Chapter 48 : An invitation to gamble.
Stall No. 56 was happy, but stall No. 18, not far away, was shrouded in gloom. Bai Shengjun sat in the boss chair with a livid face, while a smiling bald middle-aged man sat opposite him. This man was Huang Bowen, who had just won 90 million yuan from him not long ago.
Actually, Huang Bowen dared to bet heavily on Bai Shengjun not because he was optimistic that Number 56 would win, but because he had absolute confidence in the stone gambling expert invited by Number 109. Unexpectedly, a black horse appeared halfway and took the championship. Seeing that money melted into water, it would be a lie to say that he was not depressed.
"Boss Bai, there are still a few gambling games after tonight's reception. If you're interested, you might as well come over and play. You might have unexpected gains when the time comes." Huang Bowen smiled and placed a gold-plated invitation on the table.
Bai Shengjun glanced at the invitation with a dark face and said indifferently," Boss Huang, don't you think that I haven't lost enough money this time?"
Huang Bowen smiled calmly and said," Boss Bai is worth hundreds of millions of dollars. How could he care about this small sum of money? Tonight's banquet is a small program arranged by me and a few colleagues to thank you. A few small bets are just for pleasure. Of course, you can drink wine and drink tea without participating in the gambling!"
Bai Shengjun pondered for a moment. A cold and stern face flashed in his mind. His eyes lit up immediately." How do you want to bet?"
Huang Bowen saw the other party's interest and smiled." Poker, dice, Pai Gow, and guess flower. Five million is the bottom line. The maximum limit for a single game is tentatively set at 100 million. We guarantee absolute safety and fairness. We will collect 5% of the tea fee from the winner every game. The most important thing is that everyone is happy."
Bai Shengjun's lips curled up." If I don't know how to play, can I hire someone to bet on my behalf?"
Huang Bowen smiled." We can ask experts to help us in the stone gambling competition. Gambling is also possible. However, according to the rules, each invitation can only bring four people besides me to participate. We can send a special car to pick you up. There's no need to worry about safety."
Bai Shengjun smiled." Four people are enough. I don't want to be accused of bringing someone to eat for free. However, I have a small request."
Huang Bowen smiled." Boss Bai, please say it. As long as I can do it, I will definitely do it."
Bai Shengjun leaned forward and picked up the invitation on the table." The champion of this stone gambling competition must be present. Otherwise, it's meaningless for me to go without an opponent."
Huang Bowen naturally understood what this fellow was planning, but Meng Shicheng had always been lacking in interest in such gatherings. It was really not easy to persuade him. Thinking of this, he could not help but frown.
Bai Shengjun saw the other party hesitating. He smiled and said," I believe many people would like to see the glory of the stone gambling champion. When the time comes, I will definitely take out a few hundred million dollars to give it a try."
Huang Bowen smiled and said," It's rare that Boss Bai is interested. Leave this small matter to me. I'll be waiting for you at seven o'clock tonight." After saying that, he stood up and left, heading straight for stall No. 56.
To the place only to find people to file empty, Huang Bowen hurriedly dialed Meng Shicheng phone.
Meng Shicheng and the others were drinking and chatting in the small hotel at this time. The employees at the stall were also called to sit at a table. The shopkeeper was so happy that he quietly asked the kitchen to increase the weight of the dishes.
I Love Taiwanese Girls…Taiwanese Girls Love Me…Meng Shicheng's ringtone was Zhang Zhenyue's "I Love Taiwanese Girls." This guy was really high.
Huang Bowen's voice came from the other end of the line.
"Old Meng, where are you?"
Meng Shicheng told him the address of the small hotel and was about to ask him what he was looking for, but the other party had already hung up the phone.
The small hotel was not far from the venue. Five minutes later, Huang Bowen walked in with a smile on his face. His forehead was shining with Mediterranean oil.
"Old Meng! You make money and treat people to this? You're too stingy!" Huang Bowen just sat down and began to scold.
"Ha ha!" The food here is very authentic. You'll know when you taste it!" Meng Shicheng waved his hand and told the boss to add a pair of chopsticks. He reached out and put some "big rescue" into the bowl.
Huang Bowen did not stand on ceremony either. He picked it up and put it into his mouth to chew. The taste was indeed good. He could not help but take a few more bites.
"Not bad, right? Would you like some rice wine?" Meng Shicheng smiled and handed over a can of rice wine. Huang Bowen raised his neck and drank a few mouthfuls. It was sweet and smooth, much better than those in big hotels.
"Tell me, why are you in a hurry to find me?" Meng Shicheng looked at Huang Bowen with a half-smile. According to his understanding, this old fellow was definitely someone who would not come to the palace without something to do.
Huang Bowen sipped a chopstick of rice noodles and said,"Old Meng! We're hosting a party tonight and we want to invite you to participate. We've earned a lot from this stone gambling competition. We can't just fart in bed and play alone, right? What do you mean by giving back to customers? No matter who wins or loses, everyone can get together and have some fun…"
" Stop. You know I hate this kind of occasion the most. It's nothing more than a bunch of rich people drinking and gambling together. I'm not trying to discredit you. We've been friends for so many years, and you know that Meng has nothing to do with anything other than gambling on stones."
Meng Shicheng smiled and interrupted Huang Bowen.
Huang Bowen smiled and said," Old Meng, do me a favor this time. Let's go and gamble a few times. If you lose, it's mine. If you win, you can take it."
Meng Shicheng looked at Huang Bowen and frowned."Did someone ask you to call me over?" We've been friends for more than ten years. Just say what you want. Why beat around the bush?"
Huang Bowen looked embarrassed. He nodded and said," That's right. That Bai guy said that if you go, he'll bet hundreds of millions. I can earn tens of millions just by pumping water. Just give me face and go play a few rounds. It's a shame if you don't earn money or have sex!"
Meng Shicheng shook his head and was about to reject him when Tang Guobin interrupted him." Let's go. Let Qingzi bet with him. With our luck, we can kill that white thing and lose until he poops his pants…"
Huang Bowen smiled and said,"That's right. The luck of the stone gambling champion wins that Bai guy."
" As long as we go there, no one will dare to play tricks at the gambling table. Huang is still capable." Huang Bowen smiled as he looked at Tang Guobin and patted his chest.
Meng Shicheng hesitated. Xu Qing said lightly," I don't care. It's not too much to have someone give me money."
Xu Qing didn't want to cause trouble, but he wasn't afraid of it. Bai's repeated provocations made him angry. In his opinion, as long as Bai didn't cheat, it was no different from giving money.
"Ha ha!" It's shameful to not earn money or have sex every day. The three of us are men with murderous intent. Don't let others look down on us." Tang Guobin laughed loudly. He had learned Huang Bowen's classic line.
