Moreover, judging from the transaction details, the funds seed to have co from an overseas private equity firm.
In other words, Xu Yun was very likely the scion of an overseas private equity fund.
’If I can win the trust of a private equity scion, my career will take off imdiately.’
For a bank’s financial manager like her, there were only two career paths: beco a branch manager or beco the manager of a family’s wealth.
Cai Shiwei was very capable, but in the financial world, there were many people more capable than her.
Besides, in the banking industry, it wasn’t just about how capable you were or how much business you brought in; that alone couldn’t guarantee you’d climb the ladder.
To make it in this world, you also needed connections.
Coming from an ordinary family, it would be incredibly difficult for her to just wait out the years and gain enough seniority to beco a branch manager—unless she t a powerful benefactor.
The reality for people like them was that most would tread water their entire careers, while a select few would be headhunted to beco family asset managers, responsible for handling a family’s investnt funds.
Now that such a golden opportunity had appeared right before her, how could she not be excited?
For Xu Yun, the five million was just for fun, a way to test his own business abilities.
But for Cai Shiwei, it was more like a test Xu Yun had set for her.
The test question was five million!
If she could ultimately deliver a satisfactory result, their relationship and trust would deepen, and perhaps she could truly beco his asset manager in the future.
If she failed, their relationship would likely forever remain that of a bank’s financial manager and President Xu.
In reality, however, Xu Yun hadn’t thought that far ahead.
He took out the five million truly just to let Cai Shiwei test the waters.
If it made a profit, great.
If it lost money, it didn’t matter, just as he’d said. It would also shut Cai Shiwei up and prevent her from bothering him by pitching financial products in the future.
As for entrusting her with more funds in the future, that was just an empty promise he’d made, a carrot dangled to make sure she put so effort into spending the money.
Even though he acted like his money wasn’t real money, it was still best to make a profit. Who wants to lose, after all?
So, after finishing the paperwork for the house, the two of them proceeded to handle the financial product arrangents.
As Xu Yun’s authorized agent, Cai Shiwei was granted the right to buy and sell bank financial products within the five million yuan account limit.
Yu Xuan stood to the side the entire ti, not saying a word.
Being around Xu Yun, she felt like money wasn’t money anymore, just a number.
It started in Shanghai. Hundreds of thousands in tips for strears, given just like that. A watch worth several million, bought without a second thought.
The night before last, at dinner, he committed to a five-million-yuan investnt as if it were nothing.
And now, the sa thing.
He handed over five million to soone else as casually as if he were giving them five yuan.
In less than a week, she had watched Xu Yun spend nearly 15 million!
Yu Xuan didn’t know, nor did she have any idea, what Xu Yun’s net worth was.
But as a hotel butler, she had served many wealthy people.
So were even worth over a hundred million!
They were all very rich, but none of them spent money as freely as Xu Yun, as if it ant nothing to him.
Before, she had been a little worried about her future.
’Now I see that I made the right choice.’
’It seems I’ve really latched onto a powerful backer.’
After they finished their business at the bank, on the way back, Yu Xuan was driving again with Xu Yun in the passenger seat.
A short while later, he received a ssage from Jiang Peiyao.
[Xu Yun, my house has been auctioned off by the court.]
Sitting in the passenger seat, Xu Yun read the ssage but didn’t tell her that he was the one who had bought the house.
He replied comfortingly: [It’s okay. Out with the old, in with the new. Just focus on taking care of your brother’s illness. I’m here for you.]
[Jiang Peiyao: Okay, I understand.]
A mont later, Jiang Peiyao sent another ssage.
[Xu Yun, I miss you a little.]
Xu Yun read her new ssage, but this ti, he didn’t reply.
If it weren’t for the car enthusiast et-up tomorrow, he might have acted on impulse, flown right over, and cured her of her longing.
But that was impossible right now.
Thinking about the et-up tomorrow, Xu Yun glanced at the clothes Yu Xuan was wearing and frowned.
He said, "Let’s go to Jiangshang Mall and buy so things."
"Okay."
Following Xu Yun’s directions, the two arrived at Jiangshang Mall.
He hadn’t been here to shop in a long ti, not since Ning Qian had quit her job at the store.
For one thing, his excitent for luxury goods had faded; he no longer felt attached to them or cared much about them.
For another, he knew—thanks to Ning Qian—that the clothes displayed for sale in the store were just the leftovers that other custors hadn’t wanted.
The top-tier, exclusive items from these luxury brands were never even put out on the sales floor. As soon as a shipnt arrived, they were offered to the store’s established clientele—the truly wealthy people who spent millions at the store every year.
They had separate VIP rooms.
So when the new season’s items ca in, they were hung up directly in there, waiting for the rich patrons to co in and make their selections.
Alternatively, the store would deliver the items directly to their hos for them to choose from.
And they didn’t select clothes off a rack; they had dedicated models who would wear the outfits and stand before them so they could see how the clothes looked when worn.
When Xu Yun heard this from Ning Qian back then, he realized what a clown he’d been.
’I thought spending hundreds of thousands in one go was so impressive, but it turns out I wasn’t even worthy of walking through their VIP door!’
’Those saleswon were really great actresses, making feel like a genuine VIP!’
At the ti, Ning Qian had explained the situation to him.
She said that the spending power he’d demonstrated when buying clothes was indeed higher than that of an average custor. If he had just continued to shop there a few more tis, he too could have beco one of the store’s high-end clients with access to the VIP rooms.
