The Art of Pursuing: The Unyielding Ex-wife-Chapter 567: I Just Like Playing Mahjong with Rich People Like You

"Ru Jia, you’re so considerate. Let me and Yisen know once the interview time is set."

"Okay, I’ll let you both know now. Is Friday okay?" 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Qin Muni and Xu Yisen exchanged a glance, amusedly realizing that Zheng Rujia had probably assumed they’d agree to the interview even before she called.

Xu Yisen replied, "I’ll ask Secretary Tang about Friday’s schedule and then get back to you."

"Sure, no problem. Congratulations to both of you again. We’ll meet at the studio next time then."

"Okay."

After hanging up, Xu Yisen immediately sent a disconnection message to Tang Haoliang to inquire about his schedule for the next week.

Tang Haoliang emailed him the following week’s itinerary. After a brief glance, Yisen canceled some non-essential appointments and sent a text to Zheng Rujia, informing her that the interview could take place on Friday afternoon.

Sitting next to Xu Yisen, Qin Muni, bored, picked up her phone to scroll through her social media and unexpectedly saw Ji Nanqing, who was staying at the same hotel, playing Mahjong.

She quickly sent a message asking Ji Nanqing... short one player?

Soon, Qin Muni received a reply from Ji Nanqing... [Yes, at the hotel’s game room.]

[On my way.]

After responding to Ji Nanqing’s message, Qin Muni sprang up from the sofa.

Xu Yisen watched her excitedly leap off the couch, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "What’s up?"

"Let’s go play Mahjong at the hotel’s game room. Nanqing said they’re a player short." She said and briskly walked towards the room.

Watching her hurried departure, Xu Yisen was amused and perplexed, thinking how bored she must be to be so eager to play Mahjong.

Because the hotel was situated halfway up the mountain, and it had snowed almost the entire day yesterday, the road downhill was packed with snow. The snow plows had yet to clear the snow along the way, so hotel guests were virtually stranded.

The hotel game room, usually quiet, was bustling due to the snowy weather.

When Qin Muni and Xu Yisen arrived at the game room, they quickly saw Ji Nanqing playing Mahjong at a table.

Back in high school, Ji Nanqing’s Mahjong skills were so refined that Qin Muni would lose everything every time she played against him.

Even though he hadn’t played Mahjong for a while, his skills seemed as sharp as ever, casually playing and fluently explaining Mahjong techniques in English to Patrick sitting next to him.

Seeing Qin Muni and Xu Yisen arrive, Ji Nanqing and Patrick greeted them and said in English, "When this round is over, the lady opposite will leave to play cards. You can take her spot."

This round ended with Ji Nanqing winning on a self-draw. The lady opposite him settled up, then got up from the Mahjong table.

After the lady left, Qin Muni took her seat, while Xu Yisen sat beside her, watching her play Mahjong.

Also at the table were Aunt Chen and Uncle Dong, both experienced Mahjong players, quickly drawing and discarding tiles in a seamless flow. Compared to them, Qin Muni’s pace was noticeably slow, marking her as an obvious novice.

"Muni, I just love playing Mahjong with wealthy people like you."

Ji Nanqing’s teasing words subtly hinted at the fact that Qin Muni was terrible at the game.

After one round, Qin Muni hadn’t won a single hand and had already lost over twenty thousand. Within just two rounds, she and Xu Yisen had lost all their cash, and eventually, she had to transfer money via WeChat to the winners at the table.
