Needless to say, the driver's words were very reasonable. Although Ah Xiang's life was in a desperate situation, he did not fall to the point of begging. Instead, he had the ability to steal batteries. Compared to those disabled beggars, he was considered lucky.
Ah Xiang fell into silence. "Ah Dao, you are right, but I have nothing now. How am I going to make a name for myself?"
"You have to believe that there is hope as long as you are alive." Ah Dao comforted him.
In terms of finances, he was not well-off, so he could not provide Ah Xiang with much material help.
To put it bluntly, if Ah Xiang could not come to his senses, even if he provided material help, it would not be of much use.
"Sigh."
Ah Xiang let out a long sigh and looked remorseful. He shook his head and said, "In the end, it's all because of that casino. They purposely cheated. From what I know, at least a few hundred people in Meng County fell for it. Conservatively speaking, they lost more than a hundred million!
Occasionally, there were a few who won, but it looked like they were hired by the casino. Ah Dao, I heard that you are doing well in the military. Why don't you report this to the commander-in-chief? That casino is too powerful. Even the mayor of Meng County can't do anything about it. "
"Uh …" Ah Xiang's words made Ah Dao look awkward. He was just a driver, so his words carried little weight. Moreover, Shangguan Guoqiang knew a thing or two about the situation in Meng County and had no intention of interfering. Why would Ah Dao bring it up?
He might even lose his job.
"What? Does the commander-in-chief not care about the lives of the people in Meng County?
Why don't you just give the land to the three countries at the border? That would save us some trouble. "As a native of Meng County, Ah Xiang knew that this was a typical example of a remote place.
His voice was not soft. Some of the passers-by who were watching the show could not help but secretly vote for him. The rest were foreigners. They had lived here for a long time and more or less knew some Chinese. They roughly understood Ah Xiang's words and felt the atmosphere of the fox mourning for the rabbit's death. They immediately showed an expression of schadenfreude.
"I told you, Hua Xia's people are afraid of us."
"Haha, Meng County will belong to us sooner or later!"
"Bullsh * t, it's obviously our old nest!"
Listening to these people speaking in broken Chinese and speaking arrogant words, I was a little annoyed. I looked around, and with just a glance, those people felt a chill as if the God of Death was coming. They couldn't help but shrink their heads.
Generally speaking, when international friends came to a new country, they would be polite and fearful, but these guys really took themselves seriously!
As expected, it wasn't as easy as I had thought. Maybe I could get rid of that mysterious shaman, but I wouldn't be able to solve the problem in Meng County.
"Let's go and play at the casino you mentioned," I suggested.
"Ah …" Ah Xiang was stunned. He quickly waved his hand and said, "Little brother, didn't I tell you just now? They like to cheat. From your accent, you shouldn't be from Meng County. To be honest, when you come here, you can spend money to find pretty girls to play with, but you really shouldn't get involved in gambling or drugs. As a person who came here, I just want to tell you that if you don't gamble, you win. Even if you win money, it's just a process.
"Cough, cough. It's okay. No matter how much they eat, they have to spit it out today." I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This guy was really interesting.
"Are you sure you want to go?"
Seeing that I had made up my mind, Ah Xiang frowned and asked, "Little brother, I have to remind you that you need to bring at least five thousand renminbi to the casino. Can you afford it?"
Ah Dao, who was on the side, had a weird expression. Just as he wanted to say something, I signaled him with my eyes and took out my phone. After thinking about it, I still didn't enter the mobile banking app. He would be scared to death if he saw the balance.
I clicked into my WeChat wallet. Although there was only some change, it was still close to a million. The Black Mud Facial Mask Company had just been established, and didn't have a corporate account yet. I bound my account to the microstore, and through Hsieh Shih-chi's livestream, it reached over a million in a short few days. After the company account was set up, I didn't receive any more money.
Since I didn't lack money, I didn't withdraw any cash. When Ah Xiang saw the balance in my wallet, he was stunned.
"Little brother, don't trick me with a screenshot. I've seen this kind of trick many times," Ah Xiang curled his lips and said in disdain.
"Ugh, then I'll withdraw some cash for you to see," I didn't find it strange. I casually withdrew a few tens of thousands, and it was transferred to my account in a dozen or so seconds.
Ah Xiang instantly fell into silence, then a flash of light flashed across his eyes.
Although he was slapped in the face, he didn't get angry, and instead smiled apologetically. "Little brother, I'm sorry, I looked down on you. Let's go, I'll take you there."
The driver, Ah Dao, frowned. Although he didn't know what I was thinking, he didn't stop me. Normal people wanted to make money every day and win money easily. However, he knew my identity. I was the founder of the most popular Black Mud Facial Mask Company. Money was just a number. In other words, I wanted to go to the casino so much because I wanted to vent my anger.
Since the casino wasn't far from here, we didn't drive back. After walking for about ten minutes, we arrived at our destination.
This was a three-story clubhouse. There were signs of chess, cards, entertainment, health care, and massage. There was a row of cars parked in front of the entrance. There were also a few sexy girls in revealing clothes standing at the entrance, and occasionally winking at passersby.
Now, I saw a mature woman dressed in fashionable clothes walk over with a mischievous smile.
"Handsome, do you want to come in and play a few rounds?"
She winked and said with a seductive tone. She even intentionally or unintentionally rubbed against my body, causing me to blush.
"Xiao Hong."
Before I said anything, Ah Xiang took the initiative to greet her. Due to his messy hair and dirty face, the mature woman didn't recognize him immediately.
