18: The triangle is stable and can deliver
After he finished speaking, everyone called over staff to place their bets.
Unsurprisingly, all bets were placed on Chen Gongdan to win. This shows that Li Yi indeed had a reputation.
Otherwise, no one would bet on him to win. Just as a triangle has stability, Li Yi was seen similarly in everyone's eyes.
A guaranteed loss!
In this situation, the second-generation rich kids around Chen Gongdan naturally wouldn't miss this chance to mock him.
"Li Yi, why don't you and your people bet on me to win? That way, you'll lose a little less."
"Exactly. You can't drag your brothers down with you. You should at least give those around you the chance to choose for themselves, right?"
"Don't say that, maybe they secretly had someone help them place bets, hahahahaha."
Listening to Chen Gongdan and his group's taunts, Yu Weijie and his friends naturally refused to be outdone.
"Damn it, did Chen Dog Egg feed you dog shit? Your mouths reek."
"Hahahaha, exactly, it must be. No wonder I smelled dog shit as soon as I sat down. So it was you guys breathing."
Chen Gongdan's face immediately darkened upon hearing this. "Alright, they'll have plenty to cry about when they lose later."
Wang Shaojun had been watching the whole scene with an amused expression. He then waved to a staff member not far away.
Noticing him, the staff member quickly jogged over with a smile.
"Hello, Young Master, how may I help you?"
"Is there a cap on the betting amount here? Also, I want to bet on Li Yi to win."
Upon hearing this, the staff member's expression remained unchanged, but his mind was filled with disbelief.
He thought he had misheard. Bet on Young Master Li to win?
Did this person have too much money with nowhere to spend it?
However, this wasn't his concern. Betting on anyone was the customer's right, and he dared not say more.
"Well, to be honest, the higher-ups did give instructions. There is indeed a cap if you bet on Young Master Chen, but..."
At this point, he couldn't help but glance at Li Yi, hesitating to speak.
Seeing this, Li Yi seemed to realize something, his face sinking, but he still said, "It's alright, go ahead."
The staff member then continued softly, "If you bet on Young Master Li to win, there is no cap."
Hearing this, Li Yi's face didn't show much emotion. No cap was even better; they would have something to cry about later.
Wang Shaojun, on the other hand, smirked, took out a black bank card, and handed it over.
The staff member quickly took it with both hands, awaiting further instructions.
What he never expected was that Wang Shaojun softly said, "There's over 3.5 billion in here. Let's make it a round number: bet 3.5 billion on Li Yi to win."
Hiss~
The staff member gasped, his head buzzing.
He looked incredulous. Had he misheard?
3.5 billion? Surely not 350 million?
No, damn it, 350 million was already terrifying, alright.
Hearing this number, his hands trembled, and the black card fell to the floor. Reacting quickly, he bent down to pick it up. "Sorry, did you just say 3.5 billion?"
Not only the staff member, but even Li Yi and the others were stunned.
Look, this was a true top-tier second-generation! 3.5 billion sounded like 35 yuan coming from his mouth.
Especially the other three beside him; now they finally understood why Li Yi had to call him Brother Jun.
Someone who could easily produce 3.5 billion was incomparable to them.
His identity was probably beyond their imagination.
Chen Gongdan and his group, however, didn't notice what was happening on this side. They were busy discussing where to celebrate after they won.
Wang Shaojun looked at the staff member's expression and nodded slightly. "Yes, no less, only more. What's wrong? Didn't you say there was no cap?"
The staff member, hearing it really was 3.5 billion, involuntarily swallowed. Forget it, he was just an employee, why bother with so much?
"There is no cap, but the amount is too large. I need to consult my superior. Please wait a moment."
Saying that, he handed the bank card back, then turned and jogged away.
"Brother Jun, won't playing this big cause problems?"
Li Yi leaned forward, cautiously suggesting.
He was genuinely scared. This was 3.5 billion; even his father couldn't produce that much cash in a short amount of time.
But looking at it this way, what he had seen was probably just the tip of the iceberg of the other party's wealth.
He was growing more and more curious about Wang Shaojun's identity. Who could so easily produce billions in cash, and the other party was only a young man in his early twenties?
Wang Shaojun didn't speak, just gave him a reassuring look.
Seeing this, Li Yi didn't say anything more.
Before coming, he was worried his 20 million might go to waste. Now, it seemed like a sure win.
Meanwhile, in the bar office, the manager immediately jumped up from his seat upon hearing the staff member's report.
"What did you just say? Someone bet 3.5 billion on Li Yi to win? Did you secretly drink during work hours and are messing with me?"
"Manager Jiang, how would I dare to lie to you about something like this? It's true! The person even seemed to have come with Young Master Li."
He was almost in tears. What kind of situation was this? But he could understand. Usually, one or two tens of millions were the maximum. Now it was directly dozens of times that amount. Anyone would find it hard to believe.
Manager Jiang pondered for a moment, then said, "Wait. I'll make a call first. If I don't reply to you, then postpone the match for a few minutes."
He waved his hand, telling him to go outside and wait.
He then picked up his phone and dialed a number.
Five minutes later, the staff member was called back in.
"Go back to work. We said no cap, and there is no cap. We accept the 3.5 billion. Remember to bring someone to verify the funds."
"Yes, Manager Jiang, I'll go now."
On the other side, Li Yi waited and waited. The match was about to start, but no one had returned.
He couldn't help but grumble, "They wouldn't dare to accept it, would they?"
Yu Weijie retorted, "Brother Yi, you're wrong about that. It's quite the opposite. If they weren't going to accept, they wouldn't have taken so long to come back.
I bet Manager Jiang is consulting with the higher-ups. After all, 3.5 billion is not a small sum."
Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.
"Young Master, no problem. We accept the 3.5 billion. However, there's a small request, which is to verify the funds. What do you think...?"
Hearing this, Wang Shaojun tossed the black card in his hand to the staff member.
In less than three minutes, the staff member returned the black card with a smile, saying, "Alright, the amount is fine."
"It's about to start! Hurry, hurry, we haven't placed our bets yet!"
"Yes, us too! I'm betting four million on Brother Yi to win!"
"I'm betting five million."
"I'm betting twelve million."
And Li Yi, with a grand gesture, bet all his pocket money: twenty-five million.
