Chapter 187 Gambling King

"Hey, you really know how to choose seats." Just when three people at the table were thinking about their own things, a female voice with a smile suddenly came from the side.

"Pingsi? Come and sit down, there's still room." Su Yun glanced at He Pingsi, who was looking at him with a smile, and waved to her.

"I don't enjoy it as much as you do." He Pingsi said this, but she also walked slowly to Su Yun's side, "I still have to sit in the front, and now I came to see you secretly."

Chen Boyan, who was squeezed to the side, moved his seat helplessly to make more standing space for He Pingsi: There was no way, although he also wanted to continue to sit closely next to Su Yun, but He Pingsi was not only Su Yun's roommate and good friend, but also one of the supervisors of the TV series he was filming.

Those entertainment reporters are also good at making assumptions: even if He Pingsi came to TBB as a summer intern, she would definitely not be an artist, but a manager.

What's the result?

Regarding the news that he had finally had a vacation to fly to California to visit Su Yun, most people mistakenly thought that the person in the news was He Pingsi, who lived in the same room with Su Yun. Later, He Pingsi joined TBB as a summer intern and participated in crew management affairs. So, the rumor spread that He Pingsi had also participated in the youth-themed TV series they were currently filming, called "Breakthrough".

Fortunately, due to work reasons, the two had no contact or communication at all, so the paparazzi could not take pictures. Later, they gradually shifted their targets to him and Weng Jingjing, the male and female protagonists.

Chen Boyang moved his seat while thinking about this.

This move naturally meant he moved to Zhang Querong's side.

Zhang Querong looked at Chen Baiyang's pitiful expression, and the irritation he felt earlier also disappeared to a large extent. He put his arm around his shoulder and said, "Let those two girls chat for a while, and we two brothers can have a drink and talk!"

A few casual words immediately resolved the embarrassment of Chen Baiyang who was squeezed out, so Chen Baiyang looked at his old friend with gratitude.

"That's thoughtful." Su Yun and He Ping chatted for a while: Although for now, everyone is working in TBB TV station, the TV station is not small and they often have to go out for filming. If there is no agreement and they are not in the same group, it is very easy to not see each other for several months.

"Do you plan to go back to claim your leave after October, after your birthday?" He Pingsi asked.

"Yeah, we really can't leave here. Anyway, we are already juniors now, with fewer classes, and most of the professors are understanding." Su Yun was very calm: Although St. Clair is one of the schools where it is easier to find a job, there are so many fresh graduates and students who are about to graduate every year. No matter how many contracts are signed with nearby companies, there are still too many people and too little resources.

She holds some internship and practice places at three relatively well-known companies: Industrial Light & Magic, Apple, and Microsoft. For America, a country where capital and interests are paramount, Su Yun is not just an ordinary student, but a partner who has the confidence to negotiate terms with the school.

"You're fine. I still have to go back two days before school starts." He Pingsi sighed, "I was originally planning to follow your example and try to start my own small company during the holidays, but I didn't expect Dad to be interested in the television industry."

"Oh? This is the first time I've heard of this." He Pingsi's father is the famous Macau gambling king He Yongxin. He was also a judge in the Miss Hong Kong finals that Su Yun participated in. However, because his seat was a bit far away from Su Yun, the two did not communicate much.

But He Yongxin is indeed worthy of being a big shot who has made it to one of the top positions. Even though they are quite far apart, his demeanor and grace are still sufficient.

Su Yun's greatest impression of Ho Yong Sun was undoubtedly the occasion when he went on stage to help the host ask questions to the contestants: his way of asking questions was much gentler and more polite than that of other judges, such as the second-generation judges like Mr. Kwok who would not stop until they had gained an advantage verbally, and he would also help the contestants to find topics to talk about when they performed poorly, so that every time it was Ho Yong Sun's turn to ask questions, the contestants would smile from the bottom of their hearts.

In addition, he takes good care of himself, has many halos around him, and has a playboy who serves as a supporting role beside him... It is estimated that every year there are quite a few candidate beauties who will be fascinated by this elegant "uncle".

After all, many of the beauties who participate in the Miss Hong Kong pageant are here to be noticed by wealthy men. Even if they cannot successfully marry into a wealthy family like their predecessor, Zhu Ningning, by dating a wealthy man for a period of time and using some thought, they can earn money, cars and houses.

A pearl may emerge from a humble home. In fact, not many of the candidates every year come from wealthy families. It is already considered good to have a middle-class family. Candidates like Su Yun who come from housing estates account for the majority.

After all, a beauty pageant is just a shortcut with a nicer name. Wearing a bikini on TV in front of nearly the entire Hong Kong audience still has a great impact and pressure on this contradictory era of conservatism and openness.

Families with more conservative ideas would never allow their daughters to go out in public like this and be criticized by the people of Hong Kong.

Moreover, girls from well-off families do not need to rely on their looks to compete for resources. Even if some young and ignorant people dream of becoming beauty pageant champions, they do not have the courage and determination to do so.

Therefore, most of the contestants in the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant come from humble backgrounds.

Perhaps beautiful people are always like the beauties on the stage. Even if they are not interested, there will still be people who want to come up to them. Su Yun did not gossip with He Pingsi about recent situations. He Yongxin, who was originally in the "good seat" in the front row, actually came over with someone.

"Ms. Su." He Yongxin greeted her very gently.

Not knowing why this big shot suddenly targeted them, Su Yun responded to He Yongxin with a polite smile, and immediately tried to hide behind He Pingsi, who took the initiative to call him daddy, to put some distance between the two.

Even though He Yongxin is nearly sixty years old, he looks more attractive than his eldest son He Youkang, who is in the prime of his life. However, despite this, Su Yun still dares not have anything to do with this tycoon from Australia.

He Yongxin brought his three sons He Youkang and He Chaohong from the first wife and He Pingsi from the second wife to attend the party this time. Now that they came here out of nowhere, Su Yun felt that there must be nothing good going on.

However, this gambling king He really just said hello to Su Yun, chatted with her for a few irrelevant words, and then turned around and went back - his posture was as if he had accidentally seen an acquaintance who he was not very familiar with but had a good relationship with, so he came over to say hello...

But even if it was just this brief moment, He Yongxin's behavior would definitely lead to some gossip in newspapers and magazines tomorrow: Everyone knows how romantic this gambling king He is, and how complicated his family relationships are!

Moreover, he is not like those young masters who would persist in their pursuit of success. He simply uses his power and charm to overwhelm others. If someone really becomes his target, Su Yun has not heard of many cases where he would resist fiercely or be unwilling.

On the contrary, there are more people who gradually fall into boredom but are still reluctant to leave...

"Look at it brightly. You're my good friend, and a newly hired foreign player for the Zhao family. Maybe my dad... just came here to get to know you." When He Pingsi said this, she herself was not very confident: Su Yun's looks were recognized as top-notch. Not to mention men, even she, a woman living with her, would be amazed from time to time. It wouldn't be strange if her playboy father fell in love with Su Yun like those young masters.

If this is the case, Su Yun does not need to worry too much: although Ho Yung-sun has a high reputation in Macau, he certainly will not quarrel with Zhao, with whom he has a good relationship and has worked for many years, just because of emotional problems.

On the contrary, the shares of foreign companies held by Su Yun and the technologies she possesses are what attract the most attention of bigwigs like He Yongxin.

Suppressing her suspicion, He Pingsi reluctantly added, "After all, Sister Chaohong from my aunt's side joined TBB with me. You are also a new member of the management team, and you are about the same age as us..."

He Chaohong, the youngest daughter of the eldest wife, was born in the same year as He Pingsi, the eldest daughter of the second wife. They also have a bunch of sons and daughters who can be considered grandchildren in terms of age. It is easy to imagine how chaotic this "big family" is, which has been transformed into what it is today by relying on the customs of the previous dynasty.

However, for now, only the first and second wives have official status, and He Youkang, born to the first wife, is slightly inferior to his father in personality and height, but in terms of appearance and bloodline, he is still the most favored by He Yongxin.

Outsiders say how much He Yongxin dotes on He Pingsi, but that is just his love and training for his daughter. The one who really participates in all business affairs with He Yongxin is his "original son".

If it weren't for the fact that gambling king Ho and his son have been too busy lately and couldn't spare the time, the task of finding a favor and using their connections to get someone to Zhao Rifu to study at the TV station and gain experience before entering the TV industry would probably not have been the turn of his two daughters, Ho Ping-si and Ho Chao-hong.

"I hope so." Su Yun responded to He Pingsi, and then urged, "You should go back."

"You...you'd better be careful. I'll help you keep an eye out." He Pingsi frowned, took a deep breath, turned the worry on her face into a polite smile in social occasions, and then hurried to her seat.

After everyone from the He family had left, Su Yun unhappily poured a full glass of red wine.

Just as he was about to drink it to calm down his anger, Chen Boyang and Zhang Querong, who finally had a chance to talk, came back cautiously.

The two men looked at me with the same worried look: "Please be careful during this time."

"I understand. People like He the Gambling King will not do anything without profit. If he really targeted me for that reason, I would feel more relieved." Su Yun spread his hands.

She has the support of Zhao Group. If that is the reason, no matter how hard He Yongxin tries, it will be difficult to break Zhao Group's protection of her - although Zhao Rifu has shifted the focus of his business to the television industry, from beginning to end, his true love is still the film industry.

As Su Yun is one of the hopes for Zhao's film industry to make a comeback, the Zhao family will definitely not give up on her just like that.

In this confusing fog, what kind of role does the Ho family of Macau play?
