I Become The Richest Man With A monthly Salary of Twenty Thousand Yuan-Chapter 580 - 425 Finale_2

But seeing Lin Tian’s attitude, they guessed this person might be a celebrity or the son of some extremely wealthy tycoon. Therefore, many in the media began pointing their cameras at Xia Liang and filming him.

Still, most people’s attention remained on Wu Tong and Luo Ying. After all, one was Haojiang’s Little Gambling Saint and the other was Xiangjiang’s hottest young actress. The pair could easily attract a ton of media attention. After welcoming Xia Liang to the entrance of the entertainment city, Wu Tong couldn’t help but size him up for a long moment.

He has assets worth at least several tens of yuan, yet he’s riding a little yellow bike? What in the world is his story?

Wu Tong grew intensely curious about Xia Liang. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"Hello, my name is Wu Tong." Seeing Xia Liang approach, Wu Tong extended her hand, and Xia Liang shook it.

"I’m Xia Liang."

Then, looking at Wu Tong, Xia Liang added casually, "If you calm your mind, you’ll be able to sleep well. You can’t take sleeping pills every day; it’s bad for your health."

Hearing his words, a flash of shock crossed Wu Tong’s eyes. She wanted to ask how he knew, but with so many people around, she felt too embarrassed to speak and swallowed her words. Indeed, she had been suffering from insomnia lately and relying on sleeping pills to fall asleep every day. Even her own agent didn’t know about this. How did he find out?

Meanwhile, seeing that everyone had arrived, Lin Tian began to prattle on to the media. After what felt like half a day, the ribbon-cutting ceremony finally began.

Xia Liang stood in the center, with Luo Ying and Wu Tong on either side. After the media finished taking pictures, the three of them snipped the ribbon in unison. The area erupted in applause, and Tianyi Entertainment City was now officially open.

Lin Tian then turned back to the three of them and smiled. "Would the three of you be interested in playing a game together?"

Hearing Lin Tian’s words, Xia Liang didn’t answer and directly stepped inside the entertainment city. Before his arrival, Lin Yitian had told him that he hoped Xia Liang would stay after the ceremony to play a couple of games with him. After hearing about the events in Jinling and Qingyun City, Lin Tian was keen to forge a connection with Xia Liang. Xia Liang had only come to the ribbon-cutting thanks to his uncle; that alone wasn’t enough to truly get on his good side.

Xia Liang didn’t refuse. Since Lin Tian was being so insistent and welcoming, he figured it wouldn’t hurt to play along. So, after Lin Tian finished speaking, he turned and was the first to enter the entertainment city.

Luo Ying, who was standing beside him, also smiled and followed Xia Liang, seemingly pondering something.

Afterward, a relieved Lin Tian was just about to enter when he saw Wu Tong walk right in as well. A flicker of confusion crossed his eyes, but it quickly turned into sheer joy. Previously, Wu Tong had told him that she was only there for the ribbon-cutting and would leave immediately after. But for some reason, after watching Xia Liang’s retreating back, she couldn’t control her curiosity and stepped inside.

Lin Tian was naturally overjoyed. He knew Wu Tong’s presence had almost nothing to do with him, but he could use this opportunity for another round of publicity. On opening day, the popular Xiangjiang actress Wu Tong was a guest at Tianyi Entertainment City. This was no small publicity stunt. There were no prior reports of Wu Tong ever visiting an entertainment city.

"This way, please..."

Watching the three of them enter, Lin Tian hurriedly rushed to greet them.

Under the guidance of Lin Ertian, Xia Liang and his two companions made their way up the stairs to the second floor, followed by a number of reporters. These people weren’t there to gamble. Most of them had come for Xiangjiang’s famous young actress, Wu Tong.

"Please..."

Upon entering the largest VIP room on the second floor, Lin Yitian immediately closed the door, shutting the crowd of reporters outside. A croupier had been waiting in this VIP room for some time. As a sign of respect, the cards in this private room were dealt by hand, not by a machine.

This female croupier was one of the most beautiful in Yitian Entertainment City, a goddess who would turn heads on the street. But today, almost no one’s gaze lingered on her. After all, seated next to Xia Liang was Wu Tong, currently known as the top young actress in Xiangjiang. Compared to her, the croupier at the gambling table seemed rather dull and unremarkable.

"Please, have a seat." Lin Guan smiled and gestured to the chairs.

Xia Liang didn’t hesitate and sat down. Wu Tong and Luo Ying sat on either side of him. Lin Tian was the last to be seated. The staff quickly brought the finest tea to their table.

Downstairs, the gamblers who had entered the entertainment city were taking their own seats. Within minutes, the whole place began to buzz with activity.

"What would the three of you like to play today?" Lin Tian asked as soon as they were settled.

Both Wu Tong and Luo Ying turned their gazes to Xia Liang.

Xia Liang tapped the table and said with a faint smile, "Anything’s fine."

"Then let’s play a simple game of Showhand."

Lin Tian nodded, and the other two had no objections. He had chosen this game after careful consideration. After all, outside of Haojiang and Xiangjiang, Showhand was one of the most famous games in the Dragon Country. It was featured in many Xiangjiang movies, and he was worried Xia Liang might not know the rules of other games. Lin Tian then clapped his hands, and chips worth one million Yuan were placed in front of each person.

"Losses are on me, and winnings are yours to cash out," Lin Tian announced. "Deal the cards."

The game began, and the croupier dealt the cards. At once, Lin Tian and the other two began to discreetly observe Xia Liang, their eyes filled with curiosity.

Seeing this, Xia Liang shook his head with a feeling of helplessness. He knew exactly what they were thinking. Even Lin Tian, the one who had invited him, wanted to witness his abilities firsthand. Although they said nothing, their eyes gave them away.

And so, obliging them, Xia Liang casually made a quick calculation to see what cards they would all receive. After all, none of them were here to genuinely play. In that case, he saw no reason to be polite. They were sitting here to inaugurate the entertainment city, but more importantly, to test him.

Under their watchful eyes, Xia Liang unexpectedly folded in the first round.

In the subsequent rounds, Xia Liang also chose to fold most of the time, not seeing the hands through to the end. In the few rounds he did play, however, he won every single time without fail. Overall, he broke even, neither winning nor losing money.

"I fold."

As a new round began, Xia Liang once again discarded his hand at the start, smiling faintly as he watched the other three continue the game.

Luo Ying, however, grew restless. He smiled and said, "Master Xia, you seem to know exactly what cards we’re holding. You handle every hand so decisively."

Luo Ying had been curious about Xia Liang from the start. He wanted to know why this man’s appearance fee was ten times higher than his own. While they were waiting, Lin Tian had told them about Xia Liang’s identity, but Luo Ying didn’t believe in so-called "masters." He just thought Lin Tian had been scammed and wanted to expose Xia Liang during the card game. But from the start, Xia Liang had rarely played a hand to completion, leaving Luo Ying unsure how to challenge him.

Hearing Luo Ying’s words, however, Lin Tian had an epiphany. He suddenly recalled that Xia Liang had won every single hand he’d actually played. Lin Tian couldn’t believe anyone’s luck could be that good. Having been in Haojiang for so long, he also knew Xia Liang wasn’t cheating through any physical means. The only explanation was that he could somehow calculate the outcome.

"I think Master Xia really does know what cards we’re holding," Lin Tian mused aloud, his awe growing. "Master Xia, you truly are just as the rumors say—capable of calculating anything!"

Luo Ying just clicked his tongue in response, neither refuting the claim nor agreeing with it.
