Island Tycoon

Chapter 308
Bad gambling is sometimes no different from taking drugs or whoring. Once addicted, it is difficult to quit.Now this situation is perfect for Zhou Xingchi.

For the sake of his own future, Zhou Xingchi tried to raise his heart to quit gambling, but every time he didn't have enough concentration.Zhou Xingchi, who was acquainted at the gambling table, couldn't help but bet twice when he saw the gambling equipment after some provocations, or they didn't need to make a sound at all.

Especially in the recent period, Qing Deng has no new production plan for the time being.As a result, Wu Mengda couldn't get any chores, so his younger brother was also idle, so he devoted a lot of time to the gambling table.

At this time, Zhou Xingchi was leaning on a corner of the gaming table and reading the newspaper. What he was concerned about was that the movie "The True Colors of a Hero" successfully broke through 3000 million, and the three leading actors in the movie had a huge increase in their worth.

At the banquet held by Qingdeng and Princess Jin, Ye Jingcheng, the proprietor, was even more generous in dividends, ranging from a few thousand yuan for each staff member to as much as 50 yuan for actors paid by Zhou Run. "Jackie Chan" became an instant hit even more spectacular.

If I didn't contradict Ye Sheng at the beginning, would he be a part of the starring role of this movie?From Zhou Xingchi's point of view, there are eight out of ten.
Although his acting skills are not as good as Zhou Runfa's, and the age of the character is not as suitable as Dillon's.But he felt that he could also master the role played by this newcomer named Zhang Guorong, and it was even possible that this role originally belonged to him.

Zhou Xingchi suddenly had mixed feelings, if he could live up to it.Given that he entered Qingdeng Entertainment first, he has already been more prosperous than Zhou Runfa and the others.Now because of the bad habit of bad gambling, he has been thinking about winning money all day long, but he doesn't know that he has lost his greatest wealth.

"Hey, are you here to gamble, or to read the newspapers." The banker said with a grim face when he saw that Zhou Xingchi was occupying a seat and did not place a bet.

Zhou Xingchi looked at the one hundred yuan that he held tightly in his hand because of his excitement.He made up his mind again and said, "One hundred yuan, buy a big one."

He decided to gamble all the capital in his hand, and would never gamble again anyway. It is not known whether he can persist.

……

"You bastard, you know that there are people fighting there, so why go over there to join in the fun." A teacher took her twelve or thirteen-year-old son to go shopping. The son was attracted by the situation not far away, and the teacher hurriedly pulled his ear and pulled back.

"Mom, they are not fighting, they are obviously beating someone." The son said with a little innocence.

"It's fine to hit someone, or fight. You don't meddle in other people's business, and be careful that they beat you too." The teacher took her son away cursing.

The conversation between the two attracted Wu Junru, who was wandering on the street, and she turned her attention to the beating scene not far away. She subconsciously prepared to take a detour.

"Oops—" the beaten man let out a scream, and begged for mercy to a few young and Dangerous boys, "Boss, don't hit the head."

"Why is the voice so familiar?" Wu Junru once thought she heard it wrong, but when she took a few steps up to look, she found that the person who was beaten was actually Zhou Xingchi. I can't change the habit of bad gambling.

"It deserves it!" Wu Junru was inexplicably angry.

She made up her mind to ignore the other party and turned around to leave, but she didn't take a few steps, and her heart was full of compassion. It seemed too cruel to ignore the other party's life and death like this, no matter how she and the other party were also friends.

And look at that group of young and Dangerous boys, if she doesn't go up to save the scene, Zhou Xingchi will definitely kill him if he doesn't talk about it.

"Damn pretty boy, how dare you learn how to bet on whiteheads if you don't have money!? I'm not here when you're a chicken brother?" This chicken brother is the spectator of this gambling stall. The latter produces a pang of visceral displacement.

"Chicken...Chicken brother...I don't want to give money." Zhou Xingchi knelt on the ground without spine, and said flatteringly: "It's just that it's not convenient these days. Your lord has a lot of money, just treat it as an emergency."

Originally, he really planned to leave after finishing the gamble.But the rooster told him unkindly, anyway, everyone is so familiar, it doesn’t matter if you don’t have money, you must place a bet first and then settle the settlement.As a result... he once again stepped into the mud puddle with insufficient concentration.

"Emergency in Jianghu? Are you stupid for gambling? Do you think you are Brother Mark or Brother Hao?" Brother Ji slapped Zhou Xingchi's face a few times.

"It's not as good as this." Judging from the other party's words and deeds, Zhou Xingchi knew that this matter could not be good.

So I groped my whole body, and found that I really had nothing to use as collateral, then looked at my sleeves, and suggested: "Brother Chicken, my casual outfit is from a famous brand, the original price is more than 3000 yuan, and there is a single According to it, can I discount a few hundred yuan with you now?"

"Is this rotten thing of yours worth a few hundred yuan?" Brother Ji held Zhou Xingchi's collar. It was originally a good casual outfit, but it was stained a lot with the beating just now, and there were several cracks in it.

Of course, Brother Ji will not be responsible for this matter, not to mention that selling second-hand appliances such as household appliances can be exchanged for money. A second-hand branded clothing these days is actually no different from a piece of cloth.A few words from you are like offsetting this gambling debt, it is very difficult.

"Brother Chicken, it's useless for you to force me like this. I don't even have half a penny on me now." Zhou Xingchi spread out and said.

"I don't have any money, right? Okay! You can pay your gambling debts, but don't worry, I don't want you to be a duck, and no one will want a duck like you." Brother Ji clenched his fists and snapped his fingers, and twisted again. There was a rattling sound when I moved my neck. "Today, you're just going to be a cameo as a human sandbag, and you'll pay me enough money for Brother Ji, and your gambling debt will be written off. Anyway, I haven't loosened my muscles for several days."

Jige Mazai controlled Zhou Xingchi cooperatively, and tightly grasped his hands and feet.Facing Brother Chicken who kept approaching, Zhou Xingchi could only shout loudly: "Brother Chicken, it's not good!".

"Don't do anything!!!" Suddenly, a figure rushed over, separating Brother Ji and Zhou Xingchi from the middle.

The person who rushed over was Wu Junru, and when Brother Ji reacted, he first looked at Wu Junru a few times, and then called the woman in front of him who was much more mature than her face: "Auntie, what are you expecting? Don't worry about it." No business."

"Everyone, you just want money, not your life." Wu Junru took out her small purse in a panic, and said calmly, "I'll help him, how much does he owe you?"

"This handsome boy gave me five hundred credits at the gaming table, and he would pay back six hundred and five if he got out of thirteen times. In addition, he wasted a lot of my time, so he would just give me a round number of 1000 yuan." He said generously. .

"You...!" Zhou Xingchi was about to speak when Brother Ji stared at him viciously.Wu Junru also stopped his words, counted out 1000 yuan from her purse, and said, "Okay, now that the two are settled, can we go?"

"You're a pretty guy. Although my girlfriend looks a little ordinary. But she still looks rich. I'll just spend some time on eating soft food in the future." The chicken brother is naturally happy when he gets the money, but Before leaving, he did not forget to sneer at Zhou Xingchi.

Finding a corner, Wu Junru helped Zhou Xingchi to sit down.I went to a nearby store to buy a bottle of mineral water, and then took out a handkerchief to wipe Zhou Xingchi's wound.

This action made Zhou Xingchi grin his teeth in pain, Wu Junru was inexplicably sad, and warned: "Xingzi, you really don't want to gamble anymore, you also know that those young and Dangerous boys are inhuman, it is not so lucky to meet me every time. "

Zhou Xingchi glanced at Wu Junru, and said calmly, "Xiao Ru, thank you this time."

"Everyone is a friend, thank you for what you say." Wu Junru said helplessly: "If you really think about it and put some effort into quitting your gambling addiction, you still have a chance to become popular."

Seeing that the other party hesitated to speak, Zhou Xingchi asked, "Do you know something?"

"I only know that the company will have a new artist contract recently, and your name is on the list. I think the company's arrangement proves that they haven't completely given up on you." Wu Junru revealed everything she knew.

Immediately, Zhou Xingchi fell into deep thought. What Wu Junru said was not unreasonable. If the company really gave up on him, there was no need to sign a new contract with him.

"Xiao Ru, I want to meet Ye Sheng, can you help me this time?" Zhou Xingchi asked.

"This... Maybe I can't help you." Wu Junru stammered.

"That's right, how can Ye Sheng have time to see me for a scumbag like me." Zhou Xingchi smiled self-deprecatingly, he didn't live up to it, and wanted others to give him a chance.

"Ah Xing, don't do this." Seeing that Zhou Xingchi misunderstood her meaning, Wu Junru explained: "It's not that I don't want to help you, but that Ye Sheng went to Dawan, and you and I can't catch up to Taiwan." side?"

"Did Ye Sheng go to Dawan?" Zhou Xingchi naturally couldn't know Ye Jingcheng's itinerary, but this matter made him feel relieved.It seems that he doesn't have no friends at all, at least Wu Junru can help him.

Wu Junru didn't know what Zhou Xingchi was thinking, so she nodded and said, "That's right, the morning flight, I heard it's for the Golden Horse Awards."

After the topic ended, Zhou Xingchi asked Wu Junru with some embarrassment: "Xiao Ru, can you lend me a few hundred more yuan?"

"Are you still gambling?" Wu Junru sighed, subconsciously thinking that Zhou Xingchi was still gambling, and he didn't give him any good looks at all.

"Believe me, this time it's really not gambling." Zhou Xingchi reassured

"Really? Then what do you need money for? Don't tell me about eating and paying rent." He hesitated and took out his small purse, which had already deflated more than half of Zhou Xingchi's debt just now.The money was originally intended to be used for this month's living expenses, but now it seems that I have been withdrawn from an ATM again.

"Just treat it like I'm taking the money to see a bone trauma doctor." Seeing that Wu Junru was unwilling to hand out a few hundred yuan, Zhou Xingchi took the initiative to take the money, then stood up and patted his buttocks to leave.

"Hey! Did you just leave after taking the money?" Zhou Xingchi ignored Wu Junru's call. He wanted to stand up again, but he still needed to deal with one thing.
