Chapter 24 - : Enter this circle (1/2)

There is a kind of girl whose smile makes you really think there is an angel in this world.

Vivi Young!

I murmur the name in my heart, and at the same time try to take a deep breath, keep my tone normal, and then slowly say: ”Miss Young, I'm Chen Yang.”

She smiles and looks at me as if she has noticed my gaffes. But she doesn't show any dissatisfaction. She even doesn't keep her eyes on my face for a long time, just sweeps randomly and turns to Juan. Then I hear she says softly: ”Is that him?”

Juan nods. He holds a cigar in his hand and waves to let me walk up to him, motion me to sit next to him. He pour me another glass of wine, and look at her: ”Miss Young, Little 5 is the person I trust the most.”

”All right!” VIvi Young ponders a little and nods, ”I accept your request. It's your money anyway.” There seems to be a slight dissatisfaction in her tone.

Juan doesn't speak. He taps his finger on the table a few times and says in a very serious tone, ”Miss Young, I hope you understand. You and your family behind you may be powerful in the States, but everything here must be done according to my rules! I am the one who makes the rules of the game.” At this point, he slowly raises his head and looks at Vivi Young. ”As you said, I pay, so I do have the right to decide, don't I?”

Vivi Young's eyes narrows. I notice that as this woman squints, there is the sharp glints in her eyes, as if full of inspiration and with a faint sharp edge.

I've never seen a woman with such a great force in her eyes, as if at this moment she is not a delicate beauty at all, but a master of life and death!

But it lasts only a few seconds, and then Vivi Young smiles a little bit on her face. She takes a deep look at me, and holds out her hand: ”All right, Mr. Chen Yang, I hope we can cooperate happily.”

I look at the slender hand reaches out to me, a little puzzled at what to do. But then I reach out and hold her hand in my hand. I speak to her with a humble voice: ”Thank you!”

I've noticed that Vivi Young seems to have a slight disdain to me, which is likely a despised attitude.

What makes me depressed is that such attitude is not due to her pride. It seems to be a completely instinctive reaction.

How to say, it is like an elephant looks down on ants. I don't think anyone would accuse elephants of being proud.

Vivi Young's posture has completely returned to normal, and she immediately opens her hand and smile, ”Well, business is over, Mr. Yeh. I don't think you're going to be stingy and entertain me here? I also want to take a chance at the casino outside.”

Juan smiles. He presses a bell on the table. Jim and pushes the door open and comes in.

”Please take Miss Young out and give her some chips.”

Vivi Yang smiles and says, ”Then I'll get it myself. I heard this is the biggest casino in the south of your country. I'm afraid if I won too much, Mr. Yeh will be worried then.”

I noticed that the muscles in the corners of Juan's eyes seems to be beating slightly. But his face looks the same and says lightly, ”I hope you'll have fun.”

When Vivi Young is walking out of the room, as soon as she passes me, she stays for a second. I notice that she takes a look at me, but her eyes are still indifferent.

When there are only two of us left in the room, Juan finally leans back in his chair and relaxes. He frowns slightly, takes out a small bottle of medicine from his jacket pocket, swallows two pills, and then hangs his head and rests for a while.

I am somewhat surprised. I look at the medicine bottle in his hand. The words on it are all in foreign languages. I can't understand it at all.

”5,” Juan waves and let me sit closer to him: ”Originally I still intend to hone you for another two years, but now it does not look good.” He seems to laugh. ”I don't have enough time.”

”Juan, your body?” I blurt.

Juan shook his head, and then he gasps for a moment. Suddenly he sit up straight, and then his eyes grow sharper. ”Well, you can rest assured that I won't fall so easily.” He stares at me. ”5, I have something to tell you right now. When I say it, don't interrupt me or ask questions. When I finish, If you have any questions, I will answer you. ”

”Yes.” I also sit straight.

”I believe you must be surprised to be here tonight. Everyone thinks that I am a rich man in this city. I own some nightnightclubs, restaurants, combined with tens of millions of assets. I have power in the local, and also have some relationship with higher level. To speak well, I am a hero on the side. To say hard to hear, I'm a local landlord.”

I listen still.

”But now I'm going to tell you something about me. The casino you see tonight and this hotel are all under my name. But they are not my private assets

I believe in your cleverness, you must be able to guess. To run a casino of such a large scale in this place needs how much energy to cover! I can tell you that the annual profit of this casino is absolutely astronomical. It's a figure that ordinary people can't even think about. However, although the money is managed and handled by me, it does not all belong to me. I can only make up less than 10 percent of it.

What I can tell you is that behind this casino, there are a lot of people or forces and organizations. The profits of this casino should be allocated to them. These behind people, some pay directly in the casino to take a certain share, some do not pay money. But because of their existence, can bring casino the safest umbrella. As long as these people are there, the casino can continue to survive.

Here, this casino, this hotel, is a lot of money that can't be put on the table, gather together. It's a channel for these organizations, forces, big people to make money! And me, Juan Yeh, the person in charge here, is just a representative be pushed to the front desk. It is my duty to represent the people behind me to run these industries and to distribute the profits each year. In other words, I am a shopkeeper, but not a real boss. Do you understand? ”

I nod my head and swallow my saliva. I am feeling my throat dry.
