Chapter 237 Indulgence
Lynn was just about to go out to eat a little bit, but he ran into a person head-on. He took a closer look and saw that this person was none other than Burns, a programmer.

But at this time, Burns looked a little lost. Lin En was clearly a few steps away from him, but the other party seemed to be unaware of it, and just walked forward without any reaction.

"Hey, are you okay?" Lin En was a little puzzled, and quickly stopped him.

There is definitely something wrong with the other party's state at this time.

Burns suddenly raised his head, looked at Lynn numbly, and finally sighed heavily.

"Ugh!"

"That's how things are." Burns took a sip of his drink, turned his head and looked at the bustling pedestrians outside the window of the restaurant, feeling a little inexplicably bitter.

"I was fired."

Lynn scratched his head,

There is really no way.

The company is a very nostalgic place. No matter how much employees have contributed to him, they will still be kicked out after the residual value declines. It's just the difference between being kicked out sooner and later.

"You know, I work hard on weekdays, work overtime every day, and I don't even do anything wrong, but I have suffered this fate."

"What should I say about this matter?" Lin En was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "You should take it easy, this matter may not be so difficult to accept."

"I know, I know." Burns sighed again, and then he said as if to comfort himself: "But thinking about it, I can't blame me, after all, there are many people like me. This time we The number of people fired by the company is actually a lot, about a quarter of the company's total employees
While I'm unlucky to be one of them, but, but."

Burns was silent for a moment, remembering that many old employees with better performance than himself had also been laid off, including the supervisor who liked to mock him every day, and even showed a smile after a long absence.

"But it's actually not too bad."

"You mean, your company laid off nearly a quarter of its employees at once?"

"Almost, maybe even more."

"It is said that the company's profitability has been declining year after year. Who knows what happened."

From Burns' words, Lynn keenly sensed a little ominous meaning.

But before he could think about it carefully, Burns picked up the conversation and said with some melancholy: "Brother Lin En, do you know any jobs that I can do? Is there any suitable channel? Can you introduce me a little bit?" one time?"

"This... I really don't have any channels."

The two had a simple meal and settled the bill. It happened that Lin En had nothing important to deal with, so they wandered around the street.

everything is normal,
The pedestrians passing by along the way are in a hurry. At this point, most of them are white-collar workers with good jobs.

The days of summer are always dragged on for a long time. Looking at the bright neon lights in the distance at dusk, Lynn can't help but lament the unemployment of Burns, and even the unemployment of a quarter of the employees of an e-commerce company has not been reflected in the society. Make any waves.

The economy is still booming,
A very typical example lies in consumption occasions,

There is also the luxurious Golden Bay Casino on the street.

"Why, do you want to go in and take a look?" Burns stopped in front of the Golden Bay Casino for a moment, and suddenly asked Lynn.

"Ah?" Lin En was taken aback, and looked up and down Bones speechlessly: "Didn't you just lose your job? You think you have too much money, don't you?"

"No, it's different." Burns shook his head, hesitated for a while, and then said: "Believe me, I don't go in and out of such occasions very often, except today. According to my experience, the more People who have major changes in their lives are more likely to make a lot of money."

"Are you serious?" Lin En was silent, he thought for a moment, and then said: "Then go in and have a look, but you can play by yourself, I just went in and have a look." After Lin En finished speaking, he still solemnly reminded He said: "I think you should know some cases where you lost money because of gambling. In this kind of place, I hope you will restrain yourself and leave when you lose three hundred points."

Burns nodded, "Of course, I can still distinguish this matter clearly, after all."

"The programmer's brain is still very smart." Burns pointed to his head,
Then they entered the casino with Lynn.

The Golden Bay Casino, located on Clan Street, is arguably one of the biggest casinos in the area, but counterintuitively, it's a mass-market casino, not a high-end one.

People who come from Golden Bay are not always wealthy, even those whose pockets are cleaner than their faces, and occasionally get a little money, they will choose to donate it here. The name is to earn more money. money.

Is there anyone who can earn [-] points with [-] points?

Of course there is,
And there are not many.

As a well-known wealth redistribution center here, a very classic game mode is point comparison, one hundred point comparison, each person draws a poker card, and the one with the larger point gets the opponent's chips. Come to the host at five o'clock.

Once you win, your stake is doubled.

Burns first exchanged [-] points of chips at the front desk, then got some free biscuits and drinks, and then went back to Bidian to take a seat—he really didn’t come to the casino very often. I'm so busy with work that I don't have time to come.

So with so many games in the casino, he almost only plays the simplest one.

Soon, a suitable opponent was matched.

Of course it wasn't Lynn, but a strange bald man.

Lynn was just a spectator, watching with great interest.

Watching others win or lose is a treat as long as you don't get tempted.

The bald man sat down, took another look at Lin En who was standing next to him, and said directly, "Hehe, you are new here, and this machine is usually played by old people."

The bald head chatted with Burns for a while, and the croupier came, briefly introduced the rules of the game, then took a shuffled pile of cards and divided them into two piles, and then put the two piles of cards on the table and spread them out Open, indicating that the two people each choose one.

The order of selection also has its own head, so you have to make a fist to arrange an order.
Lin En became a little interested. This punching is still a skill that he has practiced.

It's funny to say,
When encountering the stealing program by chance at the firefighting place, it was convenient for him to teach himself some thief skills, including this punch.

There is even a lot of learning in it.

Burns punches and loses.

You can only let the bald head take a card first, and then take it later.

But the key is the subsequent comparison. After looking at it for a long time with a bald head, I took out a random card and saw that it was a ten.

Burns brought a K,

According to the rules,

It was Burns who won,

He made a hundred points from it.

The bald man lost a hundred points, and his expression was a little subtle. To Lynn's surprise, he didn't feel dissatisfied and wanted to play another game, but directly gave up his seat to the latecomer.

This latecomer seemed to be a big gambler, so he came up and said to Burns: "Why don't we come to gamble [-] points this time, and whoever wins will take both sides' chips."
