As I stepped out of the private room, I had no intention of visiting the restroom. Instead, I sauntered into the main gaming area, taking in the surroundings. A few players continued their games, and upon spotting a vacant table with a dealer tidying up the cards, I approached and engaged him in casual conversation. Having spent considerable time at the establishment, the dealers and staff had come to regard me as a senior executive.
After a brief wait, I returned to the private room with a cup of coffee in hand. As I entered, the thin man shot me a disapproving glance and remarked, “Hey, could you please stop dawdling? What, did you go to the restroom just to sip coffee?”
I chose not to respond, suppressing a smirk at his impatience. Patience, my friend, the real spectacle is yet to unfold.
Turning to Su Mei, I observed, “It seems we’ve had a bit of a monetary imbalance. Ever since you started dealing, I've faced losses. Perhaps it’s time for a change in the dealer?”
