But watching this old man lose to me in stud, but laughing happily like a child... Such a scene is indeed very pleasant.
One night, I won first, then lost, and ended up throwing away two thousand dollars. But the happiness I get is something I have never experienced in the gambling I have participated in in my life!
After playing for a while, Yang Wen led me to the bar next to the casino and sat down. I drank a glass of tequila, then looked around this place, and suddenly my heart moved: "This place is really wonderful... Is there a venue like this in Las Vegas?"
"...no more." A look of surprise flashed in Yang Wen's eyes: "It's not profitable, it's purely a place to make guests happy, it's the only place in the casino."
I sighed, then gestured to the bartender to fill up the wine glass in front of me, and then smiled: "Well, it was the former leader of the Yang family who came up with this idea, right? The person who came up with this idea , really smart!"
Yang Wen raised his eyebrows and smiled calmly.
I glanced at him, and said casually: "Isn't it... Well, even though such a place has such a casino, it doesn't make money... In a casino where every inch of land is expensive, it is really a waste. But here In my opinion, it is worth much more than any big casino that is making money every day."
Afterwards, I picked up the glass and drank it down again, letting the hot and spicy tequila flow down the esophagus into the stomach, and then squinting my eyes to enjoy the fiery stimulation that spread from my throat. With a long sigh, he pointed at the casino in front of him, and said with a soft smile, "Look... so many masters of gambling! There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers inside. I don't know how many of them are former gambling gods or gambling kings? How many are famous gambling masters? Professional gamblers? These people have become regular customers here, although they won't make any money here, but the casino has won the most important thing... favor!!"
I turned my head, looked at Yang Wen with a surprised expression on his face, and said with a smile: "Isn't it? Even an outsider like me can't help but think this place is really great! It's really great. And those who gamble all day to lose People who enjoy gambling must also like this place very much. As long as they come here once, they can't help but often enjoy the real fun after boring work... And if they come more, it is inevitable that they will feel sorry for Yang. As a family that relied on gambling syndicates to make their fortune, they used this method to win the favor of many master gamblers and top professional gamblers... Is there a better deal than this? Genius... Genius Idea!" I sighed.
And in my heart, I couldn't help but sigh.
What kind of family is the Yang family
The person who thought of such a genius idea and created such a place was definitely not Mr. Yang Er, because from the history of this place, it should have been established earlier than when Mr. Yang Er was in charge of the Yang family.
Just imagine, after the Yang family has such a talented leader, the next Mr. Yang Er is also a smart and capable person. And Yang Wei of the younger generation is also a very intelligent person.
Is such a family rich in geniuses
"You are really amazing." Yang Wen sighed, and then smiled: "I have brought many guests here to visit, but the value of this place is revealed in one go. You are one of the few two people I have ever seen. one of the individuals."
"Oh... who's the other one?"
Yang Wen thought for a while, then laughed softly, "It's also a young and extraordinary guest like you...Mr. Li Wenjing."
"..."
Hearing this familiar name, I instinctively froze for a moment, then fell silent for a while.
After a long time, I finally smiled: "Haha! It's him... so it was him."
I shook my head, then pointed to the glass in front of me, motioning for the bartender to fill it up for me.
"Actually, there is another open secret that everyone knows." Yang Wen seems to be really suitable for a career as a commentator. He is obviously trained by the Yang family to be good at public relations or reception work. This is also an open secret. Every head of the Yang family, before taking over the family, when they are still heirs, will first was sent to serve as the director of this casino. In other words, if a young man from the Yang family is appointed as the director of this special casino, even if he has not been established as the heir, then in fact it is equivalent to making public The hint that the parent is going to pass the position to him. But... over the years, only one person has broken the convention..."
"Oh?" My heart skipped a beat.
I am not surprised that the heirs of the Yang family will be appointed as the supervisors of this place first. Since the meaning of this place is to win the favor and favor of many gambling masters. Then, as the heir cultivated by the Yang family, it is a very good way to practice in this place, and at the same time try to make as many gambling masters as possible, and establish contacts in this circle.
But one "exception"... Could it be...
"It's Miss Yang Wei." When Yang Wei's name was mentioned, Yang Wen's eyes showed a trace of sincere respect and even admiration: "At that time, everyone thought that Young Master Yang Yi was publicly established as the heir , then he will definitely be appointed as the supervisor here... But in the end, Mr. Yang Er made an exception and chose Miss Yang Wei as the supervisor here. This is the only exception in the history of the Yang family. But Miss Yang Wei's Smart and intelligent, he has lived up to Mr. Yang Er's expectations!"
"..." Hearing the name Yang Wei again, I really couldn't tell whether it was bitterness or something else in my heart.
Hmph... It's for sure that I didn't let my idiot son be the supervisor here. With Mr. Yang Er's intelligence, he naturally knows that his son is an idiot. If such a person is allowed to manage such a person who is responsible for recruiting talents and making friends The most important place, if that idiot messes around, I am afraid that the hearts and favors that the Yang family has accumulated for many years and finally bought will be defeated by him!
But seeing Yang Wen's expression when he mentioned Yang Wei's name, I couldn't help asking: "Do you... know Yang Wei?"
"... not really acquaintances." Yang Wen, this clean young man actually showed a trace of shyness and regret in his eyes, he couldn't help but smiled softly: "In terms of blood, I'm Miss Yang Wei. Miss Yang Wei is recognized as the most outstanding strong woman of this generation in the Yang family. She is extremely intelligent...and...and so beautiful. Who doesn't know her among the young people in the family? What? Hmm..."
I laughed, I can see that Yang Wei is probably the idol of many young teenagers like Yang Wen in the family.
"Speaking of it...Mr. Yang Er finally established Ms. Yang Wei as the heir of the next parent. This decision is really wise..." Yang Wen seemed a little forgetful as he spoke, but he quickly realized, " "Ah," he murmured, and then changed his color and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry... I'm afraid I lost my composure. Mr. Chen, it seems impolite to discuss family affairs in front of guests like you."
"It's okay." I smiled, but there was some bitterness in the smile: "I like to hear what you said very much. I am also very interested."
Next, I asked Yang Wen to accompany me to drink a few glasses of wine. Under the influence of alcohol, this restrained and polite young man couldn't help but feel a little hot, and with my deliberate clichés, our topic seemed to be unconscious It turned into a discussion about Yang Wei.
Fortunately, Yang Wen is not a confidant of Mr. Yang Er, and what he said is not confidential. And it seems that he doesn't know about my relationship with Yang Wei... It must be that Mr. Yang Er deliberately blocked my relationship with Yang Wei in the family.
After all, the most outstanding young girl of the Yang family had an affair with a married man, and it was really not nice to say it.
For this reason, Yang Wen and I didn't have any qualms when talking about Yang Wei—of course, we were only talking about small things that were not confidential. It's like the tone of two men discussing a popular female star normally.
"Miss Yang Wei is no longer the supervisor here. After she takes over as the heir, she will have more important things to do... But I was lucky enough to work here for a while, and it is a blessing to be able to work under Miss Yang Wei. A very pleasant thing. Although she is very strict with people, she is very kind to people." Yang Wen smiled and said: "Miss Yang Wei used to have an office upstairs. When she was the supervisor here, she lived in Here. Her bedroom, studio, and music room are all upstairs. Ms. Yang seems to like painting and playing the piano. Her studio has a collection of works with unique scenery. Many of the works are some strange Although others think that those things are worthless, Ms. Yang Wei once said that great works of art often only really increase in value after the author's death, so she feels that her collections may not be worth much. In a few decades it will be as expensive as a Van Gogh or a Monet."
I heard my heart move...
Unexpectedly, Yang Wei, who is calm and rational, would have such childish moments
I couldn't help being interested: "Can I go and see those works?"
Yang Wen seemed a little strange about my request, but he did not refuse: "Oh, those works are all in a studio upstairs... that place is not a secret place. And Miss Yang Wei never refuses others. I went to visit her collection. Moreover, you are a distinguished guest ordered by Mr. Yang Er to treat you well, and we will do our best to meet your requirements."
He immediately stood up and said with a smile: "The studio is upstairs, I'll take you there right away."
Yang Wen first left for a short while, and soon he fetched a bunch of keys, then pushed me out of the casino, and took the elevator to the fifth floor of the building.
Stepping out of the elevator, Yang Wen said with a smile: "Miss Yang used to like staying here very much. Her former bedroom and office are up there... But those places, I'm sorry I can't show you around, haha..."
With that said, he pushed me to the door of a room, opened the door with a key, and then turned on the lights...
This is indeed a studio. I slowly entered the room with a wheelchair, and immediately smelled a strong smell of oil paint. There are many picture frames and drawing boards on the floor beside the walls of the room, and there are many in the corner. Cans and bottles of oil paint.
I have seen these things in the house of my best friend Aze, so it is not surprising.
It's just that I never thought that Yang Wei would have such a hobby.
There are many oil paintings hanging on the wall, but in order to prevent dust, a layer of protective paper was laid on it. After Yang Wen helped me lift it, I took a closer look at these things.
Many of the works are very abstract or impressionistic. Those strange colors and lines are completely incomprehensible to me.
There are some strange authors' signatures in the corners of many works, and I don't know where Yang Wei got these things.
Yang Wen pushed me and walked slowly, looking at these works, I couldn't help but feel a little silly... These things, although I don't know how to appraise paintings, but if you want me to say that things like ghost symbols can be valuable, it's a big deal. I don't even believe in death. On the other hand, Yang Wei collects these things like a child, and firmly believes that these things will become expensive works of art in the future. It really surprises me that this is the rational and calm Yang Wei I know!
Obviously, Yang Wei really knows how to draw, because there are quite a few graffiti works on some drawing boards nearby, obviously left by the owner of this studio. Although I don't know how to draw, I have a good friend who claims to be a painter, A Ze. So after watching a lot, at least I can see a little bit of the way, at least I can see that Yang Wei is not a doodle, but has some skills and basic skills.
However, as Yang Wen pushed me in step by step, he lifted the innermost curtain, revealing the last drawing board in the room. Looking at the picture on it, I was suddenly stunned!
In shock, my face became stiff, and unconsciously, my fingers seemed to be trembling slightly!
As soon as my gaze came into contact with this painting, I couldn't take it away!
This painting is not complicated in terms of technique, and the use of color is not very clever, but the content on the picture suddenly made me feel really sad: on the drawing board, there is a valley in a valley. In the woods, beside the valley, the night is as dark as ink and the sky is full of stars, but there are two young men and women sitting there, leaning on each other. The man seemed to have some blood on his body, but he gently hugged the woman to keep warm. In terms of clothing, the man in the painting is wearing a torn suit, while the woman is wearing a leather jacket...
In front of this, it immediately tore apart the prison in my mind!
I stared at the drawing board in front of me, my eyes glazed over...
Um, yes, yes... Isn't the content in this picture exactly the night when Yang Wei and I first met, when we fell down the valley together and hugged each other to keep warm
Look at a scrawled signature in the lower right corner of the drawing board: Z·W.
Yang Wei... Yang Wei... Did you draw this
