In Shanghai during the Republic of China, tobacco and drugs were rampant and prevalent, and gambling became common.
The ten-mile foreign market became a treasury for the rich and wealthy.
There were row upon row of brothels and casinos.
Many foreign gamblers set foot in Shanghai, hoping to make a fortune from the national crisis.
It is not an easy task to manage a large luxury casino.
In order to get started faster, Hua Ting worked as a supervisor in Bai Qihong's casino called "Las Villa" for a whole month.
I found that the casino is really a wonderful place.
Some people come in radiantly, but then go out with a decayed look, and then they disappear after a while.
For the aristocrats of Shanghai, the casino is an adventurous and mysterious place.
Almost all the wealthy people in Shanghai want to come to the casino to experience it.
They will either live in a dream or be completely defeated.
Bai Qihong's casino receives an average of 5,000 gamblers every week, ranging from those who gamble for fun to those who spend a lot of money.
During this month in prison, Hua Ting's horizons were opened up.
Some came to gamble on private planes, and some were wealthy and wealthy who lost millions of dollars without even blinking.
Some were just taking chances.
There were losers who wanted to make some living expenses, but ended up losing all their money; there were also street gamblers who met cheating, which was when she came out of town.
After some strict rectification by Hua Ting, Las Villa's casino regulations gradually became stricter.
For example, every time a gambler touches a chip, he must turn the back of his hand over to show it to the dealer or the man in black, indicating that he has not hidden the chip; if something falls on the ground and is picked up again, which is usually the usual trick of cheaters, he must Give it to the dealer or the man in black first Check, if you dropped chips, you need to call the supervisor here; even if someone just puts a candy in your palm, you still have to open your palm and show it to the dealer or the man in black.
It’s a pity that there are no cameras in this era.
No need to go to such trouble.
If you are caught cheating or cheating, you will not only be dealt with according to Bai Qihong's rules, but also be included in the blacklist of the casino; the entire Las Villas is controlled by a handful of Shanghai tycoons, and once you enter, If you are on the blacklist, you will not be able to enter the various large-scale casinos in Shanghai, as well as some small private gambling shops on the streets.
This is undoubtedly the cruelest punishment for those who are addicted to gambling.
Hua Ting was sitting in Bai Qihong's dedicated office on the second floor, looking through the Las Villas Casino's account books for the past six months in her hand.
Casino manager Ayao was standing behind the back of this mahogany and rattan chair, smiling slightly.
Lean over and give appropriate guidance.
Hua Ting, who always had a headache when seeing numbers, was dizzy by the huge numbers densely packed on each page of the account book.
When she raised her eyes for a moment, her eyes turned to two pots of green asparagus in a cool corner on one side of the office.
Ye suddenly thought of the inspector and her great-grandfather.
I don’t know what’s going on with Inspector Inspector recently.
Have you achieved positive cultivation with Sister Yiran?
Are you still being chased by Bai Qihong?
Hua Ting's mind changed, and she thought cunningly, if she acted as a well-behaved and sensible daughter by Bai Qihong's side for a long time, a daughter who never dared to disobey him in making any decision, a daughter who stood on the same side as him, a daughter who Resolutely express our support to the Japanese imperialists Will he choose the right moment to completely transfer the opium business to her?
After all, Bai Qihong is the only daughter like her.
This huge industry behind him is not a handover.
Who else could she have?
It couldn't be Ding Sicheng, right?
The premise for Hua Ting to get this right is to follow his wishes.
Her shoulders sank for a moment, and Hua Ting suddenly came back to her senses.
Jian Yi walked to her side at some point, leaned down slightly and scanned the pages of the account book in her hand a few times and said: "Studying is so careless. , I’m obsessed with what I’m thinking about.”
"I want a handsome guy."
“May I ask which handsome guy it is?”
"It's not you anyway."
Manager Ayao saw that the two were quite flirting, so he wisely walked away.
Although Jian Yi refused to admit the assassination of a Japanese official in the cafe that day, it gave Hua Ting a new understanding of him.
It seems that this important government official who wanders in the gray area is not as low as she thought.

The two shootings of Japanese officials made Hua Ting vaguely aware of the unusual identity of Jian Yi.
However, this does not mean that she is willing to marry him.
More often, she thought of those scorching eyes under the cold moonlight.
"Sister Hua, how about we talk about our marriage?"
Hua Ting recovered her empty thoughts and met his gaze.
"Two words, don't marry."
In recent months, Hua Ting has managed the Las Villas Casino vigorously.
When Bai Qihong was satisfied, he even began to arrange the marriage between her and Jian Yi.
On this day, the two families made an appointment at a racecourse owned by Bai Qihong.
Mrs.
Jian deliberately brought Chen Jingzhi here today.
Hua Ting didn't care, nor was she jealous, but instinctively wanted to ask: "Miss Chen Jingzhi, didn't you say before that you would return to England in two months?"
But Miss Chen Jingzhi suddenly imagined that the other party was jealous, and immediately replied with a serious face: "I asked for leave, how about it?"
"Oh."
Nothing.
Knowing clearly how Chen Jingzhi felt about her, Jian Yi still interjected in a very ignorant manner: "That would be better, Jingzhi, by the way, stay and drink our wedding wine."
Chen Jingzhi's face became darker.
Hua Ting rode a black Arabian horse with shiny coat and strong hooves.
It clattered in the middle of the grassland, with a slight splash of mud stars on the ground.
It rained all night yesterday, but today the sun is very good.
The sun is dancing on the tips of her hair, and even the front of her Western-style riding outfit has a bit of high-spirited joy.
As soon as she tightened the reins and clamped the horse's belly with her legs, the horse obediently raised its front hooves and made a beautiful "raising" movement.
Hua Ting patted the horse's neck and walked casually in circles in the pasture.
"Sister Hua," Jian Yi watched her run twice from the sidelines, then put on her gloves, climbed onto a white horse, flicked her whip and chased after her, "Are you ready to marry me?"
Hua Ting frowned, stopped and turned to raise her eyebrows at him, seeming a little annoyed, "Don't you understand people?"
Jian Yi gently pinched the horse's belly, and the horse trotted up.
Looking at Hua Ting's lively expression, his heart felt a little light, and he unconsciously curled up his lips, "I just heard Mr.
Bai seemed to say that he will Our wedding is scheduled for New Year’s Eve.”
When Hua heard that he was smiling, she became even more annoyed.
She whipped up her riding whip and was about to run out, "You know me, if I don't want to marry, there's no point in tying me up."
Jian Yi gently and deftly pulled the riding whip and rode next to her, "How about we discuss something?"
"We have something to discuss."
Hua Ting gently pulled back her riding whip and walked slowly around the grassland for a few steps.
"What do we have to discuss?"
"Aren't you thinking about Mr.
Bai's idea of opium?"
Hua Ting turned to look at him, and he was looking at her with a pursed lips and a smile, with a rare tenderness and weakness in his black and white eyes, "If you marry me, I can fulfill your wish."
Hua Ting looked back warily at Bai Qihong and Jian Maosheng, who were 50 meters away.
They were walking slowly and leisurely on the edge of the grassland.
Mrs.
Jian, with a look of reluctance, pulled Chen Jingzhi to follow them 10 meters away.
If Chen Jingzhi hadn't been able to ride a horse, how could Chen Jingzhi have let Jian Yi and Hua Ting show off their affection in front of her eyes?
"What do you mean, Jian Yi?"
Hua Ting gradually slowed down her horse and approached him.
"What's Sister Hua's idea?

Can it escape my eyes?"
A smile flashed across Jian Yi's face.
The autumn wind brought slightly humid air, mixed with the faint smell of earth and grass.
It seemed to be quiet for a moment, and the only sound was the clatter of horse hooves.
"First, you have to tell me who you are."
Looking at Hua Ting's expression, he felt that the sun was very dazzling, and her every eyebrow seemed to be shining.
"Isn't it already clear who I am?"
"Did you kill those two Japanese officials?"
"I have killed so many people that I can't even remember them at the moment."
Jian Yi laughed softly.
Hua Ting shook the reins hard, suppressed her smile and said, "Don't give me a pass.
The answer is yes, or no." " "yes."
The sunlight melted into his pupils, making them incredibly warm.
