Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Seeing the pile of land deeds and house deeds in Qi Guanshuang’s hands, Fang Miaozhen was utterly shocked. She had anticipated Qi Guanshuang would gamble big, but she didn’t expect it to be this big!

Fang Miaozhen couldn’t help but glance at Boss Zhang beside her. She had just gone out to buy some pea cakes. What exactly did Boss Zhang say to Qi Guanshuang? Why was Qi Guanshuang suddenly making such a grand move?

Boss Zhang, however, appeared calm. This had all been arranged in advance with Qi Guanshuang, so it was natural she remained composed. She gave Fang Miaozhen a reassuring look once again.

Fang Miaozhen trusted Boss Zhang—not because she believed in her character, but because she believed in their joint conspiracy against Qi Guanshuang.

Seeing Boss Zhang’s demeanor, Fang Miaozhen concluded that during her absence, Boss Zhang had indeed used her vast influence to persuade Qi Guanshuang to play a big game.

Fang Miaozhen’s heart was pounding rapidly with excitement. She had no doubt that her collaboration with Boss Zhang would defeat Qi Guanshuang.

On the contrary, Fang Miaozhen already considered the land and house deeds Qi Guanshuang had brought out to be her possessions.

But soon, Fang Miaozhen frowned. Although she was envious of the deeds in Qi Guanshuang’s hands, she didn’t have an equivalent stake to wager. After all, such important items couldn’t be easily accessed by anyone but the Family Head.

Qi Guanshuang could easily bring these things out as collateral because she was the current head of the Qi Guan Family, and she could naturally manage the family’s assets at will.

But she was only the second daughter of the Fang Family, completely unqualified to touch such things. Without stakes, how could she play? Yet, she was unwilling to give up on Fang Miaqing.

Qi Guanshuang sat leisurely by the side, drinking tea, watching Fang Miaozhen’s face turn blue and white as she agonized, without any urgency.

Seeing that Fang Miaozhen was almost done agonizing, Qi Guanshuang kindly stood up and said, ”I’ve had too much tea. I’m going out for a moment. You two wait for me here.”

Qi Guanshuang left to give space to Boss Zhang and Fang Miaozhen. Fang Miaozhen, having seen Qi Guanshuang drinking water constantly, was not suspicious and thought her departure was well-timed.

As soon as Qi Guanshuang left, Fang Miaozhen eagerly asked Boss Zhang, ”How did you persuade Qi Guanshuang to wager such a large stake? But I don’t have anything to bet. What should I do?”

Boss Zhang lowered her voice and whispered to Fang Miaozhen, ”Oh, getting Qi Guanshuang, that simpleton, to gamble is too easy.

In the past, when we tried to set her up, she never took the bait—not because she wasn’t interested in gambling, but because she wasn’t the head of the family and had no access to large amounts of Silver.

Now that she’s the head of the Qi Guan Family, one nudge from me, and she’s hooked. But it’s indeed a bit troublesome that we don’t have land deeds or house deeds.

Here’s the plan: I’ll put up fifty thousand taels of Silver, and you go home and bring a hundred thousand taels. This time, let’s aim for a big score, and make a fortune.”

Fang Miaozhen frowned, expressing her dissatisfaction, ”Boss Zhang, that’s a bit stingy of you, isn’t it? You’re only putting up fifty thousand taels, which is too little.”

Boss Zhang immediately gave a wry smile and began lamenting to Fang Miaozhen, ”Ah, you’ve misunderstood me. Am I that kind of stingy person? All this time, haven’t I always been the one funding our schemes against that simpleton?”

Boss Zhang sighed and, speaking even softer, said to Fang Miaozhen, ”You know, my gambling house’s backer is Yan Tongzhi.

However, you also know that Yan Tongzhi recently messed up an assignment from Lord Prefect. He’s trying to present gifts to Lord Prefect, and although I’m the gambling house owner, I’m essentially serving as Yan Tongzhi’s purse.

My brother relies on my Silver for some status and a good life in front of Yan Tongzhi; he can’t help me otherwise. So now, with Yan Tongzhi needing money, almost all my Silver has been handed over.

This fifty thousand taels really is the entirety of my savings. I honestly have no more left, so I’ll have to trouble you to cover a bit more this time. How about I take two percent less of this round’s earnings?”

Fang Miaozhen was tempted. She didn’t doubt Boss Zhang, firstly because of their long-term collaboration, where Boss Zhang had always been generous, and she was usually reaping benefits without any investment.

Secondly, the matter with Yan Tongzhi was something even the common people of Yun City had heard about. Yan Tongzhi was indeed frantically trying to avoid being forced into retirement.
