When you push open the iron gate, a luxurious atmosphere hits you in the face, forming a sharp contrast with the narrow alley outside the door.
Chen Changyuan couldn't help but be stunned. The interior decoration of this casino was far more luxurious than he had imagined.
The crystal chandeliers emit brilliant light, illuminating the magnificent decorations in the casino.
The red carpet is thick and soft, and makes almost no sound when you step on it.
The air was filled with a special smell mixed with cigarettes, perfume and alcohol, which made people feel a little dizzy.
The casino was bustling with people and the sounds of various gambling could be heard one after another.
On the roulette table, the ball was spinning rapidly, and the gamblers stared at it nervously, some cheering and some dejected.
At the Pai Gow table, the gamblers had serious expressions and held the cards in their hands tightly, fearing that others would notice.
In front of the slot machines, people kept shaking the levers, hoping to win the jackpot.
Chen Changyuan took a deep breath and tried to stay calm.
He pretended to wander around the casino casually, scanning every corner, trying to find any trace of Lao Wei.
He walked up to a gambling table, pretended to be very interested in gambling, and placed a few bets casually.
Winning or losing was not important to him. He just wanted to take this opportunity to observe the surrounding situation and find out about Lao Wei.
"Have you heard? Lao Wei will be here tonight."
A fat man in a flowered shirt next to him whispered to his companion.
Chen Changyuan's heart moved, and he pricked up his ears and listened quietly.
"Is this true? Old Wei rarely shows up."
My companion looked surprised.
"It's absolutely true! My cousin works in a casino, and he told me so himself."
The fat man said proudly, "I heard that Lao Wei is going to discuss business with a big boss tonight, in the VIP room on the top floor."
Top floor VIP room!
Chen Changyuan was secretly happy that he finally found out the whereabouts of Lao Wei.
He continued to wander around the casino, observing his surroundings while thinking about how he could get into the VIP room on the top floor.
He noticed that there were several burly men guarding the stairs leading to the top floor, and anyone who wanted to go up had to pass their inspection.
It seems that forcing our way in is not an option, we have to think of another way.
At this time, he saw a well-dressed middle-aged man preparing to go upstairs.
The man was accompanied by a young and beautiful woman. They behaved intimately and it was obvious that they had a special relationship.
Chen Changyuan suddenly had an idea. He quickly walked over to the man and pretended to be anxious. "Hello, sir! I'm Lao Wei's friend. He asked me to wait for him here. How do I get to the VIP room?"
The man looked Chen Changyuan up and down, a hint of suspicion flashing in his eyes: "Are you Lao Wei's friend? Why haven't I seen you before?"
Chen Changyuan's heart tightened, and he quickly explained, "I'm Lao Wei's new friend, you may not know me. Lao Wei asked me to go directly to the VIP room to find him, but I don't know the way."
The woman next to the man covered her mouth and chuckled, and said to the man: "Dear, since he is Lao Wei's friend, let him go up with you."
The man hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded: "Okay, then come up with us."
Chen Changyuan was secretly delighted and quickly thanked him: "Thank you, thank you!"
He followed the man and woman to the stairs. When the guard saw the man, he immediately saluted respectfully: "Hello, Boss Wang!"
The man nodded slightly and took Chen Changyuan and the woman upstairs.
Entering the VIP room, Chen Changyuan was once again shocked by the scene before him.
The VIP room is more luxuriously decorated than the one downstairs and has a more spacious space.
From the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, you can overlook the night view of the entire city.
The room is furnished with various high-end furniture and decorations, and the air is filled with a faint scent of sandalwood.
Several well-dressed men and women were sitting around a gambling table piled with chips.
One of them, a burly man with a mustache, caught Chen Changyuan's attention.
"That's Old Wei."
The man whispered to Chen Changyuan.
Chen Changyuan nodded calmly, staring at Lao Wei closely, thinking about his next move in his mind.
He walked to the gambling table, pretended to be very interested in the game, and stood aside to watch.
"Who is this little brother?"
Old Wei noticed Chen Changyuan and asked.
"I'm a friend of Boss Wang."
Chen Changyuan answered quickly.
"Oh, so you're Boss Wang's friend."
Lao Wei smiled and nodded, "Since you're here, let's have some fun together."
Chen Changyuan declined, "No, I don't know how to gamble."
"It doesn't matter if you don't know how to gamble, you can learn."
Old Wei laughed heartily, "Young people, you should be brave enough to try new things."
As he spoke, Lao Wei picked up a handful of chips and stuffed them into Chen Changyuan's hand: "Take it, play with it casually."
Chen Changyuan couldn't refuse, so he had to take the chips and join the gambling game.
Chen Changyuan held the chips in his hand, his heart beating wildly.
Although he had been active in society in his previous life, he had never been involved in gambling and knew nothing about the rules at the gambling table.
But he knew that tonight's opportunity was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and he had to seize it.
The game was played on "Tui Tong Zi", a card game that was quite popular in the late 1970s.
Several men in suits and ties sat around Lao Wei, smoking and looking determined to win.
Chen Changyuan observed calmly, trying hard to memorize the routines and patterns of other people's card playing.
In the first round, Chen Changyuan cautiously followed with a few small bets, testing the strength of others.
The game went on quickly, and after a few rounds, Chen Changyuan gradually figured out the tricks.
