Chapter 290 (2/2)
Jasmine took out a business card from her pocket, handed it over to Geezer Li and said with a smile, “Hello, Sir. I’m the Vice President of Lao Bay Resort, Ai Jasmine. You can call me Manager Jasmine. Mr. Tang is our distinguished guest, so I’m here to ensure the service myself.”
A Vice President? And he’s a VIP?
For the first time, Geezer Fatty Li was piqued by Tang Xiu’s identity. The Lao Bay Resort was an upscale and luxurious holiday resort, and he also heard that the force behind it was rather powerful. Someone who could become a Vice President here certainly possessed unusual identity. While she personally accompanied Tag Xiu and even said that he was a VIP, this was evidence that Tang Xiu himself had an extraordinary identity, far more than the person himself had said?
“I’m Li Laoshan, this is my business card!”
Geezer Fatty Li also gave his business card to Jasmine.
“Well, I’ll inform the Reception Manager of the Resort about you, Mr. Li. Since you are a friend of Mr. Tang’s, then I’ll call him to give you a 40% discount for any of your expenses. This is the maximum rights I can give under my privileges.”
Looking at Tang Xiu with a strange expression, Geezer Fatty Li couldn’t help smiling, “Well, having taken a Thai Massage and met you—Little Brother, it’s rather unexpected it would also drag me into the limelight as well. I gotta say thanks.”
Jasmine nodded and smiled.
“Anyways, Jasmine. You don’t need to escort me. You can take care of your work! Also, if Tom comes at dinner, please inform me,” said Tang Xiu.
“Roger that!” Jasmine chuckled and nodded.
Along with Jasmine’s departure, Geezer Fatty Li embraced Tang Xiu’s shoulders. Letting out mischievous chuckle, he said, “Little Bro, you were hiding something, eh? Having the Vice President escort you personally, is not something possible for a student who has a small business, no? Tell me quickly, from which influential force are you?”
Shrugging his shoulders, Tang Xiu smiled, “Nope. I’m kinda benefitting from my subordinate, to be frank. He and Jasmine’s Boss are friends, a life and death comrade-in-arms to be precise. So, you know the rest.”
Geezer Fatty Li instantly understood as he said with a smile, “Just wow! It looks like the both of us got the limelight from others then. Anyways, shall we go to the casino? I’m sure luck is upon us today, so my luck in gambling should be very good.”
“OK!”
Shortly after, under Geezer Fatty Li’s leading, the duo went to the Lao Bay Resort’s casino.
The two-storied casino was built in a large area. The first floor was a big hall, providing gambling establishments for the public. Inside there lots of people encircling various gambling establishments. The second floor was for private boxes. Unless the gambling bouts were over a billion gambling stake, no one was eligible to enter it.
Geezer Fatty Li, who seemed familiar with the place, brought Tang Xiu to a counter at the innermost to exchange money to chips. He only exchanged 1 million, as did Tang Xiu.
“Little Bro, what do you wanna play?” Geezer Li asked curiously.
Tang Xiu shook his head, “I don’t know much about the rules and customs for gambling in casinos. You play first! I’ll observe and study the gambling machines here. I’ll try to play some games after I got a hint of it.”
Geezer Fatty Li shook his head, “It’s kinda boring if I play alone. Anyways, I’ll help you explaining whatever you wanna know! Let’s see who among us—brothers will have more wins.”
“Are you not afraid to lose all of your money?” Tang Xiu laughed.
Geezer Li raised his brows and grinned, “If I’m gonna lose it all, then let it be. Consider it as payment for picking the Seven Goddesses Dance. Alright, let’s go stroll around!”
The atmosphere inside the casino was lively and noisy. Many gamblers were betting. Those who won were overjoyed with ecstasy all over their faces, whereas those who lost looked dejected with bitterness on their faces.
As a regular patron of the casino, Geezer Fatty Li knew the gambling machines here inside out. He even acted as the gambling guru as he taught Tang Xiu some know-how and gambling tips.
After having circled around, Geezer Li, who had his mouth parched for doing some explanations, conveniently picked up a glass of red wine from the tray brought by a waiter. He drank it and then asked, “So, what do you wanna play, Little Bro? I’ll be accompanying you today and playing the same games with you. Let us compete!”
“Let’s play dice!” Tang Xiu laughed.
Nodding, Geezer Li said, “Let’s go! Betting big or small numbers, you place your bet and that’s it. It’s kinda a good one as simple and crude games are what this Geezer Li excels at.”
As they came to the dice games’ spot, a lot of people had already gathered there.
The dealer was a middle-aged woman and various gamblers were already on the table.
“Ladies and Gentlemen, please take your time to place your bet.”
As the dealer’s voice sounded, the gamblers around put their chips representing the amount of money on the spots they wanted.
Tang Xiu didn’t hurry to place his bet, instead watching it quietly. In stark contrast, Geezer Li, who found that Tang Xiu showed no intention to bet, casually put out two 10K chips.
He bet on a big number.
It was 4, 5 and 6. A total of 15 points.
If 15 points were out, then he would get ten times the bet. If the dices were not 4,5,6, then he would lose 20 thousand.
The dealer’s dice shaking technique was very fast and also rather had a lot of frequency.
Having learned how to listen to the dice shaking technique from Jia Ruidao back then, Tang Xiu shook his head after the dealer pressed the dice cover on the table. He knew that Geezer Li had just lost his 20K bet.
