Quick Transmigration: The Mad Beauty Refuses to Be the Scapegoat!-Chapter 266 - 4: The Disabled Tycoon’s Ex-Wife Refuses to Be a Scapegoat (4)
Suddenly, the mirror fell to the ground. Jiang Lai swept her hair back and bent down to pick it up, then saw the foreigner across from her watching a football match on a palm-sized phone.
"Pelog is about to score the first goal."
Jiang Lai spoke directly in Chinese. The foreigner beside her frowned and glanced at her, then distantly replied.
"It’s impolite to peek at other people’s things."
"Sorry, I just took a quick look. My apologies."
Just as she finished speaking, on the screen, the two nations, which had been at a stalemate for forty minutes without a goal, suddenly saw a player from the red team break through with a swift kick and score.
The foreigner took a closer look, then incredulously raised his head to look at Jiang Lai sitting beside him.
"Are you also following this match?"
After all, it’s not some international competition like the World Cup, just a simple qualifier, yet she knew about it.
Jiang Lai nodded.
"I’m just a little interested in it. This banquet is too boring, and the air conditioning over there makes me cold. It’s better here, facing the stage, so I can watch performances to pass the time."
Upon hearing this, the foreigner became much more amiable.
"Maybe we can watch the match together."
"Your phone’s too small, use mine, mine’s bigger."
Having said that, Jiang Lai directly took out her latest model phone from her bag, and as she opened it, the match was already playing, making the foreigner even more convinced that Jiang Lai, like him, was a football fan. His attitude became warmer, and he even moved his chair closer.
"It really takes a veteran to do the job, did you see that young player Muba on the opposite side? I think he’ll be the biggest dark horse of this match."
"Muba is skilled with the ball, but he’s too inexperienced, not very noticeable."
"Just wait and see."
Fifteen minutes later, Muba, the young player from Country G, scored two goals within ten minutes, leading the team into the qualifiers!
"Unbelievable! This year’s dark horse is indeed Muba!"
Jiang Lai smiled, her eyes also full of spirit.
"I told you, when I watch games, I never miss. Looks like it’s my turn to make some money."
The foreigner looked at Jiang Lai.
"Make money?"
"Yes, I just bought Muba, and today he became the star player. His endorsement fee has increased several hundred times, don’t you think it’s my turn to earn?"
"You have a good eye."
"Having a good eye isn’t enough. You also need courage and money. Fortunately, I lack none of these, so I deserve to make money."
The foreigner looked at Jiang Lai meaningfully, then saw her handing over a business card.
"Mr. Mike, this is my business card. If there’s another match next time, we can continue our discussion."
Mike took the card and glanced at it.
"I didn’t expect Miss Jiang to be a general manager at such a young age. May I ask, how did you know Muba would win?"
"Intuition."
"That’s too nebulous."
"You know best, in every investment, what’s most important is intuition."
At this moment, the host was already on stage. Jiang Lai put down her bag and clapped along with everyone, smiling generously and elegantly.
Mike put the card into his pocket, gave Jiang Lai a thoughtful look, then got up and left early.
"I have something to do, so I’ll take my leave first. Miss Jiang, until we meet again."
Jiang Lai got up to see him off. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
"There’s one more thing I forgot to tell you. The veteran you like, Pelog, I bought him too, because I not only trust my own eye but also yours."
Watching Mike leave, Jiang Lai sat back down and idly ate the sweets in front of her.
"Spending over a hundred million to buy a veteran is one thing, but you spent forty million on an obscure person. Are you sure this deal won’t lose money? Can two football players alone make Mike consider working with you?"
"Shh, the performance is about to start, be quiet."
"Tsk!"
Jiang Lai really got into character quickly, immediately turning into a graceful and well-mannered lady of a prestigious family.
Just as Mo Zhoujing was led to the table by the organizers, he glanced down and saw the seating card tossed on the ground. The assistant pushing the wheelchair picked it up and handed it to him, with his name written on it.
Then looking at the seat that was supposed to be his, there sat a woman in a black dress.
The organizers quickly stepped forward to mediate, but Mo Zhoujing stopped them directly.
"No need, isn’t there an empty seat beside you?"
"Yes, a gentleman just left early, please take a seat here."
The assistant pushed Mo Zhoujing to the table, adjusted the wheelchair height, then silently
stepped back and stood to the side.
Jiang Lai seemed unaware that there was another person beside her, continuing to eat the dessert in front of her and watching the star-studded female celebrities on stage. She silently picked up her phone and called her secretary.
"I saw a promising actress on stage today, wearing a red dress, who was the second to come out. Find out which company she’s with and buy her over for me."
Little Buding: "Having money makes you great, huh? Being rich means you’re awesome?"
Jiang Lai flicked her hair and smiled with abandon.
"Being rich is indeed being awesome."
Ten minutes after the actress left the stage, the secretary had already drawn up the contract and handed it over.
"A thirty-million termination fee? That’s not much. Give her an extra ten million and set her up right."
On the side, Mo Zhoujing listened to Jiang Lai spending money like water and silently curled his lips.
Jiang Lai continued to watch the handsome men and beautiful women on stage with great interest, discussing with Little Buding.
"That little star in the white clothes, isn’t he the one who’s going to win the grand slam for best actor in the future?"
"Yes, indeed red brings good luck. He doesn’t look like an actor now, only has a face worth looking at."
Jiang Lai raised her eyebrows and dialed her secretary again.
"By the way, bring me over a male star, the one dancing in the white shirt and black pants, and make it quick."
After the call, Jiang Lai smiled at Lu Yao, the male star on stage.
"Youth is great, so full of vitality with all that jumping."
Having said that, Jiang Lai also picked up a wine glass and took a sip, then turned around to look at Mo Zhoujing in the wheelchair, asking without any hint of acting,
"Mr. Mo, when did you arrive? I didn’t see you."
Mo Zhoujing had no expression, one hand resting on his leg, the other holding a wine glass, watching the handsome and well-groomed male star on stage, he said in a deep voice,
"With the Jiang family’s business so busy, Miss Jiang still finds time to relax here?"
"Even such a busy person like Mr. Mo finds time to come, not to mention me."
After saying this, Jiang Lai continued to watch the male star on stage, observing as he walked down and directly headed towards her direction.
Oh, pretty perceptive, aren’t you?
A round table seated four people, and since neither Mo Zhoujing nor Jiang Lai brought companions, the other two seats were empty.
Lu Yao walked straight over and sat beside Jiang Lai.
"My manager just told me that you want to poach me?"
