Chapter 2: The Missing Father
"My father?" Lu Fan's eyes widened suddenly, and his expression was extremely surprised.
Those who are familiar with Lu Fan know that he is a single-parent family, he has never seen his father since he was a child, and it was his mother who brought him up with hard work.
When he was very young, he once asked his mother about his father, but his mother was straight red in the eye, and then sobbed and told him that his father had died before he was born.
It was the first time he had seen his mother cry so sadly, so from now on, he would never dare to mention the word "father" again.
Last month, his mother's factory died of carbon monoxide poisoning as a result of inadequate safety measures at her factory.
Lu Fan thought that he would be an orphan in the future, but he didn't expect that at this time, a father suddenly appeared!
Lu Yaqi looked at Lu Fan's surprised expression and knew that he couldn't accept this sudden fact.
She sighed and said, "I know you're having a hard time believing this now, but when you meet your father, you'll know the truth!"
"Then are you going to take me to see my father now?" Lu Fan asked.
Lu Yaqi shook her head, but her tone was serious: "Uncle Lu hasn't arrived in Jiangbei yet, he won't come over until a few days, now I'll take you to the bank first and get back some things that should have belonged to you a long time ago!"
"What should have belonged to me a long time ago?" Lu Fan repeated these words, even more confused.
He didn't remember that he had something in the bank, but looking at Lu Yaqi's serious appearance, it shouldn't look like he was bluffing him, so let's go over and take a look.
The Maserati sped all the way until it came to a stop in front of a tall building.
Lu Fan glanced at it, and on the wall of the building, the four gilded characters of "Citibank" were printed in his eyes.
The security guard of the bank originally wanted to stop the car from parking at the door, but when he saw that the license plate of the car was "Jiang A8888", his face suddenly changed, and he swallowed all the words that came to his mouth.
Lu Fan opened the car door and got out of the car, looking at the palatial bank in front of him, nervous and a little unable to take a step.
Lu Yaqi got out of the car from the other side, she walked to Lu Fan's side, and was about to call him in together, when the mobile phone on her body suddenly rang.
She looked down and immediately said, "Lu Fan, I want to answer the phone first and deal with some things." ”
"You take this card in first, the password is the last six digits of the card number, you go to the manager of the VIP room, give him the card and then report the password, and he will take you to get something." ”
Lu Yaqi spoke very quickly, and at the same time took out a black bank card from her handbag and handed it to Lu Fan.
Then she answered the phone and walked briskly to the side.
Lu Fan stood in place with a confused expression.
He opened his mouth to speak, but Lu Yaqi had already stepped aside, looking at her solemn expression, she should be dealing with a tricky matter, so it didn't seem appropriate for him to disturb her now.
Lu Fan stood in place and struggled for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and prepared to enter the bank by himself.
Although I am poor, but I don't do anything wrong, is it necessary to be so timid? Why don't you just go and get something, what is there to be afraid of!
Cheering himself up, Lu Fan walked quickly to the bank.
As soon as he entered it, Lu Fan was immediately stunned by the wide bank lobby in front of him, such a large area, it turned out to be just a lobby, this is too wasteful.
He opened his mouth slightly, looking at the scene in front of him a little overwhelmed.
At this moment, a woman in bank overalls walked up from the side.
She first glanced at Lu Fan, looking at his shabby clothes, she couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
But out of professionalism, she still squeezed out a smile and said: "Hello sir, I am the lobby manager of Citibank Jiangbei Branch, my name is Xiao Qing, is there anything I can serve you?"
Lu Fan quietly glanced at the woman in front of him, and secretly said in his heart that it was worthy of a big bank, and any lobby manager was so beautiful.
He took a deep breath and pretended to be calm, "I'...... I'm going to pick something up. ”
"Take something?" Xiao Qing was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Lu Fan meant.
But then he saw the bank card he was holding in his hand, and suddenly smiled: "You want to withdraw money, then how much do you want to withdraw, if it is less than 100,000, please go to the ATM over there to handle it yourself, if it is higher than 100,000, then please follow me to the counter to handle it." ”
"Withdraw money?"
Lu Fan was a little confused, Lu Yaqi just said that he would take him back what should have belonged to him, but he didn't say whether it was money or not.
So Lu Fan didn't know what to do now.
Fortunately, he suddenly remembered Lu Yaqi's advice, as if he wanted him to find the manager of the VIP room, he looked up and said to the woman in front of him, "I'm sorry, can you take me to the manager of the VIP room?"
"What did you say?"
Xiao Qing frowned slightly, and said incredulously: "You want to find the manager of our VIP room?"
"Yes, what I want to take, I can only take it out if I find him. Lu Fan said in a nervous tone.
Xiao Qing rolled her eyes and said angrily: "I'm sorry sir, not everyone can see the manager of our Citibank VIP room, after all, the manager's time is very precious, he has to receive very important guests, ordinary people, he is not interested in meeting." ”
Hearing this, Lu Fan felt a little unhappy in his heart.
Although he is indeed an ordinary person, he is pointed out by someone like this, and everyone feels a little uncomfortable.
He clenched his fists and decided to take a tougher attitude, so he said, "What I want to take can only be taken out when I see your VIP room manager, please take me to meet him!"
Seeing that Lu Fan was so stubborn, Xiao Qing was even more unhappy.
She simply crossed her arms around her chest, tilted her face to the side, and said impatiently: "I'm sorry, I forgot that our manager is not here today, if you want to see him, come back next time!"
After speaking, Xiao Qing turned around and walked towards the counter.
She had already decided in her heart that this shabby-dressed person was definitely idle and bored to entertain her.
There are many such people in modern society, and she has long been accustomed to it.
Lu Fan saw that Xiao Qing was leaving, and was about to stop her, when the door behind him suddenly opened.
A fat man with a big belly walked in from outside, and beside him stood a very pretty-looking young woman.
Xiao Qing heard the movement, looked back, and immediately showed a flattering smile on her face, "Oh, Mr. Lin, why did you come here today!"
The fat man put his arms around the young woman's waist with one hand, and carried a leather handbag with his nostrils facing the sky, and said proudly: "I'm here to find Manager Wang to do something, is he here?"
"I am here, Manager Wang is making tea in the VIP room, he has already told me that there will be a distinguished guest coming today, but I didn't expect it to be you!"
"Come here now, just in time for the freshly boiled high-quality clear spring, come with me!"
Xiao Qing bent over, looking groveling, and walked towards the VIP room with the fat man.
When Lu Fan saw it, he immediately stepped forward to stop these people and asked, "Didn't you say that the VIP manager was not there? Why was the manager there as soon as he came!"
Xiao Qing saw that Lu Fan dared to stop her, and couldn't help but be angry.
She lowered her voice, gritted her teeth and said: "Okay, do you have a little eyesight, what kind of thing are you, our manager can meet you if you want to?
Lu Fan's expression froze, and he couldn't help but take a step back.
Although Xiao Qing's words were mean, they were not wrong.
He is not a VIP customer of Citibank, and in this case, it is reasonable that other managers will not see him.
The fat man known as Mr. Lin glanced at Lu Fan, and said in a disdainful tone: "Xiaoqing, your bank is also world-famous, why is the threshold getting lower and lower now, even such a poor little cub can come in, and the security guards at the door are all eating dry rice?"
Xiao Qing's expression was embarrassed for a while, and she smiled and said, "I'm sorry Mr. Lin, it is estimated that this kid sneaked in by himself while the security guard didn't find out, I'll take you to the VIP room, and by the way, ask the security guard to kick him out!"
"That's good. Mr. Lin nodded with a satisfied face, and then said, "Let's go quickly, it's late and the tea is cold, and there will be no taste." ”
"Good. Xiao Qing nodded obediently.
Then she led the way for the fat man, and at the same time said into the Bluetooth phone in her ear, in a cold tone: "The security guard outside the door come in! Take the man in a white T-shirt at the door out, he is not a customer of our bank, what is he doing with letting him come in?"
As soon as she finished speaking, her face turned into a flattering smile again, and she said to the fat man, "Mr. Lin, please." ”
Lu Fan looked at the backs of the three of them drifting apart, and felt very aggrieved.
At this time, two bank security guards walked in from outside, and their eyes swept and they immediately locked on Lu Fan, who was closest to them.
Isn't this the boy who came down from that Maserati, who is not a customer of the bank?
The two security guards exchanged a look, both confused, but since it was an order from the lobby manager, they decided to carry it out.
"Boy, go out with us, don't force us to be rough!"
One of the security guards glanced at Lu Fan up and down, and said in a very unhappy tone.
Lu Fan opened his mouth, just about to explain.
Another security guard had already pushed him impatiently and shouted: "Hurry up and get out, what are you rubbing, it's really delaying our work, and when Manager Xiao sees it, we will have to deduct the money!"
Saying that, the two security guards, you and I, I couldn't stand on the stand that pushed Lu Fan, and was directly pushed out of the bank.
Those in the lobby who were waiting to handle business couldn't help but laugh when they saw this scene, and the laughter was full of sarcasm and schadenfreude.
Just when Lu Fan's feet slipped and he almost fell, he suddenly fell into a warm and soft place.
He looked up, but saw Lu Yaqi's pretty face that seemed to have been frozen for thousands of years, and her beautiful eyes were full of fierceness, staring at the two security guards tightly!
