Rebirth: Super Banking System

Chapter 50: Chapter 48: He’s the One Who Smashed it_1

"Li Kai, Wang Yan, what are you guys doing here?"

As Tang Qing and his group were about to take the elevator down, a voice came from behind. It took Tang Qing a while to react that there was someone he knew here. Only when he turned around did he realize it was Su Ziwang and it was no wonder he hadn’t recognized the voice. He had only spoken a few words with Su Ziwang in this lifetime.

Seeing Su Ziwang.

Tang Qing’s heart skipped a beat.

Damn.

This can’t be another dramatic coincidence, right?

Who the hell designed this plot twist?

God, please come take this guy away, he’s up to no good again.

He hadn’t seen Su Ziwang for a few days and Su Ziwang had even skipped the Monthly Exam. But considering what Su Ziwang did, Tang Qing didn’t feel the slightest bit pity for him. Whether in his past life or present, he harbored no goodwill towards Su Ziwang. People have to pay for their actions, hence his look of disgust towards Su Ziwang.

"What business is it of yours why I’m here? Is this hotel owned by your family?" Not waiting for Wang Yan and Li Kai to answer, Tang Qing retorted coldly. He wouldn’t let Su Ziwang ignore him without retaliation.

Su Ziwang’s face had stopped swelling by now, but his body still ached. Remembering being beaten up by the hooligans, his resentment towards Tang Qing intensified.

Until now, he only knew that Tang Qing should also have been beaten. Judging from the state of the hooligans, he assumed so. As for Tang Qing escaping injury-free from the hooligans’ besiege, he obviously didn’t believe it.

He couldn’t help but complain, if only Tang Qing had obediently taken the beating, he wouldn’t have suffered revenge from those hooligans. But now, with Wang Yan around, he didn’t dare to lash out, even though he felt somewhat more confident now.

At that moment, he still wasn’t aware of Tang Qing’s Monthly Exam result. Otherwise, he would have been eaten alive with jealousy.

Wang Yan and Li Kai also didn’t have a good impression of Su Ziwang. Their happy mood was instantly ruined upon seeing him.

Wang Yan was reminded of Su Ziwang throwing money to insult Tang Qing. She didn’t know about Su Ziwang being beaten into a pulp. As for Li Kai, he looked down on Su Ziwang for his conduct in their previous school and for his disgusting behavior during the class president campaign when school started.

"Tang Qing, of course it doesn’t belong to my family. I asked you guys out of concern, can’t you just respond politely?" Su Ziwang retorted angrily when he heard Tang Qing’s words. He originally wanted to curse, but with Wang Yan around he had to maintain his composure.

He knew that women like Wang Yan, who were well-bred and cheerful, didn’t like people who swore constantly. He wasn’t stupid, he had to hold his anger in. As for the incident where he was slapped in the face with money by Tang Qing, he knew that Wang Yan must have heard about it, but he didn’t think it was a big deal.

Is it a crime to be rich?

Is there something wrong with resolving problems with money?

Is it wrong to help ’struggling’ students?

Obviously not, at least in his mind. He thought that his family and Wang Yan’s were on the same social level. Although they were not part of the same circle, he believed their values were similar, and that there was no generation gap. To them, any problem could be easily solved with money.

"No, Wang Yan, Li Kai, let’s go." The elevator arrived, and Tang Qing was ready to leave with the other two. Even one more word with this person seemed like a waste of breath.

Upon hearing this, Wang Yan and Li Kai disregarded Su Ziwang and followed Tang Qing into the elevator.

"You...you can’t leave just yet." Su Ziwang was a high school student after all. Hearing himself being ignored, he immediately got riled up, hurried forward and blocked the elevator.

"Oh? Why can’t we leave? Are you the police, or is this elevator yours?" Tang Qing looked at Su Ziwang with disdain. There was no satisfaction in outsmarting someone like him.

"You...you..." Su Ziwang stuttered and couldn’t find any reason to make Tang Qing and the others stay. It was just a spontaneous reaction before; now he couldn’t find a valid reason to make them stay. Besides, who was he to ask others to stay?

Seeing the contempt in Wang Yan and Li Kai’s eyes, a surge of anger welled up in Su Ziwang’s heart. Suddenly an idea popped into his head.

"You guys haven’t paid yet."

Hearing this, Tang Qing was dumbfounded. This idiot, how did he come up with this reason? How did his mind work? He wanted to ask Su Ziwang if he was sure his IQ could meet the standard required to go outdoors.

But then again, being a high school student, it was understandable that his mental processing was a little slow.

"Pfft...

"Haha..."

Wang Yan and Li Kai first stunned, then couldn’t hold back their laughter. Tang Qing, however, having heard countless jokes in his previous life and having a high threshold for humor, merely chuckled lightly.

Su Ziwang saw them laughing uncontrollably and immediately realized he had come up with a stupid reason. The payment was supposed to be made on the first floor, so why was he blocking it on the ninth? His face turned red for the first time, and the more he thought about embarrassing himself in front of Wang Yan, the deeper his resentment towards Tang Qing grew.

"Xiao Su, what are you doing here? Why are you blocking the elevator?" A voice called from Su Ziwang’s side. Hearing it, Su Ziwang’s spirit lifted instantly. He had barely managed to tag along with a friend to this dinner, where most of the attendees were children of officials, while his friend was a rich second-generation.

After dinner, most of them went downstairs to sing while the two who had arrived later were still eating. His friend had asked him to stay with the two and serve them. Throughout, he’d done his best to flatter them, even getting praised by the richest second-generation at the get-together.
