Chapter 363 The Biggest Career Crisis of the Year!
"Right, right! If you're a grown person just standing there, how could you possibly take a spill like that?"
"Maybe he wanted to step on something but missed it, and that's how he fell!"
"Damn it! People say casinos are shady, but I didn't realize they were this shady! No wonder I've been losing all this time!"
The casual gamblers around had already guessed roughly what happened, and the croupier was now sweating bullets.
You know what's the biggest taboo in this business?
That's right, reputation!
If a casino's reputation is bad, then who would come to play in the future?
This incident could be described as the biggest professional crisis of the year and the largest stumbling block for the casino!
"Everyone, calm down!"
The croupier raised his voice and shouted, "The fall was entirely due to my own physical discomfort, and it has nothing to do with the casino. Don't believe what you see in the movies, our place is the fairest and most impartial!"
"Bullshit! Do you think we're children? Get out here, I want to see what you're hiding inside!"
A bald man in a tank top said boldly.
As he spoke, he reached out with his thick arm to grab the croupier's collar.
"Don't... don't be violent..."
The croupier cried out in terror.
If a group saw that cheating button, I'd probably be stuffed into a barrel and thrown into the sea by the big boss today!!!
No way!!!
I still have so much good life ahead of me, how could I let it end here!
"Help! There's a disturbance here!!! Someone is trying to steal the chips!!!"
The croupier was grabbed by the bald man and shouted loudly.
Suddenly, all the gamblers in the hall turned their gaze this way.
A disturbance?
Stealing chips?
Damn!!!
Who doesn't know that the higher-ups here are neither black nor white, daring to make trouble here, they wouldn't have enough lives to make up for it!!!
Sure enough, within a minute after the croupier shouted, over ten men in security uniforms surrounded them.
"Yo, who do we have here, if it isn't 19k's Mister He? How come you have the time today to trouble a little croupier?"
A middle-aged man in a suit stepped out from the security crowd. The man was sporting a slicked-back hairdo, looking like a business elite.
"Hmph, I originally thought with your size, you'd be better than those other casinos that constantly pull tricks, but today I see you're exactly the same. This croupier tried to pull a fast one right under so many people's noses, you better give me an explanation for this today or I'm not leaving!"
It seemed this bald man had some backing as well, otherwise he wouldn't be able to utter threats at such a critical moment!
"You must have misunderstood us then, croupier come here, tell me what really happened!"
The middle-aged man appeased the bald man with a smile but then turned and glared at the croupier, waiting for an explanation.
After all, there were easily a thousand people in the hall!
If word were to spread, the consequences would be unthinkable!!!
So he decided in an instant to nip this emerging spark of a problem in the bud!!!
"Man... manager... I wasn't feeling well today, so I accidentally fell while rolling the dice for everyone, and they thought I was cheating..."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
The croupier said grievously, "We have always put fairness first, so how could I possibly challenge the casino's bottom line..."
"Oh?"
The middle-aged man's eyes darted around as he said with an air of authority, "If that's the result, then you should take leave to go to the hospital, not insist on working! Here's what we'll do: you leave now, and I'll explain everything to everyone."
"No way! Is whatever the dealer says the absolute truth?"
"Exactly! We need to check the dealer's station to see if there are any cheating devices!"
"I heard in documentaries that some casinos install a button under the table which, with a light tap, changes the dice in the shaker to whatever the dealer wants! Who knows if you're doing the same thing!"
"Heh, Manager Wang, the will of the people is formidable! If you don't let everyone see for themselves, I'm afraid this issue won't be easily resolved today!"
Master He lit a cigarette and said with a sneer as he sat in his chair.
Manager Wang certainly knew what was hidden at the dealer's station, and if that was discovered...
No!!!
"Master He, there must be some misunderstanding about this. How about we have a private chat later? I promise to make you satisfied."
Manager Wang whispered in Master He's ear, "And next month, aren't you selecting a chief? I can help persuade the boss to support you."
The color of Master He's face changed instantly upon hearing these words, his previously fierce demeanor gradually easing.
"Heh, then let's do as you say."
Compared to the tens of thousands of chips he threw in today, becoming the chief was more important! If he could secure the support of the casino's behind-the-scenes boss, what advantage would his competitors have?
When compared, one must choose the more important!
Master He was very clear about this principle!
"Everyone disperse! This was all a misunderstanding, an internal affair of our casino. We can responsibly assure everyone that there's nothing fishy going on!"
Manager Wang called out to the customers offhandedly.
"But..."
Just as a customer began to speak up, Manager Wang's serpent-like gaze fixed on them, and the person immediately shut their mouth!
They could make a fuss earlier because Master He was leading the charge, but now it seemed the bald man had decided to settle with the casino privately. If they didn't have the presence of mind to back down, they'd surely earn a beating!
Better to leave it be; getting hospitalized over a small amount of money wasn't worth it...
That was the thought on many customers' minds. After all, they were just casual guests, spending at most a few hundred in a night, so how could they possibly stand up to the casino behemoth for the sake of their families...
Just when Manager Wang thought the matter was settled, a voice came from an inconspicuous spot near the gambling table.
"I disagree!"
"Hmm?"
Manager Wang's expression darkened as he looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a young man surrounded by beautiful women and a few bodyguards who looked tough to deal with.
"???" Stay connected through empire
Manager Wang was full of question marks. Whose young master was this?
He looked completely unfamiliar!
"Who are you?"
Manager Wang asked cautiously.
"Manager Wang, let's talk over here."
Wu Qian gestured to Manager Wang and the two of them squeezed through the crowd to find a quiet spot.
After offering Wu Qian a cigarette, Manager Wang asked curiously, "Old Wu, who is that young man? He seems like a tough nut to crack."
"He's from the mainland; not sure exactly which family's young master he is, but the young man carries one of the globally limited Centurion Black Cards. You'd better tread carefully when talking with him!"
Upon hearing this, Manager Wang's brow immediately furrowed.
Anyone in this line of work naturally knew what the Black Card represented, and also knew that the power behind it was not to be trifled with under any circumstances.
So, to reconcile with the other party required a certain skill in negotiation!
