Chapter 10: Personal Bank Cards

The call connected.

Siao Jia's voice rang out, "What, not going to see a doctor but have time to call me? Want to beg for mercy?"

"Cut the crap," Xu Ke snapped angrily, "what the hell do you want?"

He was now so furious that he felt capable of murder at any moment.

His family was his Achilles heel.

Siao Jia laughed sarcastically, "Xu Ke, I won't waste words with you, it's simple."

"First, kneel and apologize to Li Jun for slandering him that day; it has left us feeling very upset."

"Second, leave Tianhai; I don't want to see you in the future."

"Third, give me the remaining half of your house to compensate me for my youth."

Siao Jia had not forgotten the words Xu Ke had said when he left the Siao family.

What does 'not up to a young model' mean?

It was a complete defamation of Li Jun's love for her.

That's why Siao Jia chose to seek such frantic revenge on Xu Ke.

Hearing these three demands, Xu Ke burst into laughter and mocked her directly, "All these words just for a house? What, found out that Li Jun is just toying with you and afraid of being dumped and left with no money to buy a house, so you're scheming to get your ex-boyfriend's house first?"

In his fury, Xu Ke's words were a direct stab to the heart.

She roared back furiously, "Xu Ke, what nonsense are you spouting? Li Jun loves me for real, don't even think about creating a rift between us."

"Haha, whether he truly loves you or not, you know best," Xu Ke sneered.

He continued angrily, "I'm telling you, don't even dream about getting the house, I won't leave Tianhai, and one day, I will make you kneel before me."

"Keep trying to mess with me; if you don't kill me, I'll be the one to take you down."

With that said,

Xu Ke hung up the phone.

"Fine, fine, fine."

Siao Jia stared at the disconnected call, trembling with rage, "Xu Ke, you're dead."

...

After Nie Yuncong left, Xu Ke soon got in line, got bandaged, and then left the hospital.

He planned on applying for an additional credit card.

He already had two, and he didn't want to use one loan to cover another, which could blow up his credit directly.

But now there was no choice.

Xu Ke checked the map for the bank's location and headed out directly.

...

Half-past two in the afternoon.

Xu Ke had just entered the bank, intending to swipe his ID to get a number.

Just then,

a hand blocked the ID that Xu Ke was about to place.

"I was wondering who looked so familiar, it's Xu Ke... Nice bandage on your head,"

a familiar voice echoed.

Yang Qing.

Xu Ke turned and saw her, his expression darkening.

He had forgotten.

Yang Qing was the lobby manager of this bank.

After a glance at Yang Qing, Xu Ke said, "Let go."

Yang Qing raised her eyebrows, "I won't."

"Is the ticket dispenser yours?"

Yang Qing laughed mockingly, "Don't talk nonsense; I'm just asking, what are you doing at the bank?"

"Applying for a credit card."

"Oh, out of money and want to scam a credit card to pay off your debts?"

Xu Ke ignored her and simply pushed her aside.

Yet, Yang Qing blocked the ticket dispenser, "Your asset situation is in the red; our bank won't issue a card to you."

Xu Ke wasn't in a hurry. He took out his phone without even looking up, "Preventing me from getting a number, with such a terrible attitude... I wonder, Manager Yang, how would you like to handle a complaint?"

"You..."

Yang Qing's face changed, still trying to sound tough, "Well, you have no money, that's just the truth. Even if you get a number, we won't issue you a card, so don't waste your time."

At that moment, a voice came from outside.

"What's going on?"

A man walked in.

Yang Qing was shocked, "Branch manager."

The branch manager who had just arrived for work looked at Xu Ke, "Hello, I am the manager of this branch, Qi Tianming. How may I address you, and how can I assist you?"

"My name is Xu Ke."

Xu Ke glanced at Yang Qing, "Manager Yang does not want to let me take a number and is preventing me here."

Qi Tianming turned to Yang Qing.

Yang Qing was very composed, "Branch manager, I'm his friend, and I know he's here to apply for a credit card."

"However, he just lost his job, he has a mortgage, and multiple large debts, completely unsuitable. I did not want him to waste our colleagues' time and effort... don't believe me, ask him if he owes a lot of money."

After speaking,

Yang Qing looked smug.

She was stating the facts, indisputable.

And she had made it seem like she was considering her colleagues.

The branch manager would surely take her side.

Qi Tianming turned to Xu Ke, "Mister Xu, is this true?"

"Indeed,"

Xu Ke did not deny it, "But as for asset evaluation, it seems that Manager Yang can't be so rude, nor prevent me from taking a number, right? Do asset evaluations at your branch work just by saying so?"

He was ready to risk it all.

Even if he couldn't get a card, he was determined to give Yang Qing a hard time.

Qi Tianming's brow furrowed slightly, a flash of displeasure crossed his eyes.

He could see that no matter what, Xu Ke wouldn't be able to get a card; he was clearly opposing Yang Qing, right?

Not to mention increasing the workload on the tellers.

But reluctantly, Xu Ke was completely in the right.

Qi Tianming turned to Yang Qing, "Manager Yang, please apologize to Mister Xu."

Yang Qing's face looked as if she had just swallowed something foul.

How could Xu Ke be so disgusting?

But in the end, under Qi Tianming's gaze, she had to bow her head in apology, "I'm sorry."

Xu Ke said, "Apologize properly; I'm helping you—it's for your own good in the long run."

Yang Qing was so angry, her teeth clenched.

Qi Tianming's brow tightened, "Mister Xu, you may now take a number."

That was his way of hinting that Xu Ke could calm down now.

He had seen plenty of young people living off loans.

And still being mouthy?

He didn't appreciate that at all.

Xu Ke shrugged and placed his ID on the ticket machine.

"Beep."

He had intended to take a number when suddenly a line of text appeared.

Xu Ke's expression changed.

Then, a synthesized electronic voice sounded,

"Hello, Mister Xu, your assets have reached our standards. You are cordially invited to apply for a private banking card and enjoy more VIP quality services."

And with that,

Qi Tianming's and Yang Qing's faces instantly froze.

Stunned.

A private banking card that required ten million in assets to qualify for!

Why did Xu Ke meet the standard?!

And at that moment, Qi Tianming's expression showed fear.

This was big trouble...
