After hearing Director Pi say "There is no order without rules", Li Cheng smiled and started playing cards seriously.
In the end, Principal Han lost the game. The four of them continued to chat and laugh, the losers giving their money readily, and the winners taking it calmly.
For Director Pi, it was only natural for others to win occasionally. Otherwise, if he won every time, what would be the point?
Although the purpose of playing mahjong isn't entertainment, you still have to put on enough drama. Winning and losing is what makes it feel real!
Principal Han won the next round. When paying, Director Pi said, "Principal Han has good luck. There aren't many people who can beat me at the poker table!"
Principal Han smiled and said, "Thank you for admitting it. I'm taking advantage of Director Pi today. I used to lose every time I played mahjong. If you don't believe me, you can ask Mr. Weng."
Weng Xiaozhu said as she gave him the money: "Yes, Principal Han's nickname here is Han Lao Shuai. No matter how much money he loses, he always gives it away happily. Everyone who comes here likes to play mahjong with him."
Director Pi laughed, and Li Cheng and the others also laughed. Then they continued playing cards.
This time, Principal Han won again. This time, Director Pi was a little impatient. He looked at Li Cheng, then at Weng Xiaozhu, and thought to himself, "Did you find this person specifically to beat me?"
Li Cheng also pretended not to understand and looked at Weng Xiaozhu with a puzzled look. However, Weng Xiaozhu seemed not to notice them and was concentrating on sorting the cards.
But Principal Han said, "Just focus on playing cards. I'm lucky today, so you have to let me get my money back."
Upon hearing this, Li Chengji said, "Let's stop here today and play again another day."
While speaking, Li Cheng also winked at Director Pi. Director Pi understood what Li Cheng meant and said, "Yes, yes, I have other things to do today. Let's play another day."
While Director Pi was speaking, Li Cheng had already stood up. Director Pi also wanted to stand up, but Principal Han slammed the card table.
"Just now you were all saying that there is no order without rules, how come you have forgotten the rules of the poker table now?"
Seeing Principal Han's expression turn red, Director Pi suddenly felt his dignity was being violated. Li Cheng, as if suddenly remembering something, quickly sat down.
They both thought of a rule that wasn't really a rule: the winner couldn't leave until the loser gave the order. This was an unwritten rule at the poker table, and almost everyone who played knew and followed it.
It was obvious that Director Pi had won over 10,000 yuan, much of which was lost to him by Principal Han. How could Principal Han let Director Pi walk away after losing money?
But Director Pi played mahjong today just to collect money, and Principal Han suddenly said "rules at the table", which immediately made him a little angry.
He looked at Li Cheng and was about to get angry when he saw Li Cheng waving his hand, signaling him to sit quietly.
Then, Li Cheng looked at Principal Han and said, "Principal Han, you can't afford to lose, right? It's not that we don't know the rules, it's that Director Pi really has something to do today. How about I give you the money you lost, and you let Director Pi go first?"
Principal Han got furious when he heard this. He slammed the table again and shouted, "Who are you looking down on? Who are you looking down on? I, Old Han, have lost hundreds of thousands of dollars here, if not millions. When have I ever been given a penny?"
At this time, it was time for Weng Xiaozhu to step forward. After all, it was she who recruited the now grumpy Principal Han.
"Principal Han, please be aware of your status. You are the principal after all, and Director Pi is also the director of the bank. Can't you be more polite when speaking?"
It would have been fine if he hadn't said this, but as soon as he said it, Principal Han exploded like a lit firecracker.
He stood up with a whoosh, pointed at Director Pi and said, "What's a director? Do you know there are no fathers and sons at this card table? I've even met bureau chiefs and department heads, let alone directors. If they win and want to leave, they have to ask me, Old Han, first. If I, Old Han, don't agree, they have to play with me until dawn."
When Weng Xiaozhu heard this and looked at Old Han's expression, he frowned and walked away.
At this time, Director Pi was almost dizzy. To be honest, in all his years at the mahjong table, this was the first time he had seen someone like Old Han.
He looked at Li Cheng again, a pleading look in his eyes. Director Pi really didn't want to stay here anymore. What was going on? He had been hoping to collect some bribes playing mahjong, but someone so ignorant showed up.
He definitely couldn't win an argument with Old Han, and besides, this kind of thing shouldn't be argued about. Director Pi had no choice but to rely on Li Cheng to help him out of his predicament.
Seeing Principal Han's relentless attitude, Li Cheng shook his head helplessly and said, "Principal Han, tell me, how can we get Director Pi to leave?"
Old Han pointed at the mahjong table and said, "Keep playing."
Li Cheng said, "What if you still lose?"
Old Han was also straightforward and said, "You deserve to lose."
Li Cheng asked again: "How many rounds?"
Old Han thought for a moment and said, "Since Director Pi has something else to do, I won't make it difficult for him. Let's decide the winner with a single blow. The winner will get 100,000, and the other two will get 50,000. Of course, if you can't afford to play, you can leave now."
After saying that, Old Han sat down with a gloating look on his face.
Li Cheng looked at Director Pi, his expression suggesting that perhaps we should leave now?
Weng Xiaozhu also walked up to Director Pi and said softly, "Director Pi, please go away. Don't argue with Principal Han. I will settle the score with him later."
Director Pi stood up again, glanced at Old Han, and prepared to leave. At this moment, Old Han suddenly said, "Wow, a big director of a bank really can't afford to play around? You have to understand, if you leave, these two will have to pay me two hundred thousand!"
Upon hearing this, Director Pi became furious and pointed at Old Han, cursing, "You're trying to steal the money, aren't you? Why should they give you 200,000 yuan?"
Old Han didn't explain, but just looked at Li Cheng and Weng Xiaozhu.
Director Pi quickly looked at the two of them, only to see that they both had serious expressions on their faces.
Weng Xiaozhu's face turned grim. She pointed at the door and said, "Director Pi, please leave. I'm to blame for what happened today, so I should be the one to clean up the mess."
Li Cheng also said, "Principal Han was talking about the rules of playing cards here. But it doesn't matter. You go on your way, and Mr. Weng and I will take care of the aftermath."
When Director Pi saw the expressions of these two people, he thought to himself, I am a director, do I need you to clean up after me?
As the saying goes, wealth makes the weak bold. After all, Director Pi was rumored to have a safe hidden in his basement.
He may not have more than others, but if you ask who has more money, he probably really doesn't accept the arrogant and domineering Principal Han.
"Leaving? Did I say leaving? Play cards!" Director Pi sat down again after saying that.
