100,000 Yuan!!!

"Miss Lim?"

"Miss Lim, where is your friend?" Asked the shop owner's wife, holding Zhang Wei's order.

Ms. Lim returned to reality after being stunned by the 100,000 Yuan in front of her. In the end, she just smiled.

"It's okay Madam Li, my friend suddenly had an urgent matter, so just wrap up his order and I will pay for it. Thank you." Madam Li was a bit disappointed, she cooked the order with extra ingredients for her regular customer's friend or she thought so. However, the youth was gone.

Miss Lim put the large envelope full of cash into her office bag, and after paying and saying goodbye to Madam Li, she walked to her apartment. Her apartment was only about 10 minutes away from the restaurant.

Inside Miss Lim Apartment.

Stacks and stacks of 100 yuan denominations were on the table. She had just finished counting it, and it was exactly 100,000 yuan, 10 times her current monthly salary of 10,000 yuan (US$1500).

"Who is exactly this guy? Nobody sane enough will leave a lot of money to a stranger. If I meet him tomorrow, will I get my answer?"

She had too many unanswered questions, but none of them will be answered without meeting the mysterious guy. She even imagined the guy trying to hit on her by showing off his 100,000 yuan. However, that was the last logical circumstance that led to this weird night.

How could a rich guy fall for her average look?

So, she decided to trust her instinct. What could possibly go wrong during broad daylight? She will meet the weird young man tomorrow, and all of her questions will be answered.

10:00 pm, Hotel Casino Lobby.

"Good Evening Mr. Zhang, how may I help you, sir?" Asked the male front desk clerk. After winning the Mega Jackpot, all the front desk clerks knew about Zhang Wei, young, handsome, and loaded with money.

"I would like to meet with your casino floor manager."

"Okay sir, I'll contact the manager right away." The front desk clerk used the telephone to inform his supervisor.

"My supervisor said you need to wait for about 10 minutes, then he will come here to meet you, sir." Explained the front desk clerk.

"Thank you."

Zhang Wei went to the nearest empty sofa seat and took a magazine while waiting for the floor manager. Soon, around 8 minutes later, the same floor manager he met before was walking towards him.

"Good evening Mr. Zhang, how may I help you?"

"Mr. Wang, I have a favor to ask." This is the second time Zhang Wei met with this floor manager, written on his name tag clearly showing "Wang".

"What kind of favor do you need from me Mr. Zhang?"

"Just call me Zhang Wei, I am way younger than you Mr. Wang."

"Oh…Okay, so how may I help you Mr. Zhang?" The young man in front of him was very polite compared to a normal young and rich hotel guest. However, he still needs to call him properly.

Normally rich and famous, especially the young one is quite demanding and proud. They will not show any polite attitude towards the hotel staff. For this reason, Mr. Wang had a very good impression of the young man in front of him.

"I would like to take part in the VIP poker table. Can you help me with this matter?" This is one of Zhang Wei's early missions upon coming to this world. The VIP room where any shark player will make quick cash.

Zhang Wei's request surprised Mr. Wang. One must know that the minimum buy-in or entrance fee for this table is $100,000. All the players will bring at least $1,000,000 to play on this table. Based on his estimation, Zhang Wei had slightly over $100,000 from the jackpot-winning, barely enough to pay for the table buy-in.

"About this… Let me contact my colleague in charge of the VIP Room first." Mr. Wang hesitated for a while before contacting his colleague, the VIP Room Manager. After a while, Mr. Wang was smiling looking at Zhang Wei.

"Normally, we will not permit a player without a recommendation to enter this room. However, after some negotiation, since you were the jackpot winner, you were given a one-time entry to play in this VIP room. Please follow me Mr. Zhang."

"Thank you very much Mr. Wang." Zhang Wei knew that without getting one of the VIP member recommendations it is impossible to enter this room. He knew winning the Mega Jackpot gave him a special one-time free invitation to this room.

Following Mr. Wang entering the hotel's VIP lift, they reached the hotel's 8th floor. The lift needed a special VIP card scanned before anyone could go to the 8th floor. So, without the VIP Card, nobody can go to the 8th floor.

Upon entering the 8th floor, everything looks expensive, from the wall, the floor with an expensive carpet on it, tables were made using mahogany wood, and others. Even the air to breathe was clean like pure virgin air. Mr. Wang brought Zhang Wei to one of the VIP rooms. Entering the room, it differed greatly from the outside. There was a big round table in the middle of the room with 7 players around it, and there was a player smoking a cigar.

"Welcome, Mr. Zhang Wei." With a smile, the room manager shook Zhang Wei's hand.

"Thank you for having me Mr. Lim." Replied Zhang Wei.

"Please follow me, I will bring you to your seat." Said the room manager.

"Excuse me, everyone. This is the quest I mentioned to you before." The room manager was quite polite before he walked a few steps away and started a conversation with Mr. Wang, the casino floor manager.

"Hi everyone…My name is Zhang Wei." A short self-introduction from Zhang Wei while taking his seat. Everyone was looking at him including the table dealer.

"I heard that you won the casino mega jackpot, so you come here to finish it?" Asked one of the players. He was about 50 years old but still looked quite handsome with a cigar on his right hand.

Alice: Name Sun Wei, Age 56, Owner one of the Largest Pharmaceutical Company In China, Net Worth $10 billion.

"Hello there Mr. Sun, my fortune-teller told me that I am going to win big on this table tonight."

"Hahaha…You are quite an interesting one young man." Said seat number 3 player. He was laughing after hearing Zhang Wei's remark.

Alice: Name Alex Huang, Age 30, Owner one of largest E-Commerce Company, Net Worth $14 Billion.

"You only have $100,000 worth of chips, which is not even enough to play for a round in this table." Said one of the player seat number 6 with his smug face. He was looking down on Zhang Wei. One must know, every round played on this table is worth at least a few hundred thousand dollars.

Alice: Name Ma Huan, Age 46, Owner of China's 5th Largest Mobile Services and Online Gaming Network, Net Worth $38 billion.

Before Zhang Wei got his special entry to this VIP room, they had held a small voting event. Only VIP cardholders can vote. Among the 7 players here, 4 were invited, while the other 3, Mr. Sun Wei, Alex Huang, and Mr. Ma Huan were the VIP cardholders.

Today was a special day. It's rare to see 3 billionaires on the same table playing poker. The hotel invited all the billionaire members for a convention, but these three billionaires didn't participate, they were playing poker in the VIP room.

Sun Wei and Alex Huang out-voted Ma Huan. Ma Huan was the only one who didn't agree to give a special entry to Zhang Wei, however, he was outvoted by the other 2 members. As a result, he resented Zhang Wei. A poor youth who was allowed to come to this privileged floor made him dissatisfied.

One must know, this is the biggest Hotel Casino in China. The hotel was completed 6 years ago, with 1000 guest rooms available. Since its inception, this hotel has handed exactly 50 VIP cards to billionaires and fewer than 100 non VIPs invited to this 8th floor so far. This included the 4 non VIP players inside this room at the moment.

Alice: Mission - get one of these 3 targets gold plated business cards.

Listening to Alice's voice, Zhang Wei knew he needed to win over one of these billionaires.

Zhang Wei calmly looked at Ma Huan, showing no fearful face and he replied.

"It will be an awesome story winning $10m from you starting from a mere $100,000." Said Zhang Wei calmly.

"Hahaha… I like this kid!!!" Said Alex Huang.

"Same with me, he got a gut, hey kid don't you recognize this guy." Sun Wei was pointing his finger at Ma Huan. He was a little surprised that the youth in front of him didn't give a damn about Ma Huan's status.

"I know, he is the number 3 richest man in China." Replied Zhang Wei. He could clearly feel that the 3rd richest man in China didn't like him, so there is no point in showing any utmost respect to someone who does not like him.

Hearing Zhang Wei's answer, it surprised the other players. They thought the youth in front of them had some brain problems. Any of them here will give some face to Ma Huan, he is a very rich and powerful person. When you are too rich, power will come naturally, whether it is economic power or political power both will serve the rich.

The room manager, Mr. Lim, had a very awkward face at this moment. He really wishes he could close Zhang Wei's mouth from sprouting any more tension.

"Hahahahaha… This is the first time I've been talked to like this. Moreover, someone who is way younger than me, hahaha…" Instead of getting angry, Ma Huan was laughing very hard. He was amused.

"Okay kid, let's play heads up, I would like to see how you will take my $10m. Does anyone have any problem with this?" Ma Huan asked. He wanted to beat this kid fair and square. This is also to prove that his remark earlier about Zhang Wei's $100,000 chips is worthless in this high-stakes poker table.

"I have no problem with that." Replied Sun Wei while smoking his cigar.

"Me too, in fact, this is a very interesting heads up. I would like to see if Cinderella's story is true. One is super-rich versus a regular player." Said Alex Huang.

In fact, nobody opposed the head ups game, with Zhang Wei's $100,000 they thought that the head ups match will be over in less than 5 minutes.

"Fine by me." Zhang Wei smiled, his early strategy was successful. He successfully baited the richest man on the table to play heads up with him.

"Dealer, deal the first hand." Ma Huan can't wait to beat the young man in front of him. Even though from a business perspective he was among the top ones, when it comes to poker, he becomes the opposite of everything.

The dealer gave 2 cards to Ma Huan and another 2 cards for Zhang Wei, and then she put another 3 cards in the middle of the table face up so that players could see them. The 3 face-up cards in the middle of the table were 5 2 J.

Zhang Wei looked at his 2 cards, they were 2 and 9. Zhang Wei didn't know what Ma Huan had, but he guessed he was no better than him at the moment.

"You turn to bet sir." Reminded the dealer to Zhang Wei.

"I bet $20,000." Zhang Wei replied. He sent 1 poker chip with a face value of $20,000.

One must know that the minimum chip value on this table is $20,000. So, Zhang Wei had only 5 of those chips after converting his $100,000 jackpot winning.

"Why bet so small, I raise to $100,000. I am sure you have enough chips right?" For Ma Huang, these 5 chips were nothing in his eyes. At the moment, he had more than $20 million worth of chips.

Thinking no further, Zhang Wei shoved all his chips. Basically, if Zhang Wei won this round, he will double his chips, however, if he loses, he will have to leave this room after playing for only 1 round.

After shoving all his chips, Zhang Wei showed his cards, 2 9. While the board 5 2 J. So, at this moment Zhang Wei had 2 2 J 9 5. A pair of 2.

"Hahaha… Brave young kid, but I have A K! Say goodbye to your $100,000!" Ma Huan was happy, even though he had nothing at the moment, but with his AK, in terms of the probability of winning, he was still leading since there were so many cards could beat the pair of 2.

The dealer deals with the 4th card (Turn).

Turn: K

"Hahaha kid, you lost! You only lasted for 1 round." Ma Huan was laughing hard with the satisfied look on his face.

On the turn K gave Ma Huan a pair of Kings, basically, he won, since Zhang Wei will only win with Triple 2 or any 9 cards. There is less than a 5% winning probability on the 5th card (river).

Zhang Wei still looked calm and he didn't show any panic expression. While the other 6 players on this table were quite disappointed. They were expecting a few rounds of interesting plays, but it ended in less than 2 minutes. So much self-confidence and boosting by Zhang Wei earlier before the game ended in failure.

The Dealer tapped the table twice, indicating she would deal with the last card.

River: 2

Boom! The river was 2 of club, giving Zhang Wei a set or a triple 2 for 100% winning percentage.

On The Table: 5 2 J K 2

Zhang Wei with 2 9 = 2 2 2 J K = Triple 2

Ma Huan with A K = K K A J 5 = Pair of Kings

It amazed Ma Huan. He looked in disbelief seeing the last card. That was less than 5% chances and his opponent still lucked out enough to get it.

While the other 4 invited players were calmed. They are pro poker players, so this kind of result regularly happens to them. They don't really feel surprised by the result. Meanwhile, Sun Wei and Alex Huang were quite happy the game didn't ended as they expected before.

"Mr. Zhang Wei won with a set of deuces." Announced the dealer.

Zhang Wei didn't show any joyful expression. He was so calm. He needed to show these billionaires that things like this can't move him.

"Very well, you lucked out on the river, I don't believe you will luck out on every round!" Even though Ma Huan lost, it was only $100,000 which was peanut money for him.

However, after 20 minutes of playing, Zhang Wei had been winning by shoving his hands repeatedly. As a result, he had won more than $6,000,000. Starting from a mere 4 chips now became a small mountain of chips in front of him.

"One more double up and I will pass the 10m mark. Would you like to continue, senior?" Zhang Wei asked Ma Huan proudly.

"No Shit!!! Enough with your luck damn bastard!" Even though Ma Huan had lost some chips worth over $6million, he was not a newbie on this game, when someone is on the winning run, you better stop betting against this player. Therefore, Ma Huan planned to stop the heads-up match.

"How about for the last round? You can look at your cards, if you don't like them, you can fold them. I will never look at my cards." Zhang Wei offered a very attractive proposition, however, Ma Huan still hesitated.

"How about I add an extra incentive, if I go all in, you don't have to bet with your chips, and if I lose, tomorrow I will become your slave for a day." Zhang Wei's extra incentive made the table players greatly astonished. Nobody is in the right mind betting on becoming a slave! A slave!

Ma Huan looked at the youth in front of him. He was trying to see if the youth wanted to trick into playing with him.

"Really?"
