Now, Tevez was trying to show his superiority to Xu Cheng everywhere. Whether it was playing cards, running a casino, or driving a luxury car, he was trying to tell Xu Cheng that they weren't from the same world, and he wanted the people around him to feel this.
From Xu Cheng's behavior, Tevez felt like he had already succeeded. He wanted Xu Cheng to not be able to say a word in any aspect, making Xu Cheng feel awkward or inferior, letting him know that he and Lin Chuxue weren't from the same world and backing off.
Lin Chuxue knew Tevez's goal, so she also wanted Xu Cheng to blend in so that he wouldn't be embarrassed.
If it was before, Xu Cheng might have, but he was no longer the Xu Cheng of the past. His time in the military had taught him how to be neither servile nor overbearing. Although he failed to get into the Dragon Division, it was a blessing in disguise, and his body underwent a transformation, filling him with even more confidence. So, no matter how Tevez mocked him, Xu Cheng's heart was as calm as still water.
Xu Cheng smiled. "You can play."
Tevez still wanted to drag him down. He knew that Xu Cheng didn't have much money, and if he won all of it, he would just let Xu Cheng eat steamed buns. It would be best if he could win until Xu Cheng mortgaged his so-called property. Of course, it would be best if he could win that much.
"It's just a little bit of gambling. It's fine, I'm just playing." Tevez smiled.
"Little Cheng, it's fine, let's sit down and play together," Lin Guiren said.
"It's fine to play a bit." Lin Chuxue also didn't want other men to have the same hobbies as her father, so she had to at least play along.
Xu Cheng nodded. Since Tevez was so enthusiastic, then don't blame him.
"Do you know how to play?" Tevez asked Xu Cheng.
Xu Cheng nodded. "No, how about Fried Golden Flower? Oh, sorry, you guys don't play that in Europe, right? Then sorry, you know Fried Golden Flower has only become popular in recent years, but I really don't know how to play it yet. "
Xu Cheng's meaning was clear: You're playing Fried Golden Flower on Huaxia's territory? No way, since you came to Huaxia, do as the Romans do.
Tevez interrupted him. "Since I'm in charge of the casino, I've definitely researched what people in Huaxia like. I know how to play Fried Golden Flower and Landlord."
"That's great. My dad is Asian, and he also knows how to play Golden Flower. How about we play a few rounds?" Xu Cheng smiled.
"I haven't played in a long time. Come on," said Lin Guiren with a smile.
Tevez signaled the dealer to deal the cards. The latter first took out a brand new deck of poker cards and showed it to the customer out of habit. "Please check the poker cards. Although we don't mix any fake cards here, out of respect for the customer, please have a look."
Nowadays, technology was so advanced, and it was possible to tamper with the cards. Therefore, under normal circumstances, large casinos or tournaments would use designated cards to play. However, large casinos didn't dare to use electronic cards to trick people, because if they were found out, they would face the risk of being suspended. They didn't want to lose their long-term reputation for a small profit. Casinos were most afraid of having a bad reputation. After all, Shangcheng wasn't the only proper casino. Normally, they could tamper with the dice, but not with the poker cards because it was too easy to be detected by electronic scanning.
In fact, there was no need to check, so Xu Cheng just let the dealer deal the cards.
However, Tevez saw that Xu Cheng had fallen into a trap, so he called a veteran of the casino over. On the surface, this person was just a regular gambler, but behind the scenes, he was a master gambler.
Tevez invited him over just to make it easier for him. This person had his own expertise in reading cards and reading people's emotions. With him on the side, it would be easy for Xu Cheng to win.
"Sorry, I think it's a bit boring to play with the three of us. How about I ask my friend to join us?" Tevez smiled and asked Xu Cheng.
Lin Guiren didn't mind. He didn't have the time to argue with the younger generation, and Xu Cheng didn't refuse either.
Soon, Tevez's friend, Tim, who was a foreigner in a jacket, sat down to play with them.
A deck of cards wouldn't be shuffled repeatedly, and the cards that ended the game would be put to the side. Then, the players would have to memorize their own cards and guess each other's cards to continue playing.
The base price for the pot was 50,000 per person, and each increment must be no less than 50,000.
After dealing three cards to each person, Xu Cheng looked at his own card, and then at Tevez's card. Tevez smiled and said, "You don't have to look at my face. There won't be any answer written on my face."
Xu Cheng didn't smile on his face, but he thought to himself, Idiot, I'm looking at your cards, not your face.
Then, he looked at his friend Tim's card. There was no need to look at Lin Guiren's card.
Xu Cheng's cards were 8, 9, and 10 straight. It wasn't small, but it wasn't big either. However, it was worth a shot, especially when he saw that Tevez's 5, 6, and 7 were all straight, and he felt like he could get off to a good start. Tim's card was basically a pair of Ks.
"Mr. Lin, place your bet first." The dealer signaled for Lin Guiren to place his bet and reminded him.
Lin Guiren bitterly smiled and directly threw in his cards.
When it was Xu Cheng's turn, he threw in 50,000 yuan worth of chips.
Tim also threw in 50,000, and Tevez directly bet 200,000.
"Open?" Xu Cheng asked.
Normally, opening would depend on the number of people who were following. If there were three or more people, then opening wouldn't be allowed. Only when there were two people left, then opening could be doubled.
Tevez shook his head. "Nope."
Xu Cheng thought about it and directly folded, revealing his own hand. When Tevez and his friend Tim saw the straight cards, they both chuckled.
"Do you really know how to play? You just folded when it was a straight? "Tevez looked a bit contemptuous.
Tim also folded, but he also said to Xu Cheng, "I didn't even fold a straight, and you just folded when it was a straight."
Tevez collected all the money on the table and then said to Xu Cheng, "If you persist, you might be able to beat me."
Even Lin Guiren looked at Xu Cheng in surprise and asked, "This hand of yours is worth a shot."
Xu Cheng awkwardly smiled. "I thought the other side was full of masters, so maybe they had good cards."
"That's why I said gambling also requires intelligence and courage." Tevez couldn't help but teach Xu Cheng a lesson.
Xu Cheng didn't refute and nodded. "Let's deal."
The dealer dealt the second round.
Xu Cheng got a crappy hand, an ace. He looked at Lin Guiren's hand, a pair of 5s, Tim's a pair of 9s, and Tevez's a pair of 7s! Everyone's hand wasn't that big, especially Xu Cheng's. He could basically fold now, but he smiled.
"50,000."
This time, Lin Guiren also wanted to bluff and followed with 50,000.
Tim also followed with 50,000.
Tevez definitely wouldn't back down, so he followed with 50,000.
Xu Cheng directly threw in 200,000.
Lin Guiren hesitated, because a pair of 5s really didn't give him any advantage. After thinking for a bit, he directly folded.
It wasn't just him, Tim and Tevez also hesitated, but Tim still followed with 200,000. Tevez thought about it and also followed with 200,000. When it was Xu Cheng's turn, he immediately took out a million and threw it over, directly shocking Tim and Tevez.
Judging from Xu Cheng's performance just now, this guy must have gotten a big card! Otherwise, he wouldn't be so fearless.
Thinking about that, Tim folded.
Tevez also had a pair of 7s, so he could only fold.
Xu Cheng grinned, stood up, and collected his chips. Lin Chuxue, who was sitting beside him, couldn't help but flip through his hand, and when she saw that the ace was the biggest, Tevez almost coughed up blood!
Lin Guiren directly smiled. Not bad, he just said he didn't know how to play cards, and now he actually cheated three people, and he even won more than he lost. This was like a slap to the face.
