Hong Kong Film: Jimmy? Please call me Councillor Li

Chapter 290: A Sweep of $350 Million

[Triggering the "Young God of Gamblers" storyline and influencing the plot will grant you generous system rewards.]

Li Jiayuan: “?”

What is the plot of "Young God of Gamblers"?

Gao Jin is here too?
His guess was correct; the system selected a timeline, and all other related timelines that were repeated were deleted.

Therefore, there is no middle-aged God of Gamblers Ko Chun on Hong Kong Island now, nor are there Chen Daozai and the Saint of Gamblers Ah Xing.

Li Jiayuan suddenly remembered the foreign aid that Qiu Degen and the others had mentioned earlier. Could it be that Gao Jin and his team were invited here as foreign aid this time?

If that's the case, then Gao Jin is very likely to become his rival.

He's just a young God of Gamblers; he's now the fully-fledged God of Gamblers, so he's not worried at all.

Putting aside his gambling skills of changing cards at will, his psychological game experience in gambling alone is something that Gao Jin, this young upstart, can't compare to.

"We can start cutting the cards now."

Jiang Yun remained unfazed. He then took four decks of cards and put on a very cool gambling performance, making the cards move as nimbly as a snake in his hands.

This caused some of the onlookers to scream in surprise.

"Amazing!"

Zheng Youling nodded in amazement, then thought of Jiang Yun's background. The Jiang family was known for its gambling skills, so how could Jiang Yun, as the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, not know how to gamble?

So they were all clowns; the real mastermind was someone else entirely!
Li Jiayuan was not at all surprised that Jiang Yun had such superb gambling skills. He didn't believe that Jiang Shanhe's sister wasn't quite capable.

In the casino, one cannot lose face. If Jiang Yun is serious, he must return the favor.

Li Jiayuan picked up two decks of cards, gently pressed them down, and released them. The playing cards landed precisely on the table as if forming an arch, stacking themselves neatly.

Neat and tidy, without the slightest change, cleaner than a human could wash, drawing cheers from the audience.

Huang Kui and Zheng Youling were dumbfounded. Such a cool card shuffling technique could only be done by a master gambler!

Holy crap, this kid's been hiding something really deep.

Huang Kui was filled with remorse. He thought about what he had just done and felt like a clown, his eyes fixed on Li Jiayuan with a sinister look, like a venomous snake.

This guy is treating him like a fool!

He bets he can't beat him, fine. But tomorrow, Li Jiayuan will definitely participate in the competition. He wants to see how Li Jiayuan will beat the one the Huang family invited!
Jiang Yun, who was Li Jiayuan's opponent, was also shocked by Li Jiayuan's amazing card shuffling skills. His family was involved in gambling and he had received training from a young age.

It takes someone to hone such incredible gambling skills. As for Li Jiayuan, his achievements in other areas are already beyond the reach of others: traffic jams, business, politics, sports, and martial arts. Now, does he even know how to gamble?
Jiang Yun subconsciously bit her lip, the strange throbbing in her heart intensifying. Why did such a perfect person exist in this world?

If she can't have it, why let her meet it in the first place?

In terms of understanding Li Jiayuan alone, even Huang Lei is not qualified to compete with Jiang Yun, whose family has collected various stories about Li Jiayuan.

She spent a lot of time investigating his affairs, both overt and covert, including many of Li Jiayuan's interests and hobbies that even Huang Lei might not know.

For example, he's an expert in racing and sometimes goes to the track for a few rounds; he's also an expert in firearms and goes to legal venues to practice.
At first, Jiang Yun was just curious, but later she found that this man was more interesting than she had imagined. Every time she thought she had reached her limit, a little surprise would appear, slowly, slowly.

Watching Li Jiayuan's life seemed to have become a daily routine. Every now and then, she would have someone compile a list of things Li Jiayuan had done, like news, and put it at home.

After work, I take it out to look at it as a pastime.

It was because Jiang Yun paid so much attention to Li Jiayuan's affairs that she learned of the news immediately after the Zhong family had some doubts and took action to resolve the issue.

Jiang Yun clenched her fists, making up her mind. Fine, she'd use today's bet as a final resolution. Since Li Jiayuan was already married, they'd go their separate ways. If Jiang Yun wanted to find a man, she could simply make it clear; plenty of men would pursue her, and she wouldn't lower herself.

Li Jiayuan went all out, and psychological micro-expression analysis was just the basics for him.

The result was obvious: Jiang Yun lost. It wasn't a bad loss, but it was a real loss, and it gave Li Jiayuan another 1.5 million chips.

Knowing he couldn't win, Jiang Yun gave Li Jiayuan one last deep look before getting up and walking away.

She turned and left, as if she had made up her mind.

After the game ended, Li Jiayuan exchanged his 3.8 million chips for several big wins.

This time I've really struck it rich!
Putting aside tomorrow's betting, just the current three million US dollars is enough to break even. That's over three million US dollars!

"Mr. Li, do you have a moment now? I'd like to talk to you."

When Zheng Youling came to see him, Li Jiayuan inexplicably thought of Li Jun when he heard his words and immediately got goosebumps.

He looked at Zheng Youling with a strange gaze, and then asked a question.

Do you have a girlfriend? How is your relationship?

Zheng Youling: "."

Who asks this right off the bat? How presumptuous! Although full of doubts, Zheng Youling answered with the principle of making friends sincerely.

"I don't have a girlfriend, but I have a fiancée, the second young lady of the Su family. We're getting married tomorrow, and it's not a political marriage."

Seemingly to demonstrate his feelings for his fiancée, Zheng Youling added a sentence after he finished speaking.

Li Jiayuan nodded and smiled, indicating there was nothing to talk about.

In fact, Zheng Youling didn't have any ulterior motives. He just felt that Li Jiayuan was very capable, and based on the principle that it's better to resolve conflicts than to create them, he thought it wouldn't hurt to communicate more.

Perhaps there will be opportunities to cooperate in the future. After talking with them, there were no conflicts.

Li Jiayuan discovered that the eldest son of the Zheng family was indeed just as Li Jun had described—a true gentleman—which greatly changed Li Jiayuan's opinion of him.

The newly arrived rich kids weren't all good-for-nothings or spoiled brats.

There is still plenty of capable and fresh talent, such as Li Jun and Zheng Youling.

Even Zheng Youwei, he was actually quite good, but compared to someone like Zheng Youling, his brilliance was completely overshadowed, and there was nothing that could be done about it.

The two chatted about trivial matters and wandered around the large casino.

"Listen to me, go all out this time."

As Li Jiayuan passed by, he noticed that Lin Xin was betting on big or small, so he stopped and whispered something in her ear.

Lin Xin turned around abruptly and saw Zheng Youling next to Li Jiayuan with a strange look in her eyes.

How did these two end up together? The Zheng family and Jiayuan Group have had such a messy falling out, and this eldest son of the Zheng family actually has a private relationship with Li Jiayuan.

This Zheng Youling is capable; I feel he could surpass his predecessor!
Lin Xin didn't praise Li Jiayuan in her heart. Just kidding, did that guy need her praise? Everyone knows how outstanding Li Jiayuan is.

After all, they are self-made millionaires who started from scratch and achieved in just one year what they had worked hard for half a lifetime to accomplish.

The wealthy families on Hong Kong Island have accumulated a lot of wealth, but in reality, they only earn about one or two hundred million a year.
