During the Republic of China, Shanghai was rampant with tobacco and drugs, **** prevailed, gambling became a trend, ten miles of foreign markets became a drunken gold fan of the treasury, brothels and casinos were lined up, and many foreign gambling merchants set foot in Shanghai, hoping to make a fortune.

It is not easy to manage a large luxury casino, and in order to be able to get started faster, Hua Ting worked as a supervisor in Bai Qihong's casino called "Las Vera" for a whole month; It turns out that the casino is really a wonderful place, where someone comes in with a radiant face, but goes out in a state of decay, and then after a while the person disappears.

For the aristocrats of Shanghai, the casino is an adventurous and mysterious place, and almost all the rich people in Shanghai will want to come to the casino to experience it, either drunk and dreaming of death, or defeated.

Bai Qihong's casino receives an average of 5,000 gamblers every week, ranging from small gamblers to gamblers who spend a lot of money.

In this month, Hua Ting's eyes have been opened in the process of being in prison, there are those who gamble by private jet, and there are also rich people who are reluctant to blink their eyes after losing millions of dollars; There are losers who want to earn some living expenses with a fluke mentality, but even lose all their capital; There are also cheating street gamblers, and that is when she comes out of town.

After some strict rectification, Las Vera's casino rules were gradually strictly regulated.

For example, every time a gambler touches a chip, the back of his hand must be turned over to the dealer or the man in black, indicating that you are not hiding the chips; If something falls on the ground, pick it up again (usually out of the usual means), but also to the dealer or the man in black to check, if the drop is a chip, you need to call the supervisor here; Even if someone just stuffs a candy in the palm of your hand, you have to spread out your palm to the dealer or the man in black, but it's a pity that there is no camera in this era, so there is no need for such trouble.

If cheats and cheats are caught, they will not only be dealt with according to Bai Qihong's rules, but also be blacklisted in the casino; The entire Las Vera is controlled by a handful of Shanghai tycoons, and once it is blacklisted, it will not be able to enter the various large-scale casinos in Shanghai for the rest of its life, as well as some small private gambling houses on the streets; This is undoubtedly the most cruel punishment for those who have a gambling habit.

Hua Ting sat in Bai Qihong's dedicated office on the second floor, looking through the account book of the Las Vera casino in his hand for nearly half a year, and the casino manager A Yao was standing behind the chair of the mahogany rattan chair, leaning over slightly to give appropriate advice.

Hua Ting, who has always had a headache when she saw numbers, was dizzy by the dense huge numbers on every page in the ledger, and when she raised her eyes slightly, her eyes turned to the leaves of the two pots of emerald green asparagus in the shady corner of the office, and suddenly remembered the inspector and her grandfather.

I don't know how the inspector is doing recently, and Sister Yiran has achieved positive results? Have you been chased and killed by Bai Qihong?

After listening to his thoughts, he thought slylyly, if he had played a well-behaved and sensible daughter by Bai Qihong's side for a long time, a daughter who never dared to disobey him and make any decisions, a daughter who stood on the same front as him, and a daughter who resolutely expressed his stance of moving closer to Japanese imperialism, would he choose an appropriate time to completely transfer the opium business to her? After all, Bai Qihong is such a daughter as her, and the huge industry behind him is not transferred to her, who else will there be? It can't be Ding Sicheng, right?

And the premise for Hua Ting to get this right is to follow his wishes.

The shoulders sank, Hua Ting came back to her senses suddenly, Jian Yi didn't know when to walk to her side, and leaned down slightly and swept the pages of the account book in her hand a few times and said, "Study so seriously, what do you want to be fascinated by?" ”

"I want to be handsome."

"Dare to ask which handsome guy it is?"

"It's not you anyway."

Manager Ah Yao saw that the two of them were quite flirtatious, so he walked away with a sense of humor.

The assassination of the Japanese official in the café that day, although Jane refused to admit it, made Hua Ting have a new understanding of him. This ambiguous government dignitary wandering in the gray area, it seems that the character value is not as low as she imagined, and the shooting of Japanese officials twice made Hua Ting faintly aware of the unusual identity of Jian Yi.

However, this does not mean that she is willing to marry him.

More often, she remembered those hot eyes under the cold moonlight.

"Sister Hua, why don't we talk about the marriage between us?"

Hua Ting retracted his empty thoughts and met his gaze.

"Two words, don't marry."

In recent months, Hua Ting has taken care of the Las Vera casino, and Bai Qihong is satisfied and begins to arrange the marriage between her and Jian Yi.

On this day, the two families made an appointment at a racecourse under Bai Qihong's name.

Mrs. Jian deliberately brought Chen Jingyi with her today, Hua Ting didn't care, nor did she want to ask out of jealousy, but instinctively wanted to ask: "Miss Chen Jingzhi, didn't you say before that you would return to the UK in two months?" ”

But Miss Chen Jingzhi thought that the other party was jealous, and immediately replied with a heavy face: "I asked for leave, how is it?" ”

"Oh." Not so much.

Knowing what Chen Jingzhi thought about him, Jian Yi still interjected in a very ignorant way: "That's better, Jingzhi, stay and drink our wedding wine by the way." ”

Chen Jingzhi's face was even darker.

Hua Ting rode an Arab black horse, with bright coat and strong hooves, stepping on the middle of the grassland, and splashing the ground slightly **** with mud stars www.biquge.info the Fun Pavilion. Yesterday it rained all night, but today the sun is good, the sun is dancing in her hair, and even the placket of her Western-style riding dress has brought some spirit.

As soon as she pulled the reins and clamped the horse's belly with her legs, the horse obediently raised her front hooves and made a beautiful "lifting" action.

"Sister Hua," Jane watched her run two laps from the sidelines before putting on her gloves, turning over on a white horse, and flicking her whip to chase after her, "Are you ready to marry me?" ”

Hua Ting frowned, stopped and turned her head to raise the corner of her eyebrows at him, as if she was a little annoyed, "Do you not understand human words?" ”

Jian Yi lightly pinched the horse's belly, and the horse trotted up, looking at the flowers and listening to this vivid expression, there was a little lightness in the bottom of his heart, and he unconsciously hooked the corners of his mouth, "I just heard that Mr. Bai seems to be saying that our marriage is set in the new Chinese New Year's Eve." ”

When Hua heard him smiling, she became even more annoyed, and was about to gallop out as soon as she raised her horsewhip, "You know me, if I refuse to marry, it is useless to tie me up." ”

Jane also gently and deftly pulled the whip and rode to her side, "Then how about we discuss something?" ”

"Something to discuss?" Hua Ting gently drew back the horsewhip and paced slowly on the grass field, "What are you discussing?" ”

"Aren't you playing with Mr. White's opium idea?"

Hua Ting turned his head to look at him, he was also pursing his lips and looking at her with a smile, his black and white eyes with a little rare tenderness and weakness, "If you marry me, I can fulfill your wishes." ”

Hua Ting looked back vigilantly at Bai Qihong and Jian Maosheng 50 meters away, who were slowly walking on the edge of the grassland, while Mrs. Jian was reluctant and pulled Chen Jingzhi to follow 10 meters away. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't ride a horse, how could Chen Jingzhi show affection under her nose by Jian Yihua and Hua Ting?

"What do you mean Jian Yi?" Flower Listening gradually slowed the horse down and approached him.

"What is Sister Hua's idea, can you escape my eyes?" A smile flashed across Jane's face.

The autumn breeze brought a slightly humid air, mixed with the faint smell of earth and grass, as if it had fallen silent for a moment, and only the sound of horses' hooves could be heard.

"First of all, you have to tell me who you are."

He looked at Hua Ting's expression and felt that the sun was dazzling, and her eyebrows seemed to be shining.

"Isn't it already clear who I am, Sister Hua?"

"Did you kill those two Japanese officials?"

"Which two? I've killed so many people that I can't remember it for a while. Jane chuckled lowly.

Hua Ting shook the reins hard, smiled and said: Don't sell it to Lao Tzu, answer yes, or, no. ”

"Yes."

The sunlight melted into his pupils, and it was incredibly warm.
