Chou Ping carried a full tray out of the dice area and happened to run into Kailin, who was coming to find him.
"Kailin, how's your luck?" Chou Ping asked.
Kailin spread her hands, empty and disappointing. "Terrible. How about you?"
As she spoke, Kailin's gaze fell on the tray in Chou Ping's hands. She was instantly astonished, covering her mouth to stifle a gasp.
Chou Ping smirked, lifted the tray, and casually said, "I believe I've won enough money now, enough to qualify as your client."
"Don't joke, Chou. This amount of money is substantial. You can easily hire a more professional person to manage it."
"But others are not enough to gain my trust," Chou Ping replied.
Blushing, Kailin stammered, "And I am not enough to gain your trust either."
"Oh, come on. Weren't we good friends in high school?"
A lie repeated several times, even Chou Ping began to feel that it was true.
"So, Chou, what's your plan now?"
Now, Kailin hesitated to say anything that might stop Chou Ping, as it turned out he was right—luck was indeed on his side.
"Haha, I don't want to play anymore. How about grabbing a late-night snack? And, by the way, we can discuss the specific details of the financial delegation."
Kailin's eyes brightened, her hands slightly clenched. She raised her head proudly, "Chou, I won't let you down!"
"Haha, of course not. If it wasn't for you, I won't have won so much today. You bring me good luck."
The two walked side by side towards the front desk, and Kailin's steps were much lighter than before.
On the most famous street in the gambling city, filled with luxurious hotels and bustling casinos, the two sat in the casino's restaurant, where Kailin was organizing various documents.
"Chou, take a look. This is the power of attorney. If there are no issues, sign your name, and our delegation agreement will be officially effective."
Chou Ping inserted a piece of tender steak into his mouth, put down his knife and fork, casually took the pen and signed his name without reading the terms.
Seeing this, Kailin couldn't help but be amazed. "Chou, don't you want to read the terms? Aren't you afraid that there might be something unfavorable to you?"
"Haha, because all money is won via you. So, even if you want it, I'll give it all to you." Chou Ping waved his hand, showing a nonchalant expression.
In fact, Chou Ping didn't care about gains or losses. He was the least afraid of being deceived.
After all, everything would reset after tomorrow, and he wouldn't have any losses.
Kailin felt speechless. Chou Ping's actions were completely different from the image she had of the meticulous and careful people in China.
However, Chou Ping repeatedly mentioned his trust in her, which touched Kailin.
"Chou, since you trust me, I will definitely live up to that trust. I think it's necessary to tell you about my investment plan for this money." Kailin said solemnly.
Chou Ping raised his glass as a gesture and said, "Old classmate, I want to propose a toast before that, what do you think?"
Blushing, Kailin raised her glass...
"Because this is my first investment, I chose a relatively conservative investment plan. Most of them are in stable and traditional industries, with an expected annual interest rate between six to eight percent. The actual situation may vary, but I can guarantee you at least a five percent return each year..."
Kailin explained a bunch of professional terms, although she tried to make it sound more accessible, Chou Ping still listened with a half-understanding.
And Chou Ping didn't intend to listen seriously because, from the beginning, he didn't expect this investment to yield returns.
After all, they had just signed the agreement today, and by the time of the reset, the money might not even be invested yet.
On the other hand, his investment was about to pay off from another perspective.
When they first met at the bar, Kailin's high looks and temperament attracted Chou Ping's attention.
So, after several restarts, Chou Ping would always find Kailin, strike up a conversation, and eventually fabricate a story about Kailin being a good friend from high school, just to have a legitimate reason to get intimate with her.
Seeing that Chou Ping was really not interested, Kailin stopped talking about it and began discussing other topics with him.
Of course, whenever they talked about high school days, most of the time it was Kailin talking, and Chou Ping listening.
Occasionally, when it was Chou Ping's turn to speak, he would just chuckle and say something ambiguous to get through it.
"Chou, I'm so happy to meet you today. If it weren't for you, in two days, I would have given up my beloved career and gone to Chicago to do a stable job that I don't like."
After a few drinks, Kailin was already a bit tipsy, and she began to speak more.
"If it weren't for you, maybe after I went to Chicago, I would just repeat the monotonous work every day and eventually marry a man..."
At this point, Kailin's eyes sparkled with a strange light as she looked at Chou Ping.
"But meeting you, even though you won so much money, I know you took a great risk. You are willing to do all this for me, and I understand your feelings..."
"Hey, Kailin, are you drunk?" Chou Ping kindly reminded her.
"No, I'm not drunk! On this day, you brought me inspiration and hope. Your actions and your character made me feel moved."
Kailin raised her glass and emptied it. "Chou, can you take me to the hotel to rest?"
...
In the hotel room, the passionate Kailin, upon entering, embraced Chou Ping and gave him a passionate kiss.
After a while, the two figures, completely bare, rolled onto the soft and comfortable big bed.
At this moment, Chou Ping also abandoned his previous gentlemanly demeanor. Like a warrior on the battlefield, he was wild, galloping and wielding his sword. The room was filled with a strong hormone scent.
After three rounds, it was already two or three in the morning, and the two hugged each other and fell into a deep sleep.
The sleeping Chou Ping was awakened by the repeated ringing of the phone. He instinctively reached out to the side but found no one.
Opening his sleepy eyes, Chou Ping realized that Kailin, who had been nestled next to him, had disappeared, leaving only a faint fragrance behind.
Could it be that Kailin, tempted by wealth, took her money and left?
Chou Ping shook his head, not thinking too much about it. If she left, just let her leave. Everything would reset anyway.
He picked up the phone and saw that it was already ten in the morning. The only person who would call so punctually was Mike.
"Hello, Chou, wishing you a happy Weekend!"
"Hey, Mike, I think I'm going to have a very happy weekend."
"By the way, are you alone over there? Shit, why did I ask such a stupid question? You, a single dog, of course, are alone. Young man, get ready to release your restless energy!"
Before the time reset, Mike had arranged to have lunch with Chou Ping today and even said he would introduce a beautiful girl to him.
After the reset, although Chou Ping was not depressed due to losing money, almost every weekend, the Chou Ping, who transformed into a life winner, was applauding for love, so he still broke his appointment.
