Chapter 58: You Apologize, So I Have to Forgive You?
The manager's face twitched, his expression shifting between pale and flushed.
A vein throbbed on his forehead. He wanted to yell back, but for the sake of the tens of thousands of yuan in national bonds in the bank, he swallowed hard and comforted himself, thinking of it as a sacrifice for performance.
He forced a smile and said dryly, "Ha, ha, big sister, you're really good at joking."
"joke?"
Li Banxia shook her head. "I'm not joking with you. You judge people by their appearance and clothing, and you just dumped me like that. Now that you see I'm really rich, you don't even apologize and you expect me to come back? What are you thinking?"
"Yes, yes, it was our fault."
Upon hearing Li Banxia's words, the manager felt there was hope, and his smile became more genuine. "On behalf of the female colleagues in our bank, I sincerely apologize to you, sir. I'm sorry."
Li Banxia hummed in agreement.
"...Haha, my elder sister is clearly a magnanimous and forgiving person. She certainly won't stoop to the level of us little people..."
"No."
Li Banxia shook her head, looked up at the manager, and said, "I will care."
The manager was momentarily stunned and uttered a bewildered "Ah."
After realizing what Li Banxia meant, she visibly became angry. "Are you playing me? You don't intend to forgive me, so why are you making me apologize to you like a doormat?"
"You think I should forgive you just because you apologize? Are you robbers?" Li Banxia looked at him.
The manager gritted his teeth and glared at Li Banxia, "You did this on purpose."
"When you humiliated me, were you doing it on purpose?" Li Banxia retorted.
The manager is furious.
They did it on purpose, of course!
But who would have thought that a middle-aged woman dressed like that, carrying a tattered cloth bag, would actually have 10,000 yuan in cash inside?!
If they had known earlier, how could they have done it!
hateful!
This older woman just wouldn't let go of that one point.
what to do? !
The manager was both anxious and angry. Seeing Lao Tao glaring at him, he became even angrier. People were giving them money willingly, and those brainless women were trying to kick them out based on their clothes.
If they hadn't misled him, why would he have handed that person over to that old fox surnamed Tao?!
The manager frowned, his mind racing, trying to figure out how to get the ten thousand yuan back.
He noticed the round-faced girl next to him and gave her a wink.
The round-faced girl looked embarrassed. Receiving the manager's signal, she didn't dare to move. She felt it was a bit unfair to try and steal people while looking at the money.
Besides, this woman clearly didn't want to go back to their bank.
She shook her head at the manager, as if to say, "Forget it."
The manager didn't want to settle it anymore.
Feeling humiliated, he lowered his posture and smiled apologetically, "Sister, it's all a misunderstanding. How about this, you come back with me, and I'll make them apologize to you in person! We have some gifts there. Didn't you want some pastries? I'll give you double! How about that?"
Li Banxia glanced at him and shook her head with amusement.
"Leave it to people who love pastries; I don't need it."
She turned to look at Lao Tao, who immediately understood, stood up with a smile, and went to pull the manager away.
"The older sister said she doesn't need it. I have to entertain VIPs, so it's not convenient for you to stay. Please leave now."
While speaking, they pulled, dragged, and pushed each other outwards.
The manager clung to the door, refusing to leave. "Ma'am, three portions, four portions, you can have them all. I'll give you the lowest price. If you buy 10,000 yuan worth, I'll give you 98 yuan per piece. You can ask around; our price is the lowest in Jinzhou..."
How could you be like this!
Hearing his shouts, the little girl ran over and snapped at him, "The auntie already said she won't buy from you anymore. You couldn't even keep your customers, and now you're all excited because you see the auntie has money? What kind of person are you!"
The round-faced girl stood to the side, awkwardly tugging at the corners of her mouth, and gave the little girl an apologetic smile.
She had already said that the older woman was there for the government vouchers, but a lot of people didn't believe her and kept saying nasty things to drive her away.
Now they're pulling this stunt again.
Why didn't you do this sooner?
"Security! Security!"
The little girl put her hands on her hips and shouted at the two burly men at the door, "Someone's causing trouble! Get them out of here right now!"
The burly man rushed in, took over, and dragged the manager outside.
The manager, his feet barely touching the ground, kicked and thrashed comically, yelling at Lao Tao, "You, surnamed Tao, you stole my clients! This isn't over! I'm going to report you to my superiors!"
Old Tao waved his hand, and the big man threw the man out.
The round-faced girl apologized to Li Banxia, nodded slightly to Lao Tao and the young girl, and hurriedly walked out.
The manager spat outside, "It's just ten thousand yuan, right? We can just find a few more people to cover it. But you guys... if I see any of your people waiting outside our bank again, I'll make sure you get what's coming to you!"
After saying that, he rode away on his bike with a cold face.
The round-faced girl quickly got on her bike and followed.
In the conference room, upon hearing the manager's threat, Lao Tao frowned.
The little girl snorted, "We didn't run into your bank to rob anyone, and the main road outside isn't your property!"
"Little Zhu!"
Old Tao called out to the young girl, smiled at Li Banxia, and asked, "Are you sure you want all ten thousand yuan in hundred-yuan bills?"
Li Banxia nodded.
"Regarding the price..."
Old Tao understood and smiled, gesturing for them to sit down. Only after they were both seated did Old Tao explain the price reduction their bank was offering on national bonds.
"To be honest, our internal discount model is progressive. For example, if you accumulate 1,000 yuan, you get a 2 yuan discount for every 100 yuan; if you accumulate 5,000 yuan, you get a 4 yuan discount for every 100 yuan; if you accumulate 10,000 yuan, you get a 9 yuan discount; and if you accumulate 20,000 yuan, you get a 12 yuan discount..."
"etc!"
Li Banxia slightly opened her eyes and looked at Lao Tao, "Accumulate 20,000, and get a 12 yuan discount for every 100 yuan?!"
"Yes, this is the limit of what we can offer."
Old Tao subconsciously rubbed his hands together, looking nervously at Li Banxia, whose brows were furrowed.
The little girl stared straight at Li Banxia.
"Auntie, we..."
Old Tao shook his head at the little girl.
Li Banxia sighed, somewhat annoyed, and mumbled calculations under her breath, "So, 20,000 yuan is 2,400 yuan less than the face value, 10,000 yuan for one ticket is 900 yuan less, and buying two separately would only be 1,800 yuan, which is 600 yuan less!"
As he calculated, he hissed in pain.
"...If I had known, I should have sold them all and just bought the ones worth 20,000. I've lost too much money this time..."
Old Tao was overjoyed at Li Banxia's mutterings.
She was grinning from ear to ear, saying, "It's alright, it's alright. As long as you buy another 10,000 yuan worth of things this month, we'll calculate it as 20,000 yuan and make up the difference next time!"
Li Banxia was delighted upon hearing this.
Isn't this like a pillow being delivered to someone who's about to fall asleep?
"Okay, I'll buy 10,000 first, and then come back to buy another 10,000 in the next day or the day after."
"Okay, okay, quick, Xiao Zhu, go and urge them to get it done as soon as possible." Old Tao's crow's feet at the corners of his eyes blossomed with joy.
