Chapter 243 The Unreadable Purple Gold Card
Chapter 243 The Unreadable Purple Gold Card
"One hundred million is a small amount of money?" Wu Tao couldn't help but burst into a sharp laugh, as if he had heard the most absurd joke in the world.
In the entire Western District, who has the audacity to say such a thing? Even the richest man in the Western District probably wouldn't dare to utter such arrogant words.
"Since you say it's a small amount of money, then Mr. Xiao, please take it out immediately," Wu Tao said coldly, his smile fading.
"Wu Tao, Xiao Chen was just joking, don't take it to heart. This contract... do you think we can make an exception?" Zhen Suxin said anxiously.
"Suxin, I'm really sorry, but this contract is in black and white and has a fingerprint on it, so it has legal effect. There's nothing I can do about it." Wu Tao pretended to be in a difficult position and said helplessly, "If you want to blame someone, you can only blame Mr. Xiao for being too impulsive. He signed a contract worth 100 million without even blinking an eye."
Zhen Suxin and Liu Yue's expressions instantly turned extremely anxious.
“I’ve already said, one hundred million is nothing to me.” Xiao Chen said calmly and firmly. “I can pay by card right now, I’m just worried that your card machine here won’t accept it.”
"Hehe, Mr. Xiao, you must be joking." Wu Tao replied with a forced smile. "We are equipped with the most advanced card readers here, which not only support all banks in China, but also major banks abroad. As long as you have money in your card, there is absolutely no problem with it not working."
After saying that, he ordered his men to bring a card reader.
“Please, Mr. Xiao.” Wu Tao gestured for him to proceed, his eyes full of provocation.
Xiao Chen smiled lightly and calmly reached into his pocket to pull out a card. It was a purple-gold card with unique lettering and markings, the logo of Worldwide Bank, one of the world's largest banks.
Wu Tao's face froze the moment the card appeared.
"I've seen a lot, and I've seen all kinds of bank cards from Global Bank, but I've never seen a purple-gold card as luxurious and unique as Mr. Xiao's before." Wu Tao sneered, convinced that Xiao Chen was putting on an act and trying to fool him.
"The fact that you haven't seen it only means you're not qualified enough," Xiao Chen said calmly, his tone carrying a hint of disdain.
"Isn't it supposed to be that any card can be used? Let's give it a try."
Wu Tao frowned, his face dark, and gestured for the female salesperson to swipe the card.
"Ding... Unable to read amount..." The card reader emitted this prompt, and everyone was stunned.
This is the first time such a situation has occurred. This card reader is a specially authorized and customized smart model that can process amounts up to ten digits. What kind of amount would it fail to read?
“Our card reader is specially made, how could it not read the amount? Could there be hundreds of billions in this card?” the saleswoman said, her face full of shock.
"Try again," Wu Tao said with a stern face.
The female saleswoman operated the card reader again.
"Ding, unable to read amount..."
"Ding, unable to read amount, please upgrade..."
I tried it several times, and the results were all about the same.
"I told you long ago, your card reader won't work." Xiao Chen's lips curled into a mocking smile.
"Try again!" Wu Tao's voice grew colder and sharper, revealing an undeniable ruthlessness.
The saleswoman had no choice but to try again.
"boom!"
No one expected that the specially customized card reader would suddenly start smoking, and then explode with a "bang".
Wu Tao's expression froze instantly, and his face turned extremely ugly.
"This is definitely a fake Global Bank card!" he insisted. "How could a Global Bank card not be swiped? I've never heard of a Global card that can't read the amount!"
"With your limited perspective, that's all you can say," Xiao Chen said with a look of disdain.
This purple-gold card was given to him by his master.
This card was custom-made exclusively for my master by Global Bank; it's the only one of its kind in the world. The amount in the card is astronomical; the card reader could swipe it several times in a row before it maxed out, which is quite impressive. My master also instructed that this gold card cannot be used directly; it requires certain procedures.
"Are you trying to cause trouble at my Xijiang Huafu sales office?" Wu Tao completely lost his temper and shouted angrily, "If you don't hand over 100 million today, don't even think about leaving here!"
Xiao Chen's expression instantly turned cold.
"You said you could swipe any card, but now that it's not working, you're blaming me?" Xiao Chen questioned bluntly.
Wu Tao's face was so gloomy that it looked like a storm was about to break out.
"Go get another card reader," Xiao Chen gestured to the saleswoman.
Soon, a brand new card reader was placed in front of everyone.
Xiao Chen took out another card and swiped it lightly on the card reader.
"Gold Card Balance... 150 million." The mechanical voice of the card reader clearly read out.
"What?" Wu Tao stared wide-eyed in shock, his face filled with disbelief.
Zhen Suxin and Liu Yue also looked at Xiao Chen in surprise, their eyes filled with astonishment.
He actually has that much money... not just hundreds of thousands or millions, but over a hundred million! A regular gold card has a balance of 150 million, so how much must be in that purple-gold card he just had? None of the three dared to imagine.
Wu Tao was speechless for a long time. He had originally planned to teach Xiao Chen a lesson, preferably to eliminate him completely, but he never expected that Xiao Chen would actually have such abundant wealth.
"I've told you long ago that you're blind and prejudiced, but you won't admit it. And don't try to play any tricks on me." Xiao Chen said coldly, his face stern. "You're not qualified to covet my junior sister!"
Wu Tao's face turned pale and then red, extremely embarrassed.
"This is the Xijiang Huafu of my Wu Group. How dare you threaten me here?" Wu Tao said fiercely, his eyes cold.
"boom!"
Xiao Chen suddenly made a move, kicking Wu Tao to the ground and then ruthlessly stepping on him.
"I not only threatened you, I also hit you. What can you do about it?"
Wu Tao's face turned deathly pale, and he trembled with rage. He had never suffered such humiliation in his entire life; no one had ever dared to trample him underfoot like this! But today, Xiao Chen had done it.
"You're asking for it!" Wu Tao roared hysterically, completely losing his previous gentlemanly demeanor.
The Xijiang Huafu compound has a large number of security guards. When they saw their young master being beaten, they immediately rushed over with batons in a menacing manner.
Xiao Chen stepped on Wu Tao without moving an inch, but with a slight tremor of his arm, an invisible force spread out, instantly blasting all the security guards away.
Wu Tao stared in disbelief, his eyes wide open.
"Do you know the capabilities of my Wu Group?" Even so, he was still not giving up and continued to threaten Xiao Chen.
The Wu Group is a leading business giant in the Western District, with intricate relationships in all aspects. It is no exaggeration to say that it has connections everywhere in the Western District.
"The Wu Group?" Xiao Chen suddenly sneered. "The Wu Group, huh? They're really something else, aren't they?"
"You're asking for it!" Wu Tao shouted angrily, his face flushed red.
"Snapped!"
Xiao Chen slapped Wu Tao hard across the face, causing blood to flow freely from his mouth.
Zhen Suxin was stunned. She never expected that what started as a house-buying trip would turn into this. She was worried that Xiao Chen would lose control and go on a killing spree.
"You'll regret this!" Wu Tao said through gritted teeth, his face grim.
"I don't know if I'll regret it or not, but you don't have the ability to make me regret it." Xiao Chen said, kicking Wu Tao away.
“You are not qualified to speak to me. Go and call the chairman of the Wu Group.”
Wu Tao was helped up from the ground by his men, his eyes filled with hatred as he stared intently at Xiao Chen. He was convinced that Xiao Chen had deliberately come to cause trouble.
"Who do you think you are, trying to see my father? You're not worthy!"
Xiao Chen's gaze suddenly sharpened.
"Whoosh!"
A cup on the table flew over instantly and shattered violently at Wu Tao's knee.
"what……"
Wu Tao let out a scream and knelt down.
"Quickly, go get help! Shoot this damned bastard to death!" Wu Tao shouted in anguish.
"Who's causing trouble here?" Just then, a dignified voice rang out. A group of people escorted a person into the sales office.
"Chairman..." Upon seeing this, everyone quickly bowed respectfully and greeted him.
