Chapter 994: God of Mahjong?
After Zhang Runhao finished speaking, he looked at Qin Tian and couldn't help but say, "Master, how is it that Shangguan Yunfei is involved with the matters at No. 1 Clubhouse? The Shangguan Family in Beijing is not someone many dare to provoke..."
"But it just so happens that the Shangguan Family and I are enemies. Moreover, it's the kind of enmity that can't be erased."
Qin Tian replied with a smile.
Hearing this, Murong Fei felt inexplicably moved. Seeing Qin Tian taking this matter upon himself, she fixed her gaze on him and pursed her lips.
On the other hand, Zhang Runhao rubbed his head and frowned, saying, "In that case, an enemy of my master is also an enemy of mine. Master, tell me, how do we retaliate against this Shangguan Yunfei? I'm with you!"
"Don't get involved in dealing with the Shangguan Family, since you represent the Zhang Family. If the Shangguan Family really targets you, it might put your entire family in jeopardy..."
"I'm not afraid!"
"It's not about being afraid or not, it's about avoidance."
Qin Tian waved his hand, signaling Zhang Runhao not to persist, and said, "How about this, I'll handle the Shangguan Family matters. For anything outside of that, can you assist me?"
"Well... alright, whatever you want me to do, I'll do it," Zhang Runhao said resolutely.
"Thank you, Runhao."
Hearing Zhang Runhao's words, Murong Fei also expressed her gratitude.
Seeing the beautiful lady teacher thank him, Zhang Runhao embarrassedly scratched his head and said, "Teacher, I'll be following the master from now on, no need to thank me."
...
At that moment, in the room at No. 1 Clubhouse, Qin Tian and Zhang Runhao started planning their counterattack.
First, the two journalists currently under Zhang Runhao's control would be intimidated by Zhang Runhao and his men, so those two guys wouldn't dare to do anything.
After all, these two journalists only came to cause trouble because they were paid, and given the choice between money and life, they're not idiots.
Secondly, the most important thing is to stop the Beijing Daily from publishing an article about No. 1 Clubhouse; otherwise, the situation could blow up!
"Master, fortunately, the head of the Beijing Daily is a friend of my dad's, that Uncle Sun is in his fifties, and I've met him a few times. I'll negotiate with him,"
Zhang Runhao said regarding this matter.
Qin Tian asked, "Do you have confidence?"
Hearing this, Zhang Runhao scratched his head and said, "Confidence... that's hard to say. Let me put it this way, my Uncle Sun has a peculiar personality. If you make him happy, everything's negotiable; if you upset him, even if a friend asks for a favor, he won't comply."
Initially, Qin Tian and Murong Fei felt reassured hearing Zhang Runhao would personally handle it.
But now, hearing Zhang Runhao's words, Murong Fei started to worry again.
"Why don't I go with you? We'll play it by ear."
Qin Tian thought for a moment and then asked Zhang Runhao, "How do you make Uncle Sun happy?"
"That's simple and not simple. Uncle Sun is a mahjong enthusiast, vice president of the Mahjong Association, and he's pretty skilled. So if we play mahjong with him and win, there shouldn't be a problem."
Zhang Runhao said awkwardly, glancing at Qin Tian, "But if we lose, then asking him to withdraw the unfavourable article in the Beijing Daily about No. 1 Clubhouse won't be feasible, and we'd have to think of another plan."
"Oh, play mahjong? Interesting... I'm good at that."
Hearing Zhang Runhao's words, Qin Tian smiled, "When it comes to gambling, I have some experience. I think we should give it a try."
"But Master, Sun Yuncai is a mahjong expert, known as the 'Mahjong God' in the circle. Aren't we just novices who might not stand a chance against him..."
Zhang Runhao was quite worried about playing mahjong since he didn't usually play. "My dad gets along well with him and spends time playing mahjong, but he often says that while playing for fun is fine, trying to win his money is just asking for humiliation."
However, after hearing what Zhang Runhao said, Qin Tian chuckled and said, "You might be a novice in mahjong, but I didn't say I am. Let's go. If solving this through mahjong is possible, that would be ideal. If not, we'll think of other ways. There's nothing to lose, so why not try?"
Seeing Qin Tian's determined attitude, Zhang Runhao had no choice but to nod and say, "Alright, I'll call Sun Yuncai right away to set it up. I can't guarantee anything else, but if I invite him for mahjong, given that he knows me, we're sure to arrange it."
After saying that, Zhang Runhao took out his phone and called Sun Yuncai.
As expected, Zhang Runhao successfully arranged the meeting with Sun Yuncai.
"Master, 2:30 PM at Yuncai Mahjong Club, how about it?" Zhang Runhao said after hanging up.
Qin Tian nodded, "No problem."
However, Murong Fei was somewhat doubtful, "Qin Tian, I've never seen you play mahjong, are you sure?"
Qin Tian laughed loudly, "There's nothing I can't do."
In fact, Qin Tian hadn't played mahjong in the past two years.
But back when he was with Dragon Soul, he had gone undercover multiple times and played thousands of games, winning money while completing his missions, killing two birds with one stone.
That afternoon, Qin Tian and Zhang Runhao bought a little gift and headed straight for Yuncai Mahjong Club.
This mahjong club was opened by Sun Yuncai, high-end and clearly showing that Sun Yuncai genuinely liked playing mahjong and appreciated calligraphy, with his inscriptions everywhere in the club.
"Wow, this Director Sun sure has many interests."
Qin Tian couldn't help but marvel.
Zhang Runhao chuckled and said, "It's not just that. Master, a few years ago, Director Sun married a wife, now 22 years old! And he's over fifty years old... his daughter is older than his current wife."
"Impressive, impressive, a true winner in life."
Hearing what Zhang Runhao said, Qin Tian immediately gave a thumbs-up.
The two waited in the lounge for a while, and soon, Sun Yuncai, dressed in a white jacket with all white hair, emerged from the inner room with two middle-aged men.
"Runhao, is this friend you mentioned who wants to play mahjong with me?"
Seeing Qin Tian, Sun Yuncai smiled, "I knew it, you don't play mahjong yourself, but invite me for a game. So, how's your friend's mahjong skills?"
