Chapter 306
Hearing Su Yang say this, everyone suddenly felt they had been taken for a huge ride in their lives. They had thought they were the hunters, but now they realized they were completely the prey, and the kind that had been clearly manipulated by someone else.
At first, they were practically tied together, humiliating and mocking Su Yang. But now the result had become them impatiently wanting to see Jia Guolong make a fool of himself, while the true master of rhythm was Su Yang.
At this moment, no one dared to look down on Su Yang anymore.
Hearing this, Liu Zixuan thought to herself, "Is this still the country bumpkin from the township who has never seen the world and has stage fright? This is completely 'playing the pig to eat the tiger'; this is the type that is quietly vicious."
She had originally thought he was their plaything and they were the masters here, but now it seemed he had been controlling the rhythm all along.
She whispered in Su Yang's ear, "I couldn't tell, you are really vicious."
Su Yang pretended not to hear and stared straight at Jia Guolong. "Young Master Jia, you heard it all. Actually, I don't want to make you bark like a dog, I don't want to make you do such things that trample on human dignity. After all, you are all people of status."
"But you hear them—they insist on you doing this. This is no longer up to me."
Jia Guolong's facial features were twisting. How could he not see that Su Yang had acted as a master of rhythm, mobilizing everyone's emotions and rhythm to humiliate him?
But the other party had said everything that could be said, and he had absolutely no way out. Say there isn't enough money? The other party gave him time to raise it. What else could he do?
But if he really barked like a dog, doing such a vulgar and shameful thing, then in the future, he would really have no face to hang out in this circle.
Let alone him, even a normal person forced to do such a thing would have no face to see their friends in their circle.
Admittedly, they had forced many people who sought their help to do such things before. They had even done things more vulgar and shameless than this.
But those were cases of bullying others by relying on their status, and they weren't in the same social circle.
But now, everyone was in the same circle. If one had to say the social strata were different, it was that Su Yang's level wasn't high enough.
If there was someone here who was forced to bark like a dog and forced to lose face without causing too much damage to their dignity, it would definitely be Su Yang.
A Town Mayor from a backward area in a remote province—if he could really do these amusing things for them in this circle and bring back two projects worth over 10 million, that would be a huge bargain.
To tell the truth, even doing such shameless and bottomless things in front of them, Su Yang's level really wasn't qualified.
Now everything was reversed. Making him lie at Su Yang's feet and bark like a dog—wasn't this turning the world upside down?
Even more hateful was that all his ways out were blocked, and that damn lighting technician had actually gathered the dazzling lights on him. Every micro-expression of his would be seen clearly by everyone.
There were even some people who didn't get along with him who took out their phones, ready to take photos and videos.
They really loved to stir up trouble.
However, at this time, Tian Xiaofei stood up and said, "Su Yang, don't go too far. Everything should have a limit. If it really doesn't work, I'll add two more projects for you."
"Offending us versus getting two more projects and actual benefits—you choose one."
Su Yang was actually a bit tempted when he heard this. Making Jia Guolong and the others bark like a dog would just make him feel good; it wouldn't bring him much vested interest.
Because his status wasn't in this circle, he couldn't brag about this every day to raise his status, nor could he exchange this for political achievements.
But four projects worth over 10 million each landing in their Huatian Town would bring real benefits and advantages to the common people.
However, before he could speak, Jia Guolong suddenly found a target for his frustration. He raised his hand and slapped Tian Xiaofei. "You damn bastard, you still have the face to nag here?"
"Who told you to make the decision to change the odds to 1-to-20? You pay the extra 10 million, damn it!"
"And who was the one who thought they were clever and added the vulgar, bottomless bet of barking like a dog? You did all this, damn it!"
"So, you pay this gambling debt."
Tian Xiaofei was stunned by this slap. He thought, "Didn't I do this for your own good? Didn't I follow you to step on Su Yang?"
"Oh, now Su Yang has won, you can't bear the bet yourself, and then you push it onto me? Are you even a human being, damn it?"
Zhang Jiangbo on the side had long kept his mouth shut, not daring to say a word, fearing that if he were careless, this debt would be pinned on him. He didn't want to bark like a dog, and he definitely didn't want to pay that 10 million.
The key was that even if he wanted to pay, he couldn't.
At this time, others looked at Tian Xiaofei with even more mocking and playful eyes. "Don't you like being a follower? Don't you like being a dog-legged lackey? Now it's good, your master bit you. If you have the ability, bite back!"
That's right, those who were secretly jealous and angry were the ones who had wanted to be Jia Guolong's lackeys before but hadn't succeeded because their status wasn't as high as Tian Xiaofei's; the other party didn't give them that face at all.
Now it was good; he had been a dog until he ate dog shit. Tian Xiaofei was directly stunned. He couldn't say a word now because these words were indeed all said by him.
It was his own decision that had rendered the atmosphere to this point, and it was his own lack of restraint in increasing the bet that had made Jia Guolong lose face to the ends of the earth.
Jia Guolong took advantage of Tian Xiaofei's daze to say to Su Yang, "Su Yang, now you've heard it clearly. These things were all caused by Tian Xiaofei. The thing I promised, the 1-to-10 odds, which is 10 million, I will transfer to you within half an hour. The other 10 million is his business, and the dog barking is also his business."
"Of course, I was indeed a bit excessive in targeting you tonight. So, to express my apologies and to support Ruohan's work, I plan to support four investment projects worth over 10 million for your county and town."
"Two of them are explicitly for your Huatian Town. As for the other two, it depends on how Ruohan allocates them in the county. Do you think this is okay?" He had long lost his condescending temperament, and at this moment, there was even a trace of pleading in his eyes.
Because every debt has its debtor, he was the true initiator of this matter. If Su Yang held on and didn't let go, the 20 million and the dog barking would all be his business. No matter how he raised the money, he had to provide the total amount, but he definitely couldn't escape the dog barking.
And now, everything depended on Su Yang's attitude. One word from Su Yang could let him escape, and one word could let him fall into a hell from which he could never lift his head.
Now, not only him, but everyone present turned their eyes to Su Yang. They wanted to know what decision Su Yang would make.
