Chapter 40

Zhao Xiaoyue knew that Tang Ruoxue gave Ye Fei zero spending money every month, but it was always ten thousand each time.

Ten million was absolutely impossible, and Tang Ruoxue couldn't come up with that much.

So Zhao Xiaoyue's first reaction was that the check was fake.

But when she glanced down, she found that the stamps were complete, there were no alterations, the amounts in figures and words matched, and although the signature was unclear, it was written in one continuous stroke.

Her professional instinct told her that the check was real.

When everyone heard that the check was fake, they all looked over and started whispering.

Ye Fei calmly said, "This check is real."

"Where did you get this check?"

Zhao Xiaoyue directly stuffed the check into her pocket and glared at Ye Fei fiercely, "Did you steal it from the Tang family?"

"I'm giving you one chance to answer honestly, or I'll call Ruoxue over and report you to the police."

Even if the check was real, it couldn't possibly be Ye Fei's.

Many people gathered around, and upon hearing that a man who had married into the family had a ten million check, they all tsked and mocked Ye Fei for being dishonest.

Which family would give so much money to a man who had married into the family?

A few female employees even curled their lips in disdain, thinking he was a freeloader and a thief, with very low morals.

Ye Fei's voice deepened, "This is my check."

"Your check?"

Zhao Xiaoyue sneered, "You, who rely on Ruoxue for a living, how could you possibly have a ten million check?"

"You must have stolen it from the Tang family."

"I'm telling you, you've committed a crime."

Then she picked up her phone and called Tang Ruoxue, "Ruoxue, come to the bank, something's happened."

"You're making a fuss over nothing."

Ye Fei was angry, "I want to see your bank manager."

"The bank manager isn't someone you can just see."

Zhao Xiaoyue was excited, "Once Ruoxue gets here and finds out you stole the Tang family's check, just see how you explain yourself."

Her eyes sparkled; catching Ye Fei stealing the check would definitely make Tang Ruoxue divorce him.

Once Ye Fei and Tang Ruoxue divorced, her brother could marry Tang Ruoxue directly.

"Xiaoyue, what's going on?"

Not long after, a red BMW pulled up at the entrance, and Tang Ruoxue rushed into the bank in a hurry.

Seeing Ye Fei, she was slightly taken aback, "Ye Fei, what are you doing here?"

At this moment, a few people walked in from the staff entrance, and a middle-aged man frowned and shouted, "What's going on?"

Zhao Xiaoyue quickly explained, "Manager Jia, someone is trying to cash a stolen check."

Manager Jia's eyebrows furrowed, someone stealing a check?

"That scoundrel, he stole the Tang family's check, and I caught him red-handed."

Zhao Xiaoyue pointed at Ye Fei and shouted, "He refuses to admit it, but I've brought the victim here."

Then she said to Tang Ruoxue, "Ruoxue, you should call the police to arrest him, and then you can get divorced."

Tang Ruoxue was also confused, "A check?"

"Yes, it's right here, and it's for ten million."

Zhao Xiaoyue took out the check, "He's trying to empty the Tang family's coffers, what a white-eyed wolf."

Tang Ruoxue took the check and was stunned, "This isn't the Tang family's check."

"Not the Tang family's?"

Zhao Xiaoyue was astonished and then stared at Ye Fei, "Then he must have stolen it from somewhere else, or found it on the street."

"What a greedy person."

She sneered, "And a foolish one, do you think you can cash a check you found?"

Tang Ruoxue narrowed her eyes, "Ye Fei, what's going on?"

"That's right, this check isn't from the Tang family, I didn't steal it, and I didn't find it."

Ye Fei met Tang Ruoxue's gaze calmly, "This is a cash check from Huang Zhendong. I helped him with something, and he gave me ten million as a reward."

"What can a good-for-nothing like you do to help?"

Zhao Xiaoyue sneered, "Who in their right mind would give you ten million? Huang Zhendong, the fool, right...?"

"What?"

"Huang Zhendong?"

Halfway through, Zhao Xiaoyue's face changed, "President Huang?"

At this moment, Manager Jia took the check and examined it, "This is President Huang's check, I can recognize his signature at a glance."

Tang Ruoxue also testified, "Ye Fei and President Huang do have a close relationship."

"You have some nerve."

Zhao Xiaoyue was shocked, "To dare steal President Huang's check?"

"I told you, this is the reward from Huang Zhendong."

Ye Fei was very calm, "If you don't believe me, you can call and ask."

Manager Jia hesitated for a moment, then picked up the phone and dialed. Soon, he hung up with an embarrassed look.

"Mr. Ye, I'm sorry, it was a misunderstanding."

"Please be magnanimous and forgive us."

Manager Jia forced a smile, confirming the check was real.

"What?"

At this moment, Zhao Xiaoyue was shocked, "It's really ten million from Mr. Huang?"

"How is that possible?"

"Why not?"

Manager Jia frowned, "Mr. Ye is a distinguished and talented person, and he has a deep friendship with Mr. Huang. A ten million reward is quite normal."

"That's absolutely impossible."

Zhao Xiaoyue was desperate, "He's a man who married into the family and relies on the Tang family for a living, how could he have a relationship with President Huang?"

"It must be a mistake."

She couldn't accept it, "Manager Jia, ask President Huang again, he must have made a mistake."

Tang Ruoxue stepped forward with a bitter smile, "Xiaoyue, Ye Fei does have a relationship with President Huang..." At the same time, she glared at Ye Fei, who had promised not to cash the check from Huang Zhendong but had come to the bank anyway.

She would definitely deal with Ye Fei when they got home.

"Enough, Ruoxue, don't favor him. I know Ye Fei's background."

Zhao Xiaoyue interrupted Tang Ruoxue and looked at Manager Jia, "Manager, ask again."

Seeing Zhao Xiaoy so certain and Ye Fei's shabby clothes, Manager Jia hesitated and called Huang Zhendong again.

Soon, his face turned sour, no doubt he had been scolded.

After hanging up, Manager Jia shouted at Zhao Xiaoyue, "Manager Zhao, I order you to apologize to Mr. Ye immediately."

Zhao Xiaoyue was slightly dazed: What?

Could this be true?

Manager Jia shouted, "Did you hear me? Apologize."

Zhao Xiaoyue's face changed dramatically. Ye Fei was a wimp in her eyes, and it was hard for her to apologize to such a man.

But seeing Manager Jia's stern gaze, she could only grumble, "I'm sorry."

Ye Fei smiled, "You mocked me, slandered me, and called Ruoxue over. Is this apology so unwilling?"

Zhao Xiaoyue's eyebrows shot up, "Ye Fei, know your limits, don't overstep."

Tang Ruoxue also said softly, "Ye Fei, it was a misunderstanding, let it go..."

"Since he won't admit his mistake, fire him."

Ye Fei looked at Manager Jia, "Keeping such an employee will only cause you trouble."

"Quite a mouth on you."

Zhao Xiaoyue pouted, "Fire me? Who do you think you are?"

Tang Ruoxue glared at Ye Fei. Huang Zhendong could give ten million for Ye Fei's help, but he might not listen to Ye Fei's advice to pressure the bank.

Manager Jia was even more dismissive. How could Huang Zhendong cut off cooperation with the bank because of Ye Fei?

Most importantly, 90% of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce's funds were in the Hundred Flowers Bank, while the Baohai Bank only had a negligible portion.

He could give Huang Zhendong some face, but not enough to fire a manager.

Moreover, Zhao Xiaoyue was a wealthy young woman with considerable background, and the Zhao family's financial transactions with the Baohai Bank were no less than Huang Zhendong's.

So he shrugged and smiled at Ye Fei, "Mr. Ye, know your limits. Your request is beyond my power."

"Do you think knowing Mr. Huang gives you the right to do whatever you want?"

Zhao Xiaoyue was even more smug, "Ye Fei, you're too naive."

"And I'll tell you, my brother will be back in a couple of days, and he'll deal with you then."

She suddenly became fierce, "I'll make you realize that I'm someone you can't mess with."

Ye Fei smiled faintly, "I think the naive one is you."

"Ye Fei, stop messing with Xiaoyue, I'll go get the car, and we'll go home together."

Tang Ruoxue glared at Ye Fei and then turned to start the car.

She knew Zhao Xiaoyue's connections, and Ye Fei's request to fire her was a pipe dream.

Ye Fei smiled at Manager Jia, "It seems President Huang's face isn't enough."

Manager Jia smiled, "Indeed, it isn't."

Seeing Ye Fei being rebuffed by the manager, a few female employees either pouted or laughed at each other, looking down on Ye Fei, thinking he was too arrogant.

"Is this one enough?"

Ye Fei handed over a second check.

Hui Chun Tang, fifty million.

Manager Jia's face changed.

"Not enough, then add another one."

Ye Fei handed over a third check.

Qianbao Group, one hundred million.

Manager Jia almost fell over.

He looked at Ye Fei in disbelief, not expecting him to not only know Huang Zhendong but also to have a good relationship with Sun Shengshou and Han Nanhua.

These were all major clients, with billions of transactions each year.

For Ye Fei to get such large sums from them indicated that he had a significant influence on them.

In the next second, he slapped Zhao Xiaoyue, "Get out, you're fired..."
