Chapter 676: Chapter 676: Joining Shares
"You’re really going? Don’t do it, you already have twenty million in hand, why bother making yourself uncomfortable? Besides, isn’t the person you’re looking for right in front of you! If we leave now, believe it or not, that bastard will definitely send people to deal with us. This is not an opportunity." Shao Ming disapproved of Bai Xiao going to the Third District.
"Shao Ming, what do you know? I guarantee that after we enter, I’ll give you a twenty percent share of all the jade betting income. How about that?" Shao Ming had his eyes wide open at the sight of money and couldn’t resist hefty profits. This man might even be a hindrance to her, but the problem was that she still needed Shao Ming now.
Shao Ming’s eyeballs twirled excitedly—twenty percent! My god, if she could get a few tens of millions once inside, wouldn’t that twenty percent be several million? That was just too good of a deal.
His expression brightened, and he said seriously, "Doctor Bai! Rest assured, I will definitely stick with you to the end today. Wherever you say we go, we’ll go. Whatever you say to do, we’ll do. Wading through fire and water is nothing I’d shy from."
Bai Xiao almost burst into laughter.
Shao Ming was really a good person, one of the few who could take his greed for money to the extreme.
"Who asked you to wade through fire and water? It’s just taking a walk inside, let’s go."
Shao Ming stretched out his arm with an arrogant charm. After all, she was the God of Wealth, pah, the Goddess of Wealth.
Goddess!
"Doctor Bai, I want to join in too, I want a stake," Baldy insisted, staying close behind, refusing to leave.
As a matter of fact, Baldy didn’t look too bad. If one looked closely, he appeared quite dignified—aside from his beer belly, he had no real faults. He had also been quite enthusiastic, offering help several times even though they were complete strangers. Such enthusiastic people were indeed rare, so Bai Xiao treated it as repaying a favor.
"Having borrowed your things, I ought to repay the favor. Once inside, I’ll give you a twenty percent share." Bai Xiao was definitely someone who repaid kindness.
Baldy’s face turned red with excitement.
"Doctor Bai! Then, buy a few more pieces. I’ll put in the money, I’ll pay—isn’t that okay?"
"Baldy, you’re really not afraid of losing money, huh? Is everyone in this line of work so easily trusting of others? How on earth have you survived up till now? I’m seriously doubtful." Although Bai Xiao didn’t understand the jade betting industry, she knew well enough that the industry’s complexity absolutely didn’t allow for easily trusting others. Trusting someone else might mean never knowing how you’d end up dead.
Yet Baldy trusted her right from the start, even offering his capital.
This inevitably made Bai Xiao suspicious.
Baldy shook his head, "I trust you, I trust you. I’ve been following right behind you all the way, Doctor Bai. With your impressive skills, if I don’t trust you, it’s like I’m turning my back on money."
The three of them talked and headed straight for the Third District, with Xiaodao and Bai Mei following closely behind.
When they reached the entrance to the Third District.
Here, every person entering must first verify that there are at least five million in their account, otherwise, they wouldn’t even dream of getting in.
Today, Xiaodao hadn’t brought that much money. Although he gambled on stones, it was just dabbling. He’d had his fair share of tumbles in the world of jade betting over the years and had developed a habit of never carrying too much money for betting in one go; otherwise, with the gambling nature of desperadoes like them, they would have ruined their families who knows how many times by now.
This was the only method he employed to restrain himself.
Watching Bai Xiao and the others go in, he felt a tinge of regret. The merchandise inside the Third District could easily be worth millions or even tens of millions, and he had never experienced anything like that. He was genuinely curious about what kind of luck Doctor Bai would have there.
He quietly slipped some money to the staff member and whispered a few words. The person nodded in agreement.
