Chapter 398: Chapter 398 The Balance in Your Card is Insufficient

"What did you say?"

Zhuang Rouhui’s face was a picture of shock, unable to believe what she had heard.

The clerk politely placed the bank card on the table, "I’m sorry, Ms. Zhuang, there is insufficient balance on your card."

Zhuang Rouhui’s eyes widened as she asserted, "That’s impossible! Swipe it again!"

The clerk looked somewhat helpless as she gazed at Zhuang Rouhui, who was holding bags of all sizes, and cautiously reminded her, "This is already the third attempt."

Zhuang Rouhui frowned, "Maybe there’s a problem with the card, try this one."

She pulled out a gold-colored bank card.

The clerk took it and tried again.

At that time, bank cards had just begun to emerge, with the main development being independent city branches of various banks rolling out their card services.

Most people still used passbooks.

But the gold card in Zhuang Rouhui’s hand was a testament to financial strength.

It was a bank card specially issued by the local bank for its major clients.

The POS machine beeped once, and the clerk returned the card with an embarrassed look on her face.

"I’m sorry, this card also has insufficient funds. Would you like to pay in cash instead?"

Zhuang Rouhui was a regular customer at the store, and she didn’t want to offend anyone, but the fact was the card really wasn’t working.

Annoyed, Zhuang Rouhui snatched the bank card from the clerk’s hand and dialed Li Fuhong on her hefty mobile phone.

In less than three seconds, the call was disconnected.

Zhuang Rouhui was furious, sitting on the sofa in the clothing store, dialing over and over again.

Finally, through her persistence, Li Fuhong answered the phone, sounding impatient, "What madness are you sprouting now?"

"Has the money in my bank account been transferred out?"

Li Fuhong snorted, "What do you mean ’your’ bank card? It’s my card. My company is in a tight spot recently, so I’ve transferred the money back to the company."

Zhuang Rouhui was so angry she nearly couldn’t catch her breath.

After Li Fuhong took Zhuang Rouhui to close two deals, Zhuang Rouhui felt it was because of her own financial luck and seized the opportunity to lay down some conditions.

Li Fuhong gave her these two cards and told her if she wanted anything, just swipe the card.

Zhuang Rouhui only knew there was money on the card but had never paid attention to whose name was on it.

She never imagined that one day Li Fuhong would transfer all the money out.

It was just an accident this time, yet Li Fuhong turned against her.

"What do you mean by this? I’ve made no small amount of money for you over the years. Are you trying to burn your bridges?"

Li Fuhong kept laughing coldly, "You made money for me? Just because you accompanied me on a few business trips?"

This incident also led Li Fuhong to start doubting whether the fortune-telling master’s words about financial luck were ever true.

Might Zhuang Rouhui have bribed the person, deliberately creating illusions and trickery?

Zhuang Rouhui was so angry she wanted to say more, but Li Fuhong’s patience had already run out.

"Enough, be thankful you have Ruyun and Ruyu, or else..."

Li Fuhong hung up the call, and Zhuang Rouhui’s chest heaved, she wished she could smash her hefty mobile phone down fiercely.

Fortunately, the last bit of common sense stopped her.

Mainly because if she really broke it, she didn’t have the money to buy a new one now.

Li Fuhong definitely wouldn’t give her any more money.

Zhuang Rouhui, grinding her molars, stood up and tossed everything in her hands to the clerk.

"These styles are outdated, I don’t want them!"

The clerk staggered from the impact and took several steps back to steady herself.

Watching Zhuang Rouhui’s arrogant departure, the clerk was speechless.

It wasn’t as if she hadn’t heard Zhuang Rouhui’s phone call—if you can’t afford it, just say so; why slander our products?

On the other hand, Yue Qingqing had also finished picking out her items.
