Chapter 308 303: I Know You, A Very Good Young Man

When she heard Wu Yun had a girlfriend, and one who was a peer in the industry no less, Dilireba felt a flicker of disappointment.

But as a master of acting, Dilireba didn't let Wu Yun see what she was really thinking.

Dilireba smiled and said, "Oh!? What a coincidence! Which underclassman is it? I might even know her!"

Although Dilireba was usually busy, she still paid attention to school news from time to time, especially on the online forums. She was the type to just lurk and read.

"Qi Fei!" The corners of Wu Yun's mouth curved into a smile at the thought of her, a sight that filled Dilireba with envy.

"Oh, it's her! I've heard about her being the new campus belle. I saw some gossip about her on the forums before, saying she had a rich boyfriend! But I haven't been able to find those posts recently! At the time, I was wondering who had such incredible pull that they could get the forum moderators to delete posts!" Dilireba had graduated from the Modu Drama Academy in 2013.

Dilireba exclaimed, "I never would've guessed it was you, President Wu!"

Through some subtle questioning from Dilireba, Wu Yun revealed a few of the arrangements he had made for Qi Fei. This made Dilireba incredibly envious. She had been struggling in the industry since 2010 and was still considered just a rookie actress.

This strengthened Dilireba's resolve to maintain her connection with Wu Yun.

The rest of the time passed in pleasant conversation between the two of them.

At the station exit, Dilireba, who had put on a hat, said her goodbyes to Wu Yun. "President Wu! If you're free after my video shoot tomorrow, I'd like to treat you to dinner!"

Wu Yun smiled and nodded. "No problem! As long as I'm free!"

He then raised his phone and said, "We'll be in touch on WeChat! Goodbye!"

Dilireba wasn't surprised by the entourage that accompanied a boss like Wu Yun. She knew some people in the industry traveled with even more pomp and circumstance.

"Let's go! Stop staring! Your eyes are going to follow him right out of here!" Sister Wu teased from the side.

Dilireba felt her face flush. She sighed, "Let's go."

"You got his contact info! And I saw how happily you two were chatting! What are you sighing for!?"

"Sister Wu! It's a long story! Let's talk as we walk!"

...

「The next day.」

After an early breakfast, Wu Yun took the hotel's private car to the WeBank headquarters.

As they neared the street where the WeBank headquarters was located, they were stopped.

"Hello, sir! There's an event up ahead! Please take a detour!" The hotel driver, having been stopped, turned to look at Wu Yun.

Wang Hao took an access pass from his bag and handed it to the police officer. The officer inspected it before letting them through.

As they got closer to WeBank, the group was stopped again.

"Alright! Let's get out here!"

The three of them put on the ID badges they had prepared that morning, each with their own headshot on it.

A large crowd was already gathered at the main entrance. As far as the eye could see, it was a sea of black suits.

"Good morning, President Wu!" Gu Min had just finished greeting other attendees when they turned and spotted Wu Yun, walking over with a cheerful smile.

Then, WeBank's President Cao Tong and a group of other senior executives also came forward to greet him.

Wu Yun's arrival seemed to be the signal. A few moments later, several other shareholders, including Xiaomage, arrived right on time.

Everyone stood in the lobby, chatting while they waited.

...

A Toyota Coaster, escorted by numerous cars and motorcycles, pulled up to the main entrance of WeBank.

The group, including Xiaomage and Wu Yun, had received a notification and were already waiting at the entrance.

The Coaster came to a steady stop. Several men dressed as bodyguards quickly stepped forward, and only then did the vehicle's door open.

"CLICK, CLICK, CLICK." The reporters' cameras flashed and snapped away.

A famous figure, often seen on television, slowly stepped out of the vehicle and waved with a smile to the welcoming crowd.

Several other similarly dressed middle-aged men followed him out of the vehicle.

Xiaomage strode forward, his face wreathed in smiles, and quickly extended his hand. "Leader, welcome to WeBank! Allow me to introduce our people!"

Since this was WeBank's home turf, Xiaomage started by introducing the bank's shareholders.

"This is Wu Yun, one of WeBank's major shareholders! He's been quite famous online recently!"

Hearing Xiaomage's introduction, Wu Yun enthusiastically reached out and shook the Leader's somewhat calloused hand. "Leader, it's an honor!"

The Leader, beaming, shook Wu Yun's hand and then patted his shoulder. "I know who you are. A fine young man! Very charitable! Please, keep it up! We will not neglect those who contribute to society!"

After offering a few words of encouragement to Wu Yun, Xiaomage continued introducing the other WeBank shareholders and management personnel.

"Leader! This way, please!"

Wu Yun followed behind, studying the back of the figure ahead of him. This was his first time meeting people of this stature.

His initial excitement gradually subsided upon seeing the man in person. 'The Leader seems quite affable,' he thought.

The group followed a planned route, with Cao Tong acting as the main guide, explaining WeBank's various hardware and software facilities along the way.

After completing the tour, they moved on to the main event of the day: the launch of the Weixiao Loan feature.

Led by the Leader, they stood before a row of display screens.

Cao Tong first used a phone to demonstrate the product's application process to the officials. The simple and convenient approval process earned nods from everyone present.

The Leader smiled, especially when he saw the facial recognition screen. "Not bad! This feature is very convenient!"

At that moment, the backend team had already contacted Xu Jun, a truck driver who had previously submitted his loan application.

Xu Jun followed the procedure, submitted his information, and entered the final facial recognition stage.

Receiving the cue, Cao Tong smiled and said, "Leader, the approval process for the very first loan is about to begin! We invite you to fire the starting gun for our bank!"

The Leader watched as the man on the screen in front of them centered his face within the provided frame, nodding his head up and down and opening his mouth as prompted.

After the facial recognition was successful, Xu Jun's phone displayed a message indicating his application was "Under Review."

The data was transmitted directly to the terminals at WeBank headquarters and appeared on the main screen.

Cao Tong pointed to the keyboard in front of them. "Leader! All you need to do now is press the Enter key, and Xu Jun will receive the loan issued by our bank!"

The Leader did as requested, taking two steps forward to the keyboard. He lightly tapped the Enter key, and instantly, a message appeared on the screen: "Approval Successful, Funds Disbursed."

Seeing this, the surrounding onlookers broke into applause with smiles on their faces.

WeBank's loan project had officially begun. In an instant, the screens began to rapidly display the number of successful loans and the total amount disbursed.

The two figures climbed steadily, with the number of successful applications quickly breaking into the double digits.

The Leader had a busy schedule. After pressing the Enter key at WeBank, he bid farewell to the crowd and left the headquarters with his entourage.

Only after the Toyota Coaster had departed was the security cordon on the street lifted.
