Chapter 65 Black Card (Second Update) "18.6 million... Payment completed..."

Chapter 65 Black Card (Second Update) "18.6 million... Payment completed..."

Ye Hantao accepted the business card, then looked at the others who had come with her, and said with a sudden realization, "You are the people Director Wan mentioned who wanted to have the jade appraised, right?"

What kind of jade?

[Identifying jade? Could it be a Shoushan jade ornament?!]

[Holy crap! There are these rumors circulating online that Ye Hantao's jadeite is from an old mine, glassy jadeite variety!]

The square-faced man's surname was Wu, and his name was Wu Yuandong.

Wu Yuandong nodded, "We can't be sure just by looking at the photo, which is why we troubled you to bring it here."

Then he presented a long gift box, saying, "This is an icy jade pendant; consider it a small gift for our first meeting."

Ye Hantao happily accepted the money; 50,000 yuan had arrived in her account.

Liao Jiayue frowned.

When Wu Yuandong and his colleagues handed out business cards, they all introduced themselves; each one of them was a senior executive from a long-established domestic jewelry company.

There is a chief process engineer, a branch manager, and a chief designer.

Liao Jiayue was puzzled. Why would a jade ornament worth less than a million yuan attract all of them to come knocking on her door?

"Is there a problem with the raw materials?" Liao Jiayue couldn't help but ask.

Wu Yuandong replied, "We want to personally verify whose handiwork it was."

Liao Jiayue was relieved.

For a fleeting moment, she genuinely believed that Ye Hantao's ornament was actually an old mine glass jadeite.

Ye Hantao took the box out of her bag and opened the lid.

Compared to the hasty delivery when it was brought to the show, this time a cotton towel was added to the box to prevent the ornament from being bumped or knocked.

It could sell for 600,000, so we can't be careless.

Wu Yuandong and the others were stunned when Ye Hantao casually displayed the ornaments in public.

A decorative piece worth tens of millions!

When they bid on an item worth hundreds of millions at an auction, the auction house has to work with a logistics company specializing in valuables and arrange for security personnel to escort it in the vehicle.

Wu Yuandong subconsciously looked around, and only when he saw that no one was paying much attention to him did he relax slightly.

Ye Hantao didn't think too much about it.

The ornament, priced at 600,000, was only cheaper than the first three items auctioned.

Shao Rong examined it carefully for a moment, then sighed softly, "Old Wu still has a discerning eye; it is indeed Old Huang's craftsmanship."

Wu Yuandong humbly said, "In recent years, Elder Huang has only been able to produce top-quality jade, so it's normal that you didn't recognize it at first."

Judging from Wu Yuandong's words, Ye Hantao's jade probably isn't very expensive.

As Liao Jiayue was thinking this, she suddenly heard another person speak up, "I was influenced by that guy named Ji Changtu on your show. He said it's glass-type jadeite."

Ye Hantao's heart skipped a beat.

It's not a glassy type? Then it's not worth 600,000!

Shao Rong looked at Ye Hantao with a questioning gaze, "This old mine glass jade is even better than the one in my shop, it looks like it's also top grade?"

"...?" Ye Hantao nodded hesitantly.

ah? !

ah? ! !

Isn't the jadeite bangle that Angang just photographed also from an old mine and of glassy type?

A pair of bracelets sold for 18.6 million!

Ye Hantao stared blankly at the ornaments in the box.

The raw materials used for Shoushan ornaments can probably make more than half a bracelet, which is equivalent to seven or eight million.

Ye Hantao went from holding the box in one hand to holding it in both hands.

Su Yi'ang stared in disbelief. "It's also an old mine glass jadeite? How much can it sell for?"

"It's considered excellent among the top-grade items, only slightly different from the best," Wu Yuandong said. "With Huang Lao's craftsmanship, it's worth at least 12 million."

Ye Hantao: "!"

Liao Jiayue & Su Yi'ang: "!!"

The audience: "!!!"

Of those present, apart from Wu Yuandong, Shao Rong, and a few others, only Cheng Zhao, who had come along, was not surprised.

He had previously deduced from the pendant he was wearing that the Shoushan ornament also belonged to the old mine glass type.

But he wasn't in a very good mood either.

On his way to the auction, he subtly inquired with the old man and learned that when the two families broke off the engagement, the old man did not give the Ye family any compensation!

They gave us nothing!!!

The old man said, "I'd like to give it to you, but you've knocked the display shelf over. Am I supposed to just sweep up the pieces and give them away?"

Cheng Zhao: "..."

[12 million?!!!! Aa ...

[Ji Changtu is heartless and rotten! No wonder Jin Shiyue cursed and slapped him!]

[He actually wants to buy Ye Hantao's multi-million dollar ornament for 700,000?! He's dreaming!]

Fortunately, Ye Hantao didn't agree!

Of course Ye Hantao wouldn't agree; she wasn't ignorant of quality.

Ye Hantao's acting was superb; her bewilderment was so natural.

One reason why viewers often disagree is that Ye Hantao repeatedly switches between "showing off that my family is very rich" and "being dumbfounded that my family is so rich."

Like now—

Ye Hantao, who had just said that the card her older brother gave her could cover all the items in the auction, looked completely bewildered when she heard that the Shoushan ornament in the box was worth tens of millions.

Zhou Ti gripped Ye Weizheng's arm tightly, "Tao Tao isn't sick!"

Ye Weizheng guessed, "Perhaps in Tao Tao's eyes, this is not something our family earned."

"The payment later..."

"I believe Tao Tao can handle it."

The two were talking, but the car was already on its way to the auction.

They lived in the provincial capital, which was only an hour's drive from the auction.

I originally thought Tao Tao knew Ming Sheng's identity, but I never expected that Tao Tao never believed me.

Before they set off, Mingsheng had already admitted to Taotao on WeChat that he was Maze.

Compared to letting Tao Tao discover the truth after swiping the card, or finding more irrefutable evidence online, he could still control things by admitting it first.

Of course, if Zhou Mingsheng had known earlier that Tao Tao hadn't believed he was Maze at all when they were at the guesthouse, he wouldn't have impulsively given away the black card.

Ye Hantao had no idea how she walked into the private room.

My right hand, which was holding the box, was sweating profusely.

1200w!

The chief designer, surnamed Wu, said this ornament is worth 12 million!

Ye Hantao knew that her former fiancé, whom she had never met, was very rich, but she never imagined he could be this rich.

He was willing to pay millions in compensation to break off a marriage that had no legal standing.

Cheng Zhao noticed that Ye Hantao was distracted, so he stretched out his arm to block the door frame.

Ye Hantao wasn't paying attention and bumped half her body into it, "..."

Thankfully, I put the box back in my bag.

Looking at the injured arm, the taut veins were clearly visible beneath the wheat-colored skin.

Ye Hantao touched her ear.

What are you thinking about?

"My ex-fiancé."

Cheng Zhao: "".

[Hahahaha, that person's face is so sour (doge.jpg)]

You insisted on asking, and then you got upset after I answered.

Who wouldn't want a fiancé like that! He'd give 12 million as compensation for breaking off the engagement!

Cheng Zhao, work hard to make money! With this ex-fiancé blocking your way, your future is going to be tough!

Ye Hantao had seen 3 million yuan gradually deposited into her account.

I was shocked by the 12 million yuan jadeite, but after a minute or two I came to my senses.

There was no one else in the private room except for the staff member in charge of settling the bill.

The staff member leading the way stopped at the entrance, bowed, and said, "Please come in, everyone."

Ye Hantao looked around. The private room was resplendent with gold and jade, and the finance team had a clear division of labor at the table in the center.

Only four customers paid their bills.

Ye Hantao: "I thought there would be a queue."

The staff member smiled and said, "We will invite guests to proceed according to the order of payment, so you won't waste your time waiting."

Seeing Ye Hantao's naive and unworldly demeanor, Liao Jiayue immediately thought that Ye Hantao was incredibly lucky to have a former fiancé who later became successful.

The family offered a 12 million yuan jadeite as compensation for breaking off the engagement—even the few wealthy families they could associate with wouldn't go to such lengths!

Liao Jiayue concealed her resentment and feigned curiosity, asking, "Tao Tao, were there queues at the auctions you attended before?"

This was Ye Hantao's first time attending an auction, so how could she know whether other auctions had long queues?

"queue."

Which auction?

Ye Hantao lied and said, "...I've attended too many auctions to remember them all."

[Disease progression: 53.8%]

Ye Hantao seemed quite unfamiliar with receiving the bidding paddles today; it was obvious she'd never participated before.

[That can't be right, there's Maze, his brother.]

[Talking about this? Su Yi'ang isn't much worse than Maze at his peak. Didn't he just say he'd never attended an auction?]

[If that's your assessment, then Cheng Zhao was taking care of Ye Hantao from before she even entered the venue, so does that mean he attends events frequently?]

Regardless of whether Ye Hantao participated in the ginseng competition or not, the 12 million yuan jadeite ornament is a done deal.

[Even excluding family assets, Ye Hantao is now considered an A8-level individual.]

[This only includes Ye Hantao alone, not Maze.]

Haters: "..."

Now that they could no longer smear Ye Hantao by accusing her of poverty and shabbiness, they suddenly found themselves at a loss for what to do.

Ye Hantao doesn't care what the comments say; the real feedback on the persona she's earned is what matters.

Once the disease progresses to 50%, there might be another 48 hours, no, 72 hours of absolute health.

A staff member stepped forward and said, "Now, please check the auction confirmation slip again."

Ye Hantao has two confirmation slips: one for a tea set worth 70,000 yuan, and the other for a jade bracelet that Qi Suyiang bid on.

The list doesn't contain much information, including the auction name, number, final price, and commission rate.

Ye Hantao checked it repeatedly and found no problems. The only issue was that her older brother didn't have enough money in his card.

He sat down at the table and signed his name.

If the card payment fails later, I'll definitely get another boost from my vain persona.

As for the deposit and commission, with a jade ornament worth 12 million yuan in hand, making some investments for the sake of health is nothing.

Ye Hantao plans to go home and sell the ornaments with her family.

"Angang, I'll pay for your painting first."

"Sure."

Su Yi'ang didn't refuse; he was originally helping the big boss take pictures of Tao Tao's paintings.

Ye Hantao took out the card her older brother had given her from her bag.

The man had just handed her the card and was about to get off the bus, so she didn't have a chance to look at the card closely.

I just realized that the card is black, with a big C in the center and "citi" in the upper right corner.

Which bank is this? Ye Hantao's only bank card is a debit card from Huaguo Bank, which was issued by the school last year when she was in college.

Do they still have banks with English signage in their country? Is this bank legitimate?

Seeing Ye Hantao hesitate to move, Liao Jiayue assumed that Ye Hantao had exaggerated and was about to make a scene.

She asked softly, "Tao Tao, is there a problem with the card?"

Ye Hantao handed the card to the staff member, "No problem."

The staff member accepted the card with both hands.

Even after working at the auction house for many years, he had rarely seen a black card.

The staff member occasionally watches variety shows and knows Ye Hantao. He is biased towards Ye Hantao because her family is somewhat wealthy, but not as wealthy as Liao Jiayue's.

Looking at the black card in his hand, he realized that his ability to judge people was still lacking.

The staff member gestured for Ye Hantao to enter the password.

Ye Hantao went all out with her act, pressing the numbers 061207.

drop.

The staff member smiled and said, "The total is 1.75 million. Payment successful. Here is the withdrawal slip."

Ye Hantao: "...?"

Is the machine malfunctioning?

"Did it work?"

"right."

Ye Hantao was petrified on the spot.

Aa ...

How can my brother have 1.75 million in his account?! ...

She swiped her older brother's secret stash of money!

In a flash, Ye Hantao remembered that her older brother's card did not have the words "debit card" or a debit symbol on it.

The older brother probably gave me a credit card, which allows overdraft spending.

Ye Hantao has never applied for a credit card, but the overdraft limit of a credit card should be linked to the applicant's income and assets.

How could a network administrator like me, who only earns a few thousand yuan a month, manage to spend 1.75 million yuan on his credit card?

Regardless of how they obtained it, they still have to pay it back.

The staff noticed that Ye Hantao, who was sitting opposite them, first had a blank expression, and then she was filled with grief.

Staff: "..."

You already have a black card, why are you still reluctant to part with 1.75 million?

Ye Hantao was not only reluctant, but also shameless.

"Okay, I've paid for you," Ye Han said, blushing. "Transfer the money to me later, okay?"

She won't pretend to be rich when she's not!

Su Yi'ang: "?"

The audience: "??"

[Disease progression: 51.5%]

So you don't claim expenses?

【You don't actually think Su Yi'ang would refuse if you offered to pay for it, do you?!】

So who said Ye Hantao came from a wealthy family? She wouldn't even part with 1.75 million!

[Rich people's money doesn't grow on trees; maybe Ye Hantao's credit card spending isn't enough.]

[Her bracelets cost 18.6 million! How much credit isn't enough?!]

It's not even certain whether it will appear in the search results.

Su Yi'ang didn't think too much about it, simply suspecting that Tao Tao believed his previous excuse.

He said he only took the photos because he liked them, and Tao Tao probably genuinely thought he did.

The staff were also surprised by Ye Hantao's request. Is it true that the richer you are, the stingier you become?

He made another gesture, indicating that Ye Hantao could swipe her card again.

This time, the item being sold is a jade bracelet worth 18.6 million yuan.

Ye Hantao is no longer worried.

Even with overdraft spending, not just anyone can have an overdraft limit of 18.6 million.

Those non-compliant online lending platforms wouldn't do this, nor do they have the capability to do it.

The staff member gave a familiar smile.

"..." Ye Hantao had a bad feeling.

The staff member's next words sounded like the whisper of a demon.

"A total of 18.6 million, payment successful, this is the withdrawal slip."

Ye Hantao: "..."

[...Has the payment been made?]

【ah? ? ? ? ? 】

What kind of card did Ye Hantao use?! A single payment of 18.6 million!!

[Credit card, you've overdrawn your account.]

[Maze did the same thing during competitions; it was reported that they had to use their credit cards several times to treat the team to meals.]

[He was just lucky; he made it and won the championship. Otherwise, the debts would have been enough to ruin him!]

This comment actually garnered some approval, specifically in Ye Hantao's dazed state when she heard an electronic voice indicating that her condition was progressing slowly.

[Friendly reminder: Whether it's a debit card or a credit card, your single transaction limit will not exceed 10 million.]

[Who said that? Foreign black cards are acceptable, like the Centurion Black Card.]

So, is someone who can hold a credit card with a limit of over 10 million yuan an ordinary person?

Those who mocked Maze earlier probably have never even had a credit card.

Go to the bank and check if your salary and assets qualify you for the loan, and if so, how much you can withdraw.

The haters were immediately silenced.

Both confirmation slips have been paid for, and there's still 70,000 for a tea set.

This time, Ye Hantao did not enter a password.

Her voice was trembling: "18.6 million... Payment successful?"

The staff member confirmed, "Yes."

Crack!

Ye Hantao was completely devastated.

Brother, if you're really a network administrator, how could you possibly have such a quota?!

This realization immediately overshadowed the heartache of losing 18.6 million views.

All sorts of doubts from the past rushed into his mind without warning, including the scene of his older brother scolding Ang Ang.

Angang got scolded by the big boss a lot at the base. If he keeps mistaking people for others, can he keep doing it?!

"..." Ye Hantao belatedly realized something.

The eldest brother is Maze.

Maze is the eldest brother.

So it turns out she was telling the truth from beginning to end.

The older brother is the one lying.

Ye Hantao thought she would be shocked and incredulous, but she was much calmer than she had imagined.

She may have had some doubts as early as when Ang Ang blurted out "big boss".

I was finally convinced by my older brother's words, "You've mistaken me for someone else, you're just an average-looking person."

I feel a strange tightness in my chest.

Ye Hantao suspected that this was because she was upset after being deceived.

Back then, as the eldest brother of Maze, he went through countless hardships to lead the team to the global stage.

None of his family members went to the scene to cheer him on or celebrate with him.

[48-hour health trial‰@#& Pause... Effective‰@#& Temporarily... Suspended‰@#&……]

The garbled electronic voice suddenly pulled Ye Hantao back to reality, startling her so much that her face turned pale.

The next second, a mango-flavored fructose was popped into my mouth.

Ye Hantao looked at Cheng Zhao blankly and heard him say, "You look like you have low blood sugar."

[Beep, positive interference factors detected are intensifying; 48-hour health experience remains in effect.]

With her heart finally at ease, Ye Hantao chewed on the candy and thanked Cheng Zhao.

Cheng Zhao shook his head.

He stuffed the candy wrapper back into his pants pocket and stared down at the fingertip of his index finger that had held the candy.

Ye Hantao didn't know what this interfering factor specifically referred to, but she was determined not to hold a grudge.

She took out her phone, intending to file a complaint.

Before filing the accusation, I saw the sincere apology that the older brother had posted earlier, and I realized that he and Maze are the same person.

However, he has been overly mythologized by netizens, and she told her not to think too highly of him.

"..."

I said a couple of things in the family group earlier, and even reminded you not to use the Maze name for profit-making activities, but you didn't admit it!

Ye Hantao snorted, [@Manufacturer, from today onwards, you're the lowest rung in the family. You lied (angry.jpg) (angry.jpg) (angry.jpg)]

Zhou Ti & Ye Weizheng: "..."

Two seconds later, Ye Hantao posted again: [Big brother, you're incredibly amazing! Absolutely outstanding! Incredibly cool! The most skillful maneuver in history! I'm so proud of you!!!]

She wanted to make up for all the compliments she hadn't been able to tell her older brother before.

After Ye Hantao posted this message, she looked up and saw a POS machine.

This time, I really can't calm down.

It swallowed 18.6 million!

How many years would it take to earn that much?!

Ye Hantao wants to return the goods qaq.
