The collaboration between the Pei and Huo families immediately shook the business world.

Everyone said that Pei Zhi had really lost her mind.

How could Pei Zhi have signed a contract like the one with the Huo family?

One more, split 20/80.

Pei Zhi went out to discuss cooperation several times, and was questioned by several CEOs who asked her if the Huo family had any leverage over her.

Otherwise, Pei Zhi wouldn't have acted this way.

Pei Zhi could only laugh it off, but she couldn't stand everyone looking at her like she was an idiot.

So Pei Zhi decided to go on a business trip abroad and, incidentally, deal with the matter of setting a trap for Huo Li.

The pit had to be dug perfectly before Huo Li would jump in.

It's not a small amount; we need to put Huo Li's mind at ease.

Pei Zhi has many friends abroad, and she earned her first pot of gold overseas.

Pei Zhi is generous, so she has a good reputation among her friends.

As soon as Pei Zhi asked for help, her friends all responded enthusiastically.

It's nothing serious, just making a few fake documents.

For Huo Li, who was unfamiliar with foreign countries and regions, producing a few documents that he couldn't verify was a trivial matter.

Finally, Pei Zhi had to choose a reliable person to liaise with Huo Li, essentially acting as an intermediary.

This person is very important; if he is too glib, Huo Li will become wary.

But you can't be too dull either, otherwise you won't achieve anything.

In order to find this person, Pei Zhi even went to the underground traffic jam herself.

Pei Zhi used to frequent casinos when she was in school.

After returning to China, Pei Zhi rarely had the opportunity.

Here, Pei Zhi found her target.

"Hi, It."

It was excited about winning money when he heard someone call his name. He turned around and saw Pei Zhi, and his expression changed instantly.

Why are you so startled when you see me?

Pei Zhi gestured for the person next to her to make room, and then sat down next to Yi Te.

Pei Zhi met Yi Te when they were in college; it was a case of "becoming friends after a fight."

Yi Te was an overseas Chinese. When he met Pei Zhi, he thought Pei Zhi was a rich second-generation who came to study abroad.

So when Pei Zhi came forward to befriend Yi Te, she was initially fooled.

Not only did she treat Yi Te to several meals, but Pei Zhi also gave Yi Te a sum of money because Yi Te said he wanted to go into business with Pei Zhi. Although Pei Zhi thought it would be a loss, she still gave Yi Te a sum of money.

As a result, when Pei Zhi mentioned it to her classmates, she was mercilessly ridiculed by them.

Pei Zhi then realized that she had been deceived.

It has already fooled quite a few second-generation rich kids.

Unfortunately, Yi Te offended Pei Zhi and kicked a hornet's nest.

It specifically targets wealthy second-generation students who have studied abroad.

These people are not short of money, and they won't cause trouble for him just because they were cheated out of a small amount of money. They will just laugh it off.

But Pei Zhi was different. With the help of a few friends, she easily captured Yi Te.

Not only did Pei Zhi force Yi Te to return the money, she also extorted a hefty sum from him.

After that, they became friends through a fight. Sometimes, Pei Zhi would give Yi Te the hard or tiring work that she didn't want to do, and then give Yi Te a fee for her hard work.

"Long time no see." Pei Zhi looked at the many chips in front of Itte and reached out to tap them.

"Looks like I'm on a good day."

It said awkwardly, "It's alright, it's alright."

"Shall we play a couple of rounds together?"

Itte immediately forgot his nervousness and said, "Okay, I hope you brought enough money."

Pei Zhi scoffed and threw the chips on the table to express her dissatisfaction with Yi Te's disdain for her.

Pei Zhi tapped her fingers, signaling to clear the table.

Pei Zhi sat down opposite Yi Te. "Tell me, what do you want to play?"

It's having a really good run of cards today, "Play cards!"

"Fine, you decide."

The dealer brought over the cards and dealt them to them.

It had never played with Pei Zhi, but It had noticed that Pei Zhi always remained expressionless, no matter what cards she received.

His expression remained completely unchanged, leaving Itte utterly baffled.

It's impossible to deduce what card Pei Zhi is holding from her expression.

Knowing his hand well, Itt simply pushed 500,000 onto the table.

Pei Zhi followed without hesitation, and the dealer continued dealing cards.

When It looked at the cards in his hand, he raised an eyebrow and confidently threw away another 500,000.

Pei Zhi continued to follow.

Pei Zhi's expression was too calm and confident, which made Yi Te feel insecure.

Itte hesitated, wondering whether he should follow.

Pei Zhi looked at It with a smile in her eyes, and the dealer dealt another card.

It was a bad hand; Itte lost 300,000 this time.

Pei Zhi threw down a million chips.

After thinking for a moment, Itte simply covered his cards, indicating that he was discarding them.

It folded, so Pei Zhi turned over her cards.

"Your biggest asset is only a K, how dare you talk to me about millions?"

There are no straight flushes, no pairs, and the highest possible hand is a King.

How could Pei Zhi dare to bet millions on such a terrible hand?

The dealer swept the chips in front of Pei Zhi, and Pei Zhi tossed a few chips to the dealer as a tip.

"That's how gambling works: the timid starve, and the bold get rich."

It was immediately enraged, "Again, again!"

Then, something happened, and I don't know if it was a ghost or not.

Itte stubbornly stuck to his cards, but when the cards were revealed, Pei Zhi's cards were actually better than Itte's!
