They said my mom was always looking for me, but couldn't find me anywhere. She suffered from severe depression, and later...later she just couldn't bear such a hopeless life anymore..."The clouds part..."Let's try another one." Pei Xin Winter immediately handed over another card.
This card isn't a supplementary card, it belongs to the company. There's more than enough money in it to buy three necklaces.
The staff member took the card and swiped it again. Then, he shook his head solemnly at Pei Xin Winter: "Sir, it still doesn't work."
"Still no luck" Pei Xin Dong couldn't help but be taken aback.
He had never encountered this situation before, and instinctively felt that someone must be playing a trick on him, trying to embarrass him.
"Is your machine broken How can both cards not work" he snapped at the worker.
"This...this..." The staff member was unsure what to say, afraid of offending such a big customer. "I'm so sorry, let me have someone check this machine right away. How about I get you a different one instead"
Saying that, he beckoned another worker over.
"What kind of service quality is this This is how you treat customers" Pei Xin冬's face was full of dissatisfaction, and she impatiently handed the black card to the cashier. "Swipe it again, don't ruin my card."
"Yes." The staff member nodded, taking his card.
A few seconds later...
"I'm sorry, sir, it's not a machine problem, it's your card. This card should have been frozen." The staff member said.
Frozen
Pei Xindong's face turned green: "Nonsense, who dares to freeze my card!"
He is the eldest son of the Pei family and the sole heir to Hong Fang Group!
Unless the Hongfang Group goes bankrupt, how could his card possibly have a problem
"I'm sorry, sir, it seems your card has been frozen. Would you like to try a different one" the staff member asked.
After finishing his questioning, he added another reminder: “If you can’t pay, the items you bid on won’t belong to you.”
With a grim face, Pei Xindong passed the second card, then the third, and the fourth...
Time passed by every second, all eyes were focused on.
With every card that was passed, Pei Xindong's face grew stiffer. He felt like he had lost all face in his life!
The result was so cruel, none of his cards could cover the payment.
"New Winter, what's going on" Yu Qian asked awkwardly.
She was still waiting to wear that emerald necklace and show it off in front of Yun Qingxi, but unexpectedly, Pei Xindong took the picture of the necklace but couldn't come up with the money. How could she mix with her sisters in the future
"How could I possibly know what's going on" Pei Xindong was furious, yet a deep sense of dread washed over him.
Could it be... that our family is truly bankrupt
Otherwise, how could such a situation occur
He was startled and quickly took out his phone to search for domestic financial news. He didn't find any signs of bankruptcy from Hong Fang Group, and then he let out a long sigh of relief.
Immediately, he was enraged again and directly called his father Pei Hongfang's old assistant.
The old assistant, whose surname is Wang, grew up watching over him.
"Uncle Wang, what's wrong with my card Why has it been suspended" As soon as the phone was answered, he eagerly asked.
"Young Master, here's the situation, Director Pei found out that you embezzled a sum of company funds. In anger, he froze all your cards..." Wang Zhu explained.
Pei Xin Winter：“……”
At this moment, he even had the heart to kill!
Neither morning nor evening did it freeze, how come it has to freeze right when I want to take a picture of this antique necklace
Those who don't know better would think his father is obviously trying to embarrass him!
"Damn old bastard, did I offend him or something" Pei Xindong was furious.
"I'm saying, Young Master, please don't misuse company funds next time. Mr. Pei already gave you a black card that should be enough for your spending," Assistant Wang advised.
"Isn't it boring to just use one card" Pei Xindong didn't think he had done anything wrong. "When the old man dies, won't all his money be mine What's the difference between spending now and spending later..."
"Young Master, you absolutely mustn't say this in front of others!" Assistant Wang hurriedly interrupted him.
“I know, I’m in Europe. Not many people here speak Chinese,” Pei Xindong said nonchalantly. “Wang Bo, you hurry and tell the old man to unfreeze my card right away. I just took a photo of a necklace and was going to send it to my mother. There are so many eyes watching at the auction. If I can’t pay, wouldn't that be a loss of face for the old man”
"Young Master, Mr. Pei is in a bad mood right now, I'm not sure if my words will have any effect..." Assistant Wang said.
Wang Zhuji's heart was also puzzled, not understanding what Pei Hongfang meant.
Everything was fine before, but these days it's been changing all of a sudden, my emotions are so unpredictable.
Assistant Wang even suspected that Pei Hongfang already knew about it...
But that shouldn't be the case, it has been hidden for so many years, how could Pei Hongfang suddenly become suspicious
"Wang Bo, you persuade the old man for me, okay I'm a member of the Pei family! Everyone here knows who I am. If I lose face like this, and it spreads outside the country, how will I ever show my face again" Pei Xindong continued.
"Alright, I'll go tell Mr. Pei..." Wang, the assistant, nodded in response, but he was a little unsure inside, "But it probably won't work now, I have to wait a while, Mr. Pei just decided to hold a press conference at the last minute and is currently meeting with reporters."
"Seeing a reporter What's he suddenly doing seeing reporters" Pei Xin'dong was full of anger. "Forget it, I'll figure out a way myself. After the press conference, you remember to tell him!"
After saying that, he frowned and hung up the phone.
As soon as the phone call ended, Yu Qian immediately came over and said, “Xin Dong, wasn’t that necklace you bought for me How come it became someone else’s parting gift”
"Who are you talking about That's my mother!" Pei Xin Dong snapped.
He liked Yu Qian's beautiful figure, but in his view, Yu Qian was sometimes too petty.
At this time, is that all she cares about
"I don't care, it's what you gave me..." Yu Qian pulled on his arm, afraid he would change his mind.
Pei Xindong angrily shook her off: "You woman, haven't you got any brains Have you never heard of a delaying tactic If I hadn't said that, would my dad have unfrozen my card He needs to know I bought this necklace to give to you. Don't even mention unfreezing the card, he'd twist my head off!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Qian reluctantly agreed: "Then... then alright, I misunderstood."
"Mr. Pei, what method of payment will you be using" The staff member was beginning to lose their patience.
"I... I can just leave the car here for now. My card will be reactivated soon." Pei Xin Dong said.
"I'm sorry, sir, we don't accept any form of collateral," the staff member said.
After saying that, he added seriously: "If you have financial problems and cannot pay within five minutes, this necklace will no longer belong to you."
“You…” Pei Xindong’s voice was choked with anger, “How can you be so stubborn I’m not broke, it’s just that the card malfunctioned! Go check, check who Pei Xindong is! Could I possibly even afford a necklace”nch his ears: "Oh, okay...""I remember Ziyao brother liked fish balls the most, why don't we go to Kanto Nabe and eat fish balls" Ye Ziyan continued, resting her chin."Actually... Mo Shao doesn't like...
