The lottery shop owner was still too excited to calm down.
The old man with the palm fan almost had his dentures fall out, holding them in place while craning his neck, eagerly waiting.
It was almost eleven o’clock, the mall was about to close, and yet the grand prize winner still hadn’t shown up!
The lottery shop owner said in disappointment, “Alright, alright, go home! That young lady definitely won’t come tonight.”
Winning such a huge prize—she would surely need to call up a bunch of friends as bodyguards. Otherwise, how could she dare come to claim so much money?
The shops near the lottery store, unusually, hadn’t closed yet. They just wanted to catch a glimpse of the winner’s face.
But after waiting for so long without seeing anyone, they all finally closed and went home.
When Su Weiwei reached the first floor, the mall was already empty of customers. At that moment, she happened to see Section Chief Mu and Lu Yushi coming downstairs.
Mu Junze had walked over instead of driving, so Lu Yushi was giving him a lift to the entrance, still saying: “Section Chief Mu, think it over first. I hope we can reach an agreement tomorrow.”
Su Weiwei stopped in her tracks, standing off to the side.
She was a little surprised—hadn’t Mu Junze rejected her?
How come he hadn’t agreed to Lu Yushi either…
Su Weiwei’s spirits suddenly lifted. Maybe she still had a chance!
In a few days, the bidding would require a ten-billion deposit. No matter what, she had to gather the ten billion first and wait for her chance!
She watched as Mu Junze politely exchanged a couple more words before leaving directly.
Now, only groups of employees heading home in threes and fives remained in the mall.
Xiao Chun, who loved gossip, had already found out all the details. Excitedly, he said: “President Lu, tonight’s Double Color Ball lottery is out—someone cleaned out the jackpot, ten billion!”
Lu Yushi’s expression was blank, without the slightest ripple in his heart.
Ten billion, to him, was no different from ten yuan.
But Xiao Chun continued, “I heard it was a woman who just got divorced. To celebrate, she angrily spent ten thousand on tickets, and she actually won!”
Lu Yushi’s eyes narrowed slightly.
A woman who just got divorced?
Who angrily spent ten thousand to celebrate by buying lottery tickets?
For some reason, Lu Yushi suddenly thought of that woman—Su Weiwei!
But how could it be possible?
Lu Yushi cut off the thought, his face frosty as he looked at Xiao Chun. “You certainly know a lot. Do you want me to send you to work at an entertainment company?”
The smile on Xiao Chun’s face instantly froze…
Only after Lu Yushi had left did Su Weiwei finally go to claim her ten-billion prize!
The lottery shop owner was just about to close when he saw Su Weiwei coming alone. He thought his eyes were playing tricks on him.
“Young lady, you came here all by yourself?”
She wasn’t nervous at all—he was the one nervous for her!
Su Weiwei gave a quiet “Mm,” picked up the prize claim form that had already been prepared at his side, and quickly filled it out.
The lottery shop owner instinctively processed the information, verified, confirmed, and handled the payout procedures…
“Tomorrow, after the technical and financial supervisors finish checking, the money will be in your account by the morning…”
Su Weiwei answered with another “Mm,” stood up, and was about to leave.
The lottery shop owner was dumbfounded. That was way too fast! Nothing like what he had imagined!
It should have been a big crowd surrounding Su Weiwei, flashing cameras, the whole city in an uproar. At the very least, she should’ve shown up in some cartoon costume—or if not that, at least wearing a hat and mask.
But instead, she came in the last five minutes before closing, empty-handed, to claim her prize…
Su Weiwei held her bank card in her hand.
This period’s prize pool was twelve billion, and after taxes, she still had nearly ten billion…
She had already calculated: adding what she already had in her account, her net assets were nine billion nine hundred and forty-five million.
She was still five hundred and fifty million short—just a little bit away from a full ten billion…
Holding her card, Su Weiwei sighed under her breath, “So poor…”
The lottery shop owner: “…”
Is this what they call showing off?
Su Weiwei walked out of the store with her card, pondering how to quickly earn five hundred and fifty million in one night.
For her now, earning five million wasn’t difficult. The hard part was earning five million overnight.
Lu Yushi happened to be standing by the roadside, waiting for Xiao Chun to fetch the car from the underground garage at Yujing Garden.
As Su Weiwei passed by, she spotted him and raised her brows!
Wasn’t that five million right there?
Without hesitation, Su Weiwei strode straight toward Lu Yushi.
