Chapter 840: Chapter 840: Hitting the Jackpot (4)
Luckily, the staff finally found the opportunity to squeeze in, first glanced at the lottery ticket in Ruan Jianguo’s hand, then led them through the crowd to a small office set up inside a minibus.
The office was quite spacious, but it became packed the moment their group entered.
As soon as they were in the office, Ruan Jiaojiao and the rest let out a sigh of relief; the jostling crowd had really scared them to death.
This was the first time the lottery station had issued a grand prize. Not to mention the customers outside boiling with excitement, the staff themselves were also thrilled, warmly inviting Ruan Jiaojiao and her group to sit down. They were just about to explain the prize redemption process in detail when they heard a teenage boy next to them say, "I’m in this together."
Together?
What together?
The staff didn’t quite catch on until they looked down at the ticket in the boy’s hand and immediately gasped in shock.
How did another grand prize pop up? When did the grand prize become as common as cabbages?
Not just the staff were dumbfounded, even Ruan Jiaojiao and her party were stunned. Ruan Jianguo couldn’t believe it as he took the ticket from Xiu Xi’s hand to see that it was indeed a grand prize, and for some reason, he suddenly felt like he was about to have a heart attack.
The lottery ticket was clearly purchased by him, so how come in the end he got a "thanks for participating" while this youngster ended up with the grand prize?
It’s really infuriating to be outdone by someone else!
But then he thought about how his own daughter also won the grand prize, and he instantly felt better.
One grand prize was already enough to make a big splash, but now with two, had it not been for their line of work, even the staff would have doubted the authenticity.
Fortunately, the lottery players outside were still unaware, otherwise who knows how boiling over it would become – it was already blocked outside, with even more people continuously making their way here.
Although the lottery results were immediate, the redemption process was a bit troublesome, and there was plenty of time, so there was no rush. Moreover, Ruan Jiaojiao and the rest had an exam tomorrow and couldn’t be delayed. Ruan Jianguo wrote down their address for the staff, and as soon as the crowd outside thinned out a bit, they quickly left, arriving at the meeting place just at four o’clock.
Regarding this heart-stopping experience, all ten of them tacitly chose not to mention it in front of others.
Ruan Jiaojiao followed the school at four o’clock in the afternoon to get familiar with the examination hall, then they dispersed at five o’clock, and she went with the Ruanlin Family to the guesthouse.
The incident of the grand prize had rocked the entire Changling City, and people at the guesthouse were also gossiping about it, but they were unaware that the family who had just checked in and greeted them were the winners of this big prize.
As soon as Ruan Jiaojiao and her father Ruan Jianguo entered their room, they first sat down as usual, then exchanged glances, and started to shrug their shoulders, the corners of their mouths slowly rising until they both finally let out a loud laugh.
Ruan Jianguo, overcome with excitement, even started tossing Ruan Jiaojiao into the air. Being tall and strong, he could throw her effortlessly just as if she was a little chick.
But in the eyes of the Ruanlin Family matriarch, this was an act courting death, and she was furious. If it wasn’t for the lack of a suitable tool in hand, she would have chased him down several streets!
However, when it came to the car that Xiu Xi had won, the Ruanlin Family matriarch suggested, "We can’t let the people in the village know about this vehicle, especially Xiu Jianlin’s family. Otherwise, with Liu Mei’s temperament, who knows what kind of trouble she would stir up."
