"The new hotel is just trial operation, so it doesn't matter much whether it's sealed or not. The gambling match expires the day after tomorrow, and it can be unsealed then," Er Zhu seemed to guess Li Mei and Sun Jianguo's thoughts and spoke again.
Li Mei was still a bit confused, but Sun Jianguo had already figured out Er Zhu's intentions. He suppressed a chuckle and nodded. Er Zhu wanted to send the final accounts to Wang Xiao on that day. This time, the brat might lose so much that he wouldn't even have pants to wear! "Alright, we'll listen to you," Sun Jianguo nodded and chatted with Er Zhu for a few more sentences before hanging up the phone.
As soon as Sun Jianguo's call ended, Liu Changfa's call also came in. Of course, Er Zhu still told him to hold off.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the agreed gambling match. Er Zhu arrived at the designated private room, which was already packed with onlookers and various local social media celebrities. Er Zhu knew without a doubt that these people were all invited by Wang Xiao to witness history, although the history they would witness was not the same as what he had in mind.
"Er Zhu, you're going to lose this round, and you won't have any chance to turn things around!" Seeing Er Zhu, Wang Xiao quickly walked up to him, shaking Er Zhu's hand tightly with a provocative gleam in his eyes.
"Mhm." But Er Zhu didn't even look at him. He just squeezed out a word from his throat and released his hand, sitting down on a nearby sofa.
*Heh, still acting tough at this point, what an idiot!* Facing Er Zhu's calm demeanor, Wang Xiao was stunned, but in an instant, he seemed to have thought of something and muttered to himself dismissively. Er Zhu must not know about the hotel incident, which is why he is so calm and composed! He was already eager to tell Er Zhu this fact, and he really wanted to know what expression Er Zhu would have when he knew he had lost!
"Er Zhu, these are all prominent figures in town; they are all my partners this time," Wang Xiao said, pointing to the distinguished guests with a proud boast. Although the grand occasion was impressive enough, it would have been even better if he could have roped in people like Lin Sheng! Wang Xiao looked at the influential figures, and while he was happy, a hint of regret flickered in his eyes. As the second-ranked individual in the neighboring city, Lin Sheng's influence was much greater than the Wang family's. To gain his assistance, Wang Xiao had sent countless precious gifts, but Lin Sheng not only refused to cooperate but also warned him not to provoke Er Zhu. *A country bumpkin, what is there not to provoke? I don't know what this old guy is thinking...*
Thinking of Lin Sheng, Wang Xiao was filled with annoyance, and his excited mood immediately diminished by half.
"Young Master Xiao, Lin Sheng has arrived," a bodyguard rushed over and whispered in his ear as Wang Xiao was feeling dejected.
"What? Quickly, quickly let him in!" Hearing that Lin Sheng had arrived, Wang Xiao stood up excitedly and quickly waved to the bodyguard.
"Er Zhu, Lin Sheng, ranked second in the neighboring city, has also come to support me. You are definitely finished this time!" As soon as the bodyguard left, Wang Xiao pointed to the entrance with a smug look, his mouth almost splitting to his ears! Lin Sheng's return must be due to the beauty he sent two days ago, hahaha, today is truly unforgettable!
Looking at Wang Xiao's excited appearance, Er Zhu could barely contain his laughter. Although he didn't know why Lin Sheng was here, he knew it certainly wasn't to support Wang Xiao! Because he wouldn't dare!
At this moment, Lin Sheng and Lin Yaowei walked over from a distance, followed by some town celebrities.
"President Lin, Young Master Lin, it's great that you could come. Welcome aboard!" Seeing Lin Sheng and Lin Yaowei, Wang Xiao excitedly stepped forward, and the other guests also crowded around, especially the influential figures who were cooperating with Wang Xiao. With the Lin family's support, they would be even more formidable. How much they wanted, that fool would have to give! The more the fool gave, the more dividends they would receive! Not only would they get more money, but they would also owe the Wang family a favor. This was a win-win situation! Everyone's faces lit up with smiles, almost jumping with excitement!
"Get lost, who is as foolish as you!" Just as Wang Xiao was about to enthusiastically introduce the current situation to the Lin father and son, he was surprised to hear Lin Sheng say this.
*Huh?* Instantly, the scene quieted down considerably, and everyone looked at each other in confusion. They discussed for a long time but couldn't figure it out. President Lin wasn't here to support Young Master Xiao, so was he here to support that country bumpkin? One was from the countryside, and the other was the second wealthiest family in the neighboring city, a position of high status. How could they know each other?
*Click, click...* The cameras flashed continuously, and the social media big shots were also introducing the scene with great interest. As Wang Xiao stood there in a daze, the Lin father and son respectfully walked up to Er Zhu.
"Brother Wang, it's been so long, how have you been?"
*Boom!* Seeing this scene, the private room instantly erupted in chaos. The cameras flashed even faster, almost blinding everyone's eyes! Wang Xiao looked at it all with a look of utter shock, feeling as if he had been struck by lightning! Even if Lin Sheng wasn't here to support him, he shouldn't be here to support Er Zhu, and to call him brother! That was the second wealthiest in the neighboring city, someone who could make waves there! How could he be like a subservient grandson in front of that country bumpkin?
"Not bad. How about you, Brother Lin?" Er Zhu ignored the gaze of the crowd, nodded slightly, and acknowledged Lin Sheng.
"Thanks to you, I'm doing alright. Brother Wang, rest assured, I will definitely stand by your side today. Anyone who dares to oppose you is an enemy of Lin Sheng!" Lin Sheng bowed slightly, and as he spoke, he looked at everyone in the private room, his tone leaving no room for doubt! The guests' faces turned pale, knowing full well that Lin Sheng was speaking to them. Although they had some reservations, they were not afraid. The Lin family was indeed powerful, but only in the neighboring city. Besides, with so many influential figures combined, could they not defeat the Lin family?
"Lin Sheng, you're asking for trouble. Don't regret it later!" At this moment, Wang Xiao had also recovered from his shock. He glared fiercely at the Lin father and son, gritting his teeth. Lin Sheng's actions had made him lose face completely. Since that was the case, he didn't need to be polite anymore! What if he was the second wealthiest in the neighboring city? All of them combined, their wealth and power surpassed that of the richest man in the neighboring city!
"Regret? Only those who support you, you idiot, will regret it," Lin Sheng sneered, glancing dismissively at Wang Xiao and the others, his eyes full of disdain. Since he learned about the gambling match between Er Zhu and Wang Xiao, he had been paying attention to the situation here, and thus, he was naturally aware of Wang Xiao's plan and the situation with the municipal government.
