Tan Xiu, who was standing next to Gong Dalong, could see that Jia Yelei's eyes only glanced at him and then looked around to find the "Gambling Grandmaster". A bit of coldness arose in his heart. In particular, his words made Tan Xiu a bit dissatisfied. This Jia Yelei in front of him actually judged people by their appearance. Tan Xiu finally understood why he was tricked by others. He had countless ways to trick such a person.
"Pa …"
Gong Dalong also saw through Jia Yelei's thoughts. He slapped his head and snappily said, "He's Grandmaster Tang, the Gambling Grandmaster I specially invited."
Jia Yelei rubbed his head as his vision fell on Tan Xiu. With just a glance, he called out in disbelief, "Eldest Senior Brother, are you kidding me? Him? He's so young and he doesn't even look older than me, no? How can he be more powerful than my Dad? How could he be a Gambling Grandmaster? "
"Idiot!"
Tan Xiu secretly cursed inside. He was completely speechless toward Jia Yelei.
Gong Dalong was infuriated by Jia Yelei. If it wasn't because he was in front of Tang Xiu, he really wanted to slap this idiot Junior Brother to death. The first time he saw Tan Xiu, he indeed had contempt in his heart. After all, the impression Tan Xiu gave him was … too young.
However …
In the contest between Tan Xiu and Su Shangwen, although he had helped Tan Xiu, he didn't play much of a role. But Long Hanwen and Chen Zhizhong, the two rich and powerful people of Star City, had stood up to help Tan Xiu. It seemed that they intended to express their goodwill to Tan Xiu. This made him suddenly wake up and understand the truth that one couldn't judge a book by its cover.
Gong Dalong glanced at the indifferent expression on Tan Xiu's face. He then pulled Jia Yelei out of the crowd and came to a remote place tens of meters away. Without hesitation, he fiercely slapped Jia Yelei's face and angrily glared at him and said, "Remember me! Judging a book by its cover is a taboo for professional gamblers like us. Master Tang won Master at the gambling table. Do you think Master would lie to you? If Master Tang didn't have the ability, do you think Master would treat him as a life-saving straw? You're not doubting Master Tang, you're doubting your father. "
"I …"
Jia Yelei covered his burning cheeks and looked at Tan Xiu, who had followed him here. He immediately broke out in a cold sweat. How could he not know that he had committed the biggest taboo of professional gamblers? How could he not know that he had judged people by their appearance? With a bit of regret, he looked at Tan Xiu and bowed deeply, saying, "Grandmaster Tang, I was rude just now. Please be magnanimous and don't let me lower myself to the same level as this person who has no foresight. I'm sorry, I hope you can forgive me. "
"Hmm?"
Tan Xiu was originally very unhappy with Jia Yelei, but seeing him admit his mistake so easily and even apologize straightforwardly with a tone and expression full of sincerity, Tan Xiu had a whole new level of respect for him. As the saying goes, there is nothing more virtuous than being able to correct one's mistakes. Although Jia Yelei had some flaws in his character, he could be regarded as someone who could be taught.
"What about your father?"
Tan Xiu nodded slightly and calmly asked.
Jia Yelei carefully took the suitcase from Tan Xiu's hand and hurriedly said, "My father is at the gambling table. Since today is the deadline set by the other party, he must continue to gamble with them. Otherwise, my mother's relic will be sold off by them! "
Tan Xiu secretly shook his head. It seemed that this Jia Ruidao had sunk deep into the pit! It was said that when beating a snake, one should hit the weak spot. Others had seized Jia Ruidao's weak spot, so he had no choice but to succumb.
Rhythm!
Tan Xiu was very clear about the meaning of this word, especially the word 'rhythm'. He knew what it meant to gamblers. If a professional gambler could control the rhythm of the entire game, he would undoubtedly win big. On the contrary, once he lost the control of this' rhythm ', it would be extremely difficult for him to win.
Jingmen Island, Paradise Club.
All the regulars in Jingmen Island, as long as they were keen gamblers, there was no one who didn't know them. It was not in a building, but inside a luxury cruise ship at Jingmen Island's port. Rumor had it that the Big Boss behind the scenes of the Paradise Club was Ouyang Lulu, the eldest daughter of Jingmen Island's first family, the Ouyang Family. Of course, this was an illegal business, so she had distributed a lot of shares. Otherwise, without a safe haven, it would be difficult for those jealous people to get rid of it.
At this moment …
In a spacious and bright office inside the Paradise Club's luxury cruise ship, Ouyang Lulu warmly entertained her two classmates from the capital.
"Da Hong Pao, produced in Wuyi Mountain, is a type of oolong tea with excellent quality. It's a special famous tea in the country. Its shape is tight, and it has a greenish-brown color. After brewing, it will have a bright orange color with red and green leaves. The most outstanding quality of this tea is its fragrant orchid fragrance. The fragrance lasts for a long time, and the 'Rock Charm' is obvious. Its efficacy is innumerable. "
A smile hung on the corner of Bai Tao's mouth as he watched Ouyang Lulu elegantly carrying out the tea-making process. Then, he continued, "This top-grade Da Hong Pao is something that's hard to find even with a thousand gold coins. My uncle once spent a lot of effort to buy a few batches from some big tea merchants in the Southern Province. It seems that classmate Ouyang is very capable! You can even get your hands on this top-grade tea. "
Ouyang Lulu said with a smile, "I say, old classmate, is it interesting to tease me? But, I didn't expect you to be so proficient in the tea ceremony! I'd like to consult you when I have time later. "
Bai Tao was startled. He quickly waved his hand and forced a smile, "I was just showing off my slight skill in front of Lu Ban. Please don't consult me. If you really want to consult, you can consult others. I know someone's tea ceremony skill is very powerful. Even what I know is imperceptibly influenced by what I've seen and heard. "
"Who is it?" Asked Ouyang Lulu with a puzzled expression.
Bai Tao glanced at Chu Yi and chuckled, "Far away on the horizon, but close at hand."
Ouyang Lulu was exceptionally smart. She immediately turned to look at Chu Yi and said with an astonished expression, "Chu Yi, it turns out that the tea ceremony expert is you! What's wrong? You're still playing low-key in front of your old classmate? "
Chu Yi couldn't help laughing, "I used to think that my tea ceremony skill was an expert among my peers. But after seeing your tea making skills, I'm sincerely convinced. There's always someone better than you out there. Classmate Ouyang, you've given me a good lesson today! "
Ouyang Lulu said with a charming smile, "Modesty makes people fat. I reckon that you'll become a big fatty in a short time. Ah, that's right, are you two very free recently? How did you come to Jingmen Island? "
"Originally, we went to Star City to find that Long Zhengyu brat. We made an appointment to go to Thailand to play together. But I didn't expect that brat to change his mind at the last minute and give up the opportunity to go out for a big project. "
Ouyang Lulu said with a smile, "Although I've never seen Long Zhengyu, I've heard his name many times. Especially the two of you. Every time you meet, you always mention him in my ear. It seems that I must see this famous Young Master Long if I have the opportunity later. I want to see what kind of outstanding person he is, to be worthy of such a deep friendship between the two of you. "
Bai Tao said with a smile, "Of course he's amazing. He's not much worse than us."
Ouyang Lulu couldn't help laughing, "Are you praising him? Or are you praising the two of you? "
Chu Yi's expression suddenly moved as he said, "Lulu, Long Zhengyu is really outstanding. Among the younger generation, there are only a few talented youths who are more powerful than him. However, our trip to Star City this time turned out to be even more interesting. To be exact, it's a more interesting person. "
"Who is it?"
Ouyang Lulu asked in surprise.
Chu Yi said, "I don't know the specifics, but I know that he's a young man. The most inconceivable thing is that he's actually a high school student. You can't imagine that it's that high school student who helped Long Zhengyu win a big project. Even the incomparably arrogant Long Zhengyu actually worships that high school student. "
Ouyang Lulu said with surprise, "Long Zhengyu actually worships a high school student? Are you kidding me? "
Bai Tao said, "We're absolutely not kidding. I can really feel that Long Zhengyu really worships him. When we were chatting and drinking tea with Long Zhengyu, that young man called Tang Xiu called Long Zhengyu and asked him to help him find a professional manager. Long Zhengyu's attitude was simply … even more intimate than when he was treating his biological brother. "
Ouyang Lulu was confused, "Why would a high school student want to find a professional manager?"
Bai Tao said, "He said that he's preparing to set up a company, but he doesn't have the time to manage it, so he asked Long Zhengyu to help him find a professional manager. You don't know, but we happened to be there at that time, so Chu Yi gave him a rotten idea. He asked Tan Xiu to invite Kang Xia. Old classmate, have you heard of Kang Xia's name? Tsk, tsk … I really want to see if that kid can invite Kang Xia. "
Ouyang Lulu rolled her eyes and scolded with a smile, "You two are really not good things. Who is Kang Xia? She's a super elite from the world's financial center, Wall Street. Countless big shots in the business world want to take her as their subordinate. After countless efforts, all of them failed. And you want a high school student to invite her? Isn't this an international joke? "
Bai Tao chuckled and said, "Hehe, it's just for fun!"
Chu Yi's expression suddenly moved. He grabbed his mobile and dialed a number. After the other party picked up, he asked, "Is there any news about the information I asked you to investigate?"
"Yesterday, Kang Xia went to Star City alone. Her purpose is unknown."
"What?"
Chu Yi suddenly felt that there was something wrong with his ears.
Kang Xia went to Star City?
She …
What did she go to Star City for?
Suddenly, there was an indescribable complex emotion in Chu Yi's heart. It was like a surging wave, rolling endlessly inside his heart.
Ouyang Lulu looked at Chu Yi's strange expression and asked curiously, "What's going on?"
Chu Yi hung up the phone and looked at the four people's gazes, saying, "I was curious, so I sent someone to investigate Kang Xia's whereabouts. I just got the answer that Kang Xia went to Star City yesterday. Her purpose is unknown. "
"She went to Star City?"
Bai Tao directly jumped up from the sofa and exclaimed in disbelief, "Kang Xia went to Star City because of that Tan Xiu? This … how is this possible? "
