Chapter XVII: Forty million pieces of straw paper
Kong Qide was also stunned when he saw the "check" clearly, and then he burst out laughing, laughing so hard that he was about to break out of breath, and pointed at Ma Lie while laughing and said, "Are you insane?" I've never seen you tease you like this when I'm so big! Young master, I've been fighting with a neurotic for a long time today, haha......"
The financial manager held the tissue check and cried and laughed, Mu Qing'er touched Ma Lie's forehead and said sadly: "Brother, you don't have a fever, right?" Although Song Ning instinctively believed in Ma Lie, he also felt confused, and he couldn't figure out what he wanted to do.
Kong Qide laughed endlessly, and beckoned the VIPs present to come over to watch Ma Lie and the "straw check" he wrote.
Ma Lie was very calm, and said to the financial manager without changing his face: "When the check is written, take it and redeem it!" β
The financial manager smiled dryly and said, "Mr. Ma, I don't see how to redeem your kind of check, why don't you rewrite it?" β
"My handwriting on facial tissues is also money. According to what is written above, go to the Jianshe Road Branch of Heshang Bank to redeem it. Ma Lie's face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he said lightly: "As I said just now, I usually don't care about the accounts, and I don't bother to bring a checkbook on me." Forty million is a small amount of money, just ask my financial secretary to transfer it to you. He waits at the bank and transfers it to you according to this. β
Hearing him say something like that, the financial manager was a little skeptical. Kong Qide laughed and said, "Blow, continue to blow!" The cows are all in the sky! If you can't afford it, quickly spit it out and let it be given to me, don't delay my kung fu, young master! β
Hang Xuezhen never laughed at Ma Lie's "check", but just cast an inquiring glance at him.
Marlie nodded.
Hang Xuezhen smiled slightly, turned to the financial manager and said lightly: "You go and redeem it according to what Mr. Ma said, I will guarantee it." β
With Miss Hang's words, even a piece of butt wiping paper had to be carried for a trip, and the financial manager did not hesitate anymore and went with the strange "check".
Hang Xuezhen got up and went to the bathroom, Ma Lie smiled and said "I'll accompany you" and left with her.
After entering the men's toilet, Ma Lie locked himself in the cubicle, and hurriedly dialed Jiang Shen's phone: "Brother Jiang, I don't have money to pick up girls, I have to borrow some from you urgently!" β
"Didn't you just withdraw four million from the teahouse a few days ago, and it was spent so quickly? If you don't have any money, you can mention it, the casino can have six or seven million dollars a month, which is enough for you to eat Hang Xuezhen and watch movies. At this time, it was still more than ten o'clock in the morning, and Jiang Shen's voice hadn't woken up yet.
Ma Lie said, "It's too late! I want 40 million to buy a gift for Hang Xuezhen, I'm in a hurry! β
"What? 40 million to buy gifts? Jiang Shen's drowsiness woke up immediately, and shouted: "You need 40 million to buy a gift, it's too good to toss, right?" β
Ma Lie urged: "Hurry up! I contribute, you pay, and I'm not just picking up girls for me! β
"Good, good! I'll give it to you tomorrow, make up for sleep first, sleepy. Jiang Shen yawned again.
Ma Lie said, "No, I want it now!" I asked the person who took the money to pick it up at the Jianshe Road branch of Heshang Bank, which should be able to drag on for half an hour. You must send someone to prepare forty million before he arrives, and redeem it to him according to the note I have written. β
"Half an hour?" Jiang Shen roared angrily: "Can you squeak in advance if you have something?" My money is invested, how can I get so much spare money in half an hour? β
Ma Lie said very sincerely: "Brother Jiang, I believe in you, you will definitely be able to do it!" β
β¦β¦
It didn't take long for the financial manager to come back, walk straight up to Ma Lie and bow, and say apologetically: "Mr. Ma, it turns out that you are a real person and a great person. I apologize to you for the offense I just had. β
The huge "check" written on the tissue paper was actually cashed, and many VIPs and celebrities who were waiting to see Ma Lie's ugliness understood it.
The way they looked at Ma Lie was immediately different.
Luxury treasures are given to beauties, a piece of straw paper is 40 million, what kind of strength, what kind of coquettish and bearing?
These celebrities and elites had the heart to accept this extraordinary upstart, and enthusiastically surrounded him to hand him a business card, but they snubbed the original central character Kong Qide.
Ma Lie was not interested in these false courtesies, and Feng Yong called, so he got out of the "siege" by answering the phone.
Feng Yong opened his mouth and asked: "Lie Shao, Jiang Ye hurriedly got 40 million, let me wait at the door of the bank to cash your note, why hasn't the person who took the money yet arrived?" β
Ma Lie was stunned, and suddenly understood what Hang Xuezhen was doing when she went to the bathroom with her just now, it turned out that she was quietly calling here, and she was quietly calling over there, doing the same thing, but it was much more neat than herself.
"Brother Yong, it's hard work. Go back, hurry up next time. β
hung up the phone, turned around and dragged Hang Xuezhen aside, and said with a straight face: "Can I say that I can afford to pay the bills, so I don't like you to pay for me on your own initiative?" β
Hang Xuezhen nodded and said, "I know you can afford it." β
Ma Lie frowned and said, "Then why do you have to pay for me?" β
Hang Xue said seriously: "I'm more convenient than you, who asked you to designate the Heshang Bank under my family's name?" I'll make a phone call and you'll have the tissue you wrote go straight to the counter and redeem it. There are branches in the streets and alleys of Heshang Bank, and you prefer to designate a branch so far away, just to have more time to make money, right? Kong Qide colluded with the financial manager to embarrass you, which is not in accordance with the rules. Then I'll help you cheat to win him, fair and reasonable. β
Hearing that she had more reasons than herself, Ma Lie couldn't help but smile and asked: "After all, he is your fiancΓ©, if I can't pay on the spot, the necklace will belong to him, and I will still wear it on you in the end, the same." β
Hang Xue really tilted her head and thought about it, her dark eyes flashed, and she said seriously: "It's different." He values winning you more than giving me a gift, and you're doing what you promised me by patting the necklace to help me get away from him. β
Ma Lie felt a sense of warmth in his heart, smiled at Hang Xuezhen, and naturally took her hand and said, "Let's go to the exhibition." β
Hang Xuezhen's face was slightly red, but she didn't break free, nodded and whispered, "Okay." β
Ma Lie beckoned Mu Qing'er and Song Ning to visit the jade exhibition with the three beauties.
Song Ning led the way in front, Ma Lie held Hang Xuezhen with his right hand, and Mu Qing'er with his left hand. If the jealous gaze of everyone behind him can kill people, Ma Lie will die a hundred times, and it is enough for a girl with such an identity and appearance as the daughter of the Hang family to be dragged in his hands, and he is actually embarrassed to pull another one with his other hand, and there is another one in front of him.
Of course, Hang Xuezhen herself didn't feel anything, Mu Qing'er saw that the old brother didn't leave her heavy sex and light sister, and she rarely maintained her peace.
didn't take a few steps, Kong Qide suddenly blocked in front of him, and said to Hang Xuezhen: "Xiaozhen, you leave me to accompany outsiders, Old Man Hang will be unhappy if he knows." β
Hang Xue said coldly: "Qide, your momentum and means are not as good as others, and if you lose the bet, you will lose." I accepted the gift from Ma Lie, and today is his female companion, so I should accompany him on a walk. Even my grandfather wouldn't think I was doing something wrong, and if you like to sue, it's up to you. β
Ma Lie mocked and said: "Master Kong, if a man loses, he must admit it, don't regret learning to sue a child." You have to keep a distance of more than ten meters from Xue Zhen today. β
Kong Qide's face quickly turned red and then faded like a brick, and after glaring at Ma Lie for a few seconds, he finally got out of the way.
β¦β¦
The exhibition area of the jade fair expo is quite large, there are hundreds of exhibitors, and all kinds of exhibits are dazzling, and Ma Lie and others are dazzled. Mu Qing'er is still a child, and she is reluctant to put down many exquisite gadgets when she picks them up, and she is so old that Ma Lie dragged her before she can move. Some gadgets are cheap, ranging from tens to hundreds. Mu Qing'er was counting on Ma Lie to help her buy it several times, but she was angry that the old brother who had just spent 40 million yuan didn't give a dime to herself.
Song Ning is a professional in the jade world, acting as a narrator for Ma Lie and Hang Xuezhen along the way, and when he finds a reliable source of interest, he will submit a quotation. She didn't forget that she was the manager of "Liening Jade Shop", of course she had to do some serious things, she couldn't just care about playing like Mu Qing'er, and she couldn't just care about picking up girls like Ma Lie.
Ma Lie himself felt that his serious thing was to pick up girls and accompany beautiful women, which was also the agreement he reached with Jiang Shen.
After two hours of sightseeing, Ma Lie and the three beauties finally finished shopping in the finished product exhibition area and arrived at the jade wool exhibition area located at the back of the venue. The wool exhibition area is actually a huge warehouse, which is full of large and small wool stones, all of which are transported from Yunnan and Myanmar and other places.
Kong Qide happened to be here, and he was picking stones and opening stones there, that is, "gambling stones", betting on eyesight and luck.
In addition to Song Ning, Ma Lie, Hang Xuezhen and Mu Qing'er didn't know about the gambling stone, and they watched curiously from behind.
Kong Qide had the intention to show his skills in front of Ma Lie and Hang Xuezhen, and picked five valuable ingredients in one go. After cutting, only two pieces fell short, and the other three pieces all produced jadeite in good condition, which was a small profit.
The other onlookers exclaimed: "Young Master Kong has good eyesight, and he deserves to be from a family!" β
These praises are not sycophants, although Kong Qide is a young master of a family born with a golden key, he is not a fool who does not learn and cannot do anything. The Kong family is the overlord of the mining industry, including jewelry and jade, and he Kong Qide can identify hundreds of kinds of ores since he was ten years old, and he has an unparalleled family heritage in this industry.
Kong Qide glanced back at Ma Lie with a triumphant face, and said defiantly: "Ma Lie, why don't you come and play a few games and see which of us has good eyesight?" β
Ma Lie said: "Okay, but it's more boring than dry, how about we have some color?" Your family is a generation of land plowing, specializing in drumming stones and soil to eat mixed rice, presumably because of the family history and some real skills, you will not be afraid of losing, right? β
Kong Qide was annoyed to find that the other party was very good at saying an otherwise glorious thing very badly, and said with a light smile: "Don't be poor, you can gamble whatever you want." I've been gambling since I was 12 years old, and I've never lost in the past few years. I'll tell you first, so that others don't think I'm bullying. β
Ma Lie smiled and said, "Since you are so confident, let's make a big bet." If you lose, break off the engagement with Hang Xuezhen! β
As soon as he heard this, Kong Qide's face immediately changed greatly, and he said coldly: "Our prodigal children are jealous, and it doesn't matter if you fight and bet, but if you die, you will die!" Your words have spread out, and if I don't say anything about the reaction in my family, Old Man Hang alone will be the first to kill you. I will also suffer with it, and you are not afraid of me! I advise you not to have this dream as soon as possible, if you really want to dissolve the marriage contract, not only my Kong family and Hang family, but also the Jiang family, the Gu family, the Lu family and the Zhou family will also intervene. No matter how awesome you are, can you still afford to stop the six families from messing with you together? β
Ma Lie felt that Hang Xue Zhen pinched her hand, and turned her head to find that her face was very strange, obviously disapproving. Recalling the tragic experience of Jiang Shen's mother, he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, and understood that he was thinking too much about the six great families. The idea of winning a bet and breaking the marriage is too rash. This is not something that he is currently capable of interfering in, and it is not even something that the Kong and Hang families can decide alone, because this is related to the internal balance between the six great families.
But as long as Hang Xue's heart is really still on his side, he will dig over the six mountains sooner or later.
After thinking about this, Ma Lie changed his tone and said with a smile: "Then let's continue to fight for idleness, what if we can't get along with money?" β
Kong Qide smiled and said, "Okay, that's what I mean, young master." β
Ma Lie smiled and said: "Let's pick five pieces of ingredients and cut them, I will buy what you cut out, and you can buy what I cut out, but it will be ten times the market price." β
"Okay, this is a new way to play!" Kong Qide didn't care, "You pick first, lest others say that I am a bully." β
Ma Lie smiled and said, "It's better for you first, I don't want others to say that I'm bullying the veteran." β
