Chapter 267: All the stars gather
"Xinyi! You have such a heavy workload, why do you always come to help? It's inappropriate for a girl to come to the construction site at such an old age..."
"It's okay uncle, the study pressure is not that great, I think it's good this way."
"You have worked hard during this period, responsible for the construction of so many houses."
"It's not hard, uncle. I'll get busy now. This place is not designed like this..."
In Nunawading, a suburb bordering Blackburn, Shen Xinyi wears a safety helmet and holds a blueprint in her hand to ensure the project is carried out accurately.
After chatting with her uncle for a while, she suddenly found that a worker was not following the drawings, so she immediately ran over to correct him and ensure the accuracy of the construction.
The middle-aged man who had just chatted with her couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head.
During this period, Shen Xinyi was busy in various places in Mo Village, helping her uncle with house construction and learned a lot from it.
The most important thing is that she focused on her work, and all the love affairs were thrown aside. She didn't dare to think about herself and Chen Xi at all.
"I just got out of school! And you called me to that damn party again."
"Haha, how about that big foreign horse last time? What was his name?"
"Oksana."
"You remember it very clearly! This time we are not going on a yacht, nor are there any foreign horses to ride. This time, all the people are Chinese. I will take you to see the stars."
"Celebrity? Who is it?"
"You'll know when we meet. There are so many more! You can probably only see these on TV."
City, inside the office.
Looking at the mysterious Alin, Chen Xi felt something strange.
Various celebrities often come to Mo Village, and he has seen them before. Many of them graduated from RMIT. Celebrities like Mr. Right and Gillian Chung all graduated from that school.
Celebrities such as Jie Lun, JJ, and Jackie Chan also like to come to Mo Village to play.
Especially Jielun, Chen Xi had seen her several times on the street. He liked to watch those wandering singers singing on the roadside in the city center.
Jackie Chan was naturally Chen Xi’s idol when he was a child. He liked to come to Mo Village to taste the food and also come here to shoot and take photos.
For example, a certain person often comes to visit his alma mater. I have seen him at RMIT before.
This time Alin said there were celebrities, and more than one, and he couldn't guess what was going on.
"Fuck, why did you bring me here? To get a room? I'm not interested in men." Crown Hotel, this is upstairs from the Casino. Chen Xi used to sleep here often, so he was naturally very familiar with it.
"What the hell are you dreaming about! I'm not interested in your X-flowers. There are many celebrities coming this time, so of course we'll choose a more private place."
"What is this? A party?"
"You will know when you go."
Chen Xi immediately associated it with a certain scene, but quickly shook his head. He suddenly remembered that he seemed to have attended a party before, where there were many celebrities. Could it be...
He was brought here by a friend, and he had to be invited to go.
"Hello, please follow me." A good-looking Chinese woman in a professional suit came over and made a gesture of invitation to the two.
"Do you know this woman?"
"do not know."
"Then she'll come up and say hello to you."
"Nonsense, they must have seen the appearance of everyone who came today. If they can't remember it, then they are not qualified to work here."
"Too."
Casinos are equipped with cameras, and they have been connected to the database a long time ago. As soon as you come in, you will be captured by the cameras, and all your information can be seen clearly.
I followed the receptionist into the elevator and soon arrived at the 14th floor.
The familiar floor made Chen Xi search for the memories of his past life.
Two security guards were guarding the door. When they saw the visitor, they immediately greeted him politely and made way for him.
The door slowly opened, revealing a huge room. There was a door on each side of the room, which obviously led to other places.
At this time, quite a few people had gathered in the room. At several gambling tables, players were playing cards with great interest, immersed in the fun of the game.
Chen Xi looked around, and the familiar faces that he had only seen on TV appeared in front of him.
"How come you're not surprised at all? Look, that's Shui Shui, a very popular female star! Look at that, that's a big star in Hong Kong. If I could be with her..."
"Well, surprised! I'm so surprised that I can't speak." Chen Xi made a surprised gesture. He had been here before in his previous life, so naturally he wouldn't show any big reaction. Now he could only pretend that it was his first time.
As for Shui Shui, he didn't care about HK stars at all. He never thought those stars were that good-looking, and he couldn't understand why so many people praised them online.
"There are many famous Chinese people in Mo Village today. You can get to know them well."
"Yeah. Just go and get to know them."
Chen Xi spread his hands nonchalantly.
"I have something serious to do, so naturally I have to go meet those female celebrities. Let's divide the work. I'll greet the women, and you greet the men."
"Fuck you, I'm not gay."
As soon as A Lin finished speaking, Chen Xi punched him. This guy was actually thinking about those things.
Chen Xi had some impression of some of the people in the room, some he had seen on the news, and some he knew in his previous life. However, it had been so long that he could only remember the names of a few people.
These stars who looked serious on TV turned into gamblers at this moment, killing everyone at the gambling table. They shouted louder than each other. When they entered the room, their phones had been temporarily kept by someone. Otherwise, they would have taken some photos and posted them online, which would have definitely shocked the fans. Their idols were so different from their usual appearance, and they didn't know what they would think.
The games here are different from those downstairs. Jia Jia Le and Black Jack are the most popular games here, followed by Pai Gow.
There were people playing Texas Hold'em at a middle table, but the number of people was relatively small.
A large table in the middle was empty, and Chen Xi knew it was used for playing poker.
Shuishui, whom Ah Lin mentioned earlier, was sitting at a family-friendly table. Completely different from the goddess image on TV, she was now holding a lady's cigarette and squinting at the cards in her hand. If there weren't so many celebrities around, she might even have put her feet on the chair.
Chen Xi just wanted to laugh when he saw it from the side. In his previous life, he didn't care much and was just playing cards alone. Now it seems a little funny. After all, he will be a big star in the future and will enter Hollywood to make many movies. Now he looks like a gambler.
Next to Shui Shui is a Hong Kong star who has also starred in many blockbusters and is considered to be relatively older among this group of people. It is estimated that many people grew up watching his movies.
After walking around the room, he saw that Alin was already chatting and laughing with the two female stars, but he was just standing there doing nothing.
Grab a drink and sit down at a table.
"Sir, do you need chips?" The dealer looked at him with a smile and a very respectful attitude.
Chips were given when he entered the room, but Chen Xi put them in his pocket. The dealer probably thought he had lost everything. He didn't need to pay to exchange chips here, he just recorded it in the account, but there was a limit.
"No, thank you." Chen Xi waved his hand and took out the chips from his pocket and placed them on the table.
He didn't plan to play, he just wanted to find a place to sit and watch the show.
There were only two people playing at this table, making it seem a little less popular, a young man in a suit and a middle-aged woman.
The young man should be a businessman and doesn't look like an actor, but the woman is very famous. She is a TVB actress and has starred in a very classic TV series "The Deer and the Cauldron".
The character she played is the ideal wife in many people's minds.
I heard that immigrants came to Australia, but I didn’t expect it to be true.
It is said that this woman married a wealthy man, but later divorced him and got a share of the property.
Within a few years, he gambled away all the money he got from the divorce, and his life thereafter was miserable.
She is now in her thirties and looks well maintained. She has retired from the entertainment industry and will make a comeback next year. She probably came here today to meet those celebrities.
When I saw her playing characters in TV dramas before, I thought they were gentle, considerate and understanding, but I didn’t expect that she played wilder than anyone else here.
"Oh, how come I lost again. It's so annoying. Every time you're a little older than me." The woman slammed the table angrily. She didn't have the charm she has on the screen at all. She looked more like an auntie in the vegetable market.
"Xiao Xia, my table isn't very good either. I'll try my luck at yours." A female voice sounded. Chen Xi looked up and saw that it was the star Shui Shui.
"Sister Shuishui, you came at the right time. Let's beat her together." Xiao Xia pointed at the female dealer in front of her, who could only smile awkwardly.
Shui Shui is two or three years older than Xiao Xia. Both were born in Mainland China, but the other one went to Hong Kong to develop her career earlier.
"Ladies, you can follow me and bet. There's no need to bet against me. All the money has been earned by Casino. We should move forward and retreat together." The man in a suit who had been silent before spoke up.
"Yes, yes, we should advance and retreat together." Xiao Xia nodded in agreement.
"Handsome boy, let's play together." Seeing that everyone at the table had pushed their chips up, only Chen Xi didn't respond, Shui Shui quickly pulled him to join.
"No, I'll just take a look." Chen Xi declined politely.
"Hehe~ handsome boy, you must be a master. It is said that those who play family gambling and take a long time to make a move are all masters of gambling." Shui Shui covered her face and giggled.
"I'm not an expert, just a novice, haha." Chen Xi pretended that he had never played it before.
"I see that you are not an actor. You should be from Australia. You look young and handsome. Do you want me to introduce you to a girlfriend?" Shui Shui said in a very familiar manner.
Chen Xi was shocked. The Shui Shui he saw in the movies was said to be a cold goddess who rarely even smiled. He didn't expect that she would be such a person in real life.
"I have a girlfriend, thank you sister."
"Hehe~ Your call of 'sister' sounds so beautiful that my bones are almost softened." Shui Shui teased Chen Xi happily. He looked the youngest among the people present.
It is said that older people like to tease younger girls, and even female celebrities are no exception.
"Okay, Sister Shuishui, the cards are about to be revealed. Come and see them." Xiao Xia pulled her arm anxiously.
"What's the hurry? Let me see the first card first."
After saying that, Shui Shui picked up a poker and started looking at it. The man and woman next to her stretched their heads to look over. Only Chen Xi was indifferent. He didn't participate either. Winning or losing didn't matter to him at all.
"Doll." Shui Shui frowned and threw the poker in her hand. It was a King.
"Let's take a look at the dealer's cards first." Xiao Xia gestured to the dealer.
When the dealer revealed the cards in his hand, the three people were stunned. It was eight.
"Why are you in such a hurry? With the handsome boy by your side, you will definitely win." Shui Shui gave him a mischievous smile.
"Hehe." Chen Xi could only smile awkwardly.
"Ha, I told you! You'll definitely win." A few seconds later, Shui Shui laughed and slammed the playing cards on the table. It was a nine.
"Oh yeah!"
"Snapped!"
Xiao Xia next to him excitedly high-fived the man in the suit.
Shui Shui gathered all the chips in front of her.
