Qian Chengxue earnestly said to Su Mo, “I can’t take it from you. Star Coins in this world are extremely precious and will only become more important and won’t devalue. Whatever you do in the future, you can’t do without Star Coins, and besides, you’ve earned these through hard work—I just can’t accept them. To put it bluntly, the reason we joined the expedition and became the first to eat crabs is precisely to take a gamble and earn some Star Coins, isn’t it?”
“Consider it as my investment. When you really start a company in the future, I can just work for you.”
Su Mo replied with a smile and stuffed the money directly into the box.
When Qian Chengxue heard Su Mo’s words, her heart trembled slightly, and she slowly lowered her head.
Her voice was somewhat choked as she said,
Su Mo gently patted Qian Chengxue’s back.
In the Central District of the Black Brilliance, Star Network Bank officially opened for business.
On the first day of opening, the business was booming.
The queue of customers stretched from inside the bank to the end of the street.
Today, all the shops in the Central District, a rare occurrence, were closed. From the owners to the staff, everyone came to deposit money.
To cater to the deposit services, Star Network Bank opened an additional five hundred windows.
When Su Mo and Qian Chengxue arrived, they were also taken aback.
“So many people? How long will we have to queue?”
Su Mo said in disbelief.
“I remember there’s a VIP window especially for the Military Department inside; let’s go in.”
Qian Chengxue pulled Su Mo and ran inside.
So, the two bypassed the queue and ran towards Star Network Bank.
Just as they were nearing the bank, suddenly Su Mo and Qian Chengxue heard someone calling out,
“Su Mo, Qian Chengxue, over here….”
Following the voice, Su Mo saw Chen Shan waving at him and Qian Chengxue from a distance.
“It’s Chen Shan and the others, let’s go there.”
Qian Chengxue nodded in agreement.
Su Mo and Qian Chengxue ran over.
“You guys are here to deposit money too?”
“Yeah, that’s right. Hey, Su Mo, you sly dog!”
Chen Shan immediately noticed the two holding hands and started to tease.
“Cough cough, I’m here to deposit money too.”
Upon hearing this, Su Mo and Qian Chengxue couldn’t help but let go of each other’s hands, feeling embarrassed.
“Haha, I understand. We’ve all come to deposit money, right? Now, who would keep cash on hand? If it’s lost in the vastness of space, it would all be in vain.”
Chen Shan said without any filter.
“Chen Shan, say something nice.”
Xiao Wen helplessly reminded him.
“Forget about that. You guys queue here; don’t look at the other lines, they are even longer,” Chen Shan told Su Mo and Qian Chengxue.
Immediately after, the two teammates in front of Chen Shan stepped aside and ran to the back of the line.
“Hey hey, this isn’t right.”
“Commander Su Mo, it’s perfectly fine, haha,” the two teammates turned around and shouted to Su Mo with a smile.
Seeing this, Su Mo and Qian Chengxue were grateful and accepted the gesture, queuing up with Chen Shan and his group.
“This is odd; when did you guys line up to get such a good spot?”
Su Mo asked Chen Shan curiously as they small-talked.
“We came to queue up yesterday as soon as we got the news. Otherwise, why do you think we’re this close to the front? Our salaries are always collected by our subordinates running around.”
Chen Shan said proudly.
“Not bad, but I still don’t quite understand why not deposit separately; isn’t it uncomfortable with so many people crammed together?”
Su Mo was a bit puzzled. Since the bank had been established, there was no need to hurry at this moment.
“You just don’t understand; there’s inside information. Star Network Bank is different from normal banks. Normal banks pay interest on deposits, but Star Network Bank charges interest and hefty service fees. However, Star Network Bank has announced that for money deposited within seven days, all interest is waived and remittance fees are halved, so everyone wants to deposit their money within these seven days. In addition, our Military Department offers a benefit where if military personnel deposit their money within seven days, the department will cover all the service fees,”
Chen Shan said to Su Mo.
“I see, but I still don’t quite understand the business model of Star Network Bank.”
Su Mo nodded as he spoke.
“Actually, their operation is not without reason. Although Star Network Bank can remotely transfer deposit data back to the Federation, it doesn’t mean they are without risk in doing this business. They need to absorb the money as soon as possible and then use dedicated fleets and transportation ships to quickly transport it back to the Federation. Otherwise, if Black Brilliance ever goes down, the headquarters bank could go bankrupt,”
Xiao Wen explained to Su Mo.
“In that case, this bank can really do some business,”
Su Mo spoke, somewhat enlightened.
“Of course, they can. The bank can also transport goods back to the Federation, but the fees for that are even higher,”
Chen Shan said with a smile.
Qian Chengxue stood quietly beside Su Mo, seeing him and Chen Shan chatting so happily, her heart was also filled with joy.
At that moment, Chen Shan suddenly remembered something and teasingly asked Su Mo.
“By the way, Su Mo, I want to ask you something.” Find the newest release on novel⟡fire.net
“What is it? Just ask, what’s with the expression,”
Su Mo replied, feeling resigned.
“How much did you settle for this time? I heard the salaries in the GT department are especially high,”
Chen Shan inquired very curiously.
After hearing this, Su Mo was at a loss for words for a moment, feeling like there was no right answer.
“We’re such good friends, there’s no need to hide anything. Just tell me,”
“Really, it’s not much.”
“I don’t believe it. I remember that White Hole incident. Weren’t you the one who blew the whistle on that? You made such a significant contribution; how could it be a small amount?”
Chen Shan said, full of gossip.
At this moment, other people queuing around them turned their heads to look.
“White Hole? Isn’t that Su Mo?”
“Seems like it. So, this is what he looks like. Quite handsome! I always thought he was a burly man or a middle-aged guy. How can he be so young?”
Touching his forehead, Su Mo whispered to Chen Shan,
“Brother, stop making it difficult for me.”
“I’m not making things difficult. Just look at how famous you are now,”
Chen Shan said, somewhat thoughtlessly.
At this moment, Xiao Wen found it a bit unbearable and coughed, saying, “Chen Shan, that’s enough.”
Chen Shan said, feeling helpless.
“Look, even Xiao Wen can’t stand it anymore.”
Su Mo heaved a sigh of relief.
“Alright, alright, we won’t talk about that anymore. How about you just tell us how much you made, that’s fine, right?”
Chen Shan persisted, not giving up.
“Cough cough, I say, Old Chen, you really have no tact. The money I made obviously has to be turned in, are you really going to keep prying?”
Xiao Wen coughed again, saying seriously.
Chen Shan gave Qian Chengxue a look as if he had suddenly understood, then he said to Su Mo,
“Damn, you’re doing well; the progress is quite fast, brother.”
After hearing this, Su Mo felt even more frustrated in his chest and said to Xiao Wen,
“Xiao Wen, that was too much.”
At that time, Qian Chengxue’s gaze was cool as she looked ahead, as if she hadn’t heard Su Mo and the others fooling around. But if you looked closely, you would see that her cheeks had already turned a slight shade of red.
