Chapter 587: Chapter 589: Gambling Chapter 587: Chapter 589: Gambling The reporter was internally shocked, his eyes fixed on the guy in front who seed brimming with confidence. He actually said he wanted to see what results the finals would bring, didn’t that an he was sure he could make it into the finals? The reporter imdiately concluded that this guy was ambitious.
Xiao Han was already standing on the track, right in the middle lane, which was also a very advantageous lane.
Standing on the track, Xiao Han stretched a bit and imdiately began to prepare for battle.
Because of what Xiao Han had said earlier, this race was drawing extraordinary attention. Almost all ten thousand people in the venue were staring at this hundred-ter track, no one was paying attention to the field events anymore.
Everyone was extrely excited.
“Damn, whether this kid can make it to the finals is still a question!”
“I think so too!”
“If he can’t make the finals, Shuimu University will be embarrassed!”
Many people in the audience were discussing, appearing very excited and thrilled. This group was overly enthusiastic, extrely agitated, seemingly all waiting to see Shuimu University’s performance.
Xiao Han’s lips curved into a smile.
The race was about to start, the starter had already called for readiness.
Bang!
A muffled sound. The gunshot rang out. Xiao Han pushed off the starting block with his right leg and swiftly charged out.
Everyone shot off like arrows from bows, rushing forward at an extre speed.
The competitors in Xiao Han’s group were generally average in strength. The stronger competitors were distributed in the first group and a few groups following. There were no real experts. Xiao Han controlled his pace, not fast, but definitely not slow.
Finally, Xiao Han easily secured the first place in his group with a ti of ten point four three seconds, moving on to the finals.
“Damn, I actually thought he was formidable.”
“Ten point four three? Haha, what an embarrassnt, Li Changjun has ten point three zero, Zhao Sibao also has ten point three two. And he thinks he can take first place with ten point four three. What a daydrear.”
As he crossed the finish line, many people looked at Xiao Han with a strange gaze.
Xiao Han had made it to the finals, but his ti was laid bare; there were already three people with better tis than his in just the previous two groups. And Li Changjun and Zhao Sibao hadn’t even started their races yet.
“You really know how to boast!” A tall guy looked at Xiao Han with disdain and said, “You’re almost bursting your own bubble.”
Xiao Han glanced at him and asked, “What’s your na?”
“You’re not worthy of knowing my na!” The tall guy looked down on Xiao Han and then said, “Your ti isn’t as good as mine.”
“Care to bet on it?” Xiao Han sneered.
“Bet on what?” The tall guy looked at Xiao Han with contempt.
“Bet on the finals results,” Xiao Han sneered again.
“Let’s hear it, how do you want to bet?” The tall guy sneered back.
“If in the finals, your ti is worse than mine, give your number plate,” Xiao Han pointed at the number plate on the guy’s chest.
Every athlete wears a number plate on their chest and back. The number plate is the athlete’s honor, their glory. Having one’s number plate taken is a disgrace, especially if taken in such a manner.
“Fine!” The tall guy nodded.
“I’ll bet you too!” Another man ca over, flipping his stylish hair and said, “Do you dare accept?”
“Accept, why wouldn’t I!” Xiao Han sneered disdainfully.
The betting spread, and suddenly several people wanted to bet with Xiao Han. Xiao Han naturally did not refuse any challengers.
At this mont, Li Changjun had finished his race. Hearing about such a betting match, he too walked over with interest. Li Changjun was quite tall, at one ter eighty-three, with long legs, very muscular yet flexible. He was wearing a sprint suit and spiked shoes as he walked over.
“You’re Xiao Han?” Li Changjun glanced at Xiao Han.
“And you are?” Xiao Han countered.
“Are you blind?” Another athlete mocked, “You don’t recognize Li Changjun? Haha, and you dare call yourself an athlete?”
“I never pay attention to those weaker than ,” Xiao Han said indifferently, looking at them, “unless you beat .”
“I’d like to bet with you too!” Li Changjun chuckled and said, “But I won’t bet on any number plate.”
“Then what do you want to bet on?” Xiao Han looked at him, asking, “Don’t tell you want to bet on sothing flashy?”
“That’s fine!” Li Changjun smiled at Xiao Han, “How much money are you thinking of betting?”
“You na the amount.” Xiao Han glanced at him; talking about money, Xiao Han really didn’t consider him significant, because the one thing Xiao Han wasn’t short on was money. So, he completely disregarded him and just glanced at him indifferently.
“Bet a larger amount, can you afford it?” Li Changjun asked with a smile.
“How much more is that?” Xiao Han looked into his eyes, full of confidence, and completely disregarded his opponent.
“Twenty thousand yuan!” Li Changjun smiled.
“Twenty thousand?” Xiao Han was taken aback.
Clearly, when his opponent ntioned twenty thousand, Xiao Han was definitely confused. It took him a while to realize that he thought his opponent planned to bet big, but to his surprise, he had only asked for twenty thousand yuan. Xiao Han almost fainted, thinking his opponent would have asked for two hundred thousand; he couldn’t believe it was only twenty thousand yuan. Indeed, Xiao Han felt sowhat disdainful of his opponent then.
“What do you say? Can’t co up with that much?” Li Changjun looked at Xiao Han with disdain.
The people around them were also smiling and looking at Xiao Han, as if they were all watching his embarrassnt.
For them, twenty thousand yuan was already a lot. After all, they were all students, none from extrely wealthy families; under normal circumstances, wealthy families wouldn’t let their children engage in sports. Moreover, the physical quality of official and wealthy second generations clearly wasn’t good enough. They lacked the spirit of enduring hardship. Their money all ca from family allowances. Even if so earned a little extra by themselves, it was very little indeed.
Suddenly asking for twenty thousand out of the blue was indeed too much for them.
Xiao Han’s lips curled into a cold smile, then he said, “Twenty thousand is too little. Let’s bet a hundred thousand instead, since you think I will undoubtedly lose; why not just give you so money. How about that?”
Hiss…
All the people around sucked in a breath of cold air. They all turned to look at Li Changjun.
Li Changjun was also stunned for a mont, he didn’t react right away, as his opponent had counterattacked him. Li Changjun quickly regained his composure and sneered, “Can you co up with a hundred thousand yuan?”
“Just who do you think you are?”
“A hundred thousand yuan is no small amount, kid, do you have it?”
Many around them were obviously Li Changjun’s admirers, or were annoyed by Xiao Han’s previous arrogant remarks, naturally taking Li Changjun’s side and deliberately trying to belittle Xiao Han.
“I’m just asking if you want to bet.” Xiao Han snorted.
“Bet, why wouldn’t I bet?” Li Changjun laughed heartily, “Given that soone wants to give money, why wouldn’t I take it?”
“Tell , when will you gather the money?” Xiao Han replied.
“It’s just a hundred thousand yuan. I’ll have soone transfer it to my account imdiately,” Li Changjun said with a laugh.
“If that’s the case, let’s find soone authoritative to act as the notary; what do you think?” Xiao Han looked at him, then said, “We’ll hand over the money to him, and after the competition is over, the winner will be clear. Then he can give the money to one of us.”
“No problem!” Li Changjun nodded, “But who shall we find as the middleman?”
“Just find soone from the organizing committee,” Xiao Han replied.
“You’re crazy!” Li Changjun was stunned, then said, “This is a national competition, you actually want to make this kind of unwritten rule public. The organizing committee definitely won’t agree.”
“I think it’s completely fine,” Xiao Han replied, then said, “They will definitely agree.”
“What makes you so sure?” Li Changjun asked.
“Because we can explain it clearly to them,” Xiao Han smiled, “We can spur each other to realize our potential in the competition. Because money is motivation. As long as we can achieve good results, I believe the organizing committee will agree.”
“Alright, I’ll talk to them and see,” Li Changjun nodded.
Then, Li Changjun personally went to negotiate with the organizing committee. Initially, the organizing committee fiercely refused. However, after hearing the reasons from Li Changjun, the officials hesitated, and after a round of discussions, they actually agreed to Li Changjun’s proposal.
The organizing committee thought, as long as it could make Li Changjun break a new record, why not make an exception this once? So, they decided to imdiately guarantee this matter.
“Kid, you’re picking up a hundred thousand yuan just like that.”
“Tsk tsk, such a big favor, really benefits you.”
A bunch of students surrounded Li Changjun.
“Haha, I’ll treat everyone to drinks later!” Li Changjun laughed heartily.
“Great!” Everyone nodded in agreent.
Li Changjun hurriedly called a few classmates, and it took quite an effort to gather a hundred thousand yuan. He even had to pay interest on fifty thousand of it. Because Li Changjun had already decided, he felt there was absolutely no problem, and he would easily take the prize money ho the next day.
“Bring the money to the organizing committee later!” Li Changjun replied, “The organizing committee will issue you a receipt.”
“Sure!” Xiao Han nodded.
“Moreover…” Li Changjun smiled at Xiao Han, “If you lose, you must give your number plate.”
“And if you lose?” Xiao Han counterasked.
“Are you crazy?” Li Changjun snorted, then said, “How could I possibly lose?”
“People slip up, horses stumble,” Xiao Han smiled lightly, “Nobody can be a hundred percent certain they won’t lose. Right?”
Li Changjun frowned, hesitated slightly, then said, “If I lose, I will personally deliver my number plate to you on the awards podium.”
