When Zhu Maolin came back from outside, he found that Xiaolu was not in the booth...the induction cooker had been turned off, and the soup base was no longer hot.
Maybe he just went to the bathroom or something? Zhu Maolin subconsciously had this idea.
He shook his head and glanced at the small cake he bought from a nearby bakery.
But after waiting for a while, Zhu Maolin still didn't see Xiaolu come back, and he couldn't help but feel that something was wrong. He simply called the minister, "Has my friend who just worked part-time with you left already?"
"Ah... I remembered." The minister apologized: "I'm sorry, I was too busy for a while and didn't notice that Mr. Zhu, you are back... It's like this, your friend just now hurriedly followed
I said, I have something to do first and I can’t wait for you anymore, so let me tell you.”
"Really?" Zhu Maolin nodded and said abruptly: "You just said you were in a hurry?"
"It seems..." The minister thought for a moment, and then said: "It seems that there is something urgent at home. I don't know much about it. But it seems that he is quite anxious. I guess something is really going on."
"Well, I understand." Zhu Maolin nodded, and then said directly: "Then let's settle the bill."
“Welcome next time!”
After leaving the hot pot restaurant, Zhu Maolin glanced at the time... At this point, she might have gone home.
Go back and make a decision early, he told himself.
Then after picking up the car from the parking lot, Zhu Maolin remembered the words of the manager of the hot pot restaurant. He thought for a while and then picked up the phone, "Hello... boy? Well, help me check the last time you filmed a short film for us.
The phone number of the model. Well, the one named Xiaolu... just send it back to my phone."
As two people who know each other, it should be natural for them to exchange a few greetings, right?
Soon after, tboy sent Xiaolu’s mobile phone number. After dialing all the digits, he seemed a little hesitant.
You seem quite anxious, right? There's something urgent at home or something...
Today is actually my birthday. Really, if you don’t believe it, look...
He finally pressed the dial button and put the phone to his ear. Sorry, the user you dialed is temporarily unavailable...
Her family... seems to be heading in this direction.
The engine starts.
…
…
When Chen Yuhan thought about it, this should be something he could refuse.
Hou Chen Yuhan thought: This man in sportswear should not be the kind of person to get entangled... As for himself, there is absolutely no reason to participate in such a ridiculous gamble.
As for one million... She thought about it, and to be honest, she was really moved, but this place always gave her a bad feeling. In this place full of lust and boiling, her spirit never relaxed.
Hou Chen Yuhan shook his head, and just when he was about to refuse, he saw a few wealthy ladies outside the crowd walking in at some point... It looked like they had obviously noticed him, and they were looking unhappy.
Walk over here.
Hou Chen Yuhan knew something was going to be bad...these rich wives obviously didn't intend to let him go easily, especially after she sneaked away quietly under the pretext of going to the bathroom.
At this time, another young and handsome man chosen by Liu Zixing could not wait to walk to Ajie at the gambling table, with a look of anticipation on his face.
No... as long as you bet for three games, you don't have to invest your own money, you just draw the cards for you, and you can get a reward of one million. Liu Zixing has already thrown out one million equivalent chips in front of him!
One million, even if you are lucky, you have to let those old and ugly rich women play for several months to earn it!
"I, can I really take it?" But he was still a little worried that Ajie was a consultant at the casino, so it would be strange if he didn't worry.
At this time, Ajie said calmly: "It's okay. Since it was Mr. Liu who tipped you, you can take it. Don't worry, the casino will not swallow your tip."
A million... tip.
Working in the service industry, he knew that he and this man, who was only ten years older than him, were in completely different worlds.
Suddenly, putting one million in front of him didn't seem that attractive... He was just a duck after all.
At this time, Hou Chen Yuhan also hesitantly walked up to Liu Zixing. Liu Zixing glanced briefly, said nothing, followed the same pattern, and directly gave him one million chips.
Hou Chen Yuhan suddenly shook his head and whispered: "I don't want the money... Can you take me out of this place later?"
Liu Zixing was stunned, there are people who don't want money? This is the first time he has met... But he is not a complete fool, especially after using the courage to ask for a bet from the mysterious boss in a desperate situation, he himself did not realize that there was something wrong with him.
Some things have already changed.
He noticed that the woman in front of him seemed to have some estimates and looked back frequently... She didn't look like a young lady working here, nor did she look like someone from a wealthy family. Her clothes were simple and elegant, but she wasn't considered noble either.
"Are you in trouble?" Liu Zixing said calmly.
"I...I was dragged here." Hou Chen Yuhan nodded and said, "I don't really...like this place very much."
"Okay." Liu Zixing nodded, "The one million I gave you is what I said. I won't take back what I said. It doesn't matter if I take you away, as long as you draw cards for me properly."
Hou Chen Yuhan was still worried and said: "But... what if we lose? I... I don't have so much money to compensate you."
The chips on the table were probably not something she could earn in ten lifetimes. She would not dare to get involved in this huge gamble easily...unless the other party could give her enough guarantees.
"I will never lose." Liu Zixing's eyes were sharp at this time, "Especially today, especially gambling... Don't worry, even if I lose, I won't let you pay me half a penny. So many people here can testify
, if you are still not at ease, it doesn’t matter if you write a certificate now.”
For the next words, Liu Zixing had already raised his voice so that everyone around him could hear clearly.
Ajie, who was across the table, was even more impressed at this moment: "Mr. Liu is so courageous! After three games, no matter we win or lose, I, Ajie, am willing to be your friend!"
"Okay, I'll make you my friend too." Liu Zixing nodded.
At this time, the staff sent a brand new unopened playing card, which was opened on the spot. Ajie smiled and said: "Mr. Liu, please check the cards."
"No need." Liu Zixing shook his head: "If you know how to manipulate this, no one will be willing to come back in the future. I believe that if you want to do it for a long time, you will not destroy the Great Wall."
"Then... let's get started." Ajie nodded, and then used a skillful technique to shuffle a brand new Pike deck, and then placed it in front of Liu Zixing, "Mr. Liu, you can cut the cards."
I didn’t check just now, but this time Liu Zixing did it himself. Technically, he is certainly not as good as Ajie, but he can still be regarded as a qualified gambler.
"Director...is it feasible for Ajie to make a bet like this? If he doesn't get out of the game, then..."
Feng Shan in the monitoring room frowned and said seriously: "He should have his own plan. Ajie is a close disciple of the God of Gamblers and will not mess around. I think the reason why he did this is because he wants to
Interrupt this Liu Zixing's luck."
"Interrupting luck?"
Fengshan nodded and said: "People have three declines and six prosperity. This thing sounds mysterious, but on the gambling table, this thing is so evil that no one can explain it. Only those real gamblers will have some thoughts about their luck.
It feels like... I also heard it from some senior seniors. For example, this Liu Zixing, he is very lucky now, so he should not leave his position easily. You see, he would rather gamble in the hall just now than move his position, I am afraid that is
This reason. Because this is his financial position... However, if it is faked by others, it will be difficult to say. Once his luck is interrupted, or he loses once, it will no longer be scary! Use someone else to replace him.
That's because someone else is drawing, it's someone else's luck..."
"here we go!"
In the hall, Liu Zixing was the first to place the bet this time. He still pushed out all the chips without any hesitation. This kind of courage to bet every time made people marvel.
Some people seem to have recognized him. After all, there are always some people who know such a gambling young man in the city's circles.
"This guy seems to have changed his appearance today? I've never seen him so crazy before."
"I heard that he was kicked out of the house by his own mother and severed all ties... Could this be a desperate counterattack?"
"He already has nearly 300 million on hand. If he stops, although it will not be as good as before, at least he will have the capital to make a comeback. This Liu Zixing still doesn't know how to assess the situation."
"Who knows? Anyway, I heard that the black panther was crazy and looking for him... maybe he is waiting for him outside the hotel right now."
"Shh...it's started, don't make any noise!"
In front of a deck of playing cards spread out in an arc, Hou Chen Yuhan stood unsteadily, his palms full of cold sweat. The young man opposite who was also selected was also swallowing saliva at this time, and his lips were slightly white.
The first round was almost 300 million... After all, Hou Chen Yuhan and her opponents were just ordinary people.
"Maybe it's fate." The man opposite probably had a professional instinct to please women. Although he was panicking at this time, he at least calmed down and said with a slight smile: "It's a fate that none of us can resist. For him, this may be just a part of life.
It's a small one, but for many people, they will never meet it in their lifetime. I think this is probably where the magic of fate lies... We don't know what will happen in the next second, but it is precisely because of this that the future seems to be something to look forward to, right?
?”
The future is promising... destiny.
Suddenly, Hou Chen Yuhan thought of those flower cards that she kept close to her body, which represented her preciousness and could be used to buy things she wanted and things that would change her life.
Is this also...fate?
She didn't know that it took a lot of courage to draw cards like this... To choose one of those flower cards, wouldn't it require crazy determination?
Her eyes were distracted, and although her opponent said some gentle words, he remained motionless, obviously not intending to hit her first... It was quite characteristic of this place.
They can please all women in every possible way, but they are always ruthless.
Hou Chen Yuhan took a deep breath, stretched out his hand, and pulled out a five of diamonds... a card that was not very promising.
In this card draw based on high points, a is only one point... Let go of 5, which is a point. It is really a very unfavorable point.
From the expressions and gazes of everyone, Hou Chen Yuhan knew that she was probably real... She subconsciously glanced at the man who asked her to draw the card, and found that he was still calm at this time, at least he looked very calm.
Are you really not worried? Or, even if you lose so much money at once, you don't care at all?
"Then it's my turn."
The opponent smiled slightly at this time. The opponent drew a 5 of diamonds, so he had a much greater chance of winning. He also quietly looked at the technical consultant Ajie, and found that the other party did not look at him at all. From the beginning, Ajie's eyes were
I never left Liu Zixing for a moment.
"I've drawn it!" The man took a deep breath. Since the technical consultant didn't give any indication, he could only forcefully pull out one of the playing cards.
It's just that unlike a complete layman like Hou Chen Yuhan, this guy pressed the cards on the table, pried open its edges bit by bit, almost lying on the gaming table, and kept shouting:
He said some words that Hou Chen Yuhan couldn't understand.
Something like whether it has edges or not... The people around him were also shouting in unison at this moment, as if they were possessed.
"It's scary, right? That's how casinos are, it can make people obsessed." Liu Zixing said calmly at this time: "Look at the people here, everyone has forgotten their past. Even if you ask them who their mother is, I'm afraid there is someone there.
Unable to speak."
Hou Chen Yuhan was startled. It was already this time, but this man was still not in a hurry. He actually discussed this kind of thing with himself, "But...but you?"
Liu Zixing said: "I hate this place very much. I hate it more than ever. Look at the people around me. Every time I look at them, I feel uncomfortable. They are so ridiculous, so stupid... and so do not know how to cherish them."
"Then why are you here..." Hou Chen Yuhan frowned.
"I have a reason to come." Liu Zixing stood up, "And I also have a reason to win... Okay, I won, you prepare for the second round."
Win... win?!
Hou Chenyuhan turned around in shock and saw that the opponent's man was now pale, his palms were trembling slightly, and he was looking at the playing card in his hand with a look of horror on his face. He seemed to be unable to stand still.
Look.
A spade...four.
No matter how big the spade is, it can't beat the smallest diamond just because of four and five.
"Gu, consultant..." the man shouted in panic.
Ajie was still calm at this time, waved his hand and said: "Give this Mr. Liu chips. You will lose as much as you bet. Prepare for the second game...get the cards."
It was another new set of unopened cards, and Ajie still asked Liu Zixing if he wanted to check the cards.
This time, Liu Zixing also didn't check the cards, or even cut them. He just placed a bet: 10,000 yuan.
