Although Zhang Jingdong had expected that Zhang Xiaolong would honor his bet, he really hadn't thought he'd agree so straightforwardly.
So he said, "I didn't expect you to be such a good loser."
Zhang Xiaolong said matter‑of‑factly, "Because if you'd brought this up back at the restaurant just now, I would have agreed then too."
"You're someone who has his eyes on the future. I'm willing to walk with you and see what that future looks like."
In that instant, it all clicked for Zhang Jingdong. He immediately reached out his hand to him. "Welcome aboard. I'll give it everything I've got and live up to your expectations."
Zhang Xiaolong nodded, then reached out and shook his hand.
After that, the two of them continued chatting by the court for quite a while.
At this point, Zhang Jingdong said, "Alright, I'll go to your company tomorrow to talk about the acquisition. Are you coming with me now, or do you want to stay here a bit longer?"
