The other side.
In the casino.
It's magnificent, with crystal chandeliers shining in all directions. It doesn't feel smoky at all. Instead, it feels like you've come to a high-end leisure club. There are all kinds of gambling tables, roulette, baccarat, and some card tables. You can tell by looking at the chips. They are all relatively small. There should be a VIP area further in. However, Jiangnan Province’s group obviously has no intention of going in. Anyway, they can only look at it but not touch it, and there are no traces on them. For chips, just stroll around this small hall and take a look.
"Is the casino big enough?"
"Haha, there's still more inside."
"Yeah?"
"There are still a few areas, but we definitely can't enter."
"Why? You want a membership card?"
"It depends on how many chips you redeem, more is fine."
"The young master recorded in the Book of Song Dynasty is well-informed."
"Aunt Chen, I also heard what others said, haha."
The young man who had been here once started to show off and acted as a tour guide for everyone. After introducing this and that, he kept talking. Several young people with him also echoed a few words, and they all seemed to understand. After being suppressed by Dong Xuebin for so long in the car, they finally took back the initiative to speak. There were so many people that they felt that they had overshadowed Dong Xuebin. There was a strong sense of small circles. It is no wonder that they are xenophobic everywhere. . On the other hand, Dong Xuebin didn't speak since he entered the casino, he just watched.
Then Mr. Song looked at Dong Xuebin: "Xuebin, did you play cards in college?"
Dong Xuebin smiled slightly and said, "Play. Play often."
Mr. Song said very familiarly: "A man who plays with money?"
Many older cadres and family members felt that this was inappropriate.
But Dong Xuebin is not pretentious, and he doesn't care about "playing with money, only 10 or 20 cents, haha, I didn't have any money at the time, so I didn't play a few times."
Hou Wen wanted to add something to Dong Xuebin. After all, he is now a member of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. This topic is a bit sensitive.
But Dong Xuebin disagreed: "Hey. Who hasn't played cards with friends and classmates a few times? This can only be regarded as entertainment, not gambling."
Hou Wen smiled and said, "You don't know how to gamble. You were the only one with poor poker skills in our dormitory back then. You can't even play Landlords. We are here to teach you."
Dong Xuebin said: "You still have the nerve to mention it. You can't even teach me everything. You guys team up to beat me."
The nephews of the officials were all a bit repelled by Dong Xuebin, but the only girl among them, Han Fang, always squeezed into the circle of Dong Xuebin and Hou Wen. He smiled and said: "How about we go back to the hotel to play cards at night? If you don't want to play with money, how about playing truth or dare?"
Hou Wenyi clapped his hands, "I think it works!"
Dong Xuebin smiled and said: "Come on, you don't know my card skills. If you want to play, I won't be able to win. It's up to you to torture me."
Mr. Han Fang is close to Dong Xuebin. Mr. Song and his gang really can't stand it and are very unconvinced. Isn't it just a higher level? How did he get there? Where can there be such a young cadre at the division level? It's probably through the back door. It's been more than an hour since just now, and they haven't seen anything about Dong Xuebin's abilities or dazzling appearance. temperament? character? Knowledge? Conversation? Everything is ordinary! Even more ordinary than ordinary people, which made them feel even more unbalanced.
Seeing that they were chatting enthusiastically, Mr. Song deliberately interrupted their words, and consciously showed off his experience and knowledge. He pointed to the top and said, "Did you see it? There are cameras on it, and behind the glass, too. Hidden cameras, the coverage here can reach almost 80%.”
Han Fang blinked: "So many?"
Mr. Song nodded and said with a smile: "To prevent someone from cheating."
Everyone in the group also looked up and said, "Hey, this angle?"
Hou Wen was also stunned for a moment, "How do I realize that these cameras seem to be facing us?"
Mr. Song and the others looked up and were also shocked. It was okay to say that there was no change in the distance, but the six or seven cameras nearby were all pointed at them. As everyone walked forward, the cameras were also buzzing. It made a sizzling sound and turned with them.
A female family member said: "Is something wrong?"
Everyone frowned, what does this mean? What are you doing to them
Han Fang and Hou Wen stared at a camera respectively, but there was no response from the camera and it was still pointed at them.
But when Dong Xuebin squinted and looked at the camera diagonally above him, after only a second, the camera hurriedly turned and moved in another direction.
Dong Xuebin: “…”
He didn't understand what it meant either.
Did you recognize their identities? So what's the use? The officials who came here are definitely not the first wave, and there are many big shots inside. Their identities are not enough to see. There is no need to attract so much attention from the casino. They have no meaning at all. . Or could it be that they were cheating? How is it possible? They didn't even change their chips and had no intention of placing bets!
Everyone was very uncomfortable and didn't understand what was going on.
Suddenly, the elevator door opened, and four or five staff members in suits came out. Unlike security guards, they looked like the kind of people who would sit in an office. As soon as they came out, they looked in the direction of these people from Jiangnan Province. , stepped forward, and came up bravely.
Two groups of people met.
A man at the head immediately said: "Hello, I am the person in charge here."
The oldest one among them was the wife of a municipal party committee secretary. She was also very imposing. She lowered her eyes and looked at them, "What's the matter with you?"
The person in charge coughed and said, "I would like to ask, are you all together?"
Dong Xuebin said with a straight face, "How about being together, what about not being together?"
Seeing Dong Xuebin, the person in charge's pupils shrank, and several staff behind him also looked at Dong Xuebin with wide eyes, as if they were looking at giant pandas.
Dong Xuebin wondered: "What are you looking at me doing? I have smear on my face?"
Han Fang said unhappily: "What do you mean? Why are the cameras pointing at us?"
Mr. Song and others also said: "Why are you spying on us? Give us an explanation!"
They are all relatively high-status people. Everyone is very dissatisfied with this kind of special treatment and their tone is very harsh. There is no coward here. As soon as they started shouting, many gamblers in the casino also noticed it, and even many dealers and staff in the hall looked at them strangely.
Is it Brother Zhang
Or Brother Li and the others
Why did they come down in person
The dealers all know a few people and know that they are responsible for the operation of the casino, especially the person in charge at the front, who is obviously in charge of the people in front of the stage.
But what surprised them was that the person in charge today seemed to be relatively low-key, with a polite expression on his face. They only heard him say: "I'm not spying on everyone, mainly for some special reasons. Well, forget it, I'll just tell you. , I won’t waste everyone’s time, um, I have a humble request, can you...” The person in charge looked at Dong Xuebin, with a wry smile on his face and said: “Can you please show your respect and give our boss a face, today...”
Hou Wen was startled.
Han Fang was stunned.
Dong Xuebin pointed to himself, "Are you talking to me?"
The person in charge wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Yes, look..."
Mr. Song and the others looked at Dong Xuebin in astonishment. What do you mean
At this moment, Dong Xuebin probably understood why the other party acted like he was facing a formidable enemy before, and he was speechless for a while. "You mean to let me go back?"
The person in charge clasped his fists and said: "Hold your hands high, hold your hands high."
Han Fang said angrily: "Why should Mr. Dong go back?"
A staff member from behind said hurriedly: "We are actually quite embarrassed, but..."
Dong Xuebin was also very unhappy and said: "We haven't even changed our chips, and we have no intention of betting with you. We just came here to take a look and take a walk. Why don't we even have this right?"
The person in charge smiled bitterly and said: "Your friends can do it, but you..."
Dong Xuebin became even more angry, "What's wrong? Are you treating them differently?"
"No, no." Saying this, the person in charge actually wanted to curse in his heart. Of course, he was treated differently. Did you just know? It's not that we are deliberately targeting you, but you are a god who won a large casino and lost his wife with just one chip. How dare we let you in
No chips
No matter if you don’t have chips!
They can't take this risk!
It's okay for the other people on the danger list. Some people don't even need to worry about it. They can just follow the camera. As long as the amount of expenditure is not too large, they will accept it. But this person in front of them cannot do it. This person is famous for being ruthless. Man, what if I get him a chip and put it into the slot machine and it rolls out a 777? Their casino's profits were wiped out in half a month!
Not only the people in Jiangnan Province couldn't understand, but the surrounding gamblers, dealers and staff who didn't understand the situation were also shocked. They had never seen such a formation before. What's going on? Why don't you just come in and take a look? Didn’t redeem the chips either? Are you not allowed to see this? Is he a gambler with bad records? No, people with bad records are not even allowed to enter. Even if they sneak in, the person in charge of the casino cannot be so polite, right? They had already driven away the people!
Dong Xuebin said: "What if I don't leave?"
The person in charge wiped his sweat again and said, "Can I lend a step to talk?"
"No need, just tell me here!" Dong Xuebin said in a bad tone.
The person in charge really didn’t know what to say, so he could only keep a low profile, his posture was very low, and he clasped his fists and said bitterly: "We have gotten to know each other now. If you have anything to help with in the future, please speak up. But today, can you please give me some help?" What a favor to our boss? We are also a small business. Please let us go today. I would like to thank you on behalf of the boss."
When everyone heard this, they almost vomited blood!
Small business? You are the largest casino in Macao! Do you still have a small business?
