"Come, come, let's toast to the victory today!"
In a high-end restaurant in the city, Cheng Qianqian, Yu Xuan, and Lan raised their glasses and cheered.
The three of them took a big gulp of orange juice happily. Cheng Qianqian took out her phone and started transferring money to the other two.
"Little Xuanxuan, this 5 million is yours. Lan, you have 5 million too!"
Yu Xuan finally believed that Cheng Qianqian had really returned him ten times the 500,000 yuan that she had borrowed from him when he received the notification message from the bank.
"Why do you have so much money!" Yu Xuan frowned. Didn't Cheng Jinzhi only give her 500,000 yuan?
"Did you forget that Qi Xuanxuan and Liu Yuanyuan made a bet of 10 million yuan with me!"
Cheng Qianqian waved her cell phone. "I just uploaded the agreements that they signed with me to the school's intranet. They sent me the money immediately and even obediently signed the gift agreements. They didn't dare to delay a single minute!"
"But… didn't you say that you would give them three days?"
"Do you think that they would give me three days' time if I were the one who lost today?" Cheng Qianqian asked.
Yu Xuan pursed his lips. Of course not!
Qi Xuanxuan and the rest would surely start tormenting Cheng Qianqian even before the start of tomorrow!
"That's why! I'm just returning the favor!" Cheng Qianqian picked up a piece of chicken drumstick and took a big bite.
The meat bought with the money she earned was simply delicious.
"Why did you say that in the competition venue since you didn't plan to give them time?" Lan did not forget to ask as she helped herself to the meat.
"It's just for show, and it's necessary. Otherwise, the others will think that I'm wicked and then pity Qi Xuanxuan and the rest instead." Cheng Qianqian raised her brows.
Thus, while she pretended to give Qi Xuanxuan and the others time to transfer the money, she also posted the agreements online anonymously, giving them pressure to transfer the money quickly. They could not complain to Cheng Qianqian since she had publicly said that she would not force them.
As for them insisting on returning the money as soon as possible because of their pride, that was their own problem!
"But Qianqian, I really didn't expect your Go skills to be that good! Who did you learn it from?"
"None other than the old barber in our village." Lan knew that too.
"The old man loved to play chess with people, no matter if it's Gobang or Chinese chess, as long as it's any form of chess. All the other children in our village were annoyed with him. Only Qianqian was kind and willing to play chess with him no matter what."
Yu Xuan couldn't believe that an old man from the village could have such good chess skills? Cheng Qianqian was probably highly gifted!
"By the way, you gave us all the money that you won. What about yourself?"
"I still have the prize money from the competition!" Cheng Qianqian had been thinking about that US$3 million for a very long time!
Yu Xuan held his forehead helplessly. "Silly Qianqian. One of the players who is going to compete with you tomorrow is the new world champion who is invincible in the world. The other is Teacher Guan from our school, who had won the tournament for ten years running. They are publicly acknowledged as Go saints. If you want to win the prize money from them, you are simply…"
"Forget it. I'll return the 5 million yuan to you. I don't have any use for it anyway. Just transfer the 500,000 to me."
Cheng Qianqian waved her hand. "Don't be so wishy-washy. I have my own plans. All you need to do is to make a reservation at the best hotel tomorrow and celebrate for me."
