On Chen Xiaochuan's first day working at a card parlor, the owner told him to serve tea, keep his eyes down, ask no questions, and stay out of trouble.
Three hours later, he had wagered his last five hundred yuan, walked away with 230,000, and acquired a share in the parlor.
Everyone thought he was cheating.
But Chen Xiaochuan didn't need to.
He could remember every card, see through every move, and read the greed, guilt, and scheming no one at the table could hide.
A rich heir shows up in a Ferrari to throw his weight around?
The car stays.
A master cheat switches cards in front of everyone?
Chen pins his hand down, exposes the cards, and gives him a beating he'll never forget.
A beautiful dealer gets swindled out of her money and affection, saddled with a 500,000-yuan debt, and threatened with the release of private photos?
Chen Xiaochuan says just one thing:
“I'll get your IOU back for you, and I'll deal with the guy. As for his money, that's staying here too.”
From card-parlor server to the King of Cards in the South of the City; from starting out with five hundred yuan to claiming luxury cars, real estate, clubs, and teahouses as his own.
Other people sit down to win money.
Chen Xiaochuan sits down to make the whole table change hands.
He disdains cheating.
But no one can beat him.
