Chapter 124 - Bucket of Sweat
Chapter 124: Bucket of Sweat
After MinDe ended the phone call, Xiao Guan was burning with anger.
He was so angry at his stupid daughter and that arrogant man.
Since Xiao Mei was young, he already decided to use her as a bargaining chip to get the title of the next Family Patriarch using the help of Johnson Holdings.
He knew that Robert loved her daughter very much. He believed that using the authority of Johnson Family, he would be one step closer to reaching his goal.
Unfortunately, his stupid daughter decided to escape after rejecting Robert's wedding proposal, destroying all his plans to seize the heir position.
Their family was different from the other aristocratic families who selected their heir based on the bloodline.
Their family was able to stand in it's current position because of their style in choosing the next Family Head.
It was based on talent.
In selecting the next heir, all eligible sons from the main and side branch of the family will compete using their talents. They will be given 20 years to increase the profit of the allotted business given by the family. The one who got the highest result will be the next Xiao Patriarch regardless of whether he came from the main or side branch.
Xiao Guan was the eldest son of the Family Head. Deep inside of him, he already considered himself as the next Patriarch.
Using the help of the Johnson Family, he believed that nobody could defeat him in the race.
Too bad, Xiao Mei ran away from home, leaving Robert alone.
When Xiao Guan remembered his unfilial daughter, he could not help but gnash his teeth.
'That stupid daughter! She doesn't know what's good for her! Humpf! She chose that arrogant man over Robert! Truly stupid!
A man like him was only full of words without action. He's very arrogant! Heh... How stupid is he?
I don't think he would truly give me a blank cheque. Humpf. If the cheque is truly genuine, the account must only have few millions at best.
Hahaha. Too bad, he will be shamed later on. Did he really think that I will just write a couple of thousand or a million RMB?
I will make sure that Xiao Mei will see that the man she has chosen is penniless than a beggar.
I will slap him with money later!'
Xiao Guan was still cursing both MinDe and Xiao Mei when one of the servants called him.
"Eldest Master Guan, someone is looking for you."
Xiao Guan's brows rose. He was not expecting any visitors. Unless... It was that arrogant man.
"Who is it?"
"This servant does not know. The man only said that he will deliver something for you."
"Hao, bring me to him."
When Xiao Guan arrived, he saw a man sitting on the chair.
It was not that arrogant man.
The man who was sitting had a very fine feature and his aura was dignified.
Xiao Guan was still observing the visitor. Based on his looks, he must be wealthy but he did not know him. Thus, his attitude was somewhat respectful.
"This young man, can you tell the purpose of your visit?"
"I was tasked to give you the blank cheque."
When Xiao Guan heard him, he snorted in disdain.
"You must be that arrogant man's subordinate. Hah! Blank cheque? HAHAHAHAH."
When the young man saw Xiao Guan laughing really hard as if he found something amusing, he could not help but want to smack him in the face.
'Did this stupid man go crazy after hearing that he will receive a blank check?
Well, receiving a blank cheque means receiving a grace from the Lu Family. I understand the old man from going nuts due to happiness.'
The young man gave the blank cheque to Xiao Guan.
Just like what his Second Young Master said, the account was from his private savings and not from the Lu Family.
Xiao Guan eyed the check. There was nothing suspicious about the cheque. He grinned evilly and stared at the young man.
"Blank cheque? It means I can write how much I want?"
"Yes. Indeed. No matter how much you write, you will receive the exact amount."
"HAHAHAHAH! Really?? Did you really think that I will just write a few thousand RMB here? Or do you think that having a million or so in an account is enough to flaunt your wealth? Tell your boss that I will slap him with my money, later!"
"You---!"
The young man went speechless.
He looked at Xiao Guan like he was looking at a piece of shit.
The young man stood up and glared at him.
"I do hope you will not regret insulting my boss. Please remember that there is no medicine for regret."
The young man walked away and left.
Xiao Guan laughed mocking.
He stared at the cheque and wrote,
FIVE MILLION DOLLARS.
'Heh... Let's see... If you really have the money.'
Xiao Guan was laughing while writing the amount. He believed that the account wouldn't even have a million RMB inside, much more a million dollar.
He just wanted to taunt and humiliate that arrogant man. He will slap him later by giving back a blank cheque.
He will use it to entice the arrogant man with more money and return Xiao Mei to him.
After he wrote the amount, Xiao Guan immediately went to the nearest bank.
When he gave the cheque, he already knew that the bank will not accept it so he was just waiting for the confirmation.
Suddenly, the bank teller nodded and accepted the cheque.
"Please wait a minute. I will process the transaction."
When Xiao Guan heard the bank teller, he felt like he was slapped silly.
He could not help but sweat hard.
"Wait! I---"
Xiao Guan wanted to stop the bank teller but he could not utter the words he wanted to say.
