Chapter 695: I Am Just a Small Citizen.
The competition had ended, and many people were waiting for a result. In the past, people who would leave the venue after the competition ended did not care about the late night and waited at the competition venue.
This was a huge crisis of trust. The people that Ma Hui had given out had to be completely convinced.
Although people were bad, even if they were very suspicious of the dark side, they still could not resist the temptation of gambling. The financial loss would not be too big, and the storm would return to peace in time. However, the impact of the reputation would be difficult to make up for.
Yun Xiangxiang thought about it and followed uncle Ma into the hall where the reporters were interviewing. There was a live broadcast that connected to the venue of the competition. Uncle Ma even cooperated with the television station. This was equivalent to a live broadcast interview.
The entire Hong Kong was paying attention to this interview.
Today, she wore a light blue classic lady suit, a hip-hugging skirt, and a small suit paired with a white shirt. She looked very socialite.
The moment she appeared in the hall, everyone was stunned because Yun Xiangxiang was no stranger to many people. Even some people who did not pay attention to mainland actors had to admit that this little girl was really beautiful.
At the top of the hall, there was a long table with several chairs. Uncle Ma walked to the one on the left in the center and led Yun Xiangxiang to his side, the one on the right in the center.
There was a microphone on the red silk table. Uncle Ma spoke first, “It’s so late. Thank you all for coming to witness our innocence. Let’s release some data first. Everyone, take a look.”
Someone immediately turned off the lights in the hall. A projector appeared behind them and released some of the data that they had bought tonight. Only the sixth match had been marked and it was clear at a glance.
It was true that the number of people who had purchased the horse that had won the first three matches was slightly higher than the current result, but there was no need to fake this little bit, especially since they were risking their lives.
Rows and rows of data were released, and everyone could see it clearly. The last one to be released was Yun Xiangxiang. There were even betting channels on it, and the detailed time was accurate to two digits after the second.
Although everyone had some guesses as they looked at Yun Xiangxiang sitting there, it was still very shocking when it was actually announced.
“We uphold the principles of supporting the elderly, helping the disabled, saving the orphans, and helping the needy. We don’t dare to publicize the fact that we have worked hard and made great contributions, but we have always been serious and dedicated to contributing to society. There are many accidents in life, and gambling is just the spice of life.
There are countless possibilities in every competition, and it is destined that some people will be happy while others will be sad.
However, the outcome is unique, which means that those who are happy are bound to be in the minority.
This is also the fundamental reason why the winning rate is low. Here, I hope that the general public can maintain a good attitude.
Do not be happy with things, do not be sad with yourself; what you get is luck, not fate.
“In the future, we will continue to uphold justice.”
Uncle Ma’s words were neither long nor short, but they were very technical. It seemed that every sentence was very ordinary and everyone could understand it. However, there was a reflective reasoning behind them.
After he finished speaking, he was greeted by the cheers of the entire hall. Uncle Ma smiled and said, “I have invited tonight, the big winner of the recent years, to come here. Now, I will give the stage to this beautiful lady beside me. I hope that everyone will be kind to her and show mercy.”
After he finished speaking, uncle Ma even cupped his fists to all the reporters.
Yun Xiangxiang thought about the person uncle Ma had arranged next to her. He was a reporter who specialized in raising his hand to ask questions. He first picked a young female reporter who wore glasses.
The reporter stood up and asked, “Miss Yun, it’s said that this is your first time betting on a horse?”
“Yes.”
The reporter asked, “Why would miss yun buy such a difficult three-t horse when it’s her first time betting on a horse? Moreover, the time data shows that you placed your bets before the end of the third round.”
Yun Xiangxiang gave a decent smile. “I came here today because I heard about it and wanted to broaden my horizons. Many people said that I came to Hong Kong for nothing. My friend and I brought her child here to join in the fun. I bought a horse because of the boss of the ten thousand horses Pentium Club. He’s a friend that I met in private.”
After a pause, Yun Xiangxiang explained with some humor, “I want to emphasize that I’m purely a friend of the opposite sex. Don’t accuse me wrongly. I’m afraid that boss Meng’s girlfriend will hunt me down.”
This made the reporters laugh. Yun Xiangxiang continued, “Coincidentally, boss Meng also has a horse that will be participating in the first race today. I bought the first race with the intention of supporting my friend. It was also before the bet that boss Meng taught me the knowledge of buying a horse.
“I’m probably really the God’s illegitimate daughter. I got a little favor, so I bought the first race.”
The reporter asked, “So, Miss Yun is trying to take advantage of the win to pursue her?”
“No, I was planning to quit while I was ahead, but I met a young lady who had some friction with me. This young lady might be jealous of my beauty and always disliked me, so she forced me to buy a horse.”
“So, you… Your 3rd tank was forced out by someone?”The reporter was stunned.
The other people watching the live broadcast were also stunned.
“Yes.”Yun Xiangxiang sighed faintly, “I’m just a small citizen. How could I offend a rich young lady with tens of billions of dollars? I originally rejected her, but she said that if I didn’t agree, she would target me from now on. As long as I buy her designated 3rd tank, regardless of whether I win or lose, she would let me off in the future.
“Say, if it were you guys, would you not buy it?”
No, the reporters who were stirred up by Yun Xiangxiang, the audience outside, and the horse fans on the field all shook their heads.
That’s right. Yun Xiangxiang was a star, but she was also a small citizen like them. She instantly closed the distance between them.
Especially those who hated the rich all year round, and those who always felt that they were oppressed by power and couldn’t make a name for themselves. At this moment, they were too sympathetic to Yun Xiangxiang.
What a pitiful girl. She lived at the grassroots level just like them and was oppressed and bullied by the nouveau riche of the upper class.
Uncle Ma, who was sitting beside Yun Xiangxiang, tried his best to suppress the twitching of his facial muscles and maintain a straight face.
Only Old Man Min, who was sitting in front of the television, was laughing so hard that it could shake the heavens and earth. His face was bright red.
In the end, he praised, “This girl is a natural-born movie queen.”
Unlike Old Man Min, how could song Chi not know about such a sensational matter? He also watched the live broadcast interview through his method. After watching it, his face was full of heartache. “My family’s young lady is really too pitiful.”
The left side of the old Butler’s face twitched slightly, but he had no choice but to agree. “Yes, you’re right. Miss Yun is too pitiful.”
“My daughter is so pitiful, yet they still bully her like this.”Song Chi was very angry. “Find someone who can control Dong Licheng and talk some sense into him.
“We are now a society ruled by law. We don’t have to use coercion. We all have to be reasonable citizens.”
