Chapter 1252: Where’s my change?
Early morning.
Casino’s counter.
Counter 5. The female staff looked at the money on her counter without saying a word.
“Change it.”
“But you…”
“What’s wrong?”
“No… you… this…”
“Is there any problem? Can you hurry up?”
Most guests had changed their chips because of the promotion at 4 am. Only a few people were exchanging chips at the counters. A few counter staff heard the commotion and looked. They were puzzled.
“What’s wrong, Xiao Liu?”
“Did you run out of small denomination chips? I have some.”
The female staff at counter 5 smiled wearily. “No.”
A female supervisor walked over. “What’s wrong? Why are you not exchanging the chips for the customer?” She thought the staff had received counterfeit notes, and she came over to handle it. “Is there any problem with the note? Is the machine rejecting it? Let me see.”
Dong Xuebing glanced at her. “Do I need to use counterfeit notes?”
Zhang Longjuan, Shen Xiaoyan, and Shen Xiaomei stood far away from Dong Xuebing as they felt it was too embarra.s.sing.
The supervisor looked at the staff.
The staff quickly replied. “That’s no problem with the money, but…”
“Then why are you not exchanging for the guest? What are you waiting for?” The supervisor walked closer.
The staff wiped her sweat and showed the money to her supervisor and other staff. “How am I going to exchange it?”
What do you mean by how are you going to exchange it?
Why are you hesitating if the money has no problem?
The supervisor was getting frustrated until she saw the money.
The other counter staff saw the money and almost fell off their chairs.
WTF?
What the h.e.l.l is this?
The staff cursed in their hearts.
The casino had been operating for slightly more than three months. Even though the s.h.i.+p sails once a week, the staff were experienced. They had previously worked in other casinos and met all sorts of people. But they almost fainted with they saw Dong Xuebing’s money.
USD…
HKD…
Coins…
RMB…
It’s a mixture of different currencies. This…
This guy is using three currencies to exchange for the smallest denomination chip.
The notes for each currency were crumpled, and a few RMB notes were torn. One HKD note had tape on it as it was torn into two pieces.
The supervisor understood why the counter five staff was not exchanging the chip for the guest. They could not accept these notes.
The supervisor looked at Dong Xuebing and hesitated. “Sir…”
“Huh?” Dong Xuebing replied. “Can you hurry? I am in a rush.”
The supervisor recognized Dong Xuebing. He had clashed with the casino’s person in charge earlier. She maintained a professional smile. “We cannot accept your money.”
“Why?”
The supervisor was speechless. Why are you asking the obvious?
“Is the money too little?” Dong Xuebing looked at her. “You did not state minimum requirement anywhere.”
“It’s like this.” The supervisor came up with an excuse. “We only accept USD and not other currencies.”
Dong Xuebing stared at the supervisor. “Oh, only USD is money, and our RMB and HKD are not? Are you discriminating against China? Are you all only serving only foreigners? Are the Chinese second-cla.s.s people?”
Dong Xuebing is good at arguing.
Those government leaders, let alone these casino staff, cannot win against Dong Xuebing in an argument.
Dong Xuebing continued. “What is your nationality? Huh?”
The majority of the people in the casino are Chinese. Dong Xuebing was loud and attracted many guests to look at them.
The supervisor’s face changed. “I… I am not belittling these currencies. This is our casino’s regulation.”
Dong Xuebing knocked on the counter. “But I feel you are belittling us. Why are you accepting USD and not RMB and HKD? Is USD more prestigious? You can convert the currency.”
“But your money…”
“What’s wrong with my money? Is it counterfeit?”
“No, but… but…”
“What is wrong with you all? Why are you exchanging the casino chip for me? You all still dare to claim to be the biggest gambling s.h.i.+p in Hong Kong?”
“I…”
“Shut up and give me my chip.”
The supervisor was speechless. She knew she was no match for this young man in an argument.
The other side of the casino.
Song Yuhu walked around the casino with the old man and his bodyguards. They greeted some guests and chatted with them. This was to retain their customers and let them return.
They heard a commotion behind them.
It was an argument.
Song Yuhu frowned and looked at the chips exchange counters. He saw the supervisor speaking to Dong Xuebing. “It’s him again.”
Senior Zhou saw it too. “What is going on?”
Song Yuhu said to Senior Zhou politely. “They lost their money and should be anxious. That guy claimed he would win over a hundred million from us before you came.”
“I am asking what is happening between you and that young man.” Senior Zhou looked at him.
Song Yuhu paused for a second and said. “We had a few conflicts a few days ago.”
Senior Zhou waved his walking stick. “I don’t care about your personal grudges with others. But don’t bring these troubles to our casino. It will affect our reputation.”
Song Yuhu replied. “I know.”
“Let’s go and take a look.” Senior Zhou walked over.
In front of the counter.
Dong Xuebing was still arguing with the supervisor and staff.
The supervisor saw the person in charge of the casino coming over. She walked over to greet them. “Senior Zhou, Mr. Song.”
Song Yuhu said, “What is the commotion about?”
The supervisor was speechless. “We are not arguing. It’s this guy who is unreasonable. He insists on exchanging for a chip with three types of currencies. USD, RMB, HKD, and…” She paused and said. “and coins.”
Coins?
They are using coins?
Many guests overheard them.
Those guests finally understood what the commotion was about, and they rolled their eyes.
Song Yuhu was also speechless.
What is the meaning of this? Are you trying to create trouble?
Everyone exchanges casino chips with thousands, hundred thousand, and a few million USD.
But you? You are using spare changes to exchange for chips. Are you not embarra.s.sed?
Senior Zhou was shocked at first and amused. “How much are they exchanging?”
The supervisor replied. “He is exchanging for a one-thousand USD chip.”
Song Yuhu looked at the crumpled notes on the counter and turned to Dong Xuebing. “We only accept USD here. Take your money and leave.”
Mr. Wei and Ms. Leng were around. They laughed.
A few casino guests laughed too.
Shen Xiaomei and Shen Xiaoyan were shy, and their faces turned red.
Dong Xuebing did not feel embarra.s.sed. “You must abide by the rules in a casino. You did not state that you are not accepting other currencies. I did not see it anywhere.” He points at the procedures of exchanging chips at the counter. “Now you are telling me I cannot use other currencies. This is looking down upon us!”
Song Yuhu was speechless. “Your money is…”
Senior Zhou said. “Let him exchange.”
“Senior Zhou.” Song Yuhu said.
Senior Zhou calmly replied. “I said let him exchange. Convert the currencies to USD.”
The supervisor nodded and said to the Counter Five staff. “Convert the currencies to USD.”
The female staff started checking the rates on her PC. Because there were three currencies, she took a long time. She showed Dong Xuebing her monitor. It was exactly 1,000.02 USD.”
The female staff took out a chip and placed it on the counter. “This is your chip. Please check, and we wish you good luck.”
Dong Xuebing took the chip but did not leave.
“Is there anything I can help?” The staff was puzzled.
Dong Xuebing’s reply almost caused everyone to vomit blood. “Where is my change?”
The female staff felt she was going crazy. It’s only two pennies. The people who can get onboard this s.h.i.+p will not even pick up two USD from the streets.
We had made an exemption to let you exchange for a chip, and you still want us to give you change?
The female staff is scared of him and wants him to leave quickly. She immediately gives him two pennies.
Song Yuhu and other staff were speechless by what Dong Xuebing did.
