Chapter 997: What Happened to Losing Money?
When the game time ended, after everyone tallied up, Qin Tian was the only winner among the four, with a total winning of more than 2,300 yuan!
The two young men lost about five hundred in total.
But Sun Yuncai was a bit worse off; he alone lost over 1,800!
A ten yuan game and he lost over 1,800, which is hard to accept for an average person.
Not to mention, Sun Yuncai also claims to be the Mahjong God, losing so much is just a blatant slap in the face! A hard slap in the face!
After the two young men expressed their admiration to Qin Tian, they waited for their friends who were playing mahjong with Sun Yuncai's other two friends. Once their companions came out, the four of them left.
Sun Yuncai's two mahjong friends had won money, cheerfully counting their cash as they came out, seeing Sun Yuncai slumped by the mahjong table. They didn't really notice Sun Yuncai's expression but went straight up to congratulate him.
"Old Sun, how was it? Did you take care of that arrogant young man? Haha, I told you, when the Mahjong God takes the field, everyone else must step down!"
"Exactly, exactly, haha, our old Sun's mahjong skills are certified nationwide. Now that you've won a million, you should treat us!"
The two mahjong friends giggled, looked at each other, and then simultaneously turned to look at Sun Yuncai.
It was only then, with smiles on their faces, that they realized Sun Yuncai's expression didn't look quite right!
If he won money, why would Sun Yuncai have a bitter face? Could it be...
No way!
Definitely not!
This is Sun Yuncai's turf, and it's the "Blood Battle" mahjong he's most familiar with. No matter how you play it, Sun Yuncai couldn't possibly lose!
These two elderly people started to panic a bit, seeing Sun Yuncai's blank expression and silence, they were baffled.
"Old Sun, what's going on? Say something!"
"Yeah, you won, and you're not happy? Unless... don't tell me you lost to this young man!"
As soon as he said this, Sun Yuncai lifted his head and gave him a slight glance.
Both of them, seeing Sun Yuncai remain silent, simultaneously turned their gaze towards Qin Tian and Zhang Runhao.
Qin Tian still had a confident and smiling expression on his face.
While Zhang Runhao's face bore embarrassed shock, as if he had just snapped out of a daze.
"Young man, what's going on?"
An elderly white-haired man finally spoke to Qin Tian with some respect, since he had seen that something he deemed impossible might indeed have happened after seeing Sun Yuncai's expression.
"Nothing's going on, the game just finished." Qin Tian replied.
The white-haired elderly man asked, "So... between you and President Sun, who won?"
"Oh, I was lucky this afternoon and barely won against President Sun." Qin Tian answered modestly.
This wasn't a mere narrow win, it could be called a clean sweep!
Qin Tian was giving Sun Yuncai face, and upon hearing this, Sun Yuncai looked at Qin Tian and felt a bit better.
"Then... your bet..." The white-haired elder turned his head to look at Sun Yuncai.
But Qin Tian laughed aloud and said, "I was lucky enough to win one million from President Sun. Haha, now the game's over, I'm waiting for President Sun to settle with me."
As soon as Qin Tian said this, the two elderly men and Sun Yuncai were left speechless.
Qin Tian was blatantly demanding the gambling debt!
But, this was indeed something Sun Yuncai lost, and he couldn't deny it...
The two elderly people looked towards Sun Yuncai, and seeing Sun Yuncai's face still dark and silent, they felt very awkward and could only bid him farewell and leave.
When only Sun Yuncai, Qin Tian, and Zhang Runhao were left in the mahjong room, Sun Yuncai finally couldn't hold it in and spoke.
"A million is a million, I, Sun Yuncai, am a man of my word. A loss is a loss. Qin Tian, this million, I accept my loss and am willing to pay you."
Sun Yuncai stood up from his seat and said, "However, I don't have that much money right now. Give me a month, I'll handle a property, and within a month, I'll pay off the debt in one go. What do you think?"
Sun Yuncai's face didn't look good, but he was, after all, a college man, so he spoke politely.
After Sun Yuncai finished speaking, Qin Tian didn't speak, but Zhang Runhao looked a bit awkward.
Weren't we supposed to lose money to Sun Yuncai? How did the master win a million from him just like that!
"President Sun, I haven't even asked for your money, why are you in such a hurry to deal with your property?"
Qin Tian finally spoke, grinning at Sun Yuncai.
Hearing this, Sun Yuncai was taken aback and looked at Qin Tian, "Qin Tian, what do you mean by that?"
"Haha, nothing special. President Sun, money is just an external thing, just a million, I, Qin Tian, don't care. President Sun, this time Zhang Runhao brought me here because I wanted to make friends with you, not to win your money."
"Oh? Make friends?"
Sun Yuncai wasn't sure what Qin Tian wanted, so his eyes slightly shifted, "You played cards with me all afternoon just to make friends? Haha, is there something you need from me?"
As the director of the Beijing Daily, Sun Yuncai had seen these kinds of things often.
"There's no such thing as visiting the temple for no reason," he thought, and he could certainly guess that Qin Tian must have something in mind.
"I do have something to discuss with you, but I should make it clear, I'm not here to ask for your help."
Qin Tian did not beat around the bush, and frankly told Sun Yuncai, "Your Beijing Daily published a false news story today, and I came here specifically to inform you, President Sun."
"Oh?" Sun Yuncai paused, "What article?"
"The issue with No. 1 Clubhouse."
Qin Tian pursed his lips, and then told Sun Yuncai about the No. 1 Clubhouse matter. Of course, he didn't say someone died at No. 1 Clubhouse, but focused on how the two reporters from Beijing Daily were instructed by someone to fabricate news to smear No. 1 Clubhouse.
Today, when Sun Yuncai reviewed the draft, he indeed saw a report in tomorrow's manuscript about someone dying at No. 1 Clubhouse.
After listening to Qin Tian's words, Sun Yuncai frowned, "How do I know you're telling the truth? My reporters have ethical standards and wouldn't behave recklessly."
"Haha, President Sun, you trust your subordinates too much," Qin Tian said, then turned to Zhang Runhao and said, "Runhao, why don't you just send someone to invite those two reporters over now?"
"Alright!"
Zhang Runhao, seeing Qin Tian's odd expression, naturally understood instantly. Qin Tian wanted him to send someone to grab the two reporters, and just like interrogating the Kyoto Daily reporters, make them spill everything before bringing them here!
