Bella was extremely efficient. While Qiao Mei and Xia He were still sleeping, the auction tickets, Qiao Mei’s winnings and the ownership transfer documents for Shen Zhou’s subsidiary company were all delivered to the house.
Da Dong had never seen such a big pile of money in his life. The bodyguards’ monthly salary was only 1,500 dollars each, which was just slightly higher than a normal worker’s salary. If they wanted to earn the amount of money piled in front of them, it would probably take them a lifetime…
“Heavens… Did Miss Pu win all this on her own? Why don’t we go to the casino to play a few rounds too? If we can also earn as much money as Miss Pu! Won’t that mean that we can quit and go home!” Da Dong said in shock as he looked at the money on the table.
“Forget it! Gambling can lead to bankruptcy! I’m guessing that this is only the tip of the iceberg. That document must be the main highlight!” Xiao Bei said excitedly as he pointed at the document file.
“All of you don’t know anything. Yesterday, our lady boss won a bet against Young Master Shen. She not only won money, but also Young Master Shen’s company. It’s said that Young Master Shen still doesn’t dare to go home up till now, scared that his father will break his legs!” Xiao Xi said happily.
“How do you know so much?” Da Dong asked curiously.
“I know a lot of things! You must not have noticed the badge our lady boss is wearing at the waist!” Xiao Xi said.
“Who will look at the lady boss’s belt for no reason! I must tell the boss about this! That you’re always staring at the lady boss’s jewelry!” Da Nan said.
“Please! Am I that kind of person? I only looked at that badge! That’s the badge of that demoness, Bella! And it’s the gold one! Our lady boss is even more powerful than our boss! I’ve only heard some stories about Bella from my seniors, but this is the first time I’ve seen the actual badge with my own eyes,” Xiao Xi said excitedly.
Bella rarely gave her badges away, but people talked about it all the time. Bella’s badge came in a total of four colors, namely gold, silver, copper and iron. These four colors corresponded to the four different ranks in her organization.
All the members of Bella’s organization had a tattoo of a spider rose on the favorite part of their bodies. Every year, there would be an assessment, which was also known as the martial arts competition. The members would be ranked after the competition and each member would be given a badge corresponding to their rank to give to the person who was most important to them.
This also represented Bella’s promise to them, that she would always protect the most important and beloved person in their lives.
Bella had put aside a badge for Jack, but he felt that it was too cumbersome to wear it, so he returned it to Bella. Even without the badge, everyone knew that Jack was under Bella’s protection.
Qiao Mei only woke up in the afternoon. The weather outside was quite good and Qiao Mei thought about getting a dog so that she could bring it out for a walk with the children. It would be quite nice to sit on the lawn with Xia Zhe and watch the children playing with the dog.
“Have you had your meal?” Qiao Mei asked the bodyguards as she walked downstairs.
“Yes we have! Auntie Zeng has already made dinner for you. Do you want to eat now?” Dadong asked earnestly.
“Not for now. Please get me a glass of warm milk.” When Qiao Mei turned around and saw the table full of money, she was a little stunned and thought that she was dreaming.
She did not expect Bella to give her money in such a simple and crude manner.
Perhaps she had given Bella the wrong impression yesterday, making Bella think that she liked to feel filthy rich.
“Deposit all the money into the bank account tied to the bank card which Fang Chen gave me. You can go tomorrow since it’s already too late today. Also, please notarize this document for me,” Qiao Mei said as she signed on the document.
“Yes, Miss Pu,” Da Dong replied.
Xia He only woke up an hour later. She felt refreshed after a good night’s sleep and her stomach was growling. She walked downstairs and said, “How long have you been awake?”
“Not too long,” Qiao Mei said as she looked at the list in her hand.
This list contained all the items which were up for auction tomorrow. It clearly stated the base price and where each item was sourced from. This was Qiao Mei’s first time participating in an auction.
“Are these the things sent by the person named Bella?” Xia He asked.
“Help me keep those tickets on the table. If I forget all about it, neither of us will be able to enter the auction tomorrow. Take a look at the list and see if there’s anything you like. I’ll give it to you as a present,” Qiao Mei said..
