284: Chapter 284: One Billion Gamble (Part 2) 284: Chapter 284: One Billion Gamble (Part 2) “How long has it been, he must have won at least twenty million by now?!”

“More than that.”

At the Royal Hotel Casino, a businessman and his wife, invited to the charity dinner, were slightly shocked as they eyed the large pile of chips in front of Lin Fei and couldn’t help but whisper.

This couple, also invited to the charity dinner, originally played at the same table as Lin Fei, but later, overpowered by Lin Fei’s presence, they retired from the game.

Initially, they were somewhat reluctant, but after witnessing Lin Fei defeating one opponent after another and the chips accumulating in front of him, they had long since lost their reluctance and were only shocked by Lin Fei’s strength and luck.

Twenty million, for the celebrities attending the charity dinner, wasn’t a very significant number.

Among the attendees, any random person’s fortune could easily be in the billions.

There were even those whose fortunes reached tens or hundreds of billions.

Twenty million, in the circles of ordinary people, might attract quite a bit of attention.

However, among the businesspeople invited to this charity dinner, it was just the number two followed by several zeros.

Yet in reality, the twenty million in chips before Lin Fei did attract a lot of attention from the businesspeople at the charity dinner.

The reason being that when Lin Fei joined the table, he only had a hundred thousand in chips.

From a hundred thousand to twenty million, Lin Fei had taken just five minutes!

Five minutes, twenty million!

What drew the attention of the businesspeople at the charity dinner wasn’t the amount Lin Fei won, but the speed at which he won it!

Although many businesspeople were casually following the bets without playing seriously, the process didn’t lessen the shock of the onlookers at the speed of Lin Fei’s winnings.

Inside the casino, many of the onlooking businesspeople were skilled operators.

For them, experiencing fluctuations in the stock market of hundreds of millions or even billions within a minute was not uncommon.

However, fluctuations in the stock market happen every day.

This kind of speed of winning twenty million in five minutes on a gambling table was something all the onlooking businesspeople were seeing for the first time, inevitably leading to some astonishment.

That was precisely because the onlooking businesspeople were aware that the charity dinner was organized by Gu Lanzi, the influential deputy leader, and that the money won at the gambling table was to be donated.

Otherwise, someone might have already been unable to restrain themselves and slammed the table, accusing Lin Fei of cheating.

“All in.”

Regardless of what the onlookers thought, Lin Fei chose to go all in again.

“I fold.”

Lin Fei’s last remaining opponent at the table, a trading tycoon from Zhonghai, evidently didn’t possess the same daring as Lin Fei.

He glanced at his cards and chose to fold.

During the deal of a new hand, Lin Fei briefly glanced at his cards and a meaningful smile appeared on his lips.

Unsurprisingly, he chose again — “All in.”

“I fold.”

Deal, look at cards.

“All in.”

“I fold.”

…

Deal, look at cards.

“All in.”

“I call!”

After an unknown number of foldings, the temple-haired tycoon finally chose to follow the hand.

The cards were revealed, Lin Fei won.

“Wow!”

“Master!”

“Brilliant!”

A crowd of business entrepreneurs, invited to the charity dinner, complimented Lin Fei’s victory.

Eight minutes, forty million!

“Miss Mu Shanshan, considering your husband’s performance, I strongly suggest you reward him with a kiss.

Of course, if you find it inconvenient now with so many people around, the reward can be postponed until you get home.”

The forty million in chips and the high praises from the surrounding entrepreneurs didn’t attract much of Lin Fei’s attention.

Compared to those chips, he, as a high-ranking official, cared more about the attitude of his CEO wife, Mu Shanshan, towards his winning money.

Unsurprisingly, in response to Lin Fei’s unreasonable request for a kiss by using winning money as bait, Mu Shanshan did not provide much positive reaction, merely rolling her eyes in annoyance.

It’s not just about those chips that are meant to be donated anyway.

Even if it were a real forty million in cash placed in front of her, President Mu, it would still be impossible to exchange for a kiss from her.

It’s not about her typically aloof nature; the main point is, President Mu—knows how to make money and isn’t short of it!

This is why, with Lin Fei, this inexpensive husband, if another man dared to talk about money in terms of love in front of President Mu, the response would definitely not be as simple as an annoyed eye roll.

Of course, up to now, apart from Lin Fei, no other man dared to tease President Mu so casually.

Even with Lin Fei, whom she married, she obviously wouldn’t let him tease her carelessly.

This was just because Lin Fei, as her cheap husband, hadn’t lost her money but, instead, had won forty million.

Of course, the main issue was that the setting was inappropriate.

If the two were alone, Mu Shanshan would probably coldly respond to Lin Fei with “stay wherever it’s cool.”

Knowing his CEO wife’s temperament well, Lin Fei playfully teased her and then, scanning the audience with a slightly raised lip, spoke slowly, “If no one is willing to play with me anymore, I might just donate this money.”

Following the tycoon who lost twenty million to Lin Fei’s departure, only Lin Fei remained at the large gambling table.

Indeed, among the audience, there were quite a few with substantial fortunes.

Some even enjoyed gambling occasionally.

However, overwhelmed by Lin Fei’s aura, coupled with the fact that the stakes were their own money, which could not be taken away if won, fewer and fewer people were willing to gamble with Lin Fei as his winnings increased.

“Ten seconds, I’ll wait just ten seconds.

If no one joins within ten seconds, I will donate the money immediately.”

The build-up was almost perfect, and naturally, Lin Fei was ready to start fishing for players.

Clap!

Clap!

Clap!

“Vice Minister Lin is in good luck, no wonder he captured President Mu’s heart.

It’s rare for Vice Minister Lin to have the opportunity to attend Gu’s charity dinner.

Forty million is nothing; since no one else is willing to show face to Vice Minister Lin, I’ll play with you!”

Before ten seconds had passed, Fang Wenxi, in a white suit, with a faint smile on his lips, clapped his hands and stepped out from the crowd.

Ten minutes, and Fang Wenxi appeared!

“It’s rare, Fang, that you’re so sensible.

I’m happy today; forty million is not enough for a good game.

We should raise the stakes.

Speaking of which, your sister-in-law mentioned regretting giving you Meishilin.

Since you’re willing to play, why don’t we stake Meishilin, unless you’re unwilling to part with it?!”

“How do you want to play?!”

In front of so many celebrities, Lin Fei’s repeated casual address as “little Fangzi” could force Wenxi to show submissiveness, but that would mean Wenxi was not really the Fang Family’s young master.

“Very simple,—as I know, your Fang Family spent almost a billion acquiring Meishilin.

So, I’ll put up a billion.

If you win, I’ll give you a billion.

If you lose, Meishilin goes to me.

How’s that?!”

At Lin Fei’s words, the entire audience was shocked!
