Chapter 10, targeted.

The first sentence upon dismounting is to confirm the decision to take this horse

He bought your horse

When will you find him to compare horsemanship

Zhang Chi casually said: "Alright, then come on!"

At this moment, neither Kimberly nor Mason is smiling; one is quietly working while the other is quietly sipping the drink in hand, seemingly indifferent to the malicious teasing from the nearby cowboys.

Zhang Chi glanced at it and then reached out to answer the phone

Where does Zhang Chi believe these things

The female voice on the other end of the phone said

Aren't you just bullying him? Is that how you want to see him fall off the horse?

The horse he is currently riding has clearly undergone meticulous training; it can execute commands from someone as inexperienced as Zhang Chi very well, and it is also quite comfortable to ride.

Because the horse has been trained so well, it can clearly receive even the slightest command and act according to your intentions

Mason then said: "I can ride, but my horsemanship is average"

At the same time, Zhang Chi also understands that in America, everyone faces discrimination; however, the only group that is not discriminated against is the wealthy. Here, as long as you have made money, any race or skin color must take a back seat.

Such occurrences are quite common in small bars in the countryside, where these individuals seem to exert their influence over everything. Of course, the main focus is still on the sports matches. Whenever there is a significant game, similar incidents tend to happen in the bars where these cowboys gather.

At this moment, Kimberly explained, "I heard him say that he had never worked on a ranch before"

I have serious matters to discuss with you, are you Mr. Zhang Chi

However, in such small gambling situations, no one would place a large bet. Even if someone wanted to, the bar owner would not allow it, because once the amount is significant, it becomes gambling.

At this moment, upon returning home, Zhang Chi was unaware that he had become someone else's wager; however, even if he were to know, Zhang Chi would not care.

Mason extended his hand: "Deposit"

At this time, the bar was already bustling with people, with five or six cowboys in their thirties and forties drinking and chatting, discussing everything from national affairs to which woman on television was beautiful.

Kimberly turned around and wrote a line on the small blackboard hanging nearby, indicating the bet, with the initials of the person placing the wager written below it

Just as I was about to hang up the phone, a woman's voice came through: "Wait a moment, please let me speak first"

I have not yet seen a Chinese person fall off a horse, nor do I know if the fall is the same as ours

Do you think he can last for two years

There are quite a few short individuals, but in terms of being a spokesperson, being short may not be considered an advantage

Mason did not look back, merely nodding slightly.

I still think it should be two years, charging fifteen dollars!

I want to bet, it's also ten dollars, that this Chinese person will put the ranch up for sale in six months

How can you be sure that he can live for two more years

Men are generally similar everywhere, with politics and women always being the most important topics in their lives

Some people found it a bit strange, and then asked: "Has he worked on a ranch before?"

Mason did not say much; he simply nodded to indicate that he understood

Mason said: "I have never worked on a ranch, and I bear no marks of a cowboy"

Immediately following was a burst of laughter

Putting down the phone, I continued to browse information online; now, the hope of filling the ranch with cattle surpasses everything.

Spokesperson? Are you joking? Alright, you've been talking for a long time, and I'm tired of listening. Save your breath, I could use a break for my ears. Goodbye

Mounting the horse, Zhang Chi gently tapped the horse's belly, and the horse beneath him began to trot lightly.

At this moment, another cowboy said: "Chinese people can study mathematics and become doctors, but running a ranch, I hear, also involves raising cattle. I find it quite amusing, don't you think?"

Upon returning home, Zhang Chi took out his notebook and continued to browse information online, as he was preparing to purchase cattle next.

Who knows this person is still so stubborn, even after hanging up several times, the phone continues to ring incessantly

No matter what you say, I do not need it

Mason's voice suddenly left the cowboys in the bar stunned

A bearded cowboy, with a face full of beard, asked while drinking.

Mason said: "I just feel that life should have some surprises. A Chinese person running a ranch is already a surprise. Who knows if he can make this surprise even bigger?"

Ha ha ha ha!

Mason felt that most of his money might have vanished, yet he simply did not like these people in his heart

Because a newcomer arrives in a new group, they are bound to hear some nonsensical talk, which is the same everywhere. Zhang Chi grew up in the countryside, and in some villages, it is not uncommon for larger families to bully smaller ones. Now, it is merely these cowboys making fun of themselves.

This is it

In the same position, with the same drink, Mason sat down, still drinking while directing his gaze onto the surface of the bar counter.

It is not a specialized cattle auction, but rather a chaotic mix of everything, including cattle, sheep, horses, and even some small pigs and so on

I believe that within two years, the Chinese will be crying as they put the ranch up for sale again

Everyone works on the ranch, or has grown up on the farm; those who work there are certainly different from people in other professions

Hmm

A group of people working on a ranch actually look down upon a ranch owner who can acquire a ranch worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. The mental capacity of these individuals is likely not much greater than that of a monkey.

Another cowboy was also shouting

Can he ride a horse

The cowboy's words elicited a burst of laughter from the surrounding cowboys

Five or six cowboys placed their bets in a flurry

Zhang Chi felt a bit awkward; it is a reasonable request for them to ask for a deposit. One cannot just book someone else's horse without any payment and leave like that

If Zhang Chi can feel comfortable, it is evident that the efforts made by the teacher are quite substantial

At this moment, Mason spoke up: "Kimberly, place a bet of ten dollars for me as well; I believe that Chinese man can last for two years"

Zhang Chi did not expect that this telecommunications fraudster actually knew his name, and the key point is that the Chinese pronunciation is quite similar, at least much better than that George from Kimberly. George, Zhang Chi, these are clearly unrelated.

Today, Zhang Chi truly has very little money on him. Generally speaking, Zhang Chi usually has some money, but today, that little amount has been nearly robbed by the owner of the tack shop. Now, he only has enough money to buy an ice pop from a roadside vendor.

Zhang Chi's equestrian skills are not particularly impressive, but having accompanied his uncle to the homes of his drinking buddies, he has gained a certain understanding of horse behavior and is not a complete novice in horseback riding

As he continued to flip through the pages, Zhang Chi came across a piece of useful information: in a town located approximately two hours away from Amber, there would be an auction taking place in a few days

"No need!" Zhang Chi said

However, Zhang Chi also had a way. He pointed to the saddle on the horse's back and said, "Just put these here for now. When I come back with the money, I will take them away."

Mason, I heard that a Chinese person has come here

"About a year? I think that's about right"

For Zhang Chi, the most powerful counterattack against the malice of these cowboys is not to engage in a fight with them, but to manage his ranch well and earn money, which would be the greatest humiliation to them

Zhang Chi rode a lap and dismounted in front of Mason

Certainly, when it comes to equestrianism, it cannot be said that Zhang Chi's riding skills even approach the realm of true horsemanship. He is merely an ordinary rider who requires the horse to decisively execute his commands, without any instances of resisting the reins.

It is not that Zhang Chi is self-deprecating, but rather that he has a profound understanding of his own appearance. Not to mention anything else, just his height alone barely crosses the threshold in the domestic context, let alone here in the United States, where there are plenty of tall and robust individuals on the streets

Thus, the two men decisively settled the matter. Subsequently, Zhang Chi returned to the ranch, while Old Mason opened the gate for him. After closing the gate, he mounted his horse and once again made his way to the bar

In fact, Old Mason does not have a favorable view of Zhang Chi; rather, he has an even greater disdain for those cowboys who readily use coarse language, specifically the two tables of cowboys present now

Mason nodded and said: "I bought a horse"

A cattle ranch without cattle cannot still be called a ranch

However, I do not have any money with me right now. After I withdraw the money tomorrow, I will come back to pick up the horse. What do you think about that?" Zhang Chi asked.

This thing is not a problem in certain states, but here it is illegal. If Kimberly dares to do this, the tax authorities will certainly give her a good lesson

Zhang Chi was just about to watch the next video when he suddenly noticed that his phone had started ringing

The so-called "riding the wave" may be unknown to the general public; it actually refers to the synchronization of a person’s movements with those of a horse while riding. When the undulations of the rider perfectly align with the horse's movements, both the rider and the horse experience a sense of comfort.

Upon hearing this, Mason also withdrew his hand.

Some cowboys do not understand

How about we make a bet? Kimberly, Kimberly, write this down on your little blackboard: I bet one year, in one year that Chinese person will be gone! I wager ten dollars! Who else wants to bet?

Upon picking it up and taking a look, I found it to be an unfamiliar number, so I hung up immediately. There are quite a few phone scams around here, and generally, if it's not a familiar number, Zhang Chi simply ignores it

After running a lap around the fence, Zhang Chi understood why Kimberly said that Mason's horsemanship was exceptional. At that moment, he also began to believe Kimberly's assertion that Mason, the old cowboy, was once an outstanding horse trainer

A group of cowboys laughed and said

Two years, I think one year is enough. How deep can the pockets be to buy that ranch? After raising the cattle for a year, if half of them die, he will have to leave with nothing.

Zhang Chi's first thought that jumped into his mind was: How come telecom fraud has changed its tactics now? What is this new approach? A spokesperson? What kind of image am I supposed to represent?

"No, no! How about this, can I come over to discuss it in person?" The voice on the other end of the phone sounded quite anxious.

I am the manager of an outdoor equipment store, and I would like to invite you to be our spokesperson

Upon seeing the information, Zhang Chi took out paper and a pen to jot it down, and also marked it on his phone to review it later.
