Chapter 46: Open Your Heart
Everyone gathered around the stands because the game was about to start.
Only Su Xiji was sitting next to the bar, drinking alone.
But Su Xiji is not alone, there is an old cowboy wearing jeans and a cowboy hat by his side.
The cowboy was holding a large vat of beer in his hand and smiled at Su Xiji.
"Are you Chinese?"
The old cowboy asked.
Su Xiji was surprised that this person dressed in such an American style could speak Chinese.
"Yes, you speak Chinese very well. Have you lived in China?"
The cowboy shook his head regretfully and said, "No, my grandmother is Chinese." I haven't been to China though. ”
"You should go when you have time, it's a beautiful country. ”
"I know...... I know!
You just bet on the lightning rod, didn't you?"
Su Xiji smiled helplessly and said, "Yes, you also think I'm stupid, don't you?"
The old cow took a big sip of beer and said, "No, I don't think so.
Hello, my name is Chris Cooper, the owner of the lightning rod. ”
Su Xiji should have thought a long time ago that there was a person in a denim suit abruptly mixed in this crowd of suits and leather shoes, who should be the owner of the lightning rod.
Chris happily said, "Sir, whatever reason you believe in the lightning rod, rest assured, it will not disappoint you." ”
After saying that, the cowboy picked up his glass and walked to the stands.
The race began, and eight horses rushed out like thunder and lightning.
Everyone knows that starting doesn't mean anything, because the explosiveness of a horse is difficult to show in the first place.
But by the time I got to 100 meters, I was already able to tell the difference.
Sure enough, at a hundred meters, two horses were in the lead.
One is thunder and the other is a lightning rod.
This result caught everyone off guard, and everyone looked at the owner of the horse in surprise - Chris Cooper.
And old Cooper just looked at the arena lightly, as if all this was expected by him.
Su Xiji also noticed people's abnormal reactions, and immediately stood up and walked to the glass.
The lightning rod is indeed a lame horse, as all four of his horses have different leg lengths.
Traditionally, this horse is a disabled horse.
But God's creation is so magical, and the lightning rod knows the distance of the horse's leg disability, which is exactly the perfect proportion.
This allows the lightning rod to perform a series of cornering maneuvers better than other horses, just like the shock absorber of a car.
In addition to the damage to the horse's hooves, the lightning rod does not lose lightning in the muscles of the whole body.
Soon, the horses were nearing the finish line.
Lightning rods and lightning go hand in hand, no one will let anyone, and the less than 300 meters before the finish line is the final decisive battle.
At this time, Cooper Sr.'s mastery of horseback training was revealed.
He trains the lightning rod specifically to bring out the best in the final moments of the race.
Clearly, Cooper Sr. succeeded, and the lightning rod crossed the finish line one head ahead.
The second-floor box was silent, and no one expected it, and they wouldn't have expected it at all.
They all stared blankly at Cooper and Su Xiji.
The two men smiled at each other and returned to the bar, each raising his glass and toasting.
After more than ten seconds, Lu Yan reacted and came to Su Xiji's side excitedly.
"Su Xiji, you're such a genius!" Lu Yan hugged Su Xiji.
Subsequently, the scene resounded with warm applause.
Half is for old Cooper's clever horse taming skills, and the other half is for Su Xiji's courage.
Su Xiji didn't have any waves in his heart, because when he ran to a hundred meters, Su Xiji already believed that the system would never lie to him, and it was just a false alarm.
After a morning of refreshment, he calmed down and enjoyed the applause with old Cooper.
After the applause subsided, the owner of the racecourse, Maximo, walked over and shook hands with Cooper Sr. and Su Xiji one by one.
"Gentlemen, I have to say, it was a surprising game, congratulations. “
Amber followed behind Maximo and generously extended her right hand.
She said to old Cooper, "Sir, you are an outstanding horse breeder, and I am willing to bow down." ”
I can hear that Amber's words are not dry, but they are full of respect.
"Miss Schmidt, if it weren't for your lightning as a target, I don't think the lightning rod would have reached the heights it is today. ”
Hearing this, the two looked at each other and smiled.
After that, Amber looked at Su Xiji and said, "Mr. Su, I hope that the brokerage company is it? I think I probably know your intentions."
You're a man of guts, but you know what? In the World League, guts alone are not enough. ”
Su Xiji looked at this beauty, suppressed his instinctive impulse, and said as rationally as possible:
"You're right, guts alone are not enough, but guts are not enough. ”
Amber smiled and said, "Two gentlemen, I have a party at eight o'clock tonight, and you are welcome to come. ”
With that, Amber put on her coat and walked out of the house with her entourage.
Glenn looked at Lu Xiang and slapped his hands with Lu Xiang with relief.
The two of them returned to the bar and asked for another round of drinks.
"Mr. Su, I still can't figure out how you decided to take the lightning rod. ”
Su Xiji said mysteriously: "This is the same reason as my decision to sign Hilde, it all depends on my eyesight."
How can you make money without extraordinary eyesight when you open a brokerage company?"
Lu Yan raised his glass with a smile and said:
"Mr. Su, to be honest, when I entered the company, I was still skeptical.
Like everyone else, I think you're a stupid boy with a newborn calf who isn't afraid of tigers.
But in less than two months, you have refreshed my perception again and again.
I'm now starting to believe that your original vision may actually come true!"
When Su Xiji heard this, he was not upset, because he knew very well how many catties and taels he had, and he said with a smile:
"Lao Lu, in the future, in private places, you don't call me Mr. Su or boss, after all, you are older than me.
You can call me Hope, or call me Xiao Su. ”
At this time, Su Xiji could be regarded as opening his heart to Lu Yan.
Because of the previous sentence, Su Xiji knew that it was Lu Yan who opened his heart to him first.
"Yes, hopefully. Although the difficulty of this matter is still there, we can at least talk to Amber, maybe we can work hard at night, and this thing can be done. ”
Su Xiji shook his head and said, "I don't think it's that simple, have you seen Amber's eyes?"
"I see. ”
"Do you think you've seen it somewhere?"
"Where?"
"I feel that his eyes are simply an upgraded and strengthened version of Li Jiaer.
Generally this kind of woman is very difficult to deal with, believe me. ”
Su Xiji was not complacent and warned Lu Xiang.
