Chapter 1235: Do you accept disciples?
Inside the presidential suite.
It became quiet.
Over a billion RMB. This is an astounding amount.
Dong Xuebing could roughly guess Zhang Longjuan’s company value. It should be worth around seven to eight billion RMB. A single woman created a successful business overseas from her winnings at a Macau casino. She even separated herself from her family to build her career. He could not imagine what hardships she had undergone. She is a legend, and she is facing her biggest hurdle now.
Over a billion RMB.
How can I get this amount?
Dong Xuebing could not help. He could not get it so fast, even if he could raise this amount.
If Zhang Longjuan could not get funds, her company would be gone.
Zhang Longjuan’s successful business would be gone, and she will be in debt.
Dong Xuebing does not want this to happen. “Do you have ways to raise so much money?”
Zhang Longjuan smiled. “I don’t have a foolproof plan, but I can try my luck. If I succeed, I can temporarily settle my company’s financial issues.”
Dong Xuebing asked. “What are you going to do?”
“This is why I came.” Zhang Longjuan replied.
Dong Xuebing paused for a second. “Are you going to gamble?”
Zhang Longjuan nodded. “That gambling ship is big. I heard from my friends that winning or losing a few million USD there is normal. Those are big players. The gambling ship will not allow guests without high net worth to board. I considered for a few days when State Security approached me, and I decided to try my luck. I mortgaged my houses and cars to raise some money. If I win tens of millions or a hundred million USD, I can solve some of my financial issues.”
Dong Xuebing was speechless. “But...”
Shen Xiaomei heard and said. “This is illegal.”
Although Zhang Longjuan started her business from her winnings at a casino, it was a legal casino. She paid the taxes, and those are not illegal funds. But this gambling ship is operating without a license. Gambling might be allowed on international waters, but the winnings are considered illegal funds.
Zhang Longjuan replied. “I know. I have spoken to your leaders. If we can complete our mission smoothly, they will disregard my winnings. They can even help me turn it into legal funds.”
Shen Xiaoyan was shocked. She did not expect her higher-ups to agree to such a condition.
Shen Xiaomei thought about it and did not say anything. Zhang Longjuan had donated tens of million USD to the State Security to fund their missions. State Security will repay her in times of need. However, Ms. Zhang must win first.
Dong Xuebing asked. “Are you good at gambling?”
Zhang Longjuan replied. “Not bad. I seldom lose.”
Dong Xuebing continued. “What if you lose?”
Zhang Longjuan laughed. “I will be bankrupted if I lose. Haha... State Security will not cover my losses as they don’t have the funds to do so.”
Dong Xuebing smacked his lips. “It is too risky.” This chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.
Zhang Longjuan replied. “I know. But I must take the risk. I cannot allow my company to collapse. I got no time. The call earlier was from my staff. We owed too much money, and they could not stall the debtors anymore.”
“Thank you. What can happen to me?”
“Haha... that’s right. There’s nothing you cannot solve.”
“Huh? I was too reckless. You think too highly of me.”
Midnight.
Shen Xiaoyan returned.
It was late, and Dong Xuebing and Zhang Longjuan returned to their rooms.
Shen Xiaomei told her sister about their conversation earlier. Of course, she also told her about Dong Xuebing winning one hundred stakes of the lottery top prize.
“One hundred stakes?” Shen Xiaoyan was shocked. She saw the news with her younger sister and remembered it clearly. “He was the one who won it.”
“Yes. He admitted.” Shen Xiaomei said. “Do you think he is lying?”
Shen Xiaoyan replied. “Do you think he will lie about it?”
“You are right. But why is he so lucky? He has good combat skills and marksmanship.”
“That’s why I say Mr. Dong is different. Didn’t you see our Chief’s attitude towards him? He is only a former State Security administrative staff. How can a State Security department head know him?” All subordinates know their leaders, but the leaders will not know all their men.
“Ah, Sis...”
“What is it?”
“Do you think... do you think he....”
Dong Xuebing walked out of his room suddenly when they were chatting. He looked at the twins and said. “I can’t sleep, and I am going to the bathroom. Carry on chatting.”
Dong Xuebing was about to walk to the bathroom when Shen Xiaomei called him. “Mr. Dong.”
“Ah?” Dong Xuebing looked at her. “What is it?”
Shen Xiaomei asked awkwardly. “Err... Do... Do you accept disciples?”
Dong Xuebing was puzzled. “Disciples? What disciples?”
Shen Xiaomei cleared her throat. “I... I want to learn how to dodge bullets from you.”
Dong Xuebing wiped his sweat. “I... I don’t know how to dodge bullets. Those hooligans have poor aiming today.”
Shen Xiaoyan looked at Dong Xuebing. “We can tell how amazing you are today.”
Shen Xiaomei added. “You had dodged at least seven bullets today. You cannot fool us.”
“It’s luck.” Dong Xuebing was scared of others talking about this. “Err... I don’t accept disciples, and you are better than me. I got nothing to teach you. I... I am going to the bathroom.”
“Please teach us, Mr. Dong.” Shen Xiaomei insisted. “You can also tell us your trick. Also, why is your body so tough? Have you learned external Qi Gong?”
Shen Xiaoyan smiled. “I also want to learn.”
“No... I was lucky too.” Dong Xuebing replied. “I cannot hold it any longer. I need to use the bathroom.”
The sisters were speechless.
