Chapter 105 [Yang Wei's Secret]
But when I saw this old man lose to me playing stud, he laughed happily like a child...... Such a scene is indeed very pleasant.
One night, I won first, then lost, and ended up throwing away two thousand dollars. But the joy I got was something I had never experienced in gambling in my life!
After playing for a while, Yang Wen led me to the bar next to the casino and sat down, I drank a glass of tequila, and then looked around at this place, and suddenly my heart moved: "This place is really wonderful...... Is there a place like this in Las Vegas? β
ββ¦β¦ Without. A hint of surprise flashed in Yang Wen's eyes: "This kind of unprofitable place is purely used to make guests happy, and there is only this one place in the casino." β
I sighed, then made a gesture to the bartender to fill the wine glass in front of me, and then smiled: "Well, it was the former leader of the Yang family who came up with this attention in the first place, right?" The person who came up with this idea is really jΔ«ng Ming! β
Yang Wen raised his eyebrows and smiled silently.
I glanced at him and said casually, "Isn't it...... Well, such a place, although it has such a casino, it does not make money...... In a casino where every inch of land is valuable, it is too wasteful. But the value here, in my opinion, is much more than any of the big casinos. β
Then, I picked up my glass and drank it again, letting the spicy and fiery tequila flow down my esophagus. Then squinting his eyes and enjoying the fiery stimulation that spread down his throat, he let out a long sigh, pointed to the casino in front of him, and laughed quietly: "Look...... What a gambling master! There is a dragon and a crouching tiger inside. I don't know how many people are former gambling gods or gambling kings? How many are famous professional gamblers? These people have become regulars here, and although they don't make much money here, the casino has won the most important thing...... Gift!! β
I turned my head, looked at Yang Wen with a surprised expression on his face, and smiled, "Isn't it?" Even I, an outsider, couldn't help but think that this place was really great! It's really great. And those who gamble all day and lose the pleasure of gambling must also like it here, as long as they come once, they can't help but often enjoy the real fun after boring work...... And when they come too much, it is inevitable that they will have a good impression of the Yang family in their hearts! And as a family that made its fortune on a gambling syndicate. In this way, he has won the favor of many gambling masters and many professional gamblers...... What could be a better deal? Talented...... Genius conception! I sighed.
And in my heart, I couldn't help but sigh a little.
The Yang family, what kind of family is it!
Thinking of such a genius idea, the person who came up with such a place is definitely not Mr. Yang Er, because judging from the history of this place, it should have been established earlier than when Mr. Yang Er was in charge of the Yang family.
Just imagine, after the Yang family came out with such a genius leader, Mr. Yang Er after that was also a smart man. And Yang Wei, the younger generation, is another extremely intelligent figure.
Is such a family rich in geniuses?
"You're really amazing." Yang Wen sighed, and then smiled: "I have brought many guests to visit here, but the value of this place has been broken at once, and you are one of the few people I have ever met." β
"Oh...... Who's the other one? β
Yang Wen thought for a moment and laughed in a low voice: "It's also a young and extraordinary guest like you...... Mr. Li Wenjing. β
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β
Hearing this familiar name, I instinctively froze for a moment, and then fell silent for a while.
It took me a long time before I finally smiled: "Haha! It's him...... It turned out to be him. β
I shook my head, then pointed to the glass in front of me and motioned for the bartender to fill it for me.
"Actually, there is an open secret that everyone knows." Yang Wen seems to be really suitable for the profession of commentator, he is obviously also a talent trained by the Yang family who is good at public relations or reception work, and said with a smile: "The major families in the casino all know a traditional habit of the Yang family, which is also an open secret. Every head of the Yang family, before taking over the family, was still the heir, and was first sent to serve as the director of this casino. In other words, if a young man from the Yang family is appointed as the director of this particular casino, even if he has not yet been established as the heir, then in fact it is tantamount to openly implying that the parents will pass on the position to him. But...... Over the years, only one person has broken this convention......"
"Oh?" My heart moved.
The heirs of the Yang family will be appointed as the head of this place first, which is not surprising. Since the meaning of the existence of this place is to win the favor and favor of many gambling masters. So as the heir of the Yang family's cultivation, it is not intended to be a very wonderful way to experience in this place, and at the same time try to make more gambling masters and establish contacts in this circle.
There is only one "exception"...... Could it be......
"It's Miss Yang Wei." When Yang Wei's name was mentioned, Yang Wen's eyes showed a trace of sincere respect and even admiration: "Back then, everyone thought that Young Master Yang Yi was publicly established as the heir, so he would definitely be appointed as the director here next...... But in the end, Mr. Yang Er made an exception and chose Miss Yang Wei to be the supervisor here. This is also the only exception in the history of the Yang family. However, Miss Yang Wei's ingenuity has lived up to Mr. Yang Er's expectations! "[Heaven's Kiss Hand Punch]
"......" When I heard the name Yang Wei again, I really couldn't tell whether my heart was bitter or something else.
Hum...... Didn't let his straw bale son serve as the supervisor here, that's for sure, with Mr. Yang Er's cleverness, he naturally knows that his son is a straw bale, if such a person is allowed to manage such an important place responsible for recruiting talents and making friends, if that straw bale messes up, I'm afraid that the Yang family has accumulated for many years, and the hearts and favors that have been bought with great difficulty will be lost by him!
But looking at Yang Wen's expression when he mentioned Yang Wei's name, I couldn't help but ask, "You...... Do you know Yang Wei? β
ββ¦β¦ It's not a acquaintance. Yang Wen, this clean young man actually showed a trace of shyness and regret in his eyes, and he couldn't help but smile lightly: "In terms of blood, I am Miss Yang Wei's distant cousin, but I am far away. Miss Yang Wei is recognized as the most outstanding strong woman of the Yang family's generation, and she is extremely smart...... Again...... She is so beautiful, the young people in the family, who doesn't know her? Hmmm......"
I laughed and could tell. Yang Wei is probably the idol of many young teenagers like Yang Wen in the family.
"Speaking of which...... Mr. Yang Er finally established Miss Yang Wei as the heir of the next parent, this decision is really wise......" Yang Wen said as he said, as if he was a little forgetful. However, he also reacted quickly, and let out a low "ah" and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry...... I'm afraid I'm a little out of shape. Mr. Chen, it seems impolite to discuss family matters in front of guests like you. β
"It's okay." I smiled, but there was a bit of bitterness in my smile: "I like to hear what you say." Also interested. β
Next, I asked Yang Wen to accompany me for a few glasses of wine. Under the effect of wine jΔ«ng, this restrained and polite young man couldn't help but have a little hot face, and with my deliberate clichΓ©s, our topic seemed to unconsciously become a discussion about Yang Wei.
Fortunately, Yang Wen is not a confidant of Mr. Yang Er, and what he said is not a confidential matter. And the relationship between me and Yang Wei, it seems that he doesn't know about it...... It must be that Mr. Yang Er deliberately blocked my relationship with Yang Wei in the family.
After all, the most outstanding young girl in the Yang family is unclear with a married man, and it is really not good to say it.
For this reason, Yang Wen and I don't have any worries about talking about Yang Weilai - of course, we are talking about some small things that are not confidential, just like the tone in which two men normally discuss a very popular female star.
"Miss Yang Wei is no longer the supervisor here, and after she takes over the heir, there will be more important things to do...... However, I have had the privilege of working here for a while, and it is a pleasure to work under Ms. Yang Wei. Although she is very strict with people, she is very kind to people. Yang Wen smiled: "Miss Yang Wei's former office was upstairs, and she lived here when she was the director here. Her bedroom, as well as the studio and the music room, are all upstairs. Ms. Yang seems to like painting and playing the piano in her spare time, and her studio has a collection of works with unique scenery. Many of the works are by strange artists, and although others think that those things are not valuable, Miss Yang Wei once said that great works of art often only really increase in value after the death of the author, so she thinks that her collection may become as expensive as Van Gogh or Mo Nay in a few decades. β
My heart moved when I heard this......
I can't imagine that Yang Wei, who is calm and rational, will also have such a childish time?
I couldn't help but be interested: "Can I go and see those works?" β
Yang Wen seemed a little strange about my request, but he did not refuse: "Oh, those works are in a studio upstairs...... That place is not a secret place. And Miss Yang Wei never refuses to allow others to visit her collection. Moreover, you are a distinguished guest ordered by Mr. Yang Er to be well received, and we will try our best to meet your requirements. β
He immediately stood up and said with a smile: "The studio is upstairs, I'll take you there." β
Yang Wen left for a short while, and soon he took a bunch of keys, and then pushed me out of the casino and took the elevator to the fifth floor of the building.
Walking out of the elevator, Yang Wen smiled: "In the past, Miss Yang liked to stay here. Her former bedroom and office were on it...... But those places, I'm sorry I can't take you to visit, hehe......"
As he spoke, he pushed me to the door of a room, opened it with the key, and turned on the light......
This is indeed a studio, holding a wheelchair slowly into the room, immediately smelling a strong smell of oil paint, next to the walls of the room, there are many picture frames on the ground, as well as drawing boards, and there are many cans and bottles of oil paint in the corner.
I've seen all of these things at the house of my best friend Aze, so it's not surprising.
It's just that I never thought that Yang Wei would have such a hobby.
There are a lot of oil paintings hanging on the walls, but in order to prevent dust, they are covered with a layer of protective paper, and after Yang Wen helped me lift them, I took a closer look at these things.
A lot of the works are very abstract or impressionistic, and the strange colors, lines, many of which I can't understand at all.
There are also some eccentric authors' signatures in the corners of many works, and I don't know where Yang Wei got these things from.
Yang Wen pushed me to walk slowly, looking at these works, I couldn't help but feel a little gimmick...... These things, although I don't know how to identify paintings, but if I want to say that this kind of ghost painting can also be valuable, I won't believe it. Yang Wei, however, collects these things like a child, and firmly believes that these things will become expensive works of art in the future, which is really a little unexpected for me to think, this is actually the rational and calm Yang Wei I know!
Obviously, Yang Wei is indeed good at painting, because there are many graffiti works on some of the drawing boards next to him, which are obviously left by the owner of this studio. I don't know how to draw, but I have a good friend who claims to be a painter, Aze. So I read a lot, at least I will look at a little bit of the doorway, at least I can see that Yang Wei is not scribbling, but has some skills and basic skills.
However, as Yang Wen pushed me step by step, he lifted the innermost curtain, revealing the last drawing board in this room, looking at the picture on it, I was suddenly stunned!
In addition to the shock, my face stiffened, and, unconsciously, my fingers seemed to tremble slightly!
As soon as my eyes came into contact with the painting, I couldn't take my eyes off it!
This painting is not complicated in terms of technique, and the use of sè color is not very clever, but the content of the picture made me suddenly feel really sour:
On the board, there was a grove in a valley, and beside the valley, the night was like ink, and the sky was full of stars, but there were two young men and women, sitting there, leaning on each other. The man seemed to have some blood stains on his body, but he gently hugged each other with the woman to keep warm. In terms of clothing, the man in the painting is wearing a torn suit, while the woman is wearing a leather jacket......
In front of this, it immediately tore through my mind as if it were a prison!
I stared at the sketchpad in front of me, my eyes glazed over......
Well, yes, yes...... Isn't the content in this picture the night when Yang Wei and I first met, when we fell down the valley together and hugged each other for warmth?
Look at a scribbled signature in the bottom right corner of the artboard: z.w.
Yang Wei...... Yang Wei...... Did you draw this?
