Chapter 839 All-Out Attack
Deal the cards!
The female dealer was almost in tears. "What cards am I supposed to deal? If I lose this hand, I'll be done with this business!"
To be honest, they wouldn't stoop to cheating in this kind of game of comparing sizes. The stakes aren't high; it's mostly about psychology. Normal people who play here for a long time will lose more than they win.
"VIP...you...you're joking?"
Chen Xiao smiled: "I'm very serious."
"By the way, do you dare to bet?" he asked, looking at Wu Pei. Wu Pei's face turned green; she finally realized that her loss during the day wasn't unjustified!
The female dealer refused to deal the cards, saying she needed to consult her supervisor. Fortunately, Chen Xiao wasn't there to gamble, so he waved his hand and said, "You tell me, what's the maximum you can accept?"
"Is 110,000 okay?"
"No, too slow! 100,000, or I'll complain about you!" Under Chen Xiao's threat, the female dealer gave in!
Watching Chen Xiao play like this, Wu Pei was somewhat distracted. Moreover, Chen Xiao seemed to be winning consistently, while he kept losing!
"Old Cha, how many rounds are you going to play? You can't lose even if you want to! Play for another ten minutes!"
In just a short while, they won over a million. The female dealer's hands were trembling as she dealt the cards. Seeing a man in a manager's uniform approaching, it seemed they were about to replace him!
The female dealer's mindset is unstable, and her luck is bad. She needs someone else to change her luck!
Seeing that the female dealer was having bad luck, Wu Pei, who was standing next to her, also tried her hand for a few rounds, betting over 1 yuan each time. She won a small amount of 6 to 7 yuan, and her courage gradually grew.
"Okay, that's enough playing. Let's go—"
Chen Xiao now had nearly 600 million chips. He casually took out 2 chips each and tossed them to numbers 88 and 58: "Here, have some celebratory chips!"
This is also the main reason why No. 88 came along. Chen Xiao always sends out "happy noodles" whenever he wins money!
"Mr. Chen, do you still need me to stay with you?" Number 88 asked softly.
Waving his hand, he said, "No need, we're going back!"
"Then, would you like to stay here for a while?"
Turning his head, Chen Xiao smiled and said, "Make yourselves at home, but this place might not be suitable for you!" But seeing how eager the two of them were to try their luck, they probably thought they had good luck with this gambling platform, so they decided to gamble with their 2 yuan. Maybe they could turn a bicycle into a motorcycle!
Just 10 minutes before Chen Xiao finished his inspection.
Jiangzhou Hat Uncle's headquarters received a call—a concerned citizen reported that a private casino was operating inside Tianchi Hot Spring, where people were gambling.
If the people don't report it, the officials can ignore it! But when someone reported it, it quickly attracted attention!
"【Tianchi Hot Spring】?" The person in the main seat, with a calm demeanor and the dignity of a superior, frowned upon hearing the name 【Tianchi Hot Spring】!
"I heard it's because of that person?" One of his men pointed in a certain direction.
"Yes, everyone says they're related to that big boss!"
"What should we do? We definitely can't not do it, but if we do it, we might anger that person. We can't stand it if they even sneeze."
The man at the head of the table pondered for a long time: "Logically speaking, that person's relative shouldn't be involved in these businesses. Look at his business portfolio; it's basically technology and manufacturing, plus some real industries. He doesn't even touch the internet; why would he be interested in this?"
"By the way, was it an anonymous report?"
The man sitting to the left, who had been looking strange and hadn't had a chance to speak yet, reported: "The strangest thing is this. The whistleblower is a member of General Manager Chen's security detail from Junxiao Group. He even provided us with his employee number, which we can verify!"
Whoosh! Everyone stand up!
The man in the main seat declared decisively, "Then what are we waiting for? Launch a full-scale attack!"
Mr. Chen's guards only obey Mr. Chen's orders. Do I need to say more about what they should do?
Inside the parking lot of Tianchi Hot Spring, Chen Xiao sat in the Maybach he was inspecting.
"Mr. Chen, why did you stop playing after only a short while? Is it because your child is too small and you're not satisfied?"
Chen Xiao smiled faintly: "There will be a good show later." He was keeping track of the time.
Inside the Tianchi Hot Spring, in Zhao Rui's private room. After Chen Xiao and Cha Lan left, Xiao Wu also left, leaving only President Yang and President Zhao!
"This guy surnamed Chen is a bit ungrateful," Zhao Rui thought, surprised that Chen wasn't interested at all in his offer of help.
Mr. Yang smiled ingratiatingly: "Young and impetuous, he really did not know the immensity of the world!"
Hmph! Zhao Rui, holding his teacup, sneered, "No wonder he's so bold. His friend beat Lao Gao into the hospital twice. He even dared to steal the woman that Boss Zhang had his eye on. He'll probably die without even knowing how he died."
General Manager Yang didn't know who General Manager Zhang was, but hearing the solemn expression on his face when General Manager Zhang was mentioned, he could tell that General Manager Zhang was probably a very important figure in his eyes. He also understood that Zhao Rui's previous recruitment of him was probably not out of admiration, but rather to recruit him for easier maneuvering!
Ring ring—
The landline in the room rang shrilly. He slowly reached for it and answered, "Hello—"
"Boss, something terrible has happened! A bunch of uncles in hats have arrived!"
Suddenly, Zhao Rui stood up, his face full of disbelief: "What's going on? How could they possibly be here?"
He immediately took out his phone and dialed!
"Beep beep beep, the number you dialed is currently busy."
Was the call hung up? Mr. Zhao suddenly had a bad feeling; the other party had never hung up on him before!
After waiting for three minutes, Mr. Zhao still hadn't received a message from the other party!
He dialed again, but the call was hung up again! General Manager Zhao panicked. The raid had begun; the top floor was completely sealed off, and no one inside had escaped!
It's all over. President Zhao knows that Tianchi Hot Spring is doomed this time.
Inside the rooftop casino, Wu Pei was deathly pale. How could she be so unlucky? Getting caught gambling once! A fine and a warning wouldn't be a problem. The problem was tomorrow was her reporting day to Junxiao Capital, and this detention would delay her start date. And with this experience, would she even be able to get into Junxiao Capital?
Not only was Wu Pei panicked, but President Liang was even more so. All the money Wu Pei had used for gambling today was his. He had gone to great lengths to curry favor with Wu Pei, all in hopes that Wu Pei would join Junxiao Capital and help him with his fundraising! But if she got in, and he couldn't, not only would his money be wasted, but his fundraising would also be ruined!
The women next to him, number 58 and 88, were even more horrified. They were both regular foot massage therapists. Normally, even if they were inspected, it was a problem on the 4th or 5th floor, something that had nothing to do with them. But today…
They borrowed 2 yuan from Chen Xiao, hoping to try their luck. They were on a winning streak, each winning tens of thousands of yuan and were quite pleased with themselves, when suddenly their joy turned to sorrow!
He had great luck, but terrible fortune! He didn't even win any money, and he lost the 2 yuan in celebratory noodles Chen Xiao gave him. He might even face detention and re-education!
In the parking lot downstairs, Chen Xiao, sitting in his Maybach, watched as cars with their roof lights flashing kept coming in. His consciousness returned to the system:
[Ding~ Mission complete!]
Task objective: Close [Tianchi Hot Spring] for rectification.
[Mission Reward: Constitution +2, Stamina +2, Dedication +2] That's right, such a large-scale operation, and they caught us red-handed. The venue will definitely have to be closed for rectification, and someone will be going in.
However, it's definitely not Zhao Rui who will go in; he'll be the scapegoat! Generally, for this kind of project, they find a scapegoat to act as the legal representative, while the real boss is behind the scenes.
Alright, mission accomplished! All that hard work here wasn't in vain. However—
He thought of Diao Chan, wondering if he had caused her to lose her job. Should he find her one? But then he thought of that stubborn beauty, and how the two of them were currently going through a rough patch, and he didn't want to message her first.
Never mind, I'll help her another time!
"Let's go back to [Xishan Linyu]!"
Cha Lan bought a house in Xishan Linyu so that he could spend more time with Chen Xiao, which would serve as his and Zhang Yan's "temporary residence"!
Back home, Zhao Xiangjun and He Qing were sitting on the sofa talking when Chen Xiao came over and sat down next to Zhao Xiangjun.
"Chen Xiao, are you free next Wednesday?"
Hearing Zhao Xiangjun's question, Chen Xiao shook his head: "It's nothing, even if something were to happen. My wife has arranged things for me, so I'm fine!"
Knowing he was being cheeky, Zhao Xiangjun cut straight to the point: "Siyao is treating us to dinner next Wednesday!"
Siyao? Chen Xiao looked confused. Do I know her?
"That's my cousin. Oh, right, her boyfriend, haven't you met him before?"
Chen Xiao knew who it was; it was the one who had asked Zhao Xiangjun to buy her a limited edition LV bag last time.
"She's treating? When we get to Jiangzhou, we can just eat at a hotel or at home!"
"She's not short of money for a meal. Since she's going to treat us, let her pay."
That's true, so Chen Xiao didn't insist any further.
Nanyuan Mountain Villa
This is a farmhouse resort in the suburbs of Jiangzhou, near the dock! It was Chen Xiao's first time here, and he joked with Zhao Xiangjun, who was sitting in the back of the Rolls-Royce Phantom: "If she hadn't told me the location, I would have thought she booked our 'Azam'."
Zhao Xiangjun gently stroked her lower abdomen with one hand as she introduced, "Siyao, I haven't seen her for five or six years!"
"Aren't you a little happy?" Chen Xiao teased her.
Why are you happy?
"You haven't seen her for so many years, aren't you happy to see her?"
"There's nothing to be happy about. With such advanced high-speed rail, if she wanted to see me, she would have come years ago."
Sigh, Xiangjun sees everything so clearly; people like that must miss out on a lot of fun!
"Don't overthink it, that's how most relatives are!"
"I didn't think much about it. In this world, as long as you're good to me, that's enough. Nothing else matters."
Chen Xiao smiled; he knew she genuinely didn't care! Her demands were truly low. When he first met her, she hadn't placed much hope in her parents or brothers! It was as if it didn't matter if the whole world treated her badly; she could still treat society kindly!
"Sister Yan, you take Xiangjun over first, I need to go to the restroom!"
Because it was located in the suburbs, the Nanyuan Villa occupied a large area. Chen Xiao came out of the restroom and was about to ask a waiter to take him to the Nanshan Hall, which his cousin Siyao had booked. Just then, the phone rang. Chen Xiao picked it up and realized it was Lin Ya calling!
As he swiped to answer the call, he walked out of the lobby of Nanyuan Villa. "Back in Jiangzhou?"
"Not yet, I plan to go back the day after tomorrow—"
"Hey, I thought I could try out those positions we talked about last time tonight!"
Even though they've been married for a long time, Lin Ya wasn't shy at all. She said softly, "I'll let you try them the day after tomorrow. Try them all!"
Chen Xiao's body suddenly felt hot. Damn it, his stamina was too high! He couldn't take it anymore! He wondered if Viagra would have this effect!
"I need to talk to you about something; my cousin contacted me today."
Cousin? Chen Xiao's first thought was that he was Lin Ya's cousin, but after hearing the name, his expression darkened. What was Zhang Yi thinking about all day long?
Doing business in Junxiao Plaza is fine, and we can offer some support, even the same kind of rent support as Chen Long and Ma Jian! But what were you thinking when you asked Lin Ya to do something that would damage Junxiao Commercial Management's reputation?
Lin Ya naturally refused, regardless of Zhang Yigao's displeasure—this was a matter of principle! At the same time, she called Chen Xiao to let him know immediately what her cousin was doing outside, to prevent things from spiraling out of control later!
After hanging up the phone, I walked back into the restaurant and ran into an acquaintance!
"Hey, what are you doing here?"
Chen Xiao was surprised to run into Zhao Rui, the owner of Tianchi Hot Spring, here. What was he doing here? Was it because Tianchi Hot Spring had been closed for rectification for a month and he had nothing to do?
"Damn, you didn't follow me here, did you?" Zhao Rui's expression suddenly changed, remembering what this guy had said during their last card game. Was he sure he'd run into the boss of Junxiao Group when Zhao Rui met him?
Chen Xiao was taken aback, not understanding what he meant. But stalking him? That's crazy! "President Zhao, you're a bit too arrogant."
After saying that, Chen Xiao walked towards the private room inside.
Zhao Rui was left watching his retreating figure with a mixture of anger and uncertainty. Are all young people these days so arrogant? If I hadn't been with President Shi today, I would have taught you a lesson!
Inside the private room were Zhao Xiangjun, Wang Siyao, and Shi Long!
When Chen Xiao entered, Wang Siyao and Shi Longshua immediately stood up and called out in unison, "President Chen!"
He pressed his hands down and said, "Sit down, we're all family, don't be shy!"
Upon hearing the phrase "family," Wang Siyao's face flushed with excitement. Shi Long, on the other hand, was so excited he almost had a stroke. He regretted not recording the conversation; otherwise, this would be practically a royal decree in all of Junxiao Group's projects!
Because she was Zhao Xiangjun's relative, Chen Xiao didn't say much. He listened to Wang Siyao and Zhao Xiangjun reminiscing; Wang Siyao was very talkative and chattered on and on!
Zhao Xiangjun's responses were mostly just "um," "yes," and "okay!" Chen Xiao roughly counted, and the sentence Xiangjun said the most was "okay!", while the rest were all one-word sentences!
She's usually not very talkative and doesn't like to waste time! But what Wang Siyao is saying right now is basically just meaningless nonsense!
For the first three-quarters of the meal, Wang Siyao talked about her childhood to build rapport, and only later did she get to the point, saying that she wanted to develop her career in Jiangzhou and open a beauty salon, and even asked Zhao Xiangjun if she wanted to invest!
Zhao Xiangjun certainly wouldn't invest; in fact, she was quite troubled. With all these relatives flocking in, peaceful days were numbered! (End of Chapter)
