Chapter 42 Gold Chips

Twenty minutes later, He Zhenzhen came out again, dressed neatly.

There was no expression on his face, and he greeted everyone as if nothing had happened.

Including summer eucalyptus.

Last night, He Zhenzhen heard from Lin Jiajia a lot about how Xia An was a kind and innocent little boy, and her impression of him improved a lot.

But it was just used up again.

He Zhenzhen, who had to pretend to be calm even after exposing herself to him, suppressed the bitterness in her heart and nodded faintly to Xia An.

Xia An and the other two played poker naturally. No one mentioned what had just happened, and they all treated it as an illusion.

After lunch, He Zhenzhen walked leisurely to wash up.

When I came out again, I took the initiative to propose:

“Four of us, let’s play mahjong.”

As he spoke, his eyes swept across Xia An sharply.

Finally, he looked into Tang Wan’s eyes.

“It’s been a while since I’ve sat at the poker table with you.”

Tang Wan glanced at Xia An.

The two subjects smiled at each other.

How do you say this?

Right in the middle.

Xia An could see that He Zhenzhen wanted to deal with him.

But he was not afraid. Among the four people, three were friendly soldiers. What was there to be afraid of?

I agreed immediately.

He Zhenzhen looked at Lin Jiajia. They talked a lot last night and she knew Lin Jiajia’s family background.

But He Zhenzhen doesn’t care about money when making friends. Who can be richer than herself?

“Sister Jiajia, Xiaowan is very good. If you lose, your share will be mine.”

Lin Jiajia, who had thought she was just having some fun to kill time, only then realized that they wanted to spend money.

After thinking about it, she smiled and shook her head:

“It doesn’t matter. I’m older than you. How can I take advantage of you?”

In fact, I was thinking: Based on the poker skills just now, is Tang Wan really good? Just average.

Lin Jiajia is inexplicably confident.

Xia An then pointed at her and said to He Zhenzhen, “Hers is mine.”

Lin Jiajia was inexplicably moved.

Tang Wan asked He Zhenzhen how big she wanted to play.

He Zhenzhen stretched her arm across the sofa to reach for her bag.

After opening it, he took out three square golden plastic chips the size of cigarette boxes.

There is no amount of money marked on it, only three numbers: No. 35\36\37.

Not to mention Lin Jiajia, even Tang Wan didn’t know what this thing was.

Only Xia An raised his eyebrows and thought to himself: Rich families are extraordinary in their spending.

He Zhenzhen first said that gambling in groups is illegal in mainland China.

“So, play 8 rounds of cards, keep track of the points, no matter how many times you win or lose, it’s just one point, and self-draws are three times that.

“At the end of the day, it’s about the plus and minus.

“If you lose, empty your bank account and transfer the money to me after I leave the country.

“I lost, you take these three gold chips.”

Xia An subconsciously exclaimed “Wow” and thought to himself that he was really rich.

And if you transfer money after leaving the country, aren’t you afraid that it will not be recognized?
Xia An knew that He Zhenzhen was not being overconfident.

Being honest is the way to make friends and create opportunities.

If you are dishonest…

What does my He family need from you guys?
Of course, this does not include Tang Wan, and even Lin Jiajia is secondary. It only targets Xia An.

Seeing Xia An’s surprise, He Zhenzhen asked him if he knew this chip?

“do not know.”

Xia An held the playing cards upside down in his hand, smiled indifferently and shook his head, motioning her to continue.

He Zhenzhen explained in a few words.

Afterwards, Tang Wan frowned.

Lin Jiajia’s legs went limp with fear.

She secretly tugged at Xia An’s pants.

Xia An saw two meanings in Lin Jiajia’s confused and trembling eyes:

very scary.

So exciting.

Tang Wan asked Xia An, “Are you coming?”

Meaning: If you win, it would be too much of an advantage.

Watching the three of them discussing, He Zhenzhen rested her chin on her hand, shrugged her shoulders, and indicated, “Do whatever you want, I don’t care.”

Xia An smiled at Tang Wan and said, “How much do we have? If we win, we’ll make a fortune. Sister Zhenzhen clearly wants to help us poor people.”

He Zhenzhen snorted and mocked Xia An, “You have quite the gambling habit.”

There is a ready-made mahjong table in the small living room.

Tang Wan and He Zhenzhen know all the ways to play, but Lin Jiajia only knows the provincial capital rules.

The way to play mahjong in Dongshan is: no matter you draw by yourself or by clicking the cannon, you must win three games, and you are not allowed to be missing a one, a nine, or a door.

In the past two lifetimes, Xia An has played mahjong only a few times.

But since Tang Wan dared to say that she made a lot of money at school, he believed her unconditionally.

This amount of money may not be enough for He Zhenzhen to spend.

Automatic mahjong tables are very convenient.

When the cards started to be dealt, Xia An was puzzled and it took him several minutes to figure out how to win.

“Chicken.”

A picture popped up slowly, with a strong posture, but the accuracy was far off. It was obvious that a novice was imitating an old hand.

Not pretending at all.

“Real ink stains.”

He Zhenzhen, the next player, muttered, then drew a card and played: “Eight bamboos.”

The other three were stunned, looked at each other, and tried to hold back their laughter.

But He Zhenzhen seemed to remember something and burst out laughing first.

“Sister Jia Jia gave me a cupping session last night, and now I have an eight-cup on my back too.”

Now, no one could hold back any longer.

The room was filled with laughter.

Xia An suddenly discovered that the juvenile “He Zhen” had already developed his true temperament.

The first lap ended quickly.

He Zhenzhen won three games, two of which were won by Lin Jiajia and one by Xia An.

Tang Wan won a game by herself.

Both of them scored three points.

Xia An scored two points.

Lin Jiajia, who was on a three-point deficit, was almost losing her mind.

She didn’t want to break her promise, but she couldn’t even think about emptying her bank card.

At the beginning of the second round, whenever Tang Wan’s cards were not in good shape, she would take the initiative to feed cards to Xia An.

If he couldn’t catch it, Tang Wan would feed it to Lin Jiajia instead.

After a few times, Xia An, a layman, actually figured out the trick.

I sighed inwardly, what a wealth of experience! Tang Wan and He Zhenzhen, two highly intelligent contestants, seemed to be able to calculate exactly what everyone had and what they wanted.

If Tang Wan fights, one of him and Lin Jiajia will definitely get hurt.

If He Zhenzhen played it, no one would want it. She was clearly aware that the only way to win was to win as quickly as possible without any warning.

Xia An looked at himself and the extremely nervous Lin Jiajia on the opposite side, like a bronze rookie who had accidentally entered the peak competition.

The second lap ends.

Tang Wan called out the cannon four times, Xia An was the banker in three rounds, and even Lin Jiajia won a round by herself.

He Zhenzhen’s score was zero, and Tang Wan was at the bottom with a loss of 2.

He Zhenzhen, who knew she was fighting three people alone, poked Tang Wan with her feet.

“I expected you to do this, but I didn’t expect you to give away cards so obviously. Hey, where are your poker manners from before?”

Seeing her playing tricks on his girlfriend, Xia An was unhappy.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to retort, He Zhenzhen immediately said to him, “Shut up, you don’t understand mahjong at all.”

Tang Wan and Lin Jiajia both laughed when they heard this.

It was indeed true, Xia An’s skills were so clumsy that anyone could see through him at a glance.

But after Tang Wan finished laughing, she immediately raised her chin towards He Zhenzhen.

Replied: “You don’t understand love at all.”

He Zhenzhen, feeling heartbroken, pouted and waved her hand: “Keep going.”

In the third round, Tang Wan continued to feed Xia An and Lin Jiajia, trying to make them hear the cards as soon as possible.

Xia An was just down the street from her, and whenever they met, she would always say:

“Yes, that’s it. It smells really good when my wife feeds it.”

After several times, He Zhenzhen couldn’t stand it anymore.

She said to Tang Wan, “How could you fall for such a smooth-talking little man?”

Then he said to Lin Jiajia, who was currently ranked first and beaming, “You clearly told me last night that he was an outstanding young man with a positive attitude.”

Tang Wan shrugged and hit a six. Lin Jiajia said in surprise, “Bang.”

Looking at He Zhenzhen, whose face was filled with gloom, Xia An said, “I have a strong objection to what you said.”

He Zhenzhen was about to explode with anger. She said with a dark face, “What’s wrong with that? I saw it with my own eyes. What do you think?”

Xia An drew a card and said, “I have objections to the words ‘small,’ ‘slippery,’ and ‘positive.'”

He then pointed at the table and said, “Now there’s an extra ‘saw it with my own eyes’. Hey, I touched it myself.”

As soon as the card was pushed, Xia An automatically wrote the score on the hotel’s notepad.

He Zhenzhen was slow to react after being criticized.

When the third round of cards was almost over, he gritted his teeth and glared at Xia An, squeezed out a word “obscene”, and then answered the phone that had been ringing for a long time.

Xia An was spinning mahjong tiles when she heard He Zhenzhen walk to the window and say into the phone, “Okay, got it, Aunt Qiong. Yeah, I’ll be downstairs in twenty minutes.”

After He Zhenzhen came back, she said she didn’t want to play anymore, and then she gave Tang Wan a cold look:
“My skills are still not as good as yours. There’s no point in playing any further. If you just win two rounds, I’ll definitely be at the bottom.

“Forget it, this thing is just for show. Just tell me in advance when you go to play.”

He Zhenzhen threw the gold chips onto the table and went to pack her bag.

Tang Wan followed with a smile and coaxed her for a few words. Then He Zhenzhen turned around with a “tsk” sound and pointed at Xia An and said:
“Don’t let me know that you bully Xiao Wan, otherwise, hmph!”

Xia An smiled but said nothing.

Lin Jiajia was stunned holding the rare limited edition MGM gold chips in her hand.

After a long while, he whispered to Xia An, “Is this thing really worth one million US dollars?”

Xia An nodded and then shook his head.

MGM will officially open in December next year.

At the beginning of the business, anti-counterfeiting gold chips numbered 1-200 were printed for internal gifts.

The validity period is limited to one month after opening.

With this golden chip, you will be admitted as a VIP, with free food and accommodation, and you can enter the casino for entertainment and choose to bet on any item once.

Amount replaced: US$100 million.

If you win, you can continue playing and cash out if you win again, but if you lose, it’s gone.

But within that month, the gold chips cannot be directly exchanged for cash and taken away.

However, after the one-month deadline, the casino will repurchase the gold chips at a price of US$20.

So including food and accommodation expenses, its actual value should be around 150 million RMB.

150 million is the value of Lin Jiajia.

But for Xia An, this gold chip is equivalent to a pass.

He felt that if he held on to it, he would be able to cash it out far more than $100 million sooner or later.

Only today did he find out that He Zhenzhen actually had such a good relationship with that infatuated female billionaire.

Lin Jiajia slumped in the chair, looked up at the ceiling and sighed.

“150 million…

“I just won a few rounds of poker and I made 150 million?
“This world is terrible.”

She kept muttering, and when He Zhenzhen came to say goodbye with her bag, she just waved her hand weakly and said, “Bye, Princess.”

Tang Wan followed He Zhenzhen downstairs and did not return until she had sent her away.

Xia An asked a few detailed questions and learned that “Auntie Qiong” was attending a meeting in Binhai, and He Zhenzhen had come here with her.

We just applied for the private jet route and left together.

Tang Wan asked Xia An not to hold a grudge against He Zhenzhen for her sharp tongue.

“Zhenzhen said you are very smart and at least you won’t let me suffer any loss.”

“Holding a grudge? If she throws millions at me every time we meet, I might even learn cupping.”

……

Lin Jiajia was overwhelmed by the huge profits and said she wanted to sleep for a while.

Xia An took Tang Wan for a casual walk on the street.

Tang Wan said that He Zhenzhen actually noticed that she seemed to have conflicts with her family and her financial situation was not good.

Play majiang?
He just deliberately found different ways to give money to Tang Wan.

Xia An said that he could see that, “You two have a very good relationship.”

Tang Wan asked him when he would return to Dongshan?

“Tomorrow, I’ll stay with you one more night.” Xia An said.

Tang Wan has to write a report, so he will be busy when he returns.

First, I need to explain the stock matter to my dad.

After a week of limit up, the 70,000 yuan has become more than 100,000 yuan.

Tang Wan told him:
“Don’t take the golden chips too seriously. When you have time next year, go and see them as a trip.

“But you’re not allowed to learn to gamble. In the eyes of those of us who study probability, there’s no such thing as a guaranteed win.”

Xia An especially liked her ability to grasp the right measure and scale.

Nodding, he said, “Morals are the most important thing, and we should not be confused by material things. I understand.”

Across the square is a McDonald’s which has just opened.

Tang Wan wanted to eat ice cream, so Xia An took her through the underground passage to queue up.

Looking at the white traces of milk at the corners of Tang Wan’s mouth, before he could say a few obscene words, his cell phone rang.

It was a call from Xia’s mother, Wei Xiaofang.

As soon as he heard this sentence, Xia An’s heart skipped a beat.

“What? Mom, what did you say? What number did my dad mumble?”

Wei Xiaofang was very anxious, otherwise she would not be able to call Xia An.

For some unknown reason, Xia Kangning suddenly developed a fever.

“Just like you did that night, talking nonsense.

“You were saying ‘grapefruit grapefruit’ or something like that, and your dad was saying ‘birthday birthday 0804’…

“Come back soon, son!

“I asked the immortal, and they said that there’s evil spirits in our family, and we need to perform a ritual!”
