21 Switching (1/2)
Manager's office.
Ren Shirong and Li Xiuying sat on one side of a desk and opposite them was Mao Syà.
Mao Syà took a deep breath.
Mao Syà: ”Dr. Li, how can I... ”
Ren Shirong cleared his throat. Mao Syà looked over to founder Ren.
Mao Syà: ”Dr. Li, how can WE help you today?”
Ren Shirong nodded.
Li Xiuying: ”My uncle has taken all my bank and credit cards.”
Mao Syà: ”Without your permission?”
Li Xiuying: ”Yes”
Mao Syà: ”You can choose to report your cards stolen, if you have the app you can do it through there. But since you're here I can place a temporary block or permanent block and request a replacement card for you?
Li Xiuying: ”I want to open a new account”
Mao Syà: ”We can only help with the accounts you have with City bank.”
Ren Shirong cleared his throat.
Mao Syà: ”We can try to help with all your bank accounts?”
She looked over to Founder Ren.
Ren Shirong nodded.
Li Xiuying: ”I would like to close all the currents accounts I have with other banks and transfer all the funds to a new City Bank account under just my name.”
Mao Syà: ”Okay, so it will be more like switching accounts.”
Li Xiuying: ”Yes.”
Mao Syà couldn't help and recall the monologue Dr. Li had spoken in the foyer, but now getting a single sentence from Dr. Li was like pulling teeth.
Mao Syà: ”Lets sort out your current accounts first and then we can talk about your credit cards.”
She turned to the computer and started typing.
Mao Syà: ”First, lets open a new account for you.”
Mao Syà: Full name, phone number, email address, address.
LI Xiuying: ”Madam Qin outside can provide my new address and I don't have a phone, just make a number up, I'll call today with a phone number.”
Someone knocked on the door 30 seconds later.
Ren Shirong: ”Come in”
It was a staff member, she handed Ren Shirong a piece of paper which he passed to Mao Syà.
Mao Syà opened the piece of paper, it had an address written on it. She continued typing.
Founder Ren must have asked a staff member to approach Madame Qin.
Mao Syà: ”Could I have your work details. Where you're working, estimation of salary before tax, monthly expenditure, monthly income”
Li Xiuying: ”Unity hospital, surgeon. $10 million a year, arrangement made today, officially starting Friday 12th.”
Mao Syà face was a picture of professionalism as she was typing, but inside she was screaming.
She's only 23 years old and already a surgeon! $10 million a year!
Mao Syà asked a few more questions and completed the rest of the form.
Mao Syà: ”Okay that's all set up for you.”
She printed off a copy of the account information and handed it to Li Xiuying.
Mao Syà: ”If you give me the details of your other accounts, we will contact them and have all your finances switched to this new account.”
Li Xiuying: ”Four current accounts. City bank Account no..., Theta bank account no...., Bank of Guozijian account no....., Rednaxela commercial bank account number.....
Li Xiuying had only seen her account details once when she was first opening them. Her uncle snatched the documents out of her hand as soon as they left each bank.
Mao Syà: ”You can choose a switch date, if you aren't sure then we'll automatically do it seven days from today. I forgot to mention in order for us to close these account they will have to solely belong to you with i.e. no joint accounts.”
Li Xiuying nodded.
Her uncle had initially wanted to open joint accounts with Li Xiuying, but she had adamantly refused to open a bank account if that was the case. At the time she only refused because she recalled her mother telling her that money and family don't mix well together.
