Chapter 65 - 65 Pretending to be Poor?
65 Pretending to be Poor?
Before she could walk in, she heard the laughter of a man and a woman coming from the supervisor’s office.
“Look at my new clothes. Do they look good? Don’t you think they’re lacking something?”
“What’s there to lack? I think you’re just lacking a man!”
“Hehehe! How annoying. I meant to say that I still lack a branded bag!”
“Come here and let me hug you. I’ll buy you two!”
The two people who spoke were the supervisor of the welfare lottery center, Zhang Tian, and the supervisor’s secretary, Zhang Jing.
The two of them were originally discussing the huge prize.
The huge prize Ye Xuan won this time was unprecedented. The huge prize pool of the welfare lottery was almost sucked clean by him.
As the staff of the welfare lottery center, they had to treat the winner of such a grand prize well.
In order to receive such an important client, Zhang Jing went to the mall and bought clothes from international brands worth tens of thousands of yuan.
This simple green dress shirt was worth more than 30,000 yuan!
How many things could a shirt that cost more than 30,000 yuan buy? It was enough to cover the living expenses of a family for a year!
Not only did his secretary, Zhang Jing, have expensive clothes, but the suit that Supervisor Zhang Tian was wearing was also custom-made. One suit was worth more than a hundred thousand yuan. Furthermore, there was a Rolex watch on his wrist.
This outfit would cost five to six hundred thousand yuan.
Zhang Tian lit a cigarette and took a light puff. Then, he said, “The grand prize this time is really strong. That lucky person is probably coming to exchange for the prize today. We have to prepare in advance.”
When Zhang Jing heard this, she nodded repeatedly. She looked at Zhang Tian coquettishly and said in a spoiled tone, “Brother Tian, when you want to donate, you have to think of my bag too!”
As a welfare lottery center, they had many social welfare projects.
In front of every grand prize winner who came to redeem the award, they had to lobby for them to donate a portion of their money to a welfare organization.
A few hundred thousand, or one to two million yuan was simply nothing to a grand prize winner.
After all, those were all poor people who had suddenly become rich and did not know how to use the money. They were just helping them share their burdens!
Moreover, those grand prize winners were afraid that they would not be able to get this money. They all wanted to spend some money to simplify the procedures. Everyone could work together!
Only a small portion of this money went to social welfare organizations, and most went into their pockets.
Otherwise, how could their monthly salary of a few thousand yuan allow them to live so extravagantly?
She even asked for a branded bag. She didn’t dare to ask for the price even in her dreams, right?
Zhang Tian and Zhang Jing thought greedily. Would asking the winner of 600 million yuan to donate 10 to 20 million yuan be too much?
To others, wasn’t that just a small matter?
However, in their hands…
Hehe, it was another prosperous year!
Zhang Tian had already laughed out loud. It was as if he had already pocketed the dividend of ten million yuan. “Don’t worry. When the time comes, we’ll talk to him properly. If he talks badly, we’ll get the money.”
Zhang Jing looked at him and smiled. The two of them were familiar with these things and had operated this process countless times.
If they got this money, they would definitely go overseas to play.
Luxury goods in foreign countries were all cheap. Many people would be envious when they bought them.
At this moment, the receptionist knocked on the door and said loudly, “Supervisor, I have something to tell you. The winner of the 600 million yuan is here. Do you want to receive him personally?”
When they heard about the 600 million yuan, Zhang Tian and Zhang Jing’s eyes lit up.
Speak of the devil. The winner was really fast!
“Alright, I understand. I’ll be right there!” Zhang Tian clearly shouted to the receptionist outside. He stood up and tidied his clothes before walking out with his secretary.
Zhang Tian followed the receptionist to Ye Xuan and Liu Yanran. When he saw an eight-year-old child and an inexperienced girl coming to exchange for the prize, the corners of his mouth were about to curl up behind his ears.
It was as if G.o.d had answered their prayers. If the winner was a middle-aged man, they would need to encourage him. However, wouldn’t an eight or nine-year-old child and a girl be easy to convince?
What concept of money could such people have?
A child wouldn’t understand even if they asked him to donate 100 million yuan with a few words!
Zhang Tian became excited. He gave Zhang Jing a look and quickly walked to Liu Yanran’s side. He said in a very kind tone, “h.e.l.lo, are you the lucky person who won the big prize this time?”
“It’s not me, it’s my Young Master. However, his sister bought this ticket. I’m here to exchange the prize with him,” said Liu Yanran. Ye Xuan told her to say this just now. After all, Ye Xuan knew that he wasn’t old enough.
“Oh, oh, so it’s you, little guy.”
This time, the two of them were even happier. There was no need to talk about this little brat.
He was very easy to deceive!
However, Ye Xuan hated such hypocritical faces the most. His expression didn’t change as he urged, “That’s right, it’s me. Can we go through the procedures quickly?”
After receiving the money, he still had a lot of things to do.
Zhang Tian hurriedly nodded and said to his secretary, Zhang Jing, who was behind him, “Hurry up and lead the way to the VIP room. Please go over there and settle the procedures to receive the prize money.”
Without another word, Zhang Jing wanted to hold Ye Xuan’s hand, but Ye Xuan simply dodged her.
Meanwhile, Liu Yanran walked over and blocked Ye Xuan. She looked at the secretary and said, “I’m sorry, our Young Master doesn’t like others touching him. Please stay away from our Young Master!”
Liu Yanran looked at Zhang Jing and the heavy make-up on her face. She did not have a good impression of Zhang Jing. Coupled with her smile, she felt that Zhang Jing had a motive, which made her even more unhappy.
However, it was mainly because of Ye Xuan’s att.i.tude towards Zhang Jing. This was the main factor affecting her att.i.tude.
Zhang Jing felt very aggrieved. She was just pretending to be approachable. Was she wrong?
The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. Zhang Jing’s eyes turned red as she looked in the supervisor’s direction and said coquettishly, “Supervisor, take a look. I don’t have any bad intentions. You have to prove it for me!”
However, Zhang Tian only had money in his heart now. How could he be in the mood to deal with Zhang Jing?
He didn’t bother about her and simply walked towards Ye Xuan. Then, he said loudly, “Sir, please follow me to the VIP room to collect the reward.”
Ye Xuan followed behind him into the VIP room.
Zhang Tian took out a doc.u.ment and respectfully handed it to Ye Xuan. Then, he said, “Please fill in the form. Our staff has already gone to verify the lottery. When everything is done, you can receive your prize money.”
Ye Xuan didn’t comment on this. He took the form and stuffed it into Liu Yanran’s hand. He instructed, “You know all of my information. Fill it in.”
It was only 600 million yuan. Wasn’t it too troublesome to fill in a form?
If not for the fact that he had already won, he would not have bothered to come.
However, it was still money. He could not waste it.
Ye Xuan thought to himself. If the people beside him knew about this, they would definitely have a cerebral hemorrhage.
Good lord. By winning 600 million yuan, he had emptied the prize pool. What if he said that he was too lazy to come?
What a show-off!
Meanwhile, Zhang Tian looked at the two people in front of him and felt very disdainful.
A little brat and a woman who was easily blinded by emotions dared to come and receive such a huge award. Who else could he scam if not them?!
Thinking of this, Zhang Tian cleared his throat and said, “The two of you received such a big award, yet you walked in just like that? When I came to work early in the morning, I saw many reporters!”
He thought that the crowd was here to hold a banner to seek justice.
However, as a staff member, he knew very well what a huge prize of 600 million yuan meant.
This was a dream that many people did not dare to dream of!
Meanwhile, Ye Xuan leaned back in his chair and found a comfortable position. “When they saw us like this, they didn’t think that we were here to receive a prize. They ignored us and we just walked in.”
Zhang Tianyi looked enlightened and nodded in agreement. “Indeed, the two of you are so straightforward. It really makes people feel magnanimous. Naturally, they didn’t guess that you would win.”
Ye Xuan closed his eyes and couldn’t even be bothered to reply.
Besides, the other party was just the supervisor of the welfare lottery center. What could he say to him?
Zhang Tian only felt awkward, but for the sake of money, he still had to continue.
He sighed heavily and stole a glance at Ye Xuan’s expression, “Mr. Ye, you’re too lucky! If only I was as lucky as you, I could help more children!”
Zhang Tian didn’t care if Ye Xuan was listening seriously. He continued, “You don’t know, but the children in the mountains around Jinling can’t afford to go to school. They don’t have enough to eat or wear. Even if they are sick, they cannot seek treatment. Looking at their pitiful appearances, to be honest, my heart aches!
“Have you seen a child who eats potatoes three times a day? He should be the same age as you, but he’s a head shorter than you! His nutrition really can’t keep up. How can he grow?!”
As he spoke, Zhang Tian tried his best to squeeze out tears.
