The young and successful Cheng Zhu came across a question online: If you were given a chance to go back in time and start over, would you take it?
As someone known in his circle for being the...
Chapter 11 The Second Pot of Gold
(ps: I found a mistake. Germany scored in the extra time. The score should be 0:0 before the game, because the extra time goal does not count. The previous article has been modified.)
…
All of a sudden, all eyes in the bar were focused on Cheng Zhu.
After all, the guests who have stayed until now must be people who watch the game, and the proportion of people who buy the games is extremely high.
Many people began to talk about it.
"She looks very young, maybe she's still a student."
"Damn, the youngsters nowadays are so awesome that they dare to buy 0:0 for 12,000 yuan!"
"What a tough guy! I don't even dare to bet 12,000 on a single win, but he dares to bet 12,000 on a [Bonus]!"
"I remember the odds were about seven times, I guess. I'm going to make a fortune!"
"Is your luck that good?!"
It’s okay for those who also won money, but those who lost money tonight were so envious that they wanted to go crazy after hearing Shen Minglang’s words.
The guest who had urged Shen Minglang to give everyone a discount on drinks was very familiar with him. He couldn't help but ask, "How many scores did your cousin buy? I want to learn from him and study his strategy for buying scores."
Shen Minglang said in a cocky tone, "Of course I bought 0:0! I only bought one score and I won. Isn't that awesome?"
This shocked the drinkers around even more.
For a moment, they didn't know whether this student was fearless or just had really good luck.
Instead of buying a few more scores to share the risk, I actually bought a draw in the regular season, with a score of 0:0, but we won anyway!
There’s nothing much to say, winning money is awesome!
And you have to know that although Shen Minglang also won money, he bet a full 50,000.
However, the money he earned today was not as much as Cheng Zhulai!
Throughout the bar, many people bet not only on winning or losing, but also on [handicap], [corner kick], [over/under], [number of cards], etc.
Here, some odds are higher than winning or losing, and some odds are lower than directly betting on which team will win.
It can be said that judging from the profits alone, Cheng Zhu is definitely one of the guests who won the most today.
Shen Minglang couldn't help but said, "I would have followed your lead and bet 0:0."
After saying that, he glanced at Jiang Wanzhou and said, "You are lucky, you followed your cousin and bet 2,000 yuan."
However, as soon as Shen Minglang finished speaking, he noticed that Jiang Wanzhou's expression was a little complicated.
"Are you sick? You're not happy even though you won money?" He was too lazy to pay attention to his cousin. When someone came to toast him, he happily clinked glasses with them.
As soon as Shen Minglang left, Jiang Wanzhou stared at Cheng Zhu.
Cheng Zhu said directly: "I know what you want to ask. I didn't bet 12,000 yuan alone. Several people asked me to bet together. I only bet 800 yuan."
He started to make up stories in a serious manner, and at the end he did not forget to blackmail: "I didn't win much with my 800 yuan capital, and you, a big shot, bet 2,000 yuan. Mr. Jiang has to pay for all the consumption tonight!"
To be honest, Cheng Zhu is not stingy or likes to take advantage of others, he is just trying to increase his credibility.
Although Jiang Wanzhou was really easy to deceive, he was a good brother after all. He felt that he had to lie sincerely and not carelessly to show his respect for him.
Otherwise it would seem like you are looking down on him.
After receiving Cheng Zhu's "respect", Jiang Wanzhou's face really improved, and he began to say generously: "I can give you half of the winnings!"
"Tsk, the domineering president wants to throw money at me, right?" Cheng Zhu expressed disdain, and added: "You haven't finished the wine you just drank, hurry up! We're leaving soon!"
"My eyes are the ruler! No, you raise fish?"
Everyone was having a great time on this side, but Li Rui was having a little teenage breakdown.
Cheng Zhu won a lot of money, and he felt worse than death!
It would be fine if he lost 12,000 yuan, but he could force a smile and pretend that he didn't care about a mere 10,000 yuan, and show off his financial strength in front of Li Xinyue.
In front of the girl I like, I acted very cool. To round it off, it’s not a loss.
But after deducting the original investment, her ex-boyfriend won 78,000 in one night!
And me? What about me?
I lost 500 yuan with her...
Although it's only 500 yuan, I will help her pay for it out of kindness.
But this psychological gap cannot be made up.
"Besides, Cheng Zhu is now richer than me, and his wallet is fatter than mine."
Li Rui couldn't even match his most confident point.
If Cheng Zhu knew his little mentality, he would probably be speechless and say, "What level are you? You treat me as an imaginary enemy all day long."
He didn't even want to show off in front of Li Xinyue.
To be exact, he gets a headache whenever he sees Li Xinyue.
"I just realized that she was wearing the pair of matching shoes I bought for her."
"My capital was reduced because of her! The odds are 7.5 times."
"Is that a pair of shoes that cost over a thousand dollars? That's a walking ten thousand dollars!"
At this moment, a group of people left the bar, but there were still a group of customers still talking about football.
Some people feel sorry for the money, some people feel sorry for Messi who missed the championship.
But Cheng Zhu is very clear that Messi will be able to lift the trophy he has always dreamed of in the 22nd World Cup.
He drank the cocktail in the glass, looked at the empty glass, and thought to himself: "I now have 90,000 yuan. What should I do next?"
The next moment, a preliminary plan came into his mind.
He decided to use one of his old professions to earn his second pot of gold in this life.
"There is a track in e-commerce, and the prospects are getting better every year."
"Don't say it's only 2014. Even if it's 2023, selling that thing is still a very good choice."
"This is it." Cheng Zhu looked at the empty wine glass and made a decision in his heart.
"Ninety thousand yuan is enough."
…
…
Hidden in the wine, Chen Rongrong said sadly: "Alas, Yueyue, we each lost 500."
This simple sentence made Li Rui, who was in pain and torment, raise his head immediately.
He looked at Li Xinyue, forced a smile and said, "Xinyue, Chen Rongrong, my brother just sent me a message saying that his purchase of the ball was stuck and he didn't buy your two orders. I'll transfer the money to you later."
"Ah! Really?" Chen Rongrong was instantly surprised.
But she still picked up her phone and posted a circle of friends. After a fixed group was blocked, this circle of friends also blocked Li Xinyue and Li Rui. The content was:
"Wow, wow, I lost 500 bucks in the World Cup final, please comfort me."
Li Xinyue just nodded, but her eyes still drifted towards Cheng Zhu from time to time.
She didn't care about winning or losing 500 yuan, she was still shocked that Cheng Zhu won a lot of money.
Li Rui saw all this and felt heartbroken.
However, Cheng Zhu never looked over here from beginning to end.
"Yueyue, why don't we go?" Chen Rongrong suggested while chatting on her phone.
"I want to sit for a while longer." Li Xinyue said.
Li Rui had no objection to this, he was happy with it and focused on providing companionship.
But at this moment, Cheng Zhu and Jiang Wanzhou stood up.
The two of them said hello to Shen Minglang and said they were leaving first.
The bartender Ye Zi also waved goodbye to the two of them, and took out his mobile phone to add Cheng Zhu on WeChat.
Cheng Zhu did not refuse because of her big breasts.
Li Xinyue saw Cheng Zhu and Jiang Wanzhou walking out the door, and immediately stood up and said, "Let's go, let's go too."
Chen Rongrong, who was busy flirting, looked up in confusion. Li Rui, who noticed something, felt like his heart was stabbed by a knife again.
For some reason, Cheng Zhu's words to him began to emerge in his mind: "The warm man is behind the dog."
The three of them stood up and Li Rui went to pay.
He was still stubborn and wanted to finish his original plan. When the waiter asked him, "Do you have a membership card for the store?", he pretended to be calm and experienced and said, "Yes, I'll charge you."
When he paid the bill and turned around, he found that Li Xinyue and Chen Rongrong were not standing behind him at all, but had already gone outside the bar.
In the hot summer, I didn’t even spend more time in the store enjoying the air conditioning.
Li Rui walked out in a daze, and saw Li Xinyue still looking around for something.
Chen Rongrong suddenly said, "Hey, Yueyue, why are you crying?"
…
…
On the other side, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class gets on.
The bar manager was helping to drive and acting as a designated driver. This was Shen Minglang's order.
Jiang Wanzhou sat in the passenger seat and turned to Cheng Zhu and said, "Should we go somewhere to travel for a few days in the next few days?"
"Forget about traveling, but I plan to go somewhere and investigate the market." Cheng Zhu said.
"Tsk, investigating the market? Your word is quite strong." Jiang Wanzhou said.
"Don't worry, I won't take you with me. It's inconvenient." Cheng Zhu said.
"Why? What's the inconvenience? Could it be that... you want to make peace with Li Xinyue?" Jiang Wanzhou stared at him as if he was staring at a bastard.
"Alright, alright, let's not mention the characters that have already finished filming." Cheng Zhu said.
——Life is a big stage, don’t come back once you leave.
"Then why is it inconvenient to take me with you?" Jiang Wanzhou asked.
"You have too much yin energy. That place is not suitable for you." Cheng Zhu raised his eyebrows and said very seriously.
