“Why would I be worried about him?
“He’s messing with me again!
“We’ve only been acquainted for half an hour!”
However, Quan Rui was not bothered by Bai Ran’s response. He glanced at her side profile with some interest. Then, he picked up a red, round card on the table that had the words “ALL IN” written on it (used to bet all the chips on one’s hand) and tossed it at the dealer.
“In that case…all in!”
Everyone gasped in shock.
“One hundred million dollars!”
“All in, he said!”
“The Master of the Quan Family must be in the mood to play tonight!”
“But…that’s a hundred million dollars!”
Jiang Bangyuan and Jiang Hao were stunned by this bold move. The two siblings exchanged a look of disbelief etched all over their faces.
The Universal Group that Quan Rui was in charge of was a conglomerate that was branched out to multiple industries, and included culture, fashion, luxury goods, tourism, real estate…and countless other important sectors of society!
Besides, they were the international leaders of every industry they dipped their toe into!
The Universal Group was the highest income earner in recent decades, and this lifted the Quan Family into the highest echelons of international society.
There was just one little problem.
Nobody knew exactly how much money Quan Rui possessed.
There was no answer to this.
It was once said that someone once spent a great deal of resources and manpower to investigate this. But before he could accurately grasp the earnings of one single subsidiary company under the Universal Group, he had fainted from the shockingly high numerical value he found.
Yet this man, Quan Rui, whose company was welcome anywhere in the world, had chosen to set up the Universal Group’s new headquarters in Sanjiang City!
It was a great honor for Sanjiang City!
Thus, the political marriage between Quan Rui and the most prestigious family in Sanjiang City, the Jiang Family, was a celebrated piece of news that everyone in the city had been discussing excitedly for a long time.
Sixty percent of the guests who attended the charity event tonight had fought tooth and nail to be invited after they heard Quan Rui would grace the event.
And as expected, Quan Rui did not disappoint them tonight.
Nobody could look away from such a man!
While everyone reeled in the shock of Quan Rui’s move, fine beads of sweat broke out on Meng Fan’s forehead.
To Quan Rui, a hundred million dollars might be worth just a few meager plots of land in the First Ring of the downtown area. But to Meng Fan, it was a dream firmly out of his reach.
“A hundred million dollars!
“Quan Rui bet a hundred million dollars! I can only follow suit with a hundred million dollars…or fold.
“But my cards are obviously good…”
Meng Fan looked at the cards in his hands.
A king of clubs and a jack of clubs.
This was in addition to the four cards on the table—the jack of hearts, ten of spades, king of spades and jack of diamonds—which were laid out in front of all the players.
His cards would increase the number of jacks to three.
“Unless Quan Rui can make a straight flush (a ten of spades, a jack of spades, a queen of spades, a king of spades and an ace of spades), he will lose this round.”
A straight flush was the greatest feat in the game of poker. The player who achieved this was automatically and unquestionably the winner.
Meng Fan did not believe that Quan Rui had the cards (or the luck) to make a straight flush!
“The woman in his arms also said that Quan Rui’s cards are bad. There’s no way.”
Meng Fan’s brain whirred quickly through all the possibilities and considered every scenario he could think of.
“If Quan Rui cannot make a straight flush, I will win the hundred million dollars easily! I might even become famous from now on!
“As for the hundred million dollars that I need to bet…
“…I have some real estate, stocks, and funds I could cash in. If I include my ancestral home, I will have around sixty million dollars.
“When I win, no one will care that I don’t actually have that much money in the first place!”
Meng Fan gritted his teeth and his hands trembled in excitement. He tossed out the little red card with the words “ALL IN”. He looked at Quan Rui and tilted his chin arrogantly.
“All in then!”
