Back to the 1970s: Building My Fortune Through Time Trading-Chapter 134: Winning the Bet

With a smug look, Zhang Dongmei aimed her chin at Su Xiaoxiao, with an air of certainty.

Su Xiaoxiao had the expression of an old man on the subway staring at his phone, unable to comprehend Zhang Dongmei’s competitiveness.

People usually compete over food and clothing, or work ability, but these two are competing over radios?

She absolutely believed this was a foolish behavior...

Before the thought finished, she heard Zhang Dongmei say, "If I win, you give me a hundred bucks, if I lose, I give you a hundred, how about that?"

Su Xiaoxiao immediately nodded, "Sure, let’s compete, who’s afraid of who?"

Zhang Dongmei was eager to give her money, she couldn’t be happier.

For the sake of this hundred dollars, she could play with a fool for a while.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Zhang Dongmei, her expression relaxed, "How do you want to compete?"

"We’ll see whose radio has the louder volume and better sound quality."

After Zhang Dongmei spoke, she put down the radio she’d been carrying on her shoulder with a thud.

She had already observed that Su Xiaoxiao’s radio was small in size and volume, she was surely going to win.

Su Xiaoxiao had no objections and nodded, "Alright."

She took a music calculator out of her pocket and placed it next to Zhang Dongmei’s radio.

Compared to Zhang Dongmei’s "hulking beast", her calculator looked excessively petite and delicate.

Immediately, someone began to mock, "Is there even a point in competing? It’s obvious Mr. Zhang’s radio is better."

Upon hearing the familiar shrill voice, Su Xiaoxiao turned to see Wang Lili looking at her disdainfully.

As their eyes met, Su Xiaoxiao smiled, "Since Mr. Wang has so much confidence in Mr. Zhang, why don’t we make a bet too?"

"Sure, let’s bet, how do we wager?"

Wang Lili didn’t want to miss any opportunity to put down Su Xiaoxiao, she was always keen on such matters.

"It’s simple, let’s bet on who wins between me and Mr. Zhang. If I win, you have to kneel and kowtow to me three times, and shout ’Dad’ three times."

As soon as the words fell, the room was dead silent,

The kneeling and kowtowing were understandable, but what’s with shouting ’Dad’?

Su Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow and looked at Wang Lili, "What? Scared?"

"Why would I be scared?"

Wang Lili straightened her posture, "If I win, you have to call me ’Auntie’ three times."

"Deal!"

The competition soon began, Zhang Dongmei pridefully pressed her radio.

A melodic tune quickly filled the training room, and someone immediately began praising her, "No wonder it’s the newest model, just listen to that sound, that quality."

With a proud look, Zhang Dongmei turned to Su Xiaoxiao, "Your turn."

Su Xiaoxiao pressed the button on the calculator, and a passionate song quickly blared through the training room.

"You’re my little, little apple, loving you can’t be too much..."

As the music played, many people couldn’t help but sway to the rhythm.

By comparison, Zhang Dongmei’s side seemed much inferior.

Although Su Xiaoxiao’s was slightly quieter, its quality was clear without any noise, and it was even in 3D surround sound.

Which side had better sound quality was obvious.

Zhang Dongmei could hear it clearly herself, but she was unwilling; lowering her head to Su Xiaoxiao was harder for her than eating poop.

Suddenly, she remembered something, pointing at Xiaoxiao’s calculator, "Besides sound quality, we also have to compare volume, clearly my radio is louder."

Before the words were finished, she saw Su Xiaoxiao calmly reach out and adjust her volume button to maximum; deafening music immediately filled the training room, directly overshadowing Zhang Dongmei’s.

Zhang Dongmei’s face turned red and blue, how could this happen? Su Xiaoxiao’s radio was not even half the size of hers, why was the sound so loud?

Before she could figure it out, a slender white hand reached out in front of her.

Zhang Dongmei looked up, facing Su Xiaoxiao’s smiling eyes.

"Mr. Zhang, a bet’s a bet, hand over the money?"

"Mr. Zhang, you’re not going to welch, are you?"

Su Xiaoxiao’s smile deepened, and Zhang Dongmei inexplicably saw a hint of mockery in it.

Her face instantly had trouble holding, "It’s just a hundred bucks, right? It’s not like I can’t afford it, here you go."

Speaking, she pulled out a wad of banknotes and handed it over.

Su Xiaoxiao happily accepted the money, counted it twice under Zhang Dongmei’s disdainful gaze.

Beside them, Wang Lili was preparing to sneak away, just as she turned around, suddenly the collar on the back of her neck tightened.

Turning back, she was faced with Su Xiaoxiao’s smiling face, "Mr. Wang, a bet’s a bet, huh?"

"Comrade Su, I’m willing to apologize to you for earlier, we’re all colleagues, don’t be too excessive."

Wang Lili, upon realizing, began moral coercion immediately.

Someone chimed in, "Yes, we’re all colleagues, having to kowtow is too excessive."

"Since Mr. Wang has already apologized, we’ll just leave it at that."

Su Xiaoxiao laughed at those playing the motherly card, "If I remember correctly, Mr. Wang was the one who suggested the bet, right? Since Mr. Wang suggested it, surely she was prepared to lose, isn’t backing out now somewhat untrustworthy?"

"Mr. Wang, if you really don’t want to fulfill the bet, that’s fine, I’m just a country girl with no background, unlike Mr. Wang, who has a dad as a director’s secretary."

Upon hearing about her dad, Wang Lili’s face changed immediately, her father valued reputation; if he found out about this...

Wang Lili’s face paled, finally she spoke with a stern expression, "I’ll give you a hundred bucks like Dongmei, a bet’s a bet, let’s end it here, okay?"

Su Xiaoxiao happily agreed, "No problem."

Compared to making Wang Lili embarrassed in public, money was more practical.

With two hundred bucks picked up for free, Su Xiaoxiao gleefully went home, only to find the atmosphere at home was unusually heavy.

"Brother, why are you back?"

Su Xiaoxiao looked in surprise at Su Wenbing sitting in the main room.

Today wasn’t a weekend or holiday, logically, he shouldn’t be here.

Before Su Wenbing could respond, Liu Cuilan spoke up first, "Your brother was fired from his factory."

"What?"

Su Xiaoxiao slammed the table, Su Wenbing had always worked diligently and had won the advanced award for years, how could he be fired?

She couldn’t believe there wasn’t more to this story.

"Brother, what’s going on?"

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the silent Su Wenbing, he shook his head, "I don’t know either, they just said my work performance was bad..."

"Bullshit! Brother, tomorrow morning I’ll take leave and go with you, we must ask your factory manager for an explanation."

Because of this, she was so angry she didn’t sleep well the whole night; the next morning she went to the department store to take leave, dragged Su Wenbing straight to the city steel factory.

As soon as they arrived at the entrance, they suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.
