Chapter 95

In the past two days, Ye Tianhui introduced Lin Jianquan to Mr. Ye, and Mr. Ye also took Lin Jianquan into the upper-class political, business and horse racing social circles.

Although Lin Jianquan is handsome and taciturn, he gives people a special sense of calmness, which makes him very popular.

It happened that the Jockey Club was going to shoot a promotional video for Hong Kong horse racing this year, so it was decided that Lin Jianquan would shoot it. After the promotional video was shot, it would become the symbol of Hong Kong horse racing. Soon, the streets and alleys were filled with the heroic figure of Lin Jianquan riding a horse, just like Ke Zhiming in the past.

This kind of filming is of course voluntary, but as a result, major sports or horse racing brands have successively approached the Ye family horse racing company, wanting to find Lin Jianquan to shoot commercials, and the price they offered is quite high.

This is naturally a big deal, but Ye Tianhui decided to give up after considering it.

At this stage, the main thing is to let Lin Jianquan achieve results, and she doesn't want to use this to make money too early.

If necessary, at least wait until this season is over, and then he can endorse a few brands. The last two magazines can also be regarded as an improvement in Lin Jianquan's image.

Ye Tianhui has been busy with Lin Jianquan these days, and Gu Shizhang has some complaints, and his words are somewhat sour.

Ye Tianhui found it somewhat funny, and she comforted him. Gu Shizhang finally stopped. However, he is putting more energy on the racecourse. If he has to accompany him from time to time, it is almost like he wants to show it to outsiders. Seeing this, Ye Tianhui just let him go.

At this time, the racecourse was still in full swing.

At this time, Chen Zongwan's Miguang was facing Ke Zhiming's Longhua Jiaren.

Both the jockey and the horse were the hottest horses that the horse fans were crazy about, so this race was naturally the focus of everyone's attention. Reporters from major media, including foreign media, came to pay attention and interview.

Under such heavy pressure, Chen Zongwan faced Ke Zhiming, but was ultimately defeated and fell behind Ke Zhiming by half a horse length.

After this, Miguang's points were lowered, and he had no chance of participating in the competition and was eliminated.

As soon as the result came out, the whole audience went crazy. The horse fans held up a banner with the three characters "Ke Zhiming" written on it, and the audience cheered like thunder. It was all for Ke Zhiming, the legendary jockey of Hong Kong. He competed in this season at the age of nearly 30, and he continued to be brilliant. Such a jockey is destined to become the most prominent in Hong Kong history.

When all the photographers and microphones were aimed at Ke Zhiming, Zhou Wanlan chuckled.

Last time, her proud Palace Music lost to Ye Tianhui's Hell King, and a living horse was destroyed. Now it can't participate in the competition at all. The loss is huge. This time she finally saved the situation.

Ke Zhiming rode Long Hua Jia Ren and directly blocked Chen Zongwan's Light, making this horse, which had directly entered the finals in the first opening day race, lose the race.

She was very satisfied. This was a way to avenge her past humiliation. She could finally be proud of herself! She was

so happy that she looked at Ye Tianhui who was also watching the race and said, "Thank you."

Her expression was indescribably calm and friendly.

Ye Tianhui looked quite calm: "Mr. Ke's riding skills are unmatched in the world, and a famous general meets a precious horse. My jockey lost to Mr. Ke, but it is still an honor to lose."

Zhou Wanlan laughed even more after hearing this: "In fact, even if this light has no chance of making the final race, it doesn't matter. The Hell King and Black Rose under Miss Ye are already preparing for the final race. In any case, Miss Ye has performed well enough this season."

Ye Tianhui sighed: "Yes, at least two horses have entered the final race."

Zhou Wanlan: "With your strength, don't worry, the horse king of this season will definitely go to your family."

What she said...

She won, but she insisted that the horse king would go to her family. Is this a flattery?

Ye Tianhui glanced at her calmly and said, "I will take what the young lady said as a lucky draw. If the young lady is willing to give me this good luck, then I will accept it. If my Hell King can become the champion guard in the future, it must be the blessing of the young lady. Thank you."

Zhou Wanlan was stunned when she heard this.

The local customs in Hong Kong still care about these things, and she is no exception.

She just won the horse race today, and she wanted to tease Ye Tianhui a few words. In fact, she also wanted to get some face back for the last time she lost Palace music.

Who would have thought that Ye Tianhui would say this, which made her have an indescribable illusion, as if her good fortune of winning the horse race today was borrowed by Ye Tianhui.

It was an indescribable feeling of discomfort.

This is very superstitious, but Zhou Wanlan just believes it.

So when Zhou Wanlan left the racecourse and got on the car, she still felt uncomfortable.

Ke Zhiming had a smile on his face. Although he had won many times, this time he helped Zhou Wanlan beat Ye Tianhui's horse, which was a relief for Zhou Wanlan. This meaning was different from usual.

The car started slowly. He turned his head to look at Zhou Wanlan, but saw that Zhou Wanlan looked a little strange. He couldn't help wondering, "What's wrong?"

Zhou Wanlan shook her head and murmured, "I always have an indescribable premonition. What Ye Tianhui said today made me feel that maybe we will lose."

Ke Zhiming: "Why?"

Zhou Wanlan told Ke Zhiming what Ye Tianhui said, "Her words made me feel that she took away our good luck."

Ke Zhiming frowned, "Don't believe this. "These are all superstitions. You are not like this usually. You get anxious and worried when she says something. What's wrong with you?"

Zhou Wanlan shook her head: "I don't know. It may also be the look in her eyes today. I always feel that she lost the game, but she is not depressed. Instead, she is more determined than before, as if everything is under her control."

Ke Zhiming sighed, raised his hand and gently covered her hand: "Don't be like this, okay?"

Zhou Wanlan looked at Ke Zhiming blankly.

Ke Zhiming: "In fact, I didn't have much confidence when I started competing in this season. I always felt that I was old and this battlefield no longer belonged to me. But since I started competing, I have never lost, especially today, when I defeated Chen Zongwan. This young rider may not be as experienced, but the horse he rides is also a world-famous horse, and he has an aura, which is the sharpness of a rookie. People like this are actually what I fear the most and are the most difficult to deal with. Today I still succeeded in defeating him, which gives me confidence."

He looked at the winter sky of Hong Kong in the distance, spread his fingers, and held Zhou Wanlan's hand tightly.

He said hoarsely, "Believe me, I will definitely win. I will create the last legend in my life and take your beautiful lady to the championship throne."

He looked at her with an extremely gentle expression, "I will also get the Queen's Trophy from the British royal family and put it in your hands."

Zhou Wanlan tilted her head and looked at Ke Zhiming.

His jawline was sharp and his eyes were extremely firm.

She slowly dispelled the psychological pressure that Ye Tianhui brought to her, and then finally held his hand back: "Well, I believe in you, and I also believe in Longhua Beauty."

Ke Zhiming smiled rarely: "Ye Tianhui's Ma will be famous in Hong Kong one day. I believe she has such ability. She is indeed not an ordinary woman. However, the time has not come yet."

Zhou Wanlan's eyes were soft: "Well, why?"

Ke Zhiming smiled, his voice hoarse and firm: "Because I am still here."

He looked at Zhou Wanlan: "Whether it is Lin Jianquan or Nie Pingqi, I will beat them."

***********

Ye Tianhui went to the backstage area of ​​the game. It was obvious that Chen Zong was hit hard. His body was shaking. He tried to clench his fists to calm himself down, but he couldn't do it at all.

This young man was at the peak of his career right after his debut, enjoying honor and fame, and becoming the focus of this season's horse racing. In such a race that the Hong Kong media paid close attention to, he was defeated by Ke Zhiming. This was obviously a heavy blow to him, and his sharpness was instantly frustrated.

Sun Jiajing tried to comfort him, but Chen Zongwan simply didn't listen.

When Ye Tianhui passed by, Chen Zongwan raised his eyes and looked at her.

His eyes were full of guilt and pain: "I'm sorry, I lost, I lost, I didn't expect that I would lose, I fell behind by half a horse length!"

A terrible defeat, a terrible defeat without any suspense!

Because of the terrible defeat, the points were greatly reduced, and Zhaoguang lost the qualification for the final race!

Ye Tianhui was very calm: "It doesn't matter. Winning and losing are common in the military. If you lose, you lose. What's the problem? Can you always win?"

Her tone was so relaxed that Chen Zongwan was stunned.

Ye Tianhui looked at Lin Jianquan beside her.

Lin Jianquan was accompanying Chen Zongwan.

Ye Tianhui looked at Lin Jianquan: "Including you, Jianquan, I don't mean to disallow you to lose. Don't think that losing is like losing your life. You have only participated in a few competitions. Why do you have to win?"

For a while, the two of them were silent and everyone listened in silence.

Ye Tianhui's indifferent attitude really made people feel better.

Not only Chen Zongwan, but also Lin Jianquan, every game is a matter of a moment. They have to face victory or defeat. If they lose, they will face a huge price. The pressure they bear is naturally not what ordinary people can imagine. She said that at least the psychological pressure will be slightly reduced.

Ye Tianhui: "But since you lost, you must know why you lost. After returning, watch the video tape of this game twenty times. I ask you to keep every second of progress and every subtle reaction of Ke Zhiming in your mind, and think about why you lost."

Lin Jianquan and Chen Zongwan both said: "Okay, I know."

Ye Tianhui: "Go back, eat something delicious, and don't let me see you frustrated."

*********

On the way back to Ye's house, Ye Tianhui calculated the current situation.

Chen Zongwan lost the race this time, but it was nothing, she still had Hell King and Black Rose, both of which were qualified for the final race.

According to the usual practice, the final race can have a maximum of twelve horses, which means one in six seats.

But after returning to the Ye family, it was obvious that the Ye family was a little disappointed about this. Everyone had placed bets and had been winning before, but suddenly lost this time and lost money, which made them feel bad. Some

people also asked privately about Ye Tianhui's next plan. Ye Tianhui said that victory and defeat are common in the military, and the racecourse is ever-changing, and she can't guarantee that she will always win.

Everyone felt a little embarrassed and had to stop asking.

Who knew that after dinner, the second wife suddenly spoke up and asked curiously: "Although Light lost the competition, it can still enter the final round, right?"

Everyone was joking about other things, but when she said this, everyone looked at Ye Tianhui.

Ye Tianhui glanced at the second wife indifferently: "Second Madam, you don't understand such a simple rule question? Didn't Grandpa mention it to you before?"

After saying that, she stood up and left.

The second wife was stunned. She didn't expect that in front of the public, Ye Tianhui would be so disrespectful to her and speak so bluntly.

Everyone was a little embarrassed and speechless for a moment, but they all retracted their gazes and said nothing.

Everyone can see clearly that Ye Tianhui's two horses have entered the final race. Although they lost this time, everyone won a lot of money. Who would want to go against such a person?

So everyone pretended not to see the embarrassment of the second wife.

After all, neither of them could be offended.

The second wife looked extremely ugly. She stood there for a while, and finally got up and went back to her room.

After Ye Tianhui left the main hall, she went back to her room.

In fact, she didn't take the second wife's little provocation seriously. A few words of quarrel were nothing. She was thinking about other important things in her mind. On the

one hand, she would take the riding master exam the next day. There would be no problem with the skill test, but she was not so sure about the cultural knowledge test. She had to take a temporary precaution.

Second, after watching the match between Chen Zongwan and Ke Zhiming today, she noticed a subtle movement. Because of that movement, she had a bold guess in her mind.

This guess needs to be confirmed, and once it is confirmed, maybe Ke Zhiming's flaw can be found, and then Ke Zhiming can be completely defeated, so that he will no longer be able to compete for the championship of this season.

Thinking of this, she finally made a phone call, but it was to her assistant: "Get the videotapes of Ke Zhiming's past games--"

She paused: "Collect all the videotapes of the past two years, I want to study them carefully."

*********

The next day, Ye Tianhui took the cultural course and skill exams for riders, and the exam process was very smooth.

As soon as she left the examination room, Gu Shizhang came over. They had agreed to go shopping together the night before.

He wore a tweed coat, which was stiff and thick, and he looked a bit dignified.

He took Ye Tianhui's hand and shook it: "How is it?"

Ye Tianhui: "It's OK, the skills are full marks, if the cultural subjects can pass, then there will be no problem."

Gu Shizhang smiled: "Don't worry, you will definitely pass."

Recently, she went to his place, and he took her to review from time to time. He had a rough idea of ​​her level, and she should have no problem with the exam.

Ye Tianhui: "I hope so, but there are a few questions that I'm not sure about."

Gu Shizhang: "Well, tell me about it."

Ye Tianhui gave a general explanation, and Gu Shizhang analyzed it for her. Ye Tianhui suddenly realized, thought about her answer, and roughly calculated the score: "I guess it's okay to pass."

Gu Shizhang: "That's it, just wait for the certificate."

Ye Tianhui sighed: "Okay, if I get it, maybe I can do it myself."

She was still thinking about Ke Zhiming.

She didn't want to be in the limelight for the time being. She still wanted to train Lin Jianquan and Chen Zongwan, push them to a high position, and build momentum for them.

Lin Jianquan and Chen Zongwan were both her jockeys with a 30-year contract. After training them, she could just lie down and collect money. She could collect money for the rest of her life.

This is just like her previous military deployment. She could only kill a few people by going into battle. What she had to do was to retreat behind the scenes and train her own generals. She only needed to mobilize the troops and generals.

But when it was absolutely necessary, she could do it.

After hearing this, Gu Shizhang glanced at her sideways and asked, "Are you thinking about Nie Pingqi or Ke Zhiming now?"

Ye Tianhui: "Both. I plan to study Ke Zhiming carefully first. I estimate that we will be able to face Ke Zhiming soon."

Gu Shizhang sighed: "You lost yesterday, and I was worried about you. Now it seems that you don't care."

Ye Tianhui: "I care... but what can I do? Anyway, I lost."

Thinking of Zhou Wanlan's obviously proud look yesterday, she snorted: "Your old friend was very happy yesterday, so I didn't hesitate to make her unhappy."

Gu Shizhang: "Oh?"

Ye Tianhui told Gu Shizhang the situation. Gu Shizhang was silent for a moment, then laughed out loud.

He sighed and said, "She believes it very much."

Ye Tianhui: "Yes, I feel so, so I immediately dampened her enthusiasm."

Gu Shizhang laughed from the side: "She is also a sharp-tongued person, and now that she has met you, you two are also on the same page."

Ye Tianhui snorted and looked at him after hearing this.

Gu Shizhang: "I stand by you unconditionally."

Ye Tianhui: "Then I'm curious about one thing."

She lowered her voice: "Just pure curiosity."

Gu Shizhang: "What?"

Ye Tianhui: "I'm asking you, you don't have to tell me."

Gu Shizhang: "Well, you ask."

Ye Tianhui: "Does she have something with that Ke Zhiming?"

Gu Shizhang raised his eyebrows and looked at her.

Ye Tianhui coughed, "It's just a feeling, just a strange feeling."

She felt that they were beyond the normal relationship between boss and subordinate, but they were not lovers.

She said again, "I'm just curious. I told you, you don't have to tell me."

Gu Shizhang hesitated for a moment before saying, "As far as I know, they should have known each other for many years, and their relationship is extraordinary, but I don't know the specific situation."

Ye Tianhui: "Oh..."

He said that, so she was basically sure.

Ke Zhiming liked Zhou Wanlan. When the Zhou family was in trouble, he was unable to save Zhou Wanlan, who had to marry for the sake of the family. So now, for Zhou Wanlan, he ignored his original plan to retire and competed again in this Hong Kong season, wanting to lay a foundation for Zhou Wanlan's horse racing career.

If this is the case, everything makes sense. This is why Zhou Wanlan was confident that she could dig out Ke Zhiming at the critical moment before the start of the season.

Thinking of this, Gu Shizhang suddenly asked: "By the way, do you want to try the Queen's Cup Mountain Bike Race?"

Ye Tianhui was a little surprised when she heard it.

The Queen's Cup Mountain Bike Race that Gu Shizhang mentioned is actually related to the Queen of England. Just a few years ago, Queen Elizabeth II of England and her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, visited Hong Kong. In order to celebrate, the Hong Kong Jockey Club specially created the Queen's Cup Mountain Bike Race. The first Queen's Cup Mountain Bike Race was awarded by the Queen of England herself, so the popularity is unprecedented.

After that, the Queen's Cup continued. Although there was no Queen's award, the results of the competition would still be reported to the Queen by the Chief Executive of Hong Kong, and the trophy from the British royal family would be received.

In the past five years, Ke Zhiming participated in the Queen's Cup twice, and each time he won the Queen's Cup.

This mountain race is not counted in the qualifying points, and is a separate race from the qualifying, but the prize money is amazing and it is a great help to the personal future of the rider.

However, Ye Tianhui has not considered it for the time being.

Because the Queen's Mountain Race is only three or four days away from the final race. If you participate in the mountain race, rest for two or three days, and then continue to participate in the final race, it may affect your final condition.

The current plan is that Chen Zongwan and Lin Jianquan will drive Black Rose and Hell King respectively, and fight together in the final race to compete for the title of Horse King.

Gu Shizhang said, "But Ke Zhiming will participate in the mountain race."

Ye Tianhui: "Why?"

Ke Zhiming will participate in the final race. If he fails in the mountain race, it will have a huge impact on the subsequent final races.

Gu Shizhang smiled and said, "It's just a guess."

Ye Tianhui's heart moved.

She knew that Gu Shizhang must know, he just didn't tell her, but it didn't matter.

In the final race, Hell King and Black Rose will encounter Nie Pingqi and Ke Zhiming, and of course there will be other powerful opponents.

Based on their current strategy, she believes that Lin Jianquan can defeat Nie Pingqi, but she does not have much confidence in Ke Zhiming.

If we can severely hit Ke Zhiming's confidence before the final round, then we will definitely win the final round.

Since he dares to be so arrogant and dares to reach out for the Queen's Cup before the final round, why can't he pay the price?

Seeing that she has been silent, Gu Shizhang glanced at her again: "Why, do you have an idea?"

Ye Tianhui chuckled and said, "Mountain race, right?"

It's fun.

Gu Shizhang: "I guess you don't want to let your two favorite players distract themselves from the Queen's Cup before the final round."

Ye Tianhui smiled and said, "Let's talk about it later."

After saying this, she saw that Gu Shizhang's car was not going in the right direction: "Where are you going?"

Gu Shizhang chuckled: "You don't have to go back to the Ye family's ancestral home tonight, right?"

Ye Tianhui: "Yeah."

She occasionally lives in her own house in Causeway Bay now, so she doesn't have to go back to the Ye family's ancestral home. In this way, if it's too late, she might as well not go back, and no one will find out.

But she wondered: "Where are you going?"

Gu Shizhang: "You'll know when you get there."

Ye Tianhui frowned: "Are you going to sell me out..."

Gu Shizhang: "Can you think of something better?"

Ye Tianhui looked out the window. Is she going to the pier?

Gu Shizhang: "Let me take you on a night tour of Victoria Harbor?"

Ye Tianhui thought about it and understood: "Yacht?"

Gu Shizhang smiled and said, "Yes."
