Chapter 83: Chapter 83 Shen Ping Shows Off

Shen Ping’s comment left Song Xiaodong with an embarrassed expression on his face, and Song Xiaoru hurriedly said, "Director Shen, my younger brother isn’t very good with words, don’t take it to heart, thank you for your kindness."

Shen Ping laughed it off and said, "It’s fine, I won’t lower myself to his level. Xiaoru, about our matter..."

Song Xiaoru hadn’t expected Shen Ping to bring up this matter right here and was quite embarrassed and unsure how to reply.

However, feeling Song Xiaodong squeeze her hand in encouragement, she finally mustered the courage to say, "Director Shen, thank you for valuing me so highly, but I have not yet considered my personal issues, and I wouldn’t want to hold you back, so you should stop focusing your attention on me."

Shen Ping responded with a smile, "Personal matters eventually need consideration, right? We could start by trying to date, and I believe that my sincerity will definitely move you, Xiaoru."

Song Xiaodong scoffed, "Yeah, you’re really sincere, even using Xian Ping’s job as leverage to blackmail my sister."

Shen Ping puffed out his chest and said, "No! Absolutely not, that’s not what happened. How could I do such a thing? It’s just that Xian Ping has some shortcomings in his work ability, and right now, it’s a bit troublesome. To secure a position for him requires some maneuvering, and I’m doing my utmost."

Song Xiaodong disliked Shen Ping beyond words. The guy was a total shameless pest and extremely hypocritical.

"Xiaoru, come do the banking with me. I’m free this morning anyway. Let’s get your business done early, and then I can take you shopping, buy you some new clothes. Look at you, so beautiful, but these clothes seem a bit plain. We should at least get you some top brands."

"Right, you might as well not withdraw any money. Whatever you need, I’ll give it to you."

Song Xiaoru said, "We are here to deposit money."

"Depositing money... Well, what I wanted to say is, it’s good for a woman to manage some savings, but we still need to spend when necessary. You earn so little each month and still want to put some away; life must be much tougher for you. Don’t bother saving that little bit of money; improve your living standards instead. In the future, my money is your money; you can spend it freely."

Song Xiaodong was really getting annoyed and said, "Sis, let’s go. We’ll take him with us to deposit the money."

Shen Ping hadn’t expected Song Xiaodong to agree and thought his show of wealth had moved Song Xiaodong’s heart. He laughed heartily, leading them into the VIP room, and said, "Xiaodong, I’m telling you, if I treat your sister well, I won’t slight you either, I’ll find you a good job, get you a civil servant position—something prestigious with power and perks."

Song Xiaodong rolled his eyes, "You really are capable, aren’t you?"

"To others, of course, I can’t say this, but you are going to be my brother-in-law, right? We’ll be family. How could I not help you out? Your sister wouldn’t like that either, haha..."

Song Xiaodong felt a sudden urge to slap Shen Ping a few times. This guy was truly too good at pretending.

Song Xiaoru frowned, not understanding why Song Xiaodong agreed to follow this Shen Ping to conduct business. But as Song Xiaodong surreptitiously traced her palm, she knew he must have an ulterior motive. She just hoped Song Xiaodong wouldn’t go too far.

"You two just won’t listen to me, why bother depositing the money at all? Money is made to be spent. Seeing you both live so frugally bothers me. Xiaoru, let me tell you, it’s important to manage a household wisely, but you should also raise your living standards," Shen Ping advised.

Song Xiaodong cracked a smile and said, "Can’t help it, it’s the little money we scrimped and saved that got us here."

"No need for that in the future. I’ll find you a job that’ll easily make you over three thousand a month, not to mention bonuses and other extras. You could be making six to seven thousand a month with no trouble at all."

"Six to seven thousand, that’s a lot. By the way, Director Shen, what business are you here for?"

"Nothing much, just withdrawing some money to spend. Seeing your sister, I decided to withdraw a bit more and take her shopping and such."

"Oh, so how much do you plan to withdraw?" Xiaodong asked with a smile.

"I’ll take out eighteen thousand in cash; the rest can be handled with the card. Just swipe it when needed."

"Oh, Director Shen really is wealthy."

"Just average. I used to not have much to strive for, just having some money was enough. Now that I have a life goal, I need to earn more to ensure your sister has a good life, right?"

Xiaodong nodded, saying, "Then you should help yourself to a bit more."

Shen Ping’s face darkened, and he laughed awkwardly. "Xiaodong, we shouldn’t talk about such things openly. When people come to me for favors, you’ll be the one dealing with them. You’ll definitely get your share."

"You really do think of me." Xiaodong’s smile grew even brighter.

Proudly beaming, Shen Ping said, "Ha, of course, who are we kidding? Come on, let’s get the business done early if you need to."

When the three of them reached the counter, Shen Ping said, "We’re depositing some money, oh, it’s my friend, just for fun, haha..." Being in the VIP area, depositing just two thousand yuan would seem quite embarrassing, so he quickly added that.

Xiaodong immediately caught on and blurted out, "Ay, look at that, we never thought of this. If our deposit is too low, that’s going to embarrass Director Shen."

As soon as Xiaoru heard this, she understood what Xiaodong was up to. Imagining Shen Ping’s jaw dropping when he saw the check she would present, she felt quite pleased with herself. After all, this guy had always looked down on them, flaunting his money and power in front of her.

Shen Ping laughed it off, "I’m not looking down on you, but the fact is, most of the transactions here are large. It’s rare to see small ones, but since I’m a VIP, even if the amount’s smaller, they’ll still take care of it properly."

Xiaodong smacked his lips, "Then we ourselves feel a bit ashamed. Maybe we should just go outside and wait in line."

"No, no, as a VIP, I can get the business done for anyone I bring. Come on, proceed with your transaction," Shen Ping hurriedly stopped them.

"Oh," Xiaodong replied. "Sis, considering Director Shen is so kind, we should just make use of his privilege and get it done. As long as our small amount doesn’t embarrass him, that’s fine."

Xiaoru barely held back her laughter. Her little brother really knew how to stir things up. She then took out the check from her bag,

"Huh? A check?" Upon seeing the check, Shen Ping’s face suddenly showed a look of surprise.
