Urban Most Awesome Dad

After leaving Lu Chennong’s villa, Xu Fan took Little Tongtong, hailed a taxi, and headed straight for the Lu Family Port Auto Center in Zhonghai City.

The taxi driver looked like a local and glanced back at Xu Fan, asking him with a hint of familiarity, “Young man, are you off to see cars at the Lu Family Port Auto City?”

Xu Fan nodded at him noncommittally.

The driver seemed a bit talkative and began to chat with Xu Fan, “You look like a college graduate, not far removed from campus. If you’re buying a car, you can ask me; I’m what my colleagues call a ‘Car Emperor.’ I’ve been driving for decades and know cars better than my wife. I’ve seen many young people like you buying cars. Nowadays, if you want to find a girlfriend, how can you do it without a car? Most youngsters don’t have much money but care about face, so they neither choose the bad nor can afford the good. You’re lucky you met me—I can give you some advice. For someone like you, a domestic car is the most suitable: spacious, low fuel consumption, high configuration, low price, but if you want to show off, it might lack a bit of prestige.”

Xu Fan shook his head and said, “The quality of domestic cars isn’t very reliable. The most important thing for me is the vehicle’s safety performance. If the safety performance isn’t good, no matter how advanced the configuration, I wouldn’t consider it.”

After all, Xu Fan was buying a car for his daughter Tongtong to ride in. If anything were to happen on the road, how could he bear any harm coming to his precious daughter? Xu Fan certainly couldn’t bear the thought, so he had no interest in the taxi driver’s opinion.

“Ah, young man, you don’t understand. Although foreign cars might have slightly better safety features, their prices are decidedly steep. Moreover, those who have cars sometimes have to pay extra to get them delivered. I’ve seen many young people like you, they all start by wanting the best after they see it, but in the end, they can’t escape the ‘Irresistible Appeal Law.’” The driver, while skillfully navigating the traffic, continued to speak to Xu Fan.

Xu Fan shook his head, remaining silent. Just then, his eyes caught sight of a large bank sign on the side of the road, and he called out to the driver, “Stop at the bank up ahead.”

“If you need a loan to buy the car, you can handle that directly at the auto city, no need to make a trip to the bank,” the driver murmured while slowly reducing speed and then stopping by the curb, adding, “Hurry up, bro. We can’t park here.”

Xu Fan shook his hand in response and, scooping up Tongtong, hurried into the bank.

Inside the bank, a pretty lady dressed in a dark blue uniform, wearing a badge indicating her position as the lobby manager, approached Xu Fan as he entered.

The lobby manager gave Xu Fan a professional smile and then asked, “Sir, what services would you like to perform today?”

Xu Fan pulled out a black card from his pocket, flashed it at her, and said, “Withdraw money.”

“Good day, Sir. If you wish to withdraw funds, you may do so directly from the ATM. For window services, you will need to take a number and wait,” the manager said, not taking Xu Fan’s card.

“Can’t it be faster? I can’t wait that long,” Xu Fan frowned and asked with a hint of displeasure.

“I’m sorry, Sir, but unless you are one of our VIP customers, you won’t be able to use our VIP channel. However, I’m familiar with our VIP customers, and you don’t seem to be one of them,” the manager said with a trace of apology.

“Who says I don’t qualify? Just check the card and you’ll see,” Xu Fan replied, tossing the black card to the lobby manager.

The lobby manager caught the card and after a careful look, her expression changed instantly.

The Global Supreme Black Diamond Card issued by Yan Country banks has a circulation of no more than 1,000 cards nationwide.

This card serves as both a credit and debit card with a credit limit alone reaching 5 million. Even some individuals listed on Forbes’s wealth rankings don’t have access to this card because it’s not just about wealth; this card is a symbol of status available only to the aristocrats of Yan Country’s elite families through internal channels of Yan Country banks.

The Global Supreme Black Diamond Card Xu Fan held was one he had obtained back when he was the heir of the Xu Family. After he was expelled from the Xu Family, fearing retaliation, he never used it.

Taking the opportunity of buying a car, Xu Fan planned to withdraw a portion of the money from the card, as he needed to cover everyday expenses. Swiping the card was cool, but the funds in it could potentially be frozen, so withdrawing was a safer option.

Previously, Xu Fan was afraid of repurcussions and didn’t dare to use the card’s funds. But now, he was no longer the same defeated young man. The Xu Fan of today had no fear of the Xu Family.

So, intending to buy a car, he decided to take the card out—after all, if the money was not used, it would just go to waste. The money of the Xu Family was his own, and he would personally reclaim everything from the Xu Family eventually.

“Good day, Sir. I apologize that we didn’t have your information to provide you with high-quality service instantly. Please understand. What service do you need? Please follow me to the VIP channel over here, where our staff will attend to you immediately,” the lobby manager said, changing her demeanor after holding the Supreme Black Diamond Card, and addressed Xu Fan respectfully.

“Just withdraw the money for me, saves me the trip over,” Xu Fan waved his hand and replied.

“Good day, Sir. How much would you like to withdraw?”

“Withdraw one million. The password is six eights,” Xu Fan said without looking up.

“Very well, Sir. Please wait a moment,” the bank manager said, taking the card and swiftly turning towards the bank’s counter.

At once, another lady immaculately dressed approached Xu Fan, inviting him to sit on the comfortable sofa in the VIP reception area.

Seeing that the lobby manager had already begun processing the withdrawal at the counter, Xu Fan rubbed Little Tongtong’s head and said to her, “Daddy’s withdrawing some pocket money to buy Tongtong a car.”

“Daddy is great. Tongtong wants to ride in Daddy’s car,” Tongtong shook her little hands, saying excitedly.

Before long, the lobby manager came over to Xu Fan, bowing respectfully and asked, “Sir, your money is ready. Did you bring a backpack or suitcase to carry it?”

“I didn’t bring one. Do you have one here? I’ll buy it, just deduct the cost from my card,” Xu Fan replied, feeling a bit of a headache. A million wasn’t a small amount; it couldn’t possibly fit in his pockets, and he hadn’t thought to bring a bag in his haste to leave.

“I’m sorry, Sir. We currently don’t have any bags or suitcases. Would it be alright if we use paper bags meant for our promotional gifts to pack it?” the lobby manager said, inwardly thinking how careless it was for someone to withdraw cash without a bag—who knows the risk of getting robbed while walking outside.
