Liu Xiaobao didn't say that he had never been to a casino, because it would seem too strange not to go to a casino while on a gambling ship.
Therefore, Liu Xiaobao simply replied casually, "My luck doesn't seem to be very good either. I haven't gained anything. So far, I'm neither winning nor losing!"
Liu Xiaobao thought he could get rid of Guan Zhilin with just one sentence, but he didn't expect Guan Zhilin to be able to respond to him like that.
"In a casino, not losing is winning, Mr. Bao, you're actually quite lucky! After dinner, Mr. Bao, are you going to the casino again?"
Having learned from his previous experience of being tricked by Guan Zhilin's words in the elevator, Liu Xiaobao was smarter when answering Guan Zhilin this time.
He gave a vague answer: "It depends on my mood. I'll go if I want to, and I'll go back to my room and sleep if I don't!"
Liu Xiaobao miscalculated again, only to hear Guan Zhilin follow up with another question.
"Mr. Bao is really easygoing. By the way, which room are you staying in, Mr. Bao? I'll come visit you sometime!"
When a woman asks a man which room he's staying in, and then goes to that room to meet him, the implications are obvious.
At this moment, not only Liu Xiaobao was stunned by Guan Zhilin's directness, but even Chung Chuh-hung stared blankly at Guan Zhilin.
Clearly, Cherie Chung was also surprised that her beautiful friend would so readily throw herself at a man, but she just looked at Kwan Chi-lam in surprise and didn't ask him anything.
After a moment of hesitation, Liu Xiaobao did not tell Guan Zhilin his room number, as he did not want Guan Zhilin to come knocking on his door again.
So Liu Xiaobao made an excuse to skip the topic: "I'm not tired yet. After I finish eating, I should go to the casino for a while longer!"
Hearing Liu Xiaobao's words, Guan Zhilin was not disappointed at all. Instead, she immediately smiled and said to Zhong Chuhong, "Oh, that's perfect. Sister Hong, you lost this afternoon. Why don't I accompany you and Boss Bao to the casino later and see if we can borrow Boss Bao's luck to win back what you lost this afternoon!"
Chung Chor-hung paused for a moment, then replied to Kwan Chi-lam, "Okay, whatever you say!"
Guan Zhilin then turned to Liu Xiaobao and asked, "Mr. Bao wouldn't mind helping us win a little, would he?"
Liu Xiaobao felt bitter, thinking to himself that he seemed to have inadvertently fallen into Guan Zhilin's trap again.
But the request that Guan Zhilin made to him now is not unreasonable. In casinos, many people will follow those who are lucky and place bets because they know they are unlucky. This is called "borrowing luck" and it is a very normal thing in casinos.
Although Liu Xiaobao neither liked nor was good at gambling, he had heard He Chaoqiong mention this kind of "luck-borrowing" thing before when he was in a casino in Las Vegas.
So when faced with Guan Zhilin's question, Liu Xiaobao couldn't refuse and could only give a wry smile in agreement.
"I don't mind, but I can't guarantee whether we can win, so Miss Zhong would better think it over carefully before deciding whether to bet with me."
Chung Chu-hung replied nonchalantly, "It's okay, Mr. Bao. I just had really bad luck today. I lost everything I bet on. I don't believe your luck is any worse than mine!"
Hearing what Chung Chuh-hung had said, Liu Xiaobao didn't say anything more. He simply said to the two women, "Alright, let's hurry up and eat. After we finish eating, we'll go to the casino!"
Liu Xiaobao didn't expect that even though he had already promised Guan Zhilin to take them to the casino, Guan Zhilin still hadn't given up on her idea of getting him a few more drinks.
Guan Zhilin raised his glass to Liu Xiaobao once again.
"Boss Bao, let's have another drink! Wishing you a crushing victory later!"

Even though Liu Xiaobao was wary, he couldn't resist Guan Zhilin's various excuses for toasting him.
Although they didn't order a second bottle of wine, they still finished the first one.
At dinner, Liu Xiaobao was not drunk at all, but after dinner, when Liu Xiaobao and his friends went to the floor where the casino was located, the aftereffects of the red wine began to kick in.
Although Liu Xiaobao wasn't drunk, he was slightly tipsy.
Upon arriving at the casino, Cherie Chung exchanged another 100,000 chips, and even Rosamund Kwan, who doesn't gamble, exchanged 100,000 chips. Liu Xiaobao, however, didn't exchange many chips, only one million.
Then the three of them went to a baccarat table together. Liu Xiaobao sat in the middle, with Guan Zhilin and Zhong Chuhong sitting on either side of him.
As for Su Jie, he probably intended for Liu Xiaobao to ignore his presence and keep his distance.
Liu Xiaobao didn't even glance at the win/loss record on the gambling table. He simply asked Zhong Chuhong, who was sitting to his left, "Ms. Zhong, do you think the banker or the player will win the next round?"
After a moment's thought, Chung Chu-hung replied, "The winner has won three games in a row, so I think it's still the winner!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaobao immediately took out 500,000 chips and placed them on the 'Player' bet.
Chung Chu-hung was taken aback: "Mr. Bao, what do you mean by this? I said Banker, but you bet on Player?"
Liu Xiaobao smiled slightly and explained, "Miss Zhong, didn't you say you're unlucky? Well then, I'll do the opposite of what you expect and see if I can make a profit. As for whether you bet with me or not, that's up to you!"
After listening to Liu Xiaobao's explanation, Guan Zhilin decisively took out 50,000 chips and followed Liu Xiaobao's lead, betting on the "player" (player) position.
After a slight hesitation, Chung Chu-hung also placed a bet of 50,000 on the "player" side.
Once all the gamblers have placed their bets, the dealer begins dealing the cards.
Since Liu Xiaobao was the biggest bettor on the "Player" side, the dealer dealt the cards to Liu Xiaobao, while the "Banker" side had the right to see the cards, which belonged to a woman around fifty years old.
After the woman carefully examined the cards and revealed an eight, Liu Xiaobao didn't even bother to look at the cards again and simply flipped the two cards over onto the table.
The result was a nine, which won against the dealer's eight points with a hand of one.
"Banker gets 8 points, Player gets 9 points, Player wins!"
As the dealer called out, he collected all the chips bet on the banker to win and then began paying out the chips bet on the player.
"Mr. Bao, you really have a knack for this!"
"It turns out the player actually won!"
Upon hearing what Guan Zhilin and Zhong Chuhong said, Liu Xiaobao could only manage a wry smile.
Actually, Liu Xiaobao wanted to lose even more. The entire gambling ship belonged to him, so he had no interest in gambling. He only came to the casino to appease Guan Zhilin.
He had already planned to leave after losing his million chips, but he couldn't make it too obvious, so he didn't bet all his chips in one round, but only bet half.
But now things are looking up. Not only did he not lose, but because there's no commission on betting on the player, he's won back an extra 500,000 chips.
However, Liu Xiaobao wasn't too disappointed. Anyway, he had no intention of taking the money back. Since he had won this round, he could just lose the next one.
To avoid letting Rosamund Kwan and Cherie Chung realize that he was deliberately trying to lose, Liu Xiaobao asked Cherie Chung again before placing his bet: "Ms. Chung, which side do you think will win this round?"
Having won the first round, Chung Chu-hung didn't question Liu Xiaobao's strategy this time. After thinking about it seriously, she replied to Liu Xiaobao, "With three bankers and one player, I think the winner of this round will switch back to banker!"
After listening to Zhong Chuhong's words, Liu Xiaobao decisively placed the one million chips he had just won back onto the 'Player' bet.
This time, neither Rosamund Kwan nor Cherie Chung hesitated, and like Liu Xiaobao, they placed the 100,000 chips they had just won on the 'Player' bet.
"Banker gets 7 points, Player gets 9 points, Player wins!"
To Liu Xiaobao's disappointment once again, "Xian" won again, turning his one million chips into two million chips, while Guan Zhilin and Zhong Chuhong's one hundred thousand chips also turned into two hundred thousand chips.
Liu Xiaobao still didn't get his chips back. After asking Chung Chuh-hung for her prediction for the third round, he transferred his two million chips to the "banker" side. Kwan Chi-lam and Chung Chuh-hung followed suit and placed their two hundred thousand chips on the "banker" side as well.
The result was amazing; this round, as expected, went against Chung Chu-hung's prediction, and the banker won.
Since the dealer takes a 5% cut of the winnings, Liu Xiaobao's two million chips became three million nine hundred thousand, while Guan Zhilin and Zhong Chuhong's two hundred thousand chips became three hundred and ninety thousand.

Because they won money, both Rosamund Kwan and Cherie Chung appeared happy.
Liu Xiaobao's previous desire to lose has also changed. He didn't expect that three consecutive games would be the opposite of Zhong Chuhong's prediction. He couldn't help but become curious and wondered if there really was such a thing as luck.
So Liu Xiaobao, who was previously determined to lose, now wants to see if he can keep winning based on Chung Chu-hung's prediction.
In the fourth round, Cherie Chung predicted that the banker would win, and Liu Xiaobao changed his bet of 3.9 million chips to the player. Kwan Chi-lam and Cherie Chung called again.
The result was truly amazing, contrary to Cherie Chung's prediction. It was truly a case of "leisure" winning!
…
Liu Xiaobao's initial 500,000 chips have now become 7.8 million, while Guan Zhilin and Zhong Chuhong's 50,000 chips have become 780,000.
Moreover, since Liu Xiaobao had won three consecutive rounds, other gamblers followed suit and placed bets, resulting in significant losses for the table in this round.
Seeing this, Liu Xiaobao dared not continue gambling. If he kept winning, his casino would suffer huge losses.
So Liu Xiaobao didn't continue trying. He thought to himself, "That's amazing!" Then he said to Guan Zhilin and Zhong Chuhong, "I've won over seven million in one go. I'm satisfied. I'm not gambling anymore. Miss Guan, Miss Zhong, please do as you please!"
After saying that, Liu Xiaobao turned around and waved to Su Jie, telling Su Jie to take the pile of chips, and then prepared to leave.
At this moment, Guan Zhilin also spoke up: "I'm not playing anymore either! Sister Hong, what about you?"
Chung Chu-hung smiled and said, "I've already won back the more than 200,000 I lost this afternoon, and I even won 400,000 in return. I'm not playing anymore!"
Seeing Guan Zhilin's posture, Liu Xiaobao knew that she wanted to stay by his side again.
Just as he was secretly lamenting his predicament and not knowing what to do, Liu Xiaobao suddenly caught sight of He Chaoqiong, who was patrolling the area. He felt as if he had seen a savior and quickly said something to Guan Zhilin and Zhong Chuhong.
"Excuse me, Miss Guan, Miss Zhong, I ran into an acquaintance and need to go say hello. Please make yourselves at home!"
After saying that, Liu Xiaobao ignored Guan Zhilin and Zhong Chuhong's reactions and immediately walked quickly towards He Chaoqiong.

Watching Liu Xiaobao leave in a hurry, Guan Zhilin couldn't help but feel a little resentful.
At first, Guan Zhilin thought Liu Xiaobao was deliberately making excuses to get rid of her, so she immediately grabbed Zhong Chuhong and chased after him.
However, when Guan Zhilin saw Liu Xiaobao and He Chaoqiong chatting and laughing, Guan Zhilin stopped in her tracks and stood there blankly watching Liu Xiaobao and He Chaoqiong leave the casino.
At this moment, Zhong Chuhong said in surprise, "Zhizhi, wasn't that He Chaoqiong from the He family who was with President Bao just now? She's the owner of this gambling ship. I didn't expect President Bao to have a connection with her!"
Although Pansy Ho is not a celebrity in the entertainment industry, almost everyone in Hong Kong's entertainment circle knows her, because she is a socialite from a wealthy family who is several levels above those celebrities.
Even in Hong Kong entertainment magazines, Pansy Ho's news coverage was no less extensive than that of female celebrities.
