Chapter 2009

In the room full of smoke, the air has been tainted by the smoke from the burning tobacco leaves, alcohol has also been added to it, mixed with the smell of various perfumes, and it becomes even more stinky.

Many people don’t actually know that when you take a sip of concentrated perfume, it’s like someone punched your brain. It’s pungent, and some of them are very smelly.

The air in the room got worse, but no one noticed.

Everyone's attention was focused on the five people on the table.

The player sitting opposite Joanna casually pushed a stack of chips into the middle of the gaming table.

The croupier counted for him, "A total of 120, sir."

The man looked at Joanna provocatively, and then at the others.

He is using his own unique way to tell others that his cards are very strong!
But at this time, this kind of style has little meaning.

Firstly, this kind of game itself is intriguing. Using 120 million chips to gamble with all the chips on the table, although there are risks, but the risks are not great.

And the game has been going on for so long, and it needs something exciting.

Joanna glanced at the cards in her hand again, and strengthened her belief that she must win.

At this point, she doesn't feel like calling or even raising is risky.

In her opinion, these people are sending her money.

Because of her cards, she will never lose!
She pushed out all the chips in front of her without hesitation, but unfortunately, the croupier reminded her appropriately, "Ma'am, you don't have enough chips."

The guy sitting across from him chuckled. Although he didn't say anything or do anything, the attitude and demeanor he showed...

It's like laughing at Joanna as a poor person with no money!
Man is a very complex animal, wisdom endows us with the ability to think, and thinking creates many problems.

Joanna's background is not prominent, which is also her shortcoming. Her family background is not even comparable to that of Mr. Truman.

At least Mr. Truman's family has been from the military for generations, even if the previous ones were not high in military rank, they were all officers!

Their comrades-in-arms are officers, and some of their comrades' children are also officers.

Especially in Mr. Truman's generation, he has already reached the upper echelons of the military!
If it weren't for the fact that the federal military was too afraid of taking responsibility for defeat, which led to the lack of toughness in the federation, Congress cut military spending again and again.

Mr. Truman will not transfer from the army to a civilian job, and he will serve as the president's staff through his relationship.

He is very likely to be a lieutenant general of the Federation now!
Looking at Joanna's current social circle, anyone has a better family background than her.

Those with prominent backgrounds are countless!
Like the former Mr. President and Mrs. President, their families may not be known much among the federal people, but they are well-known political families in the high-level political arena.

Only her, no matter her background or her own development, was not satisfactory.

The more people lack something, the more they care about it.

It's like a cripple is most afraid of being said that his legs are bad. Someone laughed at Rhyme for being a cripple, and Rhyme hired someone to knock out all the teeth of the guy.

But if someone says that Lynch is lame, or that normal people are lame, those people will only find it inexplicable.

Because they are not lame, they are not afraid of what people say, the more they are afraid of what people say, the more they don't have it.

It's like...wealth.

The poor who have been working for half their lives finally have money and spend money to obtain a corresponding status. It seems that Joanna doesn't care about it.

This cannot avoid her inner sensitivity.

She pursed her lips and looked at the person who organized the game.

"I want another 200 million chips, and the money will be transferred by phone."

At this time, the largest denomination of cash checks issued by the major federal banks was still 20, while the transfer checks were only 50.

More than 50 "cash transactions" often use cashier's checks.

As long as the cashier's check is genuine, it represents money and can be accepted by any bank.

Joanna didn't have the habit of bringing promissory notes when playing cards, and she didn't think she could use them.

In the past, I lost hundreds of thousands in poker, and most of them used transfer checks.

Of course, in addition to this, there is another commonly used method, which is telephone transfer, which is only open to a small number of large customers.

The organizer of the game was also a lady. She put her hand on Joanna's arm, "Don't be angry, my dear, we are here for joy, not for vindictiveness."

"It's not a wise choice to spend 200 million to get angry."

Once a person is dominated by anger, as long as it violates his own decision, he will feel that it is not good for him.

Just like what the organizer of the game said at this time, to Joanna's ears, it seemed to be saying, "If you don't have money, don't bet so much. If you lose, you can't afford to lose..."

She turned over her cards again, took a look, gritted her teeth, "Listen, I'm not kidding."

Seeing that she was still going her own way, the organizer of the game didn't persuade her anymore.

"It's almost the end of the day at the bank, so how about it, you write an IOU, and I believe in your ability to repay it."

"I'll lend you the money."

Joanna didn't hesitate. She felt that the matter could be resolved in a few minutes at most.

The guy sitting across from her spoke again at this time, "Don't fill in the numbers, I might have to add more..."

When Joanna heard this, she felt even more uncomfortable, but she did as well.

She obviously didn't have anything in her hand, but the organizer of the game provided her with enough chips.

200 million, another 100 million.

Everyone could also see that the two were fighting. Except for one, the other two had thrown away their poker.

"It's too big, winning or losing is not something I can accept, sorry..."

"Looking at your performance..."

There was only one player left, who also seemed to have a big card, so he also chose to call.

In an instant, there were more than 1000 million chips on the table.

Even Joanna's breathing became short of breath at this time, and her emotions became even more excited!

She thought that raising the bet up to this moment should be enough.

But unexpectedly, the opponent raised again!
"The last million..."

Joanna glanced at the organizer of the poker game, who also said proactively, "You said, the last one million."

The man nodded, "That's all I have left."

So, Joanna wrote an integer of 400 million after having signed, pressed her fingerprints, and signed by other witnesses.

"Follow!"

Already invested 400 million, Joanna would absolutely not accept it if she lost all the money because she didn't want to pay another 100 million!
Moreover, she didn't think she would lose!
When her hand touched those three playing cards, her heart began beating violently like never before!
Every time it beats, it's like a hammer is beating a sheepskin drum violently, and the sound of the drum can shake the whole world!

The rapid secretion of adrenaline made her feel thirsty and blissful, and her whole body seemed to have endless energy, as if...becoming a god!
Time became extremely slow, and she watched the dust floating in the air slowly drift away in front of her at an extremely slow speed.

She saw the outermost layer of oil on that disgusting guy's face!
She saw many, many things that she hadn't noticed before, but in the end, the focus was on the cards in her hand!

She turned it over!
At this moment, people's shocked expressions are so clear that they can see the process of their pupils changing!
An unprecedented sense of satisfaction filled her body, and at this moment, she had an orgasm!
Unprecedented excellent feeling, tens of millions of excitement brought by winning or losing!

She squinted her eyes slightly, her eyelashes trembling, and after taking a deep breath, she calmed down again.

She looked at her opponent, and wanted to show a victor's smile, but she saw surprise on the face of the opposite person, and there was no sorrow and fear!

The guy on the opposite side laughed and turned over the cards in his hand while shaking his head. It was a little bigger than her, second only to the biggest card!
At this moment, the roar of thunder in her ears made her whole world undergo rapid black and white changes!

Under the high pressure in her head, she had tinnitus, hallucinations, and other sensations!
The whole world is spinning fast, spinning out of order!

Another player also sighed regretfully, covering his face with his hands.

The croupier didn't have much emotion about this, "...Mr. has the highest card,...Mr. wins."

The chips on the table were transferred to the guy opposite Joanna in an instant. He laughed and seemed very satisfied with the result!
Tens of millions of rounds of gambling, this will become the most favorite thing for gamblers in the federation to talk about!

"That's it for today."

The guy on the other end offered to end the game.

Whether it is in terms of time, spirit, or everyone's interest, it is already in place.

Joanna only realized it at this time, she just lost four million hundreds of thousands!
A trembling from the depths of her soul, an uneasiness that she had done something wrong, began to dominate her!

She subconsciously doesn't want to end the game, because as long as the game continues, there may not be no chance of winning back.

"We can play a little longer!", she said.

But someone else, the guy sitting across from her, asked her, "Do you have any more money?"

In a word, she froze in place.

The more than 400 million yuan will definitely not drag down the foundation so simply. There are still nearly [-] million yuan in various investment projects in the foundation.

For example, bonds, stocks held, financial products purchased and the like.

But these cannot be regarded as money, only banknotes are money.

There will be a lot of money that needs to be used in the future. Once the news leaks, the foundation will go bankrupt immediately.

She will even be investigated!
At this moment, she felt that her world was in darkness!
