Financial freedom starts with the pursuit of a cool female doctor

Chapter 149 Direct Credit Card Swiping
The question she hadn't yet asked was abruptly interrupted by the mood-ruining phone call, so Pan Yi had no choice but to put it back in her heart.

Actually, you don't need to ask this question to know the answer, do you?

It has been four years since I graduated from university, and I have never taken the initiative to contact Zhuo Tong or tried to learn about his life.

Furthermore, when his family experienced a major upheaval during his senior year of college, she didn't, like Xiao Lu, at least stand by his side as a friend.

"Yiyi, this phone..."

Su Momo didn't dare to make a decision on her own, so she wanted to ask Pan Yi's opinion first.

"Give it to him, it was originally his phone."

Zhuo Tong took the phone and answered it directly:
"Hello, Assistant Qi."

"Boss, you finally answered the phone! Why couldn't I get through before?"

Zhuo Tong glanced at Pan Yi, who looked apologetic, and then casually covered it up by saying:

"My phone fell into the gap between the booth sofa and I didn't notice it until the bar was too noisy."

"I see. I thought the boss was drunk and I was about to come in and help you back."

"Don't worry, I won't get drunk. By the way, is there something you need?"

"Oh, I just wanted to ask if you've seen Qianqian. She went in just now, and she hasn't replied to my message."

Zhuo Tong then turned to look at Chen Qianqian on the left. The latter immediately understood and glanced at her phone. Sure enough, there was a message from her best friend Qi Shuangxue, and she replied.

"She's right next to me right now, she just arrived a short while ago."

"Okay, then I won't disturb your interview any longer. Just let me know if you need anything."

"Okay, bye."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Qianqian held her phone, the screen showing her chat history with Qi Shuangxue.

She had just replied to the other party's message and was now telling Zhuo Tong that she had taken care of everything.

"Chen Qianqian is too sensible, isn't she? She doesn't even need to say anything; she knows what to do."

"If it weren't for her figure not being as good as Qi Shuangxue's, she would be the most perfect top employee."

"However, every woman has her own unique charm, which is also good. You just have to be careful not to be misunderstood."

Zhuo Tong put the phone back in his pocket, with no intention of putting it back in Pan Yi's bag.

After all, this little thing has caused me so much trouble tonight.

If I had kept my phone with me, at least I wouldn't be facing this awkward situation.

Just then, a stylishly dressed chubby boy walked over from the bustling crowd.

He had actually been waiting nearby, but seeing Zhuo Tong on the phone, he didn't rush forward.

Now that he has finished making the call, he can start a conversation:
"Excuse me, is this Mr. Zhuo Tong?"

"It's me, what's wrong?"

“I am ‘Xin’, which is the owner of this live house.”

"Hello boss, could you please add me on the phone so I can pay the bill?"

Zhuo Tong would never forget that he had promised to pay for all the expenses within three hours.

It just so happened that I triggered a 1.5x cashback on my spending, which was all free money.

"Okay, I'll send you the entire bill for you to review later, is that alright?"

"That's not necessary."

Zhuo Tong took out his bank card from the cardholder in his jacket pocket and handed it over.

"When customers pay, you can just swipe this card. The PIN is the last six digits of the card number."

I don't have the time to wait for him to slowly send out the bills and then transfer the money one by one.

Regardless of whether doing so would cause you to miss the cashback period, the sheer volume of messages you might receive is enough to give you a headache.

Give the bank card to the other party, and the customer can swipe it directly after making a purchase. It saves time and effort, and also saves you from having to do anything extra.

"Isn't this... a bit unsafe? After all, if the funds in your account are very valuable, I'm worried it might cause you unnecessary losses."

"It doesn't matter, just start from the time we agreed on before, and count to three hours."

"After three hours, you can put the card away and then deliver it to my place."

Zhuo Tong wasn't worried at all about whether the other party would steal money from her bank card.

After all, as long as the other party swipes their card at the bar during the cashback period, it counts as a purchase, as long as they don't withdraw money from an ATM.

Besides, I can easily distinguish between swiping my card for purchases and withdrawing cash, so I'm not afraid he might try anything.

"Don't be too strict about the timing, it's okay if it's a little late. Just drop it off at the front desk of the Wangting Hotel, they all know me."

"Alright, Mr. Zhuo, thank you for your patronage tonight. You will always be our most valued guest, and I always welcome you back."

Zhuo Tong nodded slightly, offering no further response.

I came here tonight purely on a whim, simply because I accepted Zhou Mingyuan's invitation.

To be honest, I'm not particularly interested in this place.

However, there are a few young girls who sing quite well... and their voices are very pleasant. If you have the chance, you can come and visit occasionally.

Or like tonight, have a drink, play games, and connect with friends.

Of course, it's best if tonight's farces don't happen again.

After the bar owner left, Zhuo Tong also prepared to leave, since it was already past 10:30 and he hadn't gotten anything important to do that night.

"It's almost time for me to go. I still have to go back to interview new employees, so I won't stay any longer. Let's have a drink together sometime."

"Okay, Brother Tong, we'll see you out."

Zhou Mingyuan and Aze stood up together.

Of all the people here tonight, the two of them seemed to get along the best.

Pan Yi is an exception; she is a special case whom I have known for a long time.

Before leaving, Zhuo Tong glanced at Pan Yi, who had remained silent, and said something that sounded a bit like a corny, domineering CEO:

"I haven't changed my phone or WeChat. If you're still the same as before, you can talk to me if you don't know how to write any accounting entries."

After saying that, he left without looking back.

When old friends meet again, let's stop here.

Being too ambiguous is impolite; both parties should be given some time to reminisce.

After all, it's been so many years since we last met, and we need to readjust to the changes in each other.

Chen Qianqian was also sensible and didn't say a word the whole time, silently following Zhuo Tong.

When I first arrived, I didn't realize it. It wasn't until I came to my senses that I realized how much trouble I had caused my boss.

Xue'er hadn't agreed to it beforehand; she was invited by a friend, and most of the people there were strangers, right?
How come this guy is such a ruthless character right from the start, someone who's more than friends but not quite lovers?

I almost got killed by my boss, so I'll never dare to do abstract stuff again.

Already honest.

Zhuo Tong walked ahead, followed by Chen Qianqian, but the two did not exchange words.

Countless people cast their gazes along the way.

There's no way around it; with Chen Qianqian's figure and attire, it's hard not to suspect that she's the daughter who went to the bar to find her father who hadn't come home all night.

"Boss... um, can I hold your hand?"
