Chapter 92: The Beautiful Manager's Trouble

The following day.
Maple Leaf City, Bifeng Bank.
Jiang Hao settled onto a luxurious sofa on the second floor. Gao Xiaoqin, the beautiful manager of Bifeng Bank, immediately approached with a cup of tea, smiling warmly.
Today, Gao Xiaoqin wore a black suit jacket paired with a sleek, narrow black pencil skirt. The ensemble made her appear spirited and competent, accentuating the length and slenderness of her figure.
Jiang Hao glanced at her twice before offering a polite smile, “Manager Gao, it seems you’ve become even more beautiful since the last time we met.”
“Really?” Gao Xiaoqin was momentarily taken aback, then her face blossomed into a smile. “I didn’t expect the renowned son-in-law of the Su family to be so adept at charming women!”
The mention of “son-in-law of the Su family” made Jiang Hao’s expression subtly change.
He straightened his face and said, “I won’t be the Su family’s son-in-law for much longer.”
Gao Xiaoqin realized she had misspoken, but instead of apologizing, she continued, “I’d heard rumors before—that you made a scene at the Su family banquet, left them utterly humiliated, and even declared your intention to divorce Su Qingli, their precious daughter. I didn’t believe it at first, but it turns out to be true! Mr. Jiang, it seems the Su family’s little pond can no longer contain a dragon like you.”
“Your flattery skills are quite impressive, Manager Gao,” Jiang Hao responded coolly.
Gao Xiaoqin only smiled, saying nothing more.
Jiang Hao cut the conversation short, producing his exclusive Bifeng Bank black gold card and the anonymous bank card given by the Qian family. Calmly, he said, “Manager Gao, I’m here on business today. Please transfer all the funds from this anonymous card to my black gold card at Bifeng Bank.”
“Certainly, it would be my pleasure to assist you.”
With a courteous remark, Gao Xiaoqin took the two cards and rose to handle the transaction at the nearby counter.
Not long after, she suddenly gasped in surprise.
“Is there a problem?” Jiang Hao looked at her in confusion.
Gao Xiaoqin placed a hand over her chest, then spoke with admiration, “No problem, just a shock… Mr. Jiang, I didn’t expect the funds in your anonymous card to be so substantial—one hundred and twenty million Huabi!”
At the sound of that figure, several female bank employees on the second floor glanced toward Jiang Hao in astonishment.
Their gazes were intense, as if they were beholding a prince from their dreams.
Such attention made Jiang Hao uncomfortable.

But he paid it no mind, replying calmly, “Manager Gao, as the general manager of Bifeng Bank’s Maple Leaf City branch, surely a sum like one hundred million shouldn’t surprise you?”
“Mr. Jiang, you overestimate me. I’m just a modest manager—I haven’t seen much of the world.”
Gao Xiaoqin continued with her flattery as she processed the transaction.
Jiang Hao understood her intentions and didn’t take her words seriously.
A short while later, the transfer was complete. Jiang Hao casually tossed the Qian family’s anonymous card into the trash.
“Mr. Jiang, your card now holds a total of one hundred and forty million Huabi. You’ve surpassed ninety-nine percent of our clients, making you one of Maple Leaf City’s exclusive one percent of wealthy elites.”
“That’s enough—one or two compliments are sufficient. Aren’t you tired of flattering me so incessantly?”
Jiang Hao spoke with cool indifference.
Gao Xiaoqin showed no embarrassment, instead denying it with a cheerful smile, “I’m not flattering you; I’m merely stating the facts.”
Jiang Hao tucked away his black gold card and prepared to leave.
He had come to transfer funds, and now that the money was safely in his account, there was no reason to linger.
But Gao Xiaoqin suddenly called out, “Mr. Jiang, are you free at noon?”
“Is there something you need?” Jiang Hao countered, not answering her question directly.
Gao Xiaoqin hesitated before forcing a somewhat awkward smile, “I’d like to treat you to a meal… I have a matter I’d like your help with.”
“You want my help?” Jiang Hao frowned slightly.
He was not familiar with Gao Xiaoqin. Why would she seek his assistance instead of someone else?
Jiang Hao was not naive enough to believe that the general manager of Bifeng Bank’s Maple Leaf City branch was interested in him.
He wasn’t so self-absorbed.
“Yes, I’m asking for your help. Perhaps only you can assist me… Shall we find somewhere to eat and discuss it over lunch?”
Gao Xiaoqin asked tentatively.
“Very well.”

After a moment’s consideration, Jiang Hao agreed.
The two left Bifeng Bank and found a small restaurant in the bustling city center.
Seated in a corner, Jiang Hao gazed out the window at the scenery and asked, “Manager Gao, can you now tell me what it is you need my help with?”
“Of course, though I warn you—it may surprise you.”
A faint blush rose to Gao Xiaoqin’s cheeks.
“Stop beating around the bush—just say it,” Jiang Hao said impatiently.
Though he had plenty of time, he didn’t wish to spend it all on this woman.
Gao Xiaoqin wasted no more time and began her account.
“It happened a week ago. That night, I slept fitfully, waking several times, plagued by chaotic dreams that left me feeling terrified…”
“As dawn approached, I woke again, but this time, I found myself unable to move!”
“I was so frightened I cried… I wanted to call for help, but couldn’t make a sound. Even if I could, it wouldn’t matter—I live alone…”
“Is this what they call sleep paralysis? Was I really possessed by a ghost?”
“Mr. Jiang, I’ve heard you heal illnesses and drive away evil spirits. You cured the Zhao family patriarch, and cleansed the ghost from their villa—so…”
Here, Gao Xiaoqin paused and looked hopefully at Jiang Hao.
Jiang Hao couldn’t help but chuckle, “First, let me clarify—there are no such things as ghosts.”
“I believe that too, but sleep paralysis really happened to me,” Gao Xiaoqin said anxiously.
“Sleep paralysis isn’t a ghost pressing down on you. It’s a normal phenomenon, related to your sleeping posture, habits, mental state, and work stress. Perhaps you’ve been under too much pressure lately, emotionally unstable, and your sleep quality has suffered. These combined factors can lead to symptoms of sleep paralysis.”
Jiang Hao explained carefully.
