Chapter 106 My Money, My Rules
“Yes! Change them all!” Li Banxia smiled faintly.
Old Tao, however, was horrified.
"I'll help you with the rest after I get back and sort things out."
The young woman was overjoyed, her eyes practically popping out of her head. She grabbed Lao Tao's hand and shook it vigorously, saying, "That's wonderful! Manager Tao, you don't have to worry about being criticized by the boss at the next meeting."
Old Tao, however, was not overwhelmed by such a huge surprise.
He took a breath and looked at Li Banxia, "Sister Li, it's already very good that you can help us with 70-80% of it. Your family needs the money right now. As for the rest... we'll figure it out ourselves. We won't trouble you."
Li Banxia, "..."
No, she didn't find it troublesome at all, really.
She had suffered enough hardship in her past life to earn money, and in this life she truly loves the joy of making money by benefiting from national dividends.
Li Banxia also tried to persuade Lao Tao a few times, attempting to change his mind.
He felt that selling her the coupons was making trouble for her, but in fact, he was giving her money.
Old Tao... doesn't believe it.
They insisted, "Sister Li has already helped us a lot. We'll figure out the rest ourselves. We can do it..."
Li Banxia, "..."
As a result, after calculating the bill, Li Banxia brought 79,000 coins. Based on the previous price of 88 coins per coin, he could buy 898 coins, so he left a little over 100 coins for them.
Old Tao's face felt a little hot. He didn't need to think of any other way; he could sell a hundred of them no matter what.
Old Tao looked up and forced an awkward but polite smile.
"Sister Li, shall I replace them all for you?"
Seeing that he was making conversation, Li Banxia chuckled, "Manager Tao, we've dealt with each other a few times already. Don't you trust me?"
"No, no, I believe you. Sister Li is a woman of her word," Old Tao said with a smile.
"Okay, since you trust me, I'll take all these vouchers from your bank and transfer the money to you in the next day or two. I won't have to make another trip. What do you think?"
Old Tao was taken aback for a moment, then subconsciously asked, "You want to cover everything? That's so much money, don't you need to discuss it with your family? Will your husband agree?"
When Li Banxia mentioned her family, her face was still full of smiles, but when she talked about her child's father, her eyes turned cold in an instant.
He gave a weak, unsatisfying twitch at the corner of his mouth. "I earned this money myself, and I don't need to ask anyone how I should use it."
As soon as he put on his "my money, my rules" act, Lao Tao immediately realized that he was being too forward with someone he barely knew.
She hurriedly apologized, saying, "Sister, please don't misunderstand. I didn't mean anything by it. I just felt that with so much money invested, what if..."
Li Banxia hummed in agreement.
"It's alright, I know what you mean. I've already assessed it beforehand. This voucher is issued by the government. Although it can only be redeemed after holding it for three years, the annual return of 10% is still quite considerable."
Li Banxia looked at Lao Tao, then at Xiao Zhu, and smiled, "Whether you hold onto them or resell them, you won't lose money. If you have spare cash, you can buy some."
Xiao Zhu waved her hand, "I can't save money. My monthly salary is barely enough to get by, let alone buy this."
This will take another three years, which is too long.
Having said that, Lao Tao naturally understood what Li Banxia meant.
He smiled and told Xiao Zhu to inform his colleagues, "...Stop counting, just bring them all over."
After saying that, he glanced at Li Banxia's tattered bag and added, "Bring me a tote bag too."
Upon hearing his words, Li Banxia's eyes lit up slightly, but then returned to calm the next second.
Xiao Zhu smiled and left the reception room.
Li Banxia nodded to Lao Tao, "Once I get to Shanghai, I'll wire you the money by tomorrow at the latest. Give me an account number... Or, can one of you come with me to Shanghai to collect the money?"
"No need, I'm telling the truth when I say I trust my older sister."
While the two were talking, two or three bank employees came in and neatly arranged the national banknotes next to the pile of money. At a glance, it was all in the shape of money, which was quite a sight.
Xiao Zhu handed Li Banxia a brand-new bank briefcase with their bank's name and logo on it.
Li Banxia refused and patted her tattered cloth bag.
"This is safer."
Xiao Zhu froze, then turned to look at Lao Tao.
Old Tao was also taken aback for a moment, and then, looking at Li Banxia's clothes and appearance, he suddenly realized what was going on.
That's true.
Who would guess that this simply dressed woman carried a tattered cloth bag containing items worth tens of thousands of yuan?!
Although he doesn't judge people by their appearance, but...
He really couldn't imagine what the 100,000 yuan had to do with the tattered rag bag.
Li Banxia counted out the government bonds, put them into her tattered bag, left the hotel's phone number with Lao Tao, and prepared to leave the bank to take a taxi to the train station.
Old Tao stared at her tattered bag, making sure she was going straight to the train station. He frowned and said, "I'll take you there."
It's better to be safe than sorry.
He hailed a taxi and took her directly there. He only breathed a sigh of relief and left after watching Li Banxia safely enter the station.
When she returned to the bank, the man blocked her way.
He launched into a barrage of sarcastic remarks, "Hey Tao, I've heard about it all. How dare you! You actually dared to give that woman all the government coupons on credit. Do you really think she'll transfer the money to you?"
"Who told you that?"
Old Tao paused, frowning as he looked at him.
The man chuckled smugly and glanced at the employee standing at the bank entrance who looked like he had done something wrong.
"That much money, even if you sold yourself, you couldn't afford to pay it back. Let's see how you explain this to your superiors!"
Old Tao really didn't want to deal with this kind of person. He usually looks respectable, but when something happens, he turns out like this!
"You are you and she is she. Don't assume everyone is like you just because you think you are. I trust Sister Li's character. You don't need to sow discord here. Instead of wasting your time, you should think of a way to get rid of that 50,000 from your bank as soon as possible. Don't wait until the big meeting and still have some unsold stock left. Otherwise, the leaders will start to doubt your abilities."
Having said that, he gave him no chance to argue, stepped up the stairs, and called his men into the bank.
He gestured for the security guards to stand guard at the entrance before speaking to the several employees who had their heads down.
"What happened?"
Xiao Zhu looked guilty and said, "We had just chased after her to see her off, but when we came back, they overheard us talking about her running up debts."
The other colleagues nodded in agreement.
"I'm sorry, Manager Tao."
"Manager Tao, I'm sorry, we shouldn't have said those things."
A colleague muttered under his breath, "This person is so petty. He was the one who refused to give the job to us, and now he's pulling this disgusting stunt..."
Old Tao frowned, glanced around at them, and sighed softly.
Several colleagues looked at Xiao Zhu. Xiao Zhu swallowed hard and asked Lao Tao worriedly, "Manager Tao, what if he tells the leaders about the credit?"
