Chapter 357 How did you know?
Boss Han's brother-in-law is none other than the famous Director Guo.
As a result, Boss Han's net worth skyrocketed.
This is called the economy of personal connections.
If someone wants to open a foot massage parlor, KTV, bathhouse, or even a more upscale sauna, or even just a larger hotel, it will be very difficult to get it going if they can't coordinate well with the local police station.
Investing in entertainment and leisure venues, or other places that are prone to safety issues, inevitably involves the system overseen by Director Guo.
Some young people don't understand social rules and think that as long as they have money, know a little about the market, and know the basic tricks of doing business, they can open a shop, do business, and make a fortune.
The results of it?
The investment failed as soon as it was made.
Some people only appear after he has invested and poured a lot of money into it.
They'll come to check on you in no time.
Sensible people will always give prior notice.
However, Guo Ting's subordinates do not easily contact people from outside the community, much less make deals with them.
And so... Boss Han came into being.
As Director Guo's brother-in-law, Boss Han didn't even have to do anything.
All they need to do is relay messages.
The so-called "getting things sorted out" or "settling things down".
They just exchanged greetings.
He can then make a fortune.
Old Han is quite knowledgeable; he has met countless elites within the system and in society.
At a glance, it's clear this woman is extraordinary—she likely has a respectable job, a stable income, and some power.
"sure.
Please have a seat!
When Li Taoying asked for a drink, Boss Han patted the sofa next to him and readily agreed.
Li Taoying tilted her head slightly, shrugged gently, and accepted the gesture with a look of ease. Her entire body and subtle movements exuded sophistication and a touch of cosmopolitan flair befitting Guangzhou.
It's completely different from when we were in Yuanshan County.
The perfume has a herbal scent that makes people feel refreshed.
Upon smelling the rare fragrance emanating from the other person, Boss Han couldn't help but take a few more glances at him.
This person may not be considered very beautiful, but she is definitely not ugly. Among the beauties in the glamorous nightclubs, her appearance and figure are the least outstanding, but her temperament is definitely the most dazzling.
"Do we know each other?"
Old Han became cautious and poured her a glass of foreign liquor.
Li Taoying generously picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and put it down.
"No need to panic."
Look, I even dare to drink your wine.
"What can I, a weak woman, do to you on your turf?"
Old Han chuckled and agreed.
This nightclub is actually owned by Boss Han; he comes here occasionally to relax when he's feeling down.
Business receptions and negotiations are usually held here.
What interested Boss Han was that the other party was able to see through his caution and nervousness at a glance.
Boss Han's lecherous eyes roamed over Li Taoying's large, round breasts.
"What do I have to be afraid of?"
"Hehehe~ Yes!"
Li Taoying covered her mouth and laughed, took out a thin cigarette, lit it, and then offered the cigarette to the other person, but the other person did not take it.
He smoked for about ten seconds, then remained silent.
Li Taoying blinked, as if recalling something from the past, and softly called out.
That was in April.
You may have forgotten.
If I remember correctly, it was April 13th.
You were at the Pudong Entertainment City in Macau at the time.
Sitting in the high-stakes betting area.
They were playing a game called "Three Treasures of Fortune" (a card game), with a minimum bet of 1000 per table.
Is it right?"
Old Han narrowed his eyes slightly, recalling for a moment.
It has indeed been several months since my last trip to Macau.
How did she know?
Few people know that I went to Macau.
Old Han is playing a very big game.
It's taboo to let people know.
Don't underestimate this minimum bet of 1000 yuan.
In a standard hand, without adding betting options like "pairs or more" or "six cards," a single bet is 1,000. If you choose not to fold and instead reveal your hand, the bet is 1,000.
It takes at most a minute or so.
A single hour can easily generate a turnover of 70,000 to 80,000.
And this is the starting bet.
When Lao Han plays, he can easily bet three to five thousand, and when he's in the zone, he can bet tens of thousands in a single game.
As for betting on big or small with dice, those with even higher upper limits often involve betting tens of thousands in a single round.
Needless to say, Baccarat can be bet hundreds of thousands or even millions of yuan in a single hand; Old Han has bet on it too.
When you win, you're incredibly powerful and imposing;
When I lost, I was in a very embarrassing situation.
Macau is a place that values money over people—or rather, someone like Lao Han is nobody in Macau.
Regardless of winning or losing, this Mr. Han didn't want too many people to know that he often went to Macau to gamble.
How did you know?
"Don't be nervous, I won't say anything nonsense," Li Taoying said earnestly. "I was right next to you at the time... I remember, you got a flush and made a comeback!"
"Oh?"
This is indeed true.
Old Han will never forget this incident.
"Really? I don't quite remember, it's been too long."
He didn't want to admit it.
As for whether Li Taoying was standing next to him at the time, he really didn't remember. People who are at the gambling table are focused on the cards.
Even if a stunningly beautiful woman were standing next to him, he wouldn't be very interested.
Li Taoying chuckled. Before coming, she had already thoroughly investigated Lao Han's background.
"Then let me help you remember."
I watched you play for about half an hour.
I remember you originally had over 20 chips.
I started betting two thousand at a time, but the dealer beat me three times in a row.
You then start betting in increments of ten thousand.
The more you bet, the more you get killed.
Suddenly, over 200,000 chips were reduced to only 30,000.
Li Taoying pretended to be recalling something, and sighed regretfully at this point, then added, "You bet all three of those ten thousand chips at once."
Ready to go all in.
Place 10,000 bets, put 10,000 on "pairs or higher", and keep 10,000 for the reveal.
Everyone around you is watching what you're doing.
The dealer yawns as he deals you the cards.
You didn't look at your own cards.
He placed his last 10,000 chips on the raise, and the result was a complete fluke.
Upon hearing this, recalling the scene at the time, Lao Han also became excited; that hand of cards was indeed a classic.
Many people gamble their whole lives and never get the chance to play this hand.
Li Taoying also got excited: "You've put all your chips down."
The people watching you play cards are on tenterhooks.
This is the final battle.
The dealer casually flipped over the cards in front of him.
She has a straight flush of 9, 10, and J of spades.
The crowd booed loudly.
Everyone thought you were finished.
A hint of disdain flashed in the old female dealer's eyes. "You're the only one playing at the table, and she seems eager to clear your name so she can take a break..."
Old Han gripped his pants tightly, his eyes blazing with fury, the image of that female croupier flashing before his eyes once more…
