When it came to the 4th ball, he didn't even bother with a bridge, just shooting with one hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, he sunk 4 more balls consecutively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now there was only the black 8 left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Zhang Jingdong, in a show-off fashion, kept his eyes fixed on Lin Qingci and went for a blind shot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black 8, like an obedient child, obediently rolled into the bottom pocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qingci was stunned on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because she originally thought she was quite the pool expert. When Zhang Jingdong said he would give her a handicap, she thought she'd play the fool to win a surprising victory, but who would have thought Zhang Jingdong was the real tiger!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jingdong struck a cool pose: \"So, how about it, impressive?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qingci snapped back to reality, pretending to be calm: \"Hmph... We'll see!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jingdong sighed: \"I just love that unwilling-to-lose attitude of yours!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the following two hours, they played 17 games, and without exception, Zhang Jingdong won them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Lin Qingci suddenly realized she might have fallen for Zhang Jingdong's trick!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason he gave her a handicap was actually to save time on each game, with the goal of winning as many games as possible, betting she didn't have enough conservative pajamas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she had a lot of pajamas, indeed the conservative ones did not exceed 8 sets, while the rest were...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she was too carried away during the game to think of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, regret came too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jingdong noticed her unusualness and understood why, then asked: \"So, do you want to keep playing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qingci picked up on the teasing in his tone, and a bit of stubbornness arose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, let's play one last game. I refuse to believe that under these circumstances, I can't win a single game against you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jingdong boasted: \"Back then, Sun Wukong didn't believe the Buddha would press him under a mountain for five hundred years either, but the result was...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I really want to ask, President Lin, you've lost 18 games already, that's 18 sets of pajamas. You should honor the bet, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qingci reluctantly glared at Zhang Jingdong: \"Don't worry, I keep my word!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as you say that, I'm relieved!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Zhang Jingdong quickly set up the balls again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time it was still Lin Qingci's break, but she didn't sink a single ball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jingdong burst out laughing: \"President Lin, it seems you've lost your confidence. Looks like this game isn't looking good for you either. Why don't you just admit defeat?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qingci skillfully picked out 4 difficult balls and placed them at the mouth of the pockets, then said indignantly: \"Just make your move already!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jingdong shook his head with a smile, then pocketed 7 balls in one go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now the black 8 was near the left middle pocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jingdong smugly glanced at Lin Qingci: \"Should I spare this shot?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Lin Qingci knew Zhang Jingdong would most likely make it and win the game, she still shook her head: \"No spare!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jingdong saw she was truly annoyed, so he intended to let her have a shot. Fixing his eyes on her again, he went for another blind shot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But perhaps due to a slip at the moment of the shot, the black 8 just hit the pocket's edge and bounced out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jingdong exaggeratedly regretted: \"Ah... this ball dared to be disobedient!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qingci finally seized the opportunity to chide him: \"See what happens when you show off! Look at you now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jingdong shrugged: \"It's fine, it's just one shot anyway. It's not like you can clear the table in one go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Daring to underestimate me, are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm not underestimating you. I'm just speaking from the facts of the past dozen games.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qingci pursed her lips without further argument, focusing intently on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She carefully observed the table's situation before launching a counterattack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her first shot neatly pocketed the 9 ball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, a long shot pocketed the 13 ball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then another bank shot pocketed the 10 ball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now only the black 8 remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jingdong, instead of being nervous, intentionally commented: \"President Lin, here comes your chance again. You won't let me down, will you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could finish, Lin Qingci suddenly made a brisk shot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black 8 cleanly rolled into the middle pocket following the cue ball's strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qingci gleefully looked at Zhang Jingdong: \"Haha... That'll teach you for running your mouth, I won!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jingdong blinked rapidly, then looked relieved: \"Tsk tsk, indeed what goes around comes around. Heaven spares no one!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright then, I'll honor the bet. What do you want me to do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qingci quickly thought for a moment, then, with a rare mischievous smile, said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You've won so many games from me, you must really like playing pool. In that case, why don't you lie on the table and let me play a real shot of pool!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wha... what!\" Zhang Jingdong looked utterly surprised: \"President Lin, you usually seem so gentle, but who knew you could be so ruthless and... crude!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And you dare to call me crude earlier, you're the real crude one here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qingci originally just wanted to scare Zhang Jingdong, but hearing this, especially seeing him so out of composure for the first time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then feigned calmness: \"Whatever you say, I'm just asking if you're willing to accept defeat or not?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I…\" Zhang Jingdong pretended to look troubled: \"But... it's too risky! Are you trying to murder your husband?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qingci suppressed her laughter: \"Alright, since you can't take a loss, then forget it. As punishment, I won't carry out my punishment tonight either!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Zhang Jingdong immediately dropped the act: \"… Alright then, if that's the case, bring it on!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he went directly to the pool table and struck a dramatic pose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qingci initially thought she'd kill two birds with one stone, making fun of Zhang Jingdong while avoiding her punishment, but unexpectedly, Zhang Jingdong was this daring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And upon seeing Zhang Jingdong's actions, she suddenly realized she might have fallen for Zhang Jingdong's trick again.\u003C\u002Fp>",1061,"2026-06-05T16:20:39.133Z",1,"novelbin.me","add31895999737d299958731816643497314233873c2a41a12642288933e68ca","forcing-me-to-be-a-godly-tycoon-right-chapter-975","forcing-me-to-be-a-godly-tycoon-right-chapter-973",1411,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fforcing-me-to-be-a-godly-tycoon-right-cover.jpg"]
