Chapter 507. Younger Female Cousin (1/2)

Ning Donghuan signed and lamented, “Why isn’t there a place for men to relax? Miss Yu, aren’t you overly favoring women over men? This won’t do. You should open up a health club for men so that we also have a place to relax.”

Zhu Junyang immediately shot daggers at him and said with a frown, “Xiaocao is a girl, so how can she work with a bunch of men all day long? Don’t cause trouble and make suggestions for bad ideas!”

Ning Donghuan rubbed his chin and said with a crafty smile, “If Miss Yu isn’t interested, then I, Third Young Master Ning, will go for it! But, can you pass on the technique for back massage?”

“You?” Yu Xiaocao looked him up and down, and then said with disdain, “Would someone like you be able operate a high-class club? Don’t make it into a dirty place. As for the massage technique, you and I aren’t related, so do you think that I will generously pass on the secret massage technique to you?”

Zhu Junyang laughed and said, “People should know their own limitations. Just eat as much as the size of your bowl. Don’t always be overly ambitious and take unnecessary risks!”

“I suggested you guys should open a men’s club, but you guys didn’t want to. Now that I decided to open it, you guys are shooting me down.” Ning Donghuan was exasperated.

Yu Xiaocao chuckled and said, “Who said we’re not opening it? The location has already been chosen. It’s a farmstead in the suburb 2.5 km away from the capital. I reckon that it should be completed by next autumn.”

“A recreational place specially for men? What interesting things will there be? Let’s hear about it.” Ning Donghuan, who was full of spirits again, asked with wide and curious eyes.

“It’s a business secret, so I can’t tell you!” Zhu Junyang had bought the farmstead in the suburb by chance. It wasn’t very big, covering an area around 3000 mu. Xiaocao had mentioned to him that she wanted to build an entertainment castle integrating food, entertainment, leisure, and vacation. As soon as they bought the farmstead, they started making plans for it. The construction of the main building had already begun, and the design had already been completed. It was only a matter of time before its completion.

Although Ning Donghuan felt like there was a cat scratching his heart, he still had a sense of propriety. He didn’t continue to ask and just said, “Then I’ll be looking forward to your surprise! Ay…you two have taken up all the money-making businesses in the capital. Can’t you leave a path for others to make a living?”

Ning Donghuan was silent for a moment, and then he went up to Xiaocao with a flattering expression. He said with a grin, “Miss Yu, we’re considered old friends, so do you think…you can help this younger brother a bit? Can you teach me a way to make money?”

Yu Xiaocao gave him a sidelong glance and said with disdain, “Who’s younger brother are you? I’m not that old to have such a big younger brother. My youngest brother is only three years old!”

“Miss Yu, Miss Yu…please don’t be angry! I’m referring to myself as ‘younger brother’ because I’m willing to be your subordinate. This younger brother will listen to everything you say!” Ning Donghuan moved closer in a very fawning manner. Seeing his toadying gesture made Ning Donglan really wanted to kick him away and pretend that he didn’t have such a younger brother.

Yu Xiaocao quickly stretched out her hands to block him and said, “No, thanks. I don’t dare to use the third young master of the Duke Rongguo Household as a lackey. However, since we are acquaintances, I’ll give you a suggestion.”

“Please say it!” Ning Donghuan wished he could honor Yu Xiaocao like she was the God of Wealth. He looked exactly like a servile servant as he nodded and bowed.

Yu Xiaocao couldn’t bear to look straight at him. With a grin, she said, “Aren’t there places for cricket fighting and cockfighting in the capital? Don’t you boast about raising a lot of fierce hounds at home? You can train some fighting dogs and set up a dog fighting arena. Arrange a few dogfights daily and have people bet on them, or you can organize a godly dog competition…”

Ning Donghuan’s eyes grew increasingly brighter as Yu Xiaocao spoke. In the end, he was so excited that he began to dance with joy. Yes, in terms of having fierce canines, was there anyone in the capital who could beat him, Third Young Master Ning? Training fighting dogs really wasn’t a difficult matter for him. Although there were dog fighting games among the commoners, they were just small-scale games. If he could gather a group of like-minded people and make a high-class dog fighting arena, making money definitely wouldn't be a problem!

After that, Xiaocao taught him about some methods of under-the-table manipulations. For example, dogs that looked tall and strong would appear more likely to win. If they offered high odds, then it would attract people to place bets. Then they needed to use dogs that looked ordinary, but were actually very fierce, as the opponents. In this way, the ‘banker’ would naturally be the one making the money!
