Campus Ace Girl-Chapter 713 - 714: My Older Brother is the Best in the World

Chapter 713: Chapter 714: My Older Brother is the Best in the World

Old Master Bo’s mahjong tile slid from his grasp, his gaze fixed intently on the sweetheart, burning with eagerness.

Gu Anxi propped up her chin. "Is it this tile? If it is, I’ve won. A pure suit."

She stretched out her hand. "Money, please."

Old Master Bo looked; indeed, it was a pure suit.

He then glanced at his own tiles. That discarded tile would have given him a ready hand. Normally, he would never have allowed it, but how could a ready hand be more important than his granddaughter-in-law, who was worth over two hundred billion?

So, with a hearty laugh, he said, "Won again, have you? Your luck is quite good!"

Bo Nianyao’s son, who was beside him, was about to remind him, but Old Master Bo shot him a look. "I’ve lived this long; don’t you think I know how to play mahjong?"

Bo Nianyao’s son kindly interjected, "That tile shouldn’t have been discarded. A slip of the hand doesn’t have to count."

Old Master Bo was exasperated. How could his grandson be so dense? He was clearly trying to let her win. What was more important now than making the little rascal happy?

So he glared at Bo Nianyao’s son. "I *wanted* to discard this tile."

Everyone around understood what was happening and covered their mouths to stifle their laughter. It seemed Old Master Bo had truly taken a liking to her!

It was all thanks to Gu Anxi’s financial clout!

After this, Gu Anxi had smooth sailing, winning a good chunk of Old Master Bo’s private savings, and the old master didn’t feel the pinch at all.

Eventually, Gu Anxi took pity on the old gentleman and let her Youngest Uncle take her place to play with the elders. Youngest Uncle Bo played an average game and lost a considerable amount in less than an hour.

When the sweetheart stepped out for a moment and returned, she started complaining that he had lost her "seed money." Meanwhile, Eldest Brother and Min Xin were smiling, thoroughly pleased. Eldest Brother chuckled, fiddling with a mahjong tile. "Look at you, so smug. Now that your movie is a blockbuster, you can’t just let Xichen be the one to throw money around. If he really wanted to win, wouldn’t that be easy? He’s quite skilled at our traditional games."

"Youngest Uncle?" Gu Anxi tilted her head, looking at her Youngest Uncle with a sweet smile.

Bo Xichen smiled. "I was just playing casually."

Eldest Brother, naturally the highest-ranking person present, stood up. "I’m getting a little hungry."

Saying this, he looked towards Mrs. Bo. "Sister-in-law, please bring out your best food and wine."

Gu Anxi hmphed softly. "You’re my Eldest Brother, so why are you calling her Sister-in-law?"

At this point, Old Lady Wang stepped in to scold her; otherwise, Gu Anxi would have been utterly outrageous.

Old Lady Wang scolded laughingly, "You really think you’re of the same generation as him?"

Eldest Brother merely smiled. "Let her call me whatever she likes."

During the meal, he then said to Bo Nianyao, "I actually considered adopting her as my daughter, but it seems it’s too late for her to change how she addresses me. This little rascal has always been accustomed to being lawless."

He sighed dramatically.

Bo Nianyao chuckled in agreement and finally looked at his own son. "Xichen, Zai Zai still needs you to discipline her more. If she makes any mistakes, it’ll be your fault for not managing her well."

Bo Xichen looked at Gu Anxi.

The sweetheart said obediently, "I will listen to Youngest Uncle." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Everyone in the room looked at Bo Xichen, their eyes filled with admiration and envy.

This utterly unruly little rascal actually listens to him!

As they were talking, Bo Xichen’s phone rang. He glanced at it and then said to Gu Anxi, "It’s Changqing."

Gu Anxi responded with an "Oh."

Bo Xichen answered the call, listened for a few moments, then smiled, said, "Thank you," and hung up.

Turning back, he said with a smile, "Your brother really dotes on you. He’s arranged for ’Da Hui’ to be screened at all entertainment venues under his banner and related ones. We have no issues with the copyright for this, and the data will be directly synced with the ticketing center shortly."

Gu Anxi said "Oh" again, not saying anything else, just looking at him.

Bo Xichen reached out and patted her head. "He’s added tens of thousands of screens. But because they’re in high-end venues, the ticket prices are set quite high. You can look forward to it. I hear many people are coming to support it, all influential figures, watching this heartwarming anime. Some grown men were even moved to tears. In short, your brother has really gone all out this time."

The sweetheart was also quite touched. In truth, her competitive streak wasn’t particularly strong; she just wanted to present Da Hui to everyone. But now, the word-of-mouth seemed to be quite good...

Bo Jin also smiled and said, "Arrangements for the welfare homes are also in place."

Gu Anxi pursed her lips. "Aunt, didn’t I receive a five hundred million copyright fee for this film? Plus what we earned from the distribution company in Beicheng. I want to donate all of it to the Yunxi Charity Fund."

Bo Jin wholly agreed.

Others also voiced their approval. Only Old Master Bo watched anxiously. "That adds up to over a billion, right? Are you just going to let it all go down the drain like that?"

Gu Anxi turned her head to look at Old Master Bo. "It’s called charity. You don’t get it!"

Old Master Bo still felt the pinch. "What do you mean I don’t get it? It’s just... that’s too much to donate all at once."

Mrs. Bo placed a piece of food on his plate, looking stern. "It’s Zai Zai’s own money; she can spend it however she likes."

Old Master Bo still tried to argue, "In the future, when she and Xichen have children, they’ll need money, won’t they? Hey... listen to me, everyone, raising one child costs a lot of money."

No one paid him any mind.

"If they have a second child, that would require even more money."

Still, no one paid him any mind.

Old Master Bo was quite disheartened...

This meal lasted until ten o’clock at night. As the party was winding down, they checked the figures.

Real-time international box office:

Da Hui: 530,000,000.

Speed 9: 480,000,000.

Da Hui was ahead by fifty million, and Gu Changqing hadn’t unleashed his full efforts yet.

The guests at the banquet were in high spirits and reluctant to leave, eager to wait for the night’s final results.

The two Secretaries-General started making predictions:

"Da Hui will end up ahead by about sixty million," Wang Yuan said after a moment.

Wang Jingchuan smiled. "Sixty million isn’t a lot, especially when the domestic box office lead is only about ten million. The advantage isn’t significant."

Wang Yuan disagreed. "This is already an impressive comeback! The previous installment of the Speed series held the all-time record for opening day box office."

Wang Jingchuan glanced at his phone, then said, "I predict it’ll surge by an extra hundred million today."

Right now, on social media feeds, Weibo, and various platforms, the stats for "Da Hui" were exploding. It was generating a huge buzz, and many people were heading out to catch a late-night screening...

Wang Yuan looked at him. "There are only two hours left. That’s hardly possible, is it? Aren’t you underestimating the Speed series?"
