The inscription below the design drawing of the garden-style building is "Qiao Xuan", and the inscription of the design drawing of the skyscraper in the sky garden style is "Qiao Guanlin", which is the name of Qiaoqiao's parents, Meng Xinghui admires their talent, and frankly says that he is very interested in these two designs, and the idea of building the Starry Sky Building has been in the plan since the establishment of Starry Sky Entertainment, and he can realize the design of Qiaoqiao's father, so that the Starry Sky Building will become such a sky-garden building, so that the world will pay attention to it.

Recently, Meng Xinghui also has the idea of changing to a bigger home, this matter has not been mentioned yet, because he feels that he is not very anxious, but at this moment he has seen the classical manor design of Qiao's mother's garden layout, but he likes it very much, this garden bridge and flowing water, winding paths and secluded paths, every brick and tile are unique, even if you just look at the pictures, you already feel beautiful, vulgar thoughts are all gone, if you are in it, live in such an environment every day, if you feed a few cranes and sika deer or something, It's a fairyland of myths and legends.

Qiaoqiao is right, the cost of these two buildings must be astronomical, and ordinary people will definitely not spend so much money to build such a building, which is purely a money-burning behavior, so Qiaoqiao's parents put these two works that implement the essence of their design concepts on the shelf, just as an unfinished dream to preserve, or more helpless, but also a very realistic approach, these two designs are also the same as some peerless paintings, only when you meet a bosom friend can you appreciate it, just a bosom friend is not enough, You have to have enough financial strength to turn it into a reality, and Meng Xinghui is just such a person, he likes these two sets of designs very much, and he also has enough financial resources to operate.

Qiao's mother's garden-style manor design is more exquisite than the traditional Suzhou garden layout, and some design elements of European-style classical manor are added, so that the overall pattern is more magnificent, and a little more fashionable, although the style of Chinese classical architecture and European classical architecture is not the same, but the most amazing thing about Qiao's mother is that the two are perfectly integrated, without the slightest sense of chaos that some mediocre craftsmen do not have to be foreign, mixed and matched, but layered, Chinese and Western, forming a unique pattern, This is the biggest difference between art and design masters and ordinary craftsmen, Meng Xinghui is imagining, if his home is like this, his beloved women are like the women in the Grand View Garden, each living in a small building, giving birth to a bunch of children, nothing to do in this big garden to stroll and play, enjoy the joy of family, what a comfortable life it should be. That's right, that's it, he used this design drawing, although it will cost a lot of money, not to mention anything else, the scale of this manor alone requires a large piece of land, which is simply a luxury thing in Shenhai, where every inch of land is expensive, but it is impossible for a manor like this to be built in the urban area, Meng Xinghui is ready to build it not far from the sea, and you can enjoy the sea view if you have nothing to do.

In addition, he not only wants to make Star Entertainment an aircraft carrier in the world's entertainment companies, standing on the top of the world, but also hopes that the Star Building is also a unique building in the world, so that everyone can immediately think of the Star Tower when they mention Star Entertainment, and want to go to the scene to watch, he wants to make the Star Tower more famous than the Eiffel Tower, this sky garden-style design is his appetite, and the implementation of the concept of environmental protection and green oxygen is the trend of today, at this moment, He decided on a plan to adopt Jojo's father's blueprint.

Originally, in Qiaoqiao's narrative, he didn't have any good feelings for the evil Qiao's father, but from this design drawing, he felt this person's extraordinary talent, and when he had the opportunity to meet, he could observe it, if his conscience was not completely extinguished, then for Qiao Qiao's sake, he would also have to pull him along, since this design was his lifelong dream, it could help him re-establish his architectural affairs, and then hand over this building and manor to him to be responsible, so just these two businesses, It can already make him a lot of money, probably more than all the money he has made before.

He was about to share the idea with Jojo, but he heard a knock on the door outside, "Bang Bang

"Who, here......" Grandma Qiao glanced out of the small window on the door, and hurriedly opened the door, only to see a middle-aged man with messy hair, a full beard, and crumpled clothes, who looked like a beggar, staggered into the door, and turned around to bolt the iron door.

Although there was a distance apart, Meng Xinghui could see clearly that there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, and there were bruises between his eyebrows and eyes, which were obviously caused by being beaten.

Meng Xinghui can almost conclude that this person is Qiao Qiao's father, Qiao Guanlin, if it were someone else, Grandma Qiao would not let him in so easily, and the scars on his face were probably hit by the creditors of those casinos.

"Bastard, after so many days of going out, you still know how to go home?" Grandma Qiao said fiercely, but when she saw her son's miserable situation like a beggar, her heart was like a knife, once upon a time, he was still the pride in the eyes of his parents, a high-achieving student of the Department of Architecture of Tsinghua University, and his career was booming, he married a fairy-like wife, and gave birth to a lovely daughter like an angel, and the neighbors and relatives who saw her Granny Qiao had to give a thumbs up, praising her for her good fortune, and giving birth to a good son that everyone envied, but life is really impermanent, just eight years have passed, everything has changed from the bottom to the bottom, His son has changed from a proud son of the sky to a bad gambler, lost all his property, forced his wife, lost his happiness, and lost his life.

"Mom, stop scolding, I'm hungry." Qiao Guanlin didn't have the face to look at his mother, he sat down on the broken sofa with his head drooped, and said in a sullen voice.

Grandma Qiao sighed, didn't want to say anything more, dragged her heavy steps to the kitchen, ready to cook a bowl of egg noodles for her son to eat, looking at his appearance, I don't know how many days I haven't eaten.

Qiao Qiao heard the voice, and just as her luggage was also packed, she stopped what she was doing and walked out, and Meng Xinghui followed into the living room.

"Dad, are you back?" Although Qiao Guanlin has become like this, Qiao Qiao still seems very happy to see her father, her memory still retains those beautiful pasts in her childhood, at that time, her father's love for her is not inferior to that of any great father in this world, many times, Qiao Qiao lives with these memories.

"Oh, Qiao Qiao......" Seeing his daughter, Qiao Guanlin's eyes dodged, and he looked embarrassed and clumsy, just from his series of expressions and movements, Meng Xinghui could conclude that his conscience had not been completely extinguished, at least when facing his mother and daughter, he still felt guilty, such a person still has medicine to save him, deep in his heart, there must be a small flame, as long as this cluster of small flames is ignited, he can rekindle his enthusiasm for life, Meng Xinghui knows that for Qiao Guanlin, That little flame was his dream.

He took a step forward and said with a smile: "Hello Uncle Qiao, I am a friend of Qiao Qiao, my name is Meng Xinghui, it is a pleasure to meet you." ”

Meng Xinghui's appearance startled Qiao Guanlin, and he stood up suddenly, his eyes were full of vigilance, and said, "Qiao Qiao...... When did you meet a friend like yours? I'll tell you...... Don't try to deceive our daughter, she's young and simple, but I'm not that easy to deceive......"

Qiao Qiao hurriedly said: "Dad, don't talk nonsense, the eldest brother is my savior, the one I told you before, the brother who saved me in Biyunxuan......"

Qiao Guanhua was stunned for a moment, then touched his head curtly, and said: "Oh, that's the case, thank you so much, Mr. Meng, I'm not angry as a father, my daughter let her go out to work at such a young age, if it weren't for you, Qiao Qiao might have a big accident, then I would have died, and I couldn't explain it to her mother......"

At this time, Grandma Qiao brought a bowl of hot egg noodles, although there were guests present, but Qiao Guanlin didn't care about etiquette, he pounced like a hungry wolf, snatched the noodles in Grandma Qiao's hand, picked up the chopsticks and pulled them into his mouth, and he didn't hesitate to make a splash on the hot ground.

Seeing Qiao Guanlin's ferocious appearance, Meng Xinghui secretly shook his head, a talented architect, because of the word "gambling", he actually fell into such a miserable situation, it is really embarrassing, the word "gambling" is not shallow.

Meng Xinghui previously learned the gambling skills from the flying knife killer "Plum Blossom J", and knew all kinds of methods in the casino, the so-called masters, can not escape three words, "remember", "calculate" and "cheat", remember is memory, but all casino masters, all are excellent memory, can easily remember the order of a deck of cards, can also remember the rest of the card players play what cards, and then calculate in mind, what cards the other party has in their hands, what cards to eat, what cards to fear, and then for the surname of the card, proficient in card counting and card counting, in the eyes of ordinary people, It's already a master, but if you want to become a real casino master, you have to be proficient in the last word: "cheat"!

Deception in the casino is also called a thousand arts, in the casino to deceive out of a thousand, but where the real master duel, is more clever than who out of a thousand means, which also includes psychological tactics, language and expression of the confusing surname, the cooperation of accomplices, as well as their own eyesight, ear power, and hand speed, in Hong Kong gambling films, often see the gambling master to change the footage, this is already the highest level of a thousand arts, you can change the decay card in your hand for the required card, this is not only the hand speed, but also think about how to avoid the eyes of others, And even modern surveillance machines.

Meng Xinghui's current realm is already a top thousand, although he studied under Meihua J, but he is a genetically optimized super human, whether it is memory, calculation ability, or eyesight, ear power, hand speed, all throw off the ordinary people seventeen or eighteen streets, now if you let Meihua J and him PK, you can be won by Meng Xinghui There are no briefs left.

A gambler like Qiao Guanlin, who has no skills and simply wants to rely on luck to turn over, is the lowest level of the food chain in the casino, even if he is a little old man, he can eat him to death, the most important point is that you are simply playing cards by luck, but people are lying to you, it is equivalent to you blindfolded and playing hide and seek with a person with open eyes, if you can win, then there will be a ghost.

Many onlookers think that gamblers are stupid, knowing that the casino is full of traps, why do they want to jump into it? But the people in it don't think so, because they stay in the casino every day, witness the miracle of getting rich overnight, and also see different people win money in front of them, although the vast majority of them are out of the thousands, but they can't see it, they can't see it, it's easy to believe it, even if an intellectual with a high IQ like Qiao Guanlin still can't break this dilemma.

Meng Xinghui pondered whether to personally take Qiao Guanlin to the casino to see and understand, on the one hand, to teach those who deceived him, on the other hand, to let him really understand what the so-called gambling is all about, when he really understands that the masters he admires, the lucky people, are just cheating him every day, he should be dead to this matter.

In a short time, Qiao Guanlin ate a large bowl of egg noodles cleanly, choked until he was full of burps, Qiao Qiao handed over a glass of warm boiled water, Qiao Guanlin took it, tilted his neck and poured it down, and after drinking, he burped greatly.

From Qiao Guanlin's point of view, he could just see the packed luggage in Qiao Qiao's room, and after he had eaten and drunk enough, he finally noticed this situation and asked puzzledly: "Qiao Qiao, where are you going?" ”

Qiao Qiao glanced at her father, not knowing how to answer, and asked her to tell her father in person that she was going to leave this house and go with another man, which was really hard to say.

Meng Xinghui said: "Uncle Qiao, I don't know if you know clearly, Qiaoqiao's current situation is very unsafe, there are often some hooligans who find Qiaoqiao, collect debts from her, and threaten her, just today, she was even kidnapped, if I hadn't arrived in time, she might have had an accident, if she was allowed to stay here again, she might still be in danger, so I asked my grandmother's opinion, recognized her as a sister, prepared to take her with her to protect her, and change her to a better school, So that she can live in a safer environment, you happen to be here today, just to ask for your opinion, what do you think of such an arrangement? ”

When Meng Xinghui said these words, Qiao Guanlin's head was always lowered, he knew that most of Qiao Qiao's troubles were caused by him, if it wasn't for his gambling debts, how could those hooligans find their daughter? Now he has lost his dignity, and even he doesn't treat himself as a person, even if he is hacked to death on the street tomorrow, it will be a relief for him, his mother and daughter are the last concern in his heart, he has never known that those who lent him money have been harassing his daughter, if he knew, he would rather be hacked to death by them.

He actually wanted to die for a long time, the reason why he still survived was to turn over the book, as long as he paid off those gambling debts, he could die peacefully, if he died now, then the debts left behind, those people would definitely not let go of his mother and Qiaoqiao, however, the more he wanted to turn over the book, the more he lost, if it wasn't for the last trace of conscience he had, he would have exported his mother's house a long time ago, but he didn't, he couldn't let his mother and daughter sleep on the streets, so this house was his last bottom line, Even if someone wants to cut off his kidney to pay off the debt, he can't lose the house.

Qiao Guanlin pondered for a moment and said, "When I came up, I saw a Rolls-Royce Phantom parked at the bottom of our building, that's your car, right?"

Although this gambler looks down, his previous knowledge has not been discarded, and he still knows famous cars like Rolls-Royce.

Meng Xinghui nodded and said, "That's right, it's mine." ”

Qiao Guanlin nodded and said: "I guessed, in this community, it is difficult to see a famous car of this level, depending on your expression, you are either rich or expensive, and it is more compatible to drive such a car." Don't worry, I didn't mean anything to ask you like this, although I Qiao Guanlin is down, but I still have my own bottom line, the old mother and daughter are my last concern, if they can live better, I will die immediately and be at ease, I ask you this to make sure that you have the ability to take care of them, now I am relieved, Qiao Qiao, my good daughter, Dad is sorry for you, Dad doesn't know those goddamn bastards to find you, rest assured, they won't go to you again in the future, I won't allow them to do this! Good daughter, go with this brother, Dad can see that he is a good person, take your grandmother, go with him, go far away, and never come back! Mr. Meng, please treat my daughter well, don't bully her in the future, she is a good boy......"

Meng Xinghui saw Qiao Guanlin saying these words as if he had confessed his last words, and in a flash, he had already guessed Qiao Guanlin's thoughts, after arranging his relatives, he must have gone to those creditors to work hard, to pay off his debts with his life, to end his life, just to ask his mother and daughter to no longer be dragged down by him, in fact, he guessed correctly, Qiao Guanlin thought like this.

Meng Xinghui was about to say something, when there was another knock on the door outside, "knock knock" fast and urgent.

"Qiao Guanlin, I know that your kid is at home, hurry up and come out for me, and if you continue to be a shrinking turtle, I will burn your house with a fire......" An arrogant voice shouted outside the door, unscrupulous.

"These bastards!" Qiao Guanlin clenched his fists, his teeth were gritted, and he was about to rush out, but Grandma Qiao hurriedly grabbed him and said in a wailing voice: "Lin'er, what are you going to do?" Let's just pretend that we're not at home, don't respond, they'll be gone in a while!"

At this time, Meng Xinghui said with a smile: "Grandma, it doesn't matter, I went out with Uncle Qiao and solved this matter." ”
