Casinos in Macau operate 24 hours a day and never close their doors. Once a junket agent attaches themselves to a guest, they will treat them to food, drinks, and entertainment until the guest has had their fill and prepares to leave, at which point the agent will see them off with the utmost courtesy and respect. Naturally, regardless of whether the guest wins or loses, the agent is entitled to their commission, so this fawning behavior is only to be expected.
Chen Jinbao, the junket agent specifically hand-picked by Chen Rou yesterday, guessed around the time she would be waking up and called straight into her hotel room. He didn’t mention anything about gambling, only asking if Chen Rou would like to visit the Macau Water World. There was a water park that had recently opened in Macau, featuring water slides that were quite rare for that era, as well as a Chinese-style roller coaster—though, of course, these were all children’s versions, suitable for families to enjoy together. Chen Jinbao had specifically invited Madam Nie to visit, but his hospitality wasn't aimed at her; it was for Xiao Ayuan. As a junket agent, he understood one truth well: it is better to please a child than an adult.
However, playing was merely the process. In Macau, gambling is the pillar industry and the ultimate goal. So, after outlining the day’s plans, Chen Jinbao added with a smile, "Sister Chen, shall we arrange for another game tonight?"
