OBS Chapter 23's odds have risen to 100.
Chapter 23's odds have risen to 100.
The man was leaning back in his seat, seemingly listening to the person next to him, but Shen Wancheng, now a psychology expert, knew that his body language revealed that he was not interested in what his companion was saying at all.
He was probably thinking about how Maba would continue to pester the three sisters.
Although Guo Tao was one of the four women, his slight delay in stepping forward revealed that their relationship wasn't particularly good; he must have thought things through before stepping forward.
So, as long as she and Shen Yao are alone later, this person will definitely follow them.
Shen Wancheng had great confidence in Shen Yao's skills. As long as this person dared to follow, Shen Wancheng would definitely let him know why the flowers were so red.
At this moment, some important figure appeared in the VIP area in the center of the stadium, and everyone in that area stood up.
A host was holding a microphone and loudly introducing the topic.
"We are honored to have Mr. Gu from the Gu Group, Mr. Li from the Royal Port Group, and Mr. Xu from He's Manufacturing Company in Marseille. We warmly welcome them."
Upon hearing the host's voice, Shen Wancheng immediately shifted her attention from the offensive man to the VIP area.
Mr. Xu of the He Group.
That's none other than her adoptive maternal grandfather, Xu Pingtao.
Indeed, the horse racing track is the place where ordinary people are most likely to see these powerful figures from wealthy families.
From the very beginning, Shen Wancheng's decision to bet on horse racing was not just about making some money; her most important goal was to find an opportunity to meet Xu Pingtao.
Whether or not she acknowledges this wealthy tycoon is a decision she can make later, but it would be better to make her presence known to him beforehand.
The area where Shen Wancheng is currently located is really far from the VIP area.
What method can be used to get close to Xu Pingtao without leaving a trace?
Looking at the bodyguards around Xu Pingtao, Shen Wancheng knew that if she tried to get close, she would be forcibly removed.
While Shen Wancheng was worrying, the horse race also began.
The odds for horse number 2 have risen to an astonishing 100 times.
The odds for each horse are not displayed in real time. Otherwise, if people saw which horse had too high an odds, those who have plenty of money would inevitably throw some money at the horse with the high odds.
The odds for the horse are displayed every half hour.
Just half an hour ago, the odds for number 2 were 30, which, while high, wasn't outrageous. But 100 times is truly outrageous.
Even Shen Wancheng, who was not initially concerned, became interested in the result.
If Shen Yao's gamble pays off, they will suddenly have HK$10.
This is truly their first pot of gold, a huge sum of money, for Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao now.
Shen Yao leaned over the railing, watching the horses gallop across the field, her hands clenched into fists with nervousness, wishing she could ride one herself.
Shen Wancheng had learned a little about horse racing and knew that being a jockey was a profession that required passing very strict tests and overcoming numerous obstacles before finally being able to ride such fine horses in a race.
Seeing Shen Yao's hands trembling unconsciously with excitement, Shen Wancheng suddenly felt that the profession of jockey was quite suitable for Shen Yao.
She could ask Shen Yao for her opinion later. If Shen Yao was willing, she could let Shen Yao pursue this career.
The race was 2000 meters long, and despite all the warm-up beforehand, the actual race only lasted a few minutes.
Because of the extremely high odds for horse number 2, the commentator mentioned horse number 2 several times.
"Horse number 2 has maintained its lead the whole time."
"Horse number 2 is maintaining its position in the top three."
"My God, horse number 2 is truly the biggest dark horse of the day!"
In the final sprint, Shen Yao gripped Shen Wancheng's arm tightly and shook it unconsciously.
When the agile figure of the No. 2 dark horse Qianli was the first to leap into the air and rush to the finish line, Shen Yao shouted and hugged Shen Wancheng tightly beside her.
"Ahhh! Sis, we won! We won! Heihei was so awesome!"
Black?
The nickname Shen Yao gave to the dark horse Qianli really doesn't match his championship record.
Shen Wancheng was also very happy, patting Shen Yao's back repeatedly.
"Our Yaoyao is amazing too! She made 100 times her initial investment, she's made a killing!"
Shen Yao froze, paused for a moment, and then let out an even louder scream.
"That's right, 100x odds!"
"It's not that I'm great, it's that my sister is great. If it weren't for my sister's suggestion, I wouldn't have dared to bet so much. You believe in me even more than I do myself."
"Okay, shh, everyone's watching us."
Shen Wancheng pulled Shen Yao's hand off her body.
Shen Mei, who was standing next to them, was also very happy. Although it was Shen Wancheng and the others who made the money, they were still living together after all. With Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao having money, she would feel more at ease.
Guo Tao even gave Shen Yao a thumbs up.
He had just seen Shen Yao's betting slip; Shen Yao had placed a bet of HK$1000 on horse number 2.
A 100-odds ratio is equivalent to HKD 10.
The average salary on Hong Kong Island is only one or two thousand dollars. It would take an average person nearly 10 years to earn 10 Hong Kong dollars.
Winning HK$10 isn't enough to make someone give up everything, but it would allow Shen Wancheng and her friends to live in Hong Kong Island for several years without any pressure.
"Wow, the mainland girl actually won the bet? Did she bet a hundred Hong Kong dollars? Is there anything to be so happy about?"
Then the voice of the man next to them broke in again.
Shen Yao's smile vanished instantly, and she glared at the smug man.
"none of your business!"
The smug-looking man pointed a finger at Shen Yao and said, "You've got guts, just you wait."
"Are you saying I'm afraid of you?!"
Shen Wancheng patted Shen Yao's hand and whispered in her ear.
"No rush, we'll deal with him once we get out of the horse farm."
Shen Yao's eyes lit up.
How could she forget that the first thing she did when she met her sister was to beat up Zhou Fengxia?
When Zhou Fengxia was taken away by the police, she was covered in injuries.
Her sister is no pushover; she always fights back when someone attacks her, and if someone tries to scheme against her, she'll only become more cunning.
An eye for an eye; no one understands this better than her sister.
Shen Yao couldn't help but feel a little expectant.
Guo Tao didn't know what Shen Wancheng and her sister were thinking, but he didn't want to continue getting into conflicts with others, so he offered his suggestion.
"Why don't you just skip the rest of the games today? I imagine it would be hard for you to stay calm while watching. You might as well just collect your prize and go home."
"Okay, let's go claim the prize together."
Shen Yao actually wanted to watch the later races to better understand horse racing, but since Shen Wancheng said to go claim the prize, she went to claim it and obeyed completely.
Shen Wancheng and her group of four left the stands and headed to the prize redemption area.
After watching them leave with a sinister look, the man who was asking for a beating spoke to the man accompanying him.
"Let's go, let's wait for them at the door."
