Chapter 470: Quotation
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
This was a special service that was provided to the VIP members of the Jockey Club.
Many people came to watch the race every year at the Jockey Club, but very few were able to receive such treatment.
Not to mention, it had been personally sent by the Young Master of the Gu family, Gu Tinglan.
Ning Li looked at her phone and realized that she had just received a copy as well.
However, she had not seen it because she had been on the phone with Gu Siyang just now.
Yu Pingchuan was a member, but she wasn’t. The fact that this information had been sent to her was obviously a thank-you gift for accompanying him around Lincheng.
She glanced at the information on the horse. It seemed to be the favorite to win the champions.h.i.+p this year.
“It’s not bad.”
Yu Pingchuan liked this horse a lot.
“Right? It looks pretty good to me too.”
Ning Li understood immediately that he had the intention of buying it.
Other than painting, this was the only other interest that Yu Pingchuan had, so Ning Li went along with him.
This trip to Hong Kong City especially was a rare opportunity, so having fun was the most important aspect.
She nodded.
“When we arrive in the afternoon, you can go to the stable to take a look first.”
Yu Pingchuan also had the same idea.
Previously, Ning Li had stopped him from buying one. This time, he really intended to choose a good one to bid on.
The sound of the broadcast rang out.
Ning Li stood up.
“Let’s go.”
…
In the afternoon, the plane landed at the Hong Kong City airport.
Gu Tinglan had arranged for someone to pick them up.
“Mr. Yu, Miss Ning, Mr. Lin, I’m Du Feng.”
The person who had come was a man in his thirties. He was dressed in a suit and tie, and he had just the right amount of smile on his face.
“Young Master Tinglan originally intended to come over personally, but he had something urgent to attend to and could not leave. Thus, he asked me to pick you up and take you to the hotel. During these few days while you’re in Hong Kong City, you may look for me if you need anything.”
Du Feng’s att.i.tude was cordial and polite. He was not overly warm that it would make people uncomfortable, but neither was he too cold and rude.
After all, he was one of Gu Tinglan’s people.
Ning Li and the others got in the car.
Du Feng’s gaze lingered on Ning Li for an extra second, but he quickly withdrew it.
He was actually very curious.
Every year, many celebrities from all walks of life would come to the horse races event.
However, there were not many who would make Gu Tinglan give a reminder for them to be specially taken care of.
It was not Yu Pingchuan’s first time here, and he was also a high-ranking member of the Jockey Club. Thus, it was not unusual for him to receive such treatment.
However, this girl…
She looked to be around 17 or 18 years old. Moreover, judging from her appearance, she seemed to be very simple and low-key.
Of course, this could not conceal her beauty.
She did not seem to be the daughter of any particularly distinguished family.
However, she had come with Yu Pingchuan, and it could be seen that she was very close to Yu Pingchuan.
However, this was not something that he could ask about. The only thing he needed to do was to treat her well.
As Du Feng drove, he said, “Mr. Yu and Mr. Lin are both frequent visitors to the Jockey Club, but is this Miss Ning’s first time here?”
Ning Li nodded and quietly looked at the scenery outside.
She had been here in her previous life, but this was indeed her first time in this life.
Du Feng smiled.
“Then, you will have a good time this time.”
He briefly introduced a few scenic spots in Hong Kong City.
Half an hour later, the group arrived at Bansen Hotel.
“The Dutian Racecourse is over there, very close to the hotel.”
Du Feng said.
Ning Li knew clearly that the Dutian Racecourse and Bansen Hotel were both owned by the Gu family.
The Gu family was definitely the number one family in Hong Kong City.
The people of Hong Kong City could barely live without the Gu family.
Although they had gradually begun to develop in the mainland over the years, their foundation in Hong Kong City was still solid and unshakable.
Du Feng helped them check in to the hotel.
Yu Pingchuan and Lin Yaohui would be sharing a suite, while Ning Li had a separate suite.
After everything had been settled, Du Feng asked, “Mr. Yu, do you want to go to the horse farm?”
There was still a day before the horse race event, so many people would go to the horse farm ahead of time and pick the horses they liked.
Whether it was to bet on horses or buy horses, it was good to see more.
Of course, not many people were qualified to do so.
Yu Pingchuan looked at Ning Li.
The corners of Ning Li’s lips curved up.
“If you want to go, then you should go and have a look.”
…
Thus, after a short rest, Ning Li and the others headed to the horse farm.
Dutian Racecourse was the largest horse farm in the whole of Hong Kong City. It included the horse farm, the stables, the equestrian club, and so on.
Every August, this place was very lively.
They entered through the side door and went directly to the stables.
Du Feng had sent them there, but because of his duties, they did not enter together.
Lin Yaohui was thinking about what gifts to bring for his children, so he went to the gift corridor.
Finally, only Ning Li and Yu Pingchuan went in together, and soon the relevant staff came to welcome them.
At this time, some people had already come to the stables.
Obviously, they were also here to look at the horses.
Yu Pingchuan was thinking about the horse that he had taken a fancy to.
“Where is number seven?”
The horse trainer raised his hand and pointed forward.
“He’s over there. Please follow me.”
It was a brown pure-blooded horse and was of excellent quality.
Yu Pingchuan had liked it very much previously. Now that he had seen it with his own eyes, he felt even better about it.
“Ah Li, this is much better than the one I saw before, right?”
Ning Li nodded.
It was indeed a horse that looked like a champion.
Yu Pingchuan was in a good mood, so he said,
“You should go and take a look too. Is there anything that you like?”
Ning Li’s gaze swept across the two rows of horse stalls. She was indeed a little tempted.
“I’ll go over there and take a look then.”
The horse trainer asked, “Do you need someone else to show you around?”
Ning Li shook her head.
“I’ll take a look for myself first.”
The horse trainer saw that Yu Pingchuan was indeed very willing to buy the horse, so he continued to chat with Yu Pingchuan and let Ning Li go by herself.
The stables occupied a large area. Ning Li walked slowly.
Suddenly, she stopped in front of a horse stall.
She looked around and saw a horse trainer about ten meters away.
She said, “h.e.l.lo, may I know what the price for Number 17 is?”
The horse trainer looked at her and sized her up.. Calmly, he said, “I’m sorry, the price for the horse race in District 1 is only open to S-cla.s.s members.”
