Chapter 24 - Money Talks

"Yes, my daughter has always cared about fairness. She doesn't like to see anyone using underhanded tricks. Anyway, you just have to do your best.

"There's one billion on this card. I originally planned to give it to my daughter as pocket money, but she refused to accept it, so I'll invest in the drama that my daughter has set her heart on. I believe in my daughter's taste!

"If it isn't enough, ask me again. This is my contact number."

Since his daughter had already said so, he couldn't ask everyone to give her special preferential treatment. He might as well go with the flow.

This way, no one would dare bully his daughter in the future, right?

Father Lu smiled and took out a black card from his pocket. He also took out his name card and handed it to Xiang Quqi.

Xiang Quqi was stunned. Before he could react, some people started laughing.

"D*mn, he's really good at acting! One billion for pocket money; why not say play ball with the planet Mars?"

"Is there a big shot we don't know about in South City who can take out one billion at one go?"

"You must be acting, right? Is this an audition?"

"Also, who is Miss Miao?

"She's the eldest daughter of the Miao family, one of the four great families in South City. No matter how rich he is, he can't possibly compare with Miss Miao, right?"

"That's right, that's right!"

Many people were making sarcastic remarks. They were very disdainful and were just waiting to see Miao Ke'er humiliate the other party.

Xiang Quqi choked and was a little worried.

Father Lu was even more direct. "I am Lu Xiao, and my name is my word. The biggest money lender in the country is my family. Whether or not I have money, whether or not anyone can beat me - it doesn't matter what you say. What matters is what my bank account says!"

Father Lu was utterly overbearing, his upright posture intimidating everyone!

He had a bold and magnificent appearance, and his long hair made him look even more imposing and fierce.

For a moment, everyone was so shocked that their eyeballs nearly popped out!

It was that - that nouveau riche fat cat?

Why would he suddenly invest in a drama? Wasn't he involved in financial loans?

They had always known that a fat cat like this was indeed very rich. Tens of millions or even 100 million shouldn't be a problem, but he, he was actually that rich?

Even a top corporation with assets worth billions of yuan couldn't possibly fork out one billion yuan in liquid capital at once, right?

After all, cash and fixed assets were different. Countless large companies with tens of billions in assets faced serious financial crises because they couldn't produce enough cash all at once, but he actually…?

The group couldn't believe it at all, and voiced their doubts.

"As if. Then tell us: What's your account balance?"

"Taking a card out at the start; it's all just bragging. I can also take out a similar card and say that there are billions or even ten billion on it. If no one can see the real figures, who would know?"

"Exactly; don't go overboard when you're pretending! Haven't you heard that the harder you pretend, the more painful it will be?"

One after another, they gave looks so disdainful it was as if they wanted to carve them into bone.

"Alright, since you guys have never seen so much money in your lives, I'll broaden your horizons today.

"Open your eyes wide. Don't look down on others before taking a good look. If you have the time, why don't you do more work? Who knows, you might even earn another one or two hundred yuan!"

Father Lu's tone was cold and mocking. He fiddled with his phone, and then directly displayed the balance on his bank card.

The eyes of the onlookers popped out. One zero, two zeroes, three zeroes…

F*ck!
