Dong Muyun really wanted to ignore the deputy bank presidentâs questioning gaze.
But it had to be said, Su Pingâs words also made it a bit hard for her to maintain her composure.
"Su Ping, loans always require collateral. Of course, you might have seen those so-called unsecured ones, but in reality, theyâre secured by personal credit, and those loans can only support small amounts." Dong Muyun quickly understood his line of thinking.
After all, no matter how talented Su Ping was, he wasnât that old and perhaps didnât know much about certain societal matters.
In such cases, having been short on funds before, learning about the possibility of a loan naturally energized him.
"As for interest-free, itâs the same deal: either your collateral is sufficient, or the amount is small. Otherwise, unless the interest is very low, it can be kept very low."
Watching Dong Muyun patiently explain, the deputy bank president showed a smile that was both embarrassed and politely restrained.
Was this all Queen Dong had dragged him here for?
But he couldnât really say anything; after all, this was his job.
Besides, for Queen Dong to explain things this way, this gentleman must be no ordinary person, right?
So, he quickly said, "Chairman, let me speak with this gentleman. But letâs go inside to discuss it first."
They followed him into the office.
It was there that the deputy bank president said, "Sir, with the Chairman present, I can use my authority to approve an interest-free, unsecured loan of up to 2,000,000 for you. Does that sound acceptable?"
This showed that the deputy bank president indeed handled matters efficiently. He didnât say much, simply using his own authority to help. Although it was out of respect for Dong Muyun, Su Ping still nodded in satisfaction.
However, he shook his head. "Not enough! Hereâs the thing, my current status should allow me to apply for more interest-free, unsecured loans. Could you please check online? Hereâs my ID card."
The deputy bank president felt somewhat helpless.
Damn it, even as a deputy bank president using his own limit, he only had two million in interest-free, unsecured loans.
After all, Jianghai Bank was just a local bank in Jianghai Province. It wasnât one of the two major banks, was it?
Besides, what kind of status would allow someone to borrow a large interest-free, unsecured loan from the bank?
Even for Dong Muyun standing before him, it would be impossible.
Because such things always entailed risk.
Even with the resources of Tianyun Group, it would be very, very difficult to casually obtain loans of a large magnitude.
And now this young man was saying his status could secure more loans?
Having worked at Jianghai Bank for so many years, the deputy bank president hadnât encountered such a situation.
But still, out of respect for Dong Muyun, he didnât say anything more. He took the ID card, said softly, "Please wait a moment," and then turned on the computer that had been shut down.
It was Dong Muyun, however, who looked oddly at Su Ping. "You rascal, after all this time, your method of getting money is to take out a loan?"
No wonder she was speechless.
How much money could a loan possibly provide?
Unless this darn kid was going to reveal their familyâs secret cultivation techniques, in which case he could undoubtedly secure a sky-high loan. Otherwise, even for the Heart of Woods cultivation base, the most one could borrow would be a few tens of millions at best.
But how much could be lent on an interest-free, unsecured basis?
Just as this thought crossed her mind, and before Su Ping could reply, a crisp exclamation echoed through the empty office.
"What the heck?"
Dong Muyun looked toward the office desk, where the deputy bank president sat, looking as if heâd seen a ghost.
"Whatâs wrong?"
For the first time, the deputy bank president didnât respond to his benefactorâs question. Instead, he rubbed his eyes as if he had misread something, then stared fixedly at the computer screen again.
Only then did his expression, still like heâd seen a ghost, turn back toward Su Ping, who was sitting there.
Finally, still with that same look, as if heâd seen a ghost, he remained stunned, not coming back to his senses for a long time.
It had to be said, Su Ping was also somewhat nervous. Although the introduction to the honorary military rank and the effects of the medals had mentioned some figures, Su Ping was still unclear about the exact numbers.
Observing the deputy bank presidentâs expression, Dong Muyun raised her eyebrows slightly. "Whatâs the matter?"
The deputy bank president gave a wry smile, then quickly stood up. He respectfully handed Su Pingâs ID card back.
"I apologize, Major Su. I was impolite earlier. With your honorary military rank and your personal credit rating, youâre eligible for an interest-free, unsecured loan of 30,000,000 at our bank! Additionally, since youâve been awarded a First-Class Merit and a Third-Class Merit, as per our bankâs policy, an additional 31,000,000 in interest-free, unsecured loans will be granted on top of the initial 30,000,000! Thatâs a total of 61,000,000 in interest-free loans, offered in gratitude for your service and contribution to the Legion and to the Dragon Nation! Salute to you!"
And it was no empty platitude. After those final words were spoken, genuine goosebumps rose on Su Pingâs skin.
He had never felt anything like this before.
Moreover, this wasnât just verbal respect; it came with real, tangible benefits!
Just one bank could directly approve over sixty million in loans?
It was something Su Ping hadnât expected.
This was also a difference between the Controlling Beasts world and his previous life.
In that world, while the respect and preferential treatment for soldiers, especially for decorated heroes, were also plentiful,
