At the same time, Mr. Dong, with his one eye on his elbow, paced back and forth in the guest room's reception area.
Still unable to contain his anger, he stopped, about to hurl a curse: "Hmph, when the tiger is away, the monkey reigns supreme!"
They stayed in a suite, with Master Er having his own bedroom. He had work to do, after all, although the business was divided among his subordinates and the rental of the houses was handled by the Nie family, he still had to advise his subordinates on business.
After pacing around for a while, Master Dong said again, "A-Rou is too weak. If you ask me, what should we bet on? We should have a fight!"
While reading official documents, Master Er could no longer contain himself. He took off his glasses and said, "You old fool, this is a new era. Our old tricks of fighting and killing don't work anymore. Arou knows what to do. You should shut up."
Not only did Master Dong not calm down, but he also couldn't understand: "What do you mean by saying that fighting and killing don't work? If it weren't for the return, humph!"
Actually, Master Er saw things more deeply and was right.
In the new era, even if the government does not deliberately suppress it, the era of those who once dominated Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan by fighting with their lives and fists is coming to an end, because with the popularization of mobile phones and computers, the black market has moved from offline to online.
Chen Rou doesn't subdue people with force, but rather with gambling, which is probably why.
Annoyed by Dong Ye's nagging, Er Ye decided to explain and advised him to rest and recharge before meeting Hu Xiaotian tomorrow.
Of course, that would only be if Chen Rou were truly skilled and made a good bet, capable of instilling fear in Hu Xiaotian and forcing him to submit.
Mr. Dong agreed with his analysis, and no matter how anxious he was, he could only wait and call from time to time to check on the situation.
He's too old, his days are numbered, and his fame has faded. Only his granddaughter can help him maintain his dignity.
Downstairs, in a casino that was as big as a maze, there was a specially cleared VIP room. When Chen Rou entered, there were already four guests and a handsome male dealer waiting for her.
Chen Rou went to the croupier and shook hands with him.
The dealer also deliberately held up the playing cards with both hands to show that they were in an unsplit state.
Chen Rou's chips were all in Chen Jinbao's hands. He put them on the table, and the gambling was about to begin.
Of the four people, Chen Rou's target was a middle-aged man sitting opposite her, who was about forty years old, wearing glasses and a suit, and looked very refined. Next to him sat a woman in her twenties with permed hair.
When Chen Rou came in, the man didn't say anything, but the woman whistled and lit a cigarette.
At the gambling table, if you're in the mood, you can introduce yourselves to each other; if not, you can just start gambling.
First, roll the dice to see who wins; the higher dice becomes the dealer. Then, the cards are revealed, and Chen Rou simply rolls the dice randomly.
The dealer in this round was a young man with dyed blond hair who spoke Cantonese but with a South Asian accent.
Of course, the dealer deals the cards, first dealing two rounds of face-down cards.
Chen Rou had the largest entourage in the entire gambling hall, surrounded by a group of people in black suits.
But when she gently lifted the lid, she found that the cards she had were the lowest possible: a 3 of diamonds and a 6 of clubs.
Texas Hold'em uses five cards. Although the next three face-up cards can change the game, with the two cards Chen Rou has now, even if the last three are excellent, she can only get a high card at best, not even a flush.
She herself was fine, but Nie Jiayu, who was sitting next to her acting as her advisor, quickly said, "Let's not follow along."
The dealer, the blond-haired man, placed his bet, and the middle-aged bespectacled man opposite him not only called but doubled his bet.
The other two, like the blond guy, simply placed bets.
Holding two terrible hands, just when Nie Jiayu and Wang Baodao both thought it was hopeless, Chen Rou said, "Raise!"
The bespectacled man glanced at her, recognizing her immediately, and gave her a thumbs up: "Nie Taizhen is truly a heroine among women."
The woman behind him was wearing a red dress. She smiled at Chen Rou, and when she saw that he ignored her, she lit another cigarette.
Now it was time to reveal the cards; Chen Rou had a Queen of Clubs.
Wang Baodao and Nie Jiayu exchanged a glance. If the next card was also a Q, they could still save the day if they had a pair.
Unfortunately, the bespectacled man on the other side happened to have the Queen of Diamonds, while the Queen of Spades was in the hands of the blond guy.
There's only one Q left. What's the chance of it being sent? Of course not, so they can't win this round.
It was time to raise the stakes again, but this time, the other two gamblers said they wouldn't bet anymore.
However, the dealer still insisted on betting, and the bespectacled man continued to double his bet. By this time, the stakes had reached 200,000.
Wolves, insects, tigers, leopards, and other powerful and imposing figures stood on the outermost perimeter, even more imposing than the bodyguards at the entrance of the casino.
They couldn't see the young lady's cards, but tonight was the most enjoyable and happiest night for them, especially since the Hong Kong triads were declining and they had all come out to find other jobs and spent all day worrying about the profits and losses of their businesses.
Their young lady was no ordinary woman. Her simple, elegant black dress, along with the sparkling jewelry around her neck and ears, created a stark contrast with the red-clad canary next to the bespectacled man opposite her.
She is dignified, elegant, noble, and domineering, making her the most desired young lady in the hearts of all gangsters.
They also considered him to be the only young master in the world.
At that moment, she held the blue chips in her slender hand, pushed them forward with a clatter, and said in a voice devoid of any emotion, "Call!"
Wow, Miss is so cool! If you ask who the God of Gamblers is, she is the one, the walking God of Gamblers.
But while they were happy, Nie Jiayu and Wang Baodao, as the two generals and strategists, were scratching their heads.
Okay, let's hope the next card is a Queen so we can make a straight, otherwise we're definitely going to lose this hand.
Next up is the fourth card, which is also revealed. The two strategists are eagerly waiting for it.
