Yun Luo's answer left me with a trace of regret.
To be honest, I'd rather be on the first floor than in the mahjong room.
In just two days since I started, the mahjong room on the third floor had already seen cheaters and gamblers appear one after another.
It was clear that the third floor was a very unstable and troublesome place.
Stationing myself on the third floor permanently would not only carry a high hidden risk but also hinder my subsequent actions.
In the coming period, Han Jinlun, the human pile driver, would likely be making frequent appearances and spending money on the first floor.
Without me keeping an eye on him, relying solely on the taciturn Cheng Minglang, I truly feared that one day this guy might lose control and commit some unspeakable beastly act in the private room.
And if things blew up and became unmanageable, the most likely outcome would be him being kicked out.
If that happened, all my previous investment in Han Jinlun would undoubtedly go down the drain.
But now that Yun Luo had spoken, trying to get her to reassign me, apart from the fact that my intentions would be too obvious, Yun Luo would most likely think of me as someone who bit the hand that fed them and didn't know what was good for them.
Thus, after a moment of thought, I could only thank her, take the withdrawal slip personally signed and stamped by Yun Luo, and retreat from the office…
And so, I began my role as a waiter in the mahjong room of the Yun Jin Club on the third floor.
For some reason, on the second day after I was officially transferred to the third floor, Xu Peiyu also transferred over to work with me.
And we worked together for a whole month.
It seemed that Xu Peiyu, just like me, had proactively applied to Yun Luo for a transfer to a fixed post.
I just didn't know if her purpose in applying for the transfer was to conveniently come play cards after work, or if she had other plans.
During this time, through Xu Peiyu and Han Jinlun, I managed to get a clearer picture of the Yun Jin Club.
First, let's talk about the news I heard from Xu Peiyu…
The owner behind the Yun Jin Club, Yun Jin, had basically retreated behind the scenes.
Now, the entire club was managed by her goddaughter, Yun Luo.
While it was normal for a child to inherit their parents' business, any industry that grew strong and prosperous would inevitably face power struggles.
Take the incident that happened on the third floor earlier, for example. Why did Jiang Luwei, despite holding a high position, still try to skim as much extra income as possible?
It was because after Yun Luo took over, she significantly reduced the positions and powers of several of their managers!
When Yun Jin was managing the club, Jiang Luwei and others were all managers with great authority on their respective floors. But as soon as Yun Luo took charge, she demoted them all to supervisors.
She was the only one who held the title of manager.
Although their salaries and benefits weren't reduced, anyone with a bit of sense would know that this was Yun Luo's move to consolidate her power.
This kind of "new broom sweeps clean" situation directly led to some people harboring resentment.
And Jiang Luwei was undoubtedly one of those who harbored resentment.
It was rumored that the previous mahjong machine cheating incident was just one of many small actions Jiang Luwei had taken behind Yun Luo's back.
There were rumors that Jiang Luwei had openly partnered with cheaters outside, providing them with venues and related conveniences while reaping substantial rewards for himself.
The incident this time was a result of Jiang Luwei's inflated ego, developed over time from the constant stimulation of high returns.
Therefore, an incident was inevitable.
After Jiang Luwei's downfall, fearing that the entire third floor would descend into chaos, Yun Luo transferred Xu Peiyu to the third floor to act as her eyes and ears.
Now, let's talk about the results of Han Jinlun, the human pile driver, spending a month with the female hostesses.
Of course, I wasn't wealthy enough to pay for Han Jinlun to indulge himself for an entire month.
Basically, every two to three days, I would have Han Jinlun bring Cheng Minglang over to spend money.
Except for the first extravagant expenditure, the amounts for subsequent spending were controlled at around ten thousand yuan each time.
Including the fifty thousand yuan bonus for catching the mole, I personally spent about eighty thousand yuan.
The eighty thousand yuan spent on Han Jinlun yielded extremely important intelligence.
Yun Jin visited the club almost every month.
Although the specific reason was unknown, according to the female hostesses, Yun Jin always stayed for a long time whenever she visited, usually half a day.
In addition, Yun Jin seemed to operate other businesses outside, including a casino called "Rui Chi."
This information was heard by Han Jinlun from a hostess named Amy.
However, according to Amy, the Rui Chi casino was apparently not located in Xing Jia, but in Wen Zhou.
As soon as this piece of news came out, the somewhat hazy thoughts in my mind immediately became clear.
I decided that when Yun Jin came to inspect the club, I would first try to find an opportunity to contact her, even if it was an indirect contact.
At the very least, I could try to subtly inquire about what kind of woman Yun Jin was, and then investigate the Rui Chi casino.
After all, to know oneself and the enemy is to win a hundred battles.
As I was secretly pondering when Yun Jin would come to inspect the club, as the month had passed…
A sudden opportunity actually allowed me to make contact with Yun Jin ahead of schedule!
…
A weekend a month later.
After the peak of summer ended, the golden autumn season, symbolizing harvest, arrived.
For the past month, my daily work in the third-floor mahjong room involved going back and forth between various private rooms, providing guests with tea, water, cigarettes, and late-night snacks.
I must say, before I got involved with clubs, I thought casinos were the most popular places for gamblers, and there was no other place.
But now I realized I was wrong.
Compared to casinos, clubs were also very popular.
Besides absolute privacy, people who gambled at clubs probably felt that clubs were a fairer venue than casinos.
After all, clubs were truly only responsible for providing the venue and taking a cut.
At the Yun Jin Club, as long as they weren't playing mahjong, guests could even bring their own playing cards or other gambling tools to the table.
But where there are advantages, there must be disadvantages.
I don't know if it was because Jiang Luwei had brought cheaters before, exposing this large money pit that was the Yun Jin Club, or if those people had already heard about it.
In any case, over the past month, among the people I served, I encountered at least four cheaters disguised as various identities.
Although their methods were not sophisticated, and since the club did not have any hidden lights, and it primarily consisted of individual private rooms, no one could detect their presence except for me.
