"I won again, sorry, gentlemen!" Walter smiled and held all the chips on the table in his arms. He had been winning all night. Although he didn't win much, winning money is better than losing money. . Even if he doesn't win much, it's enough to make him happy both physically and mentally.
The Oak Bay Villas is a magical place where the empire's well-known capitalists all live, and this is one of the biggest differences from the Federation. In the Empire, economic figures always pursue the political core, but in the Federation, the capitalists have their own pattern and have in turn forced politics.
The reason why Oak Bay is a very popular villa area in the Imperial City is that in addition to the perfect environment and various facilities, there is also a very important saying, that is, "living in Oak Bay is half the battle." People who can afford villas here are wealthy entrepreneurs. This is a perfect advantageous resource for many people. As long as you get to know everyone in the community, you will definitely find a way to make a fortune. Facts have proved this point more than once. A few lucky people have completed initial accumulation and achieved success through this method.
This makes more people rush to buy properties in Oak Bay and open the door to wealth. It's a pity that it's not enough. The villas in this villa area have been sold out many years ago. Occasionally, there are one or two that need to be transferred, but they are all digested internally.
People are very curious about the newly moved family. As a means of social interaction for men, playing cards may be the fastest way to build friendships, especially when someone can always win money.
On the fifth day after arriving here, someone came to visit Walter and invited Walter to sit and chat in his villa. In essence, Walt refused, but he couldn't bear the other party's warm invitation, so he went. In the gentleman's villa, he saw two tables of people playing cards. He wanted to leave, but the gentleman didn't let him sit down and play. He let him stay there for a while and got to know each other better.
It became much easier to get along with him after that. The other party invited him to chat, brag, watch TV, or play ball in the yard. He will also invite the other person to sit at his home, or hold a small barbecue party, inviting more people to have fun together. Over time, everyone became good friends.
Until one day, the gentleman's hand was burned while cooking food. It happened that a participant in the card game needed to go for a while and someone needed to complete the card game on his behalf. In the end, Walter reluctantly sat down at the card table and continued his card game for the gentleman who had left temporarily. In ten minutes, he discovered that these people were stupid and their skills were not very good. He easily won a lot of money. Of course, after the last lesson, he had promised Nadiya that he would never gamble again, and he also swore an oath that he would not break his oath.
After going back and forth for a long time, he was always unable to restrain the urge to win money crazily. He did not participate in the gambling personally, but stood behind a friend he knew and taught him how to play cards, which made him a very popular person in this small circle. Welcome guys. Many people asked him to teach them how to play cards, which gave him a sense of accomplishment. Even if he couldn't touch the cards himself and could only watch others win money, he would still have a certain sense of satisfaction and achievement. feel.
Until one day, one person suddenly needed to leave for a while because of important matters in the company. In order to prevent the game from ending, under everyone's persuasion and invitation, Walter sat at the table again and participated in the game.
He kept winning, although he could only win a few dozen dollars each time, but he kept winning and was able to keep his money even when the situation was worst, which gave him an indescribable confidence. Everyone praised him and said that he played cards very well. The feeling of being recognized always inspired him to look forward to the next card game.
Until the last time, he won more than sixty yuan, and then everyone clamored for a treat from him. Since Nadiya went on a business trip, he has won almost two thousand yuan, and he happily agreed to everyone's requests. Anyway, all the money came from the sheep, so he didn't think it was a problem to be generous to others.
The group of people went to the most famous red light street in the imperial capital and found a good bar. They were so drunk that Walter passed out. When he got up the next day, he found himself lying on the bed in the hotel room, with a girl who looked about twenty years old lying beside him, sleeping soundly. Their clothes were scattered everywhere, and Walt even found a pair of women's underwear next to his pillow. He suddenly woke up at this time and was a little at a loss.
I have to say that Walt is not actually a pure bad guy, he is just a little stupid and can't control himself well. At this time, his head was confused and he had no idea what was happening. He sat on the bed and covered his face, feeling sorry for his wife, his daughter, and his family. Soon the friends who were drinking together found him and told him that this was a common practice for everyone at gatherings. It was normal. As long as no one said anything, who would care about these things
The atmosphere of the empire has always been quite open, especially after the feminist movement, liberating nature has become the new slogan. In a certain ideological sense, the entire society is in a weird "harmony". With the persuasion and comfort of his friends, Walter gradually began to adapt to such a leisurely life.
He would play cards every once in a while, win some money, and then everyone would sit together and drink and pick up girls. He would almost forget his identity and even feel that he had integrated into the upper class society. Maybe this is what upper class society is like!
There is another card game today. Just like before, Walter has been winning money. He has tried his best to teach these card players how to add more strategies to the game, such as swindling and cheating, so that the other party will mistakenly think that you have something. Very big cards and give up the cards in hand, but these people will never learn. He folded the chips in front of him with a look of helplessness and began to shuffle and deal the cards.
There are some slight differences between this time and the past, because a woman has joined the poker game. It is said that this young girl is a new neighbor and actively wants to integrate into the leisurely life of Oak Bay, so the card game organizers brought her in. Come over and join in everyone’s activities.
For some reason, Walter felt that this girl was a little strange. She always looked at him from time to time, and her eyes were very seductive and a little bit adoring, which made him feel itchy. Any man would always feel happy when faced with such half-covered admiration from a young and beautiful woman, and Walter felt happy too.
After the four-hour card game, it was time for everyone to go and have some fun, except for the girl. The girl's eyes looked a little sad when she left. This abnormal look suddenly made Walter change his mind, and he wanted to send the girl back. Everyone may have sensed something, but they didn't make it difficult for him to participate in the boys' "Pink Night" activities, and some even encouraged him.
After sending the girl back to her home, the girl unexpectedly kissed Walter on the cheek and jumped into the door. He stood outside the door and touched the place where he had been kissed. His heartbeat was very fast, gurgling. The hammer thumped on his chest, and a smile appeared on his face. He hummed a rare tune while walking in the community, and suddenly found that the world was so beautiful.
The subsequent card games twice a week became his happiest time, and his relationship with the girl became better and better. The girl admired that he could always win, liked his humor, and even thought that the food he cooked was the best in the world. Delicious food. Yes, Walter took her back to his home and made a dinner. His daughter was in the Royal Academy, which was under completely closed management. He could not leave there except for holidays and asking for leave. He was the only one in the whole villa.
He felt as if he was back when he was young and fell into crazy love again. Finally, the relationship between the two made a breakthrough, and everything seemed to happen naturally.
The next day, Walter took the girl to the newly opened amusement park and cooked a sumptuous dinner in the evening as if to celebrate something. He had never thought that life would be so beautiful.
At the same time, girls who were taking classes at the Royal Academy were informed that because several very important teachers needed to participate in an academic exchange event, certain classes in the academy decided to have a three-day holiday. This news made many students cheer, including Walt and Nadia's daughter Melissa.
She could finally breathe a sigh of relief. When her past friends heard that she was going to the Royal Academy, their eyes showed jealousy. This school only accepted the elites of the empire and students with special talents, and not all students with special talents were accepted. Anyone with special skills can come in. Not only must they have special skills, but they must also have a certain reputation. She thought this was the beginning of a good life, but she didn't expect that the strict education system here made her breathless. She could barely keep up with the heavy homework tasks and fast-paced learning speed. She hadn't rested for a long time. This time I can finally take a break.
The teacher had already left in the afternoon. Although it was said that there was no need to continue the class after the teacher left, every student continued to study and write homework spontaneously. It was not easy to enter the Royal Academy no matter what the reason was. , they can understand how valuable it is to have such an opportunity. After finishing the self-study class in the afternoon, I went to the library to look up some information. The teachers would not tell every student the answers to all the questions. They would only tell part of the results, and the students needed to figure out the rest by themselves.
After dinner, she said goodbye to her girlfriends and friends in the dormitory and went home with a small bag in her arms. The whole house was dark, only the lights on the second floor were on. She quietly reached the second floor to give Walter a surprise, an unexpected surprise!
