Chapter 981
The receipt was the only way that he could get his reimbursement.
Because of this, Max was very angry when he heard that Charlie had already taken the receipt
away.
He had been waiting for this receipt in order to im for a reimbursement from hispany. If
Charlie refused to hand the receipt over to him, then he would not only be unable to earn money
from this meal, but h e would also lose one hundred thousand dors.
Wouldn''t he be making things worse in an already bad situation then? 7
As he thought about this, Max hurried back to the table angrily. When he saw Charlie, he quickly
asked," Charlie, did you go to the front desk to secretly issue a receipt for yourself? Hurry up and
give me the receipt now!" 7
Charlie replied indifferently, "This meal was paid for b y the two of us. What is wrong with me asking
for a receipt from the front desk? After all, I paid one hundred thousand dors for this meal. Did
you forget that?" 3
"You..." Max choked as he waspletely speechless. After a short while, he said angrily, "You do
not work o r have apany of your own. So, what are you going t o do with a receipt?" 1
Charlie smiled before he said, "Don''t you know that many restaurants nowadays deliberately refuse
to issue receipts to guests? If the restaurant does not issue any receipts, then the state’s tax
authorities would not be able to find out exactly how much money they make. If that is the case,
they won''t be paying their taxes and they won’t be contributing to the country then!" 1
As he spoke, Charlie looked around the table before he said to everyone, "Asw-abiding citizens of
our country, it is our duty to pay our taxes ording to thew. It is also our duty to ensure that
restaurants pay their taxes in ordance to thew. Don''t you all agree with me?" 1
Everyone nodded.
Stephanie said, "Some restaurants are really sneaky. If you don''t ask them for a receipt, then they
won''t pay for their taxes at all. Therefore, we have to ensure that these restaurants issue receipts in
ordance with thew so that they can pay their taxes to the state treasury." 2
Harvey also agreed as he said, "The catering and food industry is really very profitable. It would be
impossible for them to justify a tax evasion if they make such a huge profit.” 6
Joeyughed at the side before he said, "You can also talk to the person-in-charge at the
restaurant. If they don’t issue you a receipt, then you can ask them for a discount or a drink or
something like that. If a
restaurant that I’m dining at does not want to give me a receipt, I''d usually ask them to give me a
coke in return. Anyway, I can''t suffer a loss and allow them to take advantage of me.” 6
Charlie snorted as he said, "Joey, oh Joey. You’re really intelligent! I really want to learn more from
you!”
Joey thought that Charlie wasplimenting him. Therefore, he snorted before he said, "Let me tell
you, this is the wisdom of life.” 2
Max looked at Charlie and his expression darkened before he said coldly, "Don''t talk about all that
useless rubbish with me! It''s useless for you to keep the receipt anyway. Give me the receipt!” 1
"Why?" Charlie asked coldly. "Why is the receipt useless when it''s with me but why wouldn''t it be
useless in your hands then? All of us are enjoying a dinner here together tonight. Don''t tell me that
you are nning to take the receipt because you want to im reimbursement from your
company?" s
Max was stunned when he heard Charlie pointing out exactly what he was nning to do. He was a
little flustered as he said, "What nonsense are you talking about? I have the same thought and
mentality as you. I wanted the restaurant to issue a receipt so that the restaurant can pay their
taxes in ordance with thew!" 2
Charlie nodded and he gave him a thumbs up before h e said, "Max, I really did not expect you to
be such a responsible citizen too! Not bad. Not bad at all. Let me
give you a thumbs up."

As he spoke, Charlie took the receipt out of his pocket before he said, "The receipt is issued under
my name. This means that this receipt can no longer be used for any reimbursements. However, as
long as the receipt has already been issued, then the restaurant will have no choice but to pay their
taxes. Max, you don''t have t o worry about it. The restaurant will have to pay the appropriate taxes
for the two hundred thousand dors that we''ve paid for this meal." 6
Max was a little anxious and he blurted out, "Who asked you to issue the receipt under your name?"
2
The receipt has already been issued under someone else''s name. Even if Max got hold of the
receipt, he would not be able to use it to get any reimbursement a t all. Max felt as though his lungs
were about to explode as he thought about this.
At this time, Charlie smiled before he said, "You didn''t tell me not to issue a receipt anyway. Besides
that, I had already mentioned this earlier. We''re splitting the bill for dinner tonight anyway, so either
one of us will have the right to take the receipt from the front desk. It''s just a matter of who asked for
the receipt first anyway.” 7
After he spoke, Charlie had a magnificent expression 0 n his face as he said, "Why don''t we do this
then? We shouldn''t be arguing over a trivial matter such as who had asked for the receipt or who
did not ask for the receipt. Anyway, we''re the ones treating everyone to dinner tonight. It''s not as if
we are going to go back to ourpany to ask for reimbursement after we''re done with dinner
tonight anyway. So, I’m going to tear this receipt in front of everyone so neither of us will have the
receipt then. Will that be alright with you?"
Before Max could even respond, Charlie had already torn the receipt apart. 5
When Max saw Charlie tearing the receipt apart, he could feel blood dripping from his heart.
It was over. It was all over. The one hundred thousand dors that he had paid for this meal was
gone!
