Chapter 52: Mistake after Mistake

Zhao Chunming was pushed by Brother Taipa and never came back.

People who have been to the casino have such experience, the more novices may not know how to play, the more chance they have to win, for Zhao Chunming, this first night, not only did he not export the chips that Zhou Jie sent him, but also won more than twice the money back. Look at Brother Taipa and Zhou Jie on the side, they almost lost their pants!

The three of them left the casino when it was almost morning, Zhao Chunming held a heavy chip to the exchange office to exchange for cash, and when leaving, Brother Taipa did not forget to add: "Brother Chunming, how about it? Have fun tonight, right? If you like it, stay in Macau for a few more days, let's come every day!"

Zhao Chunming said with a smile: "I haven't heard of blackjack and stud, I don't know how to play......!" But this baccarat is very enjoyable!"

Brother Taipa said: "Hey, with your brain, there is still something you can't learn? Let's go back and rest first, and then come back in the evening!"

Zhao Chunming did not refuse, and followed Brother Taipa and Zhou Ming.

I was so tired this night, Zhou Jie fell asleep after returning to the room, but Zhao Chunming was still in the mood and did not feel sleepy at all.

Bored, he picked up the phone and tried to call a few girls to play like Zhou Jie did yesterday.

By the time he had his fun, it was almost night, so he simply didn't sleep. Lying on the bed waiting for the night to fall, so that he could show his skills again, he said in his heart: This money is much easier than my hard work to eat and take cards, I knew that there was such a good thing, what kind of official should I be!

What he didn't expect was that good luck didn't befall him tonight.

I saw him and he asked Zhou Jie to finish dinner early, and after eating, the two did not go back to the room, but sat in the lobby of the hotel and waited for Brother Taipa.

That night, he exchanged 200,000 chips at one time, because, in the words of Brother Taipa: starve the faint-hearted, support the bold! Yes, he has always been a very bold man!

After entering, he first played a few handfuls of baccarat, tried to be good, and at the instigation of Brother Taipa, he went directly to the private room in the depths of the casino to play "stud".

Zhao Chunming does not know, stud is different from the previous play of baccarat, baccarat if only the pressure of the banker, although the probability of winning is not very high, but the probability of losing is not very large, for example, if a person only presses "leisure" one night, then it is likely to be a situation that does not lose or win.

But Stud is different, it has more luck components, and it really tests a person's memory, judgment and analysis, so although this kind of gameplay is easy to use, it is confrontational, and it is easier to be fascinated than baccarat!

It was not yet twelve o'clock that night, and Zhao Chunming lost all the 200,000 chips in his hand, but people who are addicted to gambling seem to have such a kind of self-confidence: If I am given another chance, I will definitely win back!

This is just like what Zhou Jie told Zhao Chunming: if you win Jinshan and don't retreat, it means that this person has the right quality, and if you lose your pants and don't surrender, it shows that you have a strong sense of competition!

After Zhao Chunming lost all the chips, he did not hesitate to go to the exchange office to exchange 100,000 chips for a turnaround. ……

By the next morning, Zhao Chunming had already lost 500,000 yuan, although losing 500,000 yuan was not uncommon in Macau, a world gambling city, but Zhao Chunming thought about it afterwards, he felt that he had lost his life!

He lay in bed that morning, and although he still couldn't sleep, he was no longer in the mood to call for fun! When he calmed down, he was more remorseful! He regretted that he shouldn't have been so reckless, but he had caused the current situation, and he was very unwilling!

According to the schedule, Ji Ye will come back from HN today, and he should also go to GD to find Ji Ye, but he is not even in the mood to eat now, let alone go on an errand for the government.

That afternoon, when he was lying on the bed alone, there was a knock on the door, and after Zhao Chunming got up and opened the door, he saw that it was Zhou Jie.

I saw Zhou Jie walk in with a smile and said, "Brother Zhao, you still had a good time last night, we should go back to GD today!"

Zhao Chunming tilted the corners of his mouth to the side, laughed hehehe, and said, "If you lose, it's a lie to you to say that you have fun!"

Zhou Jie said: "Hey! Look at what you said, you are a veteran cadre who has been on the battlefield for a long time, and you don't know that victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers? What is winning or losing for a while, if you lost last night, maybe you will win it back tonight!"

After listening to Zhou Jie's words, Zhao Chunming's eyes revealed a trace of excitement, but it was quickly erased, and he said: "There is no chance to turn the tables, you wait for me, I'll take a shower, and we'll go back to GD in a while!"

Zhou Jie said with a smile: "The road is still long! Who said that there is no chance of turning the tables! If it doesn't work, it will be delayed for a day, anyway, Mr. Ji can only go to GD at night, let's play for a while at night, and go back tomorrow morning, nothing can be wrong when I go back!"

Zhao Chunming said as he walked towards the bathroom: "Forget it, it's better to do business!"

Zhou Jie shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands, and said, "You are the leader, everything will be done according to your wishes!"

Zhao Chunming was in no mood to take a bath, he stood under the shower canopy, twisted the amount of water to the maximum, and poured it down his head, so that he could be sober and sober, this sobriety didn't matter, the more he thought about it, the more unwilling he became, and he also felt that Zhou Jie's time arrangement made some sense.

I saw him screw the faucet on, wrapped a bath towel and pushed the door out, saying, "Fuck, just this night, let's stay for another night to try our luck!"

Zhou Jie was lying on the sofa watching TV, and when he heard Zhao Chunming say this, he sat up straight and said, "Okay!

Zhao Chunming waved his hand and said, "I won't call Brother Taipa tonight, let's just go!"

Zhou Jie said: "Listen to your arrangement, I will be Dong at night, what do you want to eat!"

Zhao Chunming didn't seem to hear Zhou Jie's question, hid back in the room alone, and came out with clean clothes after a while!

The two of them didn't have the heart to eat properly, it was still early, Zhou Jie pulled Zhao Chunming to walk around the streets of Macau, and both of them had the same thought in their hearts: I hope that the time will pass faster and the evening will come early.

That night, when Zhao Chunming walked to the door of the casino and stood in front of the two Pixiu, he bowed reverently. Heart: As long as I win back, I will never gamble again!

……

Sitting on the edge of the hospital bed, Zhao Chunming has been silently telling about his experience in Macau, he ignored the little nurse who changed the infusion bottle for Yan Yuxiang next to him, he seemed very calm at the moment, as if he was telling someone else's story again.

When Zhao Chunming said that he entered the casino again, Yan Yuxiang raised his head and asked, "Did you lose again when you went in that night?"

Zhao Chunming sighed and said, "Lost, not only lost, but also lost nothing!"

Yan Yuxiang asked, "How much did you lose?"

Zhao Chunming stretched out his finger and gestured an eight.

Yan Yuxiang said: "800,000?"

Zhao Chunming said heavily: "Eight million!"

When Yan Yuxiang heard this number, he was very shocked and said, "How can you have so much money, you took it from the government?" He was embarrassed to use the word "greed", so he said it more tactfully.

Zhao Chunming said: "I have five million in my card, and the rest is borrowed from Zhou Jie!" He paused, and added: "Actually, I didn't lose overnight, after I lost money that day, I stayed in Macao for three more days under Zhou Jie's persuasion! The eight million was exported in five days before and after!"

When Yan Yuxiang heard this, he scolded: "What kind of friends are you making, that Zhou Jieren!"

Zhao Chunming heard Yan Yuxiang mention Zhou Jie's name, sighed again, and said: "Alas, this is the most difficult part for me, if it is just a matter of money, I came back and made it up, and I can give it to him, but I am stupid! How could I make such a friend......

……

It turned out that since losing eight million in Macau, he had nothing of value to gamble anymore, so he had to decide to return to GD, hoping that Yoshiba's big list would give him a way out.

But another thing that overwhelmed him was that it was difficult for him to go back to GD on this trip.

Zhao Chunming, who was already addicted to drugs, lost five nights in a row in Macau, he was exhausted, returned to the room, looked at himself in the mirror, who was already disheveled and untidy, and felt indescribably sad, but he had no choice, although he still wanted to turn the tables, but he was embarrassed to borrow money from Zhou Jie again.

He took a shower, lay on the bed, and didn't fall asleep yet, only to hear the doorbell ring, during this time in Macau, only Zhou Jie came to him every day, so he thought that this time would definitely be no exception.

I saw him open the door, and he didn't even look at who was outside the door, but turned his head and walked directly towards the house.

At this time, I only heard someone behind him call him: "Secretary Zhao!"

Zhao Chunming turned around and saw Ji Ye, and this time not only Ji Ye came over, there were seven or eight people standing behind him, and the corridor of the room was full in an instant.

Zhao Chunming didn't expect that it was him, Ji Ye was his God of Wealth, so he said enthusiastically: "Ouch, it turned out to be Mr. Ji! Why did you come to Macau, I will go to GD tonight, are you waiting for me at GD!" he said, stretching out his hand to shake hands.

I saw that Ji Ye didn't answer his words, let alone shake hands with him, but said as he walked inside: "Secretary Zhao still has the heart to go to GD, life here is good!"

It wasn't until all the people poured in that Zhao Chunming saw clearly that there were many acquaintances among them - Brother Taipa, Zhou Jie, and even many "new friends" he met at the gambling table were also standing in it.

Zhao Chunming felt a faint uneasiness in his heart, he sat on the sofa, calmed down, and said, "Zhou Jie, did you bring Mr. Ji to me?"

Zhou Jie said: "Secretary Zhao, don't lie to yourself anymore, you know what we're doing!"

Zhao Chunming let out a cold sweat and said, "What do you mean by this? I don't understand. In front of everyone, he was reluctant to mention that he had borrowed money to gamble.

I only heard Zhou Jie say: "Secretary Zhao, you have been addicted to gambling these days, and your brain is not good, don't you? Don't pretend to be confused, I still owe me 30 million or I borrowed it from Brother Ye, when do you say you will pay it back?"

Zhao Chunming stood up and said, "What 30 million? Isn't it 3 million?"

Zhou Jie smiled and said, "It seems that Secretary Zhao is really confused, you owe me 30 million, and you probably forgot about it yourself, right?" Fortunately, so many people testified, I think you can sign this IOU, right?"

I saw him pause, and pretended to say: "It's not that I don't believe in your Secretary Zhao's character, it's just that our own brothers settle accounts! You say yes?" As he spoke, he took out a note from his pocket and put it on the table with a pen.

Zhao Chunming picked up the note and glanced at it, and saw that it read, "30 million yuan in arrears, and the deadline is six months to pay it off!" He said: "Zhou Jie, you are not kind to do this! No matter how you say it, we are also a lifelong friendship!"

In Zhao Chunming's heart, he probably already knew what a terrible thing was happening now, but he still wanted to fight for it, no matter what method he used, even if he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy! But Ji Ye's group obviously didn't let him prepare this procedure.

Zhou Jie said with a smile: "I said Secretary Zhao, don't pretend to be either, don't pretend either, we are all people who understand, don't worry, I have investigated, the number I filled in must be within your acceptable range, if not, wouldn't our hard work for this year be in vain?"

Zhao Chunming's face was like ashes, he didn't know what to do, he only heard the person who called himself Ji Ye and said: "Secretary Zhao, don't worry, the people under my command all know the rules, as long as you obediently sign this note, I will not only send you back safely, but also let you bring your 'performance', if you don't sign, I'm afraid you will not be able to leave Macao! Secretary Zhao, I am also for your good, you should think about it." ”

……

On the hospital bed, the nurse had already changed the infusion bottle, Yan Yuxiang looked at the little nurse who pushed the door out, and asked, "What is the origin of this group of people?

Zhao Chunming said: "I also learned later, Ji Ye is the head of this group of people, they are specifically blackmailing officials all over the country in this way, what they see is that these officials dare not call the police, and they have a reason, if they don't pay back this money, even if they ask for it through legitimate means, it will make us ruined! I can't take this kind of risk!"

Yan Yuxiang also sighed and said, "Alas, then did you sign it?" He also understands the truth that people are in the rivers and lakes and can't help themselves, Zhao Chunming did wrong at the beginning, and now it has reached the point of no return!

I saw two tears left on Zhao Chunming's cheeks, nodded lightly, and sighed: "Alas......"

Yan Yuxiang asked, "Are you just a question of 30 million now?" The reason why he asked was just a vague feeling that this matter was not over!

Sure enough, I only heard Zhao Chunming say: "Alas...... Brother, I just feel now that everything about money is a small thing, if only it were a little thing!"

I saw Zhao Chunming glance at the watch on the bedside, it was still early, he drank a glass of water, and continued to talk.
