Rise of a Nobody
Some things are not foreseeable from the beginning, just like Zhao Changsheng's approach to Dou Changhe. At the start, no one realized whether it was a good or bad beginning, but in fact, Zhao Changsheng was gradually getting closer to Dou Changhe and his family.
Dou Changhe watched Zhao Changsheng, who was chatting enthusiastically with Dou Yingying, and thought to himself, "This kid is really talented. If I nurture him properly, could he become my successor in the future?"
Zhao Changsheng was talking to Dou Yingying about the interesting things at school, and of course, it couldn't be separated from some academic matters. All the fresh methods of learning, even though they had not yet been tested in practice, but as a teacher, Zhao Xinya also felt they were worth a try. Therefore, Zhao Xinya's fondness for Zhao Changsheng was no longer solely on that necklace.
For a moment, there were several different thoughts among the four people, and Zhao Changsheng was also constantly considering the gains of tonight. He had to rush back to Lujialing later, so after dinner, he didn't delay and directly took Dou Changhe's car to Lujialing.
Tonight, he was going to do something big. A few days ago, just as Li Fengni said, Chen Biaozi came to find him to play cards. At that time, the contact lenses he wanted had not arrived yet, and he didn't know if Uncle Long was pulling his leg. But when he actually got the contact lenses, it was as if he had discovered a new world, which made him overjoyed.
He found that after wearing these glasses, not only could he see through ordinary playing cards, but he could also clearly see the tiles in mahjong. Moreover, the first time he wore them, he went for a walk in the village, which almost caused trouble.
"Brother Hu, do you think this kid will come? I always feel that this kid is not to be trifled with."
Chen Biaozi said. "No worries, Biaozi, are you scared, kid? You weren't like this before. Isn't this guy just a little thug in a dog skin? Are you really afraid of him?" Wang Laohu said discontentedly. "Brother Hu, Biaozi is right. We should really be careful about this. No matter what, this guy is also someone connected with the authorities. If we anger him, wouldn't it be difficult to explain to Yu Shengcai?" Liu Mazi also said from the side. "No problem, just listen to me. If you guys don't want to come, I'll bet with him myself. With my decades of experience, I can't lose to a kid." Wang Laohu said. "Who are you calling a kid? Such big talk, aren't you afraid of getting your tongue bitten by the wind?" Zhao Changsheng entered Wang Laohu's house with a convenience bag. To be honest, Wang Laohu's house was really bare, with not a hint of a home. Needless to say, this guy had lost quite a few times. "Oh, it's Officer Zhao. Come in and have a seat. What we said was just in jest, how could we dare to talk about you, right, Brother Hu?"
Upon seeing Zhao Changsheng enter, Chen Biaozi stood up enthusiastically to greet him. Liu Mazi didn't speak, but this guy had sharp eyes. He couldn't take his eyes off the bag in Zhao Changsheng's hand. Inside were about ten bundles of red bills, which were clearly visible under the electric light. It was money, and a quick glance told him that this kid must have brought at least one hundred thousand yuan. He couldn't help but wonder how Zhao Changsheng, who had been penniless and stealing from others just a few months ago, had become wealthy. Wang Laohu wanted to say a few words to provoke Zhao Changsheng, but Liu Mazi elbowed him from the side, and then he followed Liu Mazi's gaze to see what was inside the plastic bag on the table. "Tiger Brother, how shall we gamble? One by one, or all together? I don't know how to play, the only thing I know is betting on big or small, which means whoever has the bigger number wins. Of course, if you're not willing to play such a low-level game, that's fine. I mainly came for Brother Biao's sake, right, Brother Biao?" Zhao Changsheng glanced at Chen Biaozi sitting beside him. "Yes, yes, Tiger Brother has played everything, hasn't he, Tiger Brother? Why don't we let Tiger Brother play with Officer Zhao first, and we can watch and learn?" Chen Biaozi gave Wang Laohu a look, implying that such a fat sheep shouldn't be let go without being sheared by his buddies. "Alright, alright, then I'll play. Let me first explain the rules: every round must reveal the cards. If you choose to abstain, then sorry, you have to pay a hundred yuan. If the cards are revealed and compared, the smaller one loses two hundred yuan."
Bearing in mind that he had played cards for several more years, Wang Laohu was quite arrogant, setting the stakes for each hand so high that it made Liu Mazi and Chen Biaozhi breathe a bit rapidly, thinking that Wang Laohu was too hasty. However, this was the time when Wang Laohu was in high spirits, and no one wanted to touch that ill luck. 'To be fair, these are a few new decks of cards I brought. All of you are veterans in the gambling circle, so you can check if there is anything wrong with these decks. Actually, they were bought from Wang Widow's little store. If you don't trust them, you can go to the store and buy a few more.' 'No problem, the cards we play here were also bought from Wang Widow.' Chen Biaozhi said after unfolding and looking at a deck.
