Chapter 521 - Chapter 521: Chapter 323: Your Acting is Too Awful!_2 (2/2)

This… Is it over already?

The two sat down, and it hadn’t even been five minutes!

No!

It hadn’t even been two minutes!

Had he successfully quit gambling?

Chen Ming and Old Zhang glanced at each other, both seeing surprise in the other’s eyes.

This scene was far from what they had imagined. They had thought that Lin Chuan would display his awe-inspiring cheating techniques and completely shatter Yao Jie’s psychological defenses, and then Yao Jie would quit gambling.

Not like now, where Lin Chuan said a few words, and Yao Jie claimed he wouldn’t gamble anymore, or if he did, it would just be for a little fun.

“Congratulations, President Yao! You’ve been enlightened by Writer Lin and escaped from the bitter sea!” Chen Ming came back to his senses and said in a timely manner.

Yao Jie nodded, “Indeed, I was too engrossed to see clearly. Writer Lin is not only a master in literature but must also be skilled in cheating techniques. With just a few words, you’ve opened my eyes. I admire you!”

Chen Ming chimed in, “President Yao, what you don’t know is that, apart from being a literary creator and an expert in cheating techniques, Writer Lin is also the leading figure in Anling City’s network security.”

Lin Chuan waved his hand away, “You flatter me.”

Surprise appeared on Yao Jie’s face, “The leading figure in network security?”

Chen Ming then enthusiastically embellished his knowledge of Lin Chuan and the 720 Company.

Yao Jie was very engrossed, and looked at Lin Chuan with a hint of ‘admiration,’ “Director Lin, I had no idea you were such an expert. If there is a chance in the future, I must ask Lin Chuan for help. I hope you won’t find my bothering you troublesome!”

Lin Chuan waved his hand again, “You flatter me.”

The two then exchanged business cards and chatted amiably.

The topic of gambling seemed to have turned a page suddenly.

This puzzled Old Zhang.

After walking out of Yueming Tea House, Old Zhang couldn’t hold back and asked, “Lin, what kind of magic did you use?”

“Magic is a Western concept, I used the mysterious powers of the East!” Lin Chuan laughed.

Old Zhang was torn between laughter and tears, “I just want to know how you managed to make President Yao quit gambling with just a few words?”

“Why would you want to know that?” Lin Chuan asked.

“It’s pretty cool!”

Old Zhang said frankly.

In his mind, he thought how cool it would be if he could also use a few words to persuade someone to quit gambling!

Lin Chuan laughed, “Actually, President Yao wasn’t here to quit gambling, so he doesn’t need to quit.”

“Ah?”

Now Old Zhang was even more confused.

“The theory about fearing his wife, I actually made that up.” Lin Chuan said with a light laugh, “However, he did play along with me, so to you, it looked like I managed to make President Yao quit gambling in just a minute or two.”

“I’m a bit lost with what you’re saying.” Old Zhang scratched his head, “Why would he play along with you?”

“Maybe, I give off a strong deterrence?” Lin Chuan joked.

Old Zhang shook his head, still somewhat disbelieving.

Lin Chuan simply smiled and didn’t continue to explain, but instead took out the business card from his gray suit jacket and glanced at it, thinking to himself,

“President Yao, your acting skills are too poor!”

The business card showed that the company Yao Jie worked for, Heart Language Company, managed entertainment businesses like game centers and e-sports internet cafes.

From the start, Lin Chuan had been watching Yao Jie.

Yao Jie’s eyes would occasionally dart away, giving off the feeling of having a guilty conscience.

Plus, with Lin Chuan’s made-up claim that ‘real gamblers aren’t afraid of their wives,’ it was clear Yao Jie felt guilty.

Thus, he kept giving in, ‘quitting gambling’ rapidly, just so that he could state his aim while speaking less, wanting to exchange business cards.

That might be his current mission.

Lin Chuan combined the information from Squirrel with his own analysis and could roughly guess that Yao Jie might be someone sent by the Baisheng Group.

“Just, why did he exchange business cards with me?”

Lin Chuan was also puzzled.

Merely exchanging a business card certainly wouldn’t reveal any problems.

Could it be that they would use this business card to proceed to the next step?
