2024-10-29 19:42:56" What's going on here? " a stern voice interrupted them from behind.
The security guard immediately turns to face the interlocutor, who turns out to be the bank manager.Then he hastily faked a smile.
" Mr. Bauer, " he said, lowering his eyes.
As for Quantin, he couldn't help but feel a twinge in his heart as he looked at the bank manager.
The next second, director Bauer surprised Bernard Trapp by bowing to him.
" Mr. Bernard, it is an honor to welcome you to our bank.Thank you for honoring us with your presence."
Bernard smiled, feeling a sense of satisfaction at director Bauer's deference. After all, he amassed a fortune that now exceeds even his wildest dreams.
His suit is cut to perfection, made from the best materials money can buy.
A diamond-encrusted watch shines on his wrist, symbolizing his wealth and success.
People admire him and think he is a self-made man.
But Bernard was hiding a dark secret. He stole money from his own father to fund his rise. This decision never haunted him since he convinced himself that in order to achieve his goals, it was necessary to ruin his own father's wealth.
And when Director Bauer bowed to him, he couldn't help but feel great pride because he was the richest man in the bank and everyone knew it.
" I'm also happy to be here and thank you for coming to welcome me in person," Bernard said, pretending to be humble.
The bank manager continued to smile slightly.
" You are undoubtedly a very important customer for our bank but in fact I came to welcome another very important customer," he added, radiant.
Immediately, Bernard is taken aback. He thought he was the bank's most important customer. Nevertheless, he remains cordial and tries to keep smiling.
The manager Bauer then turns to the security guard.
" So; What seems to be a problem here? " He asked, in a stern voice.
The security guard points fingers at Quantin.
" This man wants to meet you but I don't trust him. I think he's a beggar and he's trying to sow discord."
Quantin was furious at this accusation.
" I'm not a beggar," he protests.
" It was Peter Typson who sent me here to confirm my bank account because a large sum of money was to be deposited in it and he told me very clearly to speak to Director Bauer. "
Immediately, Bauer, Bernard and Mirenda look at Quantin with skepticism.
" Peter Typson ? The Director of US INVESTMENT GROUP? " Bernard Trapp reacted with astonishment.
" I don't think Quantin knows what he's saying. If not, how can the director of US INVESTMENT GROUP know a floor cleaner like him? " Mirenda added.
" Do you have proof of what you say or documents justifying that you have a bank account with us? " Bauer said.
" Yes sir. I think I can justify myself. " reacted Quantin.
Then he rushes to search his pockets for a card.
Meanwhile, director Bauer looked at him carefully, then reluctantly nodded.
" Okay ! We will solve your problem."
Mirenda, who was standing nearby, can't help but make a derogatory comment.
" I'm convinced your 02 dollars are safe in this bank," she said with a sneer.
" So you should stop bothering us because of your dollar crumbs," she added.
Quantin's face blushed with anger and humiliation.
" Mirenda ! I'm telling the truth and I deserve you to speak to me with a little respect please."
" There is indeed money in my bank account and I just have to confirm it," he insists, disgruntled.
Quantin particularly hated Mirenda humiliating him in front of Bernard Trapp, a businessman who watched the whole scene with amusement.
" You don't deserve respect. Look at yourself. You're so poor that you can't even dress properly to come to the bank. Plus, you make me want to vomit. " Mirenda reacted angrily.
" I'm very sure you didn't even wash yourself before coming here and you dare to ask for respect. You make me feel bad." Then she bursts out laughing.
Quantin felt his face redden under the effect of humiliation and then preferred to remain silent.
Bernard Trapp observes the conversation with amusement.
" I'm curious to see what you have in your bank account, Quantin. You're just a floor cleaner, after all. "
At this moment, Quantin reacts.
" Don't underestimate me, sir. I may be a cleaner, but I have big dreams. "
" Calm down ! I will take care of your bank account and see what happens. " Director Bauer said, speaking to Quantin.
" To get started, give me your credit card." Bauer continued.
" Here it is ! " Quantin replied immediately, taking out his bank card from his pocket.
" What proves that he is the owner of this bank card? Maybe he stole it. " Miranda intervenes
Manager Bauer takes the card anyway and gives it to one of the bank employees.
While they waited for the verification process to be completed, Quantin moved from one foot to the other, not feeling comfortable in this luxurious bank.
Mirenda, who was standing next to Bernard, watched the scene mockingly.
Finally, the employee returned with the card.
" There's actually $150 billion in that bank account," he said, handing the bank card to Director Bauer.
" What? " Director Bauer suddenly reacted.
" I confirm that there is $150 billion in this gentleman's bank account," the employee repeated, pointing to Quantin.
Director Bauer's eyes widened in astonishment.
" It's unbelievable."
Then he looked at the card, Quantin, and then the card again.
" Can I see your ID ? " The director Bauer asked, still skeptical.
Quantin nodded and took out his ID card.
" Here it is " he said with a little anguish.
Director Bauer took the card and studied it for a moment before looking up at Quantin.
" I believe we need to confirm your identity."
Then he called security guards. and several of these guards surrounded Quantin.
" Follow these gentlemen. " he said, looking curiously at Quantin.
Quantin was handcuffed and at that moment he felt a lump in his stomach.
" What's going on? Is there a problem? " He reacted, not understanding why he was handcuffed.
He had never been in trouble with the law before, and the thought of being handcuffed made him nervous. However, he always tried to appear calm.
As Quantin followed the security guards, Mirenda called him out.
" Quantin ! It will teach you not to bother people in a bank anymore. Your place is in the school canteen, not here."
Immediately, everyone in the bank burst out laughing.
Bernard joined the mockery.
" And most importantly, enjoy your time in prison because I believe you will stay there forever."
" Of course, he will stay there for a long time, because he is poor. Besides, the prisons are dirty and someone has to clean them up. " reacted Mirenda
" He hasn't finished cleaning the school canteens and he's going to clean the prisons too? I think life is so unfair to poor Quantin," replied Bernard Trapp with a laugh.

Quantin stood by Director Bauer's side, trying to keep his calm even though he was thrilled about the security guard's dismissal." He really deserves to be fired," he said angrily.Suddenly, he remembered the upcoming university ball." Now that I have a lot of money, I won't be afraid to go to that ball," he said." But I need a proper suit for such an event because I can't go there with the same dirty clothes I wear all the time," he thought.At that moment, he approached Director Bauer to get his attention." Excuse me, Director Bauer, I just remembered something. There's a ball at the university that I want to attend, but I have nothing to wear. Do you know where I could buy a suit? " he asked kindly.Director Bauer thought for a moment and then replied with a smile." Of course, Mr. Quentin.

At that moment, Quantin turned around and discovered that it was Brad, one of Harvey's friends, who was standing in front of him." What is he doing here?

The saleswoman who was nearby noticed his hesitation." Is everything alright ? " she asked kindly.Quantin quickly regained his composure." Yes, I'm fine," he answered confidently.Brad, on the other hand, seemed just as surprised to see Quantin in this luxury store." Well, well, well, look who I see," he teased." What are you doing here, Quantin? " he added.Quantin replied firmly." I came to do some shopping. And you? Are you here to bother me? "" Shopping ? Am I dreaming or what? " Brad sneered."

I don't understand your hostility towards me. I just wanted to know what was wrong," Quantin replied, rubbing his cheek, surprised and confused." Your credit card has been declined. There are no funds in this account," Quantin's saleswoman explained with discontent." Probably he gave us a fake credit card. I was right to want to kick him out," Brad's saleswoman added.Suddenly, Quantin was shocked by their statements." What? That's impossible. There must be a mistake. I never used this credit card, but I just confirmed recently that there's a large sum of money in the account. Please try again," he said with despair." We don't need to try again. That would be a waste of time. Your card is either fake or empty. However, you will explain yourself to the cops. T

I find myself in a difficult situation. I have 150 billion dollars on my bank card, and strangely I discover that this card is fake or empty. What can I do?

" So, why are you here? " asked Quantin, scrutinizing Peter Typson carefully." Mr. Quantin ! The REYNOLDS family recently acquired this hospital, and I have been tasked with discussing some commercial proposals with the director," replied Peter Typson in a calm and composed voice." Very interesting. And what kind of agreement could the REYNOLDS family offer to benefit this establishment? " asked Quantin, with his eyebrows furrowed in anticipation of an answer."

We didn't know..." stammered the second saleswoman, her eyes brimming with tears." You didn't know what ? " Quantin asked with biting cruelty." That I was so rich?
