Power and Wealth Chapter 1247: Let me play-Sis Zhang

Chapter 1247: Let me play, Sis Zhang

Early morning.

1 am.

Everyone sat inside the VIP room.

Dices were rolled, and Ms. Leng was the banker for the first round. Zhang Longjuan was the player before she and the round started. The automatic mahjong table shuffled the tiles, and the players started taking them.

“Six Wan”

“East”

“Nine Bamboos”

The players chatted while playing.

Song Yuhu smiled. “How’s business, Ms. Zhang?”

Zhang Longjuan grabbed a tile and replied. “It’s hard to earn money now.”

Mr. Wei laughed. “What about us if you think it is hard to make money? Your business is the biggest among us. Oh, Old Song. What business are you doing now?”

Song Yuhu replied. “It’s nothing worth mentioning.”

Ms. Leng looked at him. “I don’t think so. The more successful your business is, the humbler you are. Mr. Wei and I kept talking about our businesses because we are not as successful as you.”

Song Yuhu replied. “You all are modest.”

Zhang Longjuan smiled. “Stop pretending to be poor.”

Ms. Leng laughed. “We are not wealthy compared to you.”

Dong Xuebing, who had been looking at Zhang Longjuan’s tiles behind her, could tell her business was one of the biggest among all the guests on the ship. Even when her company is in trouble now, it is still more significant than others.

“Three Wan.”

“Three Circles.”

“Three Circles.”

The game continued.

After taking one from the table, Zhang Longjuan did not need to look at her tile. She felt it with her finger and flipped all her tiles over. “Sorry, I won.”

Zhang Longjuan won the first round.

The staff started counting her points and recorded them.

Ms. Leng said. “You are lucky today, Sis Zhang.”

Zhang Longjuan smiled as she pushed her tiles forward. “It’s a small win.”

Song Yuhu said. “Are we settling after every round or settling after each game?”

“Let’s settle after each round.” Mr. Wei said. “I feel better knowing how much I won or lost.”

“All right. We will settle the winnings after each round.” Ms. Leng signaled to her bodyguard, and he passed the chips to Zhang Longjuan.

Song Yuhu and Mr. Wei pushed their chips to Zhang Longjuan. But they lost lesser compared to Ms. Leng because she was the banker.

Although Zhang Longjuan said it was a small win, the amount was not small to Dong Xuebing. Maybe their bets were too high, or it was a big win. She won at least 10,000 USD in this round.

Mr. Wei was the banker for the next round.

Song Yuhu won the round a few minutes later.

Song Yuhu was the banker for the third round, and Zhang Longjuan won. It was a big win this time.

It was Zhang Longjuan’s turn to be the banker, and she won again. It was Mr. Wei who threw the winning tile.

Zhang Longjuan was still the banker for the fifth round, and Ms. Leng broke her winning streak with a small win.

The game was over, and Zhang Longjuan had won many chips. She was the winner.

“Are we continuing?”

“Let’s continue.”

“Ok. Let me use the restroom first.”

Song Yuhu went to the restroom in the VIP room. Ms. Leng went to drink water, and Mr. Wei lit a cigarette. He saw Zhang Longjuan lighting a cigarette and smiled.

Zhang Longjuan walked over to Dong Xuebing and Shen Xiaomei and sat beside them.

Dong Xuebing asked. “Did you win a lot?”

Zhang Longjuan replied. “Not bad. This is only the start, and mahjong is only the appetizer. The highlight is the card games later.”

Dong Xuebing nodded. “Then you carry on. I will go out for a walk.”

“Go on. Take some chips and have fun.”

“No need. I am only looking around and not going to gamble.”

The bets in the VIP room are too big, and Dong Xuebing felt tense watching them. He had been sweating for half an hour and worried for Zhang Longjuan. He does not mind if he is playing with his own money as the money was won from lotteries. He does not feel anything, even if he lost it. But Zhang Longjuan had sold everything to gamble. These were her last chance. He did not want to see her lose.

It makes no difference whether he was around.

Dong Xuebing left the VIP room as it was too tense inside.

Dong Xuebing returned to the main lobby and stood at the tables to learn the rules.

The casino was getting hot.

All the guests were engrossed in the games. Many lost and went to change more chips. Dong Xuebing saw someone left with his head bowed down.

This is a casino.

This is a bottomless pit.

Db shook his head and walked to the smoking area for a smoke. He wished Zhang Longjuan would win.

Five minutes…

Ten minutes…

Half an hour…

An hour passed.

“F**k!” Someone shouted from the slot machines zone.

Dong Xuebing woke up. He had fallen asleep while smoking. He moved his sore shoulders and threw the cigarette butt between his fingers away. He looked at the guest, who cursed loudly at the slot machines. He had lost a lot and was cursing at the machine. Two security guards in suits walked over and reminded him to keep it down.

Dong Xuebing looked at the time. It was 2 am.

The casino will open until morning, and it’s still early.

Dong Xuebing was worried for Sis Zhang and quickly returned to the VIP room. He took a deep breath before knocking on the door.

Inside the room.

It was the croupier who opened the door. He saw it was Dong Xuebing and allowed him to enter.

Dong Xuebing saw Shen Xiaomei’s face and was shocked. Shen Xiaoyan had returned and was sitting beside her sister. They were looking terrible.

Dong Xuebing went over and asked softly. “How is it?”

Shen Xiaomei shook the suitcase. It was empty.

Dong Xuebing was stunned. “Where are the chips?”

Shen Xiaomei pursed her lips. “On the table.” Thi/s chapter is updat𝓮d by nov(e)(l)biin.co/m

Dong Xuebing looked at the table where Zhang Longjuan placed her chips. She had lost a lot. “What happened? She had won a lot before I left.”

“There’s less than two million USD now.”

“Eh? When did they switch from mahjong to cards?”

The mahjong table was replaced with a poker table.

Song Yuhu was smiling brightly, and Mr. Zhang looked the worst. Ms. Leng was still the same, and Zhang Longjuan stopped smiling. She was touching her cards lightly.

Dong Xuebing asked. “How come she is left with less than two million USD?”

Shen Xiaomei sighed. “Ms. Zhang won a lot at mahjong and lost some to Song Yuhu later. But she was doing well overall. They switched to poker, and Ms. Zhang lost 1 million USD to Ms. Leng in the first round.”

“She lost so much in one round?”

“They could up the stakes, and Ms. Zhang had bet a lot.”

“Ms. Zhang is unlucky today.”

“Yes. She is unlucky at poker. I don’t know about poker. But Ms. Zhang had gotten good hands in a few rounds, but the others got better cards. Song Yuhu and Ms. Leng won a lot, and Ms. Zhang only won a few rounds.”

Luck is unpredictable, but Dong Xuebing did not expect Sis Zhang to lose so much within an hour. She had almost lost all her money.

On the table.

The dealer had dealt the third card.

Song Yuhu looked at his card and said. “Call two hundred thousand USD.”

Mr. Wei folded.

Ms. Leng folded too.

Zhang Longjuan thought for a while and folded.

Song Yuhu took all the chips on the table and laughed. “Let’s continue.”

The next round started. Song Yuhu folded. Mr. Wei had gotten good cards. Zhang Longjuan’s cards were not bad too.

Mr. Wei said. “Thirty hundred thousand.”

Zhang Longjuan frowned and hesitated. But she folded in the end.

Although Zhang Longjuan folded, she lost a lot on the antes. She will lose all her money. Song Yuhu, Mr. Wei, and Ms. Leng seemed to know she got less than two million USD worth of chips left. They purposely raised the bets by a few hundred thousand USD to force her to fold. The stakes were raised to over five hundred thousand USD before the fifth card.

Mahjong was only the appetizer.

Mahjong’s winnings were nothing compared to poker.

Zhang Longjuan yawned after a few rounds. “I am taking a smoke break.”

Song Yuhu laughed. “Your luck is not so good today, Ms. Zhang. Take a break, and your luck might return.” He sounded sarcastic.

Mr. Wei sighed. “I lost a lot too.”

He lost a lot, but he brought more chips with him. He dares to call and follow higher bets.

Zhang Longjuan could not do that. She only has around 1 million USD left.

Zhang Longjuan saw Dong Xuebing and sat beside him with a smile. “I am tired. Light a cigarette for me.”

Dong Xuebing lit a cigarette and passed it to her. “Your bets are too high.”

“How am I going to win big if the bets are small? Of course, I will lose fast too. Haha…” Zhang Longjuan was composed. She took a puff. “I got bad hands.”

Shen Xiaoyan looked at her. “How about you stop playing?”

Zhang Longjuan shook her head and did not say anything.

Dong Xuebing knew Sis Zhang would not stop playing. Her company needs money urgently, and she cannot back out.

Dong Xuebing thought for a while and said. “Let me play, Sis Zhang.”
