Chapter 222: Chapter 142: 【Divine Fortune Halo】_3
Zhou Wang clicked his tongue in amazement, then waved his hand, “Forget it, I don’t like feeling like I owe someone. No matter how others are, I’ll still recharge, and transfer it to you later. Bye!”
Chen Shu didn’t say anything more, he escorted Zhou Wang out of Cloud Residence, and after saying goodbye at the door, as soon as Chen Shu turned around, he received a message from Zhou Wang.
“Please receive funds: ¥100,000.00.”
Chen Shu was taken aback, bit her red lips, and then typed out a message, “You can come anytime, even if you don’t want to eat, Sis will make tea for you~”
Then, Chen Shu accepted the transfer.
…
On the other side, after Zhou Wang replied with an “Okay,” he also responded to Xu Wenqian’s message, asking her to pick him up in an hour. He looked around, opened the map for a search, and walked in a certain direction.
…
Over forty minutes later, inside a lottery shop on Huannan Road, Ming City.
The lottery shop owner, sporting a tuft of beard, double-checked the pile of scratch-offs with a calculator before looking up and smiling, “That’s right, I still owe you a total of 7,220.”
The two old fellows next to him, who had been studying sports lottery, clicked their tongues in wonder and looked over.
Winning 500 or 1,000 from scratch-offs isn’t unusual, it pops up occasionally, but getting over seven thousand from ten stacks is quite rare.
However, Zhou Wang didn’t seem particularly happy, just pondered without speaking.
The effect of this “Divine Fortune Halo” didn’t seem as strong as imagined. Otherwise, Zhou Wang had almost scratched off every ticket in the store; he should have won the grand prize by now.
But after one round, the largest prize won was five thousand…
Though from the shop owner’s reaction, this was already quite remarkable.
Still, considering “good luck” was only one effect of the [Divine Fortune Halo], it couldn’t be deemed that the halo’s effect was unmatched with the rarity of “Golden Magic Ball.”
“Handsome, do you want me to transfer via WeChat or…?”
The lottery shop owner’s voice snapped Zhou Wang out of his contemplation.
Hearing this, he waved, “No need to transfer, just give me some more lottery tickets… Uh, go with the super lottery.”
The lottery shop owner was initially puzzled, but after confirming Zhou Wang’s request, he was somewhat surprised.
“You mean, quick pick with additional bets, using the whole seven thousand?”
“Yes.”
Although surprised, the shop owner didn’t try to persuade him. After all, he had seen all sorts of things…
Like the two old fellows betting on sports lottery beside him, when they went crazy, they’d buy thousands per match.
With the five sets of numbers quick-picked, after Zhou Wang confirmed them, the lottery shop owner printed them out with “99 times” per ticket. Seven thousand sounds like a lot, but with Zhou Wang’s “crazy” way of betting, it actually came down to just five lonely tickets in hand.
The sports lottery guys next to him couldn’t help but advise, “Young man, betting like that, you’d be better off buying football tickets. The odds of winning the super lottery are way too low…”
“No problem, it’s found money, just buying some fun.”
Holding a mindset of experimenting, Zhou Wang paid no mind to this, grinned, gave a light reply, and left the lottery shop amidst the two old guys’ comments of “young people are so carefree.”
At the roadside, a Volvo S90 with its hazard lights on was already waiting.
Even though Zhou Wang said to pick him up in an hour, with Xu Wenqian’s meticulous and cautious style, she naturally wouldn’t arrive exactly on time. She had already arrived five minutes earlier.
Zhou Wang got into the passenger seat, examined his pretty assistant once over, then playfully pinched her cheek, and only when Xu Wenqian showed an embarrassed look did Zhou Wang, satisfied by his mischievousness, laugh heartily and casually tossed the five lottery tickets he held over.
“The draw should be tomorrow night, Qianqian, just keep an eye on it for me.”
“Got it, boss.”
Although Xu Wenqian was a bit surprised that Zhou Wang, with so much money, would still buy lottery tickets, she didn’t show any sign of it, she seriously tucked the tickets away in her bag.
“Let’s go, where was the meeting again?”
Even though, with both Xu Wenqian and Jiang Qingkui, Zhou Wang didn’t have to worry about most things, there were always some matters that needed his personal attention.
Like, for example, a driver’s interview.
The old Yan from Wanda Hotel had ultimately declined Zhou Wang’s invitation, and after Xu Wenqian enlisted the help of a well-known headhunting company, they managed to recommend three advanced talents after a week’s effort.
Don’t ask why even drivers have an “advanced” term, that’s just the standard of the headhunting company.
Now Zhou Wang and Xu Wenqian were going to meet the first candidate, who was also the headhunting company’s most recommended all-rounder talent…
The interview venue was arranged by the headhunting company, and it was said that this driver candidate had only arrived in Ming City yesterday, and regardless of the interview outcome, travel and accommodation expenses were to be borne by the recruiter, in this case, Zhou Wang.
Actually, Zhou Wang hadn’t expected Xu Wenqian to go to such great lengths, even contacting famous headhunting companies from Peng City, but in any case, the stronger the recruited talent, the better for Zhou Wang, so he maintained a supportive stance…
“It’ll be at a café up ahead, it’s quite close from here…”
While starting the car, Xu Wenqian briefly explained the situation to him,
“Originally, it didn’t need to take this long, considering we don’t have any special requirements, but it’s not easy finding a young female driver who’s dedicated and qualified, so the headhunting company had to go through some trouble, and maybe the service fee will be quite high…”
“Hold on!”
A bit dazed, Zhou Wang interrupted Xu Wenqian, “Young… female driver?”
“Yeah, boss, wasn’t that your specific request?”
Xu Wenqian blinked innocently.
“…When did I make such a request, I clearly said ‘gender doesn’t matter.'”
Zhou Wang’s face darkened.
“But boss, you mentioned once, you said that if the driver was male, sometimes it felt inconvenient in the car…”
Xu Wenqian, with a blushed face, said, “I don’t know what you meant by ‘inconvenient,’ but weren’t you implying for me to hire a female driver?”
“…”
Zhou Wang was speechless, he wanted to say that it was just a joke during a casual chat, but, he couldn’t deny, there was a tiny bit of seriousness in the joke…
At this moment, even though Xu Wenqian showed no unusual expression, Zhou Wang felt she was trying to hold back a laugh, and a bit annoyed out of embarrassment, Zhou Wang couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.
“Qianqian, are you sure you don’t know what I meant by ‘inconvenient’?”
“Ah, boss, I’m driving, no… uh, there, no way!”
