Signing In For Eight Years, I Was Exposed As A Zillionaire! - Chapter 408
408 Wine Bet
As he spoke, his gaze landed on Ye Xuan.
This was because he knew that the short man in front of him was the one who had speaking rights.
Although he did not know his background, it was not simple for him to casually take a box of gold at such a young age.
Naturally, he did not dare to offend them easily.
Moreover, he had brought so many young masters and young ladies with him alone. They would all bet at least ten thousand yuan. If he treated them well, he would not have to worry about business in the future.
!!
As an experienced businessman, he knew this.
Ye Xuan looked at the boss’s sincere expression and felt that some people were just like his name[1]. Hence, he looked at everyone and spoke.
“Then, shall we go to the second floor to play?”
Everyone immediately replied.
“We’ll listen to Brother Ye!”
Hearing this, the tension in the boss’s eyes finally relaxed.
“Alright, alright. Come, everyone. I’ll lead the way. It’s very close. We’ll reach by taking the elevator.”
As he spoke, he took the lead and wiped his sweat while smiling cautiously.
Meanwhile, Zheng Yue and his lackeys were huddled in a corner in silence, staring at the dogs in the competition.
Seeing everyone leave majestically, the few of them came back to their senses and ran out of the mansion dejectedly.
When they stayed with Liu Yun and the others, the aura alone made them unable to breathe. They did not even have the mood to bet on the dogs.
However, once they recalled how he had spoken rudely to Liu Yanran and Ye Xuan, their hearts tightened as if they had been bitten by a dog. They were so embarrassed that he wanted to tear his scalp apart.
In particular, Zheng Yue, who tried to show his face and greet her but was ignored, felt even more ashamed.
It would probably take a few months to recover.
…
Meanwhile, in the elevator.
Chen Ken shrunk to the side and rubbed his hands. He listened to the teasing of the young masters and young ladies behind him with a reserved expression.
After a while, the elevator arrived at the second floor.
As soon as the door was opened, they saw a red carpet spread on the ground at the entrance of the elevator, leading straight to the big round table by the window on the steps.
Other than the attendants in black silk, there was no one else present. It was obvious that the place had been cleared.
The boss made a “please” gesture. Ye Xuan took a step forward and walked straight to the high seat at the round table.
More than twenty attendants stood densely on both sides of the red carpet. They bowed and spoke in unison.
“A warm welcome to you, my knight!”
My knight…
Ye Xuan’s heart skipped a beat. What kind of chuunibyou welcome was this…
At this moment, the attendants spoke in unison.
“All our employees will serve you wholeheartedly!”
When the boss saw Ye Xuan’s expression change slightly, he hurriedly explained.
“The people who frequent this restaurant the most are horse riders and horse fans. The racetrack is opposite the second floor, so it became a common welcome phrase of the attendants. Young Master, don’t take offense. Hehehe.”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly. Only now did he know what was going on, but he didn’t care much.
Cold dishes had already been placed on the table. The bowls and chopsticks were placed neatly. As soon as they sat down, the chefs brought hot dishes over one by one.
Following that, there were all kinds of high-end red wine and baijiu, as well as some pure dairy products and drinks.
Although this wasn’t an orthodox restaurant, this kind of service and dishes were comparable to an orthodox restaurant.
At this moment, the boss cupped his fists at Ye Xuan and everyone and spoke sincerely.
“In that case, please enjoy yourselves. I still have some private matters to deal with, so I’ll take my leave first. If you need anything, just tell me.”
With that, he slowly left.
Everyone did not hold back. They treated it as their own home and ate and drank as they pleased.
After eating a few mouthfuls of food to fill his stomach, Liu Yun’s eyes suddenly lit up. He looked at everyone and spoke.
“Hey, why don’t we do this? Why don’t we bet on the dogs with alcohol?”
“Bet on the dogs with alcohol?”
Everyone was puzzled for a moment, but they quickly reacted and cheered.
“Alright! This is fun!”
“What’s the starting bet?”
“If it’s red wine, you have to bet at least half a wine glass. If it’s baijiu, you have to bet at least one shot glass. How about that?”
“Alright, alright. Shall we give the option of increasing the bet?”
“That’s for sure. It’s meaningless not to increase the bet. Let me see. It’s about to start. Let’s bet. I’ll test the waters first. I’ll bet one glass of baijiu on dog Number One. You can bet as much as you want.”
“Then I’ll go with Brother Yun too. I’ll bet half a glass of red wine on dog Number One.”
“I’ll bet on Number Six. I’ve always had my eyes on this dog!”
“I’ll bet on Number Three!”
“Then I’ll bet on Number Two.”
“Brother Ye, do you also want to bet on a dog? How about you drink milk?”
Ye Xuan was eating prawns when he heard someone call him. He waved his hand and spoke.
“You guys play. I’ll drink and play with you when I’m older. It’s boring to drink beverages.”
When everyone heard this, they looked at each other and smiled. They did not say anything else and looked at the dogs who were about to start the competition.
The game was like this. Every person would choose a dog and bet on it. They used wine as betting chips. The starting bet was one glass of baijiu or half a glass of red wine.
For example, if dog Number One won the championship, Liu Yun would not drink. The others who bet on dog Number One also did not need to drink.Meanwhile, those who did not bet on dog Number One would drink.
What they meant by increasing the bet was that if Liu Yun chose dog Number One and bet two glasses of baijiu, and dog Number One won, the others would have to drink equivalent amounts of alcohol.
If someone bet three glasses of baijiu, which was higher than the two glasses bet by the winner, they would also have to drink three glasses of alcohol. After all, they were the one who placed the bet.
Therefore, after playing a few rounds, no one dared to raise their bet too high. After all, the outcome was unknown. No one could say who would win.
What if the other party only bet one cup, but he bet five cups? If the other party won, he would only need to drink one cup, but now, he had to drink five cups.
How aggrieved would they feel?
