“Of course you can.” The owner smiled. “But if you are the only one who makes the bet, and you are putting a very small amount on it, we can’t even open it. If you want to make a bet, it needs at least 1,000 liang, okay?”
The owner was very eager to get the money!
Qiao Xuan asked him. “What is the compensation rate?”
Was she really going to make the bet? The owner was motivated and answered enthusiastically. “Five times!”
Honestly, the most popular candidates would have the return of three times, and the two most popular ones had a rate of 1.5 times. The casino was trying to earn money, not giving out money.
Five times were a lot.
Everyone booed. This was going to be a great show.
Qiao Xuan smiled. “Okay, then, my bet is that he is going to win. Here are 5,000 liang!’
Qiao Xuan brought out five notes of 1,000 liang and placed them on the table.
Everyone gasped. Then, someone clapped excitedly.
“Good, very brave! ”
“Hahah, what a stupid person!”
“5,000 liang is too little. Add some more!”
The owner was startled but soon he smiled. He put away the money and gave Qiao Xuan the invoice. He smiled. “Keep it, as a souvenir!”
Everyone laughed, and looked at Qiao Xuan mockingly, as if she were an idiot!
Qiao Xuan smiled. “l will definitely keep it safe to get my money. Be prepared to have 25,000 liang ready for me!”
The owner laughed confidently in return.
“Don’t worry, we never cheat!”
Qiao Xuan snorted. “Good!”
She believed that the casino would be able to afford the compensation, since they were rich. Also, she had the Yuezheng Family behind her. She was not worried that they would be able to cheat.
Later, Qiao Xuan found three more casinos and put 5,000 liang each as the bet.
The other casinos were surprised and found it funny. So, they followed suit and increased the compensation rate to five times.
Some others also wanted to have fun, so they put down the money as well. Shao Yunduan, as a candidate, received a minimum of 100 liang in each of the four casinos.
With this, Shao Yunduan’s name became popular.
Gu Zhiyou and Lu Min were shocked. Who did it?
They soon realized that maybe Shao Yunduan could make it as the Provincial Champion!
Shao Yunduan had always kept a low-profile and he never bragged or talked big. But he was very learned and they did not know how knowledgeable he was.
They even teased him that they would make a bet to support him.
Shao Yunduan laughed.
Shao Yunduan knew that it was his wife who started the bet.
But Gu Zhiyou and Lu Min did go to support him by putting down five liang each. They were not from a rich family after all.
Back at home, Shao Yunduan laughed at the sight of Qiao Xuan.
Qiao Xuan felt a little guilty, but not overly so. She said confidently, “l believe that my husband should have a name on that list, for luck’s sake.. You won’t blame me for splurging, will you?”
