Nelly Xu left the meeting room in a daze, preparing to go to the bank for a loan. She also called Mamie Li to have her bring the bank card. The last time the Shen family gave her a five-million yuan deposit, there was still about one million yuan left in Mamie Li's bank account. She needed to withdraw it for emergencies.
On the other side, after receiving Nelly Xu's call, Mamie Li became flustered and grabbed a handful of bank cards from the drawer, heading to the bank.
Pryor Ye asked in a hurry, "Mom, did I give you the bank card I got last time?" Last time, when he brought back the five million yuan deposit from the Shen family, Mamie Li wanted to deposit the money herself. To make it convenient for her and avoid waiting in line, Pryor Ye had given her his Purple Bauhinia Emperor card.
Mamie Li replied, "Why would I need it? You can't use it for a loan."
Pryor Ye said, "It's better to bring it, it might come in handy."
Mamie Li rolled her eyes at Pryor Ye. She believed it was strange. He couldn't even come up with money to buy groceries, so how much money could there be in his bank account?
They soon arrived at the bank. What surprised Pryor Ye was that Olga Xu, his cousin, was also at the bank. At the moment, Nelly Xu was desperately pleading with Olga Xu, but Olga Xu had a cold expression and remained indifferent.
Mamie Li sighed, "Oh no. Olga Xu is the branch manager in this bank. She has a grudge against Nelly Xu, especially after the humiliation at the family banquet last time. She hates Nelly Xu even more. I doubt she'll approve the loan for her."
Pryor Ye tried to comfort her, saying, "Mom, don't worry. We don't need a loan at all. The bank card I gave you is enough to help Nelly Xu through this."
Mamie Li gave Pryor Ye a stern look. She found it hard to believe him. He couldn't even come up with 300,000 yuan for the dowry, so how much money could be in his bank account? Furthermore, he couldn't even pay for groceries.
Olga Xu saw Mamie Li and Pryor Ye coming and became even more arrogant. She said, "Auntie, for such a small matter, is it really necessary for you to come in person? Your son is so impressive, even the director of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau is afraid of him. Just let him handle this minor financial issue for you."
Olga Xu had already investigated and knew that the director of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau had favored Pryor Ye because he had cured the director's illness. Pryor Ye was just a poor guy with no money or power. There was no need to be afraid of him.
Mamie Li blushed and rushed to please Olga Xu, saying, "Oh, Olga, you think too highly of him. His connections and influence can't compare to yours. Besides, he's not my son-in-law yet. Even if he were, could he be as close to our family as you are? In times of trouble, it's our family that can be relied on."
Olga Xu looked triumphant as she glanced at Pryor Ye and said, "Alright, since Auntie, you put it that way, I won't be so heartless. Cousin, I can lend you five million yuan, but I'll need a 30% commission from you personally."
Nelly Xu had a headache. A 30% commission meant that she would have to pay 1.5 million yuan in interest on a five million yuan loan. It was even worse than borrowing from a loan shark.
Nelly Xu begged, "Olga, 30% is too high, I can't afford it. Please give me some face and lower the commission. I'll remember this favor forever..."
Olga Xu coldly responded, "Face? Are you even worthy of mentioning face to me? If it weren't for you, my ex-boyfriend wouldn't have lost his position as a department head. Thirty percent commission, not a penny less, or forget it."
Nelly Xu's face turned pale, and she was in great distress. In the end, she reluctantly agreed, "Alright... I agree..."
But before she could finish speaking, Pryor Ye suddenly shouted angrily, "It's the bank's duty to process loans for customers! Demanding a 30% commission is simply tarnishing the reputation of the financial industry! Get your general manager here; if he can't explain this clearly, I'll strip his skin!"
