Who is this?
Hua Hua looked at the number, didn’t recognize it at all, but the address showed international roaming: Barcelona, Spain.
Hua Hua was stunned for a mont, thinking hard, and was very surprised: "Brother Ling?"
The phone rang again; this ti, Hua Hua wisely stepped out of the private room to answer it. He was unexpectedly unable to contain his excitent: "Brother Ling, is that you?"
"Mm, it’s ." On the other end, the man’s voice was sowhat muffled, sounding like he was quite sleepy, the kind of voice halfway between asleep and awake seed quite approachable: "Happy birthday."
Just by listening to his voice, Hua Hua could guess that he had just woken up: "Thanks, Brother Ling, how did you know today is my birthday?"
"It’s in your profile."
Hua Hua made an ’oh’ sound, "Brother Ling, are you sleeping?"
"Just woke up, still a bit sleepy." There was a faint sound of footsteps on the other side, followed by the sound of drinking water, even the voice beca clearer, steady as a pine tree: "I just heard it seed very lively on your side, having a party to celebrate your birthday?"
"Haha, no, I just booked a private room with a few brothers for dinner and karaoke. Are you in Barcelona? If you were in Canada, I could invite you for a al, I haven’t thanked you for the last ti."
Ling Yin chuckled: "There will be opportunities in the future, co to Barcelona when you can."
"Sure, I enjoy watching the league, if I go to Barca, Brother Ling you must show around and treat well." Hua Hua pondered whether the black card was a gift from him but was embarrassed to ask in case it wasn’t, asking such a sudden question would be awkward, as if soone calls to wish you a happy birthday, and you roundaboutly start asking for a birthday gift.
So, Hua Hua chatted about trivial matters on the phone.
On the other hand, Ling Yin seed to sense his hesitance, "The bank just called , Hua Hua, the black card is my gift to you, it doesn’t an anything else. I saw on your Weibo you ntioned wanting a black card, and I happened to be arranging cards for two brothers recently, so I casually arranged one for you as a small token, no need to feel pressured."
Casually arranged one? Hua Hua’s mind was galloping with US Dollars.
Damn, he suddenly felt the wealth gap, thinking Brother Ling, how wealthy can you be to casually arrange one for ? This isn’t just a small token; this gift is way too extravagant.
Wasn’t he just an employee?
Are Charm World’s employees so well-off? Casually handling a black card, yet banks are extrely discerning in issuing them, in his own circle, only his eldest brother has one, while second, third, and fourth brothers don’t.
So Hua Hua spoke earnestly and directly: "Brother Ling, this gift is too valuable, I can’t accept it. I’m the type who spends money like water; having a credit card around, I won’t be able to control myself from swiping it at will."
Ling Yin thought he was worried about not affording it, and explained: "You don’t need to worry, just use it, the monthly bill will be sent to , you don’t need to pay it back."
"Ah, that’s not what I ant." Hua Hua’s mind buzzed, half-jokingly saying: "Brother Ling, you wouldn’t be thinking of keeping right? How could I let you pay my credit card bills, my brother would kill ."
"You seem very wary of your brother?" Ling Yin chuckled slightly from the other side.
