Chapter 1042 - She Has Always Had a Good Eye

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The number one position at Dutian Racecourse had always been reserved for Gu Tingyin’s Brightmoon.

For so many years, although Brightmoon has long since stopped competing, she still occupied the first position.

And now, Qingfeng had become number two.

The annual horse race event lasted for three days. During this period, because several races would be held, more than one champion horse would be born.

Qingfeng had made a name for himself last year, but in fact, there had been another champion horse who had also won first place.

The reason he was ranked second was obviously because of Shen Li.

“Speaking of which, it’s been a long time since I went to see Qingfeng,” Shen Li said.

Gu Tinglan smiled and said, “Anyway, now that you’re back, you’ll have plenty of time. If you miss him, just go straight to the racecourse. I’m sure he misses you a lot.”

Shen Li nodded. “I plan to go there this afternoon.”

The maid brought over some scones and two cups of peach juice.

Shen Li picked up the cup and took a sip. The cold and sweet taste spread between her lips and her teeth.

She continued to flip through the pages.

After she finished reading, Gu Tinglan asked, “What do you think? Other than Qingfeng, are there any other horses that you like?”

This information had been specially compiled. The racecourse had made a comprehensive judgment based on the horse race’s various aspects and had specially marked out all the horses that had a hope of winning the championship.

The one that would be presented to the members, however, would not be marked in this way.

Shen Li deliberated for a moment before saying,

“Number 7, number 11, and number 16 seem to be pretty good. However, I’ll have to see it with my own eyes to judge.”

Hearing this, Gu Tinglan’s eyebrows lifted slightly as he leaned back and smiled.

“Ah Li, your taste in this aspect is really superb. According to the feedback from the racecourse, these few horses are indeed the best.”

Eight horses had been marked as champions, but there was actually a difference in strength.

He had not expected Shen Li to be able to pick the ones with the greatest hope of winning just by looking at the information on paper.

Shen Li held the cup in her hand.

“I’m just lucky.”

This was not just luck.

“I remember that you won a few bets at the horse race event last year, right?” Gu Tinglan asked with a smile. “It’s a pity that you only took 100,000 yuan to bet with. Otherwise, you would have made a big profit.”

At that time, he had given Shen Li an S-class membership card. Shen Li played back and forth with the 100,000 yuan.

He had seen her records at that time. There had been wins and losses, but most of them had still been wins.

“Your win rate at that time was definitely more than 90% of the people.”

There were many people who would participate in horse betting at the horse races every year, but there were still very few who could reach her win rate.

Shen Li smiled and said casually, “A newbie’s luck will always be better. Moreover, compared to that person called Saint, I still have a long way to go.”

Strictly speaking, she had bet more times than him, and she had won all of them. Compared to Saint, who had only bet on the last match, she was actually slightly better.

Unfortunately, her capital had been too low, so in the end, she still had not earned as much as him.

Gu Tinglan could not help but laugh.

“Well, he is an SSS member, after all. He has bet on horses for several years. He can be considered a veteran with rich experience. There were so many people betting on horses at the horse race last year, and he won the most bets. This kind of person… Why would you want to compete with him?”

Shen Li took another sip of peach juice, but did not say anything.

Gu Tinglan was not too bothered by this and said, “If there’s no problem, this information will then be distributed.”

Shen Li nodded. “Okay. Thank you, Uncle.”

“There’s no need to stand on ceremony with me.”

As Gu Tinglan said this, his phone suddenly rang.

He glanced at it and saw that it was a call from his clinic.

He walked to the side and picked it up. “Hello.”

Shen Li picked up the schedule of the horse race event again and looked at it.

Gu Tinglan was on the phone for a few minutes. Shen Li vaguely heard something that seemed to be related to his clinic.

After a while, Gu Tinglan ended the phone call and came back.

Shen Li looked at his expression and asked, “Little Uncle, is there something wrong?”

“Nothing.”

Gu Tinglan shook his head,

“There’s just a patient who specifically wants to see me for a psychological consultation.”

However, he would be staying in Hong Kong City for some time, so naturally, he could not go back to see anyone.

The other party was being a little stubborn and had been staying at the clinic, insisting that he wanted to wait for him.

The assistant had been forced to give Gu Tinglan a call to prove that he really did not have the time when the patient had tried to persuade him to go back.

As a doctor, it was inevitable that he would encounter all kinds of patients.

Gu Tinglan had been in this industry for a few years and this was not the first time he had encountered such a situation.

He put his phone away.

“If there are no other problems, this matter will continue to proceed as usual. You don’t have to worry too much.”

Shen Li’s peach blossom eyes curved beautifully as she smiled.

“Thank you, Little Uncle.”

…

The Capital, Lu Corporation.

In the office, Lu Huaiyu was flipping through the contract in his hand.

Yi Bin said,?“Second Master, Yu Media’s production of ‘Fantasy God Chronicles’ is trying to cooperate with our theater chains. They hope that we can give them more shares.”

Lu Huaiyu put down the contract and asked calmly, “What about Shengguang Media?”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Yi Bin was stunned.

“Shengguang didn’t say anything because they’ve already signed a contract with us. No matter what, we will be giving them a certain number of screenings for their movie.”

“Yu Media wants to monopolize the theater resources, but Shengguang Media didn’t say anything?”

Lu Huaiyu raised his eyebrows,

“As far as I know, the other major theater chains in the country have already expressed their intentions and are planning to allocate the majority of the screenings to Yu Media. Shengguang Media’s movie should be released at the same time as theirs, right?”

Yi Bin hesitated for a moment before he said, “That’s right. “But Second Master, Yu Media’s “Fantasy God Chronicles” is much better than Shengguang Media’s “Chasing the Light”, both in terms of investment and cast. These two projects are not on the same level at all. Shengguang probably isn’t competing because they know they can’t win, right?”

The industry had high expectations for “Fantasy God Chronicles”.

Lu Huaiyu lowered his eyes, deep in thought. After a while, he tapped his slender fingers on the table.

“I’m rejecting the collaboration with Yu Media. The theater resources will still be reserved for Shengguang Media.”

Yi Bin was shocked.

“Second Master?”

Lu Huaiyu leaned back in his chair with a lazy smile on his lips.

“Shengguang Media’s President has always had good taste.”
