Liu Qifeng's classmates finally came. Because it was a personal friendship, Liu Qifeng did not let the officials of the municipal party committee and city government receive him. He just brought the Organization Minister Hou Weijun and Li Xiaoning to accompany him.
Everyone was very happy to meet. Liu Qifeng and Hou Weijun were happy because they could treat the three leaders from Beijing as landlords, so that they could advance to a higher level in their career in the future. Because Liu Qifeng and these three
Classmates, two are department-level cadres, and the old squad leader is a deputy minister.
The old squad leader and the others are also very happy, because although they all hold important positions, they are in the capital. Where is that place? At the foot of the imperial city, ministers are everywhere, and the director is not as good as a dog. This is a very true portrayal.
, they are also tired. They have to put on airs when facing the local officials who come to do things below, but most of the time they still have to pretend to be grandsons. It is different now. They are classmates with Liu Qifeng. Although we are still in the same officialdom, after all
It's much easier, at least you don't need to wear a mask on your face anymore.
The gathering place was chosen by Hou Weijun, the "Blue Sea and Blue Sky" leisure club. This place has everything to eat, drink and have fun. The most important thing is that it is only open to members and is absolutely safe. Hou Weijun is naturally a member of this place, and he is also a high-V person.
kind.
When the boss heard that Liu Qifeng, the top leader of the municipal party committee, was coming, he immediately arranged them in the presidential private room without a second thought. The presidential private room was said to cost 88,888 yuan per night.
And there is no discount. Of course, there will be no discount tonight, but a free order.
Li Xiaoning didn't go up at first. He had to explain some things to the owner of the club, and was also responsible for checking the dishes. Naturally, such small things could not be done by the leader.
It was around meal time that Li Xiaoning arrived at the presidential private room. As soon as he entered the door, he was shocked by the luxury. The room was more than 300 square meters and was covered with thick, soft Turkish carpets. On the right side of the door was a
On the left side of the small bar is a long leather sofa, with a large jacuzzi in the middle. On the opposite wall is a large plasma screen, which is connected to the performance hall and broadcasts live performances there.
On the side near the window, there are two single rooms. The one on the left is a chess and card room with a card table and six leather high-back chairs. The one on the right is like a small reception room, with a leather table
Double sofa, equipped with high-end coffee table and tea set.
As soon as Li Xiaoning entered the door, he heard the sound of chips. Liu Qifeng was smiling and said: "Hello, sister-in-law, I am Xiao Liu. Why didn't you come to play with the old squad leader? Ah? Oh, I'm not in good health, then
I'll go to the capital to see you another day. Yes, I'm playing cards with my old squad leader. He's just a hobby. Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on him for you." Then there was another exaggerated sound of chips.
.
It turned out that the wife of the old squad leader called from the capital to check on the post, and Liu Qifeng was covering up for the old squad leader. Li Xiaoning stopped when he saw this.
The old squad leader took the phone handed over by Liu Qifeng, pressed it on Liu Qifeng's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Continue!"
It turned out that they were indeed playing cards. Li Xiaoning had heard of this kind of high-level card game before, but had never really seen it. The most famous game of this kind was the bridge game played by the second-generation supreme leader of the Huaxia Kingdom.
Don't think that they are playing cards just because they are classmates. Everyone is in a high position and has everything to do. Where can we have so much free time to play cards? If you can enter such a card game, it means you have entered.
With the core team, of course everyone who enters this poker game is not short of money.
To be honest, Li Xiaoning really hopes to have the opportunity to participate in this card game. He believes that with his own skills, he can easily kill everyone present. Of course, his purpose is not to win money, but to
Let them owe him a favor. However, he also knows very well that this card game is not something you can enter just because you want to.
Li Xiaoning knocked on the door gently. Liu Qifeng looked up and said casually: "Xiao Li is here, is dinner ready?"
"Yes! Secretary Liu!" Li Xiaoning said pretending to be nonchalant, but actually he was very nervous and anxious. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I want to participate in this game, but I can't show any deliberateness.
"Tell them not to start first, we have to wait for a while before we finish!" Liu Qifeng continued to say casually, not knowing whether he already regarded Li Xiaoning as one of his own, or whether he did not regard him as an object of concern at all.
"Young man, did he pay you overtime?" the old squad leader sitting opposite Liu Qifeng joked with a smile.
Li Xiaoning smiled slightly and said: "Knowledge is the greatest wealth. You can learn a lot by following Secretary Liu!"
"Young man! You don't mean what you say? It's the weekend, you are so young, there should be more things you are willing to do! Is the little brother feeling uncomfortable?" The old squad leader joked unscrupulously.
"Hahaha...!" Everyone at the card table laughed.
Li Xiaoning also laughed silently.
"Old squad leader, please stop laughing at this kid. He is still young and he is a virgin at first sight!" Director Zhao, who was sitting next to the old squad leader with slightly bald hair, said.
"You all should stop talking arrogantly, it's your turn to place your bets, old squad leader!" said another Director Tang.
"I'll follow!" The old squad leader threw down a few chips without hesitation.
Li Xiaoning looked at the cards on the table and found that they were playing "stud", which is often played in Hong Kong and Taiwan gambling movies. It was very similar to Texas Hold'em, which he was best at. After browsing for a while, he could already see the trend of the card game clearly.
It is unimaginable that such a group of powerful people, all of whom are smart, play cards like shit.
Originally, Li Xiaoning had finished being teased and it was time to leave, but he knew that he must not miss this good opportunity. He stood behind Liu Qifeng and could see the cards in his hand. After discovering that he was planning to fold, he suddenly stepped forward.
In one step, he grabbed a few chips and threw them on the table, saying: "Secretary Liu raises the stakes!"
Everyone stopped and looked at Li Xiaoning. The relaxed expression on his face disappeared, replaced by a different kind of complexity.
Liu Qifeng did not expect that Li Xiaoning would do this. He looked back at Li Xiaoning and found that he was not panicked. He originally wanted to reprimand him, but instead whispered: "Is it better to give up on this card?"
Li Xiaoning shook his head slightly and said, "Secretary Liu, you will definitely win!"
"Okay! I'll follow!" Hou Weijun threw the chips into the pool.
Li Xiaoning actually didn't know whether his move would completely ruin his just-started career, but he couldn't control himself. Maybe even though he wasn't good at gambling, he still had a gambling spirit in his heart.
"I'll follow!" "I'll follow too." The other three people also chose to follow.
After another round of cards, it was Liu Qifeng's turn to call.
"What's the biggest bet?" Li Xiaoning asked easily.
"There is no upper limit!" Director Tang lit a cigarette and said with a hint of contempt in his tone.
"Really?" Li Xiaoning smiled slightly and pushed all the chips in front of Liu Qifeng into the pool with a clatter, "All in!"
"Boy! Do you know how to play? There is still a round of cards that have not been dealt out, why the hell do you bet with us?" Director Tang was offended by Li Xiaoning's actions.
"Qifeng, why don't you say anything? Are you crazy? This guy is betting your money!" Director Tang said to Liu Qifeng again.
"Secretary Liu is not crazy, and I am not crazy either. Because we know the cards we have, and we also know the cards you have!" Li Xiaoning said calmly.
"Hahaha...!" Everyone laughed again, but this time Liu Qifeng did not laugh.
"Young man, don't brag. You don't have clairvoyant eyes. How could you possibly know the cards we hold?" The old squad leader also felt that Li Xiaoning was a bit arrogant.
Li Xiaoning smiled slightly, cleared his throat and said: "Mr. Zhou, you are waiting for the third 3, but you forgot that when the cards were dealt just now, one was already covered. Now you are pretending that you got it, but in fact you didn't.
.”
After listening to Li Xiaoning's words, the old squad leader was not sure whether it was OK or not, but he scratched his chin unconsciously.
"Director Zhao got two pairs, but he also knew that it was not good enough!" Li Xiaoning continued to talk, "Director Tang wanted to make a flush of diamonds, but he didn't succeed!"
At this point, Li Xiaoning turned his attention to Hou Weijun and said with a smile: "It is unrealistic for Minister Hou to win money with his pair of queens!"
When Li Xiaoning said this, everyone had already started to show each other the cards in their hands, with incomprehensible smiles on their faces. It was obvious that Li Xiaoning had said the cards in their hands accurately.
"So, let's go all-in!" The smile on Li Xiaoning's face looked so bright.
"This guy is really good!" Director Zhao threw down the cards in his hand.
"What a ghost!" Director Tang also threw down the cards in his hand.
"Young man, what's your name?" The old squad leader's eyes flashed.
"His name is Li Xiaoning. He is a top student at Yenching University and just arrived this year." Liu Qifeng answered for Li Xiaoning, with a hint of joy in his tone.
"Secretary Liu, what do you have?" Hou Weijun asked.
"Nothing." Liu Qifeng spread his hands and said with a smile.
"Holy shit!" Director Tang cursed.
"No way?" Director Zhao also had a look of disbelief.
Li Xiaoning said with a smile: "It's enough to win!"
"Li Xiaoning! What you have to do now is to quickly move a stool and sit next to me." The old monitor said with a smile.
"I really want to play, but I have something to do and I have to go down first!" Li Xiaoning bowed and said. He knew that at this time, he had to stop and leave in time, so he couldn't stay here.
Sure enough, when Li Xiaoning walked outside the door, he heard the old squad leader smiling and saying: "Qifeng, this guy is good, I like him!"
"Yes! Very smart!" Director Zhao also echoed.
"Yes, very smart!" Liu Qifeng repeated meaningfully.
