Chapter 43 - The irresistible luckiness (2/2)
Before I explain, he has already laughed in a low ambiguous voice: “These girls, besides the salary they get from the club, are living by the tips given by the players. If you’re interested in her, come here a couple of times, tip her a little more, ask her out for dinner, go to the bar after dinner and have a drink, and then open a hotel room that night…”
I shake my head at once: “Mr. Kim, you misunderstood. I’m only been on this occasion for the first time and I’m curious about everything here. It’s nothing else.”
Kim curls his lips and says to himself in a vague tone: “Yes…Facing Nanny Fang all day, you are naturally not interested in other women.”.
The girl in red laughs professionally and acts very skillfully. She quickly puts the ball in place and then gives the white ball to Minister Kim.
We are playing the side pocket. Because my snooker level is just so so, I feel I may have more confidence on side pocket.
I humility to let him kicks the ball first. When he hits the first shot, I realize that I am in trouble.
He has a very professional position of hold the cue. No, not just professional, but almost like a career player. Lowers back, grips, hits, the expression on his face is plunged and serious. When the balls are shot down by him, the expression on his face is more and more exuberant. A pair of eyes are brighter.
Until he makes a slight mistake in the sixth pole, it finally comes to my turn.
Nanny Fang didn’t telllie, this guy is really a master! And he is very depressed of the mistake just now. It seems that he rarely makes such a mistakeon weekdays.
I know I am in trouble now.
Give the devil my due, my strength is no good than the level of the roadside billiard stall, just belongs to the upper middle. But facing such a master, I’m completely not able to competing with!
If just want me to lose, then no problem. Anyway, I am not as good as him.
But Nanny wants me to lock him in battle then lose. It’s really an impossible mission.
It’s my turn because of his mistake, but probably I am too nervous, and I haven’t played for more than a month. My arm was injured, and the movements are a little bit raw. As a result, I hit the ball off the charts. If I haven’t been lucky, I’m afraid the white ball would have almost gone into the bag! No ball in pool for sure!
Then it’s Kim’s turn again. This time he doesn’t give me any chance, one ball shot at a time, swept all his colored balls on the table into the bag, and theb shot down the Black 8.
Defeat! I am almost slaughtered!
Minister Kim takes two cigars out of his arms and throws one to me: “Young man, you are a little out of line.”
I smile and say: “Sorry, I slipped my hand just now. But Minister Kim, your level is really first class!”
Damn it, luckily I didn’t play snooker with him, otherwise I will lose much more.
The girl in red next to us takes the cigar and the cigar scissors very thoughtfully and helps us lighting the cigars. Then she carefully arranges the table again.
Minister Kim asks me to take a break. I see a tendency in his eyes to lose interest. Maybe I played too low level in the last game to make him a little uninterested.
Generally masters are all like this, as if you let a master play chess with a beginner, he must be feeling boring!
I must do something!
If today’s first job assignment is screwed up, then I’m afraid I’ll be swept out on the first day of work by Nanny!
I need this job. I need income. Since I am determined to leave the nightclub and live a normal life, I must have a steady income!
There are two girls in the family living with mine, and I have a girlfriend. Everything costs money.
I take a deep breath and hit the first pole…
The first shot is not too bad, but unfortunately I did not score a ball into the bag and then Minister Kim’s turn again.
I see he’s holding the cigar in mouth and shaking his head imperceptibly. It seems that he is somewhat dissatisfied and helpless.
I know that if he continues perform like this, I’m afraid he will lose all his interests on me soon.
Spell it! An idea is suddenly acrossing my mind.
Then I step back half a step, take my wallet out of my arms, and take a silver ring out of it!
When I put this ring on, Kim shoots.
Bang!
He smoothly hit a colored ball belonging to him into the bag, unfortunately, the white ball next also rolling past with it.
Bang!
The white ball goes into the bag!
He has made such a low level mistake.
