Ye Shuang…
Zhuo Feiyang was silent for half a minute because of this deceptive name. This was not the name of his Brother Shuang. How could he become a soft girl? Could it be that... it's a secret code? !
"Do you want to see your ID card?" Ye Shuang asked with a smile.
The man with glasses didn't understand the highlight of this question, but Zhuo Feiyang bit off the tip of his tongue before swallowing the "Okay" that he almost blurted out.
However, although this self-introduction seemed a bit confusing, Zhuo Feiyang also understood the meaning of the "Ye Shuang" in front of him. It seemed that he must be in the same group as Brother Shuang. Thinking about it, he was still betting before and even started to generalize. Unwilling to lose money, Zhuo Feiyang immediately felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured down on him. He couldn't help but feel guilty in front of Sister Shuang... Although he initially agreed to accompany the man in glasses to the casino in order to lower his guard, Zhuo Feiyang admitted that he was facing I still lose a certain amount of rationality when I win or lose.
Looking around with drifting eyes, Zhuo Feiyang didn't see Brother Shuang nearby. Then he gave a flattering smile, swept the chips on the table into his trouser pocket, pretended to be nonchalant and cleared his throat: "Ms. Ye's gambling skills are really good. ,I see."
After saying that, he turned around and left as if he had a profound enlightenment. He was so cool that he didn't take away a single cloud... He needed to cool down his emotions now, otherwise it would be really easy to indulge in it unknowingly.
It is absolutely no joke that gambling addiction is like drug addiction. Both of them are things that corrode reason and calmness. Regardless of whether you are alert or not, ordinary people will always become addicted involuntarily as long as they have too much addiction. For real masters, such as people like Abner, they no longer regard winning money as their goal. In their eyes, gambling is like a game or competition, similar to running, similar to shooting, similar to hurdling... Anyway, it is good, gambling itself Winning or losing is no longer the point. What matters is whether their skills can defeat their opponents and win...
The man with glasses was dumbfounded—what do you know? Why are you leaving, dear! Come back and speak clearly, dear!
Being defeated and shocked by a master and suddenly changing your mind...isn't this a plot that only exists in novels? ! !
Seeing Zhuo Feiyang walk out of the casino without any hesitation, the bespectacled man who didn't react at all was so angry that he gritted his teeth with hatred and couldn't help but glared at Ye Shuang. However, since Ye Shuang was a guest on the ship, the man with glasses did not dare to act rashly no matter how angry he was before he knew the details of the other party.
Two more people walked in at the door. Lu Shaoyue was followed by a middle-aged man in his forties. Because there were not many people in the casino, Ye Shuang and the two people in front of the dice table were particularly eye-catching.
Lu Shaoyue paused, then walked over and smiled: "Miss Ye is also interested in dice?"
"Just for fun, I happened to see someone I knew, so I couldn't help but come over and give him a shake." Ye Shuang also smiled and nodded slightly to the man next to Lu Shaoyue with no intention of taking the initiative to get to know him.
The middle-aged man didn't take it seriously. This gesture meant that Ye Shuang had no intention of entering Lu Shaoyue's personal social circle. And if Lu Shaoyue thought it was necessary, he would naturally take the initiative to introduce the two parties... Just like Ye Shuang had no intention of introducing the man with glasses next to him at this time, who knows whether the two people standing together met by chance or were acquaintances, and he didn't want to deal with it. Or was there some friendship originally
"I originally wanted to wait for the banquet to start in the evening before looking for you, but now it seems that Miss Ye has already rested?" Lu Shaoyue invited: "If you don't mind, can I accompany Miss Ye to the deck? There is an outdoor movie on the top floor. You see, you can get some sunshine right there.”
Oh, I don't want to deal with it... Ye Shuang came up with the answer in an instant. He glanced at the middle-aged man who was not included in Lu Shaoyue's invitation, put on a standard smile and was about to speak, when the sound of slightly hurried footsteps started again. came from the door, and before anyone else could turn around, the croupier in front of the dice table bowed his head in greeting.
Ye Shuang, Lu Shaoyue and others turned to look at the door, and happened to see Zhuo Yuanhang walking towards this side. The latter stopped at the entrance of the casino for a while, and looked around the casino with obvious purpose. It seemed that he didn't find the person he was looking for, and then his eyes fell on Ye Shuang and the others.
"Zhuo Yuanhang?" Lu Shaoyue turned sideways and stood side by side with Ye Shuang: "You're here to see Miss Ye?"
"I don't think it should be..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhuo Yuanhang had already walked up to him: "Miss Ye."
"..." Ye Shuang coughed, ignoring Lu Shaoyue's teasing eyes and asking seriously: "What's the matter with Mr. Zhuo?"
Zhuo Yuanhang's eyes were calm and serious: "I heard that Feiyang is here. Did you just see him?"
Do you want to file a complaint? ! It's not good to leave a bad impression of being lax. You won't be able to have fun when you see Zhuo Feiyang again in the future. Besides, he wasn't the only one who could tell the truth... Ye Shuang glanced sideways at the croupier in front of the dice table.
The croupier was sweating profusely. He had to bear the despicable responsibility of an informant despite Zhuo Yuanhang's gaze: "Yes, boss, the second young master just lost a lot here..."
The corners of Zhuo Yuanhang's lips curled up into a sarcastic sneer, which was very powerful and meaningful, making people think - the naughty kid will definitely be repaired if he turns around!
Ye Shuang decisively focused on the beautiful scenery of blue sea and blue sky outside the window. Lu Shaoyue looked casual and had nothing to do with himself. The man with glasses suddenly felt guilty and wanted to get out of the way. The middle-aged man... his presence had been completely forgotten. .
Zhuo Yuanhang did not continue to pester after getting the accurate answer, and nodded to Ye Shuang: "If Miss Ye sees my unscrupulous brother in the future, please take more care of me."
"Definitely, definitely!" Ye Shuang nodded hurriedly.
Zhuo Yuanhang was always playing a bad role. His mission was to make Zhuo Feiyang veto his brother's "idiot" decision in key project links while Zhuo Feiyang was pretending to be plotted and entangled with the Xihua Group. Because of this, At this time, there would be nothing wrong with Zhuo Yuanhang taking control of things with integrity.
Otherwise, if he is really like a brother who is completely kept in the dark, how can he jump out in time at the decisive moment and carry out the important task of causing trouble for the Xihua Group? !
The bespectacled man's eyes flickered and he didn't dare to look at Zhuo Yuanhang. He was now afraid that the croupier would be too attentive and expose his identity as a companion.
Fortunately, Zhuo Yuanhang probably didn't want to reveal his trump card so quickly, so he chatted a few more words with Ye Shuang, and by the way said hello to Lu Shaoyue, and got to know each other with the middle-aged man... He greeted almost everyone in a circle with thoughtful etiquette. Afterwards, Zhuo Yuanhang said goodbye and left.
Ye Shuang breathed a sigh of relief and silently lit a candle for Zhuo Feiyang. Although the other party deliberately cooperated with Xihua Group's wooing, which was part of the plan, Zhuo Yuanhang came all the way because he obviously got some inappropriate information... For example, the stupid brother was almost deceived even though he knew there was a scam. .
Based on this alone, it was expected that Zhuo Feiyang would be severely punished.
Lu Shaoyue watched Zhuo Yuanhang leave, sighing and shaking his head: "There are many people trapped in the gambling situation, and I am afraid that Young Master Zhuo has also worried a lot about this younger brother."
"Young people have poor concentration, and they tend to get addicted if they take gains and losses too seriously... Well, after all, it's someone else's private matter. Didn't Mr. Lu say he wanted to go to an outdoor movie?!" Ye Shuang didn't want to make any judgments, and the man with glasses was still there. It would be bad if he stood nearby and didn't leave, it would be bad if people got wary.
So Lu Shaoyue apologized to the middle-aged man, and took Ye Shuang out of the casino to watch a movie on the top deck. The bespectacled man was left with a sigh of relief and thought that he had not exposed himself - he was a scrambled egg! You are so good at playing dice and you still have the nerve to say that gambling is not a good thing? !
…
The afternoon passed quickly while watching a movie, enjoying snacks and drinks while enjoying the sea breeze. There was a handsome and elegant man sitting next to me. It was fine when there was sunshine during the day, but at night the sea breeze was not enjoyment but torture. After all, we haven’t entered yet. In summer, no matter how warm the temperature is in Chaohai City, it will not affect the night on the sea.
Zhuo Yuanhangjia's cruise ship has nine decks on the surface, more than 200 meters long and 60 meters wide. It is much smaller than other larger cruise ships with more than ten decks, but it is also rare in China.
In the evening, when it was just getting dark, the lights around the ship, on the deck, and in the cabin were all on. The entire ship was very eye-catching and bright on the dark sea surface at night.
The guests had probably rested and tidied up in the afternoon. After having dinner one after another, they began to find activities on the deck. However, because the total number of guests was only about a hundred, it still seemed a bit deserted when they were spread out on the ninth deck. . Especially since most of the ladies did not come out. For the evening banquet, these people may have been struggling with makeup, hairstyle and evening gowns from the moment they boarded the ship.
At around six o'clock, the sea breeze was already a bit damp and cold, and the sky was getting dark, so Lu Shaoyue invited Ye Shuang to have dinner together.
At seven o'clock, I went back to the room to change clothes and clean up. During this time, I exchanged notes with Han Chu about the results of their respective itineraries in the afternoon. At half past eight, Lu Shaoyue knocked on the door on time, and then the two of them left together.
The dress Ye Shuang wears is not of a particularly expensive brand. After all, a socialite is not the same as a star. No one is watching that everything from your top to socks, shoes and bags must be of the latest style. She has now passed the entry-level stage and does not need to use external labels to pile up her own value. She only needs to maintain her personal image to a level that is not rude... What does not be rude? For example, you don’t need to wear Valentino’s seasonal handmade custom-made products, but at least everyone must have heard of the brand name…
"There seem to be a lot more people at night?" Ye Shuang held Lu Shaoyue's arm and walked while looking at the deck outside. He said with interest: "I remember that there are only more than fifty suites in the first class cabin, and those politicians and celebrities who were invited probably didn't There will be some who stay in ordinary cabins... Each guest is allowed to bring one companion, and there are only more than 100 people, so why does it seem like there are more than 100 guests now?"
Lu Shaoyue smiled, his eyes also glanced from outside the deck, and then said: "There are also some celebrities and models who have been invited. These are the conventions of Zhuo Yuanhang's cruise events. These celebrity models are just for everyone to see. There are also people who perform for fun at certain parties, which are equivalent to waiters responsible for pleasing the guests. They are not guests themselves... The cabin is for these people. "
"...Zhuo Yuanhang is really capable." Ye Shuang didn't know what to say.
"It's just mutual benefit." Lu Shaoyue led Ye Shuang across the deck and down the stairs: "Anyway, more people will just pay more for food. These celebrities want to take this opportunity to get to know more people and see if they can be promoted. The steps on the body, and the guests are also willing to look at the handsome guys and beauties for pleasure..." After a pause at this point, Lu Shaoyue even blinked and joked: "Miss Ye should understand, generally those who are successful in their careers can work in this kind of business. Most of the people at the helm who speak on behalf of the family business are over 30 or 40 years old, and there really aren’t many surprises in terms of appearance.”
Ye Shuang was also happy. Zhuo Yuanhang invited all the top celebrities in the country, and the young and promising ones were indeed a minority. Even if the younger generation was released to see the world and expand social relations on behalf of the family, not all of them might be good-looking enough to be worthy of the audience.
However, she believed that Lu Shaoyue had something to say. There must be many of these celebrities who want to fly into the sky, such as those who have been working for top financial sponsors for twenty years... This kind of thing is something you and I would like, but Zhuo Yuanhang won't do it. Pimp, but also not prohibitive restrictions.
Keeping silent wisely, Ye Shuang was happy to pretend that she didn't know anything, and walked into the dinner hall with Lu Shaoyue, instantly switching to the most standard elegant temperament, and blending into the hall's fragrant clothes and temples. (To be continued)
