Actually, there was no need to make a fuss about dividing the money at this kind of gathering. A phone call or a bank transfer during the day would have been so much more convenient.
Panzi's original intention was to bolster Han Lie's presence, a gesture of goodwill.

With things having come to this point, Big Brother Pan could only simplify matters and try to add a little flourish.
Old Pan tapped on the table. Once everyone quieted down, he solemnly handed Han Lie an envelope.
"Little Han, open it and have a look."
Han Lie opened it with a chuckle. Inside was a check with many zeros—eight figures in total, a neat 10.88 million Dayang.
Doing some quick mental math… hey, isn't that a bit too much?
Han Lie looked up. "Uncle Pan…"
He had barely started speaking when Old Pan interrupted him. "We agreed on this before. Take it without worries!"
