Zhou Xiaozhou was stunned. She obviously didn't expect Zhao Hanyu to directly ask her to drive his car to Fanjia Village.

You have to know that this was the early 1990s, when there were few private cars and almost every car owner treasured their car very much. How could they easily lend it to outsiders?

But Zhao Hanyu borrowed it anyway, and he took the initiative to ask for it.

Zhou Xiaozhou was somewhat touched, but he refused, "How can this be possible?"

Zhao Hanyu said: "Why not? You want to go to Fanjia Village, it will be inconvenient without a car!"

If it were an ordinary person, Zhao Hanyu would definitely not take the initiative, but this time it was different. Zhou Xiaozhou was eager to get the task assigned by his third brother done, and the matter itself was related to him, so he would definitely be happy to provide convenience to Zhou Xiaozhou.

Besides, he already had a very good impression of Zhou Xiaozhou, so he was so generous.

Zhou Xiaozhou continued, "I took your car away, but it's not convenient for you. You still have things that Third Brother has asked you to do..."

Zhao Hanyu waved his hand. "It's very convenient for me. I have a car."

Hearing him say this, Zhou Xiaozhou hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, thank you. I'll drive to do my business first and then return it to you when I'm done!"

Zhao Hanyu laughed, "That's right, we are all working for Third Brother, so you don't have to be so polite to me!"

"Okay!" Zhou Xiaozhou agreed with a smile.

After this incident, the relationship between the two became much closer, which can be seen from the casualness of their conversation.

When he arrived at the bank, Zhao Hanyu took out his bank card to withdraw money.

There are very few bank cards nowadays, but Zhao Hanyu’s identity is different. He is one of the earliest people in Qingwa City to hold a bank card.

What Zhou Xiaozhou took out was the passbook.

Even with her status, she still hasn't got a bank card, which shows how rare bank cards are now.

Zhou Xiaozhou used his passbook to withdraw money, and Zhao Hanyu naturally saw it. After withdrawing the money, he said to Zhou Xiaozhou: "You should apply for a bank card. It's more convenient than carrying a passbook."

"No need!" Zhou Xiaozhou said, "It's all the same. I usually carry a bag anyway, so it's no problem to put a passbook in it."

There are few bank cards nowadays, but Zhou Xiaozhou's father Zhou Weiguo has one. After he got the bank card, he showed it off to Zhou Xiaozhou.

Therefore, Zhou Xiaozhou also knew that it was not easy to apply for a bank card. If you want to be a VIP customer of a bank, you need to deposit at least 50,000 yuan.

She had more than 10,000 yuan in private money, which made her a millionaire, and she was definitely a wealthy person in the entire Qingwa City.

But a deposit of more than 10,000 yuan is still not enough to apply for a bank card.

Zhao Hanyu thought of the time on the way to Fanjia Village when Shen Qiansan asked Zhou Xiaozhou how much money he could come up with, and Zhou Xiaozhou said more than ten thousand.

Of course he knew that he had to deposit at least 50,000 yuan to open a bank card.

After a moment of hesitation, Zhao Hanyu said, "Let's get one. It will be more convenient in the future."

After that, without waiting for Zhou Xiaozhou to refuse, he directly said to the bank staff: "Apply for a bank card for Mr. Zhou!"

The bank staff knew Zhao Hanyu. They only took one look at Zhou Xiaozhou and said, "I'll tell the manager."

She doesn't have that authority and must report it.

Soon, the staff member came back and asked Zhou Xiaozhou to give her the passbook, then issued her a bank card and a new passbook.

After the process was completed, the staff member said to Zhou Xiaozhou: "Mr. Zhou, the bank card has been processed for you, and a new passbook has been opened for you. The balance on your previous passbook has also been transferred."

In this era, bank cards and passbooks coexisted and were used interchangeably. It was not until many years later that bank cards alone became available without passbooks.

Zhou Xiaozhou was still a little dazed after receiving the bank card and the new passbook. His father praised him so much. He said that without a deposit of more than 50,000 yuan and strong connections, it would be impossible to get a bank card. How could he just get it for him?

They didn't even mention the need to deposit 50,000 yuan, and it was just done like that?

However, when Zhou Xiaozhou thought about who Zhao Hanyu was, he felt relieved.

Not only is he rich, he's also the mayor's son.

He spoke, and the bank manager refused?

This incident was just a small episode. Most people would probably just sigh at the influence of power, or flatter Zhao Hanyu's status and position, and feel proud to have a friend like Zhao Hanyu.

But Zhou Xiaozhou is not an ordinary person after all. After a brief surprise, she gradually realized some truths.

It turns out that some of the rules in this world are made for ordinary people to follow. For some special groups of people, they don't have to follow the rules at all.

In other words, the reason why this society has so many rules is to make things convenient for those who don't have to follow the rules.

Many people may not understand this!

Only a very small number of people who have insight into the underlying logic of society can understand it.

Zhou Xiaozhou smiled, thanked the bank staff, and then left with Zhao Hanyu.

I didn't say thank you to Zhao Hanyu.

No need.

According to the previous agreement, Zhou Xiaozhou drove Zhao Hanyu's car to Fanjia Village, while Zhao Hanyu left on his own.

Of course he didn't need to walk. He hailed a taxi and went straight to Wang Jianlin's office.

Such good things must naturally be shared with Wang Jianlin first.

Wang Jianlin didn't take it seriously when he saw Zhao Hanyu coming. He didn't even ask why he came. He just smiled and said, "Here you are. Sit down first and pour yourself some water!"

After that, deal with the matter at hand.

After all, the two of them often went to each other's offices and were already used to it, so there was no need to be polite.

Zhao Hanyu didn't sit down either. He said, "Just do your thing first. I'll make two calls. We'll talk after you're done."

Wang Jianlin nodded.

Zhao Hanyu quickly dialed the phone and made arrangements.

After that call, two more calls were made.

Before he hung up, Wang Jianlin had already finished his work and poured a cup of tea for Zhao Hanyu. After Zhao Hanyu hung up, he smiled and asked, "Why did you suddenly buy so much steel and ship it to Fanjia Village?"

Wang Jianlin also heard some of what Zhao Hanyu said on the phone. Since there was nothing that the two of them couldn't talk about, he just asked casually.

Zhao Hanyu smiled and said, "Third brother wants it!"

Wang Jianlin's eyes lit up, and he blurted out, "Has Third Brother's project in Fanjia Village started?"

Wang Jianlin not only knew that Shen Qiansan wanted to develop Fanjia Village, but Shen Qiansan also asked him and Zhao Hanyu to participate as well.

Naturally, he thought that the project to develop Fanjia Village had started, otherwise why would so much steel be suddenly needed?

But he felt a little strange because he hadn't heard any news from Shen Qiansan before.

Zhao Hanyu laughed and waved his hand, "No, it's something else. I came here to tell you."
