Chapter 2249: Chapter 2246: Li Can of the Li Family’s Third Household
"After all, working for others means your salary is fixed. How you’re treated depends entirely on the master’s attitude. If the master is generous, life is naturally good for the subordinates. But if the master is no good, you’ll toil away just to barely make ends meet."
Steward He could hear the veiled insult in his words, and his face turned dark.
"Steward He, look at me. Had a bit too much to drink and can’t control my mouth."
Tang Dongfeng feigned an apology.
Steward He forced back his anger, "Steward Tang, you’re also left with no choice, right? After all, you’re still working under someone else."
He shifted the blame onto Tang Dongfeng, hinting that Tang Dongfeng was only flattering his master by undermining others.
The gamblers around were all people of status, not lacking in silver.
They were happy to watch the two bicker, treating it as entertainment.
Among them were businessmen who had heard from friends at the gambling house yesterday about Tang Dongfeng and were curious to see him today.
No matter what everyone was thinking.
Tang Dongfeng stopped exchanging words with Steward He.
He started gambling directly.
Played two rounds.
As expected, Tang Dongfeng won both.
The four people playing with him included two young masters and two businessmen.
All four lost dozens of taels.
Though it wasn’t much.
The two young masters had already lost over a hundred taels before Tang Dongfeng arrived.
They were not pleased and their faces became sullen.
Even though they had money, they couldn’t squander it at will, as they didn’t own any businesses and relied on their elders for funds.
"Playing like this isn’t interesting. I’ve heard the stewards in the gambling house are quite skillful. Steward He, would you be willing to play a few rounds with me?"
"Would any of you be interested in watching the excitement from the side? The more people, the more fun it is." Tang Dongfeng smiled warmly and returned thirty taels to each of the four, "Just a small token of appreciation for occupying this table, and I hope everyone will give me a chance to play a round?"
The two young masters reacted first, quickly pocketing the silver, applauding, "Tang, you’re truly generous. Since you want to play, how could Steward He not accompany you?"
The one speaking was somewhat familiar.
Li Chun’er’s cousin from the Third household, Li Can, a typical profligate son of the capital, indulging in all sorts of vices.
The Li family is wealthy, making him a regular at the gambling den.
The young masters hanging around him weren’t good people either.
They were eager to watch a good show.
Following up with clapping, "Quite right, Steward He, come play, and don’t back out. If you enter a gambling den and can’t play, then what’s the point of having a casino."
"Exactly, a gambling den is interesting only if you can play it all." Li Can also slapped the table, impatiently urging.
The two businessmen were cunning, quickly standing up and excusing themselves to give up their seats.
Originally, Steward He wanted Tang Dongfeng to face off against the Li family’s young master.
Li Can enjoys gambling but isn’t a generous person.
Even if Tang Dongfeng wins his silver, whether he can take it home after leaving the gambling den isn’t up to him.
Unexpectedly, Tang Dongfeng continued as he did yesterday, refusing to confront Li Can and instead dragging him into the spotlight.
Now, he’s raised high up.
The moment Li Can spoke.
More onlookers gathered.
Ye Muyu noticed Xu Chan had entered at some point.
"Of course I’ll accompany Master Tang to play."
