Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Magician or the Little Liar?

In the luxurious VIP room, Tang Yi is playing stud with several well-mannered American men, their style is standard American middle class, polite and polite, especially in the presence of foreigners, they like to show their gentlemanly demeanor even more. The gambling money on the table is not large, and the wins and losses in one night are generally around several hundred thousand dollars, of course, if you are particularly lucky, it is not impossible to lose 10,000 dollars in one night.

Tang Yi has already decided his itinerary to return to China the day after tomorrow, and tonight is probably his last night in Las Vegas.

After playing a few games, Tang Yi's luck was a little unsmooth, so he smiled and apologized to several gamblers and quit the game.

Outside the VIP room, Xiao Qi stood at the door, Ruth was pacing back and forth, talking to people on the phone, seeing Tang Yi come out, Ruth hurriedly hung up the phone, greeted him and said, "Mr. Tang, I don't know where you want to go next?" ”

Tang Yi said: "On the last night, I want to see the real Las Vegas." ”

Ruth was puzzled and said, "I don't quite understand what you mean, isn't what you're seeing now in the real Las Vegas?" ”

Tang Yi smiled: "Playing cards and golf with a few bourgeoisie every day, even if you know Las Vegas?" ”

Ruth suddenly said: "Mr. Tang means he wants to get in touch with the grassroots culture of Las Vegas?" ”

Tang Yi nodded: "Well, meet your American proletariat." ”

Ruth smiled coquettishly, and her charming blue eyes blinked: "I am the standard proletariat in Mr. Marx's doctrine, does Mr. Tang want to live with me for a few days?" Experience the life of the proletariat? Ruth has always been a straight look in front of Tang Yi, after all, this is the prince, and if she is too close, the president will think that she has something wrong, don't look at the president seems to want the prince to spend some romantic nights in a foreign country, but if it is her own close subordinate, she is afraid that she will be fired immediately, Ruth even if she has that heart, she doesn't have that guts, seeing that Tang Yi is about to return to China, and faintly knows Tang Yi's easy-going surname, Ruth finally had the courage to laugh with Tang Yi.

Tang Yi smiled: "I'll go to the bathroom." Turning around and walking towards the corner of the corridor, Ruth just chuckled, but saw Xiao Qi glance at herself, and then followed Tang Yi and left, Ruth felt a sudden in her heart, she, won't tell the president, right?

Tang Yi washed his hands in the bathroom, just pushed the door and walked out, the beautiful shadow in front of him flickered, his arms were grabbed and brought to the corner of the wall, in front of him, leaning against the wall was a pure and beautiful blonde girl, black sundress, crystal high heels, delicate and fair skin, slender and hot figure, delicate and towering nose, blue and deep big eyes, outlining the most Western-style beauty. It's just that now she looked a little frightened, and as soon as she reached out and stuffed a ten-yuan dollar into the upper pocket of Tang Yi's suit, she said anxiously: "Waiter, help me." As he spoke, he pulled Tang Yi in front of her and tried to cover her.

Tang Yi's hanging hand waved slightly, and Xiao Qi slowly stopped approaching, but still vigilantly observed the girl's every move.

The Western girl suddenly hooked Tang Yi's neck and said, "Bow your head, pretend to kiss me, ah, don't really touch me." But it was Tang Yi who was hooked by her, and involuntarily pounced forward, in order not to press on her, Tang Yi grabbed her arm, and the delicate elasticity of the Western girl made Tang Yi sigh in admiration in his heart, and then he was a little helpless, not to mention that he didn't look like a waiter, where do I want to touch you?

Tang Yi lowered his head cooperatively, although he didn't really kiss the Western beautiful girl in front of him, but the faces of the two were close at hand, her big eyes were as clear as Bitan blinked, and the curved and slender eyelashes seemed to be able to scratch Tang Yi's eyelids, knowing that it was a psychological effect, Tang Yi's eyelids were still itchy and jumping, and he smelled her girlish fragrance, and he seemed to be able to feel the girlish fragrance she squirted out on his mouth, Tang Yi was really embarrassed, and pushed her away, and said "no, no, no"

There was a chaotic sound of footsteps around the corner, and a trace of anxiety appeared on the face of the beautiful girl in the West: "Sir, I, I'll give you twenty dollars." As he spoke, he took out a ten-dollar bill from his small satchel and stuffed it into Tang Yi's jacket pocket.

At this moment, at the end of the long corridor, three or four stout men turned around, cursing loudly and pushing open one room after another to see.

Tang Yi couldn't help frowning when he saw the fat man in the lead, it was Sampras. Tang Yi didn't have any good feelings for this rude rascal.

Seeing that Tang Yi did not cooperate with herself, the Western beautiful girl was even more frightened, looked at the door number of the men's bathroom, and reached out to push the door to hide in, but Tang Yi was childlike, grabbed her, and smiled: "Don't be afraid, I will do magic." "I took out two playing cards from my pocket, which were souvenirs of the casino, and I sealed them with gold wire poker.

Tang Yi handed a card to the Western girl, took the other one himself, and said, "Learn from me, it's okay to keep you." As he spoke, he shook the poker next to his face and said, "Can't see me, can't see me, can't see me......"

The beautiful girl was extremely angry, and she looked like she couldn't wait to bite Tang Yi, and she regarded Tang Yi as a psychopath, but she was held by Tang Yi's arm tightly, and she didn't dare to struggle hard to attract attention, and said in a low voice: "Let go of me!" ”

At this time, Sampras and several people had already walked over slowly, and Sampras glanced at Tang Yi and the girl beside him, Sampras was stunned for a moment, his eyes turned, and he fell on Xiao Qi, who was silent in the corner.

The Western girl saw Sampras looking at herself, she was depressed, but she saw him turn her eyes away again, the girl was stunned, and then looked at Tang Yi who was reading words beside her, hesitated slightly, and followed Tang Yi's example, picked up the playing card and dangled it in front of her, muttering: "Can't see me, can't see me, can't see me......"

Sampras waved his hand, and walked past Tang Yi with his subordinates without looking back, as if he really didn't see the two people leaning against the wall.

Waiting for the sound of Sampras and his party coming down the stairs, the Western girl exclaimed "Ah", her small mouth opened slightly, she looked at Tang Yi in confusion and curiosity, and then looked at the poker in her hand, how cute it was to look as cute.

Tang Yi smiled slightly, took out the twenty dollars in his pocket, stuffed it into the girl's hand, and said, "Improvisation, no charge." He took back the poker in the girl's hand: "Goodbye! ”

Looking at Tang Yi's distant back, the Western girl stayed for a long time, suddenly came back to her senses, put her two little hands together at her mouth, and shouted loudly: "Mr. Magician, thank you!" My name is Xueni! ”

Tang Yi was amused, but he didn't look back, raised his hand and shook it, and turned straight through the corridor, leaving the girl with a mysterious back.

Walking down the stairs step by step, Ruth, who came up, smiled: "Didn't Mr. Tang know her thoughts?" ”

Tang Yi shook his head, Ruth looked at Xiao Qi a few steps behind him, and didn't dare to say any more.

…… In the noisy Casa Bracadisco bar, the bizarre lights flickered on and off, fluttering, and the men and women on the dance floor writhed their bodies wildly, and from time to time there were various provocative and ambiguous poses to the men and women on them.

Tang Yi sat at the small round table in the leisure area, drinking beer and shaking his head slightly, this kind of erosive and decadent atmosphere can only be seen in the new century in China, and perhaps, to a certain extent, it also represents social progress.

Tang Yi doesn't like the noisy environment, originally told Ruth that he wanted to see the grassroots culture of the United States is to see the beggars with full surnames on the streets of the United States, the artists who sing with guitars at the station entrance, etc., but Ruth came here, but if he comes, he is safe, how can he finish a large glass of dark beer before leaving, Ruth is not there, of course she is a senior assistant like a billionaire who does not like to come to this kind of occasion, plus Tang Yi said, the last night, I want to go shopping by myself, it is enough to have Xiaoqi alone, Ruth and the president asked for instructions, I went back to the hotel.

Tang Yi couldn't help but think of the girl named Xueni, how could she feel a little familiar, but she couldn't remember who she was, slowly drank the last sip of beer, and stretched out her hand to ask the waiter to pay.

Out of the bar, breathing in the fresh air outside, Tang Yi stretched his waist and said lazily: "I've been a little too rested these days. ”

Knowing that there would be no response, Tang Yi slowly walked down the steps, not far behind him, Xiao Qi also slowly followed, if he hadn't been paying close attention, he wouldn't have seen that this man and woman were actually all the way.

In order not to attract attention, Xiao Qi rented a Citroen and parked it in the parking lot outside the bar.

Xiao Qi went inside to get the car, Tang Yi stood at the exit of the parking lot and waited, a little bored, lit a cigarette, just took a puff, and heard the harsh brake sound in the parking lot, followed by the running sound of "pedaling", Tang Yi turned his head curiously, and immediately couldn't cry or laugh, and saw that the Western beautiful girl he saw in the casino not long ago was panting towards the exit, jumping up and down to take off the crystal high-heeled sandals on his feet while running, behind the girl, three or four big men shouted and chased.

Tang Yixueni, who saw the exit of the garage, was stunned for a moment, and then screamed happily, ran over quickly, and shouted as she ran: "Mr. Magician, help me!" ”

Tang Yi sighed in his heart, this is really a troublesome ancestor.

Xue Nijiao panted and ran to Tang Yi's side, and touched Tang Yi's pocket, "Mr. Magician, quick, quick, where is your magic poker?" Take it out! ”

Tang Yi glanced at the strange strong men chasing behind, knowing that his "magic poker" would not have any effect, and hurriedly said, "You run quickly." Pushed Xue Ni hard, Xue Ni was still hesitating, at this time several strong men had already chased after her, one of the strong men picked up the baseball bat and smashed it at Tang Yi, Tang Yi dodged, Xue Ni screamed, grabbed Tang Yi's hand and ran, Tang Yi smiled bitterly, at this time, no one listened even if he explained, so he had to run with Xue Ni, and he was depressed.

Xue Ni is a girl after all, and she has consumed too much physical strength, she was relieved to see the "magician" just now, but at this time she was out of breath but she couldn't run, Tang Yi sighed helplessly, reached out to pick her up, and ran quickly, don't look at hugging a person, Tang Yi is like a fly, and after a while, she pulled several strong men down a big section, Xue Ni shouted in Tang Yi's arms, because she was picked up by the waist, her skirt slipped to her knees, revealing two calves that were as clear as jade, Tang Yi's hand, one was caught in the crook of her leg,** Naked contact, that is a very sensitive area, although she is running for her life, Xue Ni still feels that her legs are itchy and numb, and there is an indescribable strange feeling, but Tang Yi's other hand is holding her waist, and Xue Ni, who has never been so close to a man, feels that the powerful big hand seems to exude heat, which makes her panic.

Irritated by Xue Ni's struggle and screaming, Tang Yi shouted angrily: "Shut up!" Because Tang Yi was holding this delicate and energetic body, the unique fragrance and surname of the Western girl also made his palms sweat slightly.

Xue Ni was startled and obediently closed her mouth.

On the street, Tang Yi stretched out his hand to hail a taxi, threw Xue Ni into the back seat, and then sat in it himself very quickly.

Seeing several strong men with baseball bats yelling in the back, the taxi driver was so frightened that he didn't have time to ask Tang Yi where the two of them were going, so he hurriedly started the car, and the moment the taxi started, Citroen drove out of the parking lot quickly and followed the taxi far away.

Xue Ni looked at the strong men who cursed loudly from the back window in shock, and saw that they were getting farther and farther away, so she breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and the taxi driver asked, "Where are you going?" ”

"35 Hawaii Road." After Xue Ni finished speaking, her big blue charming eyes looked at Tang Yi and said gratefully: "Mr. Magician, thank you for helping me again, can you come to my house for a cup of coffee?" ”

Tang Yi shook his head, patted the taxi driver on the shoulder, and said, "Put me down at the corner." "He didn't want to mess around with a girl who was in a lot of trouble.

Who knew that not only did the taxi not slow down when turning, but the taxi driver stepped on the accelerator and drove into the fast lane.

The taxi driver tilted his head slightly, and Tang Yi saw clearly that under the baseball cap, it was a black lady, she grinned, showing her snow-white teeth: "Sir, it is very rude to refuse a lady's invitation." ”

Tang Yi was speechless, leaned back on the chair, and then shook his head and smiled, it was quite fun to have a good time tonight.

The taxi drove into a narrow block, slowly stopped, Xue Ni paid the fare and got out of the car, the black elder sister rolled down the front window glass, and smiled innocently at Tang Yi and Xue Ni: "I hope you have a good night." Then he stepped on the gas pedal and the taxi buzzed out.

At the end of the alley, Citroen slowly drove in.

Xue Ni glanced at Tang Yi, pulled Tang Yi into the door, walked upstairs quickly, and whispered, "Didn't you notice that the car in the alley was following us all the time?" ”

Tang Yi smiled, and said in his heart that you are really using your clever energy in the wrong place.

Xue Ni lives on the second floor, a very narrow one-bedroom apartment, which is quite elegant and fashionable, with bright colors, and such a small space is also built with a small wooden bar, which is very in line with the living habits of American petty bourgeois girls.

Xue Ni didn't turn on the lights, walked to the window and opened the curtains to look down, Tang Yi also walked over, under the dim street lamp, Xiao Qi could be vaguely seen talking on the phone in the car, Tang Yi knew that she must have asked her mother if she wanted to follow.

After a while, Xiao Qi hung up the phone, started Citroen, and slowly drove towards the alley, Tang Yi was stunned, and smiled bitterly in his heart, this old mother, is she wishing she had an affair or something?

Xue Ni breathed a sigh of relief, closed the curtains, and muttered, "It seems like a girl with black hair?" It's not looking for me......" and said to Tang Yi: "Ah, Mr. Magician, I'll go and make you a cup of coffee." ”

Xue Ni was happily busy at the bar, and Tang Yi was sitting on the purple sofa, a little bored, flipping up the fashion magazines on the coffee table.

"ihavesoughtlove, first, becauseitbringsecstasy......" the happy and busy Xue Ni hummed softly, a very sweet and crisp sound, extremely beautiful and beautiful.

Tang Yi was stunned suddenly, this song is very familiar, he must have heard it.

Suddenly, Tang Yi had a flash of inspiration in his mind, knowing why he looked at her so familiarly, Xue Ni? Isn't it called Xueni? I have heard her sing this song before, of course, it is the past life in the dream, I occasionally hear this song on the Internet, and I feel pleasant to the ear, such as smelling the sound of heaven, so I desperately looked for this female singer, but I was stunned to find that the female singer died in a car accident more than ten years ago, and she was only seventeen years old when she died, it seems to be 93 years, it is said that because her grandmother who depended on her life was seriously ill, she borrowed a loan shark and encountered a car accident when she was chased by a debt collector.

And she is just a singer-songwriter amateur singer, she has written a few songs by herself, she has not signed a music company, and she has no opportunity to make records, this song was also discovered by an American music expert from the bar where she once performed, and sighed, if Xue Ni had been excavated early, or had not died early, the American music scene would not have Britney Avril and other major singers competing for beauty, but Xue Ni would be outstanding.

"Mr. Magician, try the coffee I brewed." Xue Ni's sweet and crisp voice sounded in her ears, Tang Yi turned her head, a beautiful and charming smiling face was close in front of her, Tang Yi looked at her in a daze, and didn't know what it was like in her heart, she was not like a seventeen-year-old girl, maybe a poor life would always make people precocious.

"Mr. Magician, what's wrong with you?" Xue Ni put the coffee cup on the coffee table and looked at Tang Yi with some doubts.

Tang Yi settled down, maybe he found a treasure?

"Nothing, nothing." Tang Yi concealed, picked up the coffee and took a sip, the taste was very good, the rich and pure fragrance, the mellow and soft taste, it was indeed very good.

"Mr. Magician, why didn't you use magic poker just now?" Xue Ni sat next to Tang Yi and asked Tang Yi curiously, she was very curious about this mysterious oriental youth.

Tang Yi coughed dryly: "My magic trick can only be used three times a day. ”

Xue Ni chuckled, "Then, you're going to perform for me after midnight." ”

"Watch my show? It's expensive! Tang Yi sipped his coffee and said with a smile: "Seeing that your appearance has caused a lot of trouble, do you have any money to give?" ”

Xue Ni blinked her big blue eyes: "Is a hundred dollars enough?" ”

Tang Yi smiled: "It depends on what kind of magic it is!" ”

"Well, I'll think about it." Xue Ni stepped on the sofa with her knees crossed, and the delicate yellow anklets sounded softly on her beautiful and smooth ankles, and she looked down and had an idea, pointing to the ankles and saying, "I want to see it fall off on its own." ”

Tang Yi shook his head: "It's too unchallenged!" But he hurriedly took his eyes off her charming feet.

Xue Ni noticed Tang Yi's movements, blinked her blue eyes, and chuckled in her heart, are you really a magician?

"Well, then I'm going to have a city-wide power outage." Xue Ni smiled and gave Tang Yi a problem.

Tang Yi scratched his head: "This is too difficult!" A hundred dollars can't do it! ”

Xue Ni snorted softly: "Little liar, you Orientals are so cunning. ”

Tang Yi smiled: "That's it, I'll fulfill your wish, and after twelve o'clock, you'll know if I'm a liar or not." Say, what you would most like to do. ”

The look in Xue Ni's eyes dimmed, and she lowered her head slightly: "I, I hope that grandmother will get better soon." ”

Tang Yi was stunned, but she didn't expect that her greatest wish would be her grandmother's illness, but she was a kind-hearted girl.

Tang Yi sighed lightly: "There is a proverb in our East, life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, birth, old age, sickness and death are not something I can control, but whether your grandmother's illness can get better depends on your efforts." ”

Xue Ni bit her lip: "It's just that you can't help my grandmother heal, I knew you were a little liar." Being hooked by Tang Yi to tell her heart, Xue Ni felt uncomfortable and was a little dissatisfied with Tang Yi.

Tang Yi said helplessly: "Don't you have any other wishes?" ”

Xue Ni said angrily: "Then I want to become a contracted singer, make a lot of money, and treat my grandmother, can you do your magic?" ”

β€œbingo!” Tang Yi snapped his fingers, stood up, and said, "That's it!" Get the money! ”

Xue Ni froze, and when she saw Tang Yi smiling at herself, she stretched out her hand, so she had to pick up her wallet, take out a hundred dollars from it and hand it to Tang Yi.

Tang Yi smiled and said, "Xueni, goodbye, I wish you success!" He walked towards the door.

Xue Ni was stunned, caught up with two steps, and said reluctantly: "Little liar, are you leaving?" ”

Tang Yi said: "I'm not going to work, wait, after 12 o'clock." Walking out of the door, he turned around and smiled: "Xueni, you will succeed, I'm afraid you will hate me in the future!" He closed the door softly.

Xue Ni was stunned for a while, ran to the window and looked out, but there was Tang Yi's figure somewhere.

Slowly sitting back on the sofa, Xue Ni suddenly realized and chuckled, little liar, just deceived me for a hundred yuan! Hmph, no wonder I'm going to hate you in the future.

Xue Ni picked up the cute Shar Pei dog on the sofa, slapped it lightly, and couldn't help but smile lightly, then remembered her grandmother's condition, couldn't help sighing, and slowly leaned back on the sofa.

The bell rang at twelve o'clock, and the dazed Xue Ni opened her eyes, stood up and stretched, ready to go back to the bedroom to sleep.

"Ding Dong", the doorbell rang, Xue Ni was startled, it couldn't be a debt collector coming to the door, right? Crept to the door, looking out from the cat's eye, outside, was a beautiful woman with a surname, and behind her, stood a personable middle-aged man. These two people don't look like usurers in any way.

The beautiful woman seemed to know that Xue Ni was secretly spying on her, took two steps back, took out her business card and held it up, Xue Ni could see clearly, "Ruth, special administrative consultant of the Grand New York Hotel?" Williams".

Xue Ni hurriedly opened the door, and Ruth smiled: "It's Miss Xue Ni, I'm the special administrative consultant of the New York Hotel, you can call me Ruth." He pointed to the middle-aged man beside him: "This is James, our witness lawyer for this negotiation." ”

Xue Ni was confused.

Ruth said: "I want to sign a contract with you this time, I hope you can become a signed singer in our hotel's bar, if the market response is good, we will cooperate with relevant music companies to release records and concerts for you, you can see the conditions we offer." If you are satisfied, we can sign immediately, James is an expert in this area, and if you don't know the terms, you can consult his professional advice. As one of the most prominent lawyers in Las Vegas, I don't think you would question his impartiality and professionalism. As he spoke, he handed a stack of papers to Shelly.

Xue Ni opened her mouth wide in surprise, unable to speak.

…… In room 5301 of the New York Hotel, Xiao Jinhua looked at Tang Yi with a smile and asked, "Are you sure you don't like that girl named Xueni?" ”

Tang Yi sat helplessly on the sofa, this is the third time that my mother has this problem.

"Okay, no, it's not, what kind of kid temper is it!" Xiao Jinhua sat beside Tang Yi with a smile and touched Tang Yi's head lovingly.

Tang Yi was speechless, and then asked a little puzzled: "Mom, why didn't you ask me why I signed her?" ”

Xiao Jinhua smiled: "The hotel is yours, you can toss as much as you like." ”

Tang Yi was even more depressed, as if he was messing around. But come to think of it, this business was done, and Ruth was temporarily given a position as a special administrative assistant, and she did it neatly, and in less than an hour she prepared the contract documents and rushed to Shelly's residence.

A ten-year long contract with a fixed annual salary of 100,000 US dollars, Tang Yi smiled slightly, in the past ten years, I don't know how much value Xue Ni will create, but it is expected that within a year, Xue Ni will hate this long contract.

In fact, Tang Yi signed Xue Ni not to squeeze Xue Ni, but mainly to help Xue Ni, after all, a musical genius, it is a pity to fall like this, but there must be a return for paying, and it is natural to earn her some money, and Tang Yi is not too much, the additional terms indicate that 10% of the record profit is reserved for Xue Ni, which is a very good sharing ratio for new singers.

Tang Yi also hopes that his mother can take the opportunity of signing Xue Ni to get in touch with the entertainment industry, after all, there is a lot of cash, and it is too wasteful not to make some investments.

"Mom, what are you going to do if Xue Ni sings well?" Tang Yi provoked the conversation.

Xiao Jinhua smiled slightly: "What if you sing brilliantly or not?" My stupid son wants to support the mother, can she not care? ”

Tang Yi let out a wail, lying on the sofa and didn't bother to speak.

Xiao Jinhua Ge Jiao laughed, sat down and hugged Tang Yi's head into his arms, and said with a smile: "Forget it, I won't tease you, otherwise you will be afraid of your mother, and it will be miserable if you don't come to see me again." Just now, I've called New York to help me contact the record company to buy a record company, and I've always trusted your vision. ”

Tang Yi was speechless and said, "Then you don't need to rush to buy a record company, you haven't been in contact with this business." ”

Xiao Jinhua smiled: "It's just a matter of buying a small-scale and potential company, don't worry, even if it's for your little lover, my mother's mind won't be hot, do you think I'm going to compete with Sony's big record companies now?" ”

Tang Yi was relieved at this time, but the little lover who opened his mouth and closed his mouth to his mother was already numb.

…… Ruth has been gone for a long time, but Xue Ni still can't get out of the surprise, isn't it a dream? A contract of one million in ten years? And a million one-time surname payment?

Grandmother can go to the best hospital and get the best doctor.

Moreover, I will have the opportunity to release a record, and if the sales are good, I can hold a concert?

Aren't these all your dreams?

Xue Ni laughed and jumped excitedly, and made a fuss for a while, before slowly sitting on the sofa, gently picking up the cute little Shar Pei, pinching the nose of the Shar Pei, and slowly taking it into her arms.

In front of him, the mysterious smile of the delicate young man appeared, and Xue Ni muttered to herself, little liar, are you really a magician? Is it the magician who ignited the color of my life?
