Chapter 779: Valentineâs Day (D)
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
When the cards were shuffled, although the dealer had already taken out the subst.i.tute card and the Joker, this deck might have had two subst.i.tute cards due to sloppy workers!
Yang Ming saw this subst.i.tute card as his unsuspected rescue from a desperate situation, so he didnât hesitate to take it out.
Regarding the use of the subst.i.tute card, this card could represent any card. If the young man had the Ace of Spades, then Yang Mingâs card could also be the Ace of Spades.
From the rules standpoint, if the card that Yang Ming drew was a waste card, then this game was naturally not counted.
âPresident Nie, who do you think won this game?â Yang Ming asked President Nie who almost had his jaw drop.
âThisâŠâ President Nie also started to be troubled. How could the win or loss be decided? Yang Mingâs subst.i.tute card shouldnât have appeared in the deck, but now it appeared. It was hard to judge this round of gambling. Then, he turned to the dealer with a sullen face. âWhat is going on here?â
The dealer was also troubled. âPresident Nie, I have already removed the extra three cards. Who knew that there was another subst.i.tute card in this deck?â
President Nie glanced at the three cards on the left-hand side of the dealer. They were all quietly there. President Nie also knew that this wasnât the dealerâs fault. He could only blame the factory workers for being careless.
Song Jiang didnât have, and it was absolutely impossible to have poker card manufacturers that catered to casinos. Therefore, the casino cards obtained by the casino were only purchased in bulk from a public card factory, so it wasnât the othersâ fault.
â Hehe .â Seeing Nie Dayu troubled, Yang Ming said with an indifferent smile, âThis isnât the dealerâs fault, but the carelessness of the workers of the card factory. Let us void this round. Weâll play for another round.â
The young person on the other side was also helpless. His original win was actually in such a strange situation that hadnât occurred in ages. But, he had no way to go about it. Now, he couldnât say that he won because the opponent had the subst.i.tute card. It could be anything the person said. It could also be used as an Ace of Spades, so this game could only be revoked.
The young man nodded and said with a bitter smile, âFine. Then let us go for another round. I hope that this wonât happen againâŠâ
The dealer was more careful this time. When he was checking the cards, he carefully examined them. When he was sure there was nothing peculiar this time, he started shuffling the cards. After repeated shuffles, he put the cards on the table for the two people to choose from.
âHow about you firstâŠ?â Yang Ming made a polite gesture. He didnât believe that oneâs luck could be good enough to draw the Ace of Spades twice in a row. If that was the case, then Yang Ming was willing to admit defeat because he had to admit that the young man opposite was the Gambling G.o.dâŠ
Sure enough, the young manâs good luck was gone. He got a card that made Yang Ming almost cramp out of laughter, which was actually the smallest card in the deck â 2 of Diamonds!
These two rounds were really extreme. It went from the biggest to the smallest one so abruptly. However, this time the young man wasnât as eager to open his card. He didnât look after the cards were drawn. He just slapped it on the table. Most probably the young man was too proud, yet he didnât win in the end. He lost some face. So, he simply stayed low this time.
Yang Ming smiled slightly. His tendency to make a prank arose again. He reached out, got a 2 of Clubs, and then turned it directly on the table.
â Ah ââ The audience was suddenly lost. Yang Mingâs card was one of the smallest cards in the deck. Tian Donghua also showed a disappointing look, because this game was the same as the previous game. Yang Ming would lose for sure if there werenât an accident like the last round.
However, the accident in that kind of situation wonât happen every time, not to mention that this time Yang Ming first turned the card. Even if there was an accident, then the accident could only occur on the young manâs side.
However, when everyone found it quite impossible, another surprise had happened!
Even the young man himself showed a slight smile on his face, thinking that he was winning this time. The young man leisurely turned the card in front of him. Everyone also showed a baffled expression. The young man was shocked and quickly looked down at his card. He almost dropped his jaw!
This⊠How can this be? I actually got the lowest card in the deck! The young man almost went crazy. Yang Mingâs was low, but it was only one higher than the card in his hand!
âDonât be too surprised. I have already said that my true ident.i.ty is actually a close disciple of the Gambling G.o.d!â Yang Ming said arrogantly.
Everyone naturally didnât believe it, but because of the two occurrences, they also sighed in their hearts that Yang Ming could actually have such good luck. He could actually win that way!
Within the game, the most helpless one was the young man himself. If Yang Mingâs card was a little higher, then his loss wasnât quite so unfair. But, the small card that Yang Ming had was just enough to beat the young manâs card. It made the young man depressed to his grandmotherâs family [1].
âYou won; I lostâŠâ But the young manâs self-restraint was still good. He didnât forget the words he had said before, regardless of the outcome. He pushed the chips to Yang Ming and said, âYou are an interesting person. If you donât mind, how about making a friend? The close disciple of Gambling G.o.d, Yang Zi?â
â Hehe âŠâ Yang Ming also had a good impression of the young man. If Yang Ming didnât cheat, he might have lost the previous round. Hence, Yang Ming still felt guilty in his heart. He stood up and extended his hand, âWhat Gambling G.o.d? I just simple forged some nonsense to liven the atmosphere. My name is Yang Ming. Iâm glad to meet you.â
âHuang Rongjin from Singapore.â The young man smiled and shook Yang Mingâs hand. âIâm glad to meet you. Regardless, your gambling skills have expanded my horizon.â
Seeing the outcome was fixed, and the two still chatted with smiles, Nie Dayu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. It wasnât uncommon for two groups of people who played on the gambling table to break into a fight. Itâs so rare to have a harmonious one.
âGood luck.â Yang Ming waved his hand. âI wonder why Mr. Huang appeared here. You came here to travel?â
â Hehe , one of my good buddies is Shu Yaâs fan. He dragged me here to watch the concert. But, my music sense isnât good. I can only kill time at this Offsh.o.r.e Club alone.â Huang Rongjin threw up his hand and said.
âIt turns out to be that case, but Iâm leaving with my friends now. Iâm afraid I donât have time to talk to Mr. HuangâŠâ Yang Ming said apologetically.
âIt is alright. Here is my business card. If you have time to go to Singapore, I will do my best as the host.â Huang Rongjin politely handed his business card.
Yang Ming took the card and glanced at it. The t.i.tle on the business card was a consultant of a company. If Huang Rongjin could throw his money out just like that, this most likely was their family business. Huang Rongjin only had a name on it.
âIâm a student. I donât have a business card, but I still know some friends in Song Jiang. If Mr. Huang needs something, you can call me.â Yang Ming used his cell phone to dial Huang Rongjinâs phone number.
âAlright, sure.â Huang Rongjin saved Yang Mingâs number. There was no doubt about Yang Mingâs words. Since Yang Ming could enter the casino, it meant that Yang Ming couldnât be just a normal student. Then, it was normal that his family had some power in Song Jiang. âHowever, you donât have to call me Mr. Huang. Itâs too distant. Since youâre still in school, Iâm sure that Iâm a few years older than you. Then, I will take the seniority and call you Younger Brother Yang. You can just call me Big Brother Huang or my name, Rongjin, is also fine.â
âBig Brother Huang is too literal. I will call you Brother Huang.â Yang Ming nodded and smiled.
The reason why Huang Rongjin chatted a lot with Yang Ming was that he had a good impression of Yang Ming. Yang Ming was different from the previous Tian Donghua. Although his behavior was somewhat weird, Yang Ming didnât really make the matter of winning or losing the game as important. Huang Rongjin could still notice that Yang Mingâs unruly personality was also quite in his taste.
Huang Rongjin was also such a person, or else, he wouldnât be neglecting his family business and prefer to collect rare items.
(For the details of Huang Rongjin, read Chapter 255 Auction.)
After chatting a few words, they bid farewell. As for the chips on the table, Nie Dayu asked Yang Ming whether it would be exchanged for cash or put on a card. Yang Ming smiled and said, âThatâs all right. It originally came from President Nie. Return the proceeds to the casino.â After saying this, Yang Ming remembered that Tian Donghua had originally made this bet, so he turned back, âOld Tian, you wonât blame me for making the call, right?â
âHow would I?â Tian Donghua shook his head. Yang Ming finally won the gamble. Tian Donghua was relieved, but fortunately, his group didnât lose face, or else, he would be embarra.s.sed.
At this time, Nie Dayu couldnât help but put Yang Ming on a higher level. Although the three million on this table was nothing, for an ordinary family, it was an astronomical number. However, Yang Ming didnât care about it. As President Nie recalled Yang Mingâs calmness at the gambling table previously, Nie Dayu became more and more convinced that Yang Mingâs family was certainly outstanding!
Listening to the words Yang Ming just said to Huang Rongjin, one could understand that Yang Ming was a native of Song Jiang and had some power. As a businessman, Nie Dayu immediately wanted to see if he could get close to Yang Ming.
Although Yang Ming said no, how would Nie Dayu be so un.o.btrusive? He gave a wink to his underling, and then someone handled this matter. Not long after, a bank card was handed over to Nie Dayu.
âMr. Yang, this is what you just won. Also, this credit card is also the members.h.i.+p card of our Offsh.o.r.e Club. With this card, you can enjoy the VIP treatment.â Nie Dayu handed the bank card to Yang Ming. The same card was given to Tian Donghua, but there was no money on it.
Yang Ming saw that the other party did it politely, so he found it inappropriate not to be pleasant. He took the card and said thank you. Then, he put it into his pocket.
