642: Chapter 642: Anti-Cliché!

No Integrity!

Tang Xiao had a very strong desire to win!

Women are no less capable than men!

She wanted to prove herself not just in terms of physical strength but in other aspects as well, even in gambling on soccer matches, she would not be weaker than Wu Jie.

At least, the difference wasn’t too significant.

As soon as she finished speaking, it sparked a big discussion.

“That’s not right!

You are all billionaires with fortunes of hundreds of billions, why would you care about the small money from sports betting?”

“President Tang, your gambling must be on the fringe markets, right?

The kind where you bet tens or even hundreds of millions at a time!”

“Exactly!

The odds for sports betting are too low, and some matches don’t even allow betting on single-game wins or losses.

To get higher odds, you have to bet on multiple games simultaneously!”

…

Tang Xiao openly admitted to gambling on the fringe markets, but she didn’t reveal how much she won or lost.

After chatting for a while, she asked anxiously:

“I didn’t place a bet on this match, but what about the next two matches?

How did you all bet?”

Wang Lei immediately took out his betting slip and passed it to Tang Xiao.

“I bet on a two-fold accumulator, Germany and Brazil to win!”

“It’s just a shame they’re all strong teams; the odds are still very low.

I bet five hundred, and at most, I will earn just over a hundred!”

Tang Xiao looked at it and was a bit astonished.

“That’s so little!

What if they get upset or forced to a draw, then what?”

Wang Lei explained:

“If even one match is incorrect, then that five hundred is gone!

But President Tang, those two teams are very strong!”

“Brazil has won the World Cup five times, known as the five-star Brazil, always a powerhouse in South America and a World Cup strong contender!”

“Neymar is on the same level as Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, a superstar with great ability, unlikely to lose to Switzerland!”

“And Germany, with four World Cup titles, known as the German Panzer, with superb strength, how could they possibly lose to Mexico?”

…

After Wang Lei finished speaking, others also began to express their opinions.

But just as Wu Jie said.

Teams with great strength are bound to be favored by the vast majority of people and seen as hot candidates for the championship.

However, the stronger the public sentiment, the more necessary it is to resist going with the flow.

“Bet against the favorite in soccer, and villas will dot the seaside!”

That’s what Tang Xiao was thinking quietly to herself.

She recalled that Wu Jie had won over a hundred billion Gold Coins on the cruise precisely by bravely betting on the underdogs.

Now that everyone was favoring Germany and Brazil, she decided to do the opposite.

Suddenly!

A whistle blew.

The Serbia team finally scored a goal, a very beautiful free kick.

The dull match turned into one-zero.

The crowd cheered exuberantly, excited beyond measure.

And the commentator’s words once again reminded Tang Xiao.

“Although trailing in the score, who would have thought that the Costa Rica team, seen as the underdogs before the match, could also be so strong!”

“Their tenacious defense has lasted till now, only conceding the goal from a free kick.

If they keep it up, equalizing is not without hope!”

“This is also because the development of professional football has led to more integrated player quality and overall tactics, narrowing the gap…”

Tang Xiao didn’t finish listening before she got up and moved to a more secluded spot.

Neither Wu Jie nor the football commentators were wrong.

Modern professional football had become highly commercialized and globalized.

Players from Asia could play in Europe, and there was no shortage of South American players in Europe’s top leagues.

If the quality of players and coaches was not very different, then the fighting strength of a team depended on how well the team meshed together.

Some teams, despite having many stars, could still be weak if they lacked synergy.

On the other hand, if an ordinary team had skillful cooperation and executed tactics well, they could be amazing!

Therefore…

“I’m betting thirty million, Germany and Brazil to lose with a handicap!”

“You heard me right, hurry up and place the bet, remember it’s in Gold Coins!”

Tang Xiao was very firm and resolute in her decision.

Compared to profits of over a hundred billion Gold Coins, thirty million Gold Coins was less than a drop in the bucket.

It’s gambling!

If you’re guaranteed to win, can it still be called gambling?

Of course, Tang Xiao was relatively conservative, opting for ‘handicap loss’.

That meant even if both matches ended in draws, she would still win money.

After placing her bet, Tang Xiao couldn’t wait for the first match to end quickly and for the time to move on to eleven o’clock at night.

Watching a match without a stake in it was just boring and uninteresting!

Just like the night before when the Argentina Team was unexpectedly held to a draw by Iceland, many people were distraught, but Tang Xiao remained unfazed.

But if she had placed a bet, her moods would certainly be different.

She would have been cursing and ranting like Tang Xin and Tang Kun.

Returning to her seat, she didn’t pay much attention to the following matches.

The match ended, and the score of one-zero was maintained until the final whistle.

There was still over an hour to go before the second match Tang Xiao was interested in would start.

Wang Lei and the others, of course, got busy with work, ensuring the smooth operation of the Genius App.

Tang Xiao suddenly felt utterly bored.

Was she supposed to sit alone, watching TV commercials while waiting for the match to start?

Taking her drink and snacks, Tang Xiao stood up and headed to Wu Jie’s office.

Knocking and entering, she saw Wu Jie typing away fiercely at the keyboard, busy as could be.

“You’ve been at it for nearly an hour, take a break!”

Tang Xiao put down the snacks, went behind Wu Jie, and began gently massaging his shoulders.

“Still suspect that I came here for a secret meeting with a femme fatale?”

Wu Jie kept his hands on the keyboard, a smile playing on his lips as he asked.

Tang Xiao huffed, “Stingy!

I was just making a casual remark!”

“Even if you did come, it wouldn’t be today.

It’s the weekend.

How could Chu Yunxuan possibly be here working overtime on a night like this?”

Wu Jie shook his head with a light laugh.

I knew as long as Chu Yunxuan was still at the company, Tang Xiao’s vigilance wouldn’t drop by half a notch.

But if you’re straight, why fear a crooked shadow?

What was there for Wu Jie to explain?

Instead, what was the deal with Tang Xiao’s sudden tender massage?

“All this attentiveness, could it be you’ve done something naughty?”

Wu Jie quipped with a laugh.

Tang Xiao said with a smile, “Nothing much!

Just a small bet!”

“How much exactly?

And how did you bet?” Wu Jie asked with a grave voice.

“Oh, it was just 30 million Gold Coins, I bet on Germany and Brazil with a handicap loss!”

Upon hearing this, Wu Jie nearly fainted.

Damn it!

30 million…

and we’re talking Gold Coins!

Fuck me!

Quite the “just a small bet”!

I used to think Tang Xiao was a perfect goddess, with just a fiery temper being her only flaw.

But now, this squandering…

is quite unambiguous too!

30 million Gold Coins, when converted, amounts to nearly two hundred million in banknotes.

An ordinary person couldn’t earn that much in their entire life.

And yet, in Tang Xiao’s words, it was ‘just a small gamble,’ as if losing it was of no regret.

She really was too wealthy and willful!

If Tang Kun knew how extravagantly inhuman Tang Xiao was, being scolded for losing less than a million himself, he’d probably be so angry he’d vomit blood.

…

After waiting a good while without a peep from Wu Jie, Tang Xiao quickly leaned in to take a careful look.

“Hey, why aren’t you saying anything?

Did I bet wrong?”

Wu Jie shook his head.

“I merely placed a small 30 million Gold Coins bet.

You dared to go all in with over 20 billion Gold Coins on a long shot on that cruise.

Compared to you, I’m still far behind!”

These words from Tang Xiao sounded so strange to Wu Jie.

“Sss…

Does that mean you’re complimenting me?”

Tang Xiao pressed harder on Wu Jie’s shoulders.

“Right!

I’m praising you for your guts and keen vision!!”

Wu Jie scoffed with disdain, “Isn’t that obvious?

Can it even compare?”

Tang Xiao pouted and said, “Look at you, acting all proud and arrogant.

You won’t find anyone more shameless in the whole world.”

Wu Jie chuckled and said:

“A bad boy is loved by the ladies!

If I weren’t shameless, how could I make a domineering president like you call me ‘husband’?”

“Hmph!

As expected, no shame!”

Tang Xiao pinched Wu Jie’s shoulder hard, causing him to shiver from the pain.

“Hey, hey, hey, are you trying to murder your own husband?”

“This is called ‘loosening your bones,’ shouldn’t you be thanking me?”

With that, Tang Xiao applied even more force.

Wu Jie grimaced in pain and joked, “Such a great kindness cannot be repaid, maybe I should pay you back with my body right here?”

“You dare!!”

Tang Xiao glared furiously, abandoning the use of her hands to instead jab with her elbow.

Making Wu Jie feel as if his shoulder was close to being dislocated.

“Okay, okay, it was just a joke.

I wouldn’t want to cherish my beautiful wife in such a shabby office!”

Tang Xiao let go and stepped back two paces.

“Good that you know!

But…

what are you up to now?”

“That AI Beauty Identification Feature you released last time, it made so many people unable to live stream, they despised you for it!”

“So what mischief are you planning this time?”

Wu Jie said with an embarrassed smile, “That feature was to help everyone recognize beauty and ugliness, and although it tricked quite a few internet celebrities, it at least made the plastic surgery industry boom!

Haven’t you seen all the banners from plastic surgery clinics hanging in our lobby downstairs?”

“You’re actually proud of hanging that sort of banner, shameless to the extreme.

I’m embarrassed for you!”

Tang Xiao crossed her arms, her face full of disdain.

Wu Jie chuckled and continued to rapidly type on the keyboard, only presenting the software after he was done.

“What is this?

A video converter?” Tang Xiao asked curiously.

“No!

To be precise, it’s a Software Conversion Tool!”

Wu Jie took out two phones from his pocket, an iPhone and a Huawei.

“In today’s world, the operating systems of smartphones and tablets are either Android or iOS.”

“These two systems are basically incompatible, and their software environments are completely different!”

“Because of this, any software company needs to develop two versions of any app, and set up two sets of servers!”

Tang Xiao frowned slightly, “So?

Your tool is for facilitating the conversion?”

Wu Jie nodded, “Yes!

With this tool, companies only need to develop one version, and the other can be automatically converted.”

“This would not only save development time but also reduce labor costs!”

Tang Xiao rolled her eyes.

“So…

you’re planning to screw over the programmers this time!”

After saying this, Tang Xiao suddenly became alert.

“Hey, something doesn’t seem right here!”

Tang Xiao pulled up a chair and sat down.

She watched Wu Jie download an Android version of a small game from the internet.

After a quick conversion, it could be directly installed and used on the iPhone without any issues.

And after giving it a closer thought, she realized the thought gave her the ‘creeps.’

Out of the blue!

Tang Xiao stood up abruptly, her expression a mix of shock and excitement.

“Oh my god!

You…

you just took a few hours to create such a revolutionary software tool?”

Wu Jie shrugged, “Yeah!

It’s just a small tool, did you expect it to take several years?”

Tang Xiao’s brows knitted tightly as she shook her head repeatedly.

“No!

There’s…

there’s definitely something more to this!”

“Let me think it through properly, I feel like there’s something off!”

…
