my old life

Chapter 2303
As soon as I thought that it might be someone from Prince Long who came to the door, I secretly became vigilant in my heart, and I said that I would not engage in such a three-to-one poker game.

Mr. Long is the host here. How many cards does he need to play mahjong?Why did you find me here? This is a problem!

Now I have nothing but a proxy in my hand, but Mike didn't give any reminder.

I sit at the mahjong table and start shuffling the cards. I know some simple cheats, but they don't work here.

Firstly, I don’t need to risk thousands of dollars on the mahjong table, and secondly, I’m not short of one star and a half of money. Winning or losing depends on luck.

Mike smoked his cigar and didn't speak, he put on a look of staying out of it, and I felt more confident!
In various occasions, most of the time others will not clearly say what to do, and many times you have to figure out the meaning by yourself through observation.

Mike stayed out of it because he didn't intend to participate in it. What he didn't participate in must be about me, so it's clearer in my heart!

"Mr. Long, who is this boss?" I asked politely, the age gap can't wait for someone to ask me.

In occasions, younger people take the initiative to speak out to show respect. If you wait for the older people to speak first, you will become ignorant of the rules.

Most of the time, older people take the initiative to ask questions, just to be polite, otherwise the atmosphere will be even more embarrassing if they don't take the initiative to ask.

"This is Boss Gao, my old friend!" Mr. Long introduced, and I immediately got up to shake hands.

"It's a pleasure meeting you, Boss Gao."

"I'm glad to meet you. Young people nowadays are full of vitality. Sooner or later, this world will be dominated by you! Hahahaha!"

As soon as I heard this, I knew it in my heart. This guy has a very high posture, and he is saying that he is a veteran and veteran.

"Boss Gao is too polite."

What kind of person says something on the occasion, usually three sentences to meet each other can figure out the status of the other party, of course, the premise is that the other party intends to disclose information.

When Boss Gao called me a young man, it was obvious that he put himself on a higher level. Even though he said it politely, I knew it clearly.

In the past, my second uncle often told me about the rules of the rivers and lakes. A person who understands the rules is considered to understand the society. This is the most basic social skills.

From my point of view, Boss Gao's appearance is unattractive. He doesn't have the evil spirit of a quack, nor the smoothness and shrewdness of a businessman. Instead, he has the feeling of a second shopkeeper.

In the arena, the big shopkeeper represents the person who has the final say, and the second shopkeeper is the staff who specializes in making suggestions. Most of these people rely on their brains for food.

A person's taste can be judged by dressing, and more often, a person's social status can also be figured out.

Boss Gao wore a black and gray shirt obviously for the sake of orthodoxy, which meant that he didn't come to play mahjong, but rather to talk about business.

His gold Rolex business watch doesn't match his shirt, such a watch is either worn by a business gold collar or by an old ruffian in a floral shirt!

Generally, those who wear emerald rings and jade rings on their fingers are mostly old people with high morals and high prestige, followed by people from the rivers and lakes with a certain social status. Such things belong to the minority.

I just thought that this guy should be the second shopkeeper in the world, a person who mainly relies on his brain for food. He temporarily changed into an orthodox and decent shirt, but it couldn't cover up his whole aura.

If the black and gray shirt on his body is now replaced with a patterned shirt, then he is typically a wealthy social person, and he still belongs to the old world with a certain social status.

If the floral blouse was open at the neckline to reveal a gold chain and tattoos, the look would be absolutely nothing.

"It's rare to play cards at ordinary times. Nowadays, people are only focused on doing business but forget to keep in good health..." Mr. Long said meaningfully, obviously implying.

Tonight's poker game doesn't look like a leisure and health poker game, so the rest is a business game. Mr. Long clarified the purpose of tonight in one sentence.

I didn't say anything and continued to play cards. I didn't think about how to win this hand. I just wanted to know if this guy was a dog sent by Prince Long!
It has only been less than six hours since I saw the eight-faced ghost this afternoon. From getting the news to thinking, it is obviously too late to go here from Tianhe.

Unless this guy was here originally, but he just didn't show up in the afternoon, or he rushed over from somewhere after receiving the news...

No matter what this guy's background is, as long as he asks for something, he will definitely speak up, so I just need to stay the same and respond to all changes!
At this moment, I suddenly understood why Mike seemed to stay out of the matter, and he probably guessed the purpose of this game a long time ago!
"Mr. Long and I are old acquaintances, but why don't you introduce these two friends to me? I like making friends with young people the most."

What Boss Gao said was not obvious, and Mr. Long immediately laughed. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that he has something in his heart!
"This is Mike, and this is his friend Hawkeye... Boss Gao has been doing business in international trade. If you need anything in the future, just look for him."

Mr. Long's level of introducing people is very high. He didn't just introduce each other's names, but invisibly helped us win connections.

He used the word 'despite' to indicate the familiarity of the relationship, but the more he showed familiarity in the arena, the more he showed unfamiliarity. This is the truth that my second uncle told me!
"I'm happy to help everyone." Boss Gao took the initiative to hand out business cards, but handing out business cards with one hand gave people a sense of aloofness.

Generally, no matter what your identity or business is, sending a business card with both hands shows respect. If a person doesn't even respect potential customers, then what else can he respect?
In fact, this detail shows that Boss Gao is not a real boss. He is not used to handing out business cards, nor is he used to handing out business cards with both hands.

I took the business card and glanced at it. On the business card, it was a certain Sino-Ocean International Trading Company with the title of general manager.

I twisted the business card with my hand slightly, and the ink immediately polluted the surroundings. I saw that the business card was just made, and it even smelled of fresh ink!
Generally, the ink will solidify within 24 hours, but it will not form a solid state, and it will take at least a week to dry completely.

I put the business card in my pocket and didn't say anything. I used to use fake business cards when I was a scammer. A business card doesn't mean anything.

Many people judge a person's identity and strength through business cards, but business cards are printed for money, even the general manager of Landing on the Moon Company!
"Mike is also an old friend of mine. He is definitely a model of young and promising. This friend also hides his secrets and has a big business."

Mr. Long introduced me and Mike with a smile, but he was completely farting, but there was no obvious flaw in the sound.

Through this detail, I can conclude that Mr. Long and Boss Gao are not familiar at all, and they just got a chance to get to know each other through a game of cards, and use the game of cards to discuss business...

"I like to be friends with young people the most. Let's communicate more in the future!" Boss Gao said with a smile, and his words were full of closeness.

Mike smoked a cigar with a calm face. He didn't speak from the beginning to the end, but just looked down at the mahjong tiles in front of him.

I know he doesn't care about winning or losing the game, this is just a reasonable way to avoid suspicion, and it also creates opportunities for me.

"If there is a chance to cooperate in the future, I hope Boss Gao will take care of you!" I flattered with a smile, showing a gesture of maintaining the relationship.

Mike can keep silent at the moment but I can't, from the beginning Mike played the outsider, so it's up to me tonight.

"I don't know what business my brother is doing now?" Boss Gao changed the subject and finally got to the point. After going around for a long time, this was his real purpose.

"I'm currently engaged in the online gambling agency business, relying on Mr. Long to make a living."

"Hey, hey, you can't say that!" Mr. Long waved his hand immediately, and I thought, is he trying to tear things down?
The atmosphere became tense in an instant, I smiled and didn't continue to say anything, everyone's eyes fell on Mr. Long...
