Chapter 179 Fish
Fu Jin’s face instantly darkened when he heard Zhang Jingchu’s statement. He immediately looked through the crowd and stopped his gaze on the most good looking guy within the group, who he assumed was Brother Lei.
"Miss Jiang that is a little harsh, don’t you think so?" Zhang Jingchu said, while laughing inwardly. Jiang Yue’s statement was very clear. Her impression of Quan Lei was common and boring. The fact, that Quan Lei heard it from Jiang Yue, elated Zhang Jingchu.
However, who would have thought that Jiang Yue’s statement would spark Quan Lei’s interest and enthusiasm even more?
At this point, Quan Lei was already having a staring contest with Fu Jin. Quan Lei was a very competitive man. After he heard Jiang Yue’s words, that he was dull and normal, he became agitated.
"Let me introduce myself." Quan Lei started, surprising Zhang Jingchu. She assumed that Quan Lei would leave after Jiang Yue’ words. "I am Quan Lei, I was the one who recruited Jiang Yue two years ago." He said while holding out his hand to Fu Jin.
He wanted to let Fu Jin know that he knew Jiang Yue for two years already.
The staring contest continued, as Fu Jin did not answer him. Instead, he just stared at Quan Lei assessing him.
Quan Lei was about to take back his hand when Fu Jin suddenly grabbed it. "I am Fu Jin. Jiang Yue’s husband."
"Really? You guys are already married? Well... congratulations!" Zhang Jingchu excitedly said. Jiang Yue’s marriage was a piece of very good news for her. She only hoped that Quan Lei would back down now.
Quan Lei just stared at Fu Jin with no particular reaction on his face.
Married? He would never believe that!.
"How about a friendly competition Mr. Fu." He said, his gaze intense as he squeezed Fu Jin’s hand.
Fu Jin narrowed his eyes at him. "What kind of competition are you offering?"
"Since we are in a shooting range then let’s have a shooting competition."
"And the bets are...?" Fu Jin asked.
"The winner will obviously own the prize." Quan Lei answered before walking towards Fu Jin. Their faces were less than a feet away from each other. Smirking at him he said. "You should have already guessed what the prize is, right? Mr. Fu?"
To his surprise, Fu Jin let out a chuckle before leaning down towards Quan Lei’s ear. Then he murmured. "You have the guts, Mr. Quan, challenging me like. But I would not agree to your terms. She is not a thing that you can win just by using a mere competition."
"Are you afraid that you will lose?" Quan Lei provoked.
Fu Jin snorted."I only fear one thing, Mr. Quan, and that is her ire. I know you wouldn’t understand that, after all she has never even spent some time talking to you."
"And how do you know that?"
"Why don’t you pay some attention at the way she looks at you. If you do not know what that look means, then let me inform you...disgust Mr. Quan. She looks at you with pure disgust." Fu Jin said, his voice dark and dangerous.
Then Fu Jin slowly took a step backward and revealed a smile towards Quan Lei. "Now... let’s try this again. What are the bets?"
"Why don’t we make this more exciting?" Zhang Jingchu interrupted. "Let’s make it a team competition. You and Jiang Yue against Me and Quan Lei. How does that sound?"
Fu Jin looked at Jiang Yue, silently asking for her opinion. In response, Jiang Yue gave him a nod. A little competition? Why not?
"So what are we betting on?" Zhang Jingchu asked excitedly. Quan Lei and she were actually field agents. So they were used to guns and danger.
Whereas Jiang Yue stayed at the computer lab all day. She had heard that Jiang Yue practiced shooting at their office’s shooting range once. And some people told her that it was Jiang Yue’s first time holding a gun. That fact boosted Zhang Jingchu’s confidence. What could someone good at computers do with a gun? Type at them?
Quan Lei, on the other hand, frowned. He heard from his friends that Jiang Yue could shoot, he had even watched her once. However, Jiang Yue was not particularly good at it.
He wondered where did Jiang Yue get her confidence. Was she oblivious of the fact that both he and Zhang Jingchu were considered sharpshooters?
Jiang Yue had access to everyone’s files, so she should already had an idea of their skills. Did that mean that she had not even bother to check?
Or she had checked but had found his background uninteresting, that was why she had just forgot about it.
"Ten million." Jiang Yue said, making everyone froze. Ten million for a competition was a very extravagant bet.
Zhang Jingchu snorted. Ten million? Was she kidding? Or she was just afraid that they would lose? "Let’s make it a hundred. A hundred million yuan." She declared.
"Deal." Jiang Yue instantly gave her a dashing smile. The fish just took the bait.
How wonderful.
