Chapter 43: Strength

Jun Lan thought to herself, "Another idiot who thinks he's a scholar has gone crazy. I'll have to discuss with Situ tomorrow what to do next."

In room 666, Situ and Nangong were drinking whiskey and playing billiard.

That damned Situ was still smoking a cigar, and the damned secondhand smoke made the air in that relatively sealed and dark space very turbid, and almost caused Jun Lan's asthma to flare up.

Jun Lan: "Situ, can you please put out your cigar for me? It stinks, you know? It pollutes the air and is not environmentally friendly."

Situ reluctantly put out his cigar in the ashtray.

"Do you want to play a few games? If not, please reply to your 610. What are you trying to do by pestering me here?"

Nangong: "Yes, Liu Xi was very good at this before. If you don't want to play, just leave here. Even if you keep clinging to me, I won't agree to you."

Jun Lan: "You guys are really open-minded. Liu Xi's case isn't over yet, and now there's Wang Dafu's case. It's rare that you're still in the mood to have fun."

Situ: "Otherwise I will die and cry out to the heavens."

Jun Lan: "Didn't I tell you I have a way? Why don't you support me?"

Situ: "Even if you beg me a thousand times or ten thousand times, my answer will still be no."

"Okay, then don't ask. What's so great about you? You only know how to bully me. I'll go and beg Nangong."

Jun Lan said coquettishly: "Nangong, please agree to me. Please"

Situ: "How dare you! Did you call Nangong?"

Nangong: "Your beauty trap may work on Xu Tuohai, but it won't work on me. Be good and listen to Situ. Don't get involved in this matter, okay? Are you really not afraid of danger?"

Jun Lan: "If I were afraid of danger, I would have left you guys long ago, why would I stay here? Since you all don't support me, I have no choice but to do it my own way. If I make any trouble and have you clean up for me, please don't blame me."

Nangong: "Wait, what do you want?"

Jun Lan: "Okay, give me 50,000 yuan as a working fund, and I'll pay you back after the work is done."

Nangong pinched the bridge of his nose and said to Situ, "Write her another check for 50,000 yuan."

Situ said very reluctantly: "My eldest master..."

Nangong: "Go ahead, now you don't even listen to me."

Situ took out his checkbook, swiped his pen, tore off a check and handed it to Jun Lan: "Get lost, don't show up in front of me today."

Jun Lan made a face at him, snatched the check, smiled and said to Nangong, "Thank you, boss." Then she quickly walked out of room 666.

Situ: "Why do you spoil her so much? You will spoil her by doing this."

Nangong: "It doesn't matter. As long as she's happy, she looks like Sisi! But you have to ensure her safety. If she loses even a hair, I will hold you responsible."

Situ: "Be careful not to let her hear you. If this woman gets jealous, it's no joke."

Nangong took a look at Dai Qing's oil painting.

"Whatever, I don't care anyway."

Junlan returned to Room 610 and kissed the check again and again.

"Dear RMB, whether I can escape the bondage of being a house slave early this time depends on you."

The call was connected.

"Hello, is this Lu Yang? I'm Lin Junlan. I just scraped together 50,000 yuan. Want to go over to the ocean and play a few hands?"

"Then why are you still talking so much? Hurry and gather at the airport. We're going to Hainan."

Upon arriving at Hainan Airport…

"Oh my god, why is it so hot..."

“This is the climate in the tropics…”

"Oh my god, what a mistake..."

Jun Lan thought to herself, "When you get a hole in your pants from gambling, I guarantee your heart will be colder than the Arctic glaciers."

As expected, Lu Yang, who had extremely bad luck that day, lost several rounds in a row. Every time he wanted to stop, Jun Lan would whisper something in his ear, and then he would return to the gambling table and dominate everyone. Although he was in great form, he still lost miserably.

Seeing that he had almost lost all his money, Jun Lan pretended to be dizzy and stayed in the casino hotel with Lu Yang.

During the period, they went to the hotel buffet restaurant for dinner together, and Lu Yang had a gloomy face the whole time.

Lu Yang: "Didn't you say you were lucky? Did you have your period or didn't wash your hands after going to the bathroom? I've been betting with you and my hands are so smelly I haven't won a single round."

Jun Lan said aggrievedly, "I don't want this to happen either, okay? I've lost over 50,000 myself."

Lu Yang: "What's your fifty thousand? It's not even a fraction of mine."

Jun Lan: "So how much did you lose?"

Lu Yang didn't answer her.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Jun Lan continued, "I borrowed that fifty thousand yuan from the loan company you introduced me to, and now I don't know where I'm going to get the money to pay it back. You lost so much gambling, what are you going to do now?"

Lu Yang looked confident and not worried at all: "I have my own way."

Junlan knew the time had come.

She pretended to accidentally spill the water from the cup onto Lu Yang's phone.

Lu Yang: "Hey, why are you so careless?"

Jun Lan: "I'm sorry, sorry, can you please see if it still works? Otherwise I'll buy you a new phone with my own money."

Lu Yang quickly wiped the water off his phone with a napkin and found that the screen kept jumping. After turning it off, he found that he could not turn it on again.

"It's so wet, how can it still be used? It's all because of you, this troublemaker. Ever since I've been with you, I've had so much bad luck. I've never won a single gamble, and now even my phone is broken. Even if you compensate me with a new phone, what good will it do? The old one has a lot of my important information in it."

"Then let's go find a cell phone repair place and see if your phone can be saved."

"You'd better pray to God that my phone can be saved, otherwise I will never let you go."

Jun Lan thought to herself, "Isn't it just a broken iPhone? What's the big deal? Don't let me catch you doing anything wrong, or I'll make you pay."

The two walked around the casino for several times but couldn't find any place that specialized in repairing mobile phones. Finally, they had to try their luck at a nearby small shop selling mobile phone accessories.

There was only a young man in his 20s in the store fiddling with various mobile phones.

Lu Yang: "Look at him, can he do it?"

Jun Lan: "Don't judge a person by his appearance. Just give him a try!"

Lu Yang: "Hey, my phone got wet and won't turn on. Can you fix it for me? You have to fix it in front of me, otherwise I don't know if you'll do anything to my phone behind my back."

Guy: "Okay, there's no phone in the world I can't fix. After my amazing hands, I guarantee your phone will be as good as new."

But he thought to himself, "Stupid! Even if I did something to you right in front of you, you wouldn't be able to tell."

Lu Yang: "How much do you charge?"

Guy: "At least five hundred."

Jun Lan: "You're charging 500 to fix a phone that only got a few drops of water in it. You might as well go rob it. I've seen tutorials and it's just a matter of blowing it out with a hairdryer, right?"

The guy rolled his eyes at her and said, "That's an Apple phone. How can it be priced the same as a Chinese phone? You can fix it if you want. If you want to do a good job, you have to be willing to spend money. The door is over there, so I won't send you."
