A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 21

One could only imagine just how wealthy and powerful the holder of card number 001 was. Even in her dreams, Xu Lei had always wanted to get to know a person like the card holder. But now, her own subordinate had treated the VIP like an idiot and restrained him, during his very first visit.

"Ma'am, what's wrong?"

"Don't worry. I have already taken care of everything. I have dialed 110 as well. We just have to wait for the police to arrive and send him to prison." Wang Kai-Wen saw Xu Lei's terrible expression and assumed that the manager was worried about the bank's reputation. She smiled again and waited expectantly for Xu Lei to lavish praise on her.

"What?"

"You freaking called the cops too?"

Screw you!

Xu Lei was immediately staggered and scared witless by the impact of this news.

And while in the throes of rage, she slapped Wang Kai-Wen right in the face.

"You bitch, don't you know there are people you are not supposed to offend?"

"If you want to die, go die by yourself! Don't drag us down with you!"

Xu Lei was frightened out of her mind.

The person in front of her was the holder of the black card!

During its three-hundred-year-old history, Hongqi Bank had issued less than a thousand black cards. Currently, in Great China, there were only three black card holders. All three of them held unimaginable power and wealth.

Of course, that was not the issue here. The important thing to note was that this black card in front of her had the code number 001.

What did this number represent? Did it mean that this card was the first card issued by the bank?

Of course not!

What the code number represented was status.

In other words, this black card had the highest level of authority among all the black cards in circulation.

The 001 black card had no equal, only subordinates!

Otherwise, why would the Hongqi Bank set up a branch in Yunzhou, just to service this single customer?

But now, her subordinate had offended and even reported him to the police. How could Xu Lei remain calm in this situation?

She was truly frightened. If the big shot decided to punish her alongside her subordinate, then Xu Lei's future would be ruined.

Prompted by her fear, Xu Lei hurried forward and, in a very respectful manner, apologized to Ye Fan. "Most honored black card holder, what happened earlier was a result of my failure to discipline my subordinates. Please accept my most sincere apologies on behalf of Hongqi Bank."

"Please let us know if you have any requests. I will do my best to fulfill them."

Xu Lei's respectful voice resounded through the lobby.

Everyone was taken aback by this turn of events, and the mockings against Ye Fan were stifled immediately.

As for Wang Kai-Wen, she was lying limply on the floor, her mind a total blank. She could only stare foolishly at Xu Lei, who was so frightened that she could hardly speak in front of Ye Fan.

Only then, did Wang Kai-Wen understand. This seemingly poor person she had looked down on was actually a big shot, powerful beyond her imagination.

Her gaze followed Ye Fan and Xu Lei as they entered the bank's VIP reception room. The derision and disdain she had felt for him had disappeared and, in her heart, those feelings were replaced by lamentation for her own folly.

Good heavens! Who had she offended?

"Mr. Ye, I really must apologize for what happened today. To express my regret, henceforth, all your loans will be interest-free for a period of up to three years. As long as the loan amount is below a hundred million."

Ye Fan had already completed his transaction and was just walking out of the VIP reception room. Although he had not expressed outward signs of anger, Xu Lei was still panicking and kept on apologizing.

Suddenly, Ye Fan stopped to look at the mature and elegant woman by his side. And then he said lightly, "Miss Xu, do you think I am so poor that I need to take out loans from the bank?"

"Erm~Erm~"

The corner of Xu Lei's mouth twitched a little. She did not know how to respond to Ye Fan.

Perhaps, all big shots talked like that regularly.

"Okay, that's all for today. Miss Xu, thank you for your hospitality. As for my money, please make sure I receive it on time."

"And, I do not wish to reveal my identity at this time.”

"Mr. Ye, please do not worry. The Hongqi Bank will serve you wholeheartedly!" Xu Lei replied quickly.
