Chapter 990 - Getting Some Booze Money
Chapter 250 of "My Super Beautiful Lady Boss" starts revealing surprises: Looking at Su Xuan, I thought to myself, what kind of theory is this? How... Read on!
Looking at Su Xuan, I thought to myself, what kind of theory is this? How come Iâve never heard of it before? Youâre really full of nonsense."Youâre the one who fell in love early, your whole family fell in love early. I, mine wasnât early love, I was just being naĂŻve!"
Shu Xin quickly explained, thinking how could this guy say that? Talking about those things from back then is really a bit embarrassing.
"Su Xuan, I donât care, I want to drink the 1982 Lafite!"
Shu Xin said with an invincible demeanor, and when she finished speaking, Su Xuan felt speechless, thinking to himself, arenât you asking for trouble? I only have two hundred yuan in my pocket, and you still want Lafite? You really can dream.
"Alright, Iâm a pretty caring person. Since youâve been through such a jerk, Iâll treat you to a bottle today, but I donât have enough money now. Wait for a while, Iâll go get some money for the wine first!"
Su Xuan said as he got up and started heading towards the gambling table, and Shu Xin quickly called out.
"Wait, wait, what are you doing? Iâm telling you, you canât have a gambling mindset. Gambling is not a legitimate industry. Arenât you rich? I heard youâre the âsecond generation of wealthâ!"
Shu Xin unexpectedly started lecturing Su Xuan, and Su Xuan was speechless, saying.
"Who told you Iâm the second generation of wealth? If I were, would I be working as security for a small boss?"
Su Xuan put on a helpless look and then said.
"I canât help it. After all, youâre so beautiful. Iâve always had little resistance to pretty women. Itâs really hard to refuse a big beauty like you when you make such a request."
Su Xuan said with a mischievous grin, his words always leaving others with mixed feelings. Shu Xin clearly knew that he was probably lying, but hearing him say that still made her quite happy and even a bit warm inside.
Women are truly auditory creatures; even when they know men might not be telling the truth, theyâll still feel happy and content.
"Then, let me go with you. Iâm quite lucky. After all, Iâm called the Gambling Hero. With me helping you on the sidelines, there shouldnât be a problem!"
Shu Xin quickly said, her enthusiasm for joining the fun as strong as ever.
"Uh, alright then, letâs go. Today, my friend, Iâll take you all over the world."
Su Xuan didnât hesitate, casually placing a hand on Shu Xinâs shoulder, and the two approached the gambling table like they were old pals. Anyone might find Shen Ruoqiu speechless, wondering what kind of people would go to the gambling table to earn money for drinks.
But sometimes, Shen Ruoqiu really envied Shu Xin, seeing how much fun Shu Xin and Su Xuan were having. That feeling was something he envied a lot. At least, he could never be so carefree and unrestrained.
"Yeah, won again! Wow, Su Xuan, youâre really the Gambling God! Amazing, haha, and my title as the Gambling Hero really isnât just for show."
At this moment, Shu Xin was ecstatic. When Su Xuan sat down at the gambling table, he almost went all in every time, and every time he won. After just five rounds, he already had quite a bit of money in front of him. Seeing this, Shu Xin was filled with emotion, realizing why so many people are captivated by the allure of casinos; itâs not something easily resisted.
Su Xuan spent less than half an hour in that casino, yet his initial hundred yuan had skyrocketed to over ten thousand. Such an explosive increase was truly incredible.
At that moment, she suddenly understood the words Su Xuan had said to her before: true gamblers arenât people you can reason with, especially those who have sunk in deep. Itâs pointless to think you can reason with them because gamblers have gone through a lot on their journey. Theyâre more aware of the reasons than anyone else, but thereâs an aspect called human nature.
In such circumstances, human nature is hard to control. When faced with human nature, you simply canât handle it, and to help a gambler break free, the most crucial thing is to release them using humanity.
Generally, there are only two outcomes for gamblers; one is accumulating a mountain of debt, then having no money left to continue, thus forced to quit gambling. After cooling down for a while, they might look back and feel they were so foolish.
The other outcome for a gambler is suicide, jumping to their death because gamblers hit dead ends often. In the quest for a comeback, they donât think much; they just focus on recovering their losses, which is their ultimate goal, leading to borrowing more money and sinking deeper into trouble, eventually facing utter collapse.
Almost no gambler turns back just from persuasion; itâs either because the fall was too severe, or they realized the seriousness of the situation themselves.
And people who can truly control themselves, those who can give and take freely, are rare, and they can be very scary because their actions are calculated, with deep foresight. Once they decide on something, itâs hard to deter them, even with ten oxen.
Su Xuan said this because he had seen such a person. Back in college, there was a classmate who accidentally got involved in online gambling, a ten-minute cycle game. The claimed probability of winning was as high as 80%, marketed as low-risk, high-reward.
It spread quickly in college, with everyone thinking they could earn some pocket money. Initially, those who played indeed made some small gains. However, gambling soon twisted their mindset. In this world, everything usually requires gradual steps, but things at casinos come too easily, leading to their distorted mindset.
Many people fell into it. They started with intentions of earning some pocket money, but eventually became irrational, taking bigger risks, leading to numerous losses and creating quite a stir at school.
Some used student loans and still lost money, and although Su Xuan didnât take part, he did know someone named Guo Ruojun.
