This time he took a plane to California to participate in an international poker competition. In order to celebrate that he could enter this international competition, he gritted his teeth and bought a first-class ticket. However, he felt a little distressed, so he thought of a way to purchase the plane ticket.
Make money back!
He set his sights on Andrew and Xue Chen. Since they were flying first class, they must be rich people, so when Andrew agreed to play cards with him, he was really happy. It was just as he expected. It only took half an hour.
In a matter of seconds, all the money for air tickets has been earned back.
He is a professional. If he wants to win an ordinary person's money through poker, it is easier than eating and drinking.
Now that he saw that Xue Chen wanted to play with him for a thousand dollars a time, he almost jumped up with excitement. He was eager for this. If he hadn't been worried that the stakes were too high and scared Andrew away, he would have proposed it long ago.
The three cards were turned over, and they were definitely three Aces.
Swish~swish~swish.
Three playing cards were moved rapidly on the smooth table by ten sensitive fingers, which made people feel dizzy. If they were not paying attention, they would not be able to distinguish the card they were originally focusing on.
Although Andrew stopped playing, he kept staring at the cards, his eyes moving back and forth, but Xue Chen just watched quietly.
"Okay, sir, please choose which one is the Ace of Hearts."
Three identical cards stopped moving and were placed side by side on the table, waiting to be picked.
"Xue Chen, the one on the far left must be it. I must have read it correctly this time." Andrew said with great certainty.
The young man in a sweatshirt pursed his lips and smiled faintly.
Xue Chen stretched out his hand and moved among the three cards. After glancing at the young man in a sweatshirt, he pointed at the leftmost card that Andrew had chosen and said slowly: "This one... must not be it."
Open it up, Black Heart A, it turns out not to be the case.
The expression of the young man in the sweatshirt changed slightly.
He placed his hand on the middle card again and said: "This one... is not the same."
The cards were opened, and it was an ace of clubs.
"I think I should have won." Xue Chen looked at the young man in the sweatshirt with a smile and asked, "Can you open it and see?"
The young man in the sweatshirt paused and said with a smile: "No, you won." He reluctantly took out a thousand US dollars from the wad of money he won and placed it in front of Xue Chen.
continue……
In the remaining four hands, Xue Chen easily picked out the wrong two cards, and Andrew won back all the money he lost, plus hundreds of dollars more.
The young man in a sweatshirt had sweat on his forehead, and his hands that moved the cards were no longer so sensitive, and even started to tremble a little.
After playing the fifth game, the young man in sweatshirt took a deep look at Xue Chen, his face was troubled, and he looked like he was about to cry. He lowered his head bitterly and said, "I won't play anymore."
Andrew cheered: "Xue Chen, I didn't expect you to have such good eyesight."
Amanda also got up early to watch, with a charming and sweet smile on her face.
"You really don't want to play anymore? I haven't had enough fun yet." Xue Chen gathered all the cards together and asked in a relaxed tone.
"I really don't want to play!" the young man in the sweatshirt said with certainty. He was not stupid, so how could he not see it? He had met a poker master, someone much taller than him, so he must have noticed that he was out of luck.
How could he continue to play when it was thousands? Not only did he lose all the money he won, but he also lost hundreds of dollars. He was really depressed.
Now he was vaguely thinking about it. Xue Chen didn't play before and read there, but just now he chose to play again. It must be because he gave up thousands of dollars to win and made this person unhappy, so he took action to teach himself a lesson.
…
"Hey, lesson learned. I didn't expect that I met a master on the plane before I even arrived at the destination. I got off to a bad start." The young man in the sweatshirt sighed, and he became more alert. There are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky. This competition will definitely happen.
You have to be extra careful and at least break into the money circle.
Realizing that Xue Chen might be a master at playing cards, the young man in Weiyi immediately wanted to ask for advice: "Hello, brother, you see that you are a master at playing cards. I would be very grateful if you could teach me how to play cards."
"I can't teach you anything." Xue Chen glanced at the young man in a sweatshirt in surprise, not expecting to ask him for advice.
He really couldn't stand this man's dirty trick of playing cards to win Andrew's money, so he took action. Of course, he was not an expert at playing cards at all. He just used clairvoyance, a super cheating device. Otherwise, his card skills
But it's very bad.
When the young man in Weiyi saw that Xue Chen refused to teach him, he just thought it was because Xue Chen was unwilling. But he was not angry or surprised at all. He felt it was normal. Everyone's skills are special skills. How could he teach them to others easily?
After a ten-hour flight, we finally arrived at our destination, San Francisco, one of the three largest cities in California.
It was early in the morning when we got off the plane, which seemed to be around five o'clock in the local time. We followed Andrew and Amanda out of the airport. There were already vehicles waiting outside, a Lincoln and a Cadillac, both of which were very heavy and elegant models.
Xue Chen also met Carol and Connie again. Both of them were very happy to see Xue Chen, but Carol had a little bit of embarrassment on her face.
After all, he was very dissatisfied with Xue Chen at the beginning and took the initiative to find trouble many times. Unexpectedly, Xue Chen saved Connie and him.
"Hi, Xue Chen, thank you so much for coming." Connie couldn't help but go up and hug Xue Chen hard.
There is no doubt that her gratitude to Xue Chen cannot be expressed in words. At that time, she thought that she was dead. Falling into the sea in such bad weather was basically the judgment of death, but Xue Chen did not ask anyone.
He jumped down and miraculously saved her.
After briefly meeting the two of them, Xue Chen took a car directly to Andrew's home, to be more precise, his home in San Francisco, because Andrew's family has residences in three major cities in California.
It is located in a high-end villa park. Although the villa is high-end decorated and fully furnished, it is very deserted. There is only one nanny who is responsible for cleaning and looking after the house.
Because he had slept on the plane and his physique was different from ordinary people, Xue Chen felt very energetic after taking a bath, unlike Andrew and Amanda who went to rest tiredly.
He walked out of the villa alone, strolled casually on the flat grass in the yard, and looked up at the scenery in the distance.
Suddenly, he saw a yellow-skinned old lady busy in the villa next door. Almost instantly, he realized that she must be a Chinese, because she was digging the soil with a small hoe and seemed to be planting seeds.
The appearance of the dish.
He curiously walked to the fence and saw the old lady who must have been in her seventies. Most of her hair was white, but she seemed to be in good health, her face was healthy, and she had old-fashioned blond hair on her ears.
Earrings, he was digging slowly on the ground with a hoe, occasionally revealing an jade bracelet on his wrist.
Xue Chen stood and watched for five or six minutes before the old lady noticed him. When she saw Xue Chen staring at him planting vegetables, she asked with a smile: "Young man, where are you from?"
"I'm from Yunzhou." Xue Chen replied with a smile. Hearing the old lady's accent, he knew that she was from Dongshan Province.
Xue Chen saw that the old lady was struggling to dig the ground and the efficiency was very slow. He couldn't help but said: "Grandma, how about I help you?"
The old lady nodded her head obediently and said "Hello" with a smile.
Xue Chen walked around and walked into the yard, picked up the small hoe and started digging. Although he rarely did farm talk, he grew up in the countryside after all, and his basic skills were still very solid. In less than half an hour, he was able to dig
The small open space was dug into five ditches.
The old lady looked on with a smile and gave Xue Chen advice from time to time. Seeing that Xue Chen had finished it so quickly, she praised Xue Chen for his strong strength and that he was a good seedling for crop work.
Then, the two spent another half an hour scattering seeds of several common vegetables, watering them, and then they were done.
After Xue Chen finished helping, he didn't stay long and was about to go back, but the old lady kept him and said she wanted to thank him and cook him something delicious.
He thought for a moment but did not refuse and stayed. They followed him into the villa and saw no one else except a nanny who seemed to be taking care of the old lady.
The old lady asked Xue Chen to wait in the living room, and she and the nanny went to the kitchen. Within ten minutes, a plate was brought out, which contained several hot pancakes, a bowl of meat sauce and a few green onions.
Before getting off the plane, Xue Chen had a simple meal, but he was not used to airplane food, so he was really hungry, so he was not polite. He rolled pancakes with green onions and dipped them in meat sauce, shook his cheeks and started eating. After ten minutes, six
Zhang Jianbing ate up all the pancakes, and the bottom of the bowl of meat sauce was also gone.
When the old lady saw that Xue Chen was eating so deliciously, the wrinkles on her face broke into laughter.
After wiping his mouth with a tissue, Xue Chen stood up and said goodbye: "Grandma, I'm going back first."
"Hey, come over again when you have time, and grandma will make pancakes for you." The old lady said,
"Okay." Xue Chen nodded and agreed.
When Xue Chen walked to the door of the living room and was about to leave, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and two people walked in. A burly middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes in a black coat, followed by what looked like an assistant and
A secretary-like young man.
Suddenly seeing Xue Chen, the middle-aged man who walked in the door seemed very surprised.
Xue Chen glanced at the middle-aged man and guessed that he might be the old lady's son. After meeting him, he nodded as a greeting and then strode away.
After going back, Andrew had just rested and asked where Xue Chen had been. When he learned that Xue Chen had gone next door, Andrew blinked and said, "Oh, the neighbor next door? I don't know much about it, but I heard that
He is a very enterprising businessman and seems to be the manager of some Chinese associations in Chinatown." (To be continued)
