Tang Wei's cooking skills are very exquisite. She quickly prepared a sumptuous dinner. Li Xiaoning had not had a serious meal in the past two days. Now he was faced with a table full of delicious meals that were full of color, fragrance and flavor. Suddenly Eat happily.
Looking at Li Xiaoning's waving chopsticks, Tang Wei smiled with satisfaction. At this moment, she felt that this place could truly be regarded as a home, with the warmth and tranquility of home. Perhaps after satisfying her physical needs, Tang Wei What Wei needs more now is spiritual satisfaction. She needs new things to fill the emptiness in her soul.
In the past, Tang Wei was worried about her past and the age gap between the two. She didn't want to put too much burden on Li Xiaoning. That's why she took the initiative to let Li Xiaoning find a new girlfriend. But love is selfish. Now Tang Wei just wanted to hold the man in front of her tightly in her arms and give it to no one.
After eating, Li Xiaoning followed Tang Wei into her red BMW Z4. The sports car slid out of the community quickly and headed towards the suburbs.
In the car, Tang Wei told Li Xiaoning the destination of their trip. "I also like to play Texas Hold'em poker. In Yanjing, we have a circle. It starts at seven o'clock every Friday night. Today happens to be Friday. Of course. Our card game is not legal. Therefore, if you want to enter, you must be introduced by an acquaintance..."
Li Xiaoning moved her lips and then said: "Sister Wei, I don't want to play cards anymore."
"It's not that you don't want to play cards anymore. You just lost confidence in yourself." Tang Wei said softly. "But I have confidence in you. I also hope that you can regain your confidence. Don't worry. Everyone in our circle has They are acquaintances, and they are all people with status. We will not join forces to cheat or exchange cards..."
"But..." Li Xiaoning said hesitantly. "You... I didn't..."
"You don't have to worry about money." Tang Wei said as if she had read Li Xiaoning's mind.
"I don't want to use your money." Li Xiaoning's face showed a bit of stubbornness.
"I'm not giving you money. I'm lending you money to join the game." Tang Wei quickly answered. "I'm investing. I believe you won't let me down."
"How much blind do you play?" Li Xiaoning stopped refusing. In his heart, he had always hoped to have another chance to prove himself at the poker table. He fell down at the poker table. Naturally, he should be at the poker table again. Stand up.
"Although people in this circle are not short of money, we still mainly play together. It is not gambling. So the lottery is not very big." Tang Wei said with a smile.
"How much is that? Ten yuan. Twenty yuan." Li Xiaoning was talking about the minimum blind setting of a regular casino.
"Of course it's not that little." Tang Wei said with a smile. "We usually start with a blind bet of 50/100. Then the number of blind bets increases every ten minutes."
Li Xiaoning's heart suddenly tightened. Although the blind bet of 50/100 is not big, it cannot bear the increase every 10 minutes. In this case, the blind bet will become a huge number after an hour. Such a bet can easily be a few dollars. One hundred thousand won or lost.
The car stopped outside a private club. The two got out of the car. Li Xiaoning followed Tang Wei and walked in.
A waiter wearing blue and white porcelain came up to him. Tang Wei smiled slightly and said, "I'm here to see Mr. Pan."
"Wait a moment." The waiter bowed and then withdrew. After a while, a man who looked like a housekeeper came over. He smiled at Tang Wei and said, "Miss Anna is here. Mr. Pan is inside. Waiting for you. This is..."
Tang Wei smiled and said, "I forgot to introduce you. This is my younger brother."
The housekeeper looked Li Xiaoning up and down. Then he said politely: "Please come with me."
"Who is Mr. Pan?" Li Xiaoning asked quietly. "My sister's English name is Anna."
Tang Wei smiled softly and said: "This is just a code. This week it is Mr. Pan. Next week it may be Mr. Wang. Likewise, Anna is just my name here. There is no way. Our game is not legal after all. You have to be careful. Not only the police, but also the professional crooks."
The three of them came to a door with an "Employee Access" sign. The housekeeper opened the door. Tang Wei walked in. Li Xiaoning followed suit. They turned around a long corridor with seven turns and eight turns. Then they walked Entering another hall... There was an oval card table in the hall. Seven people were already seated, six men and one woman. There were still two empty seats.
Looking at the seven people on the card table, Li Xiaoning was involuntarily surprised because he recognized four of them. Three of these four people were people who often appeared in magazines, and their net worth was also the same. In units of 100 million yuan. The other one is also the only woman among the seven, but she often appears on TV. She is a nationally renowned host. There is no doubt that this is a high-end poker game. Tang Wei Being able to enter this poker game, it seems that her influence in Yanjing cannot be underestimated.
"Weiwei, you're late." A man in his forties, not tall but very energetic, said to Tang Wei. There was a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone. Li Xiaoning recognized him as a large-scale real estate developer in Yanjing. The boss of a company with a net worth of billions.
"I'm sorry. There's a traffic jam on the road. You know the traffic in Yanjing. Mr. Wang, aren't you in a traffic jam?" Tang Wei explained with a smile. Listening to Tang Wei's calm explanation, Li Xiaoning couldn't help but want to laugh. She can really talk and lie. She didn't blush at all. It's true that Yanjing is often stuck in traffic jams. But today they came very smoothly. The reason why they came late was simply because the two of them spent too much time in bed.
"Is this your brother or your boyfriend?" Another middle-aged man asked with a smile. Li Xiaoning didn't know this man, but he felt a sense of energy from him that came from being in a high position for a long time. He had a sense of majesty. He estimated that this person, like himself, came from the officialdom.
"Look, Mr. Liu, what you said is of course his younger brother." Tang Wei said with a smile. "His name is Li Xiaoning. Please take good care of him in the future."
"Weiwei. This is wrong." The female host said with a smile. "Your surname is Tang. His surname is Li. How can he be your brother?"
"Quiet, it's just you, Sanba." Tang Wei also laughed and cursed.
"I am originally a 38-year-old." Jingjing said with a playful smile. It was completely different from the side she usually showed to the public.
Everyone had fun for a while. Li Xiaoning and Tang Wei also sat down in their respective seats. Li Xiaoning sat on the lower hand of the real estate boss Mr. Wang, and Tang Wei sat on his upper hand. The two people's positions had already been placed. Stack the chips. One hundred thousand yuan each.
The next step was to determine the dealer's position. She quietly acted as the dealer. She dealt the cards in her hand one by one. When it was dealt to Mr. Wang, it was an Ace of Hearts.
"Hey, I just said that I'm very lucky today." Mr. Liu proudly pointed at the aces of hearts and said.
"Yes. Yes. By the time it's your turn to place the blind bet, the price will have already increased." The handsome man sitting opposite him, who looked to be only in his thirties, said. Li Xiaoning also recognized it. His identity is a domestic first-line star. His surname is Li.
"No. He had no chance to place a blind bet because he was already out before that." Jingjing said with a smile. Her words caused everyone to laugh. Even Mr. Wang himself laughed.
He quietly collected the cards and shuffled them several times. Then he handed the round red plastic block with the word D written on it to Mr. Wang.
Li Xiaoning's next player placed a big blind bet of 100. Li Xiaoning also placed a small blind bet of 50. The next step was to deal the cards.
In the first hand of cards, Li Xiaoning had very bad luck. He got the smallest hole cards 2 and 3. He sighed and slowly threw away the cards in his hand.
"Young handsome boy, you gave up before the bidding started." Jingjing asked with a smile. "You played very conservatively. You didn't even ask for the small blind."
Li Xiaoning smiled slightly and said nothing. He got the smallest hole card. If he still couldn't bear the small blind bet of 50 yuan, then his brain was really broken.
It can be seen that Jingjing is the kind of player who plays more unrestrainedly. In the first round of bidding, he raised the bet to 1,000. She, Mr. Wang and the big star named Li were the only ones left on the table.
Jingjing then dealt out three more cards. Spades 9. Spades Q. Spades 6.
"2000." Jingjing called out casually.
The big star named Li chose to fold. It was Mr. Wang's turn... Mr. Wang hesitated for a moment, but he still chose to follow the bet.
Jingjing was dealt another card...3 of spades."
Both Jingjing and Mr. Wang stared at each other closely, trying to judge each other's trump card from every expression and movement.
Tang Wei just got up to get a drink for Li Xiaoning. When she came to see this situation, she whispered in Li Xiaoning's ear: "They must have all spent the same flower. But whose flower is bigger? I guess it is Mr. Wang. He at least has a K or A..."
Li Xiaoning nodded and said: "Yes. Mr. Wang should have a K or an A. So what can Jingjing be."
"Although Jingjing looks quiet, she is the most aggressive poker player in our circle. He may have any card in his hand." Tang Wei smiled softly and said. "If you can guess her trump card, .Then no one at this table will be your opponent."
After thinking about it for nearly half a minute, Jingjing gently knocked on the table and chose to give up.
Mr. Wang laughed. He picked up ten thousand chips and threw them into the pot. He said confidently: "Ten thousand."
Jingjing fell into the long exam again. She kept looking at Mr. Wang's face. Mr. Wang kept his confident smile and looked at Jingjing...
Just when everyone thought Jingjing would give up, Jingjing chose to follow the bet. No one expected that the first game would be so intense. Because for everyone's 100,000-chip gambling game, the current pot is already very large. Big. Whoever wins this round will have a huge chip advantage in the following rounds.
Quietly, the last card was dealt out. It turned out to be another spade...8 of spades.
