Chapter 779: Valentine’s Day (D)
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
When the cards were shuffled, although the dealer had already taken out the substitute card and the Joker, this deck might have had two substitute cards due to sloppy workers!
Yang Ming saw this substitute card as his unsuspected rescue from a desperate situation, so he didn’t hesitate to take it out.
Regarding the use of the substitute card, this card could represent any card. If the young man had the Ace of Spades, then Yang Ming’s 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.
“President Nie, who do you think won this game?” Yang Ming asked President Nie who almost had his jaw drop.
“This…” President Nie also started to be troubled. How could the win or loss be decided? Yang Ming’s substitute card shouldn’t 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. “What is going on here?”
The dealer was also troubled. “President Nie, I have already removed the extra three cards. Who knew that there was another substitute card in this deck?”
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 wasn’t the dealer’s fault. He could only blame the factory workers for being careless.
Song Jiang didn’t 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 wasn’t the others’ fault.
” Hehe .” Seeing Nie Dayu troubled, Yang Ming said with an indifferent smile, “This isn’t the dealer’s fault, but the carelessness of the workers of the card factory. Let us void this round. We’ll play for another round.”
The young person on the other side was also helpless. His original win was actually in such a strange situation that hadn’t occurred in ages. But, he had no way to go about it. Now, he couldn’t say that he won because the opponent had the substitute 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, “Fine. Then let us go for another round. I hope that this won’t happen again…”
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.
“How about you first…?” Yang Ming made a polite gesture. He didn’t believe that one’s 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 God…
Sure enough, the young man’s 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 – 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 wasn’t as eager to open his card. He didn’t look after the cards were drawn. He just slapped it on the table. Most probably the young man was too proud, yet he didn’t 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.
” Ah –” The audience was suddenly lost. Yang Ming’s 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 weren’t an accident like the last round.
However, the accident in that kind of situation won’t 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 man’s 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 Ming’s was low, but it was only one higher than the card in his hand!
“Don’t be too surprised. I have already said that my true identity is actually a close disciple of the Gambling God!” Yang Ming said arrogantly.
Everyone naturally didn’t 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 Ming’s card was a little higher, then his loss wasn’t quite so unfair. But, the small card that Yang Ming had was just enough to beat the young man’s card. It made the young man depressed to his grandmother’s family [1].
“You won; I lost…” But the young man’s self-restraint was still good. He didn’t forget the words he had said before, regardless of the outcome. He pushed the chips to Yang Ming and said, “You are an interesting person. If you don’t mind, how about making a friend? The close disciple of Gambling God, Yang Zi?”
” Hehe …” Yang Ming also had a good impression of the young man. If Yang Ming didn’t cheat, he might have lost the previous round. Hence, Yang Ming still felt guilty in his heart. He stood up and extended his hand, “What Gambling God? I just simple forged some nonsense to liven the atmosphere. My name is Yang Ming. I’m glad to meet you.”
“Huang Rongjin from Singapore.” The young man smiled and shook Yang Ming’s hand. “I’m glad to meet you. Regardless, your gambling skills have expanded my horizon.”
Seeing the outcome was fixed, and the two still chatted with smiles, Nie Dayu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn’t uncommon for two groups of people who played on the gambling table to break into a fight. It’s so rare to have a harmonious one.
“Good luck.” Yang Ming waved his hand. “I wonder why Mr. Huang appeared here. You came here to travel?”
” Hehe , one of my good buddies is Shu Ya’s fan. He dragged me here to watch the concert. But, my music sense isn’t good. I can only kill time at this Offshore Club alone.” Huang Rongjin threw up his hand and said.
“It turns out to be that case, but I’m leaving with my friends now. I’m afraid I don’t have time to talk to Mr. Huang…” Yang Ming said apologetically.
“It is alright. Here is my business card. If you have time to go to Singapore, I will do my best as the host.” Huang Rongjin politely handed his business card.
Yang Ming took the card and glanced at it. The title 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.
“I’m a student. I don’t have a business card, but I still know some friends in Song Jiang. If Mr. Huang needs something, you can call me.” Yang Ming used his cell phone to dial Huang Rongjin’s phone number.
“Alright, sure.” Huang Rongjin saved Yang Ming’s number. There was no doubt about Yang Ming’s words. Since Yang Ming could enter the casino, it meant that Yang Ming couldn’t be just a normal student. Then, it was normal that his family had some power in Song Jiang. “However, you don’t have to call me Mr. Huang. It’s too distant. Since you’re still in school, I’m sure that I’m 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.”
“Big Brother Huang is too literal. I will call you Brother Huang.” 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 didn’t really make the matter of winning or losing the game as important. Huang Rongjin could still notice that Yang Ming’s unruly personality was also quite in his taste.
Huang Rongjin was also such a person, or else, he wouldn’t 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, “That’s all right. It originally came from President Nie. Return the proceeds to the casino.” After saying this, Yang Ming remembered that Tian Donghua had originally made this bet, so he turned back, “Old Tian, you won’t blame me for making the call, right?”
“How would I?” Tian Donghua shook his head. Yang Ming finally won the gamble. Tian Donghua was relieved, but fortunately, his group didn’t lose face, or else, he would be embarrassed.
At this time, Nie Dayu couldn’t 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 didn’t care about it. As President Nie recalled Yang Ming’s calmness at the gambling table previously, Nie Dayu became more and more convinced that Yang Ming’s 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 unobtrusive? 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.
“Mr. Yang, this is what you just won. Also, this credit card is also the membership card of our Offshore Club. With this card, you can enjoy the VIP treatment.” 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.
