On the recommendation of the tour guide, we went to a restaurant owned by a foreigner.
Booked a private room in advance.
Caviar, foie gras, steak, etc., just ordered a few dishes.
"The food cooked by foreigners is not bad." Su Daqiang tasted it and thought it was good.
"Dad, this is not made by a foreigner, the chef is from Daxia." Su Mingcheng responded.
"Is the cook from Daxia? It's just that the portion is a bit too small." Su Daqiang felt that he was not full.
"It's a bit small, but we ordered a lot, and there are still several dishes that haven't been served."
"Mingcheng, what are your plans after dinner?" Teacher Zhu asked.
"Dad, after dinner, let's take a rest first, and then" Su Mingcheng said casually about the itinerary.
"Okay, it's time to take a rest." The excitement has passed and everyone is a little tired.
Talking and laughing, the meal was quickly finished.
Of course they were all full.
When they returned to the hotel together, Su Mingcheng saw several "celebrities".
A foreign sports star, male, young.
Four foreign entertainment stars, one male and three female, relatively older.
The five of them chatted and laughed and walked towards the casino.
Of course, they all wore masks and sunglasses, so most people wouldn't recognize them.
But with Su Mingcheng's eyes, he could tell who they were at a glance.
"What are you looking at?" Julie asked.
"Those people were quite strange, and they were wearing masks."
"Maybe they have a cold."
"Yes, maybe he's sick." Su Mingcheng didn't mind his own business.
This is a gambling city. Even sports stars and entertainment stars don't break the law if they come here to gamble.
Return to the hotel and rest for a while.
Everyone also wants to go to the casino to play again.
So I went to the casino again.
By coincidence, Su Mingcheng and the others went to the same casino as those five celebrities.
Divide the chips in Julie's hand.
Let’s bet on size first.
"Mingcheng, buy big or small?" Zhu Li gambled, always letting Su Mingcheng make the decision.
"Buy a small one."
Julie buys a baby.
Julie's parents followed suit and bought a baby.
Su Daqiang and Zhao Meilan also followed suit.
They all thought Julie was lucky when gambling before.
So, when I first started betting, I followed Julie.
Su Daqiang didn't act smart and bought big.
"One, two, four, seven o'clock!"
"One, one, two, four o'clock!"
"Two, two, three, seven o'clock!"
Sure enough, I followed Julie and won several games in a row.
"Let's go play blackjack." Su Mingcheng was not at the same gambling table, constantly winning money.
This can easily cause unnecessary trouble.
No longer betting on big or small, Su Daqiang and the others separated and went to other gambling tables.
Su Mingcheng is still with Zhu Li.
This time the gambling took a long time, and there were losses and wins.
However, with more wins and less losses, Julie has more chips in her hands.
"Mingcheng, do you want more cards?"
"One more piece."
Zhu Li and Su Mingcheng are still gambling.
At this time, a young man wearing sunglasses and a mask walked nearby.
Not someone from the casino, but the foreign sports star from before.
This sports star just lost a million.
If you feel depressed, come out for some air.
He was gambling in the VIP room just now.
After coming out, I happened to see Su Mingcheng and Zhu Li winning money, so I took a few more glances.
Su Mingcheng also noticed that someone was looking at him and Zhu Li.
"Brother, do you want to gamble together?" Su Mingcheng asked. It's in Chinese.
"No more gambling, I just lost one million." This foreign sports star can actually speak Chinese.
"Yeah." Su Mingcheng nodded, said nothing more, and continued to place bets.
Played for a while again.
"Brother, can you lend me a bargaining chip? I'll play with it too." This foreign sports star couldn't help but his hands were itchy.
The one million he lost just now was also borrowed.
This foreign sports star has long lost all his money through gambling.
Then, he borrowed money to gamble, which was because he was addicted to gambling.
"Here." Su Mingcheng threw a few chips over at random.
"Thank you, what do you call me brother?"
"Su Mingcheng."
"I'm Jack."
Without saying anything else, he continued to place bets and gamble.
For some reason, Su Mingcheng and Jack both lost in the next few games.
"Shit." Jack couldn't help but curse. He's out of chips again.
It can be seen that Jack is a violent guy.
Su Mingcheng shook his head and said, "Lili, my luck is not good these days. Let's change the gambling table."
"good."
Changed the gaming table.
Jack did not follow, and Su Mingcheng and Zhu Li won again.
"Mingcheng, Jack was unlucky just now. He sat with us, which caused us to lose." Zhu Li believed that the loss just now was caused by Jack.
"Yes, that man's gambling luck is very bad, and his gambling products are not very good." That Jack said he was borrowing chips, but he had no intention of paying back the money.
Played for a while again.
Su Daqiang and others came over.
They all lost everything.
"Mingcheng, did you win again?" Su Daqiang looked envious. He hopes to win a lot of money through gambling, but he can't.
"It's not bad, you're lucky. Dad, do you still want chips?" Su Mingcheng was about to divide the chips again.
"No need." Zhao Meilan took over, "It's almost time to play, let's go to other places."
"Let's go then." Su Mingcheng changed the chips into money this time.
Just at this time, the five foreign celebrities also left the casino.
"Jack, how much did you lose?" Will asked. He is a foreign singer who is quite famous, but he is a bit old.
"One million." Jack was a little annoyed. He had no money to pay back and was afraid of getting into trouble later.
"Whose money are you borrowing?" Will seemed to know that Jack had no money.
"That's the one."
"That person is not easy to mess with. Remember to pay back the money on time."
"I know." Jack also wanted to pay back the money on time, but he had no money. He was thinking, "Should I borrow some from my girlfriend?"
Jack has a beautiful girlfriend who is also an entertainment star and very rich.
Jack doesn't mind, he eats the soft food hard.
Eating soft food hard seems to be something worth showing off in some men's mouths.
But is this really glorious?
Eating soft food is always the behavior of a 'coward'.
Men, it’s better not to be too cowardly or too soft.
"Will, how much did you lose?" asked Dana, the female star who was traveling with her.
"More than two million." Will is an entertainment star, older and richer than Jack, a sports star. The more than two million lost was not borrowed.
"It's not much, I lost more than three million." Dana seemed to be richer. She is a foreign entertainment star. She is older and debuted earlier. She is just a bit outdated and not very popular.
"I lost more than two million."
"I lost the least, only over 800,000."
These five celebrities all seem to have lost money.
Su Mingcheng heard what they said.
Su Mingcheng shook his head. This foreign sports star was really not doing well. He even borrowed money to gamble and lost it all.
Moreover, his character was not very good. He seemed to have forgotten the chips he just borrowed, and had no intention of saying hello to Su Mingcheng and paying him back.
"Come on, let's go see the Iron Tower."
"The food court over there is good. Let's eat from beginning to end."
Next, Su Mingcheng and the others played around.
During the break, take a couple of bets.
Just spent a few days in the casino.
There are losses and wins in gambling.
But, all in all, I still win a lot.
Su Mingcheng didn't win much money either.
When I finally left, I had won more than 200,000 RMB.
Hong Kong.
A great place for shopping.
Mall.
Zhu Li, Zhu Li's mother, and Zhao Meilan, their eyes shone brightly and they started shopping energetically.
Clothes, shoes, bags, cosmetics, jewelry, etc., after they learned that Su Mingcheng had won more than 200,000 yuan, they all spent it all with one thought.
They didn't have this idea at first, but Su Mingcheng persuaded them, "Shopping here, the more you buy, the more cost-effective it is. The same thing is cheaper here."
Under Su Mingcheng's temptation, Zhu Li and the others went shopping hard.
Teacher Zhu and Su Daqiang followed as "coolies".
Su Mingcheng walked around the mall lazily.
"I'm going out for a walk. See you at that restaurant later."
After saying hello, Su Mingcheng left.
Out on the street.
The street is not wide.
Pedestrians on the road are basically in a hurry.
The tall buildings on both sides are densely packed.
"This place is too crowded."
"Life is not easy for ordinary people here."
"The population density is too high, and the living conditions of ordinary people are very poor."
"What's so good about this place, why do you have to crowd here?"
There are many people who want to settle in Xiangjiang.
These people are not fools. Xiangjiang still has many advantages that are not found in other places.
After strolling around for a while, Su Mingcheng saw a section of road in the distance and blocked it.
I walked over to inquire about it and found out that a movie was going to be filmed here.
Su Mingcheng looked at it curiously.
Not long.
Several celebrities from Xiangjiang and a well-known director appeared.
They are going to shoot a street shootout here.
Su Mingcheng had nothing to do and watched for a while.
"Eh? Isn't that a female star from Daxia?"
"She seems to be a supporting character."
"Recently, she seems to be quite popular, very popular."
Stars come to Hong Kong from time to time to shoot movies in Daxia.
However, these celebrities who came here have been carefully selected, and their popularity has been relatively high recently.
If there was no popularity, the stars of Daxia would not be invited.
Many directors, when looking for people to act, don't look for new people.
They are looking for celebrities who are popular on their own.
The filming was completed quickly.
Road closures have also been lifted.
Su Mingcheng continued shopping.
From time to time, Xiangjiang police can be seen patrolling the streets.
The security in Xiangjiang is generally good.
The scene of police and robbers chasing and escaping that Su Mingcheng was looking forward to did not appear.
"Please take out your ID." A policeman stopped Su Mingcheng.
Su Mingcheng's idle look seemed a bit suspicious.
"Okay." Su Mingcheng casually took out his ID.
Knowing that Su Mingcheng was here for a trip, he said, "I wish you a happy time."
"Thank you." Su Mingcheng was not angry because his ID was checked.
The next day.
Su Mingcheng saw filming a movie again on the street.
A stand-in, dropped from a height.
There was a mat underneath, but the stand-in didn't fall onto the mat.
The double was taken to the hospital.
"Being a stand-in is a very risky job. I seem to have heard of accidents involving stand-ins."
Travel for a few days.
Julie and the others bought a lot of things.
Su Daqiang and Teacher Zhu didn't hold back and started shopping too.
Su Daqiang bought pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
Su Daqiang turned out to be a cultural person.
Teacher Zhu also bought these things.
The two of them have a common hobby.
"Old Su, let's have a good chat when we go back." Teacher Zhu has become much closer to Su Daqiang.
"Definitely, please give me some advice from Teacher Zhu."
“Don’t take advice seriously”
Sioux City.
Su Mingcheng and the others are back.
There are many large and small packages.
Su Mingcheng arranged three cars in advance to take them home respectively.
Wutong Court.
"Hey, little sister, we're back. Your second sister-in-law bought you some things. Come and pick them up when you have time." Su Mingcheng called Su Mingyu.
During the past few days when she went out to play, Su Mingyu called from time to time to express a few words of concern.
"Okay, second brother, I'll go have lunch at noon tomorrow." Su Mingyu seemed busy and didn't say anything.
The next day.
noon.
"Mingyu, come and try on some clothes. I bought you some clothes." Zhu Li took Su Mingyu to try on clothes.
Su Mingcheng is cooking in the kitchen.
"Second sister-in-law, this dress is nice!"
"It's pretty good, and it's also cheap. It's much cheaper than here."
"It's really good. Oh, second sister-in-law still has it? How many of these are there?"
"Not much. Come on, try this one again."
"Second sister-in-law, how much are these clothes?" Zhu Li bought a lot of clothes for Su Mingyu, but Su Mingyu was embarrassed to ask for them for nothing and wanted to give her money.
"It's free for you. Come on, try this cosmetic again."
"Second sister-in-law, this cosmetics is also a big brand, right?"
"Yes, that's it."
"Second sister-in-law, I can't get so many gifts for nothing." Su Mingyu was too embarrassed to give the money. Because Julie did give a lot.
"I won them all from the casino. Your second brother is very powerful." Zhu Li didn't want Su Mingyu's money, saying that the money to buy clothes was all Su Mingcheng won from the casino.
"Second brother, can you still gamble?"
"Yes, your second brother is amazing, he can do everything."
Not long.
"Here, it's time to eat!" Su Mingcheng said hello as he prepared the meal.
Su Mingyu and Zhu Li came over to get the dishes and chopsticks together.
"Second brother, how was your trip?"
"It's not bad. It's a good place to eat, drink and have fun." Su Mingcheng said a few words and talked about Zhao Meilan, "Mom is in a better mood."
Zhao Meilan still had a thorn in her heart.
Zhao Meilan probably couldn't let go of the scandal back then.
However, this cannot be blamed on others.
Zhao Meilan has great face, but that scandal made Zhao Meilan lose face.
This is the 'knot'.
The 'knot' in Zhao Meilan's heart could not be untied.
Didn’t say much about Zhao Meilan.
"Little sister, are you still too busy to eat?" Su Mingcheng asked.
"No, it's just too much socializing."
"Little sister, can't you refuse that kind of entertainment?" Su Mingcheng asked nonsense. Su Mingyu is in sales. If she doesn't go out to socialize, it will be difficult to sign the sales contract.
"Of course not." Su Mingyu smiled bitterly.
Time passes day by day.
Everything seemed to be calm again.
Zhao Meilan and Su Mingyu never contacted or saw each other again.
Su Mingyu has always been in contact with Su Daqiang.
But Zhao Meilan didn't ask a question about Su Mingyu.
But Su Mingyu has always cared about Zhao Meilan.
Either ask from Su Mingcheng, or ask from Su Daqiang.
Zhao Meilan's condition is still not good.
The knot in her heart was difficult to untie.
People always like to take care of themselves.
A few months later.
This afternoon.
"Hey, Mr. Su, there's a breakthrough. Our new technology has a breakthrough!" Su Mingcheng received a call from Wang Weidong.
