บท 280: Two hundred eighty What did she buy?_1

Just a moment ago, he had spoken on the phone with his boss for a full fifteen minutes.

His boss, named Li Haitao, was a bona fide gambler.

Being near Hong Kong in Huacheng and having a wealthy family allowed him to join his fair-weather friends for trips to Hong Kong every so often.

He started gambling modestly, but as time passed, he got bolder, betting one hundred thousand or two hundred thousand at a time.

He completely disregarded the value of money.

Just two days ago, he lost fifty million in a single night.

The loss was devastating.

He lay on the big bed in his private villa, pondering selling the small, three-story building to use as gambling capital to win back his losses.

And right at that moment, Xiao Wang called to say someone was interested in that building; it was like sleep coming upon him as he encountered a pillow—couldn't be more timely.

He immediately agreed, saying he wanted to meet Gu Chen that evening, ready to sell if the offer was suitable.
