“No way?

How can it be this much?

Did I calculate wrong?”

Zhang Hao knitted his brows tightly and scratched his head.

Picking up the calculator, he added the numbers again.

“Ninety-six thousand one, plus forty-six thousand five, plus…”

There was a snap.

“Damn!

It’s still one hundred and fifty thousand!”

Zhang Hao put down the calculator and looked up.

A group of people were staring at him, dumbfounded.

“Son, calculate it again, it was just over one hundred thousand yesterday.

How could it suddenly increase by so much today!”

Zhang Hao’s mother, Sun Meiyu, commanded with a serious expression.

“Ah, why bother recalculating?

There were more people staying up all night eating skewers, drinking, and watching the game!”

Zhang Hao’s father, Zhang Yong, exhausted as he was, snatched away the calculator and clamored:

“Hurry up and go back to sleep, I’m nearly worn to a frazzle.”

At this moment, Liao Lan suddenly asked:

“How about eating breakfast first before going back to sleep?

Xiao and Jie have been helping since they got back and must be hungry!”

“Hey, if you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten.

What are we waiting for?

Hurry up and get it ready!”

Right after, Wu Jianguo looked towards Tang Xin with a chuckle:

“The revenue has surged quite a bit tonight, and I think Xin’er deserves a lot of credit for that!”

“She’s pretty and lively, I noticed a lot of people who originally drank Snowflake Pure Draft switched to unfiltered dark beer!”

Tang Xin chuckled: “Yeah!

They order the more expensive stuff to show off and pretend to be high-class, and we end up making more money!”

“Damn!

So that’s how it is!”

Zhang Hao suddenly realized and immediately turned to Wu Jie:

“Jie, should we specifically recruit a bunch of pretty waitresses?”

Tang Xiao quickly interjected, “Recruit what?

Be careful not to attract swindlers posing as customers to cheat and scam people.

You might not make much profit, but ruin the reputation of our restaurant instead!”

“If you really want to stimulate spending, you’re better off hiring part-time waitresses from the universities.

Paying them daily wages will definitely attract some beauties!”

Wu Jie laughed: “Hiring more might be good, you might even catch the eye of a beauty, and have your lifelong matters settled!”

No sooner had his words fallen than Tang Xin raised her hand to signal.

“Recruiting, right?

I have a wide network!

I can get someone to introduce beauties from Tianyuan’s undergraduate and vocational colleges, just not sure how much the wage should be!”

Zhang Hao scratched his head and said, “This… I’m not too familiar with Tianyuan, and I’ve never hired part-timers before!”

“We don’t need too many pretty waitresses, three or four per night would do, paying each two to three hundred in wages, including a late-night meal!”

Tang Xiao suddenly shifted the topic towards the kitchen:

“What our restaurant is lacking the most right now is chefs and kitchen help.

If business gets even better, we’ll be even more overwhelmed!”

“So we must hire people quickly, but we can’t just hire anyone.

I’d rather pay a higher price for good chefs!”

“Haizhu, you can’t keep bustling about in the kitchen; you’re the manager, you need to free yourself to manage more!”

…

Once Tang Xiao started speaking, she didn’t stop.

As the CEO in charge of a top 500 global company, her insight was naturally sharp and unique.

After being involved in the evening’s busy work, she had even more ideas for improvements.

As she gave her lecture, even Tang Xin listened with unusual seriousness.

The only one who didn’t seem to care was Wu Jie because this was just how Tang Xiao was.

Last time at his Star Cloud Internet Technology, she was the same.

It’s just that the restaurant business was different from the internet industry; the issues discussed and the solutions were not the same.

With Tang Xiao acting as a senior advisor and Zhang Hao eager to learn, Wu Jie wasn’t worried that the restaurant would do poorly.

After a hearty discussion and a full meal, they returned home to wash up and sleep as dawn was breaking.

Wu Jie had been grilling for most of the night, and Tang Xiao was busy chopping vegetables and skewering as well.

Exhausted both physically and mentally, they slept soundly.

But…

When they woke up, it was almost dark again.

Getting up, he took out his phone and saw missed calls and messages from Tang Kun.

“Brother-in-law, I won two more bets after midnight.

I’ve already returned the five hundred thousand.

Please check!”

Wu Jie opened his phone, took a glance, and indeed it was there.

He looked over at Tang Xiao, who was still sleeping soundly.

It seemed like she hadn’t slept well on the super cruise ship Brune.

Getting up quietly, he went to the bathroom, closed the door, and called Tang Kun.

“Hey, brother-in-law, you got the money, right?”

As soon as the call connected, Tang Kun’s joyful voice came through.

Wu Jie, squatting on the toilet, whispered, “I got the money, but where did you get the capital to turn things around, kid?”

Tang Kun laughed, “Isn’t that simple?

I just call a friend, borrowing one or two million isn’t a big deal!”

Wu Jie was momentarily stunned.

Damn!

Why do I still have the mindset of a broke person?

I’ve always treated myself like a salaried worker, living on a meager salary, just enough to cover rent, utilities, seasoning, and instant noodles…

And there’s Tang Kun, a rich kid who drove a Porsche before even graduating from college.

How could borrowing money be difficult for him?

“Heh, from the sound of it, you’ve won quite a bit!”

“Just so-so!

But after tonight, I’m sure to make a killing!

Okay, brother-in-law, I’ve got stuff to do, hanging up now!”

Tang Kun was full of confidence, clearly ready to make a big play that night.

Wu Jie had no time to offer a word of caution before he already hung up.

After that.

He browsed the news on his phone…

World Cup news was everywhere.

Last night the Argentina Team was unexpectedly held to a draw, and Messi missed a penalty kick, leading many people to lose to the point of tears.

“Everyone talks about wanting to jump off the rooftop, but in reality, no one does.”

After all, the subsequent matches, Denmark versus Croatia, were won without any suspense, which I believe allowed quite a few people to win back their losses.

I opened my messaging app and casually scrolled through, noticing that many people updated their social media feeds.

The shameless Black Pupil King Xu Wei posted:

“Taking in girls bankrupted by betting on soccer, aged 18 to 24, weighing no more than 50 kg, at least 160 cm tall, with priority given to those who are good-looking and have nice figures.

A disaster at the gambling table shows no mercy, but there’s still love in the world.

If you fit the criteria, contact me fast, capacity’s limited to just three!”

Wu Jie immediately replied with a string of eye-rolling emojis.

Scrolling down, my old colleague Sun Liang had also posted an update.

“Tonight, going all-in on Germany and Brazil!

If I win, I’ll treat everyone to hotpot, if I lose, you can all ‘hotpot’ me!”

Suddenly.

Wu Jie abruptly noticed that the renowned Mr.

Xu Feng of Liuli City had also sent a message:

“Cristiano Ronaldo’s free-kick cost me a luxury sports car, Messi missing a penalty lost me a seaside villa!

I’m seriously watching tonight to see if Neymar can kick my life away!!”

Bai Fengling also updated her feed, posting a picture of herself with a mournful face, along with a long text:

“I just don’t get it, how can a small gambler like me sway the soccer market.

Every time I bet on a strong team, there’s an upset, whenever I wager on a weak team, they get slaughtered, each time I bet on a draw it turns into a goal fest.

Why do the rich bookies keep their eyes on me?”

In the comments below, Fang Qingya commented, “Bet against football, and you’ll be living by the sea!”

Lin Yuan, however, countered, “Don’t listen to her nonsense.

If you don’t gamble, you won’t lose!”

…

The World Cup that comes every four years.

Is it a fan’s celebration or a gambler’s feast?

Wu Jie really couldn’t figure it out; it seemed like everyone was damn betting-crazy.

After washing up and getting dressed, he walked into the living room, only to find that his parents and Tang Xin were nowhere to be seen.

Tonight’s first game started at eight o’clock, and with two super-strong teams making their debut tonight, the restaurant was expected to be even busier.

When Wu Jie finished preparing the food, a hungry Tang Xiao came to the dining room without being called.

As soon as she sat at the table, Tang Xiao started eating with her chopsticks but kept a close eye on her phone.

“What are you looking at so intently?” Wu Jie asked, curious, as he brought out the soup.

“Checking past match data!” Tang Xiao showed her phone screen to Wu Jie, “The German team is really strong, truly deserving of being called the ‘German Tank’!

They’re definitely going to beat Mexico tonight!”

Wu Jie rolled his eyes.

“You go on and on about Tang Xin, acting all high and mighty, but in the end, you’re an even bigger gambling addict yourself!”

Tang Xiao snorted, “I don’t let Tang Kun and the others gamble because they don’t earn money; they’re betting with living expenses and pocket money!”

“In contrast, Xin’er earns her own money, so whether she wins or loses at betting, that’s her own business.

Isn’t that why I don’t scold her?”

Pausing for a moment, Tang Xiao suddenly changed her demeanor, asking slyly with a smile:

“Hey, I see you’re pretty good at betting on soccer!

You got all four matches right on the cruise ship, helping us win over a hundred billion Gold Coins!”

“So, how do you see tonight’s games?”

Wu Jie pretended not to see or hear her, busying himself with his meal.

“Hey, hey, hey, are you deaf?” Tang Xiao asked, annoyed.

“Is that how you ask for help?

Can’t you be a little more respectful?” Wu Jie replied coldly, casting a disdainful glance.

Tang Xiao inhaled sharply and gritted her teeth, lightly biting her red lips.

Had this been the past with her explosive temper, she would have lost her cool and lashed out.

She definitely would have been stubborn and conceited, betting according to her own desires.

But knowing of Wu Jie’s impressive record of four wins in four battles, and thinking of those terrifying earnings of over ten billion gold coins…

“Oh great one!

Big boss!

Big brother?

Hubby!!”

Tang Xiao’s voice went from high to low, her tone from firm to soft, but with that single ‘Hubby’, she almost melted Wu Jie’s heart.

Turning his head and glancing sideways, Wu Jie smiled and asked, “You want to win money in all three matches tonight, right?”

“No kidding!

It’s not like I want to lose money!” Tang Xiao held her phone, urgently asking, “Quick, tell me, how should I bet?”

Wu Jie, however, countered with a question, “I’d rather ask you, who are you going to bet with?

How much do you plan to bet?”

Tang Xiao laughed and said, “Bet with an international bookie, of course!

And the stakes on the cruise can go up to a billion gold coins.

If I were to bet for fun now, I’d have to go with at least twenty or thirty million gold coins, right?

Anything less and it’s just boring!”

“If that’s really how you feel, then you should definitely not gamble!

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment!”

Wu Jie was burying his head, eating his food and muttering to himself:

“Betting on soccer matches on the cruise ship was just a means to take down Kun Qianxi, an unavoidable part of the game.

I never really cared whether I won or lost!”

“But now, if you bet, it’s purely for winning money.

There’s an endless number of gamblers in the world, and who doesn’t want to win?”

“If you place a bet tonight and win, you’ll want to win more, but if you lose, you’ll want to bet more to make back what you lost, with interest!”

“Many gamblers who end up broke started with just a small amount of money, under the pretense of just playing for fun.”

At this, Wu Jie glanced sideways at Tang Xiao, who was reading an email.

“What?

Still want to gamble?”

“If you say not to gamble, then I won’t!

I’m checking my emails!”

Tang Xiao read through the email swiftly and then suddenly banged the table in anger.

“Damn it!!”

Wu Jie frowned and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“An email from Uncle Fang, saying that Kun Qianxi is dead, and he saw the body being thrown into the sea as shark feed!”

“That’s not even the worst part.

He kept saying he wanted to cooperate, promised to eliminate the Muto Conglomerate from Yincheng as a gesture of sincerity, but he went back on his word!”

Seeing Tang Xiao’s furious face, Wu Jie grew even more astonished.

“No way?

Was he bluffing all this time on the cruise?”

Tang Xiao slightly shook her head, “Uncle Fang hasn’t figured out the reason yet, but when caught between two evils, he chose the lesser.

The Muto Conglomerate from Yincheng must have offered enough benefits to earn their peace, otherwise the Muto sisters would have shared Kun Qianxi’s fate and ended up as shark food in the sea!”

Just as they were discussing this, Wu Jie’s phone rang.

It was an international long-distance call.

Without hesitation, he answered immediately.

Expecting it to be Captain Hittory, it turned out to be Fang Guozhi instead.

“Jie, it’s me.

I just found out that the Muto Conglomerate from Yincheng offered a kind of antidote, making Hittory and the others change their mind!”

“I don’t know what the antidote is specifically, but he’s extremely excited, acting as if he’s found a treasure, claiming it’s going to change the world!”

“As for the cooperation, it doesn’t seem likely anymore.

They might even join forces against you all.

Be careful!”
