Chapter 231 Day 227 of Being the Boss
However, not all horses are Seabiscuit. Xu Yisong bet that the pony in front of him, which looked very similar to Seabiscuit, would be able to make it into the top three. Unfortunately, the horse only finished fourth.
Xu Yisong was not sad even though he did not win the bet. He even went to find the owner of the horse with great interest, intending to sign an honorary adoption agreement with the pony.
Maybe it is fate that tonight is the last game for this chestnut pony, because it was injured in a game not long ago. Although it has been treated, its racing condition is much worse than before and it is no longer suitable to appear on the field.
This horse's previous racing performance has always been very unstable. Sometimes it performs very well, but most of the time it always loses the race for various reasons.
Such horses will not be treated very well after retirement.
Originally, the boss was planning to sell it at a low price, but he happened to meet Xu Yisong, so Xu Yisong simply bought it outright.
So Xu Yisong owned a racehorse named "Chess" tonight.
Of course, Xu Yisong couldn't bring it back to Korea, and she had no place to keep it there. But she could send Chess to her grandmother's farm, where there was a special horse farm with professional breeders, and in the future, she could let Chess recover from his injuries, continue to participate in competitions, or live in retirement.
Chess is not very old, only five years old. As a thoroughbred horse, five years old is the golden age for racehorses. If it weren't for the injury, it could have run for another two or three years.
Chess also has a rebellious personality that matches his age. Even his previous horse trainer couldn't make Chess completely obedient.
Xu Yisong bought Chess but did not sign a trainer, which means that Chess will belong completely to Xu Yisong, but if it wants to return to the racing field in the future, it will have to find a new trainer.
Now Xu Yisong takes Chess away from the stable and the boss will send someone to help Xu Yisong deliver the horse to the designated location, but they will not take care of future matters. So Xu Yisong will need to tame the hot-tempered Chess himself in the future.
When the game was over, Xu Yisong went to the racecourse to watch Chess. At first glance, everyone realized how wild Chess was, but the more he realized this, the more Xu Yisong liked it.
Jackson and the others were startled by Chess's sudden leap and snort, but Xu Yisong was the only one who took the apple and walked over in high spirits. The horse trainer standing nearby was afraid that the sponsor who had just paid would be kicked by the horse, so he stood aside carefully and was ready to rescue him at any time.
The object of her concern was not afraid at all, she was even a little excited. She slowed down her breathing, looked at the impatient Chess, and locked eyes with him. When they were close enough, she slowly stretched out her hand and said, "Hello, Chess, would you like an apple?"
Chess stamped its hooves on the spot, and then miraculously became quiet, but it just looked at Xu Yisong quietly without moving.
Looking at this scene, Xu Yisong inexplicably thought of the scene he had seen in a movie. It seemed that the rider Red was in the same situation when he first met Seabiscuit.
She looked at the apple in her hand, broke it in half, handed one half to Chess, and kept the other half for herself. "We'll each have half. If you accept, I'll take you home."
This time, Chess accepted Xu Yisong's kindness. It ate the apple from Xu Yisong's hand while staring at Xu Yisong until Xu Yisong also took a bite of the apple.
"It's really rare." The horse trainer who has been taking care of Chess for almost a year has never seen Chess so obedient in all this time, and the way he looks at Xu Yisong is a little more inquiring.
Xu Yisong herself actually found it incredible. After all, she was very clear about her strange physique that did not attract many small animals. Apart from Huang Baobao, she had not seen many small animals that were willing to take the initiative to get close to her.
Xu Yisong couldn't help but feel pleasantly surprised by the sudden kindness shown by the unruly Chess. She became a little bolder and reached out tentatively to Chess.
Chess took a small step back at first, but did not show much resistance when Xu Yisong reached out his hand, so Xu Yisong actually touched this fiery pony in less than half an hour of being with Chess.
"!" Xu Yisong was so excited when she touched Chess's warm and soft fur, but she was afraid of scaring Chess, so she could only scream silently in her heart.
She stroked his fur a few times, then said to Chess in a soft and gentle voice, "You are my Sea Biscuit."
Xu Yisong is not a person who is very obsessed with small animals, but she liked Chess the first time she saw it. There was no reason, she just liked it at first sight.
After spending some time with Chess and feeding him some carrots, Xu Yisong discussed with the owner of the horse farm and decided to send Chess to the horse farm in Yunnan. Because the journey was long, Xu Yisong paid a little more money so that Chess could be more comfortable.
When Xu Yisong decided to buy Chess, he called his grandmother to discuss the issue of Chess. At this time, all he needed to do was to coordinate with the horse farm here.
While Xu Yisong was discussing the chess transfer process, the others felt that it might take a while for Xu Yisong to finish processing, so after taking a look at the pony she had been thinking about, they went to the horse farm to race.
Xu Yisong discussed the contract with his boss and stayed with Chess for a while to develop their relationship. After Chess went to Yunnan, they wouldn't be able to see each other for a long time, and maybe this little horse would forget about her soon.
Seeing that Xu Yisong and Chess got along very well, the horse trainer suggested that Xu Yisong take Chess out for a try. Although Chess was a little undisciplined, after all, he had been a racehorse for so many years and had several horse trainers following him, so there was actually no problem in letting Xu Yisong ride for a while.
However, this proposal was rejected by Xu Yisong. One reason was that Chess had just participated in the competition tonight, and the other was that Xu Yisong took into consideration the injury on Chess's leg. Although it would not have a big impact if she rode Chess for a few laps, Xu Yisong still did not want to do it.
She stayed in the stable, feeding Chess and chatting with him, while sending messages to Kwon Ji-yong. Although Kwon Ji-yong was still on the stage and didn't read the messages at all, it didn't stop Xu Yisong from sharing with him the new friend she made today - a beautiful pony.
