Humph, with the skills I learned in my later life to pick up girls, I must help Director Qi avenge the grudge he has been obsessed with.

Chen Yang stood upstairs, secretly watching Qi Tongwei leave, feeling a little proud of his own charm.

Qi Tongwei is quite handsome and humorous, but unfortunately he is poor and has no background. Let's just be friends with him first.

They are called friends, but in fact they are what people in later generations call spare tires.

Chen Yang is not someone who makes a bet easily. Although Qi Tongwei gave her a good impression at first, with her family background and her father being an old red star and a department-level cadre, it is difficult for her to get into the eyes of ordinary men.

Qi Tongwei understands this better than Chen Yang.

Chen Yanshi looks down on Qi Tongwei for complicated reasons, and perhaps the reason lies with Chen Yang.

Chen Yanshi was born into a wealthy family, so he shouldn't be so superficial. How could an outstanding young man fail to impress him?

And they have one very similar point: they have all fought for their lives and shed blood for this world.

Chapter 4: Golden Flower

When I returned to the dormitory, it was filled with smoke.

The four sons of powerful families changed from eating and drinking to playing poker, puffing smoke as fireworks flickered.

The other three were angry but dared not say anything. They could only hide at the end of the house, lean on the windowsill and breathe fresh air.

These four children still have the ability to study, but now without the constraints of their parents, they instantly indulge themselves.

For them, the road ahead has already been laid out. All they need to do to come to Handong University is to get a diploma. As for studying, it is not only irrelevant, but also optional.

This era is the best of times and the worst of times.

As the economy boomed, people became impetuous, and the trends of hedonism, comparison and gambling were no less prevalent than in later generations.

In such an environment, the children who are on the front line are the first to be affected and will naturally follow suit.

Qi Tongwei looked at the money on the table and took a quick glance, there were at least thousands of dollars.

This is no small amount.

Qi Tongwei worked as a laborer on a construction site some time ago and earned only five yuan a day. More than a thousand yuan was enough for Qi Tongwei to work hard for half a year.

Thinking of this, Qi Tongwei came up with a plan.

"Are you playing poker?"

Fried Golden Flower is a form of poker. Each player is dealt three cards and the winner is determined by comparing the size of the cards.

From largest to smallest, they are divided into leopard, straight gold, golden flower, straight, pair, and scattered cards.

However, because the cards are dealt covered, no one knows what cards you have except yourself. You can also use small cards to cheat the opponent's big cards by raising the bet, making them dare not call the bet. This is because some places call fried golden flowers "zha golden flowers".

Therefore, this is also a game of momentum, financial resources and psychology.

"Why, you want to come too?" one of the fat men asked with a smile.

Qi Tongwei already knew from Ma Xiaojun that the fat man's name was Luo Jianguo. His father was the director of a district bureau under Jingzhou City and his family background was the most prominent among the four.

"Jianguo, look at the way this kid is dressed. How can he play a card game like ours? I'm afraid he can't even place a few bets." Another boy who was also a little fat laughed.

The fat boy is named Li Ronghua. His family is in business. According to Ma Xiaojun, Li Ronghua was sent to school by a special driver. These snacks were also brought by him, and many of them are foreign brands.

Li Ronghua's ridicule was unreasonable.

In the game of fried golden flowers, you need to place a bottom bet before the cards are dealt, and the bottom bet is determined according to the established rules.

The base bet they placed was one dollar, and each bet must not be less than one dollar.

The base of one dollar was not much different from one hundred dollars in later generations. For poor students like them, it was already a lot.

Because ordinary college students like them only have 20 or 30 yuan a month for living expenses, and those from poor families have even less.

Qi Tongwei smiled, came to the table, took out a passbook from his pocket and threw it on the table, "I really don't have much money on me, I'll leave this passbook here, can I join your card game?"

Qi Tongwei's previous life was at least an expert in gambling. In order to climb up the ladder, he often gave money to his superiors in card games. Could it be that his ability to read people's expressions is not as good as that of a few teenagers?

Although these students are considered to be knowledgeable and experienced, they are nothing compared to Qi Tongwei who came later.

Luo Jianguo picked up the passbook, and the balance of 342 yuan was clearly printed on it.

"Forget it, you should keep the money." Luo Jianguo smiled and threw the passbook to Qi Tongwei.

Luo Jianguo didn't really want to win Qi Tongwei's money. These few hundred dollars were just a drop in the bucket for people like him, but for a poor student like Qi Tongwei, it might be life-saving money that would starve him to death.

"No, Jianguo, we are classmates, it's okay to play around. Even if you lose everything, can I just stand by and watch you die?"

Li Ronghua was not willing to do that. His father always said that the business world was like a battlefield and there should be no mercy.

Besides, Li Ronghua also wanted to find a follower to help him wash clothes and serve meals. At present, Qi Tongwei and Ma Xiaojun are the most suitable ones in the dormitory. As long as he wins all of Qi Tongwei's money, Qi Tongwei, who has nowhere else to go, will naturally listen to him obediently.

Luo Jianguo looked at the "touched" Qi Tongwei and reminded him: "Classmate, you have to think carefully."

Qi Tongwei pretended not to understand the deep meaning of Luo Jianguo's words, scratched his head, and smiled innocently: "This classmate is right, it's just a game, if I lose, I lose, and then I can borrow some money from him to get through it."

Luo Jianguo was very angry and secretly cursed Qi Tongwei for being a nerd. There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world and he might not know how he will die when the time comes.

Li Ronghua grinned and took Qi Tongwei's passbook. "You can leave your passbook here with me. I'll lend you 400 yuan first."

After saying that, he took out three blue hundred-yuan bills from his pocket, and then took out ten ten-yuan bills from the capital in front of him and placed them in front of Qi Tongwei.

Qi Tongwei took the money happily, looking like a gambler.

The four players ended the previous game with Luo Jianguo winning, and then Luo Jianguo became the banker and dealt the cards.

Luo Jianguo shuffled the cards quickly, and everyone threw their bets into the middle of the game.

The other three people were envious and admired when they saw that Qi Tongwei dared to sit at the card table and play cards with these young men.

They admire Qi Tongwei's courage and envy him for being able to break into other people's circles. If they were betting such a big amount, they would have become weak-handed long ago. How could they be as calm as Qi Tongwei?

The cards were in place, and the person sitting below Luo Jianguo was a pockmarked man named Zhang Weiping, whose family worked as middle-level cadres in a certain county.

Li Ronghua said: "Weiping, be more depressed, the fight is too small, it's not exciting at all."

Zhang Weiping didn't respond, he threw down two dollars, and said with a smile, "Two dollars for nothing, we can't compare to you, a rich young man."

Next after Zhang Weiping is Qi Tongwei.

In the first round, Qi Tongwei didn't want to lose momentum, so he also threw in two pieces to follow up.

The man sitting next to Qi Tongwei is also a shop owner named Zhao Lei, but he is not as rich as Li Ronghua's family.

Zhao Lei followed suit, and when it was Li Ronghua's turn, he immediately raised his secret bet and threw in a ten-yuan note.

The three people watching from a distance couldn't help but exclaim in their hearts, especially Ma Xiaojun, who stared blankly at the ten-yuan note.

Ten yuan was his living expenses for most of the month, but he just threw it into the card table with ease.

This moment also made Ma Xiaojun realize how big the gap is between people.

Li Ronghua's raise did not scare Luo Jianguo. With Luo Jianguo's call, it was the second round's turn to call.

Qi Tongwei did not continue to call, but picked up the cards and looked at them to see if he had any luck.

The capital is insufficient, so the momentum is somewhat lacking. Let's observe a few rounds first to see everyone's playing style.

It is important to understand other people's micro-expressions.

There are certain rules for what cards to use, how much to bet, and whether or not to bluff. Only by understanding the rules can you better detect the opponent's cheating behavior and kill him with one blow.

Chapter 5 Sha Ruijin

There were no good cards in the first hand, so Qi Tongwei simply folded and did not follow.

In the next hour, Qi Tongwei walked very cautiously and was less depressed. This way he could ensure that he would not gain nothing if he played big cards, and he could also ensure that he would not lose too much.

An hour was enough for Qi Tongwei to figure out the personalities of the four people, and since he had a pretty good luck, he won dozens of dollars.

Li Ronghua doesn't care much about money and likes to be secretive. He seems to be noisy on the surface, making it difficult for people to tell whether he has any cards in his hand. However, Qi Tongwei still noticed some subtle changes in his betting actions.

Luo Jianguo is more steady. When he bets big cards, his breathing will fluctuate slightly. He seems to be neither hurried nor slow in placing the hook nor raising the bet, but in fact, the young man's mentality is difficult to control.

The other two people are not as confident as these two, so it is easier for people to see the truth of their cards.

On the other hand, Qi Tongwei would call and harvest if he had a card, but this would easily scare away his opponents.

After understanding his opponent, Qi Tongwei changed his style and began to close the net. His eyes became sharp and his attacks were powerful. He caught Li Ronghua trying to steal the ball several times and gained a lot.

More than two hours later, Qi Tongwei discovered Li Ronghua's attempt to steal a chicken again and followed him to the end.

Li Ronghua hesitated for a moment, then put his cards back into the deck, "I don't want them anymore."

I don't even have an A in my hand, and it's not worth spending twenty to open Qi Tongwei's cards and betting that his hand is not as big as mine.

As for the others, they had already been scared away by Li Ronghua's increase in bets, and Qi Tongwei once again received nearly 100 yuan in income.

"Tongwei, you are great. Every time I steal a chicken, you come and play cards." Li Ronghua said angrily.

Li Ronghua didn’t care about the hundred dollars or so. What he cared about was that he lost to Qi Tongwei every time.

"It's just luck. The business is still going on, and the win or loss is unknown." Qi Tongwei smiled slightly.

In fact, he didn't have a big ace in his hand either. Sometimes when playing poker, what he plays for is momentum.

After shuffling the cards quickly and preparing to move on to the next hand, Luo Jianguo interrupted.

"Forget it, forget it, it's getting late, let's just stop here first."

The setting sun outside the window shines on the wall, and an afternoon of beautiful youth has passed.

Some of them were also a little hungry.

"Okay, I don't have much cash on me, let's continue tomorrow." Li Ronghua shrugged.

Having lost nearly one thousand yuan, Li Ronghua's wallet was almost exhausted. He ended up losing more than he gained.

Qi Tongwei nodded, thinking it was a pity.

Putting away the banknotes in front of him, Qi Tongwei said, "Thank you Ronghua for showing mercy. How about this, I will treat everyone to dinner tonight."

Qi Tongwei won more than 1,200 yuan in a game of cards, while everyone else lost more or less.

The huge profits even made Ma Xiaojun and the other two who were watching the game almost stunned.

If you don't spit out a little, it will easily cause people to be disgusted, and you're still hoping for a long-term relationship in the future.

After a game of cards, several people realized that Qi Tongwei was playing the pig to eat the tiger.

Li Ronghua was still a little resentful and didn't want to go, but he couldn't resist the persuasion of Luo Jianguo and everyone else, so he followed everyone to the nearby restaurants.

Qi Tongwei called the other three and chose a restaurant of fairly good quality.

College students in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s were not as common as those in later generations. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are the future elites.

And since I also come from the Department of Political Science and Law, I will always be useful in the future.

Qi Tongwei is still willing to invest some costs.

Qi Tongwei didn't even blink an eye during a banquet that cost two or three hundred yuan, which made the four powerful sons look at Qi Tongwei differently.

Is this still the ordinary person they see as being petty?

Great!

At the dinner table, thanks to Qi Tongwei's "social skills", these young people became more fond of Qi Tongwei, and even Li Ronghua, who lost money, became friends with Qi Tongwei.

One night of hangover...

...

"Sign in!"

"Sign in: Green character Gao Yuliang, Favorability 1."

"Sign in: White character Ma Xiaojun, Favorability 1."

Not bad, two more.

He is worthy of being my teacher Gao, and he and I, Qi Tongwei, have a natural bond.

I don’t know if they will have the chance to continue being brothers-in-law in the future.

The other roommates were still sleeping soundly, and Qi Tongwei climbed out of bed carefully.

Ma Xiaojun, who was sleeping on the lower bunk, had already sat up and was leaning against the head of the bed reading a book.
