He won 900 million in the lottery.

Chapter 203 Trip to Macau 2

I still shook my head and refused.

Yuan Beichen scratched his head: "How about this, if you're short of money, you can use mine. If you lose, it's on me; if you win, we'll split it, how about that?"

Just then, Zhao Xing walked over with Wen Yining.

"Oh, Young Master Yuan, what a coincidence! You know Brother Shen too?"

"Stars, it's been a long time."

Lingling and I both shook our heads to indicate that we didn't recognize them.

Zhao Xing introduced with a smile: "The young master of Global YL. His family owns 400 hospitals, 813 clinics, and 5.2 open beds, making it the largest medical group in Asia."

Upon hearing this, I was struck by a sudden inspiration. It seemed that Zhao Xing and Yuan Beichen had a good relationship. I never expected to have such an unexpected gain from this trip to Macau.

Yuan Beichen: "You two are acquaintances, that's even better. Please put in a good word for me."

Zhao Xing asked in confusion, "Brother Shen, what's going on?"

"It's alright. Since we're all acquaintances, I won't stand on ceremony. I'll go with you to the VIP room for a couple of games."

I turned to Zhao Xing and said, "Help me exchange 50 chips."

Then he turned to Yuan Beichen and said, "Following your usual practice, the winnings and losses are 50. Actually, I also really want to experience what it feels like to win."

Zhao Xing: "Are you going to a private room?"

We all nodded.

"Okay, I'll call Zhong Qing, we'll go together, and then we'll watch you guys have fun."

VIP lounge.

The account manager asked, "What games are you all playing? Let me see if there are any available private rooms."

Yuan Beichen looked at me: "Brother Shen, do you have any special skills?"

"Back in my hometown, I often played Texas Hold'em."

The account manager took out his phone and scrolled through it: "What a coincidence, a client has booked a VIP room to play Texas Hold'em. There are only 3 people there now, and with the two of you, we're still one person short."

"No rush, let's go and wait there first."

"Okay, everyone, this way please."

A quick glance inside reveals it's pretty much like what you see on TV: massage chairs, a bar, a wine cabinet, and a separate viewing area.

There were indeed people in the lounge, two women and one man. The two women seemed to know each other and were chatting and laughing.

The girl who spoke had light brown hair that fell over her shoulders with a slight curve at the ends. She had an oval face that was small and delicate. She wore a beige linen shirt with the top two buttons undone at the collar and the sleeves casually rolled up to her forearms. She wore high-waisted wide-leg pants with a brass belt buckle on the waistband.

The girl, who was covering her mouth and laughing, had jet-black hair tied up with a jade hairpin. Her eyebrows and eyes were delicate and refined, her almond-shaped eyes like pools of spring water, with downturned corners, giving her a scholarly air. She wore a modified cheongsam with a dark green background and subtle patterns, the skirt slit up to her calves, revealing her slender ankles, where a thorny rose was tattooed.

These two have completely different tastes in dressing.

The man was rather silent, dressed in a suit, and didn't look up from the moment we entered the room. He was constantly fiddling with his phone.

"Mr. Zhang, both of you bosses also play Texas Hold'em."

"Um."

The two women nodded to us, and suddenly one of them stared at the woman in sunglasses next to Yuan Beichen.

"Jiang Xinyue?"

The woman in sunglasses paused for a moment upon hearing the name.

"It really is you."

Another woman laughed and said, "What a coincidence, big star! We're both your fans; we've been to your concerts many times."

"Thanks."

No wonder she looked familiar; it's her! She's a singer who's recently become quite popular on Douyin (TikTok), a prime example of a successful internet celebrity turned singer.

Removing her large sunglasses, Jiang Xinyue didn't bother to hide herself since she had been recognized. After all, she was an internet celebrity before becoming a singer, doing live streams every day. This was a private room, so showing her face wasn't a big deal.

The two women stood up: "Let's take a picture together."

"Can."

We will not sit down at the table until everyone has arrived.

I sent a message in a WeChat group: "Hey, it's a celebrity! Why aren't you guys excited? I said he looks familiar."

Zhong Qing: "Tch, an actor."

Wen Yining: "Want to play? I'll introduce you to two top-tier players later."

Zhao Xing: "Let Lingling come to my room tonight, and I'll have ZLS go to your room instead, okay? Wouldn't that be more interesting than her?"

sweat...

Lingling: "Okay, I'll sleep at Xingxing's place tonight, that'll give you some private space, okay?"

Me: "Help...I was wrong."

Before long, the sixth person appeared. She was also a woman, wearing a high-brimmed hat, large sunglasses, and a mask, even more covered up than Jiang Xinyue.

She wore a silk slip dress with a delicate collarbone. She wore a cardigan over it, revealing a pair of bracelets on her wrists. I don't know much about jade, but I could tell at a glance that those jade bracelets were very expensive.

Six people, we can begin.

At first, Yuan Beichen and I went up to play.

That is, 3 men and 3 women.

Sure enough, my luck was still bad.

Both pairs lost...

Three losses...

Even a straight flush can result in a loss...

"Holy crap, I've seen a hundred ways to die with an A-rank character today..."

Yuan Beichen and I exchanged a glance. In half an hour, we had each lost more than 100,000 yuan.

That other guy was really fierce; he single-handedly defeated all five of us.

"What bad luck! I'm having such a terrible day."

The brown-haired girl angrily took out a pack of women's cigarettes from her bag and lit it for herself.

Yuan Beichen and I exchanged a glance: "We're done playing, it's your turn."

Lingling and Jiang Xinyue sat on the stage.

Without our guidance, just by looking at their luck, you can tell that it's completely different from when the two of us were sitting there!

You'll have everything you desire, from flowers to smooth sailing!

Fortune changes, and emperors come and go!

Soon, the man opposite not only lost all the money he had won, but also his entire initial stake.

Then, another woman walked into the room...

Around 40 years old, she exuded the dignified and noble air of an old-fashioned socialite. She had a square face with slightly angular features, a strong presence, and smile lines at the corners of her eyes. When she entered the room, her gaze swept over everyone with a hint of scrutiny. She wore a lace shawl over a lush green dress that reached mid-calf, and black satin strappy sandals with the straps wrapped around her ankles twice and tied into a small bow.

to be frank,

I feel that this VIP room is currently dominated by women.

"What? You lost it all?"

The lady spoke with a gentle, refreshing voice, yet with an air of superiority.

The man nodded: "It's normal to lose when there are so many women at the table."

"I'll play for a while. Then I'll take another 50 chips."

Now look what's happened, there are six women at the table.

Know how to play

Those who don't know how to play

They've all come up with amazing ways to play Texas Hold'em.

I used to think that luck was a form of ability.

Now I believe that in Texas Hold'em, courage is also a form of skill...

"Can you even accept a small group of three?"

The woman in the silk slip dress stared at the revealed cards, on the verge of collapse. She'd won her three-of-a-kind against the wealthy woman's Ace, and her three-of-a-kind had been wiped out...

I admire Lingling immensely.

I asked her on WeChat, "You'd go all in on three?"

"I'm sleepy, I don't want to play anymore... so I'm thinking of going all in..."

What's the highest level of martial arts called again?

The best strategy is to have no strategy at all...

How lonely it is to be invincible...
