Me and My Cold CEO Wife

Chapter 2019 - 2008: Conflict and Resolution

Zhang Xian's job is solely to prevent cheating. Since Ning Fan has been deemed not to have cheated, he can only offer advice to the casino, as he doesn't have decision-making authority.Faced with a conflict with Carmen, Zhang Xian can choose to stand by without intervening.

"Mr. Zhang, what do you mean by this? You want to withdraw now?"

Carmen said with a somber expression, "You should know this gentleman was handled by you. I can apply for arbitration with the board."

Zhang Xian personally acted as a croupier and even arranged this gambling session, losing 50 million US Dollars in one go. The board will definitely investigate this matter.

At the very least, they need to understand Zhang Xian's relationship with this man and the origin of this wager.

The so-called arbitration sounds nice in name, but in essence, Carmen suspects Zhang Xian of colluding with outsiders and selling out the casino's interests.

Zhang Xian, who is experienced with worldly affairs, instantly heard the unspoken implication, and with a somber face, he said unhappily, "That's your business. I can tell you clearly, I'm not his match, and the outcome will be the same if we continue."

"What about the casino's losses?"

Zhang Xian replied unhappily, "I'll take responsibility for these 50 million."

"That's what you said."

Carmen unhesitatingly shirked responsibility, someone was destined to bear the casino's losses.

Zhang Xian sneered, "Hmph! I will also report to the board about your conduct, Manager Carmen."

…

Watching the sudden infighting and bickering between these two, Ning Fan was dumbfounded, even somewhat inexplicably.

"Just because you said I'm not your match, you think I'll quit? It's simply laughable."

Ning Fan pursed his lips,

It's been a long time since he encountered such a situation of arrogance being exposed; he was now very interested, his hands ready at any moment.

How could he easily give up the gambling session?

"Since you open a casino, you can't forbid guests from gambling, right?"

If Ning Fan knew about the blacklist system, he would understand that the casino could indeed not let him enter.

The dispute between Zhang Xian and Carmen was finally halted by a single sentence from Tang Xiaoyue.

Tang Xiaoyue lowered her head and said, "Sir, you don't need to gamble. I will give you this hundred million."

Hearing this, both Carmen and Zhang Xian were stunned.

"Xiaoyue…"

"Mr. Zhang, you don't have to say anything. Any mistake is our mistake."

As she spoke, Tang Xiaoyue discreetly glanced at Carmen, annoyed by this troublemaker.

If it weren't for his threats, how would things have escalated to this point?

"You're going to give it to me?"

Ning Fan smiled and said, "You're just so sure that I can win a hundred million, what if I lose in the next round? Wouldn't you save that money?"

Ning Fan showed a look, as if he were thinking of her well-being.

"No need. I believe in Zhang Xian's words. Continuing the session holds no meaning."

Tang Xiaoyue indirectly did Zhang Xian a favor.

The situation has come to this, entirely caused by her. If she didn't take responsibility, she would not only offend her grandfather's old friend but also The Venetian.

Ning Fan frowned and said, "Are you sure you're going to pay?"

"I'm certain."

Despite the considerable cost, Tang Xiaoyue had no choice but to do so.

"Alright then."

Ning Fan turned his head and urged, "What are you waiting for, hurry and start!"

Tang Xiaoyue, who was thinking whether to write a check or make an electronic transfer, was stunned and quickly asked, "Sir, haven't we agreed?"

"Who agreed with you."

Ning Fan said speechlessly, "I came here to gamble, what's the point of you paying me?"

"But…"

"No buts."

Ning Fan waved his hand and sneered, "Today, I want to see what means this casino has."

Carmen's threatening words already made him angry.

Tang Xiaoyue's heart shook, and she once again seriously scrutinized this handsome face before her.

"If that's the case, then let me be the croupier."

Tang Xiaoyue had already decided that she would still cover this amount.

Seeing Tang Xiaoyue step forward, Karen's face changed several times, hesitating whether to inform the president now.

But thinking that it would be seen as incompetence, Kaen could only stop this thought.

"Miss Tang, you don't have to say anything. Let me handle this matter."

Carmen bowed to Zhang Xian and said, "I apologize for my actions earlier, I shouldn't have insulted such an upright person as you. Please accept my apology."

Then he came to Ning Fan and sincerely said, "I'm sorry, I take back what I said earlier. We at The Venetian hope to become friends with you; all of this was my personal negligence, please forgive me."

This sudden scene from Carmen made Ning Fan look at him with some newfound regard.

Knowing when to hold on and when to let go, he is indeed a Werewolf.

"Friends?"

Ning Fan squinted and smiled, "The kind that sends bullets behind the back?"

Carmen said seriously, "Definitely not. I swear on my grandmother's honor."

Carmen had already calmed down from anger, analyzing the pros and cons of the situation.

Only by taking all matters onto himself would be the best choice.

To the casino, a gambling technique expert is invaluable, while an Advanced manager doesn't count for much, they can be hired at any time.

Moreover, the Tang family behind Tang Xiaoyue from Hong Kong Island is still an important partner for The Venetian.

Otherwise, the casino wouldn't let an outsider enter the surveillance hall. This place can be said to be the core of the entire casino.

If one insists, they would undeniably risk offending Zhang Xian and Miss Tang.

Having worked in the industry for so long, Karen wouldn't make such low level mistakes.

Matters on the surface are best resolved on the surface.

If actions are taken behind the scenes, what if Ning Fan has a background? At that time, the scapegoat would undoubtedly be Carmen.

He's just an Advanced employee; it's not worth escalating the situation and trapping himself in the risk.

"I ask you to accept this 50 million. As for the other 50 million, I'll report this matter to the board tomorrow, and I believe it shouldn't be a problem."

If Ning Fan's ability indeed surpasses Zhang Xian, a hundred million US Dollar as a meeting gift, in exchange for a special consultant, isn't a loss for the casino.

Furthermore, with Zhang Xian and Tang Xiaoyue by his side, Karen can provide a perfect explanation to the board.

"What do you think of this offer?"

As long as Ning Fan nods, he can rest easy with a billion in hand.

If Ning Fan disagrees, Karen can only invite higher-ups, handing the matter over to the superiors to handle, as it's the only way to keep the risk at a minimum.

"Really troublesome, you seem to be speaking the truth."

Seeing Ning Fan's troubled look, Tang Xiaoyue was startled.

The implication of this sentence was indeed quite terrifying.

At face value, Ning Fan seemed capable of understanding people's hearts.

But the hidden meaning obviously showed confidence, ignoring The Venetian, even hoping the other party would make a move.

"What background does this man have?"

Tang Xiaoyue racked her brains but couldn't think of a force like this within the gambling world.

The background behind any of the world's major casinos is never simple.
