Chapter 20
“Mr. Ye, don’t fall into their trap.”
“They want to see you embarrass yourself.”
“You should go. Miss Wang really will call the police.”
And even if you really want to get back at them, you don’t have to do it now. Wait fifty years. When you have become a successful person, it’s still not too late to have your revenge, right? I believe when that time comes, you will be able to step on these people who are looking down on you now.”
Just as Ye Fan was about to step forward, Li Xiao-Hong who was standing behind him tried to pull him back. She looked at him and kept shaking her head, as worry filled her eyes.
Obviously, even Li Xiao-Hong thought that Ye Fan’s card was a forgery. Her impression of him was that of an angry and impulsive young man out to right a wrong. In the end, the whole thing was just a farce.
After all, it was difficult to believe that a college-age person like Ye Fan would possess the Hongqi Bank’s black card.
As for all that talk about succeeding in life fifty years later, that was just Li Xiao-Hong’s attempt to console him.
In this world, it was not easy for someone to reach the top.
Especially for the poor people. Ninety-nine percent of them would be doomed to a life of servitude. And, in their minds, Ye Fan would be no exception.
But Ye Fan smiled lightly and said, “Fifty years?”
“Do I need fifty years to surpass them?”
“Right now, they are already beneath me!”
He smiled derisively and handed over his black card to a bank employee at the counter.
“Whoa!”
“The poor bastard has gone and done it!”
“Wait and see. He’s going to embarrass himself!”
“Let’s see how you are going to get out of this mess?”
Wang Kai-Wen and company looked at Ye Fan mockingly, as if he was an idiot.
Wang Yu’s expression was full of disdain. “Country bumpkins will be country bumpkins. Just provoke them a little and they start acting stupid.”
All at once, the onlookers started laughing at Ye Fan’s ignorance. Everyone was waiting for him to make a fool of himself.
Finally, a bank employee received the card from Ye Fan and swiped it through the card reader. And a shrill buzz rang out almost immediately, startling everyone in the lobby.
At the same time. The fifth floor conference room of Hongqi Bank.
The bank manager Xu Lei was dressed in a black office lady outfit, which helped to outline her attractive figure. Her slim porcelain legs were encased in luxurious silk stockings and the pair of silvery high heels on her feet served to emphasize her elegant and mature charms as a woman.
Currently, she was conducting a meeting with the bank executives. But the middle-aged men below the podium were probably not paying much attention. The allure of her “uniform” combined with her aloof and authoritative aura were proving to be too much to bear for the lustful executives.
Who knew which lucky bastard would obtain this sex goddess in the future? What a shame that would be.
Just as these middle-aged men were mentally sighing over this imagined tragedy, an alarm rang out frantically from Xu Lei’s phone. She frowned. That was a top priority alarm. It was supposed to activate only when there was something important for her to know.
So she put the meeting on hold and took a look at her phone.
And in the next moment, Xu Lei’s pupils contracted in shock and a shiver ran through her body.
Ten years. She had been waiting for the past ten years for card number 001 to appear!
It could be excitement. Or it could be shock. Whatever the reason was, Xu Lei turned away from the meeting and ran out of the conference room, her exquisite high heels clacking against the floor along
the way.
“Manager, manager. Where are you going?”
“Are we still having the meeting?”
But Xu Lei sprinted away in her high heels, while the abandoned bank executives sat around and looked at each other.
“Eh?”
“What’s going on?”
“Is this for real?”
After the alarm stopped buzzing, Wang Yu and Wang Kai-Wen frantically asked the junior bank employee for answers.
The junior employee frowned and said, “Miss Wang, it seems like this card is real.”
“What?”
“Impossible!”
Wang Kai-Wen was shocked and refused to believe her ears.
“Miss Wang , don’t worry. Wait for me to finish speaking. This card really belongs to our bank. But it’s
probably not the black card. Because when I swiped it earlier, the machine issued a warning. There’s insufficient fund in the account.”
Pfft~
There was a moment of silence that last for about a fraction of a second. And then the whole room burst into laughter.
“Haha~”
“I thought he’s somebody awesome?”
“Don’t show off when you have insufficient fund!”
“Haha~”
“Oh, this is killing me.”
“I think he not only has insufficient fund, but his intelligence is insufficient as well. He wants to withdraw all the money in the bank?”
“Screw you!”
In the lobby, many people were bent over with laughter. Ye Fan had become a laughing stock in their eyes.
“Impossible. I have never used this card before. How could there be insufficient fund?” Ye Fan had a
terrible expression on his face now.
He had never doubted the authenticity of the black card. After all, with the influence of the Chu family, it was easy enough for them to obtain one.
This black card was the bride price his useless father had paid to his mother. Afterward, Ye Fan had withdrawn a sizeable amount and given it to Han for investments.
Ten years had passed and, according to Han, the return rate for those ten-year-old investments was one thousand percent. Each year, a huge amount of money would be deposited into the black card.
So, how could it have insufficient fund?
That was a bloody lie!
“Swipe it again!”
Ye Fan repeated his instruction angrily. And, once again, the bank employee complied.
But the result was the same as before. On the screen, the account balance was represented by a string of asterisks.
The bank employee smiled and said, “I am sorry, but you have insufficient fund.”
“Haha~”
There was another round of laughter.
“What an idiot. And he wanted to withdraw twenty million?”
“What a joke.”
“Wen, you can call the police now.” Wang Yu said contemptuously. He had no more desire to watch this farce, and left the bank with his female companion.
After Wang Kai-Wen had seen Wang Yu off, she instructed the security guards to chase Ye Fan out of the bank.
“Get this idiot out of here!”
“Aren’t you going to leave?”
Wang Kai-Wen screamed, her voice dripping with disgust.
“Stop!”
Suddenly, a woman’s aloof and authoritative voice rang out from the back.
Xu Lei had already arrived at the lobby. And almost immediately, she spotted the black card Ye Fan was holding.
The black card was just so eye-catching that she couldn’t help but notice it.
“Manager!”
“It’s the manager. The manager is here. That poor bastard is going to get it.”
A number of onlookers laughed quietly. While Li Xiao-Hong and Wang Kai-Wen, who were bank employees, hurried forward to greet their superior.
“Just now, was it this gentleman who took out the black card?” Xu Lei asked immediately.
“Miss Xu, I was about to report to you?” Wang Kai-Wen replied quickly.
“Just now, an idiot came into our bank and not only did he disrupt our business operations, but he also tried to use a forgery of our bank’s black card. And even said he wanted to withdraw all our money.”
“But don’t worry, ma’am. I have taken care of the troublemaker. I have already instructed the security guards to restrain him.”
What?
When Xu Lei heard this, her heart almost popped out of her chest.
“You told the security guards to restrain him?”
Xu Lei almost went out of her mind. Suddenly, she felt ill. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
Ten years. She had been waiting for this person for ten years.
During the past ten years, she had always wanted to meet the card holder.
Outsiders had no idea but, as the person-in-charge of the Yunzhou branch of Hongqi Bank, Xu Lei knew the true purpose of this particular branch. It existed for the sake of one person.
In other words, the Hongqi Bank set up a branch in Yunzhou city just so they could service this one person. So one could imagine, this black card with the code number 001...
