Tang Yan plopped down on the chair, took the hawthorn tea that Ma Kaixuan had just poured in front of him, drank it all in one gulp, threw the cup on the table, and sipped it. He thought the hawthorn tea tasted pretty good, picked up the teapot and poured himself another cup, drank it in one gulp, and then poured himself another cup and continued drinking...
Lu Sinian: “…”
Ma Kaixuan: “…”
This guy not only looked like he had been squeezed dry, but also looked like he hadn't had a drink of water in his entire life. He only drank half of a pot of hawthorn tea.
Isn’t it said that Lu Sinian’s milk tea and hawthorn fruit tea are women’s favorites? When did men also like to drink hawthorn tea?
It was not until Tang Yan drank half a pot of hawthorn tea that he felt alive again. When he looked up, he saw Lu Sinian and Ma Kaixuan staring at him with an expression as if he were a beggar. He couldn't help but said embarrassedly.
"Oh, my luck has been so bad recently. I just received a tip from my subordinates today, saying that the thief who stole my wallet some time ago was caught. As a result, I rushed over eagerly, but came up empty-handed again. Later, based on the clues from my subordinates, I searched outside for a long time and was exhausted. When I returned to the office, I received a call from you two brothers, and rushed over again. I really... don't want to talk."
Having said that, has it roughly explained why he was so tired? Tang Yan simply spread his hands and lay down on the chair, looking limp. Lu Sinian and Ma Kaixuan looked at each other, summarizing Tang Yan's words and figuring out some information from them. Ma Kaixuan slowly spoke.
"So you're so exhausted just chasing that damn thief?"
Tang Yan, slumped in the chair, nodded, not looking too tired to speak, and listened to Ma Kaixuan continue to ask.
"Tang Yan, I'm really confused. How much money did that thief you mentioned steal from you? Is it worth it for you to risk your life to secretly hunt him down? Didn't the police station say they don't suspect the suspect you mentioned? Why are you fighting so hard? Did that thief really get away with half of your wealth?"
Tang Yan's wallet was stolen. He had heard Lu Sinian vaguely mention this matter a few times. He just said that a woman stole his wallet and the two of them went to the police station to report the case. Tang Yan drew a picture of the suspect for the police officers.
Later, this theft also led to a bank theft, but basically no losses were caused. It was just a false alarm. The wallet contained Tang Yan's office key and some money, so it was lost.
For people of their class, losing a few thousand or tens of thousands of dollars is no big deal. They don't rely on those few thousand or tens of thousands of dollars to support their entire family. As for chasing after others and making themselves miserable, there is no need to worry.
As three brothers who grew up together, they are relatively familiar with each other's family conditions. If Tang Yan's family did not have some wealth, he would not have become the bank president at such a young age.
Therefore, people of their generation just need to do their best, because thanks to the efforts of their parents and grandparents, the economic conditions of their family have long surpassed the well-off level and can even be considered wealthy. There is no need for their generation to work hard to support their family. As long as the money they earn can support themselves, that's enough.
Fortunately, the three of them are not the kind of people who just take a fixed salary and wait for death. They are all very good in their own work fields, have flexible minds, and can earn some extra money.
Even though Tang Yan was young and sat in the position of bank president, he would not just stay in his own territory and do his own business. He also did some business with others in private and got a lot of dividends throughout the year. He would not bite the thief to death just for the few thousand or tens of thousands of dollars stolen by him.
Ma Kaixuan couldn't understand why Tang Yan was so persistent. He was determined to find the thief and even made himself look miserable in the pursuit of him. Was it worth it?
Of course, compared to Ma Kaixuan, who was full of doubts, Tang Yan sat up with a furious look on his face. The kindness on his face disappeared, and a cold expression flashed across his face for an instant, and he said coldly.
"You don't understand, don't you? That woman stole more than just my wallet. She also stole my reputation and my self-esteem."
Ever since his wallet was stolen by that damn woman, the bank has been hit by an unprecedented number of burglaries. Although no direct economic losses were caused, his reputation and personal dignity have been trampled upon.
All his colleagues pointed at his back and mocked him.
"See? It was because that guy pretended to put his important keys in his wallet when he went out to buy a midnight snack, and a thief stole them. This is what caused the shocking bank theft in City A. Although it didn't cause any financial losses, it made all the people in City A lose trust in banks. It's really embarrassing for us in the industry!"
"Oh, how irresponsible! One person's negligence has caused the entire banking system to suffer a loss of reputation. It's truly shameful."
Although the laughter of his colleagues was very low, Tang Yan still heard it all. Therefore, every time he thought of this incident, he hated the woman who stole his wallet even more in his heart. He had to bring her to justice to make up for the stain that was deliberately smeared on his glorious journey.
From the loss of his wallet to the theft in the bank, and then to the decline in the bank's credibility, these are the only stains in his glorious life journey, and these stains were all caused by the woman who touched his wallet. How could Tang Yan not hate her, how could he not be obsessed?
Ma Kaixuan, who has always had smooth sailing, would never understand the pain in his heart.
Lu Sinian, who was standing by, probably noticed the depression in Tang Yan's heart. He stretched out his foot and kicked him lightly. Ma Kaixuan, who was about to open his mouth to refute, changed the subject.
"By the way, when we finished our meal and left the New Vision Clothing Store, we forgot to tell Zhang Yaoyao that we should change the flavor of milk tea tomorrow. Let's think about what flavor of milk tea tomorrow will be more suitable for this hot weather."
Tang Yan: “…”
Knowing that he is tired and hungry, I still tell him all this. I don’t even bring him something when other people are eating. Is this what a good brother is?
Tang Yan had heard that the two of them paid their food expenses with Zhang Yaoyao and ate at each other's places. He even knew that all of Lu Sinian's milk tea was purchased from Zhang Yaoyao.
After hearing Lu Sinian's words, Tang Yan, who was hungry and tired, looked even more depressed and said weakly.
