Chapter 6 Balance: Eighty-Seven Thousand

  Ma Tong took out 49,000 and put it in his bag, then came to the ATM area. Seeing that one of the ATMs was empty, he quickly went over and inserted his bank card into the card slot. He tried again and again, but it got stuck. Ma Tong looked at the screen and saw a line of words that almost made him faint: "Card balance: 870,000 yuan"!

  Who is so careless? Actually left a bank card with a balance of 870,000 yuan in the ATM?

  Ma Tong stood by the ATM for half a day, but no one came to look for him. At this point, he was at a loss, and for a moment, he even had an impulse to withdraw 200,000 yuan from the card...

  However, reason finally prevailed over the devil. He clicked "return card" on the ATM screen and took out the card that had been ejected. Then he walked to the bank security guard and said: "Hello, security officer, I found a card from your bank at the ATM." As he handed the card to the security guard.

  Because he is a security guard himself, he has always been very polite to his peers.

  The bank security guard seemed to have never seen anyone so polite, and a smile suddenly appeared on his originally very serious face. He said warmly: "Sir, you are really a good person! Please follow me to register! I think the owner will be very grateful when they find out!"

  "No problem!" Ma Tong nodded and said: "When I picked up the card, there were still 870,000 yuan on it. Later, I hope Security Officer can help me prove that I didn't touch the money inside!"

  The bank security guard's hand holding the card trembled for a moment, but the smile on his face became even more enthusiastic: "So much money! You wait a minute, I'll go find our director, maybe we'll even send a commendation letter to your unit!"

  Before long, a middle-aged woman in her forties, slightly plump, came to Ma Tong's side and warmly extended both hands: "Hello sir, I am Feng, the business director of the North Gate branch. Thank you very much for your honest behavior. Please come with me to register over here."

  Ma Tong stretched out his hand and shook hands with Director Feng: "Alright, no problem!"

  Ma Tong left his phone number and home address as required by the bank, and finally added: "My mobile phone is broken, so it can't be reached for the time being. I'll go buy a new phone in a while!"

  Director Feng smiled and said, "No problem, is there anything else I can help you with? I'd be happy to assist!" It was clear that this aunt had a good impression of Ma Tong, the honest young man.

  "This," Matou said with a bit of embarrassment, "there's actually something I need your help with. When I came to withdraw the money earlier, the staff said that if it exceeds 50,000, I need to make an appointment in advance, so I wasn't able to withdraw all the money I needed... what do you think..."

  "No problem! Leave it to me!" Feng Director replied very succinctly before Ma Tong had even finished speaking.

  When Ma Tong held the remaining 18,000 yuan in his hands, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

  It's really easy to get things done when you have connections!

  When Deng Tong walked out of the bank and got into Lü Dahai's car, Lü Dahai was already extremely impatient: "Good kid, it took you an hour to withdraw money, are you withdrawing money or printing money?"

  "If I could print money, it would be great!" Ma Tong told Lü Dahai about what had just happened at the bank.

  "You're absolutely right! Even if we starve to death, we can't take that dirty money! You truly are my good brother!" Lü Dahai burst into loud laughter and gave Ma Tong another punch. Seeing Ma Tong's painful expression, he couldn't help but laugh again with great relish.

  Ma Tong also laughed: "That's who I am? Honest and reliable young master, is there?" As he said this, Ma Tong suddenly thought of the golden toilet again, and his heart felt a pang of gloom.

  "What's going on now? Are we heading straight to the company?" Lü Dahai hailed a taxi.

  "I'll go to the mobile business hall to buy a cell phone for myself, my cell phone also broke last night, in case the company calls me and can't get through, they will think I ran away!" Ma Tong said with a bitter smile.

  "Really?"

  Ma Tong spent 200 yuan to buy an old Nokia phone at a mobile business hall, replaced the card and turned it on. He had dinner with Lü Dahai at a random place, and after dinner, he came to the company in Lü Dahai's car.

  As soon as they got off the car, they saw Yu Bu Sheng standing at the gate looking around. The two walked up to him and Ma Tong asked: "Xiao Sheng, who are you waiting for?"

  "Wait for you!" Yu couldn't help but see Ma Tong extremely happy: "Tong brother, are you okay?"

  Ma Tong felt warm in his heart and smiled: "It's okay, no one is missing an arm or a leg! This time it dragged you guys down too!" Ma Tong knew that even if the company didn't pursue this matter further, these security guards from Lejia Company would definitely not get off easy. Whether they would be fined or not was hard to say, but they would definitely be severely disciplined.

  "It's nothing!" Yu Sheng suddenly lowered his voice and said: "Tong Ge, you don't know yet? Lü Dage beat Li Lianxin yesterday morning. He ran to Chen Zong's place yesterday to make a scene, saying he was going to sue Lü Dage and you!"

  "Huh?" Ma Tong looked at Lü Dahai with curiosity: "Although I also want to beat that kid, but I still want to ask: why?"

  Lv Dahai burst out laughing and said: "Nothing, I just don't like that little guy!"

  "It wasn't like that! Brother Lü was angry because Li Lianxin said behind Tong Ge's back that you were embezzling, that's why he took action!" Yu Busi hastily explained.

  "Shut up!" Lü Dahai scolded with a smile and gave Yu Bu Sheng a punch: "Hurry up and take over the class!"

  Zhuang Shi nodded heavily but didn't smile like Ma Tong did. Instead, he stood at attention and saluted: "Yes!" Then he turned around and ran away.

  "This kid is not bad!" Ma Tong said, looking at Yu Bu Sheng's back, to Lü Da Hai.

  "That's right! And don't even look at who brought him here!" Lv Dahai was pleased: "This kid, if he were a soldier, would definitely be a good one!"

  "What's going on?" Ma Tong glanced at Lü Dahai with disdain.

  "What's going on?" Lü Dahai was perplexed.

  "It's about beating Li Lianying!"

  "What else can be done? Fines, medical expenses! Bah! It's just a small matter. If this were to happen in the army, I would have him court-martialed!" Lü Dahai said disdainfully.

  Ma Tong said somewhat speechlessly, "If it weren't for your stinky temper, you, a special reconnaissance soldier, would have gone to the group to be a security manager long ago. Why bother wasting time with me?"

  Lü Dahai sneered even more: "You dare to mention that the monk has no hair, if it weren't for you, this self-respecting guy, beating up the department head who wanted to take advantage of your girlfriend back then, you would at least be a white-collar worker now. Do you still need to follow me, brother, as a security guard?"

  "That's right, one can lose his head and shed his blood, but he cannot lose face!" Ma Tong laughed: "Exactly, what did you say to my mom?"

  "I'll just tell Auntie that you're away on business and will be back in a few days!" said Lü Daqi.

  Ma Tong slapped his forehead and said, "What kind of crappy excuse is that? We're security guards, not bodyguards! And you're still going on a business trip? I was foolish to think you could come up with a decent lie for me!"

  "Then don't bother! As long as Auntie believes it, that's all that matters!" Lv Dahai said smugly: "Who says security guards can't go on business trips? Believe it or not, I'll let you go on a trip tomorrow!"

  Two people look at each other, and suddenly can't help but burst out laughing together, attracting countless strange glances.

  They don't care at all.

  Some happiness is beyond others' understanding, and it doesn't need to be understood by them either.

  It doesn't matter as long as you understand.
