"I came over to handle some business." Ning Youguang smiled as she spoke to Mrs. Zhao.

"You’re here for business too?" Mrs. Zhao glanced at the surprised Deputy Branch Manager Zhang next to her and walked over to Ning Youguang with a cheerful smile, holding her hand, "What a coincidence."

"Yes, it’s quite a coincidence."

"How’s your business going?"

"Almost done."

"I’ll be quick too." Mrs. Zhao warmly held Ning Youguang’s hand tightly, "Wait for me a bit, once I’m done, we’ll have a meal together."

"Aunt Zhao, I..."

Ning Youguang was about to decline but was interrupted by Mrs. Zhao.

"You’re not allowed to refuse me today. If we’re short on time, we’ll eat something simple, if we have time, we’ll eat something nicer." Mrs. Zhao pretended to be dissatisfied as she looked at her, "I’ve asked you out so many times, and you always say you’re busy. No matter how busy, you shouldn’t be too busy to have a meal with this old lady today, right?"

"How are you old?" Ning Youguang looked speechlessly at Mrs. Zhao, who was elegantly dressed in jewels and still charming, "If it weren’t for Senior Zhao, I shouldn’t even be calling you Aunt, I should be calling you Sister."

"You child." Mrs. Zhao was delighted by her calling her "Sister."

She turned her head and smiled at Deputy Branch Manager Zhang, "Old Zhang, please help me speed things up."

Deputy Branch Manager Zhang chuckled as he turned, "Then please come with me this way."

Mrs. Zhao asked Ning Youguang, "You’re having tea in the VIP room at the back, right? I’ll sit with you and wait for a while, okay?"

"Of course." Ning Youguang then gently supported Mrs. Zhao as they turned towards the VIP room where she was.

Her account manager was waiting nearby.

As soon as she and Mrs. Zhao entered, he immediately followed them in, "Miss Ning, please sign here."

Mrs. Zhao sat on the sofa at the opposite side of Ning Youguang, "Little Ning, you carry on with your work. I’m thirsty, I’ll have a sip of water first."

Though she said this, she didn’t touch the teacup.

At this moment, a pretty girl dressed in a bank uniform came in carrying several bags.

She first placed four of them on the table and spoke to the account manager who was attending to Ning Youguang, "Xiao He, this is Jade Lilong and mooncakes for Miss Ning; don’t forget to give them to her when she’s done."

After speaking, she turned to give the other four bags respectfully to Mrs. Zhao, "Mrs. Zhao, our branch manager asked me to bring you tea and mooncakes."

"Manager Zhang is too kind." Mrs. Zhao accepted with a smile.

"These are Mid-Autumn Festival gifts our branch prepared for clients; they just arrived this morning." The pretty girl in uniform crouched down and started preparing the tea, boiling water, changing tea leaves, rinsing cups, brewing tea...

Once the tea was brewed, she poured a cup for both Mrs. Zhao and Ning Youguang, "Mrs. Zhao, please try this Jade Lilong."

"This is Jade Lilong, is it?" Mrs. Zhao elegantly picked up the teacup and sniffed it, "It’s very fragrant."

"I think this tea is fresh and delightful." Ning Youguang had just finished signing.

"Really." Mrs. Zhao smiled and drank the tea in her cup, "Nice, it suits the weather perfectly."

...

Before long, Ning Youguang and Mrs. Zhao finished their business, and with Deputy Branch Manager Zhang leading the account manager and the bank employee who made their tea, they were sent off as they left the bank.

Mrs. Zhao’s driver was waiting outside the bank. 1314
