You seem quite afraid of them.
After the two entered the elevator, Lu Fan curiously spoke to Manager Zhou, who was wiping his sweat beside him.
“Hey, Mr. Lu, you don’t know, those bodyguards were all top-notch fighters who could take on ten men each. They’re different from the people at the entrance. These people only listen to the boss. I could be arrogant at the entrance, but once inside the club, I’m just a handyman. If the boss hadn’t told me to take you up, I wouldn’t have been qualified to go to the upscale area.”
Manager Zhou sighed helplessly and then explained the relationship to Lu Fan.
Lu Fan, who was listening, understood the hidden meaning in Manager Zhou's words. To Lu Fan's surprise, it was actually the owner of this club who had asked Manager Zhou to bring him up. He hadn't expected the other party to pay so much attention to him.
"We've arrived."
The elevator quickly arrived at the VIP area. As the elevator doors opened, Manager Zhou smiled and looked at the VIP area, speaking to Lu Fan.
This was also the first time Manager Zhou had come up here. He was only here because of Lu Fan, and he wanted to broaden his horizons.
"elder brother!"
Just after Lu Fan stepped out of the elevator, Lu Xi, who was not far away, saw him coming and quickly shouted and waved at him, trying to get his attention.
Lu Fan noticed someone calling him and looked over to see his sister. He quickly walked towards her. Manager Zhou followed closely behind. The boss behind the scenes had not only instructed Manager Zhou to bring people up but also to keep a close eye on Lu Fan to prevent him from ruining the event.
"You've finally arrived."
When Jiang Manyue saw Lu Fan coming over, she quickly stood up and grabbed Lu Fan's hand, saying...
"Hey, open the cards right now!"
Just as Jiang Manyue and Lu Xi were about to talk to Lu Fan, the person sitting at the other end of the card table angrily banged on the table and yelled at Jiang Manyue.
But when he saw Lu Fan's eyes, he immediately deflated, lost his confidence, and lowered his voice considerably as he said to Jiang Manyue, "This game has already started. If you don't reveal your cards, it will be considered that you have forfeited."
Lu Fan didn't know what had happened, but seeing how arrogant the other side was, and looking at the cards on his own table, he flipped them over.
"Hey, I'm not playing this game anymore!"
Upon seeing the cards Lu Fan revealed, the other player immediately covered their own cards. Looking at Lu Fan and his two companions, they knew these three were no ordinary people. They felt fear from Lu Fan's eyes and could only angrily slam their fist on the table before leaving the gambling table.
"What's going on between you two? Why are you gambling?"
Lu Fan had been involved in gambling before, and had lost everything. Knowing the tricks of the trade, he was determined never to touch it again. Unexpectedly, not long ago, his wife and sister came to gamble. He angrily asked the two of them...
"Actually, it's like this. A friend brought me here to gamble before, and I lost a lot of money. The extra money I got from you was used to pay off my debts here, but the interest here is getting higher and higher, and I can't pay it off at all."
Jiang Manyue and Lu Xi exchanged glances, and then Lu Xi spoke to Lu Fan.
"At first, I just thought it was fun, but I gradually got more and more involved. I had no choice but to ask you for money because I was afraid you would scold me. The club offered to lend me money, and I saw the huge interest rates, but I was too naive."
As she was talking, Lu Xi threw herself into Lu Fan's arms and started crying loudly.
She's been under a lot of pressure lately, burdened with so much debt, but she's still just a young girl, and she couldn't hold back any longer, burying her head in Lu Fan's arms and crying.
"Let me tell you what happened next. My little sister just couldn't take it anymore. Just yesterday, she received an invitation to this club, saying that all the guests were big shots and that if she had good luck, she might be able to pay off her gambling debts today. So she came, only to find that the VIP area was full of big shots and there was no chance of winning. She had already lost another five million before I arrived. I helped her play a few rounds, and she managed to win back some of it. She still owes more than thirteen million in gambling debts."
Seeing that Lu Xi was crying uncontrollably, Jiang Manyue patted Lu Xi on the back and then told Lu Fan what happened next.
Although they could have taken out the money, it would have been a loss of working capital for the company to take out more than ten million for no reason. So they wanted to try playing the game for Lu Xi, and fortunately, they have gained something from it.
"Alright, let's go home now. I'll have the company finance department transfer the money you owe. You're not allowed to play anymore, understand?"
After listening to Jiang Manyue's words, Lu Fan looked down at Lu Xi, who was still crying. He had originally wanted to scold her, but his heart softened. He gently patted Lu Xi's back and said to her.
"Okay, sure."
Lu Xi held back her tears, looked up at her brother who didn't seem to blame her, wiped away her tears, and said to Lu Fan.
"Excuse me, please wait a moment. This young lady has already participated in this betting game. Wouldn't it be against the rules if she left halfway through?"
Seeing that Lu Xi was about to leave, the dealer quickly smiled and said to Lu Fan, who was leading Lu Xi away.
Originally, the dealer thought that Lu Xi and Jiang Manyue were good-looking, so he deliberately lost a few rounds, then won against them. After they lost all their money, he would lend them money. When they couldn't pay it back, the two beauties in front of him would be his alone.
But imagination is always beautiful, and Lu Fan's arrival shattered it all. Seeing Lu Fan's intimate actions with Lu Xi and Jiang Manyue fueled his anger, and he hated Lu Fan to the core.
"We don't want to play anymore, can't we leave?"
Jiang Manyue arrived with a rage, and this time she wouldn't let him leave even if he wanted to, angrily questioning the croupier.
"Mr. Lu, please calm down. I'll go and talk to them."
Manager Zhou noticed that Lu Fan was suppressing his anger, and seeing that the dealer was still courting disaster, he quickly stopped Lu Fan and said to him with a smile.
"Are you the manager downstairs?"
The dealer noticed that Manager Zhou was dressed in club staff clothing, thought carefully for a moment, and then asked Manager Zhou a question.
"Yes, I'm in charge of the entrance, and my surname is Zhou."
Hearing that the other party recognized him, Manager Zhou breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they gave him face, that was enough.
"Get out of here, you lowly manager! This is the VIP area. This woman has come to this table, and everyone knows my rules: either you leave when you've lost everything, or you leave after winning ten hands! No one has ever broken these rules!"
Looking at Manager Zhou's expression, the croupier curled his lip in disgust, then pointed at Lu Xi and yelled.
At this moment, all the people who had come to visit gathered around, wanting to see what had happened.
