Chapter 366: Good People Get Good Rewards
At this moment, Wang Yao's face instantly turned livid, and then pale. It was only then that he truly understood the meaning of the phrase "the ball is round".
Zhang Nianzu looked at him and said, "You shouldn't have hit the middle pocket first."
Wang Yao nodded like a zombie and threw all the thick stack of money in his pocket onto the table. Someone shouted, "You still owe them 500."
Zhang Nianzu said: "It is inevitable for people to make mistakes. If they are wrong, they are wrong. Just correct them. Making excuses for your mistakes will only make you unable to stand up again forever - I am not just talking about the middle pocket."
Wang Yao listened silently. If someone said these words to him at other times, he would definitely sneer at them. But at this moment, he felt a different feeling in his heart. He slowly took out another 500 yuan and put it into the pile of money.
Zhang Nianzu didn't take it. Instead, he only took back half of the money on the table and said, "I'll take these back. The rest can be used as tuition."
Wang Yao looked at Zhang Nianzu in surprise. Zhang Nianzu said, "At least you are a trustworthy person. I'm waiting for the day when you stand up."
Wang Yao hesitated for a moment, put the money away, nodded to Zhang Nianzu, and walked out of the billiard hall quickly.
People gathered around Zhang Nianzu, talking and laughing, as if celebrating the triumphant return of a hero.
Jiutong finally squeezed in and said anxiously and angrily: "How did you win the last round? I didn't even see it--"
An old customer nearby said, "I have a video here. I'll show you the replay later."
Jiutong spread his hands and asked Zhang Nianzu: "What are you trying to do?" He could see that Zhang Nianzu was not short of money, and he really couldn't understand why he was gambling like this.
Zhang Nianzu said: "Don't worry, I won't come to your place anymore."
Jiutong said earnestly: "It's for your own good that I advise you not to gamble. I have to say this even though you hate me. As the saying goes, no one can win in the long run of gambling. I used to..." followed by a long stream of chatter.
Zhang Nianzu smiled and said, "I know you are doing this for my own good. I will definitely not gamble again in the future."
Lei Tingting whispered, "We have to make one last ."
Zhang Nianzu said to Jiutong: "Let's pay the bill."
Jiutong asked in confusion: "Pay the bill? What bill?"
"You open a billiard hall for free? It costs table fees."
"You are scolding me!" Jiu Tong not only refused, but also took out two bottles of drinks from the refrigerator and forced them on Zhang Nianzu and Lei Tingting, and then pushed them out of the door.
After getting in the car, Lei Tingting suddenly asked, "Hey, why did he give you Nutri-Express and give me papaya yogurt?"
Zhang Nianzu also realized it after she said it, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Lei Tingting asked: "What are you laughing at?"
"I laugh at Brother Jiutong for being such a smart guy."
Lei Tingting also came to her senses now, and tapped Zhang Nianzu's head and said, "What do you men think about?"
After joking, Lei Tingting suddenly asked: "You were able to beat Wang Yao, did you really learn the skills from him?" She vaguely guessed Zhang Nianzu's intention of betting with Wang Yao, but she still felt that it was very mysterious that he could make a desperate counterattack.
Zhang Nianzu nodded and said, "Based on my previous level, I might not be able to beat him even if I played 100 games. If I hadn't met such an opponent, I would have to take a lot of detours just to set up the cue."
Lei Tingting laughed and said, "Oh, are you praising your opponent or yourself? It seems that you learned everything after just two glances. You are really gifted."
Zhang Nianzu said: "This is the advantage of the strongman race in sports. I watched his movements several times and finalized them through practice. Then I naturally copied them perfectly without any distortion due to pressure or psychological burden. This is actually a great bonus. Warriors have not been allowed to participate in sports competitions for ordinary people since ancient times. It seems that we have to be careful with this kind of technical competitive sports."
Lei Tingting laughed and said, "Sure enough, he is praising himself in a roundabout way."
Zhang Nianzu said seriously: "That's not the case. There is still a big gap between my level and Wang Yao's. If I play 10 more games with him, I may only be able to win one game at most."
"Why are you being so modest again?" Lei Tingting asked, "Then what were you thinking in the last game? Why were you so sure you could win?"
"Do you want to know why?" Zhang Nianzu suddenly said seriously, "Because I'm too rich!"
Lei Tingting was speechless: "What the hell?"
"Really." Zhang Nianzu said, "If I lose 10,000 or 20,000 yuan now, it's nothing, but Wang Yao can't afford to lose. In the last round, I bet that he would have a psychological gap, and sure enough, he made a mistake." Zhang Nianzu sighed, "Money makes people brave, and even I am no exception. In the future, I must be careful in my dealings with others, be careful--"
Lei Tingting laughed and said, "You are both praising yourself and criticizing yourself. You have done a good job in preparing yourself mentally. One last question - for the last shot, did you guess it or were you really sure?"
"Do you believe me if I tell you I'm really sure?"
Lei Tingting said: "I don't believe it."
"I was really sure!" Zhang Nianzu said, "When I was in school, I played a game of ball with Zhao Weiming and it was the same situation. The ball was in exactly the same position. I was lucky to score that goal."
Lei Tingting asked: "What does it have to do with this time?"
Zhang Nianzu said: "I remember the angle and strength of that shot."
Lei Tingting widened her eyes and asked, "How long ago was that?"
"If not ten years, it's probably at least seven or eight years." After saying this, Zhang Nianzu waited for Lei Tingting to praise him.
Lei Tingting said with a tut: "If someone offends you, won't you remember him for the rest of his life?"
This girl really has a unique way of thinking...
Lei Tingting asked, "When do you plan to go to Mr. Hong's gambling appointment?"
"Give me two days to consolidate." At this time, Zhang Nianzu's phone rang. When he picked up the phone, Old Wu said in a low and cautious voice: "Nianzu, if you have nothing else, please go back to the repair shop."
"What's wrong?"
Old Wu coughed and said, "There's someone looking for you. He's a big , strong man with a stern face. He looks... kind of creepy."
Zhang Nianzu was reminded that his identity was different now and he had many enemies. It would be really troublesome if the other party used Old Wu as a threat.
"Hold on, I'll be there as soon as possible."
After hanging up the phone, Lei Tingting asked, "Should we notify Ah San and the others?"
"It's too late." Zhang Nianzu started the car and drove quickly to the repair shop.
As soon as I entered Changsheng Street, I saw a Land Rover parked in front of the repair shop. Old Wu and a burly man were sitting face to face with each other, both smoking silently.
Seeing Zhang Nianzu coming, Old Wu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Nianzu, this man asked for you by name, but he wouldn't tell me what he wanted."
The burly man threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stamped it out, then walked over from the stool and asked, "You are Zhang Nianzu?"
Zhang Nianzu protected Lei Tingting behind him and said, "It's me."
The big man suddenly looked puzzled and asked, "Why do you look so familiar to me?"
Zhang Nianzu said, "You look familiar to me too."
Lei Tingting poked her head over his shoulder and took a look. "They say you have a good memory. We met this guy at the entrance of the mall. He even splashed Coke all over you."
Zhang Nianzu suddenly realized.
The big man also remembered and said with emotion: "This is really a road that we meet... er, no, it's fate. I don't park randomly anymore."
Zhang Nianzu said: "Then why are you looking for me?" The other party didn't look like he was here for revenge, so why did he come to me after such a long time?
The big man said, "I am also a loyal person. A few days ago, I picked up a hitchhiker on the road. He spoke incomprehensibly and asked me to come to you in a few days."
"What's his name?"
"I forgot to ask. This guy fell down the mountain and was in a very bad state. After I took him to the airport, he asked me to come find you in a few days. I don't know what your relationship is, but I have to tell you anyway."
Zhang Nianzu asked a few questions about the man's appearance, and calculated the time, and concluded that it was most likely Jia Ba. He looked the big man up and down and said, "He didn't do anything to you, did he?"
"What can he do to me when he's in that state? He called me and said he has a son in Yunnan."
Zhang Nianzu was very surprised. After remembering the phone number, he asked, "What else did he say?"
"He said he owes you money in his next life."
Zhang Nianzu suddenly felt lost.
The big man said, "It's done. I'm leaving now."
Zhang Nianzu said sincerely: "Thank you, if your car has any problems in the future, I will repair it for you for free."
"Then thank you too. Actually, I found out that as long as I don't park it randomly, my car won't need any repairs." The big man got in the car, stepped on the accelerator and left Changsheng Street.
Lei Tingting looked at the back of his car and said with emotion: "This man is so lucky."
Zhang Nianzu nodded and said, "It shows that good people will be rewarded."
