Chapter 238: Going to See the Bank Manager

I looked at Xiao Long and said to Xiao Long, 'Xiao Long, I think this is the way: for now don't talk about breaking up with this girl.'

You can honestly explain your situation to her.

That is your family and work situation; tell it all in detail.

Don't hide anything from the girl.

Then see what reaction the girl has. If the girl proposes to break up with you.

Then you will also have no regrets in your heart.

Everyone's fate has already been exhausted.

If the girl continues to be willing to associate with you,

This shows the girl doesn't care about money and doesn't value anything false.

Then this girl is worth pursuing.

Worth loving.

After hearing my words, Xiao Long didn't speak immediately; he just drove while looking into the distance.

After a while he said, 'Grandpa, I feel you're right. I'll go back and have a good talk with Fang Rui about my current situation. Let everything be left to time.'

I nodded.

I and Xiao Long quickly arrived at the headquarters of Huaihai Bank.

Just before getting out of the car, I simply made up my face: I stuck on a fake beard and wore a pair of reading glasses.

I and Xiao Long arrived at the lobby of Huaihai Bank Headquarters.

The lobby was full of people, all busy taking numbers to withdraw money.

Xiao Long pretended to support me,

then he asked me, 'Grandpa, is this the bank?'

I loudly said, 'It's this bank; they've embezzled all my money.'

Hearing me say that, some people gathered around.

The lobby manager hurried over and said to me and Xiao Long, 'Please, what's the matter?'

I took out my Huaihai Bank card and then raised it, shouting, 'Tell me, why is there no money in my card?'

What on earth is going on? Is it easy for me? I saved some money myself and deposited it all in your Huaihai Bank; yesterday when I tried to withdraw money, I found there wasn't a single cent left.

Your bank is just a swindler.

A big swindler.

The lobby manager, hearing me shout like that, quickly said, 'Grandpa, you can't say that; what on earth is going on,'

we don't know either; how much money do you have in there?

why can't you withdraw it?

I completely ignored the lobby manager and kept shouting,

Huaihai Bank is a swindler; you all, never deposit money there—once you deposit, you can't withdraw.

You must spread the word,

I, an old man, saved over ten thousand yuan, all of which let Huaihai Bank swindle away.

The lobby manager called the security guards,

they wanted to drive me and Xiao Long away.

Xiao Long immediately squared off with the security guards,

and then also shouted loudly,

"You're bullying people too much; my grandpa saved his money with great difficulty, how could you let the bank embezzle it? Why is there not a single cent in my grandpa's account?"

The lobby manager picked up his phone and started making a call.

I and Xiao Long continued to shout loudly in the lobby.

Many people at Huaihai Bank gathered to watch the spectacle.

I thought to myself, the louder the commotion, the better.

I was just waiting for the Bank Manager to come.

Soon a group of people in black suits came down from upstairs,

they surrounded a short, fat middle-aged man whose face was full of flesh.

As soon as I saw the Bank Manager arrive,

I again shouted loudly,

"Huaihai Bank is a big swindler, they stole my money. Huaihai Bank is a big swindler, they stole my money— I can't go on living."

Seeing the chaos in the lobby, the Bank Manager immediately arranged for people to disperse the onlookers.

Then he called me and Xiao Long into the conference room and personally questioned me.

I and Xiao Long entered the conference room,

The Bank Manager looked at me and said, 'Sir, when did you deposit the money, and how much?'

I looked at the Bank Manager and said, 'You're the boss here.'

"Yes, old sir, just tell me what's up and I'll handle it." The Bank Manager's face was full of smiles.

"I dare not speak recklessly; everyone here is your people. If you arrest me, what then?" I said deliberately.

"That won't happen; I'll have my subordinates step aside. I must get to the bottom of your matter. Our bank is not a swindler; how could we cheat you out of your money?"

I snorted and said, 'Whether you swindled or not, you know it in your heart. If you really want me to tell the truth, fine—let's go outside and speak in broad daylight.'

"I, an old man, am not just spouting nonsense. You're the head here—do you dare to go outside with me to reason?"

I deliberately provoked the Bank Manager,

Bank Manager looked at me, and he said: "All right, old man, I can go outside with you to talk; if you fabricate things and insult our bank's reputation, what then?"

I stood up excitedly at this moment.

"If this old man insults your bank's reputation, I will kowtow and apologize at your bank's entrance."

"I will kowtow and confess my guilt to you, the leader."

"The money I deposited in your bank, you can go investigate."

After saying that, I took out my bank card.

At this moment, Bank Manager took the bank card, handed it to the person beside him, and then whispered: "Check the transaction flow, adjust the surveillance."

The person beside him took the bank card and left.

I signaled Xiao Long to go out first.

Xiao Long then hurried out of the conference room, he was going to start the car.

I then took Bank Manager's hand,

and then said: "Come on, leader, let's go outside to talk about this."

Bank Manager laughed and said: "All right, old man, it looks like today you'll have to kowtow and confess."

Bank Manager and I walked out of the bank's entrance.

Bank Manager stood at the doorway and said: "We'll talk here; my subordinates will immediately investigate the matter concerning your bank card."

I then pulled hard on Bank Manager's hand,

"Come on, let's talk on the street."

Bank Manager refused to go,

With a strong pull, I directly dragged him down the bank's steps.

At that moment, Xiao Long drove the car over.

I yanked open the car door.

"Bank Manager, let's talk in the car."

Bank Manager said: "Better to talk outside."

"In the car." After I said that, I turned and lifted Bank Manager up,

then shoved him into the car.

Xiao Long closed the car door.

The bank staff all immediately came over.

They never expected that in broad daylight I would drag Bank Manager into the car.

I then said to Xiao Long,

"Drive fast."

Xiao Long responded with an affirmative,

"All right, grandpa."

Xiao Long then showed off his driving skills, weaving through traffic.

Bank Manager stared blankly,

looking at me, then whispered: "Who are you, what do you want?"

I laughed heartily and spoke in Lanling dialect: "Who I am doesn't matter; I want to say, a few months ago, did you collude to swindle this old man out of fifty million for the house payment?"

"This old man has come today to demand that fifty million."

After hearing my words, Bank Manager broke into a sweat,

nervously said: "Are you, are you Zhao, Zhao Jianqiang? But you don't look like him."

"Take a good look, can you still recognize me, Bank Manager? Tell me what to do about the fifty million." I tore off my beard, took off my glasses, and with my hand directly choked his neck.

Bank Manager stared at me intently, then shouted desperately: "Help! Help! Come save me!"

I laughed and said: "Shout, shout as loud as you can; in this car, even if you shout your throat raw, no one will come to save you. Today I will take your life."

Having said that, I tightened my grip on his neck,

Bank Manager then pleaded,

"Chairman Zhao, you can't come after me for this; I'm really not the mastermind, I'm just an errand runner.

"Chairman Zhao, please spare me; name your terms, how much money you want, I'll agree."
