Chapter 279: Fight the Landlord Card Counter

Over the next two days, Chen Yang visited the construction site each day to make a round, confirming the other party wasn't slacking off before he could fully relax.

Meanwhile, Liu Shijie re-signed a contract transfer agreement with his ex-wife's company, formally handing over the project to his new company in Qingshui City.

However, to ensure the project wouldn't run into problems again, Chen Yang still had Shen Anna resend personnel to oversee the project quality.

After everything was arranged, Chen Yang then followed Liu Shijie's car back to Qingshui City.

Upon arriving in Qingshui City, Liu Shijie went straight to the bank and transferred 500,000 to Chen Yang.

This operation left Chen Yang bewildered.

"Brother Jie, you said you had no money, didn't you?"

"I was just putting on an act for your employees to see," Liu Shijie explained. "You also know my ex-wife's company is right below your trading company. As long as the news of me borrowing money from your company reaches her ears, letting her know I'm not doing well either, she'll stop bothering me in the future."

Chen Yang never imagined he would go to such trouble just to get rid of his ex-wife, and he couldn't help teasing: "Brother Jie, you're divorced yet still scared of her. Aren't you henpecked?"

Liu Shijie gave a wry smile: "I'm mainly afraid she'll bring up the elders again. I don't know what poison my parents have been fed; she believes whatever she's told, but she just won't believe me."

Chen Yang said: "You're often out running around, while she stays home keeping the elderly company—being closer to them is perfectly normal."

Liu Shijie sighed: "Being a man is really tough—if you don't go out to make money, the elders complain you're idle at home; if you do go out to make money, they complain you only see work and don't care about family."

Chen Yang patted his shoulder and encouraged: "Don't worry, once you become the top real estate developer in Dongjiangsheng, these worries won't be worries anymore."

"Then I'll take your good words," Liu Shijie forced a smile, then saw Chen Yang back to his residence.

After taking a shower at home, Chen Yang habitually opened his computer.

Because he was delayed at the bank, the stock market had already closed. After Yexin and Qi Yunxiang consecutively shorted China Software for two days, market sentiment was very unstable, and the forum was full of curses.

Chen Yang didn't pay much attention to the forum's situation. Anyway, he was no longer in Xingcheng, so he didn't have to worry about emotionally unstable shareholders going to send blades.

Having nothing to do, Chen Yang logged back into his own game account.

After not playing for a few days, his account suddenly had a bunch of unread messages. Opening them, they were all from Lan Tian Baiyun, who had scammed him out of ten thousand game coins.

"You idiot, I was just joking with you—why aren't you online today? Are you mad?"

"You idiot, are you still mad? Over ten yuan worth of game coins, really?"

"You idiot, sorry—hurry up and go online, I'll return your game coins!"

"You idiot, you haven't been online for the whole weekend—where have you been?"

"You idiot, today's already Monday, time to go to work—why aren't you online yet?"

"You idiot, you wouldn't have deleted your account out of anger, would you?"

……

Chen Yang helplessly replied with a message.

"I've been busy lately, no time to play games. Also, you can call me by my new online name: Pig Farming King."

After sending the message, Chen Yang started playing Fight the Landlord again.

His luck was good today—he grabbed two bombs in the first round, making the landlord scream.

In the second round he seized the landlord position and directly gave the peasants a spring.

In the third round he didn't get the landlord, but he had two bombs again.

Just as he was playing smoothly, Lan Tian Baiyun suddenly sneaked into the room.

"Pig-farming idiot, you're finally online! I thought you'd died of anger……"

Chen Yang was a little annoyed by this new nickname. He immediately typed back: "You're the idiot, your whole family are idiots!"

Because he was only focused on typing, he didn't notice the game timed out, and directly a bomb blew up one of the landlord's twos.

Seeing this, Lan Tian Baiyun immediately complained: "You idiot, how did you throw out the bomb? Sure enough, poor skill is innate—hopeless……"

Chen Yang was utterly speechless, wishing he could drag Lan Tian Baiyun out of the computer and beat him up. Without her disturbing his card play, how could he possibly just toss out a bomb like that?

So after he played a card, he immediately typed a warning: "Shut your mouth, you idiot—keep jabbering and I'll kick you out of the room."

Lan Tian Baiyun showed no fear of Chen Yang's threat, continuing to mock: "Well, look at that—pig farmer, lousy skill but a big temper. If you've got the ability, kick me then!"

Chen Yang clicked her avatar, about to unleash a killing spree, only to discover he actually lacked the permission to kick anyone.

At that moment Lan Tian Baiyun spoke again: "Pig-farming idiot, what are you spacing out for? How did you toss out the bomb again?"

Chen Yang was speechless again. He suddenly felt the game's countdown was a bit nauseating—it declares timeout after just thirty seconds. Since time is so tight, why bother adding a chat system? This is just a trap!

This round, Chen Yang lost without a doubt, and his teammate even threw a brick at him.

Then Lan Tian Baiyun joined the match.

"Pig-farming idiot, I'll show you what skill is in a moment."

Chen Yang didn't reply. This time he wanted to focus on the cards and use his actions to slap her in the face.

However, over three consecutive rounds he was dealt nothing but trash hands—not even a bomb, let alone a lowly little imp.

Meanwhile, Lan Tian Baiyun seized the landlord position in three straight rounds, leaving Chen Yang with no temper at all.

"How about it? Idiot, are you convinced?"

"Fortune turns—you're just lucky right now. Once your luck runs out, I'll definitely win it back!"

"Hehe, I'll be watching with bated breath!"

After calming his emotions, Chen Yang resumed the fight.

Unfortunately, his luck still hadn't returned. After two hours of play, aside from winning a few rounds when teaming up with Lan Tian Baiyun as peasants, he lost the rest of the time.

What puzzled him most was that on several occasions his hand was clearly good, yet he still lost in the end.

"You idiot, how about it? Are you convinced?"

Chen Yang sighed, never expecting that while he dominated the stock market, in the Fight the Landlord game he'd be bullied by a woman to the point of having no temper.

Chen Yang still had confidence in his Fight the Landlord skills. Therefore, he felt this result was totally unreasonable!

"Lan Tian Baiyun, are you using a card counter?"

"A card counter? What's that?"

Stop pretending to be stupid. If you didn't have a card counter, your win rate couldn't possibly be this high!

Haha, you just can't stand losing, huh? Let me tell you a secret: this young lady's memory is super strong. Even if it weren't just fifty-four cards, even if you multiplied that several times, I could still remember every detail of each round's card play.

Heh, bragging without a draft. Anyway, I can't see your computer screen, so you can say whatever you want!

If you don't believe me, forget it. If you think it's unfair, I can make you a card‑counter program, and then we can have another match.

Fine, then I'll wait for your word!
