Chapter 566
Qu Feifan's Rival
"Mr. Xu... Xu, what you...what you just predicted really happened." Qu Feifan looked at Xu Bo'an with an incredible look and said in amazement.
Zhong Zhao was also full of admiration, and said: "Incredible, it's simply unbelievable, you are really amazing, this happened... exactly as you said.
Mr. Xu, when you are free, please help me find a marriage partner. Those stubborn people in my family are always urging me to get married. If you help me find one, they will probably give up if there is no hope!"
Xu Bo'an smiled and waved his hands, saying, "It's not as mysterious as you say. I'm just guessing. If it could be so accurate, I wouldn't have time to do anything else every day. I could just concentrate on studying lottery and stocks!"
Qu Feifan was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.
Zhong Zhao only smiled politely, and reserved some opinions about Xu Bo'an's words. But after all, she was a lesbian, and such an expression also revealed a calmness, which was quite normal.
Zhong Zhao was thinking, what's the point of studying lottery and stocks? Although these investments bring huge returns, they are not the most cost-effective.
With Xu Bo'an's ability, if he really needed money, he could just go find some dignitaries to use his divination skills on, and the rewards would definitely be much more lucrative than lottery and stocks.
During this period, he also built up his network of contacts and circles, and with such abilities, Xu Boan still occupies a central position in the circle.
In comparison, the money brought by lottery and stocks is really nothing.
Qu Feifan didn't think so much, but secretly felt lucky that he had followed Xu Bo'an and ran a step earlier. He was laughing, but suddenly stopped, his face changed, and said: "Oh no, my car is still parked over there!"
Just now, in order to enjoy the feel of Xu Boan's big pickup truck, he drove Xu Boan here himself. Zhong Zhao also chose to drive himself, but Qu Feifan's own car was still parked at the golf course.
This time, I'm afraid there's a high probability that I'll be caught in the rain of dirty water.
As soon as Qu Feifan finished speaking, Zhong Zhao, who was always very aloof, couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Especially when thinking that Qu Feifan had just wanted him to park the car there as well, Zhong Zhao couldn't help but feel secretly thankful.
Because the commotion of this incident did not last long, soon after the horse farm owner Zhang Kai finished dealing with the matter, he came back to accompany Xu Bo'an and the other three.
Obviously, among the guests who came to the venue for entertainment today, the ones with the highest status and position were most likely the two second-generation descendants, Zhong Zhao and Qu Feifan. Otherwise, if there were people with higher status and assets, Zhang Kai would definitely not have stayed here so solidly.
Soon, Zhang Kai invited Xu Bo'an and the other two to choose horses that suited them.
There are more than 200 horses in the open horse farm, including more than ten breeds from home and abroad, with different temperaments, almost covering all kinds of needs from small to large and from fast to slow. There are even a few imported racehorses bought specially to give some people the experience of galloping on the battlefield.
This was obviously not Qu Feifan's first time here, and he quickly found a horse that seemed familiar. It was a tall, dark horse with a strong and well-proportioned body. Its body was covered with shiny black hair, like black satin, and it looked very majestic and domineering.
Xu Boan casually chose a brown horse. Xu Boan had played a horse racing game before. Among the various types of horses in the game, the top horses were all famous horses in history, such as Red Hare, Di Lu, Jueying, Wuyuntaxueju and so on.
At that time, there was a yellow horse named Claw Huang Feidian, which was said to be Cao Cao's mount. Xu Boan always thought that Claw Huang Feidian was a golden horse. Later, during an exam, the bored teacher actually gave such a multiple-choice question. After making the mistake, Xu Boan realized that Claw Huang Feidian was actually a snow-white foal with only four yellow hooves.
Because of this incident, Xu Boan was laughed at for his ignorance at the time, so when he saw the horse for the first time, Xu Boan felt like he knew it well.
Zhong Zhao chose a chestnut horse. Zhang Kai originally recommended a white horse to her, saying that it was very popular among girls, but Zhong Zhao insisted on her own opinion and chose a chestnut horse, which looked very heroic.
After everyone decided on the horses they were going to ride, a staff member led them to the changing area to change their basic equipment. Qu Feifan was a frequent visitor here. He had his own riding equipment stored here, so he just wore his own equipment.
Although Zhong Zhao doesn't come here often, she is, after all, one of the top second-generation children in Jiangcheng, and she has all the necessary status, so she naturally has her own equipment stored in such a high-consumption place.
Xu Boan had just arrived and had no equipment of his own. Zhang Kai was generous and directly arranged a full set of new equipment of the right size for Xu Boan, which was considered to be giving enough face to all three of them.
Since Xu Boan had little experience, he just wandered around casually under the guidance of Zhang Kai and Qu Feifan.
Soon, the two arrived at an empty racecourse. Zhang Kai arranged a professional coach to give Xu Boan some simple instructions, and Xu Boan was able to ride the horse and jog at a simple pace.
It took more than a minute to run a lap of the 400-meter track, which was not really fast. It was more like a walk than a marathon.
Qu Feifan looked at Xu Bo'an who was still unsatisfied, pointed at a blurry red triangular flag in the distance, and said to Xu Bo'an: "Mr. Xu, this lap of the track is a bit short and boring. I suggest that we run there, make a circle and then come back. It's only about one kilometer. I'll take you to practice speed running a little. What do you think?"
Xu Bo'an smiled and nodded, and said eagerly: "Okay, you lead the way!"
"Okay!" As he spoke, Qu Feifan pulled the reins, the whip made a light sound in the air, and the horse started to run.
Compared to playing golf, Xu Boan was still very interested in horse riding. Following Qu Feifan's movements, Xu Boan also rode his own horse to catch up.
After a while, the two of them went back and forth and returned again.
After experiencing it, Xu Bo'an wanted to use up his incense and vows to improve his horse riding skills. But before he could put it into practice, he heard someone not far away greeting him with a fake smile: "Hey, isn't this Mr. Qu? How dare you teach others with your limited horse riding skills!" The speaker was a thin man who was also wearing riding equipment. He seemed to be about the same age as Qu Feifan. Judging from the tone of his voice, he was most likely not on good terms with Qu Feifan.
Although Qu Feifan is one of the most famous second-generations in Jiangcheng City, his Qu Group is not the only one that dominates this huge city. Even Zhong Zhenjiang, the richest man, does not dare to say that his family is the only one that dominates. Therefore, it is normal for him to have some conflicts with others.
When Qu Feifan saw this man, his face was obviously a little unhappy. After hearing what this man said, he snorted coldly and said, "Xu Ming, just play your own game, why bother me!"
The man named Xu Ming said cheerfully, "I'm just worried that you might mislead the young people. This brother looks unfamiliar, so I'm kindly advising you that if you want to play horse racing, you'd better find a better partner. Mr. Qu is good at racing, but he's not a good person when it comes to horse racing!"
Seeing that the other party was talking too much, Qu Feifan immediately became angry and shouted: "Xu Ming, that's enough, I..."
Before Qu Feifan could finish his harsh words, Zhong Zhao said in a cold voice: "Okay, Xu Ming, go play somewhere else, don't waste our time here."
Xu Ming was obviously a little surprised to hear Zhong Zhao actually speak up for Qu Feifan, but he still gave Zhong Zhao face and said: "Miss Zhong, I really don't recommend you to play horses with Qu Feifan. He really doesn't understand. He lost miserably in the last competition with me. And you see, the horses he chose for you are all fancy but useless. There is no sense of experience at all. If you have time, why don't I take you along and we can play together!"
Zhong Zhao said coldly: "I'm not interested. We are just having fun. Stop making noise here."
Standing behind Zhong Zhao is the famous Zhong Zhenjiang. Not to mention Qu Feifan and Xu Ming, the two second-generations, even the old masters behind them have to give Zhong Zhao some face, but of course, it's for Zhong Zhenjiang's sake.
But the truth is sometimes that the children of big bosses still have more face than the second-rate middle-level bosses.
Although Xu Ming was indignant, he still said helplessly: "Okay, Miss Zhong, I wish you a good time. We are going to have a game later. If you are interested, you are welcome to watch."
Although Zhong Zhao was aloof, he would not hit anyone who smiled at him, so he nodded towards Xu Ming as a response.
Xu Ming and his group left triumphantly. After a while, Zhang Kai's phone rang. His expression changed slightly and he said to Xu Bo'an and the others, "Mr. Xu, Ms. Zhong, Mr. Qu, I have something to deal with here first. Have fun, and call me anytime if you have anything."
Xu Boan said casually: "You do your thing, we can just have some fun."
Zhang Kai then left with a smile.
Qu Feifan watched Zhang Kai leave and said with a grim expression, "Humph, it must be Xu Ming's gang who are causing trouble. Zhang Kai is just a fence-sitter."
Xu Boan had extraordinary hearing and he heard clearly the conversation on Zhang Kai's phone just now. Naturally, he heard that the person on the other end of the call was indeed Xu Ming whom he had just met. However, the excuse given by the other party was that "the competition needs a more professional referee." As the boss here, Zhang Kai seemed to be a holder of a professional horse racing referee certificate. The other party had a similar status to Qu Feifan, so Zhang Kai naturally could not refuse the question raised by the other party. After all, he had just met him. If he refused now, the team would be at risk and it would be easy to offend people.
However, Xu Bo'an was too lazy to get involved in the private grudges between Qu Feifan and others, so he didn't say much.
Zhong Zhao said impatiently, "Come on, Qu Feifan, Zhang Kai is the boss here, so he naturally doesn't want to offend customers, especially those who are not easy to offend. If you are not satisfied, why don't you buy this place and run it yourself? You are so childish at your age! Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by Mr. Xu?"
Qu Feifan smiled awkwardly and said, "What a joke! The profitability of this horse farm is still good, Zhang Kaicai is reluctant to sell it. Besides, I was originally a customer here, why would he leave me and go there? Isn't this just a lack of face for me?"
Zhong Zhao snorted coldly and said, "Giving you face? Haha, Xu Ming spends more than 180 days out of 365 days a year here, eating, drinking, defecating and urinating here, and he even bought several expensive horses and put them here for him to raise at full cost.
Even if you don't know how much people spend here, you must know that it's much more than you do. If you were the boss here, what would you choose? "
Qu Feifan lost his temper immediately after hearing Zhong Zhao's words, and turned to explain to Xu Bo'an: "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Mr. Xu. Xu Ming is my classmate since childhood. We have never gotten along well. I didn't expect to run into him here today. We had a few words. I hope I didn't spoil your mood."
Xu Bo'an shook his head and said, "Everyone has some trivial worries. It's nothing."
Then, he said with great interest, "I just heard from Miss Zhong that Xu Ming bought a horse and kept it here. I wonder how he bought the horse. Do you two know how?"
The moment Xu Bo'an heard Zhong Zhao say "buy a horse", he suddenly thought of the bonsai world.
Although the people in the mountain village in the bonsai world now have their own toy cars and toy trains as means of transportation, which makes travel much more convenient, because both toys rely on batteries, Xu Boan still does not recommend that they run too far when using them in the future. Basically, they should limit their travel to within Xu Boan's visible range in the bonsai world.
But now the little ones still lack a means of transportation when they go out to the market or to distant places like the county town.
Although there were a few donkeys, mules and even cows, cows were primarily used for plowing and could not be ridden for transportation. Donkeys and mules were far less suitable for transportation than horses.
In this case, it would be more convenient to prepare a few horses.
However, horses are in short supply in the world within the bonsai. Not to mention that the little guys in Kaoshan Village have no horses, even Yan Shouyi's group of people who started the rebellion do not have many horses available for fighting.
Xu Boan seldom saw horses in the real world, so he had never thought about this matter. Now, when he heard Zhong Zhao talking about the buying and selling of horses, Xu Boan suddenly thought of the lack of horses in the bonsai world, so he asked this question.
After hearing Xu Bo'an's words, Zhong Zhao was about to open his mouth to explain, but a sound from a speaker floated over the racecourse, interrupting what Zhong Zhao was about to say. (End of this chapter)
