Chapter 104 The Auntie is Here

The people who came with him burst into laughter.

The sarcastic remark was, "There'd be no way they'd come..."

That sarcastic voice said, "I don't know what tricks you used to deceive that old lady, getting her to spend so much money to help you meet your targets. You think she'll help you again? Dream on!"

"Auntie said she'll come again; she always keeps her word!" The little girl's face flushed red with anger, her cheeks puffed out, as she glared at the several grinning troublemakers.

"Hahaha, come on, with her shabby appearance, she must have emptied her pockets buying those things you had first. And she wants to come a second time? In broad daylight, how much has she drunk to dare to talk such nonsense?!" one person laughed loudly.

The other person snorted, his eyes full of mockery and disdain, and said, "That old lady's accent makes it clear she's not from around here. Without her backing you up, let's see how you meet your targets this time."

"This is hilarious! She's coming again? How much wealth does she have? She's just throwing it all down the drain. Her husband would beat her to death!"

"Last time you caused us to be scolded to our faces, this time it's your turn to be criticized for failing to meet the targets."

After saying that, he spat at Lao Tao and the others, "Serves you right for stealing our customers! Let's see if you dare to go against our manager again."

The man looked at Lao Tao with a smug expression.

He said, "At the report meeting next month, I'll be waiting to see you and your bank make a fool of yourselves."

Old Tao's expression remained calm as he looked at the man.

Instead, the young girl beside her was furious. She stomped her foot and pointed at the man, starting to curse, "You're unreasonable and shameless! Why are you bullying our Manager Tao like this? Why are you making things difficult for our bank?... It's clearly because you look down on Auntie and don't want to entertain her. You look down on her because she's dressed simply and think she's poor, that she can't afford government vouchers. She only came to your place for two pastries, so you dumped her on our Manager Tao, wanting to see Manager Tao and her make a fool of themselves!"

The little girl finished speaking in one breath, took two deep breaths, and, gathering her emotions, howled like a small, ferocious beast, "And yet! You look down on them, but they all managed to live up to expectations! Auntie can afford government vouchers! Not only can she afford them, but she bought a ton, a ton! You're jealous and want to take them, but Auntie doesn't want you, she doesn't want any of you! You got scolded for not meeting your quotas, that's your own fault, you deserve it! You deserve it, do you hear me?"

The man was stunned for a moment, then instantly became furious!

He said, "We don't want you, and it's not your place to come to our bank's door and steal our customers. You were the ones who were ruthless first, so how dare you accuse us of being unjust?!"

The people behind him echoed, "That's right! You saw us make a fool of ourselves at the conference, why can't we make you lose face? Who told you to shamelessly steal our clients?!"

"...Do you have the ability to call people over to continue buying your bank's government bonds?"

"They can't get any willing elderly women to come; they'll get a severe scolding from above..."

The group burst into laughter again.

The little girl's eyes reddened with anger, and they quickly filled with tears, making her eyes watery.

The onlookers were buzzing with discussion.

"Oh dear, how dare anyone buy government vouchers? Such a huge sum of money for a pile of worthless paper..."

"Exactly, we should be thankful that they're not coming to ask for it back. Where are we going to find the money to buy more coupons?"

"...Nobody's money grows on trees, it's really a sin."

Hearing this, the man felt confident that he had secured the deal. He began to imagine Lao Tao being called up at the meeting, being criticized and berated in front of so many bank colleagues, and how embarrassed and humiliated he would be.

Old Tao sighed softly and shook his head slightly as he looked at the man.

"As the head of this department, don't you feel ashamed at all for doing such a childish thing? You can badmouth me in front of the leaders, are you so sure I won't do the same to you?"

The man's expression changed slightly, and he asked Lao Tao, "What do you mean by that?"

"Look at the people around us, so many eyes are watching. If I just mention it, the leader will know that those words you said praising my abilities weren't sincere praise at all, but rather a trap to frame me. Do you think the leader is a three-year-old? That you can easily fool him?"

Seeing the man's face gradually turn ashen, Old Tao shook his head again, "Such a simple principle, do you need someone to teach you? How did you become a bank manager?"

"Shut up!"

The smugness on the man's face completely vanished. He gritted his teeth, glared at Lao Tao, and said in a fierce but weak voice, "You guys stole my big client and prevented me from completing my task. We were only 30,000 short. Do you know how I've been these past few days?"

He pointed at Lao Tao, grinding his teeth, "You bullied me and I'm not allowed to fight back? Is it a case of 'the magistrate is allowed to set fires, but the common people are forbidden to light lamps'?"

Old Tao frowned slightly as he looked at him.

"You're acting too impulsively. I'm not going to argue with you. Xiao Zhu, you guys, go back."

He then waved to the onlookers, "Everyone, please disperse. The government vouchers are encouraged by the government and are for the benefit of ordinary people, not a way to make money..."

Someone muttered, "That sounds nice, they said the same thing last time, and what happened? Everything went wrong, and all the money went down the drain..."

“My family doesn’t have the money to go through this anymore. Let the rich people do it.”

Li Banxia, ​​hidden in the crowd, heard these questions and, after thinking for a moment, added, "I heard that these government bonds can be resold to make a profit..."

"Oh dear, young lady, you can't believe that. Some people are just saying that on purpose. If they didn't say that, no one would buy..."

Li Banxia smiled and didn't press the matter further.

Over there, Lao Tao wanted to take his men back to the bank, but the man stopped them from leaving.

"Where are you going? We haven't finished talking, you're not allowed to leave!"

Others also tried to stop Xiao Zhu and her colleague, pulling and tugging at them. Someone must have used too much force, because the girl was pushed and screamed as she fell to the ground.

"ah!"

Old Tao saw this and reached out to help the man, but the man grabbed his arm and demanded angrily, "Why are you trying to cause me trouble? You stole my big client first, you..."

Li Banxia frowned, took a few steps over, grabbed the little girl's hand that was flailing wildly in an attempt to get some leverage, and forcefully pulled her up.

The little girl bumped straight into Li Banxia's arms, hitting her nose and letting out a muffled groan of pain.

"Thanks……"

The little girl covered her nose, her eyes were red, and her eye sockets were still brimming with tears. When she looked up, she saw a familiar face and thought she was hallucinating.

She quickly wiped away her tears and looked closely.

"Ah! Ah..."

She jumped out of Li Banxia's arms happily, hugging Li Banxia and bouncing a couple of times, "Auntie, Auntie!"

While howling, it didn't forget to turn its head and look for Lao Tao.

"Auntie...Manager Tao, my auntie's here! My auntie's here again! Waaah ┭┮﹏┭┮"

The noisy scene froze in an instant.

Someone yelled as if they'd seen a ghost, "That old lady is here again!"
