Chapter 912 Recruiting Cowboys
Mark was a little anxious, and couldn't help frowning: "Mr. Zhao's salary is so high, and the place of work is so close to the town, what are you waiting for? Isn't this satisfactory?"

A tall cowboy sneered and said: "Mark, the conditions you said are indeed very good, but...we don't really trust your new boss!"

Mark frowned and said, "Harden, what do you mean?"

"Your new boss is an Asian, right? There has never been an Asian ranch owner in the county." Harden squinted at Zhao Lei and said, "I don't think your new boss has any experience in running a ranch, Hongshi The ranch will be closing down again soon, so there's not much interest in the job."

Harden's words obviously spoke the minds of many cowboys, and many people nodded in agreement, and another tall and thin man even taunted Zhao Lei loudly: "Looking at the appearance of this Asian, I'm afraid he can't even ride a horse? If you want us to work for such a rookie, there is no way!"

Many cowboys laughed, and Harden said triumphantly: "Mark, do you dare to let your boss race horses with me? If he can be faster than me, I would rather work for him for free for half a year!"

Before Mark could speak, Zhao Lei said to Harden indifferently: "If I win, will you really work for me for free for half a year?"

Zhao Lei's words stunned Harden for a moment, and he couldn't help but mutter in his heart, is this oriental guy really good at riding horses?
However, in front of so many people, Harden was embarrassed to take back what he had just said, and quickly added, "I keep my word, but you have to ride your own horse!"

Zhao Lei smiled slightly and said, "What a coincidence, I just brought my horse with me today, so let's compete!"

"Harden, compare with him!"

"I don't believe his riding skills are better than yours!"

"Don't lose face to us Texas cowboys!"

The others started booing one after another, making it hard for Harden to get off the tiger, so they could only agree to Zhao Lei's suggestion.

So everyone swarmed outside the city hall, not even looking for a job.

Zhao Lei and Mark came here on horseback, and their horses were left in front of the city hall. When the cowboys saw Xiao Hei, they all showed surprise.

"This dark horse looks great!"

"It's so beautiful. Whose horse is it? I've never seen it before."

"I bet it's a thoroughbred racehorse!"

The cowboys more or less knew how to distinguish good horses from bad ones. After seeing Xiao Hei, they all praised with one voice, and they all seemed very excited.For these cowboys who deal with horses all day long, it is really exciting to see such a good horse.

Only Harden's face was not very good-looking. Everyone said that he had never seen this horse before, and he immediately thought that this dark horse of Shen Jun must belong to Zhao Lei.

The fact is exactly the same, Zhao Lei stepped forward to untie Xiao Hei's rein, and said to Harden indifferently: "Where is your horse? Where are we racing?"

Zhao Lei's words calmed down the other cowboys. Old John looked at Harden with a smile and said, "This is a good show, Harden. I look forward to us becoming colleagues."

Harden said angrily: "It doesn't matter if the horse is good, the key still depends on the rider! I don't believe that this Asian can ride better than me!"

Zhao Lei said calmly, "I don't know how your riding skills are, but your eloquence is top-notch!"

This made Harden very angry, and he immediately went back to prepare the horse.Others surrounded Zhao Lei to the open space outside the town, waiting to see a good show.

The news that Harden was going to race horses with the new owner of Red Rock Ranch quickly spread in the small town of Columbus, attracting more people to watch the excitement.

When they first heard the news, everyone thought Harden would win.However, when they saw Xiao Hei, they became a little uncertain.There are no such handsome horses in the entire town of Columbus. It is really hard to say who will win and who will win!

It didn't take long for Harden to ride over on his horse. It was a fat yellow horse, and it looked very good. Of course, there was still a big gap between it and Xiao Heibi.

After seeing Xiao Hei, Harden's horse was visibly disturbed and kept snorting.Although Harden kept comforting it, the situation didn't improve much, but he didn't dare to get too close to Xiao Hei.

The two horses were soon standing before the start line, and the finish line was a gas station a mile away.This race distance was also proposed by Harden. His yellow fat horse is best at running this distance race, which can be said to have taken advantage of it.

"Three, two, one, run!" Old John gave the order to the two, and as soon as the words fell, Xiao Hei and the fat yellow horse rushed out of the starting line and ran towards the finish line quickly.

Harden desperately urged the love horse, bent on winning the game.To him, working for someone else for half a year is not a big deal, but losing face in a game is a big deal, so he has to win.Under the urging of the owner, the yellow fat horse ran wildly, panting heavily from exhaustion.

And Zhao Lei loosened the rein a little bit, allowing the horse to play freely.Xiao Hei also didn't use his full strength and ran forward with a very elegant posture.However, even so, Xiao Hei was still half a horse ahead of the fat yellow horse. No matter how Harden urged his mount, he couldn't catch up.

Columbus Town was originally a small agricultural town, and many people more or less knew some horses. Seeing this scene, they couldn't help shaking their heads secretly, knowing that Harden would lose.

The fact is exactly the same, and then Xiao Hei ran faster and faster, leaving the yellow fat horse far behind, and crossed the finish line ahead of more than a dozen horses.

After crossing the finish line, Xiao Hei stopped quickly, raised his front hooves and hissed at the fat yellow horse behind him.The galloping yellow fat horse trembled with fright, turned around and ran away immediately, no matter how Harden pulled the reins, it was of no avail!

This scene stunned the others, and Old John couldn't help but patted Mark on the shoulder and said, "Anyone who still says the boss is a rookie must be blind!"

Mark also shook his head in surprise: "I only know that the boss has a good horse, but I didn't expect it to be so good, let alone his riding skills are so superb, stronger than us cowboys!"

The cowboys who originally planned to see Zhao Lei make a fool of themselves stopped talking, and many people cast admiring glances at Zhao Lei.

Most of the cowboys are straightforward people. Zhao Lei's superb riding skills and the incomparably handsome Xiao Hei have completely conquered them.Since Zhao Lei is not a rookie, there is no shame in working for him.Thinking of the superior treatment promised by Mark, many people secretly moved their minds and planned to try their luck at the Red Stone Ranch.

At this time, Harden managed to control his mount, returned to Zhao Lei and said dejectedly: "I lost!"
