Volume 2 High School - The Years of White Clothes Chapter 19
The atmosphere is extremely tense...
In the fourth game, Cheng Qi left first.
First card, plum blossom nine. Second card, black peach eight. Cheng's heart is filled with anxiety, it's already 17 points, if he draws again, there's a high chance of bursting, but if he doesn't draw, the score is a bit too low.
Ai Zi Qing savored the orange juice served by the waiter, admiring the hesitant expression on Cheng Li Jun's face. She knew that the next card was the seven of hearts.
Cheng Li saw her playful expression, and his heart was filled with hatred, he had always been the one to tease others, but he had never met a woman like this before! The 50 million bet didn't seem to faze her at all, just based on this alone, he had to admire her. Now, he was curious about this abnormal woman! Yes, he thought she was very abnormal.
Collecting his thoughts, he nodded slightly to indicate to the dealer to continue dealing the cards. When he saw the red seven of hearts in his hand, his heart sank instantly, and he quietly knocked on the table.
Who would have thought that Ai Zi Qing suddenly put down her juice and stared at Cheng Li, raising an eyebrow to ask "How about we change the betting method for this round?"
"What?" Cheng Li narrowed his eyes and asked her, after a brief contact, he had already roughly determined that this woman was extremely dangerous!
"I bet you this round of cards has already exploded. If I lose, the 50 million will be yours and we can stop here." Ai Zi Qing said with a smile.
"What do you want?" Cheng Li's heart sank.
"If I win this round, as long as you don't interfere with this matter again and the next gamble continues, you still have a chance to turn the tables!" Ai Zi Qing offered generous terms.
Although these words were ambiguous, several people present felt a sudden jolt in their hearts - how did she know?
Not bad, this time the intention of Cheng Li's move is precisely to force Xu Jian and others to owe a large amount of debt, and then have a negative impact on Xu Yandong to some extent.
Su He and others had previously refused Liang Qing because they thought he was either a thief or a swindler, but unexpectedly Ai Zi Qing accepted him. They couldn't help feeling that she was being reckless. However, it turned out that she had already seen through Liang Qing's scheme and came prepared.
"Alright, you win!" Cheng Li spread out his cards and burst into loud laughter, staring at Ai Zi Qing with piercing eyes that shone with an unusual light. "I'll keep my promise, and we don't need to gamble anymore. From now on, Lettie is yours!" He said, pushing the property deeds over, then stood up and walked away.
Ai Zi Qing smiled and accepted it with a smile, from then on, the top club in Yang City - Lettie... changed hands.
Because of the monthly exam the next day, Ai Zi Qing bid farewell to Xu Jian and others and went home, and then launched a fierce attack on last month's knowledge. After roughly grasping the key points, the whole family had dinner together.
Ai Guohua ate while smacking his lips "What's going on with this Qiantian company? The salary is so high, and the work is too easy every day. They even assigned me a male secretary, I don't need to do anything, it feels like something is off, are they not going to pay us and run away?"
"What's the point of running away? What did you lose? Did you suffer a loss?" Jiang Qian gave him a white eye, got up and ladled soup. "It's pretty good now, I just stay at home every day to wash clothes, cook, and wait for you two to get off work and school, it's just a bit uncomfortable at first."
The next morning, Ai Zi Qing had just walked to the school gate when she saw Xu Qian get out of a black Audi car. Her face was pale and looked like she hadn't slept well. From the window, a middle-aged man could also be seen sitting in the driver's seat, his face also showing unmistakable fatigue.
The man was naturally Xu Qian's father, Xu Wei. These days, the 80 industries under his banner were forced to shut down, causing huge losses for the entire group. What was even more hateful was that every time the harassers would retreat neatly before the police arrived, and he could basically confirm that there must be their people inside the police department leaking information! Looking at the company's operations being blocked, funds being frozen, wasting human resources and materials all day without getting any returns, and the entire family business was about to be dragged down like this, Xu Wei was anxious and his hair turned white. His wife, Lü Li, was also running around every day, negotiating with various cooperative merchants and customers, and the atmosphere in the Xu family was extremely tense.
Xu Wei, in desperation, asked someone to contact the Qingtian Security Company, hoping they would step forward to help resolve the issue. However, no matter how much money was offered, he was ultimately rejected. This made him somewhat fearful because people in the circle knew that the Qingtian company had the backing of the largest underworld organization in Yang City, the Qing Society. The fact that even they refused to intervene implied something: either the mastermind behind this incident was more powerful than Qingtian, or they had already made arrangements with Qingtian, rendering them unable to mediate. Thinking about this, Xu Wei broke out in a cold sweat; if his large conglomerate was so vulnerable, what would happen?
It's not that Xu Wei is not capable of withstanding a blow, the main reason is that he simply doesn't know who his opponent is and can't make a timely counterattack.
Xu Qian also felt the change in her family, seeing her previously spirited parents being gloomy all day, constantly answering phone calls, and occasionally yelling and throwing tantrums, she was finally scared.
Her father, who had always been affectionate towards her on ordinary days, now seemed to have changed into a different person. Her mother didn't even have time to take care of her, and the gloomy atmosphere seemed to envelop the entire Xu family.
