Chapter 362: All Relies on Luck

Listening to Xu Feiya's complaints, Dong Zhen couldn't help but frowned and said something to comfort her softly.

"I can't help it. Who makes me busy? It's not good for a company to be too big. There are always endless things to do and endless meetings to attend."

"What are the deputy managers and secretaries you appointed for? They can't just get paid and not work. You've taken on all the responsibilities yourself, and you're going to wear yourself out. What will happen to our children?"

Xu Feiya snorted in disapproval. Ever since she and Dong Zhen got married, they have been apart more often than together. Although their relationship is relatively harmonious, they are not together all the time, and their feelings will fade over time.

She was born into a scholarly family and developed a traditional character under the influence of her parents' words and deeds. In addition, due to her health reasons, she could only stay at home to take care of her husband and children for the rest of her life.

"Eat your meal first. I promise to go back early today."

Dong Zhen said nothing and hung up the phone. He raised his hand and pinched his brows. The recent events made him very upset.

Before things got clear, he was afraid it would be hard for him to be in a good mood. Thinking of this, he glanced at the mobile phone on the table, picked it up and flipped through the address book, and a call was made. The other party picked up the call as soon as it rang.

Listening to the soft and coquettish voice on the other end of the phone, Dong Zhen whispered,

"Xiyuan Restaurant, be there within half an hour."

After hanging up the phone, he got up and went to the next bedroom, washed off his annoyance, walked out with wet hair, sat on the balcony, lit a cigar, and just took a puff when he heard a knock on the door.

"Go in,"

With a creak, the door opened and a graceful woman walked in. She was wearing a rose-red slim dress that outlined her seductive curves.

When the woman saw Dong Zhen, she put her purse on the table, smiled coquettishly, and rushed over to him, throwing herself into his arms.

"You're just thinking of him now. You're really heartless."

"Go take a shower."

Dong Zhen looked at the head in his arms, took a puff of cigarette, blew it onto her head, and spoke in a low voice.

"I know~," the woman didn't dare to act coquettishly and got up and went into the bathroom next door.

Dong Zhen sat on the windowsill, listening to the sound of water in the bathroom, his eyes calm.

As a successful man, women are just the spice of life for him. If he indulges in women, he will only bring trouble upon himself.

Since ancient times, women have been troublesome. Ever since they were old enough to understand, their father has warned them that they must never make mistakes because of women.

Between men and women, apart from the bond between husband and wife, the rest is just the exchange of interests, each taking what they need.

Seeing the woman walking out of the bathroom in a loose bathrobe, Dong Zhen's eyes darkened. He put out the cigar in his hand, walked over with big strides, ripped open the belt of the woman's bathrobe, bent down to pick her up, and threw her directly on the bed...

"Oh, Mr. Dong, what's wrong with you today? Why are you so impatient?" The woman was startled, but she could only complain coquettishly.

She knew this man's temper quite well. Even though she was scared in her heart, she didn't dare to show it too much. She could only stare at him innocently, her eyes moist and full of accusations.

Facing such a look, Dong Zhen's pupils darkened, and he pressed forward directly, his voice hoarse, "Little devil, don't you like me like this..."

An hour later, the room returned to peace.

Dong Zhen lay on his back on the bed, looking at the ceiling, breathing steadily, then got up and went to the bathroom.

The moment the bathroom door closed, the woman lying on the bed breathed a sigh of relief, stared at the door with fear in her eyes, and it took her a while to return to normal.

He got up, put on his clothes, and sat on the edge of the bed waiting. When the bathroom door opened, the woman immediately looked over. Dong Zhen glanced at her and pointed to the drawer on the table.

"There's something in the drawer for you, go take a look."

"Thank you, Master Dong. I know you love me."

The woman's eyes lit up, and she happily went over to open the drawer and took out a red velvet box. When she opened it, she saw a set of gold necklaces and a pair of earrings in very novel styles.

"Wow, this style is really nice, it's rare here."

"Well, I knew you liked it, so I asked someone to buy it from the port." Seeing her surprise, Dong Zhen explained in a low voice, then went to the counter and took out a new suit to put on. "I have something else to do, I'll contact you later."

"Okay, I'll leave now and not delay Mr. Dong's work." The woman put the box into her purse and left happily.

After a while, Uncle Wu knocked on the door and came in. "Master, the car is ready. It's time to go back. The lady is waiting for you."

"Well, let's go."

Dong Zhen hummed and walked away. Before leaving, Uncle Wu asked his confidant to come and clean the room.

Zaoshu Alley,

The dishes prepared by Dai Qing were cleared away by the group. After eating and drinking to their heart's content and digesting the food, the group enthusiastically started playing poker, which was the simplest way to "run fast".

Whoever finishes playing his cards first wins.

"Thank goodness Mr. Jiang is here, otherwise we wouldn't have enough manpower."

He Ning pressed a piece of paper that had just been stuck on his nose, and looked at the people while holding the cards, his eyes sparkling, "I must be the first one to finish playing cards this time."

"Three fives and one four." He Ning was very proud.

"Yes, three sixes and a five..." Cai Kuan followed calmly.

Dai Qing glanced at them and drew three nines and an eight. Jiang Li held the cards and shook his head.

"pass."

"I want three and six,"

"Three twos and eight,"

"Ah~, how is it possible?" He Ning looked at Cai Kuan in disbelief, his face trembling.

After two rounds, Cai Kuan was the first to run away, and He Ning had only one card left. Dai Qing won with a pair of circles. Jiang Li followed, only playing pairs and consecutives, but in the end, He Ning still had to put the note on.

"I don't believe it. I will always be unlucky~"

He Ning spit on the paper, pressed it against his temple, and continued to shuffle the cards with gritted teeth...

After several rounds, He Ning's forehead was covered with notes, Jiang Li's face had three or four, Dai Qing's face had two, and only Cai Kuan's face was clean.

He Ning pulled away the note in front of him and looked at Cai Kuan in disbelief, "You...what kind of luck possessed you to be so awesome?"

"I'm just typing away." Cai Kuan looked at the notes filling his forehead and chuckled.

"Haha...playing cards requires luck and brain. Others can count cards, but you just rely on luck." Dai Qing looked at him and couldn't help laughing.

He Ning's saliva was dry and his head was empty.

"Sister Dai, you say I'm stupid?"

"No, you're just not good at it, haha..."

Jiang Li looked at the energetic young people and curled the corners of her lips slightly. Having fun with them, she felt several years younger.

"No more playing, no more playing. I'm going to take a shower and get rid of my bad luck. We'll continue tomorrow. I don't believe I can't win." He Ning pulled the paper off his face, put away the poker, and walked out with a pout.
