Just a mere disciple.
Why are his eyes so captivating?
Tang Manru felt her body tremble involuntarily a few times, and her head felt lightheaded. What was going on?
Tang Manru quickly turned her gaze away.
Lin Xue, of course, wanted to impress Jiang Fan, so she leaned closer and said in a coquettish tone, "Auntie~ Isn't this return a bit too low? Jiang Fan's family got rich from land expropriation, their funds will increase... I remember you said there was a..."
"Lin Xue!" Tang Manru interrupted immediately, her voice slightly cold. "Every product offered by the bank has its risks and returns carefully calculated, and there is a clear customer profile."
"This Zhouzhouying product perfectly meets Mr. Jiang's current needs!"
Her gaze shifted to Jiang Fan. "Mr. Jiang, if you are looking for higher returns, you can consider long-term investment products. But right now, flexibility and security are your primary needs, aren't they?"
So this guy is a nouveau riche. No wonder he gave Lin Xuehua so much money. Isn't he just a complete sucker?
Jiang Fan smiled faintly: "Director Tang is right, flexibility is the most important thing. Let's go with this Zhou Zhou Ying model. I trust you." He hadn't expected Tang Manru to be such a principled woman.
This is quite different from the "Mandala" in the script.
Could it be that, like Su Rou... she also has a hidden past?
Jiang Fan's nonchalant attitude reinforced the "nouveau riche" label that Lin Xue had given him.
Tang Manru dislikes the so-called nouveau riche because most of them are not very polite and their procedures are very formulaic.
Tang Manru handed over her business card with both hands, her fingers brushing against Jiang Fan's fingers against her will.
A lump in my throat. What am I doing?
Tang Manru quickly withdrew her hand, feigning calmness and composure: "I will follow up on the subsequent operations. If you have any questions, you can contact me. I am Tang Manru."
Jiang Fan calmly accepted her business card: "Thank you, Director Tang. It's been a pleasure working with you."
His smile was confident, composed, and hearty. "It's a pleasure working with you."
Jiang Fan and Lin Xue left Longdong Bank.
Lin Xue's chest heaved with anger, and she stomped her feet in a rather cute manner: "Auntie is so disrespectful! 3.8%? Are you trying to fob me off?" Lin Xue was extremely dissatisfied that she hadn't been able to demonstrate her value to Jiang Fan.
Jiang Fan gently stroked her head, as if a master were petting his pet, and said with a soft smile, "Xiaoxue, you did a great job. I keep my word, you can finish..."
I'll grant you one small wish.
If Lin Xue hadn't acted as a go-between, how would he have known there was such a still-attractive and sexy woman at Longdong Bank? This... was a huge win!
Maybe I'll have the chance to take them both flying sometime in the future.
Upon hearing about the reward, Lin Xue's eyes widened with joy. She stood up and hugged Jiang Fan, rubbing against him affectionately, saying, "Master~ My wish is very simple."
"Can I be your girlfriend?" "No."
"Why?" Lin Xue really wants to be promoted now.
Jiang Fan gently cupped her cheeks, his eyes filled with tenderness and a hint of barely perceptible control. "Xiaoxue, I'll have many girlfriends in the future... Do you think you can stand out among them?" Lin Xue stared blankly at Jiang Fan.
Because Jiang Fan was telling the truth, she even felt that her master was having a heart-to-heart talk with her!
"I know... some things can't be made up for... but I... can't live without you anymore!" The once proud and beautiful school belle now looked at Jiang Fan with tender affection, like an innocent young girl.
"Xiaoxue, you are my pet... I have several women now, but you are my only pet."
Lin Xue did not strongly resist or show any sign of humiliation upon hearing these words. What she heard was, "Xiao Xue, you are my only one."
Although it's abstract, this is Lin Xue's current thought process. It turns out my owner only has me as a pet!
I will perform even better in the future and look for an opportunity to become a full-time employee!
"Okay~ Let me think of other wishes..." Lin Xue smiled and took his arm: "Master~ Let's go eat! My best friend recommended a restaurant..."
"You go back first, I have something to take care of." "Wrong?"
"Behave yourself, or I'll spank you."
Lin Xue shyly covered her bottom. This woman was well-versed in the art of feigned indifference.
"Master~ If you're bored at night... remember to call me!"
"Hmm~ No more flirting with other men." Lin Xue chuckled to herself, thinking:
"Master still cares about me after all. This is a good start, Lin Xue!" She proactively showed her phone: "Master! Look..."
"Alright~ Let's go." *mua*
Lin Xue took the initiative to kiss Jiang Fan's cheek, then feigned shyness and ran away to the car.
