Chapter 782
You should save it for getting married.
Of course, Chen Xiao wanted to find out who this was.
If they are relatives of Xiangjun, then a reminder is necessary. Having the resources of Junxiao Group, it's truly inappropriate for them to go and make money this way. Besides, running both a debt collection company and doing this kind of work is shameful.
"Okay, could you ask for me? If you have the chance, could you introduce me to them?"
His tone was so arrogant that it made everyone present feel as if he were giving the owner of Tianchi Hot Springs an incredibly high honor.
Mr. Zhang scoffed, "Brother, for now, just let Boss Wu protect you. Don't try to curry favor with just anyone who's powerful. You're not even close to that level yet."
After saying that, he glanced at the cards in his hand, somewhat frustrated. A single Ace. Normally, everyone else would be playing blindly, and he would follow suit. But Chen Xiao was a reckless fool.
Before, I didn't have many chips, so I just sat there waiting. Now that I have nearly 7000 chips, won't I be stuck there forever?
Thinking of this, he threw away his cards. Mr. Zhao probably had a similar thought; he glanced at his cards and threw them away as well.
"Alright, Chen Xiao, it's just the two of us left. I'll reveal your hand—" Xiao Wu said, throwing down 200 chips and revealing Chen Xiao's hand.
Chen Xiao was straightforward and flipped over the cards: 2, 5, 8.
Upon seeing this, everyone exclaimed, "General Manager Wu has won the prize!"
Xiao Wu confidently flipped over his cards, then exclaimed, "Holy crap—!"
"Chen Xiao, yours is big!"
His cards were 2, 3, and 7.
Mr. Zhang was frustrated again. He should have gone all in on the chips on the table. That guy surnamed Chen was incredibly lucky.
"You're incredibly lucky!" even player number 8 couldn't help but exclaim. Winning with 2, 5, and 8 is truly impressive!
"Haha, it's all thanks to you. Looks like I always win when it comes to numbers ending in 8," Chen Xiao joked.
Number 8 wasn't modest at all, saying, "From now on, don't worship the God of Wealth, worship me instead!"
For some reason, Chen Xiao suddenly remembered that Luffy had changed the company's God of Wealth into a statue of Wei Ming and placed it in the office and restroom.
He glanced at number 8, then realized that his thoughts were somewhat unhealthy, and silently murmured "Amitabha" several times!
Hmph, what a petty person who's gotten his way! General Manager Zhang and General Manager Zhao glanced at Chen Xiao, who was chatting happily with Number 8, and were filled with jealousy!
They say good fortune at the casino leads to bad luck in love. But Chen Xiao is winning money and chatting so happily with technician number 8!
After a few rounds, they finally understood. Chen Xiao wasn't playing Texas Hold'em at all; he was playing "all in one go"!
Mr. Zhang didn't believe Chen Xiao's luck would last, so he had his technician bring him another 20,000 chips. Usually, he'd only win or lose 10,000 or 20,000 chips in half a day, but today, after just half an hour, he'd already lost 10,000. He was getting desperate; he had to win it all back!
Especially when Chen Xiao said, "General Manager Wu, could you call someone else? I'm leaving in an hour at most."
This made Mr. Zhang and Mr. Zhao think this guy was boring; he won money and then ran away. While they despised him, they cherished the opportunity even more. "You've always been so taciturn, haven't you? I refuse to believe I can't catch you this time."
The result—you really can't deny it!
Mr. Zhang got a pair of Aces and immediately went all-in against Chen Xiao. After putting up 2 chips, he called Chen Xiao, who also had a pair of Aces.
Mr. Zhang has a pair of A+6s, while Chen Xiao has a pair of A+8s.
Damn, this is really weird! Could it be that number 8 is really lucky for him? If that's the case, from now on, when he comes to play cards, we'll just let number 8 sit on the side and take a cut of the winnings!
After Mr. Zhang lost, the next person to speak was Mr. Zhao. He had the wrong chips, and he put all his remaining 6000 chips in, but he was also defeated by Chen Xiao!
At this moment, they all went berserk!
Both Mr. Zhang and Mr. Zhao each demanded 2 in chips.
Chen Xiao counted his chips. "Wow, I've already made 5 without even realizing it. Looks like it won't be easy to lose it all! Can we just bet 5?"
His words shocked everyone present!
So, who exactly is the big boss?
Three business owners were startled by an office worker!
He offered 50,000, and no one dared to accept. At this moment, only Xiao Wu hadn't lost much; a few thousand yuan wasn't a significant blow to him.
"Chen Xiao, stop joking. We mainly focus on entertainment. You really want to make a living from this? That's too much of a gamble!"
With a sigh, Chen Xiao shook his head: "Actually, I just want to lose it all as quickly as possible!"
Damn it, that's infuriating!
Isn't this Versailles? Especially later on, when Mr. Zhang and Mr. Zhao kept losing to him, everyone lost interest in playing.
If Chen Xiao wins all of this for an hour, what's the point of playing?
Even if it were the gambling king, he wouldn't do it like this, would he?
To be honest, even Chen Xiao himself couldn't understand it; it was a situation where he couldn't lose even if he wanted to. He drew small cards, and they either discarded them or dealt even smaller ones.
If they get a strong hand, I'll definitely get an even stronger one. An hour was almost up, and only heavy breathing filled the room.
"This is my last round. I'm betting all 10 on it. Anyone want to play?"
No one responded to him. They admitted defeat today; they really couldn't beat him. Mr. Zhang and Mr. Zhao could afford to lose tens of thousands each. But if they put in another 10, they wouldn't be able to make a difference. Losing hundreds of thousands would be crippling!
The final game ended smoothly, with Chen Xiao winning by a small margin.
Mr. Zhang and Mr. Zhao were somewhat relieved; they had almost fallen for the "Japanese devil's" trick. Thankfully, they had managed to hold back and not argue with him!
Chen Xiaoqing counted the chips; there were 104,000!
He collected all the chips and handed them to number 8. "Here, they're yours!"
Number 8 took it: "Okay, I'll go get it done for you. The refund will be sent to the card number you just used to make the payment, okay?"
Chen Xiao knew she had misunderstood. He had previously said that if she had 2000 chips and could dominate the game, she would get all the winnings. But she thought he meant for her to exchange them for cash.
"No need to return them, you can have them all!"
hiss--
A collective gasp swept through the crowd – that's 10 yuan! Was this guy serious or just joking? They were a little skeptical, thinking he was just trying to fool technician number 8.
Mr. Zhang sneered and remained silent. If this technician, number 8, could be bought for 10 yuan, would she still be working here?
Technician number 8 paused for a moment, then said crisply, "I don't want it. You can keep it to get married—"
Chen Xiao almost choked. "I need a bride price to get married? My Xiangjun was even planning to support me back then."
“I have a wife now, so I can give you this money whenever I want,” Chen Xiao waved his hand, as if the 10 yuan was trash.
"I don't want it. Why would I take your money for no reason?"
"I've explained why!" Chen Xiao said with a smile.
"I don't accept it!" Number 8 laughed as well.
These two were treating everyone like air. Xiao Wu and the others had their mouths agape, but couldn't get a word in edgewise! Meanwhile, the technicians were practically drooling.
"Give it to me! Give it to me!" everyone cried out in their hearts.
Chen Xiao looked at Number 8, and for some reason, he saw determination on her face, confirming that she definitely didn't want it, which surprised him somewhat. In this kind of place, to refuse 10 yuan, especially 10 yuan without any demands, was something very few people could do.
"You can't expect me to break my promise!" Chen Xiao said with a faint smile.
Number 8 shook his head: "Give it to someone else, I don't want it. I can't sleep if I take your money."
Chen Xiao took the chips, thought for a moment, and then picked out 1000 chips and gave them to the technician next to Boss Zhang: "Here, everyone gets a share, this is for your celebration!" "Thank you, Boss Chen!" the technician replied, not refusing. 1,000 yuan! That's more than she could earn in a whole day's work.
The same method was used on the technician next to General Manager Zhao, who responded with, "Thank you, General Manager Chen!"
He took another 1000 chips and looked at technician number 56 next to Xiao Wu, "You..."
Number 56's face lit up with joy, but then he heard Chen Xiao say, "You don't!"
Damn it! Technician number 56 almost cried from anger. She realized that when she started by teasing him, this guy was getting back at her. Fine, don't give it to me, why is he doing this? It's disgusting.
Chen Xiao handed the remaining chips to Technician Number 8. "Don't refund the money, just use it all to top up my membership card. I'll help you complete some tasks; you have to give me that face, right?"
He assumed that technician number 8 wouldn't refuse. After all, he wouldn't have to worry about her taking his money and then making any demands.
"Come on, there's nothing wrong with keeping money on you. Why put it all in your membership card? Do you hate money?" Number 8 rolled his eyes.
"Okay, could you top up my card with 2000 yuan? Consider it helping me complete my task. Thank you. I'll exchange the rest for cash!"
Drop drop!
Just as Technician Number 8 finished speaking, their timer went off. The clock had just run out, and Chen Xiao said goodbye to Xiao Wu and the others, then said to Technician Number 8, "Let me go out with you—"
As soon as I stepped out of the private room, I heard a "tap tap tap" sound behind me.
"Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen, is it convenient to add each other on WeChat?"
It turned out to be one of the technicians who had been with General Manager Zhang and General Manager Zhao. They had caught up with him after their shift ended. They saw how generous Chen Xiao was, even though he didn't have the same resources as General Manager Wu and the others.
But so what? What they need isn't financial strength, because they're not planning to marry him anyway; what they need is a wealthy client who's willing to spend money.
"Let's not add each other on WeChat. I never add people on WeChat, and besides, I don't come here often," Chen Xiao said, maintaining basic politeness despite his refusal.
Although the two technicians were somewhat disappointed, they could only smile and leave. No one knew how much they would have lost by not adding this wave.
Technician number 8 was at the service desk, processing Chen Xiao's refund. She acted as if she hadn't seen the other two technicians poaching her clients.
After a while, technician number 8 came over: "Check if the payment has arrived; there's a notification."
Chen Xiao waved his hand: "I'm not looking anymore, there's too much junk information."
Technician #8 laughed in exasperation: "Who told you to look at junk messages? I told you to check if the 10 yuan has arrived in your account yet."
"Isn't this still spam?" Chen Xiao said matter-of-factly, which made Technician No. 8 pause for a moment, and then said angrily, "I didn't realize you were such a good actor."
He sighed, picked up his toolbox, and said, "I'm leaving, bye!"
Little did she know that Chen Xiao treated even the daily minimum living allowance of 10 million yuan as junk information, let alone the 1300 yuan deposited into his account, as spam and never looked at it.
"Wait a moment--"
Technician No. 8 hadn't taken more than a few steps when Chen Xiao called her back!
"???" Technician No. 8 looked puzzled.
"Come on, let's add each other on WeChat."
"."
"Didn't you just say you never add people on WeChat?" Number 8 asked hesitantly.
Chen Xiao could tell that the other person wasn't too keen on adding him on WeChat. He immediately laughed in exasperation: "If I don't add you on WeChat, how am I supposed to make an appointment with you next time I come?"
Number 8 replied matter-of-factly: "No need to make an appointment. Just come as usual. If I'm here, I'll be here. If I'm not, you can call someone else!"
"." This was the first time Chen Xiao had encountered a woman who didn't value him at all, especially in this kind of setting. Back in the nightclubs, those women practically wanted to devour him. If he were willing to add them on WeChat, they'd probably be willing to shorten their lives by 20 years.
"Hurry up, stop talking nonsense. Have you forgotten what I asked you to find out? You don't have WeChat, how are you going to tell me?" Chen Xiao wouldn't allow her to refuse.
Hearing "Stop talking nonsense" made Number 8 even more unwilling. You're a customer, you're paying money, and I respect you and will do my job. But after I get off work, who knows who?
But after hearing what Chen Xiao said next, I realized that it made sense; how could I tell him the information I had helped him find out without WeChat?
I was going to say "I'll wait until you come next time," but then I thought better of it and reluctantly picked up my phone. "Fine, I'll scan your code!"
That's more like it. Chen Xiao's expression softened, and he handed over his phone's QR code.
Number 8 glanced at it, then suddenly froze: "Dude, are you kidding me?"
Huh? Chen Xiao followed her gaze and realized that what he had shown was not a WeChat QR code, but a payment code!
"Uh, sorry!" Chen Xiao said awkwardly, and quickly withdrew the message, replacing it with "add friend".
"Okay~!" Number 8 waved the iPhone in his hand.
Then, he picked up his toolbox, ready to leave. After taking a step, he turned back, pretending to be fierce, and said, "Let me tell you, I've never added a customer on WeChat before; you're the first. But—"
Never added a customer on WeChat? That's definitely an anomaly.
"But what?" Chen Xiao asked, noticing her hesitation. "Can't you just get to the point?"
Number 8 noticed that this person's way of speaking was particularly annoying, so he immediately said fiercely, "If you bother me for no reason, I can block you anytime."
Oh, so that's what it was. I thought it was something serious.
Chen Xiao was also in a hurry to find Zhang Ziqian and Qiu Qiaoqiao, so he waved goodbye!
At the same time, he said, "I never harass anyone. Well, I'm often the one being harassed. Let's both take your words to heart!"
"Tch—", Number 8 thought this person was really funny, picked up his suitcase and left.
Her footsteps were rhythmic, like the swaying of her slender waist and plump hips, seemingly possessing a natural attraction that drew people in to listen and watch!
As Chen Xiao took the elevator to the second floor to find Zhang Ziqian, he thought about technician number 8. Such a beautiful woman working here was such a waste! (End of Chapter)
