NOVPUBThe race concluded, and after Jacky and Long Wu had already finalized the distribution of the new film, they took Nangong to the Horse Club to handle the paperwork for the transfer of ownership. Suming paid another more than one hundred thousand in miscellaneous fees. After the trip, Sea Mimi would be sent over specially to accompany them back to Yangchuan City.
Sea Mimi’s jockey was a young English lad named ’Tony’, with a pair of azure eyes and short, naturally curly blonde hair. Skinny and short, if it weren’t for the lack of facial hair, one could easily throw him into Monkey Mountain and pass him off as a big monkey.
Tony was even younger than Suming, only 22 this year, but his Mandarin was quite fluent with a surprising hint of a Tianjin accent.
"If you’re willing, how about continuing as Sea Mimi’s jockey?" Suming figured that with his own build, it was impossible for him to ride Sea Mimi in a race.
Nangong wouldn’t work either, not because she was a woman, but because she belonged to the fiery type with long legs and height******—unless she was willing to reduce her bust size to 34A. Given her current height of nearly one meter seventy and a weight slightly over one hundred, she was a bit heavy for horse racing.
What a joke, if Nangong was willing, Suming wouldn’t be! Between Sea Mimi and Sea Mimi, any man with a sane mind would know which to choose! Without Sea Mimi, what’s there to be happy about? That only leaves unhappiness!
"You still trust me?" Tony was somewhat surprised. To anyone, Sea Mimi’s blunder today was inseparable from the jockey.
This young new horse owner in front of him didn’t hesitate at all to invite him to continue as the jockey, and Tony suddenly felt like he had met a true leader.
Suming wanted to say a few words of encouragement, but thought it sounded too fake; after all, when there’s a problem with the horse, it certainly involved the jockey.
Moreover, Long Wu had only a general interest in racing, and the jockey Tony he found was second-rate material, who even seemed to be working part-time while studying at Xiangjiang University of Chinese. Meeting Tony for the first time and talking about trust, Suming didn’t even believe it himself.
Suming sighed, patting the big monkey’s shoulder. "Tony, this isn’t about trust. I just don’t have anyone else to choose from. Can you recommend someone else?"
Tony was stunned and looked at Suming for a long while before heaving a sigh, "Well, honesty is also a virtue, after all."
Although Tony was mediocre, Sea Mimi still had great potential, at least in being perceptive.
When he saw Suming and Nangong arrive, he wagged his tail, leaving a trail of footprints in the sand, trotting up to them without paying any attention to Tony. Instead, he lowered his head and affectionately nuzzled Suming’s face with his big head.
During the races earlier, Suming had communicated with Sea Mimi using his spiritual power, making Suming seem like a close friend to Sea Mimi at this moment.
Nangong was eager to climb onto Sea Mimi’s back, and despite several attempts, she couldn’t get on due to the horse’s large stature.
"You definitely won’t be satisfied today, but once we get back to Yangchuan, I’ll take you riding by the reservoir in the mountains," Suming chuckled. Visitors were not allowed to ride horses at the racetrack, even horse owners couldn’t ride on the track on race days,
Nangong was persistent, looping her arms around Sea Mimi’s neck and made Suming take seven or eight photos before she was willing to give up.
Sea Mimi probably wanted to show affection or something and extended its purple tongue to lick Nangong’s face, which earned him a stern lecture from Suming. I haven’t even had the chance to do that; when was it your turn, kid?!!
"Wow, I told you they were fated, it’s like in a previous life Sea Mimi already knew them," laughed Jacky.
Long Wu watched the scene from the side, too depressed to speak.
He had spent money on this horse for over a year and visited often, but Sea Mimi had never shown such intimate behavior.
"Brother Ten, the key is your aura is too strong!" Suming said with certainty.
"It’s passed down in the family; I can’t help it," Long Wu joked for once.

...
Everyone headed home, each to their own mother. Leaving the racetrack, it was already close to midnight, and the streets of Happy Valley were still bustling with people, the lights bright, as the nightlife of this city that never sleeps was just starting.
The night breeze blew as Suming and Nangong reminisced about the events at the racetrack, which seemed like a dream.
They came to see the stars, and not only did they see the stars, but they even met the big bosses behind most of Xiangjiang’s stars!
They wanted to gamble on horses, and in the end, they directly won a horse!
"And also, also the over forty million…" Nangong could hardly stand steady, hanging onto Suming, gazing into the night sky with an expression full of a sentiment called ’money craziness’, mumbling, "When we get back, we’ll train Sea Mimi well, and then win all their money..."
"Little money grubber, hold onto your purse!"
The more than seven hundred thousand won earlier was rolled up and stuffed into Nangong’s handbag, making good use of her three-thousand-yuan Kun bag for the day.
Clutching the strap, Nangong swung her purse like a big windmill, twirling and chanting, "Seventy-some thousand, all soggy!"
Now that her boyfriend had suddenly come into forty million, Nangong was very arrogant—she’d be flying if she had wings.
...
People who don’t spend their money are bastards! Those who act frugal after making money are just show-offs! They won’t be wronged even if they’re struck by lightning.
He called the tour guide directly and told them we wouldn’t be staying at the travel agency’s assigned hotel from tomorrow onward!
A hotel without sea-view rooms, is that even fit for people? To get up early in the morning, sit in a car for an hour just to get to Disney Park, is that acceptable treatment? Please, we’re here to travel, not to ride buses!
Change it, all of it. All staff from the zoo, start moving base from tomorrow, relocating to the hotel at Disney Park!
What, the previous hotel was booked for five days, so even if we don’t stay, the money for the remaining days will not be refunded by the travel agency?
If it wasn’t for the phone call, Suming would have used his big palms to slap them across the face!
Who told you to refund? Did I ever say that? Traveling is about spending money, and you’re fussing over this little sum with me for half a day? I’m dealing with hundreds of thousands in a second, do you think I care about your lodging fee? It’s simply an insult to the mainland tycoons!
Mr. Zhang was on the verge of tears, where could he find such a good tour group? If all tourists were like this, there would be no forced shopping, no shady tour guides!
He made a phone call to his mom, saying outright, "Mom, I won a lottery."
"Ah?" On the other end of the line, his mom was stunned, followed by, "You sound like it’s quite a bit, did you win tens of thousands?"
"Hahaha, Mom, add a ’hundred’ in front of the ’tens’." Suming laughed wildly. He was still afraid of startling the old lady, after all, in the eyes of the older generation, winning a 500,000-dollar prize meant a life of ease.
His mom fell silent for a while before saying something Suming never expected, "Now that you’ve won the lottery, don’t work so hard to make money. Take care of your health."
What else could he say, his tears nearly fell.
There were things he wanted to say but was afraid to bring up too soon, worried about being scolded for wasting money.
He called his uncle Su Desheng, asking him to find someone to tidy up his mother’s house back in his hometown, and by tidying up, he meant building a proper villa.
Then he called Zhao Yun.
"What? Say that again!" Zhao Yun, woken by Suming from his sleep, thought he had heard wrong.
Suming repeated it.
"Buy a helicopter, you have money to burn?"
"I’m buying a helicopter to conveniently visit my mom often!" Suming gave an irrefutable reason.
"Okay, I admit you have a point. Of course, I know friends in aviation..."
He was nearly defeated by Zhao Yun; there seemed to be no industry this guy couldn’t find a connection in. Suming reckoned that if it wasn’t for the country’s restrictions on selling nuclear bombs, even Mr. Jin would probably be able to buy a couple from Zhao Yun.
"A small helicopter isn’t expensive, there are ones for several hundred thousand to over a million, the cheapest being two hundred thousand. The problem is the yearly maintenance costs can also run into the hundreds of thousands. Buying one is just asking for trouble."
"What kind of talk is that? How is going home to see my mom a burden?"
"All right, all right. You’re tough, I got it. But where did you get so much money from?"
"The people of Xiangjiang are too enthusiastic, when they heard I was traveling, they lined up to give me money!" Suming laughed heartily.
"You must have won on the horses or the Mark Six lottery." Zhao Yun’s mind was indeed sharp, guessing almost correctly at once, but he wasn’t envious. Yawning, he said, "I’ll continue sleeping then, and I’ll help you ask about the plane tomorrow."
"It’s buying a plane, not ’flying a kite’!" Suming reminded.
"Flying a kite, pervert! Looking for death?"
A pillow flew from the distance of the luxurious room, hitting Suming precisely on the head. Nangong, wrapped in a large bath towel, revealing rounded shoulders, walked out of the bathroom and glared at Suming, "Why haven’t you gone back to your own room to sleep?"
"With things as they are now, if I leave, wouldn’t I be worse than a beast?!" Suming declared righteously.
