Be reborn and be happy to the fullest

Li Shuo was about to agree to accept Cui Yunzhen as his apprentice, but Xu Yike suddenly stood up and interrupted him:

"No! I object!"

Xu Yike was of course not really opposed to it, as she was well aware of the truth that "people will not cherish things that are too easy to get."

Then he said angrily, "Shuo Ge'er, you have known me for such a long time and taught me secretarial work, but you still didn't accept me as your apprentice. Why should you accept Cui Yunzhen just after you met her?"

Li Shuo was speechless. You can't say that Choi Yun-jeong is prettier than you, right? In fact, their looks are similar, both between 90-95 points, but Choi Yun-jeong has a little more temperament.

Cui Yunzhen quickly added: "No, no, no, I didn't ask you to accept me now. I just hope you can teach me and accept me as a registered disciple first. If I don't perform well, you can expel me at any time..."

Before she could finish, Li Shuo waved his hand and said, "Okay, stop arguing. It's just a little insight. It's nothing to teach you today. You can take turns. I will teach each of you 3 games. Whoever can gain some insights and make more profits in the end, I will consider accepting him as my disciple..."

He really didn't understand Xu Yike's "good intentions" and thought that this green tea girl was willing to learn.

However, this also achieved Xu Yike's goal of "increasing the difficulty". She smiled with satisfaction and continued the game...

From this round on, one of Xu Yi Ke or Cui Yunzhen will be by Li Shuo's side. At the beginning of each round, he will show his cards to them, and at the end of the game, he will explain his ideas to them.

This kind of explanation of ideas made Iwasaki Junko and Zhang Yuyan suddenly enlightened, and they felt that they had learned a lot.

The sky outside gradually darkened, and before we knew it, it was already 9 o'clock in the evening. At this time, Cui Yunzhen was sitting next to Li Shuo, and the latter looked nervous:

One reason was that her luck had been terrible up to this point in the game, with more losses than wins. Compared to Xu Yike, she had actually fallen behind in profits by more than 10,000 yuan!

Secondly, in this round of cards, she finally got the biggest hand, which was the "100% winning" hand as Li Shuo said. Now what she had to consider was how to get others to invest more chips, so that she could eventually win all the chips at the moment of the flip!

Xu Yike, who had returned to the dealer position, turned over three community cards and looked at Cui Yunzhen first: "It's your turn to speak..."

"I... I've already lost a lot, so I'll play it safe and not add any more cards!" Choi Yun-jeong said weakly.

"Then I'll add 3000!" Zhang Yuyan was shocked. She originally thought that her cards were not good and was about to give up, but now she wanted to win more by "exploding".

Iwasaki Junko raised her beautiful eyebrows and smiled: "I will top up the bet: 10,000!"

After throwing out the chips, he looked at the two women calmly and said, "I'll teach you another lesson. In addition to learning how to calculate the risk-return ratio at the poker table, you must also understand the situation and don't go against people with big chips easily! Because people with big chips can lose countless times, while people with small chips only have one chance!"

The other two people suddenly felt tremendous pressure. Choi Yun-jeong even doubted whether the cards in her hand were the biggest. After all, Texas Hold'em requires three deals, and with the new cards being dealt, the biggest card now may become the second or third!

"What do you think? Miss Cui, do you want to follow?" Iwasaki Junko stared at Cui Yunzhen and continued to put pressure on her.

Cui Yunzhen gritted her teeth and said, "I'll follow!"

"I'll let it go. After all, it's only another 10,000 chips!" Zhang Yuyan discarded her cards.

Li Shuo next to him knew Choi Yun-jeong's card pattern. In his opinion, the probability of Iwasaki Junko catching up with Choi Yun-jeong was only 5% now. Choi Yun-jeong's actions were more like confusing her opponent.

The dealer continued to deal the cards, but Cui Yunzhen showed joy and chose to raise the bet actively this time: "I'll add another 1!"

"It seems that Miss Cui has very good cards, but unfortunately, I also have big cards!" Iwasaki Junko smiled and followed the bet easily.

Li Shuo had a blank expression on his face, but in his heart he admired Cui Yunzhen even more: this girl knew that she couldn't show weakness all the time. On the surface, she gave people the feeling of "pretentiousness", but in fact, she had already won.

Sure enough, after the last round of cards were dealt, Choi Yun-jeong continued to raise the full amount!

This time, Iwasaki Junko thought for a long time, and finally sighed and said, "I guess you should have the biggest hand, otherwise a novice like you wouldn't be so relentless, but I'm afraid you'll blow me up, so I'll bet you 10,000 yuan to open your hand!"

"I have the Ace of Hearts and King of Hearts, which makes the biggest pure suit with the cards!"

Choi Yoon-jeong had the biggest hand, so when Iwasaki Junko called, she followed poker etiquette and showed her cards first.

Iwasaki Junko's eyes flashed with surprise, and she looked at Li Shuo and said, "I didn't expect that your little disciple is such a good actor!"

Li Shuo smiled and said, "Maybe she is very talented."

This conversation almost implies that he wants to accept Choi Yoon-jeong as his disciple!

"yeah!"

Cui Yunzhen jumped up, cheered excitedly, and hugged Li Shuo with her arms unconsciously. She only reacted the next moment and quickly let go.

"It's ok"

Li Shuo smiled, then turned to Xu Yike and asked, "Yike, if you want to learn poker, you can also follow Yunzhen in the future..."

Xu Yike naturally didn't want to learn poker, but she still nodded quickly and said with a smile: "Okay, thank you Boss!"

"You're welcome. We've been playing cards for so long, everyone must be tired. Let's go and take a break. Yuyan, bring the things over. We've been so busy playing cards that we've drunk too much red wine..."

As the host of this place, Li Shuo normally invited everyone to the audio-visual room next door.

"Oh~comfortable"

Xu Yike lay directly on the soft sofa and made lazy sounds.

Choi Yoon-jeong walked obediently in front of Li Shuo, making room for him in the middle seat, and even put a pillow behind him.

"Thank you"

After Li Shuo sat down, Cui Yunzhen sat next to him and quickly took over Zhang Yuyan's job, serving tea and water to Li Shuo.

It was a real tea-making process. Even Iwasaki Junko's eyes lit up after watching the whole process. Then, Cui Yunzhen held the teacup above her head with both hands, and respectfully knelt on the ground in front of Li Shuo with a plop:

"Master, please accept my disciple's greeting!"

"Hey, you know this?"

Li Shuo was stunned. At this moment, he really felt like he had accepted a disciple.

"SK Choi family is a traditional South Korean clan, deeply influenced by Chinese Confucian culture." Xu Yike next to him was also a little stunned, with a complicated feeling of "I clearly want you to be boyfriend and girlfriend, but you actually want to be his apprentice", and at this time he had to say good things about Choi Yun-jeong.

"Get up. I've never been a master, so naturally I don't have these rules. But the tea has been served. I will naturally teach you everything that can be used. As for how much you can learn, it depends on your own understanding!"

Having said that, Li Shuo still picked up the tea and pretended to take a sip. He was so happy that he could hardly express it in words. He felt that taking in a disciple was similar to adopting a goddaughter.

"Thank you, Master!"

Cui Yunzhen stood up, her face no longer serious, and handed Li Shuo another glass of wine, saying: "Just now I toasted the master with tea, now I toast my friend with wine..."

In one word, the atmosphere became lively.

Li Shuo quickly evaded the question: "You can drink Master's tea, but this is my friend's wine, you have to toast with me..."

"Master, can you bear to let a girl drink it?" Cui Yunzhen had a pitiful expression.

"Then let's drink together!" Li Shuo raised his glass, looked at everyone and said, "Today's party officially begins now!"

"cheers!"

All the women raised their glasses and drank them all in one gulp.

In contrast, Li Shuo, who didn't drink much foreign liquor, was a little uncomfortable at this time, so he didn't finish it in one breath and started coughing.

"Master, are you okay?"

Cui Yunzhen quickly stood up and massaged his back, but as she was massaging, she joked, "Master, you can't do this. If you can't even drink better than a woman, how are you going to find me a master's wife in the future?"

Hearing this, Li Shuo almost choked to death on his own saliva!

"Hehe, if he can't find his master's wife, you can be promoted directly from apprentice to master's wife!"

Xu Yike covered his mouth and laughed, risking exposing his purpose by creating some ambiguity between the two of them.

"What are you talking about, you stupid girl? He is my master!"

Cui Yunzhen was fooled and her little face turned red.

"What's wrong, Master? There's not much of a difference in age between you two anyway!"

"You also said..."

"Hehe, and you guys are just learning poker skills, not serious preaching and receiving. Who said we can't be together?"

"Xu Yike, you have this idea on your own, don't involve me..."

"So what if I have it? I still want to be your master's wife!"

"Forehead……"

In this round of confrontation, Choi Yoon-jeong was completely defeated in terms of shamelessness.

While the two girls were arguing, Zhang Yuyan had already turned on the projector and played a movie on the screen. It was the very popular "If You Are the One Part Two" last year. Li Shuo vaguely remembered that he had bought movie tickets in his previous life and planned to take Jiang Menghan with him, but he didn't find anyone that day...

Now, he looked at the four beauties around him. Even Xu Yike, who had the lowest appearance, was comparable to Jiang Menghan - if we put aside the halo of "white moonlight".

As for Xu Yike, Li Shuo had a strong feeling: even if he beckoned his finger, Xu Yike would immediately kneel down and crawl over to lick him...

"Mr. Li, if you plan to look for a chef at the food exhibition, you might as well raise the conditions a little bit..." At this time, Junko Iwasaki stretched out the wine glass in her hand and clinked glasses with Li Shuo.

"Raise the conditions?"

Iwasaki Junko took a sip of wine and said, "Your manor is full of beautiful girls. It would not be appropriate to hire a fat male chef. However, most chefs at the food exhibition are of that type..."

Li Shuo understood: "You want me to hire a female chef?"

"Not only does she have to be a woman, she also has to be pretty, or at least not too pretty, so it'll be pleasing to the eye, right?" Junko Iwasaki said with a smile.

However, Li Shuo felt that this woman had given him an excuse that he could not refuse her help: it is naturally difficult to find a beautiful chef, and if Li Shuo had no channels, he could only seek her help. By then, the people who would be arranged to enter the manor would naturally be Junko Iwasaki's people.

Now Li Shuo has a close relationship with Iwasaki Junko, so this naturally does not need to be considered, but Li Shuo cannot guarantee that he can always have such a harmonious relationship with Iwasaki Junko. He will not forget that the eldest daughter of the Iwasaki family has always had a plan to "culturally conquer China."

However, this woman was like a devil, and what she said hit Li Shuo's heart completely!

Li Shuo took a sip of wine and tried hard not to respond, but heard Iwasaki Junko say, "Let's wait and see when the food tasting begins. Maybe there will be a beautiful chef. I will give her some strength and impose some unspoken rules. Then, our judge Li can speak up bravely and speak for justice, and finally win the heart of the beautiful chef and bring her into the luxurious manor..."

Hearing this, Li Shuo laughed and said, "Ms. Iwasaki is really good at writing scripts!"

Iwasaki Junko shook her head and said, "When the power reaches the level of distorting reality, it is no longer a script! Of course, the premise is that there is a beautiful chef you value..."

For the first time, Li Shuo felt that Junko Iwasaki was not a sweet, white, rich and beautiful girl, but the eldest daughter of a high-ranking chaebol!

"Brother Shuo, I'll toast you a glass..."

At this time, Xu Yike came over and wanted to clink glasses with Li Shuo, and the topic was immediately terminated. Several people leaned back on the sofa, watching the movie and drinking. Of course, almost everyone's attention was not on the movie.

"Li Shuo, in private, can I just call you by your name?"

"no problem!"

"Uh, let's not do that. Zhang Yuyan calls you Boss. I think people in the secretary's office probably don't have private time or occasions..."

"After all, you haven't entered the secretarial office yet, so you don't have to abide by the rules of the secretarial office... Besides, the secretarial office doesn't actually have that many rules and regulations. Everyone just calls me Boss out of habit..."

"So Boss, you have so many beauties around you, which one do you like best?"

"Well, this question is not easy to answer, and I don't have a standard answer."

"Okay then, let's narrow it down. Among the four of us, who do you think is more attractive to you right now?"

Xu Yike boldly brought up the topic, which immediately attracted the ambiguous glances of the girls. Perhaps most of them did not have romantic feelings for Li Shuo, but as women, "I don't like you, but you'd better like me", this is what they pursue.

Faced with this thorny question, Li Shuo frowned, but said very smoothly: "First, we have to rule out one answer, that is you who asked the question..."

"Huh? Why?"

"Who told you to embarrass me with such questions?"

"Bah, bah, bah, then I won't ask anymore!"

Li Shuo showed a satisfied look: "Then I don't have to answer."

"Ah? You're cheating! Hey, Choi Yun-jeong, come and ask!"

Xu Yike brought her best friend along, which was her original purpose.

Cui Yunzhen shook her head like a rattle: "No, no, no, I'm not curious about Master's feelings!"

Li Shuo smiled and said, "Look, just based on this point, Cui Yunzhen must be ranked ahead of you!"

"Ah? How can that be? It's my question, okay?" Xu Yike shouted in dissatisfaction.

"So, according to this logic, I actually prefer the cute and obedient type..."

As Li Shuo answered, Cui Yunzhen's pretty face turned red.
