528 We’ll Be There In A While
While the CEOs were discussing, CEO Liu’s expression turned serious. Although he had three Aces, his trump card was not a Jack but a three. He could not form a straight and a pair. Therefore, when he saw CEO Ma’s straight and Ye Xuan’s clubs, he suddenly felt a little guilty. Cold sweat broke out. After pondering for a moment, he looked at the two of them and forced a smile.
“CEO Ma, Chairman Ye, if your trump cards are too big to form a hand, the 10 million chips will belong to me. Warm reminder, it’s not too late to give in. I’ll only take half the bets.”
When CEO Ma heard this, he chuckled and spoke.
“CEO Liu, are you afraid? If my trump card was a six, it would be a straight flush. It’s much bigger than your three Aces. If you give in now, I can take only half of the bets. I think you can consider this suggestion.”
When everyone heard this, they immediately understood. It seemed that CEO Ma’s trump card was not going to be a six.
They were playing with cards. It was a game of courage. It depended on who had the guts to win in the end. Clearly, CEO Ma was indeed bold. He could actually walk to the end with a small card and even bet all of his chips. Everyone thought that he had a straight flush. Now that they heard this, they realized that it was not the case. It was a trick to scare people.
Ye Xuan had a whole new level of respect for CEO Ma. Then, he took out his trump card and took a look. Indeed, as the CEOs had said, his trump card was not the Nine of Clubs, but a Four of Diamonds.
The sisters watched from behind anxiously. Their palms were sweating as they stared at CEO Liu’s three Aces, not knowing what to do.
Seeing that he could not scare the two of them, CEO Liu had no choice but to pick up his trump card and throw it on the table. He looked at the two of them and spoke in a low voice.
“I don’t believe that your trump card will really allow you to form a straight flush!”
“What? So you can’t form a straight either. You’re quite good at bluffing with a three.”
CEO Ma looked at the three and laughed out loud. He had indeed thought that CEO Liu could form a straight and a pair. In the end, his trump card was a three. This made CEO Ma happy.
Then, he revealed his trump card and turned to look at Ye Xuan.
“Chairman Ye, I’ll have to rely on you now. I’m at my wit’s end.”
Everyone was in an uproar. The trump card was indeed not a six, but a seven.
“Haha, I knew it. It’s definitely not a straight. CEO Ma, your ability to scare people is not inferior to mine.”
When CEO Liu saw this, he smiled until his eyes were about to squint. Then, his gaze landed on Ye Xuan. He was both expectant and panicked as he stared at the trump card.
The surrounding CEOs all looked at Ye Xuan’s face, and the atmosphere instantly rose to a peak.
“CEO Liu, you know that I’ve never liked to bluff people. I like to play in an honest manner.”
Ye Xuan smiled and spoke. Then, he held his trump card and threw it on the table. It was actually a Nine of Clubs. He had an Eight of Clubs, Nine of Clubs, Ten of Clubs, Jack of Clubs, and Queen of Clubs. It was a straight flush. He defeated everyone else!!
Seeing this, the CEOs were in an uproar. CEO Ma smiled like a calm lake, as if everything was within his expectations.
Meanwhile, CEO Liu collapsed on the chair. His entire body was numb as he looked at the Nine of Clubs in disbelief.
“I’m sorry, CEO Liu. My luck is a little good. I’ll kindly accept these chips.”
Ye Xuan smiled and said. Then, he turned to look at his sisters and smiled at them. He blinked and said everything without saying anything.
“It’s comfortable. Since Chairman Ye is here, you can take the main share. I’ll just take a small amount to have fun.”
CEO Ma spoke to Ye Xuan with a smile as he held the chips for himself, making the surrounding CEOs envious. At the same time, they regretted not daring to follow the bet. Otherwise, they would have a share of the money now. It was a pity.
At this moment, CEO Liu recovered and cupped his fists at Ye Xuan.
“As expected of Chairman Ye. I’m really convinced of my loss. I always thought that you were bluffing me, but I didn’t expect you to be serious. I’m impressed. I have to give up the first prize. Hehe, who wants to be the banker next? I’m going to be idle.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a CEO took over the position of the banker with a smile on his face. It was obvious that he had been looking forward to this position for a long time.
Chairman Ye’s persona was that of someone who couldn’t bluff. In reality, it was the most difficult to tell whether this information was real or fake.
The newly appointed banker did not believe that Ye Xuan was not bluffing. In the end, he lost again without a single chip left. Everyone who had learned their lesson got a share and laughed until they could not even hold their farts.
After playing a few more rounds, Ye Xuan was too embarrassed to continue cheating and played casually. In the end, perhaps because of the good luck, the lucky yuppie bluffed a bunch of lousy CEOs and won a lot of chips.
After that, no one dared to be the banker anymore. As a result, this happy poker game came to an end.
Then, they sat at the tea table and drank a cup of tea to rest. They got to know one another better and chatted about their business. They talked about their respective views on business. It was very comfortable.
After all, it was only tens of thousands of yuan. To them, it was indeed not much money. They were just happy. Naturally, no one felt uncomfortable because they had lost money.
Ye Xuan and his sisters were also very comfortable sitting at the side. They ate melon seeds and drank tea while chatting about the card game just now. Just from their conversation, one could tell how exciting the card game was just now. When they heard this, some people playing slot machines couldn’t help but lean over with funny expressions.
After drinking a few cups of tea, Fifth Sister Ye Fei looked at the time and suddenly remembered that she had an event to attend in the afternoon. Her expression tensed up and she stood up.
“Ah! I forgot to play. I still have to attend an event in the afternoon. I should be able to make it in time if I go now. Little Brother and Sisters, you guys go ahead and play. I’ll leave first. If I’m any later, I won’t be able to make it.”
As she spoke, she slung her bag over her shoulder and prepared to leave.
At this moment, CEO Zhao glanced at Fifth Sister Ye Fei. He sighed and muttered.
“Sigh, Miss Ye, it seems like you don’t know the traffic in Tianjing. If we go now, we definitely won’t be able to make it in time. Just the traffic jam alone will take a few hours.”
When Fifth Sister Ye Fei heard this, she panicked.
“Ah?! Is there that much traffic? Then what should I do? This event is very important to me. If I’m late, I won’t be able to enter. Aiya, why did I forget? It’s so annoying…”
Ye Xuan looked at his Fifth Sister Ye Fei’s worried expression and felt anxious for her. However, he suddenly had an idea and thought for a moment.
“Don’t be anxious, Sister. We should be able to reach after playing here for a while.”
With that, he picked up his phone and pressed a few buttons before sending a message to someone.
When everyone heard Ye Xuan’s words, they were puzzled. What did he mean by they could reach after playing here for a while?
