s.She walked carefully, afraid of being seen. But from afar, she saw a man squatting in the corner of the grass, constantly smoking.Dong Xiaoxiao just wanted to take a step back, how come it's so late...300 meters, in front of world-famous horses, that's only 18 or 19 seconds. In front of top-tier world champions like Wind and Fire, Holy Light, Flame Thorns, Bloodhoof, Azure Flame, Golden Arrow, and Skywing Horse, it would be even less, estimated to be 2 to 3 seconds earlier.
What can you do in less than 20 seconds
Here, countless people's jobs, futures, and even the lives of some can be decided.
"Oh no! Qing Yan was eaten!"
"Damn it! That damn jockey in the fire wind is too insidious. He actually pushed Qingyan outwards, making it run a longer distance!"
Wang Hao and Jiang Jun saw the scene and began to gnash their teeth.
Xu Jie also started cursing: "Damn it! It's definitely intentional, they didn't even let us get a good spot!"
In long-distance horse races, getting a good position on the turns is key. A well-executed turn can shave off precious seconds, allowing a horse to exit the bend with momentum and accelerate faster. This difference of mere fractions of a second can make all the difference in a tight race.
Here, it's not just milliseconds that matter, even fractions of a millisecond can be fatal.
"Final sprint!"
Cheng Feihu looked at the fire in the wind and the blue flames with a touch of despair.
It has to be said, these two horses are among the finest racehorses of today. Especially today, they both ran at the world's top level, a speed that could challenge the world's best. Even if they fail this time, they will gain widespread attention and a steady stream of wealth.
However, Cheng Feihu couldn't feel happy. Because after this loss, not only would his assets shrink significantly, but Zhou You and their company would also be nearly bankrupt. Meanwhile, their enemy could confront them with an even more arrogant attitude. At that time, it wouldn't be money that could make up for it.
"We're going to lose!"
In the final hundred meters, Huozi still stubbornly clung to half a horse's head distance in the wind. No matter how hard Qingyan tried, he just couldn't catch up.
At this point, Cheng Feihǔ felt even more disheartened.
"It exploded!"
"My goodness! Qingyan actually still has room to spare at this time!"
Wang Hao and Jiang Jun suddenly shouted, giving Cheng Feihua's desperate heart back.
At the next moment, Xu Jie saw a scene of despair: the fire in the wind seemed to be stimulated, and it actually broke out again under impossible circumstances, pressing down on Qing Yan's body that was about to surpass.
"It's over!"
"It's over for real!"
Cheng Feihu and Xu Jie looked ashen. The most terrifying thing in the world was to give you a glimmer of hope in despair, and then have it vanish before your eyes.
At this moment, Zhou You suddenly stood up.
His attention was not on the Qingyan, but fixed on the Fire in the Wind as if it were his sworn enemy. That chill, that killing intent, even Cheng Feihǔ and the others beside him were startled and wanted to flee. Dzhi and Agam, who were closest to Zhou You, were even more terrified.
Such a tour isn't a real tour at all.
Hush!
Tian Ci suddenly let out a deafening roar, and charged down.
But in an instant, Tianci drew a perfect, flawless arc in the air and drifted away. Almost at the same time, almost to the brink of despair, Qingyan miraculously caught up with Fenglihuo, the two horses running side by side.
"Crossed the line!"
"Simultaneously cross the finish line!"
"The naked eye can't tell the difference at all, we have to rely on electronic eyes!"
The radio crackled with furious roars, and the whole racecourse erupted in a cacophony of noise.
In the surging crowd, Zhou You's body seemed to suddenly lose its support and went limp. His eyes were lifeless, but the smile on his lips was undeniable.
"I'm so tired! But I can finally rest now!"
Thus, Zhou You closed his eyes, as if in a deep sleep, sitting serenely on the seat. He gradually vanished into the surging crowd.
……
……
Several years later.
Mingyuan City, with a strong humanistic atmosphere, is like a garden.
In the Du family stable, a petite figure leaped into the arms of a young man who looked very elegant and well-mannered. The little mouth kept shouting "Daddy" and similar words.
“My darling!”
The man picked up the boy and gave him a hearty kiss on his little cheek. "My little treasure, why did you suddenly run over here Don't you hate walking with your dad"
The child replied, "But Xiao Song really likes riding Da Hei! Mom said that when I grow up, I will ride Da Hei and become the world's best jockey, just like Dad!"
"Travel around!"
Wang Hao, Jiang Jun, Xu Jie, Cheng Feihǔ and others came together, forming a large lineup.
Yes, the person holding the child is Zhouyou.
Zhouyou greeted everyone with a smile.
Wang Hao looked at Zhou You, who was still full of energy, and sighed with admiration: “You’re still the same as ever, so young. Look at us, we don't know how many years older we've become in these years. The other day someone even called me 'uncle'!”
Zhou You smiled and said, “I reminded you a few years ago not to work so hard and delegate some things to the people below you.”
Jiang Jun roared, "Don't stand there and talk nonsense! You, the manager of Longque Tower, manage things thoroughly. Tell me yourself, how many times have you been here this year If we all acted like you, Longque Tower wouldn't be what it is today."
Xu Jie smiled and said, "But the problem is that Zhou You's attitude of not suspecting anyone, everyone using a suspicious approach, that's why his museum can attract nearly 14 million visitors from the entire city, and his Qianjun Group has become a super multinational group worth 500 billion. Even your three-person Longque Lou benefited from this because it completely delegated power, allowing it to reach the top in the country."
"That's true too!"
Wang Hao and Jiang Jun were speechless.
Okay, let's not dwell on these topics anymore. Let's get to the point.
Huang Jianming, Ma Fatzi, Jiang Hailu, Hu Zong, Li Yidao, Zheng Minglang, Lin Huihuang, Zhang Lao (Mr. Zhang), Jin Boss and others all walked out. Huang Jianming asked, “Xiao You, the jade market has finally stabilized. Now with the increasing scarcity of jade resources and the depletion of old sources, the market seems to be returning to its previous upward trajectory. What are your plans”
Ma Fatzi also chimed in: "You've been out of the jade gambling world for several years, and no one recognizes you anymore. Even the accounts of Jade King and Jade Saint aren't selling well, the atmosphere is chaotic, you should step up and maintain order."
Zhou You thought for a moment and then smiled back, "Since that's the case, I do need to go out and clarify some boundaries. When Lao Ma and Lao Fang gave me the shield, it wasn't to let me sit idly by and watch the show. So, I'll be participating in both the Pingzhou open market in this realm and the Myanmar open market."
Everyone let out a sigh of relief.
The jade market hasn't been doing well in recent years. Some businesses are barely breaking even or even operating at a loss, while others have shifted their sales strategies and put jade aside temporarily. But now that the hot market is back, it's time to fully mobilize and start harvesting like crazy again.
Cheng Feihǔ saw an opening and quickly chimed in, "You guys shouldn't keep talking about this. Xiao Yóu, you promised us several years ago that you would give us an answer. Can you reveal the truth now"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Xu Jie sighed: "At that time, we were all disheartened, but when Tian Ci appeared, the situation reversed. Qing Yan won against Feng Li Huo by a tiny margin, just half a thumb's width, in the last moment, creating a small upset."
Jiang Hailiu continued, “After that incident, your single battle directly harvested funds worth 40 billion RMB, making your total assets instantly exceed the trillion mark, becoming a veritable small tycoon. Your name became internationally renowned. Meanwhile, your opponents disappeared from sight. Especially Jimmy Lee's father, the so-called Asian regional manager of the American Flag Bank, was directly fired. Now he is a pariah in the industry, with no one willing to hire him. He is down on his luck.”
Zhou Yu remained silent, and countered with: "What about the Songling Group What about Songling Haoer"
Jiang Hai Liu replied, "The Songling Group has offended many people. Its industry in the United States has encountered setbacks and its development in recent years hasn't been good; there are signs of decline. As for Songling Haoer, he seems to have been sent by the Songling family to a small company to spend his retirement."
Zhou Yu toured with a slight smile, but said nothing.
Cheng Feihu pressed, “Xiaoyu, reveal the answer!”
"Yeah..."
Everyone agreed.
Zhou You organized for a long time, without speaking, but instead made a gesture to the sky.
Hush!
Heaven's grace descends.
At this time, the celestial gift is undoubtedly the king of the sky. Its formidable body with a wingspan exceeding 3 meters, its eyes so sharp they could cut like a knife, and its beak, as sharp as it can pierce through a 1 centimeter thick iron sheet, would make anyone feel a chill down their spine. Only Zhou You could be with it, walk alongside it so closely.
Xu Jie questioned, "Is it a gift from heaven"
Zhou You returned: "It is and it isn't!"
Cheng Feihu asked, “Speak slowly, you've confused me.”
Zhou Youhui said: "Animals, even genetically engineered animals, are born with the keen senses of wild beasts, a perception of danger that surpasses our comprehension, a supernatural sensitivity. And the more spiritual an animal is, the sharper its senses, the more sensitive it is to this."
People are still a bit confused, and only Xu Jie has shown some signs.
Zhou You could only continue, "And purebred horses are very sensitive and easily influenced by their surroundings. Let alone being targeted by predators, even a little mouse running past them, even if their eyes and ears were covered, they could still keenly detect it."
"I understand."
Xu Jie clapped his hands and laughed, the knot that had troubled him for years finally unraveled.
But Cheng Feihua and the others were still at a stage of half-understanding, but Zhou You and Xu Jie didn't seem to have any intention of further explaining. Cheng Feihua and the others could only rely on themselves to understand and guess.
"Dad!"
Another little girl ran up.
Next, two more breathtakingly beautiful women came over, each holding a child. They looked at Zhou You, especially the large crowd surrounding him, and both broke into radiant, sweet smiles.
The little girl who had just run over tugged at Zhou You's trousers and pointed at the twin dragons playing with pearls pendant on Zhou Song's chest, asking: "Daddy, why doesn't Linlin have such a beautiful jade pendant if my brother has one"
"Yes, there will be!"
Zhou You lifted Zhou Lin into his arms and smiled, replying, “Even if I couldn't, Dad would bring it to life and give it to our beautiful little Zhou Lin!”
"Dad is the best!"
Zhou Lin sweetly kissed Zhou You on the cheek.
"Haha..."
Zhou You walked away happily, saying as he went, "Little Linlin, Dad's going home now. I'll see what jade we have at home that's suitable for carving!"
"This guy..."
Everyone saw Zhou Yu off, their expressions full of joy.
Thank you all for accompanying me through these 9 months.
As friends who have read my preface know, my coming here was by chance. But after nine months of writing, chance turned into taking root. I met many enthusiastic readers and also encountered many difficulties.
Perhaps you don't know, I was attacked by a drunkard months ago and almost got killed. My hand is left with a hideous scar. Although that time was swept under the rug by some departments who "needed money," it has always been a thorn in my side, leading to my poor writing state and speed ever since.
But now everything is over, people should look forward, the next book hopes everyone can continue to support me, let me go further.
I just created a temporary contact group: 210161259, hoping everyone can still come in and chat.tion.He was laughing heartily at the back, blissfully unaware of how comfortable he was.Today, a new girl came to the shopping mall of Fei'an Group. She was about seventeen or eighteen years old. Her...
