Chapter 60: Obtaining Two Hundred Thousand in Cash!

Soon, they arrived at the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China branch on Zhengzhou Road.

Entering, Tang Feng immediately felt overwhelmed.

The place was packed with customers!

Not only were all the service windows occupied, but even the waiting chairs were full to the brim!

Among them were many young people.

Before his rebirth, he had visited banks a few times.

It was mostly older people handling their affairs there.

After all, the elderly were not very familiar with mobile payments.

But young people rarely went to banks these days. Most transactions could be handled on a mobile phone.

Very convenient.

Even though he now had a system, in terms of convenience, the experience was far from satisfactory.

“What service do you need?” a staff member in the reception hall approached to ask.

“I want to withdraw money,” Tang Feng answered.

“From a bank card or a deposit slip?”

“Bank card.”

“For a bank card, you can use the ATM next to you.”

“How much can I withdraw from the ATM?”

“Ten thousand yuan.”

“That won’t work!” Tang Feng shook his head, “Ten thousand is too little!”

“How much do you plan to withdraw?”

“Two hundred thousand!”

The staff member was taken aback by this amount!

After all, in her view, Tang Feng, at his age, was at most a high school student.

The most he could have in his card would be a few hundred to a thousand yuan for living expenses.

She didn’t expect it to be two hundred thousand!

“How much did you say?” the staff member asked again for confirmation.

“Two hundred thousand!”

“Did you make an appointment?”

“No! I’m in urgent need of the money, could you please arrange something?” Tang Feng responded.

The staff member glanced at the busy service windows, thought for a moment, and then said to Tang Feng, “Follow me!”

She led Tang Feng and Su Xiaoli to the second floor.

There were two service windows on the second floor.

However, not many people were handling business there.

“This is our VIP service window. Let me first ask if it’s possible to withdraw such an amount,” the staff member offered proactively.

Tang Feng and Su Xiaoli waited on the spot.

Soon, the staff member returned to them.

“Sir, you’re in luck today! The bank just received payments from two big clients! You can proceed to the window to handle your transaction!”

“Thank you very much!” Tang Feng approached the service window and handed over his bank card.

Then came the continuous sound of the cash counting machine.

After all, two hundred thousand in cash was not a small amount.

It took a full twenty minutes for Tang Feng to complete the transaction.

He packed the two hundred thousand cash into a prepared bag.

It felt heavy in his hand.

“Sir, do you have any other transactions to handle?”

“No!” Tang Feng stood up.

“Please rate our service.”

Naturally, Tang Feng gave a positive rating.

The staff member escorted Tang Feng to the exit.

“Tang Feng, I want to ask, what does it feel like to carry so much cash in your hand?” Su Xiaoli, who had been quiet, finally spoke.

“Scared!” Tang Feng honestly replied.

“Scared?” Su Xiaoli paused in surprise.

“Yes,” Tang Feng nodded, “Carrying so much cash, how can I not be afraid? In case…”

“Don’t talk nonsense here! Let’s hurry back home,” Su Xiaoli looked around, becoming nervous as well.

They hurried back home.

Tang Long and his wife had not yet returned.

Tang Feng opened the bag, pouring all the cash onto the coffee table!

Immediately, the entire coffee table turned into a sea of red!

Tang Feng was also somewhat stunned looking at so much cash.

After all, this was the first time he had seen so much cash in his life!

The shock was evident.

And all this money belonged to him!

Su Xiaoli was also staring, unable to take her eyes off it.

After a while, Tang Feng heard the sound of keys unlocking the door.

Tang Long and his wife walked in.

“Little Feng, Xiaoli, why are you two standing here?” Tang Feng’s Mother asked as she changed her shoes.

Tang Feng and Su Xiaoli didn’t say anything.

Just as Tang Feng’s Mother was about to ask again, she saw the cash on the coffee table!

“My goodness! Little Feng, where did all this cash come from?” Tang Feng’s Mother’s face showed an exaggerated expression!

“I just withdrew it from the bank with Xiaoli,” Tang Feng answered.

“You lad! When you went to withdraw money, why didn’t you call us to go with you?” Tang Long looked at the bright red bills, his tone somewhat reproachful.

After all, this was two hundred thousand!

If some criminals set their sights on them, that could be troublesome!

Losing money was the least of their worries; they could even lose their lives!

“Weren’t you out looking for a storefront? We had nothing to do at home, so we went to the bank to try our luck,” Tang Feng responded.

“Try our luck? What does that mean?” Tang Long was puzzled.

“Xiaoli said we needed to make an appointment to withdraw such a large amount!”

“Then how did you manage to withdraw all this money?”

“Luckily, the bank had just received payments from two big clients today, so they had enough cash!”

“Husband, let’s put this money away! Seeing all this red is making me uncomfortable,” Tang Feng’s Mother urged.

Laughing, Tang Long packed all the money into the bag.

This was the second time he had seen so much money!

The first time was when he was laid off and bought out his years of service with his wife!

Back then, the hundred-yuan bills were not red but dark green.

His feelings at the time were not of excitement but of loss.

The taste of being laid off was really unpleasant.

“Little Feng, are you sure all this money is for opening the restaurant?” Tang Long asked.

“Yes!” Tang Feng nodded, “If it’s not enough, I’ll figure something out.”

“With this much money, it’s definitely enough! We’ve found a suitable location, two floors, at a reasonable price! We’re planning to rent it!” Tang Long announced.

“How much per month?” Tang Feng inquired.

“Two thousand yuan a month,” Tang Long answered.

“Two thousand? How big is the space? Given current real estate prices, that rent isn’t cheap!” Tang Feng continued to inquire.

“About 220 square meters.”

“The size is okay! Where is the location? Is it near our community?”

“Yes! It’s about two hundred meters from the supermarket we used to run.”

“If you think the price is right, then hurry up and finalize it! Then start the renovation! Aim to open within a week!” Tang Feng seemed excited.

Thinking about earning a substantial amount of points within a week of opening, he couldn’t help but feel happy.

“Little Feng, isn’t a week a bit short?” Tang Feng’s Mother raised a concern.

“Not short! As long as the money is in place, the renovation can be done quickly! Mom and Dad, time waits for no one! While I’m not yet at school, I’ll help you get the restaurant up and running!”

“Wife, let’s do as Little Feng says! After we eat, let’s go sign the contract with the landlord! Then hurry up with the renovation!” Tang Long, spurred on by his son, also became anxious.

“Okay!” Tang Feng’s Mother nodded, “I’ll go cook!”

“Let me do it! You just came back from outside, take a rest,” Tang Feng said, then walked into the kitchen.

Tang Feng’s Mother watched her son’s back, her lips curling into a smile.
