Driving to the Lisboa Hotel.

Su Yehao parked the car at the main entrance, casually tossing the keys to the valet.

He was on the phone, half his face obscured.

The valet didn't recognize him at first and wondered who was so arrogant as to throw the keys like that, too lazy to walk a few steps.

Suddenly realizing it was Su Yehao, the young valet's face instantly changed. He hurried over, all smiles, and said, "Young Master Su, long time no see. I'll find you a good parking spot, so it's convenient when you come out later."

Having gradually developed the habit of tipping, Su Yehao heard this, took out his wallet, and handed over two hundred Hong Kong dollars.

He didn't speak, just nodded.

The Su family's influence in Hong Kong was far behind the top tycoons, but here in Casino, as long as you stood somewhere high enough, you could always see a few properties belonging to Sihai International Group.

After the financial crisis, the fortunes of many plummeted, but the Su family's star rose higher and higher. In Casino, everyone seemed to know Su Yehao.

So while he waited for Baoya Jun and the others, many people came up to him to curry favor. The casino manager even came out to greet him personally, handing him a cigar and lighting it for him, asking if he needed a VIP room arranged for a high-stakes game.

The kind where small bets are fun.

If anyone dared to treat him like a sucker, they'd have to ask Su's old man first. Looking at the whole of Casino, there weren't many who dared to mess with him.

He declined the casino manager's suggestion.

After Su Yehao met up with his buddies, they each exchanged several tens of thousands of dollars for chips and headed into the main hall.

Zhugan hadn't seen him for a while, so he asked, "Brother Hao, have you struck it rich again recently? My mom said that the whole tax team spent days working on your tax return for last year, and then I got scolded again for only learning how to play from you and not how to earn money."

He Shao Fan chimed in:

"Yeah, it's outrageous. I got lectured at home too, but they don't want to give me money to invest. They used to tell me not to hang out with you, but now they want me to learn from you. You're the one who led us astray, and then you secretly went ashore, leaving us in the water. This definitely calls for a few meals to make up for it."

Su Yehao listened, a smile on his face, and said, "Back then, when I said I could do it, none of you believed me. The tourism company is doing pretty well, isn't that enough to show for it?"

"The tourism company only makes a few bucks, it's gone as soon as you spend it..."

They were full of resentment towards Su Yehao for not contacting them lately and secretly making a fortune.

They were close enough to complain, but if they were really asked to invest heavily and get on board, they'd probably back away.

Mainly, Su Yehao's rise to riches was clear for all to see. Over ninety percent of the profits came from investing in Yahoo. Investing was never as reassuring as running a business. The more Yahoo rose, the more they worried about becoming bagholders. How could they dare to gamble with Su Yehao that it would keep rising?

To be fair, Su Yehao had thought about giving them a hand, but these guys had ruthlessly mocked him.

They used to hang out together, but after leaving middle school, Su Yehao seemed to have a cheat code, transforming into a somewhat famous business prodigy. His friends inevitably felt a sense of imbalance.

Fortunately, they all had good foundations, so it was more envy than jealousy.

Before, Su Yehao, as the only son in his family, was already the richest in their group. Now, he was just even richer, which was easier to accept.

The conversation quickly turned to the so-called "most beautiful croupier," and they asked a server, heading towards a roulette table...

In front of Su Yehao, He Shao Fan had no advantage at all, and he couldn't utter nonsense about fair competition.

At this moment.

He Shao Fan, seeing a slender figure in a white shirt and black tie in the distance, quickly grabbed Su Yehao, his tone wary, "Brother Hao, you've already got plenty of beauties around you. For the sake of your health, let her go this time. Please don't bully us anymore."

Baoya Jun spread his hands and said:

"When Brother Hao isn't around, this guy is the most popular whenever we go out. It's like that saying, 'When the cat's away, the mice will play'. She's a croupier, hanging around the casino all day, she's seen all kinds of people. I don't think I stand a chance. Brother Hao, don't hold back, let me learn a few tricks."

"..."

Su Yehao said calmly, "Learn what? I don't need to take the initiative, people come after me."

After saying that, he looked at the female croupier, giving her a cursory glance.

Oval face, big eyes, long hair, and a bright smile. She should be about 1.7 meters tall.

His first impression was that she was decent. Perhaps it was because there were more male and married female croupiers that she stood out.

Having spent so much time with Nong Qingying and Little Ni Zi, Su Yehao had become immune to pretty girls. He really couldn't muster the interest to make a move, casually waving his hand and saying, "I'll play a couple of rounds for fun. Whoever has the skill, go for it. I definitely won't get in the way."

Hearing this, He Shao Fan was overjoyed, his eyes shining.

It wasn't that He Shao Fan really lacked confidence, but they had been playing together for so many years, and every time they met a pretty girl, they ended up flocking to Su Yehao.

The unforgettable past was still vivid in his mind, so he had to be careful.

With Su Yehao's words, He Shao Fan immediately puffed out his chest and headed towards the roulette table.

Su Yehao took several tens of thousands of dollars worth of chips, casually found a table, and started playing brainless blackjack, betting five thousand each time without any pressure.

——————————

Around ten in the morning, there weren't many customers at the Lisboa Casino.

The middle-aged male croupier in front of him dealt the cards seriously. Su Yehao was winning and losing, and of his original sixty thousand chips, he still had fifty-five thousand left after a few minutes.

Not far away.

He Shao Fan stood by the roulette table, betting small chips each time, taking the opportunity to ask the female croupier out for a drive, drinks, and movies, casually revealing some of his family's wealth. The croupier was relatively enthusiastic.

Just when He Shao Fan thought he had a chance.

He heard the tall female croupier suddenly raise her chin and ask, "Is that Young Master Su from Sihai International over there? Are you friends with him? I bought a computer two weeks ago, and the first software I downloaded was tAt. Would anyone be kind enough to give me his tAt account?"

He Shao Fan's expression fell, glaring at Baoya Jun, blaming him for calling Su Yehao over before they left. He was cursed.

Before he even got close, the girl was already asking for Su Yehao's account.

Baoya Jun was full of admiration, shaking his head and clicking his tongue, saying, "Brother Hao said people always take the initiative with him, I didn't believe it before, but now I do. Remind me to never let him meet my girlfriend before I get married. It's too much pressure having a buddy like that."

Zhugan agreed, nodding and adding:

"That's right, even if you're excellent, you'll be suppressed. Who told him he made over a billion in half a year, and his family has tens of billions... He's also handsome and has a personality that girls like."

He Shao Fan didn't give up, directly telling the female croupier, "Give up on him, he already has a girlfriend. Why not consider me?"

The female croupier paused slightly, threw out the little steel ball, and said, "What are you thinking? I just admire him and want to make friends and bring more business to my table. You're asking me out on our first meeting, do I look that easy?"

Beside them, Baoya Jun rolled his eyes, he could hear the fallback in her tone.

Immediately losing interest, he walked to Su Yehao's card table.

Su Yehao asked Baoya Jun, "How is it going, any chance?"

Baoya Jun replied, "Boring, she looks like she's a vegetarian, but she's actually a carnivore. Coming back here wasted my time. In Jiang Yu's dance club, there's a freshman named Wang, I saw her last time. Brother Hao, remember to ask Jiang Yu to introduce me."

Hearing "carnivore," Su Yehao understood, she was probably quite materialistic.

He told Baoya Jun, "Tell Jiang Yu yourself, but she might not help. After all, every time she helps, she loses a friend. Why don't you guys learn from me, settle down, and have a serious relationship..."
