52: Chapter 52: The ex-girlfriend is stunned! The best friend is dumbfounded!
"Fine, then 5 million it is." Shen Wang nodded. Since Xin Quan did not haggle, he would not raise the price either.
"Right, right, right!" Xin Quan nodded repeatedly. "Big Brother, give me your bank account number, and I will transfer the money to you right now!"
Shen Wang recited his bank account number.
Xin Quan operated his mobile banking app, and after a moment, he turned the screen toward Shen Wang for confirmation.
Shen Wang took a look and nodded.
Xin Quan pressed the confirm button.
Almost in the next second, the Xiaomi 11 that Shen Wang had placed on the table went "ding-dong."
Shen Wang picked up his phone, unlocked it, and opened the deposit notification text message sent by the bank.
【Bank of China】 Your account ending in XXXX completed a transfer transaction of RMB 5,000,000.00 on X Month X Day at X Hour X Minute, balance...
A five followed by six zeros, clear as day! Five million! It had really arrived!
Even though he was mentally prepared, when he saw that long string of zeros added to his account with his own eyes, Shen Wang's heart could not help but skip a beat.
He put his phone away and smiled at Xin Quan. "Money received. Pleasure doing business with you!"
"Pleasure! A great pleasure!" Xin Quan excitedly shook Shen Wang's hand. "Big Brother, if you have any other good items in the future, please remember to contact me! I will definitely make sure the price satisfies you!"
"Definitely." Shen Wang agreed with a smile. Come to think of it, he might actually need Xin Quan in the future.
With the transaction complete, Xin Quan exchanged a few more pleasantries before leaving, satisfied, clutching the sword case.
Shen Wang saw them to the door, closed it, and turned back to the room. However, the moment he turned around, he was startled.
He saw that Lin Weiwei and Su Qing, who had just been dawdling while packing their things, were now standing there motionless, as if immobilized by the Monkey King's freezing spell!
Lin Weiwei was still holding one of her sweaters, but her movements had completely frozen. Her cute face was filled with shock, disbelief, and... an extremely complex expression.
Su Qing, beside her, was even more exaggerated. Her sexy little mouth was unconsciously slightly agape, enough to fit a 4.8-centimeter diameter egg.
The whole room fell into an eerie silence. The conversation between Shen Wang and Xin Quan just now, and the five-million-yuan transaction completed so casually... the two of them had heard it clearly.
A broken wooden box sold for five million?! Shen Wang... when did he acquire such a skill?
"Hey, are you two done packing yet? If you are done, get lost!" Shen Wang's words dragged the two women out of their shock.
If this had been a few minutes ago, hearing Shen Wang speak in such a tone, they would have already fired back with full force. But at this moment, neither of them could care about Shen Wang's terrible attitude.
Su Qing opened her small mouth. The usually sultry woman now had a strangely cute, contrasting charm.
"Shen... Shen Wang, you... you wouldn't be... selling 'that kind of thing', would you?"
In Su Qing's mind, only 'that kind of thing' could be sold in a small box for such a terrifying price. Thinking of this possibility, her gaze toward Shen Wang even carried a hint of fear.
Shen Wang was amused by this contrasting sultry woman. "That is right. Since you two have discovered it, I have no choice but to silence you."
Believe it or not, Su Qing was actually startled. She shrank back, the aura of a sultry woman instantly collapsing, and she truly revealed a hint of pitiful vulnerability.
However, Lin Weiwei, standing to the side, had her brain spinning rapidly after the initial shock.
She had been dating Shen Wang for over a year, did she not know Shen Wang? A plain, ordinary office worker, average family background, frugal lifestyle, had not changed his phone in four years. How could he possibly be some hidden big shot?
Impossible! Absolutely impossible! A thought instantly flashed through Lin Weiwei's mind. Acting! Shen Wang must be acting!
He knew she was coming to pack her things today, so he deliberately put on that sloppy appearance to gain sympathy, and then found two "actors" to stage a "sky-high price transaction" play.
That was 5 million! The whole transaction process took less than 10 minutes! It was just too fake!
Shen Wang was merely trying to win her back this way, or... at least regain some face in front of her? Right! It must be like that!
Having figured this out, the bit of shock Lin Weiwei felt earlier instantly vanished. She even became even more angry and disdainful!
"Shen Wang! You are really something! To show off in front of me, you really went to great pains!"
"First, you made yourself look like a stray puppy to act pitiful, and then you found two shills to play along with your acting?"
"Five million? Have you ever even seen what five million looks like? Why did you not say fifty million?"
"Do not think that just by finding two people to pretend to look around and then faking a transfer, you can fool me, Lin Weiwei? Do you take me for a three-year-old child?"
"I am telling you, the more you do this, the more childish, ridiculous, and pathetic you appear!"
"Real men speak with strength, not with these low-class scams!"
Upon hearing Lin Weiwei's analysis, Su Qing suddenly felt enlightened! That is right! That makes sense!
She immediately resumed her haughty, sultry pose and chimed in: "Shen Wang, I did not expect your character to be so poor! It is one thing to be poor, but to engage in such fraudulent means? It is truly disgusting—disgusting to the core!"
"Do you think this is cool? That it would make us look at you with admiration?"
"I am telling you, you will only make us look down on you even more! You are a lost cause!"
"Being poor is not your fault, but being poor and still so vain, so pretentious—a man like you deserves to be a loser for life!"
"And silencing us? Who are you trying to scare? If you have the guts, try touching me!"
The two of them went back and forth, like two machine guns, firing wildly at Shen Wang. Clearly, they wanted to regain the face they had almost lost just moments ago.
Thinking about how they had almost been fooled by this trash of a man, they both felt a surge of anger!
Facing this onslaught of insults and skepticism, Shen Wang was not even angry; instead, he found it somewhat amusing.
He just watched their performance calmly, and once they had finished their rant, he slowly picked up the phone on the table. Then, he held the interface of the bank deposit text message he had just received right in front of them.
As if they had been strangled, Lin Weiwei and Su Qing's insults came to an abrupt halt! Their gazes were instantly locked onto that long string of numbers, and their eyes widened once again!
It is real... and there is the official bank number... could it... could it actually be real?
But this thought only lasted for a split second! Lin Weiwei shook her head violently: "Fake! It must be fake! There are so many scam messages nowadays, what is so hard about forging a bank text message?"
"Shen Wang, do not think you can fool me with these low-level tricks! I just broke up with you, how could you suddenly have five million? This is absolutely impossible!"
Su Qing also did not want to believe that her best friend had a millionaire ex-boyfriend. "Right, right, right! It must be fake! Lin Weiwei, do not believe him!"
Shen Wang watched them stubbornly refusing to admit the truth, and without wasting words, he tapped his finger on the screen a few times, opening the official mobile banking app.
Then he turned the phone screen toward the two women, who were stupid enough to belong in a museum. 【Current Balance: ¥ 5,002,386.52】
