Manager Bian pushed his monocle up his nose and sized up Ma Lu, "Do you have any money now?"
"No."
"Then what are you talking about," Manager Bian turned his head toward the door where Cao Youyi was standing, bowing he said, "Miss Cao, my apologies."

Qiutong had mentioned that Cao Jinhua had used these items to make payments at the Ministry of Education, which implied they were also a form of currency.
Items from the Disaster Zone were far from ordinary people, but as a bank manager, Manager Bian recognized the objects in Ma Lu's hands.
"Is this... Song Stone?"
