Chapter 271: An Appointment at Wanshou Palace

A few days later, Sihai Glen Waverley branch.

"Be careful when moving it. You're so clumsy."

Dongdong directed the employees to place the newly purchased equipment in the warehouse.

"Boss, do you need to hire more people?"

"Xia Lian, I told you not to call me boss, just call me by my name. If Chen Xi hears this, he'll think I'm bullying you!"

"How can that be possible? You should behave like an employee in the company. In private, I can just call you by your name."

"This is Australia, don't apply the same rules you use in China here."

"..."

While the two were still arguing, Chen Xi silently appeared behind Xia Lian.

"Let her do whatever she wants. Xiaolian can shout whatever she wants." Chen Xi rubbed Xia Lian's head.

"Fuck, you're feeding me dog food as soon as you get here. Don't you know I don't have a girlfriend yet?"

Dongdong looked disgusted when he saw his action.

Xia Lian's face turned slightly red.

"Are you short of manpower now? I see there are quite a lot of people in the company."

"No, it's almost the end of the year and some people have to go back to their home countries. We recruited some students but they can't stand the hardship and they run away after working for a while."

"Well, then we should hire some capable people and pay them more. Recently, many students have turned their attention to purchasing agents, thinking that the money is easy and profitable."

"understood."

Dongdong nodded, he thought so too.

Recently, there is an intention to train some international students, but people who work in Australia have a problem. After returning to China, they often change jobs. Therefore, Australian bosses do not like to recruit foreigners, especially international students.

"Did you see the news today?"

"What news?"

"Crown has had a big incident. Someone has stolen tens of millions of Australian dollars."

"Which guy won so much? Is the God of Gamblers here?"

"Oh, how can you say you won? You are just cheating people by making fake chips!"

Two employees were chatting not far away, and Chen Xi silently turned on his cell phone.

Sure enough, an explosive piece of news appeared on the browser.

The corners of his mouth slightly raised. It seems that this time the bet was right. Ma Yueling should not make things difficult for him. Maybe he can even get some benefits.

Counterfeit chips can be found in casinos all over the world, and it is impossible to prevent them. In his previous life, Chen Xi could see this kind of news on the Internet from time to time, and it happened almost every year.

Regarding the Crown incident, it was caused by Vietnamese people using counterfeit chips to exchange for cash, and this behavior continued for a long time, causing huge losses.

It took a long time to catch the perpetrators, but the losses were already irreversible. For this reason, Crown specially replaced all the chips, installed chips in the large chips, and used a special machine to scan them when changing chips.

However, this is not a problem for counterfeiters. There are so many talented people in the world that they can even make counterfeit banknotes, let alone chips.

Moreover, this is not the casino in Australia. Gamblers who play here often take the remaining chips home and do not exchange them for money immediately. Next time they go there to play, they don’t have to waste time exchanging chips, which makes it difficult to clear the chips.

At first, these Vietnamese people were very cautious, starting with chips of fifty yuan and working their way up to one hundred yuan, but gradually they became greedy and set their sights on larger sums.

Originally, the Yue State criminal gang could have left safely, but due to the appearance of Chen Xi, they have now been arrested.

Chen Xi didn't know yet that this time it wasn't just these few Yue people who were unlucky, all parties involved were involved and the situation was extremely complicated.

"Why are you still using that Nokia? Didn't I give you a new phone?" In the office, Chen Xi frowned when he saw Xia Lian still using the old phone.

"I can still use this one, but I want to take the iPhone back for my dad." Xia Lian lowered her head, looking a little embarrassed.

"This phone cannot be used in China now. It needs to be unlocked."

"Unlock? What's that?"

"Forget it. It can't be used in China anyway, and you won't be able to make calls if you bring it back."

"Well, I'll go back and try it out."

Chen Xi took out a card from his wallet, placed it on the table, and gently pushed it in front of Xia Lian.

When Xia Lian saw that he was still using the wallet she gave her, she felt as happy as if she had eaten honey.

"This is a Doncaster Westfield discount card. The mall will be expanded in a few months and will open for business then. This is a gift from the mall for an event in advance. There are still a few hundred dollars in it. Go buy some clothes and treat yourself better."

"Don't you need it?"

"Haha, I'm a grown man and I don't go shopping at all, so I can give it to you."

Chen Xi smiled and let Xia Lian accept it. He actually paid for the card, and he did this on purpose because he was afraid that the other party would not accept it.

"Ding ding." At this time, the cell phone rang. It was Saori calling, and he hurried out of the office.

"Hey, what's up, babe."

After pressing the answer button, Chen Xi took a deep breath.

After a few minutes, he gently put down his phone.

This woman Ma Yueling actually asked me to meet her. I guess she wanted to thank me.

I actually forgot to exchange contact information last time, and I actually found Saori, haha.

How can this woman be so beautiful? If...

Forget it, Alin has already reminded me that this woman is not simple.

"Xiao Lian, I have something to do and I have to leave first."

"Wait, your card."

"Remember to buy some clothes to wear. If you can't afford it, buy some food to nourish your body."

Before Xia Lian could chase after him, Chen Xi had already disappeared at the door.

Xia Lian looked at the empty doorway, her eyes falling on the small card on the table again. She sighed and put it away silently.

"Focus on your work and don't play with your phone." Before leaving, he patted Dongdong who was playing with his phone, which scared him.

"I'm not playing, I'm watching the news!"

"You still watch the news? When did you start caring about international affairs?"

"The teacher asked us to write a paper. I was reading the financial news and saw other people's comments saying that the global economy was damaged, international oil prices were rising, and the energy situation was grim."

"Oh, then you continue watching."

"If the oil price goes up, will our charges also increase? After all, we have to travel a long way every time we go out for work!"

"Oh, take your time to think about it. I'm leaving first."

With a wave of his hand, Chen Xi got into the car directly.

The oil price in Australia has been rising rapidly, but the starting point is high, so the growth rate is slightly slower than that of China.

In my previous life, I often saw news reports that people in China complained about the high price of oil, but it was nothing compared to the price of oil in Australia. The price of oil in China is different from that in Australia. In H country, the price of oil is changed collectively across the country, while in Australia, the price of oil is different at each gas station. Maybe the price at this gas station is expensive, but it will be cheaper at other places.

And each area is different. The oil price in Xi Village is a little bit more expensive than that in Mo Village.

Ouyang Ming likes to find cheap places to refuel. Whenever there is cheap oil somewhere, he will drive over and fill up, which can save him dozens of dollars.

As for the price increase, he didn't think it was necessary. If the price was raised, it would easily cause old customers to leave. He would consider such a thing after he became a big business.

"Chen Xi, I'm here."

"Why did you meet here?"

"This is the place where Sister Ling made an appointment. This is my first time here!"

Chen Xi was stunned when he looked at the restaurant in front of Saori. He checked his clothes today and thought that he should not be stopped outside. It was a bit embarrassing in his previous life.

Known as one of the top ten Chinese restaurants in the world, a meal at Wanshou Palace now costs at least several thousand yuan.

This made him doubt whether the boss really wanted to open a restaurant. How could there be so many wealthy customers coming here to spend money? It was obvious that he just wanted to open a restaurant for fun and entertain important guests.

As soon as they entered the door, the two were greeted by the waiter. There were not many customers in the restaurant and it seemed a bit quiet.

Ma Yueling was sitting at a table at this time, and two bodyguards in suits were standing not far away.

She carries bodyguards with her wherever she goes. He has only seen two women like this in Australia. One is Ma Yueling, and the other is the daughter of Wanwan XXX's leader. The girl is also studying in Australia and is followed by bodyguards wherever she goes.

The decoration here is elegant and solemn, full of classical charm.

In a city surrounded by modern buildings, coming here feels like traveling back to ancient times, allowing people to feel the profound heritage of H country's traditional culture.

Tables, chairs, doors, windows, and other objects are all made of wood, carved with exquisite patterns, showing exquisite woodworking skills.

The paintings on the walls are also very eye-catching, depicting myths, legends and historical stories.

Today, Ma Yueling is still wearing a light-colored dress, but she is wearing a pair of sunglasses, which adds a bit of mystery to her. Her temperament is as elegant as ever.

"Sister Ling, this is the dessert from my shop. I hope you like it." Saori enthusiastically took out the bag that had been prepared long ago and handed it to her.

"Thank you." Ma Yueling took the items handed to her by the other party with a smile, then waved her hand gently, indicating that the bodyguard behind her did not need to come forward to help.

"Saori, order whatever you like."

"Just order it. This is my first time here."

"Okay then, are there any dietary restrictions?"

"Chen Xi doesn't eat spicy food."

"Um, okay, what about you?"

"I can do it."

Looking at the two women chatting there, Chen Xi felt like he was a little redundant.

"You read the news, right?"

"Yeah, I saw it."

Ma Yueling took a sip of tea and spoke slowly.

Chen Xi nodded.

"Is there anything you want to say?"

"What are you talking about? This is your Crown's business."

"You helped me upstairs that day, and so many people saw it. It's easy for people to associate it with you..."

"Oh, you have captured the person. Even if there are accomplices who want to retaliate, you will not ignore it. If this gets out, who will dare to help you in the future?"

"Haha, this matter is not that simple. But since you helped me, I will definitely protect you."

"Thank you, Sister Ling."

The two smiled at each other, which made Saori very puzzled.

"As a thank you, within my power, I can give you a small table and a year's dividend."

"Forget it, the gift is too big, it's not nice to accept it."

"It's not much money actually. If you don't accept it, others will think we don't know how to repay our gratitude."

"This will cause me trouble."

"I told you I would protect you."

Ma Yueling took off her sunglasses and looked at him with a smile. Although she was smiling, Chen Xi felt a chill in his back.

"Okay, then I'll accept it."

"Don't worry, the money won't be directly deposited into your card. It will be more convenient if I give you Chips."

"Forget about Chips."

Faced with the gifts from Ma Yueling, he could only accept them with tears in his eyes.

This woman is so scary. She gave him money and he had to accept it. I'm afraid no one will believe this if I tell others about it.

With a small table, the income can reach 100,000 yuan a day. I don't know how much I will get, but it is definitely not a small sum in a year.

What does this woman want to do?
Saying that he has a crush on me is complete nonsense.

Ma Yueling is beautiful, rich and powerful, so it is easy for her to maintain a few gigolos.

But I just need to have a good relationship with her, and I hope she won’t cheat me.

"Sister Ling, why did you give Chen Xi potato chips?" Saori tilted her head and looked at the two of them.

"Haha, Saori is so cute." Ma Yueling looked at her cute expression and couldn't help but covering her mouth and laughing.

Chen Xi rubbed Sazhi's little head.

Chips is the name for chips in casino, not potato chips.

At this time, the dishes came up one after another, and the three of them started eating.

"What do you know about Crown?"

"Well... Crown is the largest gaming company in Australia. It also has many businesses, including hotels and tourism... The Crown Group is present in Europe, North America, Australia, Southeast Asia, Russia and other places."

"Well, do you know the relationship between the Crown in Australia and the Crown here?"

"Um... I know a little about this. I won't say more about your family affairs."

"Then you know the boss of Crown and the boss of the Australian region..."

"Uh..." The two of them chatted hesitantly, and only said half of the words each time. However, both sides could guess what was left unsaid. As an old gambler who once wanted to enter the gambling industry, Chen Xi naturally knew this industry very well.

Ma Yueling appeared calm on the surface, but she was secretly surprised in her heart. She had already investigated the identity of the man in front of her, so how could he know so much about these things?

What Chen Xi showed made her very curious, and she couldn't help wanting to find out. But the other party was a sly person, and his answers were always vague, making it extremely difficult to test him.

During the meal, the two gradually deepened their understanding of each other.
