The Happy Farmer Wanderer-Chapter 949: Betting

The woman secretary, wearing round glasses and a confident expression, sashayed up and spoke to Li Qing in a haughty tone, "Come on, show me what you’ve got by smashing me with money. How many coins do you even have in your pocket to be making such big claims? I don’t expect you to have tens of millions or anything, but if you have two hundred thousand in your account balance, I will take your last name."

"Taking my last name is too low a price. If I really can produce that amount, you’ll have to agree to all my conditions!" Li Qing replied.

"Fine, I agree. I really want to see how this fatso can manage!" the secretary said disdainfully. "Claiming you’ll smash me with money, even our Director Dong wouldn’t dare say that. And here you are, spouting nonsense so boldly, I want to see how much money you can actually pull out."

Li Qing scoffed, "Let’s make it official with a contract. You don’t look honest to me, just in case later you deny any conditions I propose."

Hearing Li Qing’s words, the secretary hesitated a bit.

She was intimidated by Li Qing’s calm demeanor.

But somehow, perhaps overtaken by her gambling spirit, she suddenly wanted to take a gamble.

She smirked and disdainfully shouted, "Come on, sign!"

"Xiao Huang, stop fooling around," Director Dong suddenly said sternly.

"Tsk, can’t handle it, huh? The condition was set by you, the bragging was done by you, and now that I want to keep a record, you back out?" Li Qing said with a cold laugh, "What’s the matter? Are you some kind of elite just because you can talk big?"

With Li Qing’s sarcasm, Director Dong’s expression grew unpleasant. After being silent for a while, he said, "I believe, young man, that you can come up with two hundred thousand. Since the stakes are so high, let’s raise it to three million. I’ll act as a witness and throw in my lot as well."

"If you can produce three million, I’ll set the contract price for this land and property at three million. If you can produce five hundred thousand or more, just like you said, if Xiao Huang can meet any condition, what do you say?"

Li Qing’s gaze grew grim; the old fellow really was cunning.

By saying this, he escalated the stakes. If Li Qing only had a few hundred thousand, the bet would effectively be null and void, and if he happened to have around two or three million, the property rental would be settled.

With just a simple statement, the old man had tactically blocked both conditions.

And his set five million was virtually impossible for a young man in the countryside to produce.

With such conditions, naturally, Li Qing couldn’t agree, "Are you blatantly trying to bully me? Did you think I forgot what she just said? If you’re setting conditions, fine. But I need to make some changes."

"If I have two hundred thousand, you need to give me two hundred thousand. If I have three million, you need to give me three million, remember, it’s a gratuitous offer! Moreover, if I have over five million, she must comply with all my conditions, how about that?"

Director Dong looked at Li Qing with a smile, but his eyes were devoid of warmth.

He studied Li Qing for a moment and chuckled, "It’s not good for a young man to be so fond of gambling. Although I’m at a loss with this deal, since my people spat harsh words first...I might as well agree, an impulsive gamble, no harm done. However, I can only give you half an hour to gather the funds, any longer and it won’t count."

Hearing this, Li Qing already had his suspicions.

This old man was definitely plotting something shady!

He didn’t seem like someone easy to deal with or one who could be easily taken advantage of.

But Li Qing wasn’t scared; he had seen enough storms, and he wasn’t easily frightened.

The arrogant secretary soon prepared a contract, and all three of them signed it.

"Young man, now you can start gathering money, you have only half an hour," Director Dong said with a light smile, "By the way, my condition for a three million lease still stands, as long as you can raise that amount."

Li Qing didn’t acknowledge him, but directly opened his account balance and calmly placed it in front of Director Dong.

Director Dong glanced disdainfully upward, then his face harshly shifted, his usually ruddy complexion visibly paling.

He probably felt the sting of loss then and there.

The female secretary rolled her eyes at Li Qing and leaned forward to look at Li Qing’s phone.

Upon seeing it, her expression instantly turned into one of shocked disbelief, "Ten, hundred, thousand, million... six... sixty million, impossible, that must be a photo, right?"

"It’s okay, you can check it out," Li Qing said calmly. "It’s not highly likely to be fake, and I couldn’t have anticipated that you would bring me money, so I didn’t make a fake in advance. I’m not a fortune-teller."

In his account now, there was actually far more than just this sixty million; it was just one of the accounts.

And it was the one with the smallest amount.

Merely from previous compensations, Li Qing’s account balance had long since exceeded a hundred million.

This sixty million was only earned by Qi Mengru and Lü Zong during this period.

If you really calculate it, Li Qing’s net worth had long reached the billion mark.

In the past, if someone had been willing to pay three hundred thousand to rent this courtyard and the land, Li Qing would have definitely persuaded his sister-in-law to rent it out excitedly, but now he truly wasn’t interested.

Moreover, Meifang Pharmaceutical blatantly showed a forceful buying and selling attitude, possibly with impure motives behind it, making it even less likely for him to sell.

No matter how much they offered, Li Qing wouldn’t consider selling.

All this was just playing games with them now.

The flirtatious female secretary, not believing in curses, flipped through Li Qing’s phone and then discovered embarrassingly that it was real.

Not a bit of it was fake.

In an instant, the female secretary’s complexion turned as pale as Director Dong’s.

The price she had to pay might be even higher than Director Dong’s three million.

"Green with envy, aren’t you? I’ve told you not to pretend to be something you’re not," Zi Ling said with a stifled laugh, mocking unabashedly. "Come on, don’t hesitate, pay up. And this woman here, what... what can you even do?"

"She probably couldn’t scrape together any money, apart from looking a bit flirtatious, I can’t see that she looks wealthy," Qin Wenjun said without any reservation. "This one seems a bit like a decoration now."

"What decoration, let Qingzi take care of her!" Tian Yue’e yelled.

Han Mei suddenly looked at Tian Yue’e, "What kind of nonsense are you talking?"

"It’s just venting frustrations, Sister, what else could she be used for?" Tian Yue’e replied.

Having won the wager, now these individuals turned to disregard the female secretary.

Their speech was vulgar to the extreme.

The flirtatious female secretary, facing the openly ferocious words of Tian Yue’e and the others, hastily sent a pleading look towards Director Dong, but Director Dong’s face was at its worst, completely missing the gaze she passed him.

"Please prepare the money promptly, Director Dong. And you, come with me inside!" Li Qing stood up and said to the female secretary.
