Chapter 36 Gambling
The rich family smells of wine and meat, and there are bones that are frozen to death on the road.
Ancient philosophies would appear in any era.
On that day, when the people of the Supreme Lord Langdi were fighting for life and carefully distributing every portion of food for survival, the wealthy families in the upper class were still living a drunken and dreamy life.
A small banquet on three days and a big banquet on ten days.
In the name of discussing the current situation, he couldn't discuss anything.
However, today's banquet was a bit special, so that all participants put away their usual jokes and became a little serious.
A big banquet was not set up by the Tang family's small manor, nor by the Zhao family, but by the Han family. Anyone with a little political mind knows whether this banquet is simple.
The music sounded, and some of the most unrestrained and wealthy families with higher status, who were usually the most unrestrained, put aside their fun and were serious today. On the contrary, those rich businessmen with similar family backgrounds sang and danced with the music.
But whether it is a drinker, a dancer or a playful person, the attention is on the two people in the main seat.
The eldest lady of the Zhao family did not wear an evening dress, but was wearing a very ordinary green long skirt and sat there casually. But even so, it could not conceal her outstanding appearance.
"Qingwu, it's been a long time since I saw you!"
A man who looked elegant and had a mole on the corner of his eyebrows and looked about 30 years old raised the wine glass in his hand and signaled slightly that this person was Han Ziyi, the second young master of the Han family.
The Han family, one of the five top families in China, has mastered more than 30% of the core technologies of mechanical technology in the world. No matter which region it is, they are involved.
"It's been a long time since I saw you!"
Although the eldest daughter of the Zhao family, Zhao Qingwu, is only in her twenties, but she has been trained by the Zhao family since she was a child and has long become a mature woman who her peers do not have.
"I wanted to come here to travel, but I encountered such a sudden change in natural disasters. I was in a bad mood, but I didn't expect to meet Qingwu again. I suddenly felt that it was a blessing, it must be fate!"
Han Ziyi smiled, with a rude look, and did not hide the desire in his heart.
Among the five major families in China, some people say: the money of the Chu family, the land of the Qin family, the life of the Yan family, and the iron of the Han family, the Zhao family is inseparable from it.
The Zhao family's energy technology is the best in the world and penetrates every corner of the world. The more developed the technology, the greater the energy demand. No one in the world dares to say that he has never used the Zhao family's energy technology.
Especially the Han family, which masters top mechanical technology, has a greater demand for energy technology.
In addition, Zhao Qingwu is a character in the world, both public and private, and Han Ziyi hopes to marry the Zhao family through himself.
With the Han family's machinery and the Zhao family's energy, there will be only one super family in China by then.
Unfortunately, the fallen flowers intentionally flowing water without mercy. Zhao Qingwu was not attracted to the second son of the Han family in front of him, but said lightly: "Is that so? That's really my misfortune!"
"Qingwu, don't say that!"
Han Ziyi laughed dryly: "I admire Youjia for Qingwu. If I could spend more days together, Qingwu would have known my goodness!"
"It's really good!"
Zhao Qingwu smiled slightly: "There should be a fight below. You either hide and make people wonder, or you think about replacing my spokesperson. I will definitely remember this."
"Qingwu really misunderstood me!"
Han Ziyi shook his head with regret: "It was only now that I realized that it was all planned by Zheng Junhao, the son of the Zheng family. But I also felt that Yao Zhicheng had no position in doing things, not someone Qing Wu trusted, and his strength was not very good."
"In addition, he is a civilian after all, and his heart is not with us. It would be better to let Zheng Junhao be the leader of the bandits below."
Zhao Qingwu refused to comment, but asked: "I heard that the Zheng family had ordered a planetary warship from you before, wanting to seek extragalactic colonization. Is there anything wrong?"
"Well!"
He didn't seem to expect Zhao Qingwu to ask about this. Han Ziyi was stunned for five seconds before laughing and said, "I don't know either. Even if there is really, it's a secret matter. I have to ask my father to know. But since Qingwu knows that the fight is started, don't he plan to do anything?"
“What should I do?”
Zhao Qingwu asked back: "Do you want to destroy the rules yourself? Or should you welcome the people below to the upper level? Forget it, let's talk about it, I don't think Zheng Junhao will definitely win."
"Oh?" Han Ziyi was interested: "Does Qingwu look forward to those mud legs so well?"
Zhao Qingwu smiled slightly: "It's just intuition. Anyway, I'm bored, just think of playing a gambling game. I bet... Zheng Junhao lost!"
"Is that?" Han Ziyi smiled and said, "If there is no opponent, the gambling game will be boring, so I'll bet Zheng Junhao to win! I don't know what to bet!"
He thought Zhao Qingwu would refuse, but he didn't expect that Zhao Qingwu said confidently: "Just bet on what you are going to publish next. The legend of Iron Man has never been realized. I want to see how far your Han family has done."
As soon as these words were spoken, Han Ziyi's face froze: "You... know everything!"
Zhao Qingwu raised his head slightly, looking confident: "Don't forget where this is, Jingcheng. Even if the natural disaster changes drastically, no movement here can be hidden from me."
"good!"
Han Ziyi laughed loudly. He didn't like the feeling of being oppressed by Zhao Qingwu. He wanted to take the initiative: "Just bet on it. If you win, the things will belong to you. If you lose, you will be my Han Ziyi's wife!"
The sound was quite loud, not only two people could hear it, it spread throughout the scene, and everyone stopped in an instant. Looking at this place in shock, it seemed that they could not believe their ears.
The five major families have never been married because of some private tacit understanding. Will they change?
Zhao Qingwu did not answer immediately, but held her chin with one hand, leaned on the chair, staring at him, and smiled: "Even if I really want to marry into the Han family, are you sure the one who marrys me will be you?"
These words made Han Ziyi's face froze and look ugly.
He is the second young master of the Han family. He looks very glorious outsiders, but he is not the first heir within the family.
The eldest brother Han Ziren is the legitimate first heir, and the third brother Han Zixin is the most favored child. With Zhao Qingwu's status in the Zhao family, it is difficult for him to be his turn even if he really wants to marry.
And this also made many people hear something, and their eyes communicate. Although no one said anything, Han Ziyi could feel that the atmosphere was getting more and more embarrassing.
Just when he was about to explode, Zhao Qingwu suddenly smiled and said, "But if I really designated to marry you only, you must be worthy of this qualification, so... OK, I promise you this bet!"
After a while, Han Ziyi was a little disbelief. After a while, he laughed ecstaticly: "Okay, just like Qingwu, you said!"
If you can really marry Zhao Qingwu, no matter what position or favor you are, the old people in the family who hold power and who are first in the interests will inevitably make themselves the only heirs... All bets are worth it.
He then said to everyone in the small manor: "Today, I want to show you something!"
After clapping his hands, a black shadow fell from the sky and landed in the middle of the manor.
After carefully looking, someone suddenly shouted: "Iron Man!"
This is a set of steel armor, more than two meters high and metallic luster, which is very similar to the Iron Man in the old movie. I have long heard that the Han family is developing mechanical armor, but I didn't expect it to be true and it was successful.
"From today on, we have another barrier to protect ourselves!"
Han Ziyi loudly declared: "This is the latest mechanical technology steel armor of our Han family, the first generation of Mark One..."
Many rich children gathered around and listened carefully.
Looking at Han Ziyi who was talking, Zhao Qingwu smiled coldly and stood up and left.
As soon as he left the small manor, the middle-aged man behind him said in a deep voice: "Miss, you shouldn't have agreed to this bet in front of everyone."
"It's not critical!"
Zhao Qingwu said: "As long as you win, there is no problem. Steel armor is a good technology and worth a try. And I am not completely gambling. I just received the news that Chen Xuejian had killed Lu Haining, which took less than three minutes. As long as he helps Yao Zhicheng, my winning rate is more than 80%.
"Well!"
The middle-aged man was stunned and then seemed to have received some message. He hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head: "Even if it is a 90% winning rate, you shouldn't bet. What should you do if you lose?"
"Lost?"
Zhao Qingwu stood still, turned around and looked at the Tang family manor, looking at Han Ziyi standing in front of the steel armor, and said coldly: "It would be fine if I win, but if I lose..."
