Chapter 165: One of the Three Major Banks in Central China Zhongyuan City is at least as big as four Wuheng counties. Walking from the refugee area in the north to the commercial area in the south is equivalent to crossing two counties on the border. Fortunately, Gu Chan and Scar took a horse-drawn carriage to the commercial district. If they had to walk like before, they might not have reached their destination before dark. Not long after the carriage left the refugee area, Gu Chan fell asleep in the carriage. Scar had been sitting in the front driving the carriage obediently, not daring to play tricks on her. After the carriage entered the commercial area, Scar lifted the curtain and said to Gu Chan who was sleeping soundly inside with a smile, "Boss, we are in the commercial area." "Oh!" Gu Chan woke up and responded casually. Then she sat up, rubbed her sleepy face with her hands, and then opened the curtain of the carriage to look out. Just by looking at it, she almost felt as if her eyes brightened. The commercial district alone in Zhongyuan City is equivalent to the wealthy area of Wuheng County. There are high-rise buildings everywhere on both sides of the streets, and many red lanterns are hung outside each high-rise building. After dark, once the lanterns are lit, you can imagine how beautiful the scenery is. The shops here are also varied and have everything. Gu Chan looked at the dazzling array of shops and all kinds of strange and peculiar goods and couldn't help but open her mouth and click her tongue.
"Oh my god! This place really looks like the world I used to live in, those well-built ancient tourist towns and other scenic spots!" After looking for a while, Gu Chan couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Not bad! From a modern perspective, the Zhongyuan City commercial district is similar to an ancient tourist town. The only difference is that the tourist ancient towns were built by modern people in imitation of ancient styles, but here is a real ancient scene. There are no QR codes on the shops or stalls, and no one is taking pictures with their mobile phones, or flying drones in the sky. Just as Gu Chan was looking at the bustling street scene in front of her and was lost in thought, the carriage suddenly stopped. Scar opened the door of the car again and said to her with a smile, "Boss, we are outside Zhongyuan Medical Clinic now." "Damn! My butt is sore from sitting so hard all the way." Gu Chan cursed angrily before getting out of the carriage. After getting off the carriage and standing in front of the Zhongyuan Medical Building, she looked up at the tall building in front of her and couldn't help but mutter to herself, "One, two, three... five, six, seven, damn! It's actually a seven-story building. This guy is really rich!" In this world, to measure whether an organization is rich or not, just look at how many floors its office building has, or how big the residential area is. Like the carved building in front of you, it has seven floors, and each floor is built with fine wood. The construction craftsmanship can be said to be at master level. This is enough to prove that Zhongyuan Medical Bank, one of the three major banks in Zhongyuan City, is indeed a powerful bank that cannot be underestimated. Scar saw Gu Chan looking at the building in front of him with a surprised look on his face, and he couldn't help but laugh, "Boss, Zhongyuan Medical Bank is known as one of the three major banks in Zhongyuan. Except for the border, the branches of the three major banks are almost all over Tiancang Country. You have to be careful when you go in later, don't offend anyone!" "I'm here to do my job, not to offend anyone. What are you afraid of?" Gu Chan asked back. "Boss, you don't know that anyone who can work here, even if he's just a sweeper, has connections behind the scenes. They're not people like us who come from the refugee zone who can afford to offend!" Scar reminded him in time. In the ancient times with a strict hierarchical system, it was naturally different from the modern concept of equality for all. Just like what Scar said, even if he was just a sweeper, his status would be much higher than the refugees from the refugee area. Even if this sweeper could live in the commercial area, his status would be higher than the civilians in the civilian area of the West District. After understanding this, Gu Chan did not dare to be arrogant, and turned to Scar and said, "Then go park the carriage first, and we will go in together later." "Hehe... Boss, I... I'll just wait for you outside. A refugee like me wouldn't dare to enter a place like this." Ma Ba laughed dryly and admitted his mistake on the spot. Gu Chan said angrily, "What's wrong with refugees? Are refugees not human beings? Besides, you are here with me to do things, not to beg for food. What are you afraid of? Hurry up and park the carriage." "This……"
"Go, if you don't listen, I will beat you." Gu Chan pretended to be angry and shouted coldly. Scar's neck shrank in fear, and he dared not refuse anymore. He immediately parked the carriage on an open space at the side, then trotted over and followed Gu Chan obediently towards the building. But as soon as the two men reached the gate, they were stopped by a gatekeeper. The guy glanced at the two of them with disdain and asked casually, "Which district are you from?" "Come, I'll treat you to some tea." Gu Chan didn't answer at all. She just took out a ten-liang silver ingot from her sleeve and threw it over. The guy was stunned at first, then he quickly reached out to take it. After taking the silver and weighing it, he found that it was actually a ten-liang silver ingot. He immediately put the silver into his sleeve and hid it. Then he smiled and bent down to make a gesture to Gu Chan, "Two distinguished guests, please come in." Gu Chan curled her lips into a smile and walked in with her scar on her face. She had already figured out these rules when she was at the border. In this world, to control these gatekeepers, you just need to be generous and don't need to bother too much with such small characters. Sometimes you have to pretend to be something you shouldn't, otherwise it would be difficult just to get in the door. After the two followed the doorman into the lobby on the ground floor, they discovered that there were several rows of chairs in the lobby and luxurious lounge chairs on both sides. Some people wearing silk clothes were already lying on the lounge chairs on both sides. They were not only drinking fragrant tea, but also having beautiful girls cleaning their ears and giving them massages. They were enjoying themselves very much. Those who were less well dressed sat on the hard chairs placed in the lobby. They didn't even have a cup of tea and could only sit there and wait. There are ten counters lined up in front of everyone, and there is a chair in front of each counter. People who want to do business have to sit on the chair and negotiate with the person sitting behind the counter. After Gu Chan saw the situation inside Zhongyuan Medical Clinic, she was completely stunned. Even after she came in and sat down, she couldn't help but look back at the door to make sure that she was not dreaming and had not traveled back to the modern era. Only then did she calm down. "Fuck you, you scared me to death. I thought I was in a bank just now. Damn it!" After calming down, Gu Chan couldn't help but stare at the row of counters in front of her and couldn't help cursing inwardly. (End of this chapter)
