Chapter 627: Making a Bet
Shen Dong’s bet wasn’t deeply scrutinized for its significance. Perhaps it was just seen as a little amusement for the wealthy. However, since it was meant to be an entertainment for the wealthy, he also had to treat it seriously. If it was going to be a bet, it couldn’t involve trivial tasks. Since it was Mr. Shen who had proposed the bet, he was definitely going to make it hard for him.
Lin Qi had a sly look in her eyes. If he couldn’t do it when the time came, he would have to pay a price. She thought about what kind of price Mr. Shen could pay, but no matter how much she pondered, she couldn’t think of anything that would truly torment Shen Dong. She felt a bit dejected—couldn’t she come up with a way to torment him?
As Lin Qi was thinking this, she felt very troubled and kept pondering deeply. Shen Dong didn’t know what Lin Qi was thinking about and found it quite interesting. Since coming here, she hadn’t mentioned whether to bet or not and just kept staring blankly.
Any unknowing person would think she was faced with some tough century-old problem. If she didn’t want to bet, it was okay; it was just to give this girl a little confidence, which could also be conveyed through other means.
It wasn’t that confidence could only be given through this method. He began contemplating using other methods. Just at this moment, Lin Qi, fearing that Shen Dong would be impatient and unwilling to continue with the bet, felt somewhat dejected and quickly brought up the topic.
"I’ll bet, but what’s in it for me? If there’s nothing appealing, then forget it. I’m someone who values benefits very much. If we are to bet, you need to show some sincerity. Mr. Shen, you can’t just offer an empty promise and say let’s bet.
What should we bet on? We need to make a big deal. Do you agree? If you do, I’m willing to take this bet with you," Lin Qi said with a smile.
That was when Shen Dong suddenly realized. He said to himself that Lin Qi had been pondering something all this time. It turns out she was thinking about how to trap him. Fine, fine. He hadn’t realized this at first, but now that he did, he felt that this girl was really setting him up.
Why hadn’t he noticed before? Never mind, it’s just a bet. He wouldn’t lose anyway. He might as well give her the privilege to see what she wanted. After all, he could afford anything she asked for. He nodded generously and said:
"Alright, just tell me what you want, I can satisfy your request. So, you decide the stakes of the bet."
Lin Qi smiled as well, surprised that he agreed so readily. If he agreed to it, then he shouldn’t blame her for setting a trap. She then said, "I want a condition. If I win this bet, you have to do one thing for me, no matter what, you must do as I say.
