The unexpected student billionaire

Chapter six

He thanked James for his help so far as they both went their separate ways.He checked his phone and he noticed he still had two hours left before the class got started.His hands got hold of something inside his pocket.He remembers it was the golden customized debit card he was given.He was eager to test it.

On his way,he noticed a nearby bank along the road.He entered the banking hall of the bank.He went straight to the teller counter.

The teller lady,a woman in heavy makeup and a professional suit,saw Richard come in and said lazily, “How can I help you?”

She sounded cold.From her look on Richard,she felt he was somebody that was not worth her attention.

Richard was wearing a faded shirt and a black rough trouser,looking like a pauper.The woman acted uninterested,thinking it was just an insignificant customer.

Nevertheless,Richard did not mind her bad service and attitude. “I would want to perform a withdrawal,” he said sternly.

“Withdrawal?Don't you see the ATM over there?” The teller lady sounded not too pleased.Just meet someone on the queue to assist you if you don't know how to use it.I'm busy.”

She was so free that she could take a nap there if she wanted.Her attitude pissed Richard off,so he called out, “I demand to see the manager.”

Richard raised his voice. “Is this how your bank does things?Don't you know that customer is always right?I can't believe it!”

Hearing the noise in the banking hall,the branch manager hurried out. “What's going on?”

Seeing the branch manager and thinking she had reinforcement,the teller lady pointed at Richard. “Mr Jones,this youngman is here to cause trouble”

Mr Jones was alarmed,looking at Richard disdainfully. “What are you doing here?”

Richard smiled. “I would like to perform a withdrawal.”

Mr Jones frowned. “There are ATMs for withdrawing cash.Why come to the counter?”The manager and the teller lady were just the same,they sounded unappeased.

He did not allow what the manager said to get to him. “What if I would like to withdraw four million dollars?”

Four million dollars? The teller lady stared at Richard and took a closer look at him. From his outfit one could see that he was poor and could not afford an amount. “A classless pauper like you wants to withdraw four million dollars?

“This must be a hilarious joke.Do you mean four hundred dollars?Four million dollars is way above you.”

Mr Jones also did not believe Richard could be able to withdraw $4 million because he looked like a loser.

However he didn't want to completely write him off.He cocked an eyebrow and asked, “Do you really want to withdraw four million dollars?”.The teenager might look like a loser but sometimes it's hard to understand the way the rich live.That was the reason why he asked again.

Richard sneered. “Why else will I be here If not for withdrawing money? Or,do you expect me to play games here?

“I will have to inform my superiors for such a large amount of money"Mr Jones said differently, “Why don't you stay in the lounge and wait for a while?”

Richard noded, “No problem”.

The teller lady sneered. “Mr Jones don't tell me that you really think he has $4 million to withdraw, do you?”

“Shut up and knock off” Mr Jones was not too happy with her.He could tell from his experience that Richard was not joking.Richard was really going to withdraw 4 million dollars.He wouldn't have come all the way here to asked to withdraw 4 million at one go if he doesn't want too.He was eager to get into the good book of a rich kid like Richard.

The teller lady shut up immediately when Mr Jones scolded her.But she still had a disdainful look on her face.She did not believe that Richard had so much money to withdraw. 

But 30 minutes later,when she saw Richard carrying a sack of cash out of the VIP Lodge with Mr Jones following behind him respectfully, she was stunned her eyes were wide open.Did this loser really withdraw $4 million?

“Does he really have 4 million dollars,Mr Jones? The teller lady had not given up and asked the branch manager.

Do you want him to show it to you Mr Jones noted looking not too happy.Fortunately he was more observant and did not allow the way Richard looks to write him off.He could have lost such an important customer.

She knew the manager wouldn't be telling a lie so she stood surprised and opened her mouth.

“I apologize to you if my staff has said something that offends you Mr Richard” Mr Jones says it respectfully.

It will be clear to anyone that a person who could withdraw 4 million dollars in cash was a VIP customer.Mr Jones does not want to lose this VIP customer to other banks.

Richard tucked the sack of cash into the bag that Mr Jones had issued him and then left.
