Chapter 87 - Excellent character (2/2)
We enter the welfare lottery center and find the reception to explain our intention. His attitude is very professional and cordial, and keeps saying a lot of congratulations and then cast glances at me.
I don’t understand what that meant at the moment. Until later I just know that the receptionist is waiting for me to share the happiness.
Generally speaking, only the big prizes need to come here to take the winnings! The small prizes can be taken directly at the lottery shop. These people who has won the big prizes, when they receive the bonus, will usually come to scatter some money or gifts to share the luckiness.
I come here with empty-hands, as a result, the other party’s enthusiasm immediately falls.
Four of us waited in the reception room for a moment, and two staffs come in from the corridor. One of them is a familiar face!
Seeing that familiar face, I don’t recognize him for the first moment. Then I suddenly remember that last time I bought lottery on the street, when I won the lottery, this person was also responsible for cashing the prize.
When that guy sees me, he is also shocked.
I think it’s normal. It’s estimated that I won dozens of lottery tickets last time. It’s an amazing thing that he has never seen in his life. It’s unprecedented. So, he’s just stunned and recognizes me immediately!
The man, who is in a trance, is almost fainting, then he’s standing against the wall and looking at me for quite a while, then vomiting the words: “… It’s you again?!”
He’s looking at me in awe, just like looking at a God.
They verify my identity, take the lottery tickets to verify the authenticity, and then go through the formalities, while tax officers go through the formalities.
After more than one hour of busy works, everything has been done. Nearly six million are transferred to my bank account, but I don’t show too much excitement on my face.
I know very well that this is only the first step! The very first step!
If everything goes well, then with the lucky ring and the measuring device in my hand, such a harvest will be nothing at all!
At the end, this man can’t help asking me in a low voice: “Excuse me, do you have any secret to win lottery?”
I laugh happily and pat him on the shoulder: “Yes!”
“What is it?” As soon as he says, he looks embarrassed. Indeed, if I really have the secret of how to make a fortune, how can I tell others?
I laugh and say the classic words in his ear.
“Excellent character!”
…
By the time we get out, there’re media reporters already waiting outside. Basically, every time a new lottery winner comes out, several newspapers will send people to crouch here to interview the newest millionaires. But today, when we come in, they heard that we have won three bets at the same time and the total winnings are more than eight million. This news is somewhat unusual.
When I was inside, I have guessed that there might be reporters outside, and the people in the welfare lottery center, when they went through the formalities, might have spread some of my news, such as I once won dozens of lottery tickets in one breath.
Before going out, I deliberately walk behind. When the door is opened, I push Jojo out first.
As soon as she goes out, just sees and hears the camera flashing continuously. She’s almost shaken because of unprepared.
Then there come the surprising dialogs among the reporters:
A: “Is it said a man? Why is a woman coming out?”
B: “Yeah… Haven’t you heard that sex change surgery has developed to this level in our country?”
C: “Damn! You two fools, that’s the big news! Million prizes are won by a transsexualer! Absolutely the headline!”
These words are not only heard by me, but also by Jojo. Looking at her face, she’s wanting to kill people, Azle and I are hurry to carry her and rushing out.
Fortunately, I have been careful not to drive the car to the welfare lottery center’s door, but to stay under the ramp. When we run out, the reporters are still looking for us at the front of the door. But we have rushed to the parking lot below.
But there are still people waiting!
We see a bright scalp, wearing an old monk’s robe with a cloth bag, monk dressed people comes over. He’s wearing glasses, a deep face. His feet are wearing a pair of cloth shoes.
Later I just learn that there are quite some cheaters coming and going around the welfare lottery center. Basically, this is their fixed working place! Because of all the people who come here and go out are lucky winners are also easy to be cheated money. These cheaters can cheat some money by skillful use of some means.
Even if people don’t believe these cheaters’ words, but the winners are generous. If you say some good words, still might get some rewards.
When the monk dressed up guy sees Jojo coming, he also wants to cheat some money. He is shouting to Jojo: “Hello, you must stop here!”
Jojo is still in angry, sees a man is stopping her, just slaping him directly.
With a crack sound, this fellow is turning 360 degrees in place and immediately has five fingerprints on his face. Then Jojo is scolding angrily: “Get away from me!”
