44 Book God (2/2)
After a quick mental calculation, Ye Shuang realized that after the four rounds, she had won the equivalent of one month's salary when she still worked at Fang Mo's company. The delayed cold sweat appeared on her back—Thankfully, she hadn't lost on purpose earlier. The stakes this bunch of people played with was truly inhuman.
In such a short amount of time, they're close enough to give her a pet name already… Miss Fang was rather irked by this development. With a glance at Ye Shuang, who was confounded holding the money in her hands, she grumbled, ”Why do you look so worried? The payment from your boyfriend's commercial will be enough for you to play the whole afternoon.”
Ye Shuang didn't know what to say.
The group of girls giggled to themselves. One of them, who had a pair of large, watery eyes and a face that was slightly round with baby fat, gave the rest of them a side-eye before pulling Ye Shuang away. ”Shuang Shuang, ignore them. Come with me, I have something to discuss with you.”
Ye Shuang was pulled away so suddenly that she didn't even notice the glance Miss Fang had tossed her way before she left.
The cute girl pulled Ye Shuang to sit on a long sofa, and it was then that Ye Shuang came to. ”Something to discuss with me? What is it?”
This group of people have something to discuss with me‽ Ye Shuang had a hard time believing that. The girl shot her a toothy grin. ”I heard you talk about equestrian sport earlier, I want to ask, do you know anything about horse appraisal?”
”No!” Ye Shuang shook her head.
The girl frowned with disappointment. Ye Shuang thought about it and said, ”But I can predict a creature's physical condition based on its musculature and bone formation.”
That is horse appraisal!
The girl tutted and asked, ”How accurate is your prediction? Have you done this before?”
”I have not…” Ye Shuang picked up a cluster of grapes. She looked at the girl and already knew where this conversation was going. Earlier, when she was chatting with the group of socialites, she had shared her opinion on horse racing; she had even drawn a simple chart to explain the relationship between muscle distribution and sprinting speed. The fact that this girl had brought that up was clearly because she needed someone with a talent for horse appraisal.
But why should Ye Shuang go find unnecessary trouble for herself‽
Tossing a grape into her mouth, Ye Shuang started to list the stuff that she needed to do after shooting the commercial—refurbish the house, look for work, lure a man…
The girl interrupted her thoughts by announcing, ”So be it! I'm in a hurry, I desperately need your help… If you can point out the winning horse for me, I'll pay you 40,000 as reward!”
Cough! Cough! Cough!
