Dragon Raja 5; Chapter 315: For Your Majesty (130)

Dragon Raja 5

As for how to escape this hellhole, she’d figure it out eventually. There was food and drink here, so it wasn’t bad as a temporary resting place. She pretended to be like those girls with Stockholm syndrome, even calling the boss “Dad,” since she had no respect for her own father anyway.

Today, this young master doesn’t seem like a pedophile; boys his age usually prefer older women. But upon hearing Su Enxi’s name, his languid expression changed. He rested his elbows on the table, leaned forward, and looked Su Enxi up and down.

“Daughter, Young Master Lu is a master gambler. He came all the way here specifically to play a few rounds with our best player.” The boss’s hand on Su Enxi’s shoulder tightened slightly. Su Enxi could tolerate this level of lewdness, but she understood the implication in this small gesture.

The boss was saying that this young master was a fat sheep, and we should hurry up and kill him without holding back.

“I’ve heard of the little prodigy, but I never imagined she was so young. I might feel like bullying you if I beat you,” the young master said.

The old woman sneered cruelly to herself, “Young man, when I eat you later, will I smear you with pepper or fermented bean curd?”

But Su Enxi, who looked like a top student, smiled elegantly and said the standard line, “I can also be considered a bet.”

“You should say that in a few years,” the young master said, scratching his head. “You haven’t even developed yet.”

Even with the old lady’s level of cultivation, she couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed and angry.
Su Enxi tapped the table with her fingers, signaling the dealer to begin dealing the cards.

They were playing Texas Hold’em, a highly competitive card game. Unlike gambling games that rely entirely on luck, it tests both the player’s calculation ability and their psychological resilience.

Five cards are placed face up on the table, and each player has two cards face down. Players choose five cards from the seven cards to form the highest possible hand. Whoever has the highest hand wins.

The test of skill lies in betting. At the start, there are only three face-up cards on the table. Players can choose to call, raise, or fold based on their face-down cards. After each face-up card is dealt, there is another round of betting. After three rounds of betting, the cards are revealed to determine the winner.

Players repeatedly calculate probabilities and adjust their betting rhythm while observing their opponents’ expressions and judging their psychology. You can aggressively raise the bet to overwhelm your opponent and force them to fold, or you can lure them in and bluff them out round after round until they’ve spent all their chips.

In short, it’s a game of deception and treachery.

The young master exchanged three million Australian dollars for chips, and the casino also provided Su Enxi with the same amount of chips. It wasn’t a lot, but it wasn’t a small amount either. Su Enxi had seen many scenes of this level before.

Su Enxi let the young master win a few rounds in a row, playing dumb to take advantage of his strength – that was her tactic. The young master didn’t immediately become aggressive; he chatted with Su Enxi while playing.

Where is SuSu from? How come Su Su works here?

What kind of person does Su Su want to become?

Susu, what do you think are your strengths and weaknesses?

Back then, she thought to herself, “Why is this person so long-winded?”

Why would they check her household registration while she was gambling? Later she found out it was an interview, and every question was related to whether she could get that mysterious position. If she passed, she would be a black swan soaring into the sky; if she failed, she would still be that ugly duckling from the Fujian countryside, drifting with the tide and swallowed up by the vast sea of ​​people.

Fortunately, she answered each question carefully.

She was initially resistant; the older woman was too lazy to share her inner thoughts with others. But the young master didn’t seem to have any ill intentions. He casually pushed out tens or hundreds of thousands of chips, not caring about winning or losing at all, but he was very serious about discussing life with Su Enxi.

It seems no one ever cared about Su Enxi’s life, not even herself. She was a precocious child, ripe too early to rot, and then just buried somewhere. She had no interest in lofty concepts like ideals and love, nor did she believe in anything beautiful. The most beautiful thing in the world had already been buried in the mountains—the withered, frail body of that old woman. Only she cared about Su Enxi’s future. She said Su Enxi would definitely be at the top of her class, go to high school in the provincial capital, get into Tsinghua University, and even study abroad. She would be dressed smartly and beautifully like the girls on TV, working in a crystal-clear skyscraper with a stunning sea view from her office window. No one knew where that old country woman had heard all this, piecing together her beautiful future.

As for her future husband, the old lady started singing that children’s song, “It’s getting dark, it’s going to rain, the Dragon King of the Sea wants to marry someone.”

She never said it explicitly, but in her mind, the man who could marry Su Enxi should be a heroic figure who descended from the sky, as irresistible as the Dragon King.

For that old woman who couldn’t see the future at all, everything was imaginable. Only this belief could support her to work in the fields with her back hunched over, and to live one more year so that her beloved little girl would have someone to take care of her for one more year.

As Su Enxi pondered the cards on the table and the question posed by the young master, she occasionally drifted off into a daze, as if she had returned to the old tea tree.

After the interview, the outcome between Su Enxi and the young master was far from decided. After asking the last question, the young master nodded in satisfaction, “Everyone has about the same amount of chips on the table. How about we draw a card and see who’s has bigger one? I’ll add a check for five million. If I win, Su Su will come with me. If I lose, the chips and the check are yours.”

The boss looked nervous and embarrassed. “Young master, isn’t this inappropriate? You’ve come here to play cards with our little prodigy. Winning a hand depends entirely on luck.”

The young master didn’t even look at the boss, staring intently into Su Enxi’s eyes. “To be honest, I want to start a company, but I’m short of a CEO, and I haven’t been able to find a suitable one. I have very high standards for my subordinates, and I’m quite picky. They have to be smart, beautiful, and preferably a little bit eccentric. I’m actually here today to poach people; playing cards is just a side thing.”
