Chapter 1775 - 1776: Eye-Catching

Looks rating of 90 points, no matter which school you attend, you can definitely be considered a goddess.

But when someone frequently encounters beauties with a 90-point rating, they'll eventually find them quite ordinary.

Lin Xian followed the cheongsam lady, took the elevator all the way to the fifth floor.

Stepping on a soft carpet, they arrived in front of a room, and the cheongsam lady slightly bowed,

smiling lightly, "Mr. Lin, Mr. Zhang has been waiting for quite a while."

"Thank you!"

Lin Xian smiled and nodded, then pushed the door open and walked into the room.

The room was large, spanning four to five hundred square meters.

Aside from a rest area, the most eye-catching thing was the extremely luxurious poker table in the center of the room.

The entire tabletop was made of Swarovski crystals, reflecting soft light under the illumination.

It's no exaggeration to say that just this poker table is worth tens of millions.

Apart from a uniformed croupier and two cheongsam-clad waitresses, there were five people scattered around the poker table.

Among them were Zhang Ze and Yuan Qi.

The other two men and one woman he hadn't met before. Likely they were Zhang Zezhong, friends from the Capital City and Shanghai.

Upon seeing him enter, the five people simultaneously turned their heads, focusing their gaze on him.

Especially the woman, whose eyes lit up, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised, showing an intrigued expression.

"Brother Lin!"

Zhang Ze stood up and enthusiastically beckoned, "Come sit here!"

Approaching the poker table, Lin Xian casually picked a seat and sat down, lightly laughed, "Sorry for keeping everyone waiting."

"Not at all, it's mostly my fault for notifying Lin so late,"

Zhang Ze said apologetically, gesturing to the left side woman, smiling, "Let me introduce you, this beauty is Liu Sichun, a friend from Shanghai."

Hearing this, Lin Xian quietly raised an eyebrow.

You see, when socializing, how you introduce people is a skill in itself.

Usually, the person introduced first is the most important one with the highest status.

As the second son of the Su Ning family, Zhang Ze certainly wouldn't make such a low-level mistake.

Clearly, even though Zhang Ze didn't provide a detailed introduction, he merely mentioned her name, but

from some details, it was evident that this woman named Liu Sichun had the highest status among the three.

Or perhaps, in Zhang Ze's mind, Liu Sichun held more weight than the other two.

"Hello!"

Liu Sichun raised a glass of red wine, smiling to greet.

She was wearing a white evening gown, as if she had just attended some banquet.

Her looks weren't exceptionally high, barely scoring an 85, but her temperament was quite good.

"Miss Liu, hello!"

Lin Xian smiled and nodded while turning on the Super Clear Glasses.

[Liu Sichun, true looks 83, body 81, likability 60!]

[Liu Sichun: Age 28, born March 6, 1988, graduated from the University of Pennsylvania, currently the CFO1 at Hope Group]

After glancing over her information, Lin Xian was suddenly enlightened.

So she was the young lady of Hope Group; no wonder Zhang Ze introduced her first.

Although in terms of reputation, Hope Group could not compare to a retail giant like Su Ning, its scale wasn't much inferior.

Moreover, a few years ago, Liu Sichun already held stocks in Hope Group, with a total value reaching 5.2

billion.

Also holding a high position in the group, it wouldn't be impossible for her to take over the group in the future.

At this point, Zhang Ze pointed to the young man in casual suit on the right, continuing the introduction,

"Lin Xi, my good buddy from the Capital City. This rascal is quite devious, Brother Lin, watch out for him."

From his casual tone, it was clear their relationship was indeed very good and not just ordinary friendship.

Sure enough, Lin Xi wasn't annoyed and jokingly retorted, "Zhang Ze, I knew nothing good would come from your dog's mouth. Brother Lin, don't listen to him talking nonsense, I'm a decent guy!"

Lin Xi's genuine Beijing dialect was quite entertaining to hear.

Through the Super Clear Glasses, Lin Xi's details were vividly displayed in front of him, the young son from the Kyoto Lin Family!

"Oh, met a family member!" Lin Xian teased.

Lin, who was very cheerful, laughed and said, "Certainly, perhaps eight generations ago, our ancestors were one family!"

Zhang Ze chuckled, pointing to the last man, teasing, "Wang Xiangyu, known as the undefeated poker player across the Three Eastern Provinces, although he hasn't won a game against us yet."

Wang Xiangyu's age was similar to Lin Xi, around twenty-four or five.

After Zhang Ze's introduction, he slightly curled his lip in disdain, then smiled at Lin Xian, "Brother, nice to meet you!"

"Mr. Wang, hello."

Lin Xian generally understood that although Liu Sichun held the most importance in Zhang Ze's heart, the friendship wasn't deep.

Because of the existence of the Super Clear Glasses, Liu Sichun and the other three were completely transparent to him.

But in their eyes, Lin Xian was full of mystery.

Being invited by Zhang Ze to the poker game and with such enthusiasm from Zhang Ze meant that Lin Xian's identity

and status were not inferior to theirs.

Knowing almost everyone important domestically was not an exaggeration.

Yet even so, they hadn't heard of Lin Xian's name at all.

This made the three of them very interested in him, especially Liu Sichun, who was constantly gazing at him with her beautiful eyes.

Taking a sip of red wine, she slightly leaned over and quietly asked Yuan Qi beside her:

"What's the background of this handsome guy?"

"Not sure!"

Yuan Qi shook his head.

Not sure?

Liu Sichun was initially stunned, then let out a subtle smile.

Interesting!

"Pick anything you want to drink, don't be polite with me!"

Zhang Ze said, pointing to the opposite wall.

Following his hand gesture, he saw that an entire wall had been transformed into a wine rack.

The wine rack, like a beehive, was filled with various types of alcohol, red wine, sparkling wine, champagne, whiskey, brandy, Chinese liquor... Everything was there, at least four to five hundred bottles.

Lin Xian even spotted a bottle of 95-degree Water of Life, vodka!

Damn!

95 degrees, can this stuff be used as medical alcohol?

Are you sure it's drinkable?

Might just get you ascending right after drinking!

"Don't worry, I won't be polite,"

Lin Xian smiled slightly, standing up and heading toward the wine rack.

Looking at the dazzling array of beverages, Lin Xian eventually selected a bottle of Chivas Whiskey.

Although he also liked Ace of Spades champagne, champagne was more suitable for dinners and evening parties; for this kind of card game, champagne felt a bit out of place.

Instead, stronger whiskey was more suitable for the current atmosphere.

Beside the wine rack, countless wine glasses were stacked high like a pyramid.

These wine glasses were quite interesting; on the left edge of the glass's rim, there was a recessed cylindrical groove.

Initially, Lin Xian found it confusing but quickly understood that this groove was actually a cigar groove.

You see, cigars are many times larger than cigarettes.

Usually, when playing cards, one hand would hold the cards, with the other hand holding a cigar.

But if you wanted to drink in the meantime, it becomes very inconvenient.

However, with this wine glass, it's different. Holding the glass allows the cigar to fit into the groove perfectly,

enabling you to hold both the cigar and the glass simultaneously with one hand.

This kind of wine glass is primarily custom-made and rarely seen outside top-tier clubs.

The reason is simple, too upscale!

Not even ordinary rich people would use it.

Picking up a wine glass, and grabbing the whiskey, Lin Xian returned to the poker table.

Zhang Ze eyed the choice of wine glass, pulled out a beautifully packaged cigar from his pocket, and handed it over, smiling, "Try this new Davidoff Cigar?"
