Chapter 320: Thrilling
Ji Wan dismounted and greeted the audience. Fu Qichuan approached her and whispered, "Congratulations on winning the competition and the opportunity to discuss the Qihai project with me. See you in my office tomorrow at 3 p.m."
Ji Wan smiled and nodded, secretly delighted. The first step of the plan had been successful.
He Wanqing walked over unwillingly and forced a smile, "Congratulations, Ji Wan. I didn't expect you to be such a good rider."
"Thank you." Ji Wan responded calmly, "How is your... friend?"
He Wanqing's face froze, and then she sneered, "I don't know that kind of despicable person."
"Really? What a pity." Ji Wan said meaningfully and turned to leave.
On the way to the locker room, Ji Wan was suddenly stopped by someone. Looking back, it was Chi Wenyan.
"Congratulations," he said briefly.
Ji Wan nodded, "Thank you."
Chi Wenyan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Be careful of Fu Qichuan, he's not as simple as you think."
Ji Wan looked at him, his eyes full of questions, "How much do you know about the Qihai project?"
Chi Wenyan did not answer directly, but said: "We need to talk before meeting Fu Qichuan tomorrow."
After the award ceremony, Ji Wan was invited back to the VIP box to rest.
Fu Qichuan was smiling, obviously very satisfied with her performance.
"Ms. Ji's riding skills are breathtaking," Fu Qichuan raised his champagne glass and greeted everyone present. "We are fortunate to have witnessed a wonderful competition today."
Ning Weiwei forced a smile, but the dissatisfaction in her eyes was obvious.
She didn't expect Ji Wan to have such an outstanding performance, which completely disrupted her plan.
Fu Qichuan walked up to Chi Wenyan and said half-jokingly, "Second Master, this female rider is pretty good, isn't she? Would you consider recruiting her?"
Chi Wenyan's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes flickered slightly. "Mr. Fu, you're joking. Miss Ji is an independent business elite, not someone who can be 'taken' by anyone."
Fu Qichuan laughed heartily and patted Chi Wenyan on the shoulder. "I was just joking. However, such talents are indeed rare."
He gave Ji Wan a meaningful look and said, "Tomorrow afternoon at three, I look forward to discussing the Qihai project in depth with Miss Ji."
Ji Wan smiled and nodded, "I will be there on time."
The atmosphere in the box was harmonious, but everyone could sense the undercurrent.
Chi Wenyan stood by the window, glancing at Ji Wan from time to time.
Ning Weiwei and He Wanqing huddled together and talked in low voices, occasionally casting unfriendly glances at each other; Fu Qichuan, on the other hand, moved among the crowd like a fish in water.
"The next competition is about to begin," Fu Qichuan announced. "Men's professional division. Second Master, aren't you going to participate?"
Chi Wenyan shook his head, "I'm just here to watch the game today."
"What a pity," Fu Qichuan said regretfully, "Young Master Sheng came here specifically to compete with you."
Sheng Yanjing is a frequent visitor to the racecourse and an old rival of Chi Wenyan.
Hearing this, he walked over and said with a provocative smile, "Second Master, it's been many years since we last met. Has your riding skills deteriorated?"
Chi Wenyan raised his eyebrows, "I didn't bring any equipment today."
"I have a spare here," Fu Qichuan immediately replied, "If you are willing, you can participate at any time."
Under the urging of the crowd, Chi Wenyan finally nodded in agreement.
Ji Wan watched this scene and realized that the racecourse was not only a place for leisure, but also a social and competitive stage for the powerful.
The men's competition is about to begin, and everyone moves to the viewing area.
Ji Wan and Xia Guoguo sat in the best position and could clearly see the entire track.
"Sister Wan, your riding skills are amazing." Xia Guoguo said excitedly, "I didn't even know you could ride a horse."
Ji Wan smiled slightly, "I learned to ride it when I was a kid, but I haven't ridden it in a long time. I think I picked it up a little bit today."
"That He Wanqing looks unhappy," Xia Guoguo lowered her voice, "What she and her friend did just now is too suspicious."
Ji Wan nodded. "She's always looking for opportunities to mess with me. This isn't the first time."
At this moment, Chi Wenyan and Sheng Yanjing walked side by side towards the starting point. Both of them were wearing professional horse riding equipment and had a strong aura.
Chi Wenyan chose a black horse, while Sheng Yanjing rode a tall, brown-red horse.
"It looks like another fierce battle between dragons and tigers," Fu Qichuan said with interest as he sat down next to Ji Wan. "These two have been rivals for many years."
"On the racecourse?" Ji Wan asked curiously.
Fu Qichuan smiled meaningfully, "It's not just the horse farm. It's also true in the business world and the love world."
Ji Wan nodded thoughtfully, his eyes falling on Chi Wenyan's tall figure.
She had never seen Chi Wenyan like this.
On horseback, he seemed to be one with the horse, and his every move revealed a wild elegance, which was completely different from his usual cold and reserved image.
The starting gun sounds and the race begins.
Chi Wenyan and Sheng Yanjing rushed out like arrows, leaving the other contestants behind in an instant.
The two of them chased each other, evenly matched.
At the end of the first lap, the two were still running side by side.
Chi Wenyan's dark horse was slightly faster, but Sheng Yanjing's riding was more aggressive, and he made some dangerous moves from time to time to seize position.
"They are really amazing," Xia Guoguo praised, "especially Master Chi. He looks so aloof, but he is so energetic when riding a horse."
Ji Wan nodded in agreement and was about to speak when suddenly a stable boy ran into the viewing area in a panic and headed straight for Fu Qichuan.
"Mr. Fu, something happened. There was a fight at the racecourse."
Fu Qichuan's expression changed. "What's going on?"
"It's the girl who wanted to give Ma an injection just now. She came back and was discovered by Miss Ji." Ma Tong said hurriedly.
Ji Wan was stunned for a moment, then stood up and said, "I'll go take a look."
"I'll go with you," Fu Qichuan also stood up and gestured to Sheng Yanjing's assistant, "Notify them to suspend the game."
Outside the horse farm, a group of people were watching something. Chi Wenyan had already arrived at the scene first, and his horse was waiting not far away. It was obvious that he had rushed here immediately after hearing the news.
Ji Wan and Fu Qichuan squeezed into the crowd and saw a shocking scene: He Wanqing's friend was grabbed by the hair by Ji Wan, and her face had been slapped several times, and her face was red.
"You still dare to come?" Ji Wan was furious. "Being caught in the act last time wasn't enough, what are you trying to do now?"
The girl struggled to defend herself, "I just came to get my bag. Why did you hit me?"
"Why?" Ji Wan sneered and pulled out a small syringe from his pocket. "What is this? I just saw you sneaking towards the stable with this in your hand."
The girl paled. “That…that’s my insulin. I’m diabetic.”
"Insulin?" Ji Wan sneered, "Do you want me to call a veterinarian to test it?"
Fu Qichuan gestured to the security guard to take the syringe and said, "I'll arrange for someone to test it. If it's really an illegal drug, we'll call the police."
