"Brother Qi, do you have some knowledge about horse racing too?" When Brother Hui heard this, his eyes lit up, and he pushed the beauty beside him away and sat up straight.

Qi Yun laughed and waved his hand, "I wouldn't call it research, just going with the flow since I'm here and trying it out for fun."

"Haha, alright, since Brother Qi is interested, I'll arrange something for you right now." With that, Brother Hui took out his phone and dialed a number adeptly, "Hey, A-Qiang! There's a horse race tonight, right? I have a friend here who wants to place a bet, help me set it up.

"Okay, send the account number to my phone, and I'll transfer the money over later."

"Brother Qi, A-Qiang will send over the account number in a bit, you can just transfer the money directly." Brother Hui handed over a cigarette and continued, "Which horse are you planning to bet on? Let me know, to be honest, I have quite some knowledge in this area and can give you some advice."

"Brother Hui, this is my first time playing, so I don't know much about these horses." Qi Yun took the cigarette and explained with a smile, "But a friend of mine told me that horse number 4 in the 8:30 race is good, so I'm planning to invest a million to test the waters."

"If you guys are interested, you can put in a bit too."

"A million? Such a large bet?" Brother Hui was stunned, checked his phone, then looked up with a slightly strange expression, "Brother Qi, there's horse number 1 'Great Mighty Dragon' in the 8:30 race, and it has been on a 12-race winning streak."

"Your friend wouldn't be tricking you, right? A million isn't a small amount, it'd be a pity if it got washed away."

Qi Yun raised an eyebrow but still smiled easily, "Brother Hui, it's alright, I don't really enjoy playing these things. My friend said horse number 4 is definitely going to win this round, so I'll trust him this once."

Brother Hui didn't persuade further after hearing this, immediately sending over the account information.

Qi Yun picked up his phone and transferred 1.4 million to the other account, then looked at Mr. Bi and Brother Hui and said, "I've bought you guys each a stake of 200,000. If we win, the money is yours. If not, it's on me, just some fun for everyone."

Mr. Bi and Brother Hui were both taken aback when they heard this.

Brother Hui pointed at Qi Yun with a smile, "Brother Qi, I've mixed in the scene for so many years and seen all sorts of people, but folks as generous and loyal as you are rare."

"I'll remember your kindness today. As they say, if you ever encounter any trouble on Hong Kong Island in the future, Big Brother Hui will definitely handle it for you!"

Mr. Bi also patted Qi Yun on the shoulder, shaking his head with a smile, "You helped me so much yesterday, and I said I'd host you tonight, so how can I let you spend the money? I'll transfer the 1.4 million back to you later, and the winnings are yours."

Qi Yun naturally understood that for these two, twenty or thirty thousand was just a drop in the bucket.

His actions were merely a friendly gesture to strengthen their relations.

Thus, he quickly waved his hand, "Mr. Bi, there's no need for that, we're all old friends, no need to talk about help and favors."

"Besides, betting on horse racing is just for fun. Returning the money would make our relationship seem distant."

Seeing Qi Yun's sincere expression, Mr. Bi didn't insist further, nodding silently.

Then there was more drink and laughter, and the three no longer paid attention to the race, listening to Brother Hui talk about some interesting things in Hong Kong Island.

Until the time reached 20:35.

"Ding dong!"

"Ding dong!"

Brother Hui's phone on the table received several messages in quick succession.

He picked up the phone, his eyes widening instantly, and he quickly looked up at Qi Yun, shouting, "We won, horse number 4 won!"

Mr. Bi was also surprised when he heard, looking at Qi Yun with a strange expression, "Wow, it seems your friend is indeed something."

Qi Yun remained calm, appearing nonchalant, "Haha, the result of horse racing is always unpredictable, if you ask me, winning is thanks to your guys' good luck."

Brother Hui laughed heartily, giving Qi Yun's shoulder a heavy pat that almost made him stumble.

"Brother Qi, you are too interesting!"

"..."

After eating and drinking to their fill, Mr. Bi arranged for more activities, but Brother Hui had something to handle at his venue and left early.

Mr. Bi took Qi Yun to the Peninsula Hotel's spa to thoroughly unwind.

"Brother Qi, interested in a stake in my company? You put in five million, and I'll give you 5% from my shares." In the sauna room, Mr. Bi wiped the sweat off his forehead and asked.

Qi Yun was slightly stunned, not expecting such an invitation from the other.

He had heard from Shi Feng before that Mr. Bi's jewelry company had over 300 million in sales just last year.

5% in shares would yield dividends far exceeding five million. It was clearly a gesture of gratitude for yesterday, both to give him money and to enhance their relationship.

He hesitated for a moment and tentatively asked, "Mr. Bi, is this appropriate?"

Mr. Bi laughed, patting his shoulder, "Brother Qi, there's nothing inappropriate, you helped me a lot, without you, those 80 million would be gone."

"I, Bi, am not an ungrateful person. This share is nothing, and besides, we're old friends, I have faith in your abilities."

"When we go back, I'll introduce you to a few of the other shareholders, they're something else too."

Qi Yun recognized that Mr. Bi truly wanted him in his circle. Although he had some money now, compared to these top bosses, there was still quite a gap.

Such a gap wasn't just in wealth accumulation, but also in class and connections.

Without Mr. Bi's offer, forget five million, even with 20 million, he might not get those shares.

Thus, he didn't refuse, readily agreeing, "Haha, alright then, thanks a lot, Mr. Bi."

Mr. Bi smiled with satisfaction, "We're brothers, no need to be polite. Once we return, I will set up the share transfer, and you should definitely participate in company matters, give us some advice."

Qi Yun knew it was just being polite and quickly waved it off, "I'm an outsider, just not causing trouble is enough. In future, if you need me for anything, just let me know."

"Brother Qi, you're too modest. I believe in your ability, even if you're an outsider, sometimes an outside view can see what we overlook."

"..."

After relaxing, Mr. Bi handed him a room card, with a mysterious smile, "There's a surprise in the room." With that, he waved and left first.

Qi Yun took the room card, paused for a moment, and took the elevator to the 28th floor.

"Beep!" The room door opened, and the lighting inside was ambiguous.

A rich and subtle fragrance wafted to his nose.

Soon, there were two soft exclamations of "Annyeong" beside his ears.

...

Five minutes later, Qi Yun took a shower and lay on the sofa smoking a cigarette.

Although the two Korean models were really sexy, compared to Wang Fei, there was still quite a gap, and he wasn't in the mood to engage.

Moreover, expending energy outside, where would there be strength left to go home tomorrow?

Since the return flight tomorrow was at 11 a.m., he hesitated to check today's intel messages, lest they were all about Hong Kong Island, leaving him short on time to handle it.

At that moment, the phone beside him suddenly lit up, and a WeChat message came into view.

"Boss, are you still interested in investing in my game? My official version is ready now, all that's missing is servers and bandwidth."

Qi Yun then remembered, the night before going to the desert, there was intel about a game, he even played it, then forgot all about it.

He took a drag of his cigarette and replied, "Come to my office tomorrow afternoon to talk face to face, I'll send you the address."

The game was quite interesting, and at this stage only needed a 50,000 investment, which was worth a try.

...

The next day, Brother Hui personally sent Qi Yun and Mr. Bi to the airport, and the three parted at the terminal.

Brother Hui patted Qi Yun on the shoulder, seriously saying, "Brother Qi, don't worry about that little Japanese issue, I'll continue to have people watch him, he won't leave Hong Kong Island. Also, if you ever need anything here, feel free to call me."

Qi Yun smiled gratefully, "Thanks, Brother Hui, let's keep in touch."

Brother Hui nodded, then bid farewell to Mr. Bi.

Neither mentioned Jiang Yue nor that cousin, leaving Qi Yun unsure of their outcome...

The airplane cut through the sky, and five hours later, Qi Yun changed from wearing a t-shirt to donning an overcoat.
