Ch.287 Long Night (2)
She couldn't even compare to that little star who went up to the fourth floor to gamble that day. That man only looked so lost after losing over 100 million, but how much has she lost?
Lin Yueqi sat in the gazebo on Lover's Cliff, waiting for Lu Ting and Tuantuan to come over and see the rainbow bridge together with her.
Since Lu Ting and Tuantuan weren't here yet, Lucy was accompanying her and talking to her.
When the two of them brought up that matter, Lucy also felt a little puzzled. "That woman called Le Xiao is also quite strange. She won more than 100 million just a few days ago, and I merely asked her to spit out everything she won. But she just gave me a look as if she were going to die. Seems like my boss has misjudged her. Her mental qualities are not good after all."
Lin Yueqi could understand her meaning and complained quietly, "Your boss is really crafty. He sees that she's rich and intentionally left her a sugar trail so that she can come back and gamble. Is this how Le Xiao's husband was set up by you guys as well? IN that case, her husband's suicide would also be linked to you guys."
Even though Lin Yueqi did not sympathize with there people who got addicted to gambling and had it bite them in the back after, she felt that this Mr. Si wasn't that nice a guy either.
"Miss Lin, are you spitting on our boss? Our Mr. Si is not a charity man, this is a legal entertainment business, and we also pay taxes. If casinos are to blame for this as you say, then what about Haigang City? Are they still going to develop? Boss has his own way of doing business. If he wants to attract customers, then of course some marketing tactics have to be used. Leaving out a 'sugar trail' has its risks, some guests will leave after they have a taste, and we're the ones who will lose from this. We accept that, and we just take it as gifting money to someone else. You saw it yourself. Our casino is very humane, and every guest is required to gamble according to their own ability. There are too many rich people in the circle, so whether they lose or not, those big bosses don't really care. To them, this is nothing more than entertainment."
"Gambling supports Haigang City economically, and it not only has the largest amusement park in the country, but even the largest gambling city. This place is nicknamed the Las Vegas of China, the entertainment paradise."
"As for the Mr. Liu that you mentioned, I do remember him slightly. He's the only man who was not qualified enough, unemployed, had his net worth fall directly to the bottom, and yet was allowed to gamble on the fourth floor. Mr. Si specifically wanted him to spit out 80 million, no more, and no less."
When she heard this, Lin Yueqi understood. She wondered, "Isn't that dirty of him to do that? Even though he knew he couldn't afford it, why did he allow him to gamble on the fourth floor? What a villain."
Lucy laughed. "That's because this Mr. Liu stole something from the boss, and what he stole was worth exactly 90 million, no more, no less. It was obviously impossible for the boss to ask for it back directly. That's why he used this method."
Lin Yueqi leaned back in her seat and sighed, looking at the dome of the gazebo. "Human desire is endless. I don't understand the world of the rich. In the future, when I really become a rich person, then I wouldn't amuse myself this way. Is it really worth it to buy just a moment of excitement with your hard-earned money? How much do I earn from a single movie? After so much hard work, over so many days and nights...And to lose that all at once? I'm sorry, I really don't think it's fun at all. I may become like that actor from that day, being dragged away in shock. No, after this I need to have a talk with Old Lu. He usually looks really upright, but I didn't expect him to be so smooth with cards. It seems like he plays a lot of cards usually...What if he gets addicted to it one day?”
