  Chapter 154 Bankrupt Prodigal

  After running alone for more than half an hour, Zhou Anan, who had burned a few hundred calories and sweated a little, returned to the room and found that Meimei hadn't woken up yet.

   After taking a shower, Zhou Anan looked at the sleeping beauty, went to the side and ordered room service, and asked the waiter to bring the breakfast.

   Of course, this is a free service for the Senior Suite.

  As for the double room of 80 yuan a night for others, if you have a breakfast coupon, it is already a discount for group buying.

"morning."

  Woke up lured by the smell of food, Shi Mingxia looked at the boy who was having breakfast not far away, and greeted him with a smile.

   "Do you want to eat before going to bed?"

   Walking over to hug Meimei's body, Zhou Anan asked with a smile.

  I really had a lot of fun last night, but he couldn't take it anymore.

   "I'm getting up too."

  Looking at the time when it was almost half past nine, Shi Mingxia held down the mischievous hand in front of him, kissed the boy's face, and went to the bathroom in his nightgown.

   After a sweet breakfast, according to the itinerary planned earlier, Zhou Anan first took everyone to visit Guodong, and found a self-service barbecue stall at the foot of the mountain for lunch.

  15 yuan per person, unlimited food, drinks are extra.

  However, Zhou Anan obviously overestimated the girl's hands-on ability.

   "I can't bake here, who can help me."

   "That's how it was done, An An, thanks."

  A small problem that the vent was not open, Zhou Anan solved it easily.

   "An An, why am I not familiar with this place?"

   "An'an, how do you roast the corn?"

   "An'an, how do you bake this without burning?"

  …

  After showing off his grilling skills, Zhou Anan realized that he was at the end of his game, and shouted all over the screen.

  The group of boys who only cared about eating, their hands-on ability is simply useless.

  There is no other way, those who can do more work.

  Finally, Zhou An'an could only combine two grills and became a free barbecue stall master.

  Everyone's request was met, but Zhou An'an didn't want to continue, not even interested in eating.

  When he was grilling, he couldn't free his hands, and they were all brought to his mouth by Meimei.

  The dog food in one place made the surrounding students despise it.

  Satisfied with food and drink, when the bus returned to Lucheng in the afternoon, Zhou Anan got off the bus at his hometown Lizhou.

   It wasn't that he didn't want to continue spending the holidays with Meimei, but that he had received a call and had to deal with it.

"How much?"

  Seeing his cousin, Zhou Anan frowned and looked at the slovenly young man, without the vigor of a young man at all.

   During the Chinese New Year, although his cousin is not very talkative, he is still quite energetic.

   If you really don't want to die, you won't die.

   "One thousand and five."

  Listening to his cousin's calm tone, Zhou Shun, who hadn't been afraid of his cousin since he was a child, trembled in his heart, lowered his head and said a number.

   "Which arcade?"

   Frowning, Zhou Anan's voice became a little low.

   "The game hall on Jiefang Street."

  He lowered his head, and Zhou Shun's voice was a little soft.

  For the first time, he felt a strange majesty in front of this cousin.

   "Your parents don't know yet, do they?"

"do not know."

   "How much did you lose before?"

   "A thousand dollars."

   "All? Honestly."

   "One thousand and sixteen."

  Looking at his cousin's height of 1.7 meters and above, his whole body was a little bent, which made Zhou An'an have an urge to hate iron but not steel.

  Although the relationship between him and this cousin has never been very good, they are a family anyway, and Zhou Anan can't ignore the other party becoming like this.

   Two or three thousand yuan is a small matter for him.

   It's just that the problems derived from it are likely to destroy this cousin.

   "I will help you pay back the money, take me to have a look."

   After saying a word that was not consoling, Zhou Anan picked up his mobile phone, walked aside and dialed the number of his elementary school classmates.

   After chatting for a few words, Zhou Anan took his cousin to Jiefang Street by taxi.

   Jiefang Street, which will be completely demolished in a few years, has a history of decades. It is old, but it is still a bustling street.

  In a small downhill alley, there is a large game room.

   Walking into the mottled iron gate, there was a burst of noise. The hall of more than 500 square meters was filled with various game machines. There were one or two teenagers sitting in front of almost every machine, and there were many girls among them.

   In front of several Panda machines, a large group of people surrounded them, and there was an exclamation from time to time, and there were bursts of crashing sounds of copper plates.

   "What game are you playing?"

  Looking at his cousin whose eyes brightened, Zhou Anan asked coldly.

   It is simply impossible to have this appearance only once.

"inside."

   While talking, Zhou Shun led his cousin through a small door familiarly, and entered a room with a thick curtain hanging at the door.

As soon as he entered the room, Zhou Anan saw two rows of large-scale online game consoles. A group of young people in their twenties were sitting in front of the machines, including middle-aged people in their thirties and forties. There are many more people.

   From time to time, these people also cheered and lamented.

"boss."

  Seeing the middle-aged man who was scoring the perfect score for a punter, Zhou Shun shouted in a low voice.

   "Ah Shun is here."

  Glanced at the young man in front of him. Although the man next to him was a little shorter, the middle-aged boss knew that the man was the elder of this young man.

  You can tell where the age is at a glance.

   "Boss, this is the money owed by Zhou Shun."

   Taking out 1,500 from the wallet, Zhou Anan handed it to the other party.

  Willing to bet and admit defeat, since Zhou Shun lost the money here, he cannot be owed.

"it is good."

   After taking the money and counting it, the middle-aged man nodded without saying anything.

  In this line of business, there are many parents making trouble, and the middle-aged man knows how to deal with it.

  Such a gentle parent, can be regarded as less things.

   "Give me a thousand."

   Without taking his cousin away immediately, Zhou Anan found a bettor who bet a few dollars, handed over 200 dollars and asked the other party for a position with a total betting amount of only a few dozen dollars, and then asked the boss to score.

"elder brother."

  Seeing that his cousin was about to sit down and play, Zhou Shun quickly grabbed him.

  Although he is obsessed with this game, it doesn't mean he doesn't know the harm. He can't harm his cousin because of himself, otherwise the uncle will have to teach him a lesson.

  Furthermore, it’s okay to wait a while, and I have to give that person 200 yuan to buy a position.

   "Why, you can play, but I can't."

   After saying something with a smile, Zhou Anan gave the money to the boss.

In his previous life, Zhou Anan, who was still working as a temporary worker in the unit, was addicted to this large panda machine for a while, and even overdrawn 17,000 yuan from his credit card. Stopped the fallen footsteps.

  Occasionally when I think back, I feel a little scared.

  Sometimes, reason simply cannot overcome the strong desire to win.

  Think about how many billionaires in Lizhou will go bankrupt overnight in a few years.

  He knew that words alone could not dissuade his cousin at all.

  1,600 yuan must be all the money my cousin saved in the New Year's red envelope, and he may even have borrowed some from a friend.

  Adding the 1,500 yuan owed, the total is 3,100 yuan, which is definitely a lot of money for a sixteen-year-old boy without any job.

  You know, the salary of civil servants today is only a little over two thousand a month, and the uncle who drives a tractor to transport stones is only two or three hundred a day. That’s because his father is a shareholder of the quarry.

  But what my uncle has to take into account is the expenses of a family of three, and there is not much money left.

   As for the 3,100 yuan, it took Zhou Shun only three hours to lose.

  If he hadn't called him in time and asked him to quietly help pay off the debt, Zhou An'an couldn't even imagine what would happen next.

   It’s no wonder that during the Chinese New Year, I heard my mother chanting that my cousin’s salary of 80 yuan a day didn’t move my cousin, and I couldn’t see anyone who went fishing for three days and posted on the net for two days.

   Guessing that at that time, my cousin became obsessed with this.

   Small fights turned into winning or losing hundreds of dollars in a few seconds, and finally got stuck in the mud and went bankrupt.

  There are many such bridges in reality.

   Fortunately, it was discovered early now. If some people owe hundreds of thousands, my uncle's family, including theirs, will have no peace.

  No way, what's the matter with my uncle's family, Zhou An's father, who has always been like a father, will definitely take it down, no matter how talkative his mother is, she won't agree.

  Thinking of many future possibilities in his mind, Zhou Anan suppressed more than half of the 1,000 yuan score in one move, so that the cousin next to him had no chance to stop him.
