OFR – Chapter 145 The joy of the bank girl.

When the phrase “That’s all” appeared in front of Chen Shaoxing, he finally confirmed that the other party was not joking.

Moreover, the consultation fee alone was a diamond. While many people might afford such an extravagant joke, not many would be willing to pay the price just for fun.

After all, no matter how wealthy a person was, their money was still earned. Chen Shaoxing understood this deeply.

At this moment, he accepted “Leng’s” order.

After a few more polite exchanges, Leng paid ten diamonds as the task fee—the minimum transaction amount stipulated by Black Sky Net.

Ten diamonds equaled one million RMB.

For Chen Shaoxing, this wasn’t a huge sum.

However, spending so much just to find an ordinary personal assistant still made him feel a bit reluctant.

It was important to note that this one million wasn’t the assistant’s salary—it was just the fee for hiring someone to find a suitable candidate.

Yes, just as Leng had said—nothing more.

The one million’s purpose was also just that—nothing more.

The other party understood this, yet still paid without hesitation, indicating that they did not care about the cost at all.

As Chen Shaoxing looked at the transaction confirmation on his computer screen, he sat quietly for a moment. Then, he picked up his phone from his desk and, without regard for the late hour, directly dialed the company’s HR director.

Yes, no matter what, once he accepted an order, he had to do it properly—especially for a Black Sky Net task.

As soon as the call connected, Chen Shaoxing instructed the HR director to select the top five female candidates from the company’s reserve talent pool—those who had both outstanding looks and excellent work capabilities—for the upcoming interview.

“Hmm? Mr. Chen? The top five? What salary range is the client offering?”

The HR director’s voice carried a note of surprise. He had never seen the boss request five of the most elite female candidates all at once, especially from such a scarce talent pool.

“The salary is negotiable. Just start selecting now. Give priority to candidates in Nanjing, since the job location is in Nanjing. If there are other candidates willing to relocate, they can be considered as well. Arrange the interviews in three days.”

Chen Shaoxing didn’t bother explaining too much to the HR director. His decision to mobilize the top five candidates at once was simply to ensure the client’s satisfaction.

After all, the requirements were simple, but the simpler they were, the harder it was to determine what would truly satisfy the client.

It was just like when someone says, “Anything is fine” when asked what they want to eat—the vaguer the response, the harder it is to decide.

And since the client had paid a million for the task, he had to make sure the candidates he selected were not subpar.

“Alright, Mr. Chen!”

After receiving an affirmative response from the HR director, Chen Shaoxing added a few words about considering this overtime and giving a bonus before ending the call.

After hanging up, he glanced at the calendar on his office wall and saw that it was already past 10 PM.

Feeling a bit tired after securing the deal, he decided to call it a day instead of working until 11.

Stretching his body, he prepared to head home.

…

By now, it was already half past ten, a quiet and peaceful late-night hour.

Mu Bai had long since logged out of the Black Market.

Earlier, during his discussion with the store owner, he had finalized the interview details for his future personal assistant.

In three days, they would meet at the VIP Lounge on the second floor of the Nanjing City Guesthouse.

The store owner had arranged for five candidates to attend the personal assistant interview. If none were satisfactory, they would continue to provide more options.

This level of service was quite thorough.

However, aside from the exorbitant task fee, Mu Bai didn’t feel any real difference between the Black Sky Net stores and regular human resource agencies.

He had assumed that stores in the black market would avoid any association with non-black-market members. But it seemed he had overthought it—after all, no matter how exclusive the black market was, it still had to rely on reality.

“Forget it, I’ll just wait and see the interview candidates first,” Mu Bai muttered to himself, shaking his head and deciding not to dwell on the matter any further.

It was already past 10 PM, and he was feeling drowsy.

After picking up the remote to turn off the TV, he got up and went to his bedroom to sleep.

Drowsiness quickly overtook him, and before long, Mu Bai was fast asleep.

The night passed without incident.

…

The next morning, a little past 9 AM.

Mu Bai finished his breakfast and returned to his apartment.

However, just as he sat down on the sofa—barely a minute later—his phone rang.

It was the same young bank employee from last time.

Once again, she politely invited him to visit the bank to upgrade his card level. Clearly, getting a customer to upgrade to a diamond-tier bank card came with a considerable commission for her.

Listening to her earnest plea over the phone, Mu Bai thought about it for a moment and realized he had nothing important planned for the morning.

If he went to the bank now to handle the card upgrade, he would have time in the afternoon to visit Xu Jinhuan’s home to discuss the game investment.

With that in mind, Mu Bai gave a definite answer: “Alright, send me the bank’s address. I’ll head over now.”

…

At 9:30 AM.

In a high-end savings bank in the northern district of Nanjing, most of the employees had already started their workday.

Near the window-side counter sat a young woman, around twenty-two or twenty-three years old, with a sweet and adorable appearance.

She was dressed in a black business suit, which added an extra layer of allure to her already charming demeanor.

At that moment, she was on a phone call. When she heard the client’s affirmative response, a joyful expression spread across her slightly youthful face.

She happily said, “Thank you so much for your support of our bank and me! I’ll send you the address right away. My name is Shu Xiaoxiao—if you have trouble finding the bank, just call me, and I’ll come pick you up!”

Her name was Shu Xiaoxiao, a top graduate from Nanjing University’s finance department.

Thanks to her excellent academic performance and sweet looks, she was recruited by the Postal Savings Bank, where she was assigned to handle high-end clients in Nanjing.

A bank is a government-backed institution with stable and well-paying jobs, making her position the envy of many of her peers who struggled to find satisfying employment after graduation.

Shu Xiaoxiao cherished her job and worked hard to fulfill her responsibilities.

She specialized in serving high-net-worth clients, and Mu Bai’s bank balance had long since reached the threshold for a diamond-tier card upgrade.

Recently, Mu Bai’s account balance had even exceeded several hundred million yuan—an amount large enough to classify him as a VIP client whom any bank would go to great lengths to retain.

Even the bank manager regarded him as an important client.

So, when Shu Xiaoxiao heard his confirmation over the phone, she was overjoyed.
