The CEO's Wife Is Super Charming

Chapter 76: Chapter 75: No Business Sense at All

―――North City, Melody Harmony Branch.

Norman Bennett was in a meeting, patiently listening to the reports. His phone on his left lit up with an SMS notification, showing the card transaction record from the card Elliana Lyle held.

ZTE Bank: "Your bank card ending in 7860 successfully completed a payment of 2,000,000 RMB on October 29, 2019, at 9:18:21 AM."

Such a transaction wasn’t a big deal for Norman Bennett, so he didn’t pay much attention.

Less than ten minutes later, another transaction alert came, still 2 million RMB. Norman Bennett frowned slightly, wondering what that little girl was buying.

Ten minutes later, another transaction alert came, still 2 million RMB. Once again, within ten minutes, the man’s expression subtly shifted from confusion to increasing seriousness.

Wang Qian, the operation supervisor who had finished her report, noticed Norman Bennett’s face was sweating, unsure if the CEO was dissatisfied with the proposal or if she hadn’t been clear enough.

"CEO... what do you think?" Wang Qian cautiously asked again.

"The meeting will be presided over by the deputy today." Norman Bennett left with just these words and walked out of the conference room without saying anything more.

The remaining attendees looked at each other in shock, having never seen the CEO leave them halfway through before, speculating on what major issue had arisen.

Upon returning to his office, he saw a young man in a thick white hoodie sitting on the sofa. Who else could it be if not Zane Bennett?

"You’re here." Norman Bennett didn’t need to guess to know his brother’s purpose today, as this guy rarely showed up for no reason.

Zane Bennett immediately stood up, his gaze fixed on his older brother. It wasn’t until Norman Bennett sat down that he rubbed the back of his head and said, "Bro, can you lend me some money?"

"Hmm?" Norman Bennett was obviously a bit puzzled, thinking he guessed wrong, so he said, "Didn’t your sister-in-law give you 2 million not long ago?"

"Huh? Ah~ oh!" Zane Bennett took a long time to react, finally realizing that he had borrowed Elliana Lyle’s card, but she really hadn’t given him money!

Realizing borrowing money from Norman Bennett was out of the question, since his brother believed that annoying girl had given him money, he was genuinely in urgent need of it. Just when he didn’t know what to do, Raymond Wood knocked and came in.

Raymond Wood placed a stack of documents on the CEO’s desk and said, "CEO, these are urgent."
