Chapter 115 Betting on Football
Wen Shao glanced at Huang Mengting and laughed, "Since the beautiful Huang has spoken, it would be too heartless of me to refuse. Okay, I'll play a game with you first, but the condition is—five million a game. How about it, dare to play with me?"
"Damn! Five million a game, what a spendthrift!" Huang Mengting cursed under her breath, then raised an eyebrow and hesitated. She had never gambled so much before. When she played billiards with Li Wei and the others, the most she ever gambled was a thousand a game. After gritting her teeth and hesitating for a moment, she smiled slightly and said, "I say, Young Master Wen, I get the feeling that you rich young masters don't care about money at all!"
Wen Shao shrugged and laughed, "I told you, I may not have much else, but I have plenty of money. So, wanna bet?"
Li Wei tugged at Huang Mengting, his meaning clear: he wanted her to stop gambling. However, Huang Mengting smiled slightly and said something shocking: "Gambling? Of course I'll gamble. It's just five million. I'll gamble with you."
"Alright, that's great! You start." Wen Shao said with a disdainful look.
Huang Mengting smiled and said, "Why don't you start?"
"it is good."
"Wait!"
Just as Wen Shao bent down to prepare to kick off, Chao Bufan spoke up.
Upon hearing this, Wen Shao straightened up and asked with a smile, "What? You want to come?"
Chao Bufan said in a flat tone, "I'll bet with you, but it seems like it's five million a round..."
Seeing that Chao Bufan seemed to be hesitating, Wen Shao laughed and said, "What? You don't dare to bet five million a game? Even the beautiful Huang dares to bet with me, but you don't?"
Chao Bufan laughed and said, "Young Master Wen, didn't you say you were very rich? What's a mere five million? If you're going to play, then play big."
"Playing big?" Now it was Wen Shao's turn to be surprised.
Chao Bufan smiled slightly, then held up five fingers and said, "Not bad, fifty million a game."
"hiss!"
A collective gasp rippled through the crowd. Huang Mengting and the others stared at Chao Bufan in astonishment, wondering, "Didn't he say he wouldn't? How dare he gamble so heavily?"
Tang Qianqian quickly said, "Bufan, you don't even know how..."
Chao Bufan interrupted Tang Qianqian, then asked with a smile, "So, dare to bet?"
Wen Shao frowned, thinking, "Didn't he just say he wouldn't? How come he dares to gamble so much? Fifty million? Is this guy brain-dead? Or has his head gotten waterlogged?"
Wen Shao glanced at Qin Shao, clearly hesitant.
Seeing Wen Shao hesitate, Chao Bufan joked, "If you don't dare to gamble, then hurry up and leave, don't bother others."
Upon hearing this, Wen Shao frowned, then sneered and said, "Bet? Of course we'll bet. But fifty million is no small sum. We need to find a middleman. Both sides will transfer the money to the middleman's account, and the winning side will keep it. What do you say?"
Chao Bufan nodded and said, "Yes, that's for the best."
Wen Shao is a regular here, known as the "Prince of Billiards," so it's no surprise that many people know him. Hearing about the 50 million-dollar game, many immediately gathered around, eager to see who this idiot was who was betting against the "Prince of Billiards."
It's a joke; in this area, no one has ever beaten Wen Shao. His billiards skills are simply divine.
"Huh? Isn't that the God of Dance?"
Suddenly, someone in the crowd let out a soft exclamation.
"It really is him! Fifty million a game? My goodness! Is this some kind of game? Rich people can really be capricious! Fifty million? I could never earn that much money in my entire life!"
"Ha, this is going to be interesting."
The owner of the billiards hall stepped out from the crowd. He was in his early forties, slightly overweight, and followed by a number of henchmen. As soon as he appeared, he smiled and said, "Young Master Wen, Mr. Chao, are you two really going to gamble this much?"
Wen Shao laughed and said, "Boss Liu, you've come at the right time. I was just worried about not being able to find a middleman! This kid wants to bet 50 million with me in a round. If I don't agree, I'll be struck by lightning!"
Boss Liu nodded, then walked up to Chao Bufan and asked, "Are you really going to gamble this much with him?"
Chao Bufan looked indifferent and said, "Bet? Why not bet?"
Mr. Liu nodded and then said, "Okay, then I'll be your middleman. You transfer the money to my account, and I'll write a check. However, for a bet of 100 million, I must take 500,000 as a handling fee."
Wen Shao shrugged and said, "I have no objection."
Chao Bufan laughed and said, "I have no objection either."
"Okay, then you can all transfer the money to my card!"
They all thought Chao Bufan was just joking around with Wen Shao out of spite, but when they saw that Chao Bufan had actually transferred the money into Boss Liu's private card, they were all shocked.
Tang Qianqian frowned and said, "Bufan, you..."
Chao Bufan interrupted Tang Qianqian, his meaning clear: this was no longer just a matter of arguing, but a matter of face for two wealthy men, so the women should refrain from interfering.
Chao Bufan and Wen Shao transferred the money to Boss Liu's card. Boss Liu immediately wrote a check and said, "Okay, I've written the check. You can start now."
Wen Shao raised the corner of his mouth and asked with a smile, "Would you like to go first or should I?"
Chao Bufan took the cue stick from Huang Mengting, nodded and smiled. The 50 million yuan bet was no longer on Huang Mengting's radar. It was clear to everyone that this wasn't just a simple bet; it was a matter of face for two men, behind the extravagance of two wealthy individuals. Therefore, not only Huang Mengting, but even Tang Qianqian and the others fell silent. At this moment, a crowd had gathered, all eager to see who would emerge victorious in this 50 million yuan bet.
Chao Bufan, holding his cue stick, said seriously, "I'll go first!"
Wen Shao smiled and said, "Okay, you go first."
Chao Bufan held the cue stick in his right hand, placed his left hand together on the pool table with his thumb slightly raised, and then placed the cue stick between his thumb and forefinger. As he bent over, ready to tee off, someone next to him quickly said, "Hey, Dance God, you're holding the cue stick upside down."
That one sentence really stirred up a huge wave of discussion!
Everyone around was so engrossed in the exciting performance that it was about to unfold that they didn't notice the cue stick in Chao Bufan's hand. But when the man spoke, they quickly looked at the cue stick in Chao Bufan's hand, which immediately caused a huge uproar. Many people burst into laughter: "He's even holding the cue stick upside down. It seems that the God of Dance doesn't know how to play billiards!"
Tang Qianqian and the others were speechless. However, while they were speechless, they realized one thing: someone who couldn't even hold the cue stick upside down really didn't know how to play at all. So, they started to worry about Chao Bufan.
