King of Gamblers: Growing from a Student to a Jade King

Chapter 37: Family Banquet

Regarding this tall and outstanding woman, seeing her getting close to Seventh Master, my first instinct was to suspect she was his mistress. That's how the world works; wealthy men can play with other people's daughters.

But I just glanced at her, and I saw her turn around and glare at me, as if she sensed something. I stared straight at her, and I don't know why, but deep down, I already felt like I looked down on her. Although she was beautiful, I thought she was the same type of woman as Xiao Mi, both of them selling their bodies. So, I didn't avoid her gaze, and when she glared at me and saw that I didn't look away, she turned her head

I just feel it's a pity that such a beautiful person ended up with that old man, Seventh Master...

After exiting the elevator and walking into the restaurant of the upscale club, I saw many waitresses. All the waitresses were slender, youthful, and delicate young women, dressed in the floral clothes of the Yunnan Dai people, giving a very rustic flavor. However, every woman here was very beautiful, which made it quite distinctive.

The restaurant, however, is a typical Western establishment, not only featuring a band performing but also a dance floor for people to dance. With a blend of Eastern and Western elements, the business is thriving, and the restaurant is already quite full. This is Master Qi's restaurant, and it seems his business is quite prosperous.

At that moment, I saw a woman walking over. Fat Pig Zhu, with a forced smile, walked over and opened the bracelet he had exchanged from Boss Wei, handing it to her. I watched as the woman shot a sidelong glance at Fat Pig Zhu, then smiled and came over to support Old Master Qi. It seemed she was very pleased with the bracelet.

This woman was different from what I had imagined. She had short hair, a very plump figure, very fair skin, and a unique sense of style. Although she was dressed warmly, she didn't look old. She helped Elder Qi walk away, and Fat Pig Zhu followed. I stood beside Silly Qiang, who said, "This is Sister-in-law, Elder Qi's daughter, whom Boss Zhang respects very much."

When I hear the words "respect and esteem," I just want to laugh. Is it really respect and esteem?I think it's fear, that's right.

I watched them talk for a while, and then they looked over at me. Fat Pig Zhu waved his hand and said, "Zhao Fei, come here."

I walked over, and Fat Pig Zhu casually said, "This is Zhao Fei. He got lucky and helped me win a pair of bracelets. I took him in because I saw that the young man was doing a good job."

I looked at Seventh Master, who glared at me without saying a word. I didn't know how to address them, so I didn't speak either. Fat Pig Zhu said, "Young people don't understand the occasion and haven't seen much of the world. They're so scared they don't even know how to talk. Go out with Sha Qiang and get something to eat."

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand at me impatiently, but Seventh Master said, "This is a family dinner, the kid is new here, don't make it too hard for him. We are all very kind people, come sit down and eat together."

I was a bit surprised when I heard that. Looking at Fat Pig Zhu, he seemed a bit angry and said, "What are you standing there for? If Seventh Master tells you to sit, then sit!"

After I listened, I hurriedly found a spot by the side and sat down.

Fat Pig Zhu ordered a bottle of red wine, and the waiter immediately brought over a few tall crystal glasses. Then he opened a bottle of red wine and poured me a glass as well. I didn't say anything, just stood by and watched, listening to Fat Pig Zhu and his wife talk about their daily lives, and he even got scolded for going out and messing around today. Seventh Master didn't say anything, just listened, but Fat Pig Zhu didn't dare to utter a word. This person is so

It is evident how imposing Lord Qi is.

A few people said they were tired of talking and stopped, the atmosphere became a bit cold, and suddenly, Uncle Qi asked me, "Kid, you're not from Ruili, are you?"

I felt a bit anxious, nodded, and said, "Kunming."

"Oh, that's not far. How long have you been with Qian Guang?" Seventh Master asked.

I said, "Not long."

"Seventh Master, he's with me now, he's just lucky..." Fat Pig Zhu said.

"Hmph, good luck? I don't think so. When it comes to gambling on stones, the people of Ruili are all good at it, including me. I often go to Myanmar to play, but I've never won. I know this industry is a learned skill. I heard that you helped Qian Guang win quite a bit of money, around ten million, right? Sigh, my hot spring club only makes this much profit in a year," Seventh Master said.

"Dad, don't be jealous. Isn't he with Zhang now?"In the future, if you want to gamble, just call out, a little fun is fine, but don't go big.

I looked at the person speaking, who was Fat Pig Zhu's wife. She was probably around thirty years old, with an oval face, a pair of charming watery eyes, a high nose, fair skin, and a slender waist. When she smiled, she was truly elegant and graceful, a demeanor that seemed to have been cultivated from a young age of being pampered and well-fed.

Suddenly, she reached out her hand and said, "Zhao Fei, right? My name is Ma Lan."

I was a bit flustered and quickly reached out to shake hands. I originally just intended to shake once and be done with it, but she held on and didn't let go. I felt a small finger scratching my palm, making me feel a bit ticklish. I looked at her smiling at me; although her smile was plain, her hand movements made me think too much. I looked at Fat Pig Zhu, who wasn't looking at me. It seemed like his relationship with his wife wasn't very good.

I struggled hard and finally managed to break free. I picked up my glass and took a sip, when suddenly I felt someone touch my leg. I was so startled that I shivered. I didn't look down, but I could feel a foot constantly rubbing against my leg. That sensation made my scalp tingle.

I knew it was Fat Pig Zhu's wife, but I never thought I would encounter such a thing myself. Suddenly, I felt a bit dry-mouthed.

"Zhao Fei, tell me, which type of stone is the easiest to win when gambling on stones?" Ma Lan asked me.

I'm a bit embarrassed; her leg keeps rubbing against me, and it's getting higher and higher. Seriously, I feel like I'm about to pee.

I said, "Gambling on stones often focuses on the color, betting on the right color. Additionally, there's the gamble on the quality of the stone, which should be good, old, and vibrant; then there's the gamble on the texture, betting on its fine, watery, and clean texture; and even the gamble on cracks, fog, and whether there are blemishes. It's very difficult to bet well, which is why people say 'nine out of ten bets lose.'"

Malan reached out and placed her hand on the table, resting her head on her palm, looking at me with squinted eyes, giving off a drunken vibe. She smiled and said, "You lose nine out of ten times when you gamble, but you've never lost. You must have some experience, right? Share it with your sister?"

I looked at her; although she wasn't exactly a great beauty, the collar hanging down in front of her made my mouth dry.

I didn't dare to look at her; I was afraid that Fat Pig Zhu would cause me trouble. I deliberately looked at Seventh Master and said, "First, we need to clearly understand the origin of the jadeite, which mine in Myanmar it comes from."Different jadeite sources have different characteristics; for example, some sources produce jadeite with very tender texture, which is not good, while some sources produce jadeite with mature texture, making the jadeite much more valuable.Secondly, you also need to check whether the jade rough has "snake skin" and "pine flower" on the outside.If there are patterns like python skin or designs like pine flowers, or both, then it is very good material.Additionally, there is a saying in the industry: "Green follows black."If there are black parts on the surface of the jade rough, it is very likely that the jade underneath is green. Usually, before I make a bet, I use a high-brightness flashlight to shine on the stone to see how well it transmits light. The more transparent it is, the higher its "water" content, and the higher the quality of the jade.

Seventh Master listened and nodded at me, saying, "These are things people in the industry often say, but the real tricks of the trade depend on experience. You're so young, your experience is quite outdated. I have high hopes for you. I don't know if you're interested in coming to our Rui Li to open a shop and do some business?"

"Seventh Master, he's doing business? Don't flatter him, he's not up to par..." Fat Pig Zhu suddenly said. After finishing, he glanced at me and then tapped the table.

I understood what Fat Pig Zhu meant; he wanted me to stop talking, so I kept quiet. Seven Master didn't ask either. At that moment, music started playing. I looked at Miss Ma next to Seven Master, and she said, "Come dance with me."

When I heard these words, my heart felt very sour. I knew that this woman must be one of the women kept by Seventh Master. She's so wild, and even dances with Seventh Master. Doesn't she even consider whether he can keep up or not?

"I'm already old, so don't bother me anymore. Sigh, Zhao Fei, you're young, go have fun with her," Seventh Master said to me.

Seventh Master's words surprised me a bit, but as I looked at this woman, I suddenly felt an indescribable excitement inside me.

I was a bit dazed, and I said, "This doesn't seem appropriate for me to wear, and besides, I can't dance."

"It's okay, I'll teach you, and I won't mind you..."

Her words made me feel a bit insulted. Disdain me? Who do you think you are to disdain me?She said that, and it ignited my fighting spirit. I immediately walked gracefully behind Miss Ma and formally invited her to dance with me.

"Miss Ma, please!" I extended my hand, trying hard to remain calm.

"Mm!" Miss Ma glanced at me with the corner of her eye, then smiled, revealing a charmingly naive expression, and slowly placed her hand on my burning hand.

Suddenly, I heard her whispering in my ear.

"Are you afraid of me? You're shaking so much..."

I looked at her, not out of fear but out of nervousness. However, seeing her disdainful expression ignited my fighting spirit. I told myself, she's nothing special, just a kept woman...
