Chapter 1595
Dong Xuebing felt frustrated, helpless, and speechless.
This was his current mood. He wasn't afraid of conflicts with others; Dong Xuebing had made countless enemies over the years, but he stood his ground. Those who offended him often ended up defeated or injured. Perhaps it was related to his past experiences; Dong Xuebing's temperament had always been strong. He couldn't tolerate being treated differently when others were allowed in. Given his personality, how could he endure such treatment? Even if the casino called over staff and security personnel, Dong Xuebing was ready to fight. He wasn't afraid, and none of them were his match. In the past, Dong Xuebing had resolved conflicts like this and was accustomed to this direct and unavoidable approach. Sometimes, when faced with such situations, there was no choice but to act.
But the casino didn't respond with hostility. Instead, they all smiled and gave him money. They didn't even glare at him, let alone show any hostility.
Dong Xuebing was angry, but he couldn't express it. There's a saying that you can't hit someone who's all smiles. Dong Xuebing was a reasonable person. If someone respected him, he would reciprocate. Now that the casino had lowered its attitude, Dong Xuebing couldn't just explode in anger. That would be unreasonable. Upon careful consideration, he understood why the casino didn't welcome him. It was inevitable. He wouldn't welcome people like himself if he owned a casino. Even if he didn't exchange chips or gamble, standing there would put too much pressure on the casino. It was like someone with a gun standing in a bank lobby for no reason. Who knows if he might rob the place?
Dong Xuebing's expression softened slightly.
Seeing a chance, the person in charge closed the box and handed it forward. "If there's anything we've neglected, please accept our apology."
To appear and receive a hundred thousand US dollars just like that made many people envious.
Master Song, Hou Wen, and other leaders' family members didn't know what to say. Up to this point, they still didn't understand what was happening.
Only some dealers and staff who guessed Dong Xuebing's identity didn't feel jealous; instead, they looked at Dong Xuebing with respectful eyes. They knew that this money wasn't something anyone could take. The casino was giving money because of Dong Xuebing's reputation. Despite being just one person, he threatened the casino's interests, even its foundation.
But Dong Xuebing didn't accept or speak.
The person in charge said, "Then let our boss treat you to a meal these days to compensate for our shortcomings. What do you think?"
Boss?
Apologizing by treating him to a meal?
Although they knew the person in charge was saying this and wouldn't have the boss apologize, everyone could sense that someone who could summon the boss of the largest casino in Macau must be extraordinary. Many dealers became more convinced of their speculations. This person was probably one of those three, not their apprentice or junior, but the person himself.
Dong Xuebing pushed the box back. "There's no need for your boss to apologize, and I don't know him, so it's unnecessary. But I accept your apology just now. We came here to have a look around. It's our first time in Macau, so we must visit the largest casino, right? Otherwise, it would be embarrassing to say we've been to Macau, yet you've deprived me of this right. Your apology was necessary."
The person in charge echoed, "Yes, we were wrong in this matter, so this money..."
"I don't want the money," Dong Xuebing interrupted, not intending to accept it. "I have no reason to take your money, and you have no reason to give it to me."
Not taking the money?
Are you refusing free money?
Even those who were just bystanders thought this person was being foolish.
But the casino staff weren't surprised because they knew that someone who could earn billions with a wave of their hand wouldn't care about tens of thousands. When they gave him the money, the person in charge didn't expect him to take it. They were showing a humble attitude. In fact, given his status, he could earn back tens of millions just by chatting with them for a while and playing a few tables.
Dong Xuebing slowly said, "You've apologized. Let's leave it at that." Pausing momentarily, he added, "I'm giving you face today."
Hearing this, the person in charge and his subordinates breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "Thank you, thank you. If there's a chance, we'll come to apologize in person."
"No need," Dong Xuebing replied, then turned to the bewildered family members of the officials. "Aunt Zhang, Sister Chen, Aunt Zhou, you all carry on. Since they're not welcoming me here, I'll go out for a smoke first. I'll wait for you all outside."
The person in charge quickly explained, "It's not that we're not welcoming you..."
Aunt Zhou responded, "That won't do."
Sister Chen suggested, "Let's leave together."
Another family member said, "Yes, it's about time."
Since they came together, they naturally left together. After discussing for a while, they all turned and headed towards the door.
The person in charge and his subordinates hurriedly followed to see them off. They said to Dong Xuebing's companions, "I'm sorry about today ruining everyone's mood. Where are you all going? I'll arrange for a car to take you there."
"No need."
"Have you arranged accommodation? If not, I can arrange a hotel."
"We've arranged it, so there's no need to trouble."
As they walked out, they were surrounded by apologies from the casino staff.
Listening to all this, the family members couldn't get angry anymore.
Five minutes later.
On the street outside the casino.
There was still sometime before the scheduled meeting time, so they could only wait here.
Dong Xuebing felt embarrassed and joked with everyone, "Sorry, it's my fault today. I'm too handsome, and the casino doesn't welcome me."
Han Fang chuckled.
The wife of the secretary was also amused by him, but she quickly asked, "What's going on?"
Master Song and others were all paying attention, waiting for Dong Xuebing's explanation and response.
But Dong Xuebing certainly wouldn't say. He shrugged, "I don't know either, probably a case of mistaken identity."
"Oh, I see. No wonder," the secretary's wife didn't ask further, letting the matter pass with just a sentence.
But everyone knew that things might not be that simple. The husband of this Secretary Xie must have done something earth-shattering. Otherwise, how could such a massive and legitimate casino be terrified when they saw Dong Xuebing? There must be something going on inside.
Master Song and the other leaders' nephews and sons no longer dared to underestimate him.
A person who had never been to Macau before just showed his face and scared the casino; who could underestimate him?
