Gu Yusheng was at the Majestic Clubhouse that afternoon, but he didn't play cards.
He sat on the sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, crossed his legs, and stared at the gloomy sky outside the window. Amidst the noise and the sound of playing cards, he didn't look at anyone and ignored everyone. He just minded his own business and smoked.
While shuffling the cards, someone at the table noticed Gu Yusheng sitting on the balcony without saying anything. He couldn't help but ask, "Master Gu, don't you want to play?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Bancheng kicked him under the table and made a shushing gesture. He then lowered his voice and said, "Didn't you see that he hasn't stopped smoking the entire afternoon? It's obvious that he's in a terrible mood."
The person who had been taking care of Gu Yusheng couldn't help but be curious when he heard that. He couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with Master Gu? Didn't you just sign a big contract this morning? Why is he still in such a bad mood? "
"I don't know." After Lu Bancheng threw the sieve, he moved closer to the man's ear and whispered, "You've been so gloomy since this morning. You weren't there when we signed the bill this morning. You didn't look like you were discussing business. You looked like you were there to cause trouble. You threw the contract on the table and only said eleven words throughout the whole process."
"What eleven words?"
Lu Bancheng touched the cards, slightly tilted his head, and said, "Forty to sixty. I'll take sixty, and you take forty. Sign it or not."
"F * ck, it's even possible …" Before the man could finish his sentence, a loud clap of thunder suddenly rang out, startling everyone in the room and causing them to turn their heads to look outside the window. A heavy downpour poured down from the sky, and the sound of water splashing could be heard.
Gu Yusheng was the only one who didn't seem to hear anything. He was still sitting on the sofa in the same position as before, smoking and puffing.
At six o 'clock, the rain didn't show any signs of stopping. Instead, it became heavier. The water on the window was like a small waterfall, constantly flowing down.
At ten past six, someone left early because he had something else to do.
There were three people at the table, so they couldn't continue playing. Encouraged by the other two, Lu Bancheng tried to ask Gu Yusheng, "Bro Sheng, do you want to play?"
After about half a minute, Gu Yusheng slowly turned his eyes from the heavy rain outside the window to Lu Bancheng's face. He took a drag of his cigarette and continued to sit on the sofa for a while before he stood up and walked to the card table.
There was a dinner party at 7: 30 pm. At 6: 30 pm, people arrived one after another in the wind and rain.
Mr. Zhang of the Beiting Group had come with his wife. Gu Yusheng had met him a few times and vaguely remembered that her surname was Lu. However, when he greeted them, Gu Yusheng only nodded slightly without saying anything.
Master Zhang's wife was slightly surprised when she saw Gu Yusheng. She looked around as if she was looking for someone, but she didn't find him. She asked in confusion, "Didn't Mrs. Gu come?"
For a moment, Gu Yusheng didn't realize who Ms. Lu was referring to. With a cigarette in his mouth, he played cards with an indifferent look on his face.
