141 The Virgin Islands Of The Caribbean Sea (1/2)
People living a secular life were subject to the mundane, such as Chen Fan, who owed Ma Rongtao 50 million cash and could now repay him.
Drawing back his mind from the electric eel, Chen Fan looked at the time and found that it was 10 o'clock. After paying back the money he owed, he should be able to come back for lunch.
Driving the car to the dock, Chen Fan controlled the electric eel to open the door and brought in the iron shell ship containing the money. Then the electric eel's head filled of black scales popped out of the water, pulled the steel vessel with its front claws, and carried it to the shore.
Fifty million. With 10,000 in a pile, he would need 739, 755 with interest.
The box he used to keep the ghost month incense was too small, so Chen Fan had to pull two sacks from the corner of the wall and put them in the trunk of the car. After having the electric eel take the iron boat away, he departed to Ma Rongtao's company.
”Is your President Ma in?” When he arrived at the reception hall of the Star Shipping Group, Chen Fan knocked on the black crystal front desk and pulled the female receptionist who was playing QQ farm back to reality from the virtual network.
”Hello, Sir. Our chairman is in the office. Would you like me to inform him?” Although the receptionist didn't know what Chen Fan's name was, she knew that, even though the young man looked very young, several times he had walked and chatted with the President.
”As long as he is around, I will go up and find him myself.” Chen Fan nodded with a smile and walked to the elevator.
”Wait a minute...” Just as the elevator was about to close, there was a clear, sweet voice coming from outside.
Waiting for Chen Fan to push the elevator door button, Wu Ruoyu, dressed in a black suit, came in distrustfully with a pile of thick files in her arms.
”Hi! I've come to see your uncle!” Chen Fan laughed, spread out his hand, and said to Wu Ruoyu, ”Which floor do you go to?”
”The same floor as you!” Wu Ruoyu snorted, and then her little white face faced away not wanting to see Chen Fan.
Pressing the fifth-floor button, Chen Fan wondered deeply in his heart, what is the matter with this little girl? She talked and laughed last time, but whenever they accidentally met alone, she always gave him a look!
Proud?
Chen Fan's thin mouth crumpled, and he tilted his head away too on purpose.
Pushing open the door of the chairman's office, Ma Rongtao saw Chen Fan come in with his niece and put down his paper with a smile, saying, ”Shasha, go and make two cups of tea.”
Ma Rongtao stood up, patted Chen Fan's shoulder, and said with a slightly blaming tone,” Xiao Chen, why didn't you let me know before you came. Join in for lunch later. I'll ask someone to make a reservation now.”
”It's okay,” Chen Fan rejected. He still has a younger person in the family to take care of!
”Uncle Ma, I came to pay back the money!” Chen Fan looked at Wu Ruoyu who was making tea with a sour face a distance away and lowered his volume and said, ”It's not in RMB. It is all in dollars, but I could not find anything to pack it in, so I used two sacks to pack them up.”
He won't say that I'm ashamed of carrying the sacks. He'll just ask two employees to bring it up.
Ma Rongtao was a brilliant man. He took only a second to understand Chen Fan's meaning. After laughing a little, he touched the telephone on the desk to call someone to come to the office.
”Here's your tea!” Wu Ruoyu put the cup in front of Chen Fan, and then gave him an annoyed look when Ma Rongtao was not looking and left.
By that time, two men in black suits walked into the office, and only five minutes after Chen Fan handed them the car key, they both carried the sacks in with weird expressions.
”Chen, where did you get so many dollars?” Ma Rongtao played with the 24K gold pen in his hands. ”Didn't you say that things had to be done? It hasn't been a month, and you're returning all the money with interest and in dollars?”
”Made a big deal the other day! ”Chen Fan grinned. ”Uncle Ma, how do you change your dollars? Is it very troublesome to exchange money at the bank?”
”The money I lent you last time was to buy a ship in a foreign country. If I wish to exchange a lot of dollars, I will exchange them through the bank of Macau's gambling center.” Ma Rongtao took a sip of tea and continued, ”Why, Chen? Do you want to exchange some?”
”A little left in hand, about 20 million!” Chen Fan hesitated and revealed only one-tenth of his property.
