Chapter 27 Golden Sunflower Customers
Chapter 27 Golden Sunflower Customers
The next morning, Huang Tian was awakened by a series of urgent phone rings. Somewhat irritated, he reached for his phone from beside his pillow and squinted at the caller ID—China Merchants Bank.
"Is there something you need?"
Huang Tian cleared his throat and answered the phone.
"Hello Mr. Huang, I'm sorry to bother you. I'm Chen Shuya, a customer manager from China Merchants Bank. We've noticed that your account has seen a significant increase in activity recently, and we'd like to invite you to upgrade to our Golden Sunflower customer program. Do you have time to come to the branch today to complete the necessary procedures?"
A gentle and capable female voice came from the other end of the phone, her tone respectful and professional.
"Upgrade the Golden Sunflower?"
Huang Tian, still sleepy, mumbled a reply: "Okay, I'll be there in a bit."
"Okay, is 11 o'clock a convenient time for you? I can wait for you at the branch."
"Can."
"Then I won't bother you any longer. I'll send you the branch address via SMS later."
After hanging up the phone, Huang Tian tossed his phone back onto the bedside table and glanced at the time; it was already past nine.
Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, casting a bright band of light on the wooden floor.
Huang Tian rubbed his face and looked at Hu Yixin, who was still fast asleep beside him.
The crazy woman who was clinging to him yesterday is now curled up in his arms like a kitten, her eyes filled with a satisfied, lustful look.
Huang Tian gently removed her arms from around his waist, stepped barefoot onto the soft carpet, and walked into the bathroom.
The man in the mirror had slightly disheveled hair and a layer of bluish stubble on his chin, looking somewhat tired after indulging in pleasure.
Reaching thirty and having a beautiful wife at home is a real challenge.
Huang Tian took a cold shower and immediately felt refreshed.
"Hmm... Honey, you're awake?"
Hu Yixin's soft, sleepy voice drifted from the bedroom.
Huang Tian peeked out from the bathroom and saw that Hu Yixin had already sat up, rubbing her eyes.
Her silk robe slipped off her shoulders as she moved, revealing a large expanse of snow-white skin and delicate collarbones.
If they had just gotten together, Huang Tian would definitely have pounced on her without saying a word.
But now, I'm a little tired of it.
"Okay, you can sleep a little longer. I have something to do this morning."
Huang Tian walked back to the bedroom and picked out a dark gray Arc'teryx T-shirt and a pair of casual pants in the same color from the walk-in closet.
The simple cut and understated brand logo align with his evolving consumption habits.
Instead of pursuing flashy logos, they focus on texture and details.
Although 30 years old is not considered old, one has already become more mature and rational in some aspects.
"Are you coming back for lunch?"
Hu Yixin lay on the pillow, watching him change his clothes with longing eyes.
"Not necessarily, it depends on the situation."
Huang Tian fastened his belt, then bent down and kissed her forehead.
"Order takeout or eat out if you're hungry. Don't be lazy."
"Okay."
Hu Yixin responded in a drawn-out voice, then shrank back under the covers to sleep in.
After washing up, Huang Tian quickly toasted a slice of whole wheat bread in the kitchen, spread some peanut butter on it, ate it with some Evian mineral water from the refrigerator, and then grabbed his car keys and went out.
Traffic wasn't too congested in the morning, and he arrived at the China Merchants Bank branch in less than half an hour. He then made a call to the account manager he had contacted that morning.
The branch is located on the first floor of an office building, with bright and transparent glass doors.
As soon as Huang Tian walked in, a woman in her early thirties, dressed in a well-fitting business suit, greeted him with a smile.
Her makeup was exquisite, her hair was neatly tied back, and she wore a name tag on her chest.
"Is this Mr. Huang? This is Chen Shuya. We spoke on the phone before."
Chen Shuya extended her hand, her posture very proper.
"Hello there."
Huang Tian nodded politely and shook hands with her.
"Mr. Huang, please come with me. Let's talk in the VIP room."
Chen Shuya led him through the hall and into a quiet private room.
The VIP room was decorated in a simple and elegant style, with soft and comfortable sofas and green plants and snacks on the coffee table.
Chen Shuya invited Huang Tian to sit down and soon brought him a cup of freshly ground coffee and a small dish of delicate cookies.
"Mr. Huang, please enjoy your meal."
"Thanks."
Without much small talk, Huang Tian cut straight to the point: "What conditions are needed to upgrade the Golden Sunflower?"
Chen Shuya sat down opposite him, her hands folded on her knees, her posture professional.
"You only need to have an average daily balance of 50 in our bank. I have seen your account balance and transaction history recently, and you have already met this requirement, so I am specifically inviting you to upgrade."
Chen Shuya smiled and explained in detail, "After becoming a Golden Sunflower customer, you can enjoy many exclusive benefits, such as VIP lounge access at multiple airports across the country, a free high-end medical check-up once a year, and invitations to high-end events such as wealth forums and tasting events held by our bank from time to time. In addition, you will also have priority channels and preferential rates in counter business processing and cross-border remittances."
"Then let's upgrade."
Huang Tian was also very decisive.
These benefits are all very useful, especially the airport lounge service.
Huang Tian used to be so envious when he traveled in economy class.
They were in the VIP lounge, enjoying delicious food and drinks, and even had someone thoughtfully reminding them of the registration time.
For him, who was flying economy class, even finding a charging port was a struggle.
"Okay, I'll process it for you right away."
Chen Shuya also liked such straightforward customers, and her smile became even more genuine. She took out the bank's tablet computer and skillfully began to operate it.
"In addition, considering your asset situation and good credit record, we can apply for a platinum credit card for you at the same time. The initial credit limit is about 20 yuan, and the limit can be increased significantly based on your spending and credit accumulation. This card also comes with many high-end benefits, such as flight delay insurance, hotel discounts, points redemption, etc."
"Can."
Huang Tian naturally wouldn't refuse; he did indeed need a high-limit credit card.
In some situations, using a credit card is more convenient than transferring money, and it also helps build credit and enjoy discounts.
Of course, the most important thing is to have class.
The process went smoothly, and Chen Shuya was very skilled.
Most of the procedures were completed on the tablet, requiring only Huang Tian to occasionally sign for confirmation.
The entire process took about half an hour.
"Mr. Huang, this is your new card, it's already activated."
Chen Shuya handed Huang Tian an elegantly designed bank card with gold trim.
"The Platinum Credit Card requires final approval and card production from the head office. It will be mailed to the address you provided in approximately three business days. You will receive a text message notification at that time."
"OK, thanks."
"You're too kind. This is my business card, which has my direct contact information and WeChat ID on it."
Chen Shuya handed over a simple business card with both hands, which read "Chen Shuya" on it.
"For any business needs, financial advice, or simply to learn about the latest events, please feel free to contact me anytime. You are an important client, and I will serve you wholeheartedly."
Huang Tian took the business card, glanced at it, and put it in his pocket: "Okay, I'll contact you if I need anything."
After leaving the bank and getting into his car, Huang Tian did not start the engine immediately.
He picked up the golden sunflower card and twirled it between his fingers.
The card gleamed delicately in the sunlight, and a subtle feeling spread through my heart.
Golden Sunflower customer, Platinum credit card with a limit of 20.
These were things I used to only see others discuss in online forums, things that felt somewhat distant and enviable.
I can't believe I have it so easily now.
