Huang Jingming was slightly startled. He couldn't tell whether Xue Chen's words were true or false. If they were false, and they weren't greedy for salary, what was their purpose?
He hesitated for a moment and said: "Mr. Xue is so young, but he is so ambitious and sentimental, which makes me ashamed and admires him."
After Huang Jingming exchanged business cards and walked away, Ning Xuanxuan raised the corners of her lips with a disdainful arc and said with a smile: "You just use this kind of nonsense to fool others. I don't believe it. You may have some evil intentions in mind.
Talk to me."
Xue Chen chuckled, he naturally had his own plans. Since the black ancient jade in his arms had absorbed the spiritual energy twice, it became very difficult to absorb the spiritual energy for the third time.
During this period of time, he has not missed an opportunity to absorb the aura of several treasures at the appreciation party, the aura of the antiques recently pledged by Daxing Pawn Shop, and even the aura of Xu Ming's snow bamboo painting just now.
coming.
But even if he is so diligent, the spiritual energy in the black ancient jade is only about 30% more, which is still less than 70%. He still needs a lot of precious antiques for him to absorb.
Auction houses are undoubtedly the place where high-quality antiques are most likely to be found. They are definitely more valuable than the antiques found in pawn shops and ordinary antique shops, and naturally have more aura. That's why he had the idea of taking on a temporary job as a technical consultant.
Xue Chen was already accustomed to Ning Xuanxuan's contempt, and he said nonchalantly: "If you don't believe me, I'll knock you down. Even though I'm young, I'm very enlightened. I've always taken it as my responsibility to inherit the five thousand years of Chinese culture. I'm destined to leave a name for myself."
From Qingshi, Sister Xuan, I advise you to have a good relationship with me, maybe if you benefit from me, you will be included in the history books, and then you will make a lot of money."
"The more you talk about it, the more stinky and beautiful it becomes." Ning Xuanxuan laughed angrily.
At this time, the young girl who took out a painting by Xu Yang as a birthday gift came over and took Ning Xuanxuan's arm. Her big eyes, like two clear springs, smiled and said coquettishly:
"Sister Xuanxuan, I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you so much."
Ning Xuanxuan smiled and touched the little girl's head: "Qing'er comes to play with me when she misses her sister. You also know where I live."
"I would like to, but the college entrance examination is coming soon, the courses are too tight, and I don't have time." Ning Qing pouted, with a look of helplessness on her face, and then said: "By the way, I came here to ask you to play cards, Sister Xuan, let's go over there
Well, they are all waiting."
"You guys can play, I won't go." Ning Xuanxuan shook her head and refused.
"Sister Xuanxuan, come over. Brother Hao, Ning Yuan, and I haven't been together for a long time, okay..."
Ning Xuanxuan couldn't stand the little girl's pestering. She thought about it and nodded in agreement. At the same time, she didn't forget Xue Chen beside her: "Xue Chen, let's go together."
There is a special chess and card room in the villa. When Xue Chen followed Ning Xuanxuan and Ning Qing to the chess and card room, he saw all kinds of card tables in the spacious room. There was a table in the middle that could sit around ten people.
There is an oval green velvet-covered gaming table that will not be crowded by several people. The table is equipped with a card dealer and a pile of colorful plastic chips.
There were already five people sitting around. In addition to Ning Chihao and Ning Yuan from the Ning family, Xu Ming, whose expression had returned to normal, was also there, as well as two familiar second-generation people.
Seeing Ning Xuanxuan coming, several people enthusiastically asked Ning Xuanxuan to sit down. As for Xue Chen, they were deliberately ignored and completely ignored. No one paid attention to him.
Ning Xuanxuan looked back at Xue Chen, who was standing behind her, and pointed to the empty chair beside her: "Xue Chen, why don't you sit down and play?"
"I won't, let's see if you have fun." Xue Chen replied casually.
"I advise you not to play. Although we don't play too much, we can win or lose tens of thousands. It's normal to win hundreds of thousands. Your annual salary is only that much. If you lose accidentally, you will definitely lose.
Very distressed.”
A young man with a black earring sitting on Xu Ming's left hand skillfully cut the playing cards in his hand and looked at Xue Chendao with disdain.
Ning Xuanxuan frowned and looked at the young man, scolding: "Zeng Yulong, Xue Chen is my guest. You are not allowed to be so rude. This is what you learned when you studied abroad?"
The young man named Zeng Yulong was reprimanded several times by Ning Xuanxuan. His face looked a little ugly, but he did not retort and just snorted coldly.
"Mei Xuan, what you said is serious. Brother Yulong is just more straightforward and has no malice." As the eldest son and grandson of the Ning family, Ning Chihao, who looks mature and steady, said with a smile.
"Xue Chen, you sit down, I will win or lose," Ning Xuanxuan said forcefully.
"That's not necessary. Sister Xuan, if you lend me 10,000 yuan, I will risk my life to accompany you." Xue Chen sat down at Ning Xuanxuan's house and said with a playful smile in his eyes.
He is not a person who likes to cause trouble, but that doesn't mean he has no temper. Since he wants to force me to play, then I will play with you!
"Okay then." Ning Xuanxuan took out a brand new stack of 10,000 yuan from Kun's bag and handed it to Xue Chen.
"I won't play anymore, otherwise dad will scold me, so I'll be your dealer, hehe." Ning Qing said lively.
"Then what do we play?"
"Just play stud."
"Study? Well, although it's not as technically demanding as Texas, it's okay." Zeng Yulong said confidently.
Xue Chen has never played stud in real life, but he has also watched the movie God of Gamblers.
Stud is mainly popular in Southeast Asia and the southeastern coast of my country because the rules of Stud are simple and passionate, but it also contains certain technical components. As the God of Gamblers movie series became popular in the 1990s, the poker game Stud was also rapidly expanding. Popular.
He has only played a few games online, so he has some understanding of this gambling method and understands the rules.
Everyone exchanged their chips with Ning Qing through bank transfers or cash transactions. Except for Xue Chen, who only exchanged 10,000 yuan, the others started at least 50,000 yuan.
Ning Qing opened a new deck of playing cards, picked out two trump cards, carefully shuffled the cards, and put them into the dealer: "I want to deal the cards, please place your bet."
"For a small gamble, let's just start with a minimum of one hundred."
Ning Chihao was the first to throw out a hundred chips, and Xue Chen and others also followed suit.
Ning Qing slid out the cards from the card dealer and dealt them in front of everyone close to the table. After dealing out the dark cards, he dealt out another round of bright cards, and then said: "Sun Yao, your old King
Max, you place your bet first."
Sun Yao was a short, greasy-faced young man. He laughed and said, "Since I'm talking, I'll give you a thousand meanings."
Sun Yao's next player was Ning Chihao. He simply said "Follow" and threw out a thousand chips, followed by Ning Xuanxuan, Xu Ming...
When it was Xue Chen's turn, he looked around and covered an up card in his hand with a hidden card with a smile: "I give up and won't follow."
Soon, this round was over. Except for Xue Chen, even Ning Yuan, who had the smallest card with only one ‘’, followed.
After four bright cards and betting, the chips on the table had piled up into a small pile, about fifty to sixty thousand.
At the end of the fight, Ning Chihao and Zeng Yulong revealed their trump cards, and Zeng Yulong defeated Ning Chihao's two pairs with three jacks.
"Haha, I agree."
Zeng Yulong stood up with a smile and collected all the chips on the table in front of him. He simply divided the chips into several piles according to different denominations and placed them in front of him.
Ning Chihao shook his head and smiled, and said: "Yulong is really good at acting. I was deceived by you. You deliberately showed the look in your eyes that you wanted to give up, right?"
There was a hint of pride on Zeng Yulong's face, and he said: "It's just a little trick. When I was studying in the United States, I often went to Las Vegas to play. How can I win against those American Franklins without using a little trick?"
"Then you must have won a lot." Ning Yuan asked curiously.
"Well, it's okay." Zeng Yulong responded vaguely.
"It turns out that Yulong is still a master at the gambling table, so he must give us some concessions and don't let us lose too miserably." Sun Yao smiled.
"That's right, we all play in our spare time, and we're not good at it, but we can't compare to you." Ning Yuan also agreed.
Zeng Yulong smiled and said: "We are all good buddies, just hanging out together, how can we be so serious."
At this time, Ning Qing had already dealt the second round of cards, and Ning Xuanxuan's A was the highest, so she casually threw out a thousand yuan in chips.
The next one was Xue Chen. He covered the bright card in his hand again: "Give it up, I won't follow."
"Tch." Zeng Yulong snorted disdainfully.
In the subsequent third, fourth and fifth rounds, Xue Chen only placed a ante bet and never checked once.
In the sixth hand, the first bright card was clearly Xue Chen's old king, but he still had to fold it. At this time, Ning Yuan couldn't stand it anymore and mocked: "Are you going to just play the bottom today?"
Do you want to follow the bet? Ten thousand yuan is enough for you to play a hundred games."
Xue Chen, who was just about to fold his cards, paused for a moment and smiled: "Okay then, I'll go with one hundred."
When Xue Chen followed with one hundred chips, Ning Yuan immediately raised the bet to one thousand. When it was Xue Chen's turn, he could only add another nine hundred chips.
In the next second and third bright cards, Xu Ming and Zeng Yulong had the highest cards respectively. They both directly placed two thousand and three thousand chips. After Xue Chen followed, the 10,000 pieces in front of him
Less than half of the money chips are left.
Before the fourth bright card was dealt, there were still three players on the table, Xue Chen, Xu Ming and Zeng Yulong.
"It's interesting. Yulong's bright card is a pair of Aces and a 9, Xu Ming is a pair of hearts, and Xue Chen is a pair of kings and a jack. They all have a chance of winning. It just depends on who has better luck with the fourth bright card.
"Ning Chihao simply commented.
Ning Qing's little face flushed with excitement, and she dealt everyone the fourth bright card.
After Zeng Yulong took a look, he was the first to show it, it was an old ace!
"Wow, this is so lucky. The bright cards are three old aces." Sun Yao's eyes lit up and he shouted.
"You're lucky, you can't stop it." Zeng Yulong laughed, with a proud look on his face. (To be continued)
