CHAPTER 384: CHAPTER 322: CONVINCED OR NOT_2

If there’s a new challenge now and he can’t lift the fourth pot, it clearly indicates there’s a problem with the pot, and everyone would doubt it, making it pointless to continue running this stall.

So, Scarface Wang could only watch as Li Jing picked up the fourth pot amidst everyone’s exclamations, but he didn’t dare to press the remote in his pocket.

Looking at Scarface Wang, Li Jing calmly said, "You said you would accept the result of challenging the fourth pot, win or lose. Are you convinced now?"

Hearing this, Scarface Wang’s face turned pale, his heart still shaken. He hadn’t expected his foolproof plan to be broken so easily by the opponent.

After a long pause, he finally took a deep breath and looked up at Li Jing.

To Li Jing’s surprise, after the change in expression, Scarface Wang’s eyes no longer showed anger and shock but instead, he cupped his hands, bowed his head, and admitted:

"Boss, I’ve rarely admired anyone in my life, but today, I truly admire you. Here, take this three thousand four hundred and fifty."

Li Jing was taken aback, not expecting the other side to have such a carefree side.

But as long as the other party is willing to give the money, Li Jing didn’t care much about taking it.

Seeing Li Jing’s expression, Scarface Wang seriously said, "Boss is a master. I misjudged before. I accept my loss, and this three thousand four hundred and fifty must go to you."

With that, he immediately transferred the money to Li Jing.

Sophie didn’t know about the issue with the fourth pot, so she didn’t understand the change in the boss’s attitude. However, this didn’t stop her from admiring Li Jing.

She looked at Li Jing with sparkling eyes and exclaimed, "You’re amazing! I thought you might win a few hundred at most, but you actually won over three thousand with this game."

Li Jing didn’t mind Sophie’s admiring gaze, instead he looked at Scarface Wang and said, "If you want your stall to last, don’t use tricks. If you keep winning, people will only come by less and less."

Upon hearing this, Scarface Wang realized the other was talking about the mechanism under the fourth pot.

His expression slightly changed, seeing that Li Jing didn’t expose him publicly, he silently cupped his hands again and said, "Thank you for your leniency, boss. I’ll consider your advice."

Sophie couldn’t help stepping forward and adding, "Boss, look at you, being fair now. Accepting your loss is much better than cheating as you did before."

Scarface Wang glanced at Sophie, remembering how she retorted him earlier, and said, "Boss, your girlfriend really has a sharp tongue."

"I’m not his girlfriend."

As soon as she finished, Sophie immediately clarified.

However, Scarface Wang didn’t pay attention to her response; instead, he continued speaking to Li Jing, "Boss, to be honest, where we come from, there’s a saying that finding a woman that’s too strong can bring bad luck to her husband."

Sophie’s eyes widened with shock and anger, "Hey, what do you mean by that??"

Li Jing knew the other was looking for verbal revenge on Sophie for earlier, and couldn’t help but find it amusing, shaking his head.

Before Sophie could retort, Li Jing pulled her along and walked away.

As the scene of the boss losing three thousand to Li Jing played out, everyone watched, more excited than Li Jing himself, whispering to each other.

Apart from admiring and envying Li Jing, many also started praising the boss for being honest and accepting his loss.

Unexpectedly, several onlookers were willing to try the challenge themselves.

Scarface Wang was pleasantly surprised by the unexpected benefit and quickly started to greet the passersby again.

Once away from the crowd, Sophie seemed to finally let go of her restraint, looking at Li Jing with delight and wonder, bombarding him with questions.

"You’re incredible. Why did it seem like picking up the fourth pot was easier for you than the third one?"

"Why did the boss’s attitude towards you change at the end? Did you discover something about him?"

"You don’t even seem very muscular, yet you’re stronger than the gym guy. How do you train?"

Sophie’s questions came one after another, making Li Jing’s head spin.

It wasn’t until they left the old street that she gradually calmed down.

Looking at his car parked nearby, Li Jing glanced at the sky and said, "It’s getting late. Should I take you home now?"

Hearing this, Sophie was initially stunned and only then realized it was already five or six o’clock in the afternoon.

However, after eating a lot of snacks in the old street, they weren’t hungry, nor did they plan to have dinner.

She thought for a moment and answered, "Sure, let’s go to my place. I haven’t fulfilled my promise yet."

When Li Jing heard this, he raised an eyebrow, "Oh, why? I thought you’d renege on your debt. Are you really going to show me?"

"I’m not that dishonest boss; I’ll definitely keep my word."

Sophie rolled her eyes and urged, "Hurry up, hurry up. We can’t stay up late tonight; we have a flight tomorrow."

Then the two of them returned to Sophie’s rented apartment.

This time, Li Jing was much more familiar than before, sat on the living room sofa, and peeled an orange for himself.

"You’re quite at ease."

Seeing this, Sophie teased but still made a cup of tea for Li Jing, then headed towards the main bedroom, "Wait a minute, what style do you prefer?"

Li Jing popped an orange segment into his mouth and joked, "The sexier, the better. I just love that kind of thing."

"Such a playboy!"

Sophie glared at Li Jing, but still obediently entered the room, leaving a final comment: "Let me have a look. If I can’t find it, don’t blame me."

Li Jing was just joking, but he didn’t expect her to agree. He couldn’t tell if it was because she liked him too much or if she was just naturally this carefree.
