Chapter 398: You won’t live a good life!
On New Year's Eve, Li Jingcheng brought Yao Shanshan back.
Yao Yingsong and Wang Qi did not come back, and they didn't even come back on the second day of the Chinese New Year.
After all, Yao Yingsong is very busy now and has completely settled down in Beijing.
As Wang Qi's identity was also sensitive, Li Yuan did not allow her to move around freely.
It can be said that Yao Yingsong has reached this point without any backing, and the next few years will be very important for him.
Li Yuan did nothing but help him the most.
Li Jingcheng and Yao Shanshan only met a few times before they got married, but the marriage was voluntary for both of them and no one forced them.
Jiang Yiling was very happy. She was originally very angry about her second son's decision, but she was afraid of the comparison.
Li Jingcheng is at least a member of the family. After all, he can go home for the New Year, even if he can only stay at home for two or three days.
Where's that bastard Jiang Shu? He can't , and he won't even make a phone call this year.
She was pissed off by her eldest son!
The second son, who was angry before, turned into a sensible and well-behaved person.
After all, she knew very well what her eldest son was going to do and what her second son was going to do.
The second son should serve as a bridge between Li Yuan and Yao Yingsong, but this bridge does not need to be very strong.
The eldest son wants to distance himself from this relationship and start a new life.
We have to be cautious in everything we do, and the difficulties are unprecedented.
So after Li Jingcheng came over, Jiang Yiling kept smiling, and he was like a completely different person from before.
Jiang Yiling really had no interest in his youngest daughter, Liu Ling, because Liu Ling was becoming more and more disobedient as she grew older, and her academic performance was terrible.
She once suspected that the baby might have been taken away by mistake in the hospital.
How could the child of mine and Li Yuan be so bad?
Li Yuan is different. He is willing to let his child be mediocre. It is not a bad thing to have personality. But... the future son-in-law cannot be too powerful.
Even with his status, it would be easy for him to find an excellent son-in-law, but if it is not true love, it will be a lifelong torture for his daughter.
Anyway, as long as he has Jiang Shu, he is already very satisfied.
He already has a solid foundation for the second generation, so it won't be too bad, and there will be no problem with succession.
He worries about the third generation.
After lunch on New Year’s Eve, many people start to get busy.
The villa, which was originally empty, was now bustling with people.
Set up the venue, prepare tea, and even prepare midnight snacks.
Li Yuan came over after dinner to join in the fun, because Gu Dongsheng and his gang had set up a game.
Specifically catching Yu Yue, the scapegoat.
After all, in the entire village, no one has a more relaxed life than Yu Yue.
This guy can earn tens of billions a year just by lying down every day.
For people of Gu Dongsheng's generation, tens of billions are not a lot. Security team captains like Chen Qi are worth over 10 billion. Hou Wenbin and others have hidden their wealth, but if they want to move it, each of them can take out tens of billions in cash.
But who the hell makes money the easier it gets?
As for the affairs of the Qingtian Group, he is basically just a figurehead. At his age, there is not much work for him to do, so he can just wait for retirement peacefully.
Just from the salary he received from the Qingtian Group, he has received nearly tens of billions over the years.
However, the taxes are also quite heavy. According to him, it is an honor to pay taxes.
What he called glory was the 1% equity dividend of Qingtian Group. With that little dividend, as long as he didn't do something big, he would basically be able to enjoy it for several lifetimes.
He has money and has to spend it. He gets hundreds of millions in cash every year, and he takes out whatever is left at the end of the year.
Just forget about losing.
If you win...
There is no need to think about this because he has never won.
When Li Yuan came over, there was an extremely exaggerated pile of cash around Yu Yue, more than a person's height.
He said, "Old Yu, you saved money this year, how come you still have so much left?"
Yu Yue said with a smile: "It's because I can't buy good stuff. The boss doesn't even like ordinary stuff."
"Fuck, it seems like you're using my money to lose. No wonder you don't feel bad at all."
Li Yuan also sat down, and Gu Dongsheng quickly gave him a card.
It would be better if Li Yuan joined. He is of the same character as Yu Yue, and loses faster.
Of the 30 million tonight, he will definitely win one third, and the remaining two thirds will be divided up by Hou Wenbin and his group.
Who doesn't want cash? I don't know where Yu Yue, this bastard, got so much cash.
They usually don't dare to withdraw any cash because the company has various debts and the bank won't let them withdraw money at all.
Even in the era of full electronicization, cash still plays an irreplaceable role.
Almost all the cash reserves of the entire village were taken up by Yu Yue.
They are too lazy to go to the bank to withdraw millions or tens of millions.
Transferring 10 billion is easier than withdrawing 5 million in cash.
Li Yuan played cards the same way as Yu Yue. He didn't even look at the cards after they were dealt and just threw money into them like crazy.
Smash as many as you can, it won’t open anyway.
Normally, Yu Yue would stop arguing with Li Yuan and take the initiative to open the cards.
But today, there were some surprises.
Yu Yue didn't open it either.
Gu Dongsheng, Hou Wenbin and the others were all a little confused.
More money? Who can compare to you two?
One of them can easily withdraw tens of millions in cash, while the other has no idea how much money he has. I'm afraid that all the money printing machines will be contracted by him.
There was no way. In the end, even if they had big cards in their hands, they had no money to continue investing.
The cards were rather stiff, so Yu Yue waved his hand and said, "Who else wants cash? I have more at home!"
Gu Dongsheng said: "Give me five million in exchange. I don't believe you can hold out for long!"
"Haha, okay, okay, who else wants one? I'll have someone bring them over."
"Pull here, pull here!"
"I'm going to fight you today!"
Half an hour later...
It turns out that no one has more money than Yu Yue and Li Yuan.
Gu Dongsheng was the first to throw away the cards in his hand and said, "Damn it, I don't want to play anymore. You two are such idiots, you are just playing dirty tricks!"
Several others ran away halfway because they had no more cash to throw in.
Generally they play a few hands against each other to determine who has the biggest cards, and then compete with Yu Yue.
As a result, the two families now refused to look at the cards, so there was no way to compete.
Yu Yue: "Haha, let me see the cards!"
When Yu Yue was looking at the cards, a lot of eyes came over to stare.
“Good boy…”
"Fuck..."
"What kind of shitty luck is this..."
"Old Gu, how did you deal the cards?"
No one said what brand Yu Yue was, but it was almost as if they had said it.
As a result, the next second, Yu Yue threw away the cards in his hand and said, "This card is too small, I guess I can't beat the boss."
Gu Dongsheng and his companions were stunned. They grabbed the cards and said, "Old Yu, you are still playing the role of a bootlicker at the card table. If you don't want it, sell this hand to me!"
Yu Yue said indifferently: "Whatever, I won't ask you for money."
Everyone thought that Yu Yue let Li Yuan win the money on purpose. After all, he had a genuine Flush in his hand. Theoretically, the probability of him getting it was even smaller than a bomb.
But according to the rules, nothing is bigger than a bomb.
Normally, the cards were neither big nor small, so it would be fine if they were lost, but this time, what Yu Yue did was really outrageous.
Although the money was not brought to the table, the total amount exceeded 200 million.
What's the point of earning this little money from Li Yuan? He has lost more than 200 million yuan just by losing a hair.
Li Yuan said with a smile: "You can take the cards, let's each take out 50 billion and play the cards. If you win, I will give you 50 billion, and if you lose, you give me 50 billion."
"Playing so big?"
For Gu Dongsheng, it’s not that he can’t get it, but that there is no need to.
Today we are here purely for entertainment. Given the situation of the villagers, who would get so angry over a few hundred thousand dollars?
But 50 billion is different. It would really hurt to lose it.
Even if they believe they will never lose.
"If you don't have money, just go away. Or you can pool your money together. If you win, you'll split it equally anyway."
"Fuck, I have such a bad temper..."
Gu Dongsheng showed his cards directly and said, "678 Shunjin, I'll pay 10 billion, who wants the remaining 40 billion?"
Suspecting Li Yuan of cheating? That's impossible.
The cards were dealt by Gu Dongsheng, and Li Yuan never touched the cards from beginning to end.
How could this guy cheat? Li Yuan was too outrageous.
Those who had not seen the cards before were all excited at this moment.
"Fuck, I'll add 1 billion to thank Mr. Li for the pocket money."
"One billion? So stingy, Li Yuan is clearly giving everyone benefits, I'll give 3 billion."
"I'll give 3 billion too!"
Even people who were not at the table came over to join in the fun.
In less than ten minutes, the 50 billion was collected.
Li Yuan drank a cup of tea, and when he saw that everything was ready, he said, "Okay, let's open it."
Yu Yue came over immediately and opened the first card for Li Yuan with a smile.
3 of Diamonds
The second card.
Clubs 3
Just about to take the third card...
When Gu Dongsheng and the others saw the first two cards, they had a bad feeling.
So Gu Dongsheng hurriedly said, "Wait, I'll open the third card!"
After he finished speaking, he directly pressed the third card, a card that Yu Yue had never touched from beginning to end.
Then, open...
3 of Spades
The crowd immediately exploded.
"Fuck! This is so unscientific!"
"Shunjin encountered a bomb, and it happened specifically to you two. There is no such outrageous thing in the world."
Li Yuan said with a smile: "Okay, just prepare the money honestly. I can accept the bank transfer. I will send you the card number tomorrow!"
Fifty billion is not a small amount for people like them.
Although the average amount per person is not much, taking out 30 to 50 billion in cash will still reduce the cash flow in one's account by more than half.
But the cards are here, and it really happened.
The two guys who haven't opened their cards yet still have the biggest cards in their hands.
Defaulting on a debt? There's no benefit in ignoring a debt to Li Yuan.
Not to mention 50 billion, even if it was 500 billion or 5 trillion, it wasn't worth it to default on the debt to Li Yuan.
But the necessary heartache is inevitable.
Moreover, all the cash on the scene was won by Li Yuan, and everyone was left with no money.
This guy Li Yuan has only won a big one in recent years. He won occasionally before, but always lost in the end.
His card-playing habit means he will never win.
"Old Yu, please help me deliver this cash to my home and let my dad take it. I'm leaving now."
After Li Yuan finished speaking, he stood up and left.
The game of cards would definitely not be able to continue because no one had any cash.
After Li Yuan left, Yu Yue arranged for people to pack the money, while the others gathered around Gu Dongsheng. After all, the least they had lost was 1 billion... They had never thought they would lose so much in their lives.
"Old Gu, I don't know how much I'll have to run next year to earn back the money you gave me."
Gu Dongsheng said helplessly: "I have suffered the most losses, where can I go to seek justice?"
"Fuck, this deck of cards is so fucking weird!"
"Is there a possibility that Li Yuan had fortune-telling done when he went out today?"
"Um?"
"Um?"
"Hmm?"
When everyone heard this, they were all horrified.
Everyone knows that Li Yuan’s fortune telling on December 31, 2023, directly ruined his life.
He is a person recognized by the whole world as being able to communicate with gods.
But since then, Li Yuan no longer talked about anything related to hexagrams, and everyone gradually forgot that Li Yuan had this skill.
If he was fortune-teller, then that's possible.
You have to believe it even if you don't want to, this is too weird!
Why can't he just look at the cards and bet 50 billion?
This is because Li Yuan was holding back. Even if he wanted to play with 100 billion, everyone would definitely accompany him to the end. After all, it was money given for free.
Gu Dongsheng said: "I'll go ask him!"
After saying that, he also left the villa hall and found Li Yuan strolling at the end of the village.
Li Yuan said with a smile: "You did a good job."
Gu Dongsheng: "Haha, just a little trick."
From the beginning to the end, it was Li Yuan and Gu Dongsheng who performed the show. Of course, Yu Yue, the supporting actor, was also indispensable.
It's nothing more than a warning to that group of people to stop doing anything behind the scenes. Li Yuan will definitely collect the 50 billion this time, and no family will be left out.
The group has grown larger over the years. Even though the relationship in the village is very harmonious and no one dares to have any second thoughts about Li Yuan, selfishness has long been rampant.
It is inevitable that many people will make some small moves, which have not yet led to big mistakes, but as their ambitions grow, something bad will happen sooner or later.
Gu Dongsheng said: "After hearing that you can tell fortunes, they all became scared. This time, the warning should be effective."
Li Yuan said: "Actually, I can tell fortunes, but I'm too lazy to use it on such trivial matters."
Gu Dongsheng: “…”
Damn, I just helped you beat up someone else, and you turned around and tried to beat me up.
Even if you can tell fortunes, I'm not doing anything wrong in the company, so there's no need for me to do anything wrong.
Seeing that Gu Dongsheng didn't believe it, Li Yuan continued, "Twenty-one years later, when Jiang Shu is forty-five years old, he will be back!"
Gu Dongsheng shuddered all over.
"really?"
"Haha, it really can't be fake!"
Gu Dongsheng was silent for a while, then said, "Then I will get married with Gu Man's mother after the new year."
"It's Gu Yu!"
"good!"
Li Yuan smiled and said, "Remember to call Gu Yu to come to the meeting tonight. Tonight's meeting may be a bit long. It will also be the last meeting I will host."
"Are you really going to retire?"
"What else? I'm over 40, and more than half of my life has passed."
Gu Dongsheng said: "You can tell fortunes, right? Tell your own fortune."
Li Yuan smiled slightly and did not answer.
He had already calculated it for himself.
You won’t live a good life!
He was reluctant to die. He had to see the third generation rise up and take a look at the fourth generation before he could leave with peace of mind.
