Chapter 315: 7. The Landlord

Chapter 315

Steven smiled so widely that his face hurt, but he still could not control himself and kept grinning from ear to ear.

To be honest, even at the peak of his wealth, he did not have $200,000.

He was a grown man who could not save money and did not have the habit of saving money.

He was actually prepared to lose that $20,000.

He felt that he was too greedy betting on Xiao Qi to place in the top three, since it was Xiao Qi's first competition.

He always had such a rash personality, which was the reason why he finally divorced his ex-wife.

They were both too impulsive. Although they loved each other, they could not spend their days together.

But now, Xiao Qi was first place! Hahahaha......

Steven could not stop smiling.

Xiao Shengzhou was also very surprised. He did not bet on horses. His family education was quite strict and did not allow him to gamble on such things. He was willing to let Ji Gu come to participate in the competition to give Ji Gu a chance and also give Xiao Qi a chance.

Ji Gu was a racehorse and should go on the racetrack once.

And Xiao Qi had been training very hard. He had seen it with his own eyes.

There was also Steven's daily urging.

Xiao Shengzhou agreed to let Xiao Qi bring Ji Gu to participate in the competition, but did not expect that they would actually win the championship. Was the championship so easy to obtain?

Some inexplicable spectators in the stands who had bought No. 4 were excited and crazy. The odds were 10 times, there were 5 times odds for betting No. 4 to place in the top three. It was crazy profit.

Of course, most people lost money.

She was a bit lightheaded inside, 4 million plus, if in her hometown Gumula Village, it would probably be money she couldn’t spend her whole life.

Feeling somewhat smug inside, she could only appear more and more serious on the surface, pursing her little mouth looking very unfriendly. This girl in the red riding outfit appeared on a page of the Capital City Evening News.

Riding a horse, very majestic.

After leaving the racetrack and returning to the hotel, Xiao Qi seemed to only show her excitement then.

Steven had been grinning since the end of the competition, never closing his mouth once. His emotions were written all over his face as he madly video called all his old friends, sometimes asking Xiao Qi to make an appearance in the video.

Xiao Shengzhou was also in a pretty good mood.

Steven became more arrogant, acting as if he had more money than he could spend. He said he wanted to treat everyone to a meal to properly celebrate after the competition, at the most expensive and delicious restaurant.

Xiao Qi was also smiling, more relaxed now in front of the chairman and coach. After showering when they got back to the hotel and changing into her own T-shirt and jeans, her half-dry hair was tied up in little tufts that looked especially perky.

That night was very relaxed, and they did not have to worry about eating bad food either.

The group intended to go to Gui Street to eat crayfish.

Sitting in the car there, the Capital City gave a magnificent feeling along the way, and also felt prosperous, especially when passing the city gates. There was also a strange sense of pride.

Xiao Qi, now worth over 4 million RMB, had an idea. She wanted to buy an apartment in the Capital City.

One towering high-rise building after another flashed by outside the window... Xiao Qi watched longingly, if she could really buy property in the Capital City, that would be awesome!

The driver spoke with a Capital City accent and proudly recounted being a native of old Capital City, “In my day, we got up in the morning to the sound of the national flag raising. My home was around this area. Later it got demolished, at first I thought the relocation place was far, but now it’s not that far, outside the Third Ring Road. Don’t look down on the Third Ring Road, even one square meter of my place there costs 100,000 RMB now, hehe.”

Gazing out the window with the heart of a rich lady, listening to the driver speak, Xiao Qi humbly calculated the math in her mind. 100,000 RMB per square meter, 40 square meters would be 4 million RMB. She thought to herself... The driver said his relocated home had over 70 square meters, so he was now a wealthy man worth over 7 million RMB driving them in this beat-up taxi.

Xiao Qi’s ambitious ideas deflated a bit...
