by MarineTLChapter 46: Mr. Shen, do you know this dog?
When Shen Fei asked, Da Qian didn’t hide anything and responded candidly,
“You know, I’ve been in the gambling scene for a long time! My family is clean. This time, I sold the last piece of land I had left for 150,000! I came here hoping to struggle a bit and see if I have a chance to get rich!”
Upon hearing this, Shen Fei frowned, his face filled with anger,
“You’re forcing yourself into a dead-end! Can you really do this with that thing?”
Having never dabbled in gambling stones, selling the last piece of land and pinning all hope on a cold stone—wasn’t this madness?
Remembering the last time he saw Da Qian in his past life, Shen Fei suddenly understood everything.
“Sigh, I don’t want it to be this way either! But the current situation doesn’t allow me to slowly make money. To be honest, I’m not afraid of you laughing at me, but right now, I still owe 200,000 in high-interest loans to Li You Group, and tomorrow is the repayment date!”
“My old man is still in the hospital, waiting for the money to save his life! Borrow money? How can a gambler like me show my face to borrow money? As soon as they hear I need to borrow, they either throw me out or curse at me!”
“I’m really at my wit’s end, or I wouldn’t have sold the last piece of land! What if, just what if, the heavens show me some favor? Not only could I save my father, but I could also redeem that piece of land! If there’s no such luck, then fine! I’ll repay my father’s kindness in my next life!”
Shen Fei fell silent because he didn’t know how to comfort Da Qian.
Being a gambler himself, Shen Fei naturally understood what Da Qian was saying.
He wasn’t in the mood to defend gamblers either, since every gambler’s fate is of their own making.
At this point, when a big event happens, all they can do is put everything on the line and gamble, hoping for a turnaround.
Just like Da Qian’s current situation.
200,000 in high-interest debt, a sick father.
150,000 wasn’t even enough to cover the loan repayment.
Da Qian, with no way out, had no choice but to risk everything.
“Alright, why am I telling you all this? Hurry up and find General Manager Jiang, stick with him, and don’t be like before! If today I, Da Qian, turn things around, we’ll meet up again later! If not, then let’s leave it to fate!”
Da Qian pushed Shen Fei, speaking with boldness.
But there was always a hint of despair in his tone.
He knew very well that the chances of turning things around were slim.
“Da Qian, wait a bit. My sixth sense has been quite strong lately! Maybe I can help you get rich too!”
Shen Fei smiled and patted Da Qian’s shoulder.
Seeing Shen Fei like this, Da Qian nodded eagerly.
Shen Fei walked towards Jiang Tiancheng’s direction.
Before he could greet Jiang Tiancheng, he overheard Jiang Tiancheng’s angry voice.
“You bastard! I’m just using my grandfather’s power, so what?”
Before Jiang Tiancheng finished speaking, another frivolous voice sounded,
“Nothing, just can’t stand you! If it weren’t for your old man’s abilities, what would Jiang Tiancheng be? A parasite, showing off all over the place using your grandfather’s name! When your old man’s gone, you and your dad will have nothing to be proud of!”
“Hmph, speaking of this, your dad is even worse than you! Your dad keeps using your grandfather’s name, his face is thicker than you think! I wonder how your dad feels about constantly talking about your grandfather—how embarrassing!”
The words were filled with mockery of the Jiang family.
“Damn it, Kong Fuwen, you’re crazy!”
Jiang Tiancheng was livid.
If Kong Fuwen had only insulted him, he wouldn’t have reacted so violently.
But Kong Fuwen, being younger, had also insulted his father, and he couldn’t tolerate that.
Although he didn’t like his father’s foolish behavior of constantly arguing with his grandfather, he couldn’t let others do it.
Unable to stand Kong Fuwen’s sarcastic tone, Jiang Tiancheng reached out to strike him.
Before his fist could even clench, his arm was grabbed by Hu Yuantai.
“Old Jiang, calm down! It’s not worth it!”
“Yuantai, let go! I’m going to beat the crap out of him! Damn it!” Jiang Tiancheng glared at Kong Fuwen angrily.
But Kong Fuwen, instead of being scared, became even more arrogant.
“Aiya, I’m so scared!”
“Hahaha, come on, little Jiang! I’ll stand right here, perfectly still, waiting for you to hit me! But before you do, you’d better listen to my advice. You can beat me up all you want, but once you do, your old man will have to scramble to make connections, and he might even have to beg me to reconcile with you… Do you think that’s more fun than beating me up?”
“Damn it! You—”
Jiang Tiancheng’s fists tightened, his neck veins bulging with anger.
But no matter how furious he was, he wasn’t as impulsive as before.
“Tch, I don’t know how your old man raised you, no manners at all!”
Kong Fuwen, unaffected, grew even more pleased.
Thinking about the consequences Kong Fuwen just mentioned, Jiang Tiancheng felt suffocated.
Looking at Kong Fuwen’s smug face, Jiang Tiancheng’s anger flared again.
At this moment, Shen Fei, who had been walking towards them, hesitated and spoke.
“General Manager Jiang, Mr. Hu, what’s going on here?”
Hu Yuantai quickly stepped in to smooth things over,
“Mr. Shen, it’s nothing, just a small altercation!”
“Hmph!”
Jiang Tiancheng snorted coldly, glaring fiercely at Kong Fuwen.
When he saw Shen Fei approach, his emotions slowly calmed down.
Meanwhile, Kong Fuwen, who was about to leave, froze when he saw Shen Fei.
“Ah, you look familiar… you’re the guy who went to the Tian Sheng Grand Hotel the other day!”
When Kong Fuwen recognized Shen Fei, his face twisted with mockery.
“Jiang Tiancheng, I didn’t expect you to be so friendly with this kind of scum. Looks like you’re not so impressive after all!”
Hearing this, Jiang Tiancheng’s anger flared again, but this time he didn’t act impulsively.
“Mr. Shen, do you know this dog?” he asked.
He was puzzled, knowing what Tian Sheng was about, but his grandfather had said that if he stepped foot in there, the Jiang family would disown him.
So he had never been.
What surprised him, however, was that Shen Fei had actually been to the Tian Sheng Grand Hotel!
That was truly unexpected.
Before Shen Fei could answer, Kong Fuwen sneered, looking at Jiang Tiancheng with disdain.
“When it comes to dogs, you’re the expert! Otherwise, how would you know a gambling addict like this? He lost two million, cried and shouted in the lobby, and didn’t look like a man at all! Then I heard he’s a regular at the casino, a high-interest loan borrower! Probably found some way to make a little money, got fooled by that big idiot Heng, and ended up at Tian Sheng! Heh, Jiang Tiancheng, you really are your grandfather’s good grandson!”
