Free Web NovelChapter 167: Chapter 167: Attitudes Change in Succession _1
The spacious sales center had become deathly quiet, so silent that you could hear a pin drop, with everyone’s gaze converging on Ye Ming.
The ’beep’ signified something that all present understood very well—it was the sound of a successful card transaction.
Three hundred million had just been swiped away.
Nobody had anticipated that this seemingly ordinary bank card would actually have a credit limit of three hundred million, and what was even more unexpected was that Ye Ming’s facial expression remained unchanged while spending that enormous amount, not even a furrow in his brow.
Sun Miaomiao’s eyes bulged, her mouth agape wide enough to fit an apple.
It was three hundred million, so casually swiped, feeling so unreal. The entire transaction process seemed as nonchalant as if Ye Ming were buying a bottle of milk.
The sales manager was petrified on the spot, her expression changing multiple times, before she finally managed to squeeze out a smile uglier than crying, and reverentially returned the card to Ye Ming.
"Mr. Ye, I was offensive just now, please forgive me!"
"How about next, I show you the houses? If there’s anything that needs to be changed, you can mention it anytime!" fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
Her attitude did a complete one-eighty, becoming warm and friendly. While speaking, she bowed slightly, exceedingly polite. Had it not been for her earlier aggressive side, one might have mistaken her for a gentle-tempered woman.
Seeing that Ye Ming paid no attention to her, the sales manager even found a way to save face for herself, quickly grabbing Sun Miaomiao and saying in a reproachful tone, "Miaomiao, that’s really not nice of you. With such an impressive boyfriend, why didn’t you tell us earlier? You almost made me offend him!" fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
"But, landing this big deal is largely due to my efforts. With your boyfriend being so wealthy, you won’t be fighting over this little commission with me now, will you?"
"Of course, as a reward, I’ll help you get a permanent position, and the sales crown for this month is yours too."
The manager’s little schemes were utterly transparent, making even Ye Ming a bit nauseated.
Just moments ago, she had called Ye Ming a country bumpkin from the backwoods and had looked down on both Ye Ming and Sun Miaomiao. Now she was fawning over them and even planning to have Sun Miaomiao forfeit her commission to her.
The phrase "shameless to the extreme" seemed to have been coined to describe her behavior.
Sun Miaomiao was still in disbelief, completely at a loss for words.
She could never have imagined that Ye Ming actually had the means to afford such a luxurious mansion worth three hundred million.
"I knew it, Sun Miaomiao’s boyfriend really seems like a discreet person, not one to flaunt his wealth. We almost misunderstood him," said Zhang Li, who had previously mocked Sun Miaomiao, now eagerly approaching, her attitude a complete reversal from before, lavishing praise on both Sun Miaomiao and Ye Ming.
Sun Miaomiao blushed, frantically waving her hands, "You’ve got it wrong, he’s not my boyfriend, we..."
Before Sun Miaomiao could finish her words, Zhang Li got even more excited: "What? He’s not your boyfriend yet?"
"Miaomiao, that’s where you are wrong. Such a good man is right beside you, and yet you don’t cherish him. If someone else snatches him away, you’ll have nowhere to cry!"
Her hypocritical face was nauseating, making Sun Miaomiao involuntarily furrow her brows.
While everyone was still marveling, Director Zhang, who lay on the ground looking disheveled, suddenly stood up.
Brushing off the dust from his clothes, a venomous look appeared on his face as he pointed at Ye Ming and said, "Don’t get too excited just yet. Does he look like someone who can come up with three hundred million?"
"Even if he did bring it out, how did he earn it? You all need to seriously think about this question."
"Is such an obvious issue even something I need to elaborate on? Moreover, if something happens, you won’t be able to escape responsibility!"
Director Zhang’s words knocked everyone back to reality. The question was indeed terrifying.
The sales manager was also sweating bullets. Previously blinded by money, after hearing Director Zhang’s reminder, she also realized the gravity of the issue.
All of this lacked reasonability. How could someone like Ye Ming casually come up with three hundred million?
And spend it without a hint of reluctance?
This suggested a high probability that the money was not obtained legally.
"Director Zhang, I’m really grateful for your reminder. Otherwise, we would have been tricked by him!" The smile vanished from the sales manager’s face, and she swiftly made a gesture to summon two security guards to the door.
"Keep him under control, don’t let him escape. I’m going to call the police right now!"
Ye Ming stood there undisturbed as two security guards, acting like mad dogs, pounced towards him; he waved his hand and effortlessly sent them flying.
"Are you idiots? He made baseless accusations, and you believed him?" Ye Ming said, irritated.
Director Zhang, having scrambled back to his feet, was prepared for all of this, with a complete set of excuses in his mind.
He pointed at the card in Ye Ming’s hand and said, "Three hundred million in savings, how could it possibly be in such an ordinary bank card?"
"For a high-profile client like you, which bank would treat you so poorly? You should have at least been offered a gold-plated card; this is evidence!"
Director Zhang spoke righteously, "In my opinion, the money in this card is definitely not clean, and that’s why you dare not let anyone know, right?"
After Director Zhang’s persuasive talk, both the sales manager and Zhang Li began to ponder in that direction.
He made sense, indeed. The card Ye Ming produced was very ordinary, even stained with oil; it was inconceivable that such a card would have a three hundred million balance.
This indirectly proved that Ye Ming was intentional in his actions, wishing to hide something.
A strong sense of justice swelled within the sales manager’s heart. She rushed forward, snatched the card from Ye Ming’s hand, and addressed him, "Fighting crime is everyone’s responsibility. I absolutely cannot let a swindler like you roam free! The payment records and this card in my hand are the evidence!"
"Don’t you move, the patrol is on its way!"
No sooner had her words ended than the roar of an engine sounded outside the sales center.
Sun Miaomiao’s face displayed utter astonishment; she could not believe the situation was unfolding this way, nor could she imagine the patrol arriving so swiftly.
"Brother Ming, you should leave quickly! I believe you haven’t committed any crime; they are deliberately framing you. If you stay here, things will become more complicated," Sun Miaomiao made the choice she believed to be right in the critical moment.
Everyone was stunned by Sun Miaomiao’s actions.
