My Beautiful CEO.

Although Li Cheng brought two million this time, he only put out two hundred thousand. One hundred thousand was for ransom, and the other one hundred thousand was just to deal with the current situation.

After the mahjong machine shuffled the tiles, the game started very quickly.

Li Cheng had good luck with his first hand and won quickly.

However, Li Cheng did not win immediately. He looked at the expressions of the other people, who seemed to know nothing, so he discarded his tiles to cover them up, afraid that the people next to him would see.

After several rounds, Li Cheng unexpectedly drew the card he wanted again, but still discarded it.

"Mr. Li, didn't you say you were close to winning? Why aren't you taking any?"

Li Cheng was speechless for a moment, thinking to himself: You bunch of useless people, hurry up and win the game! I did it on purpose, are you all as stupid as can be?

"Yes, I'm ready to win, but I haven't drawn the winning tile yet. Sigh, my luck is just not good today," Li Cheng replied with a smile.

"Hehe, I won!" Boss Zhang proudly showed his cards, shook Li Cheng's hand and said, "Sorry, I won on the first hand. It's tripled, so you have to give me three thousand six hundred."

"You're in luck, Mr. Zhang." Li Cheng handed over the money to Mr. Zhang without making a sound, and immediately started the second round, gradually starting to make his own calculations.

This was the first time Li Cheng had played cards with Boss Zhang and his group, and he had already heard about their motives for playing cards. Li Cheng wanted to take advantage of this and let them taste the sweetness of victory.

Therefore, Li Cheng only won once before the meal was served.

In reality, Li Cheng had decent luck, but every time he won a hand, he would discard the winning tile himself.

By the time they ate, Li Cheng had unknowingly lost over ten thousand yuan.

Everyone calculated their own profits and losses. Basically, Li Cheng lost, while Boss Zhang made a lot of money. He winked at Scarface and his group with a smug look on his face.

Li Cheng raised his glass and said, "Mr. Zhang is really lucky. This is our first time eating together, so let's drink to that first."

"This is just a small token. I see that Mr. Li is quite interested. How about we play something bigger?" Mr. Zhang downed a glass of wine and looked at Li Cheng expectantly.

"I don't actually play cards. I play occasionally, just to kill some time."

"Yeah, how about we find one or two good actors to play after we finish eating?"

Li Cheng must have known that Boss Zhang wanted to win more money, so he said, "Okay, okay, no problem, let's drink first."

At the dinner table, it was nothing more than small talk; in other people's eyes, Li Cheng was a rich man.

Li Cheng was very unhappy when talking about Yang Tao, because in the eyes of this group of people, Yang Tao was just a cheap woman. Li Cheng really wanted to one day make Yang Tao point her finger at these people and humiliate them, making them regret the words they had said.

Li Cheng calmly finished his drink and ate his food, which took about an hour, before the party ended.

Mr. Zhang, his face flushed from drinking, couldn't wait to call people over to play cards.

Li Cheng wasn't really good at gambling; he only knew a little bit about it. He used to play occasionally with his colleagues at the company, and the wins and losses were at most a hundred or so yuan. This time, he had lost tens of thousands of yuan in just ten or twenty minutes, which was a first for him.

Li Cheng probably felt that this wasn't his own money, so he became bolder and became very close to them.

Whether the people Boss Zhang brought were familiar or not, or whether they were told that money was easy to make, Li Cheng didn't care anymore.

Li Cheng had made his plans; he intended to lose money this time, not win.

After playing a few rounds, Li Cheng had already lost 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. Although he felt a little bad, he had to keep up the act and play the long game.

Li Cheng maintained his smile, deliberately pretending that the money was just a small amount to him.

So Li Cheng resorted to the same trick again, went to the restroom once more, placed his phone on the seat, and started recording.

When I got back, I took a break to answer the phone and listened outside. Sure enough, I found that the two people were in Boss Zhang's gang.

When Mr. Zhang introduced himself, he claimed to be a wealthy businessman. It turns out they were all his subordinates, and they were even asking each other how much they had won. Mr. Zhang said that the money they won would be split among themselves.

Li Cheng let them be smug for now, and then he would find a way to get back at them later.

Before long, Li Cheng ran out of cash.

After checking the time, Li Cheng said, "Everyone, that's all for today. I have some business to take care of. Let's get together another day!"

"Mr. Li, I'm so sorry. I made you treat me to dinner today, and then you lost money. I'll treat you another day!" Mr. Zhang shook hands with Li Cheng.

"It's nothing, just a friendly chat. I'll be going now. Give me a call another day, and I'll definitely come over." With that, Li Cheng pretended to be nonchalant and left.

After counting the money, Li Cheng thought the bait was ready, and immediately contacted Skinny Monkey to arrange a meeting.

They went to a high-end restaurant for dinner. When Skinny Monkey came over and saw them, he said somewhat nervously, "Brother Cheng, you've struck it rich? My God, you're so rich!"

Li Cheng took out the remaining money and handed it to the skinny monkey, saying, "With so much money, a meal won't be a problem, right?"

Skinny Monkey's eyes lit up immediately, and he said in surprise, "My God, Brother Cheng, did you rob a bank?"

So Li Cheng told Skinny Monkey the whole story of what happened that day.

The skinny monkey was stunned, spilling the wine in his glass. He quickly said, "I admire you! You are truly skilled and daring!"

"I'm just investing in fishing."

"So what are your plans for the future? What if you lose the bet?"

Li Cheng patted Skinny Monkey on the shoulder and said, "And you too! Don't pretend with me, kid. I invited you to this big meal because I wanted you to come and help me out!"

Skinny Monkey was stunned on the spot. He adjusted his glasses and said, "This... I'm a little worried. I've been retired for so many years. I only play around occasionally. I can't say for sure."

"Hmph, don't talk nonsense. I think your forgery skills are pretty impressive. Teach me, and while you're at it, help me choose some professional equipment? I'm going to gamble!"

Skinny Monkey hesitated for a moment and said, "It's not that it's impossible, it's just too risky. If someone finds out, we're doomed."

“Your skills are top-notch, you’ll be fine. I’ll just be careful,” Li Cheng said.

Skinny Monkey has insights into electronics technology and cheating. Li Cheng once witnessed firsthand what Skinny Monkey could make, and he could also modify the programs of some devices.

If the mahjong machine's program could be intelligently modified, that would be fantastic, which is why Li Cheng decided to take a gamble.

Now is the time when Skinny Monkey can be of use. He thought about it over and over for a long time before finally agreeing, saying, "Then I will go back and study it carefully. I also hope there won't be any mistakes."

"Right, then my meal wasn't a complete waste. Come on, let's have a drink. Happy cooperation!" So Li Cheng and Skinny Monkey toasted each other.

After finishing his meal, the skinny monkey hurriedly went back to prepare for his research.
