189: Feng Fu won the lottery
"If only I could win an F-code this time." Feng Fu also reposted the Social Media Platform post about #Red Star X Full-Screen Display Concept Phone# and participated in the topic discussion. Before going to bed, he looked at his hongmi 1 and said helplessly.
Last month, he had saved enough money to buy a red star 3, but calculating the days, the Red Star 4th generation was about to be released. As the saying goes, buy new, not old, so he could buy the new model if he waited a bit longer. He decided to continue enduring with his hongmi 1 for the time being.
Feng Fu, who had been unlucky for ten thousand years, felt that winning a Red Star press conference ticket in a forum event was like burning incense for eight lifetimes. He was fortunate enough to attend such a grand and historic press conference.
Although he hadn't bought a Red Star Mobile Phone yet, his level on the Red Star forum had reached LV2. He often chatted with friends on the forum, discussing and speculating about the Red Star 4th generation and roc mobile phone.
Winning that ticket had used up all his luck. It would be quite difficult to win another prize on Social Media Platform.
Even if he won, what then?
Could he really bear to spend 7,000 yuan to buy a mobile phone?
The three thousand yuan in his card was saved from part-time jobs he started last year. Even if he wanted to buy it, it wasn't enough.
"Brother Feng, have you decided where to intern yet?"
Guan Liang, unable to sleep, asked Feng Fu on the bunk above him.
"Not yet, what about you? Have you found a place?"
Guan Liang got out of bed, fanning himself shirtless, and said, "I'm planning to go to Xiaomi."
"Xiaomi?" Feng Fu also sat up in bed. "Didn't you say last time that Xiaomi was 'black for life'?"
"Why choose to intern at Xiaomi?"
Guan Liang smiled and continued, "Phones are phones, work is work, two different things. It's not like if you join Dami Company, you can only use Dami Company's phones. I asked, and Dami Company doesn't require employees to use their own phones; you can use anything."
"Fruit, Samsung, Red Star, Xiaomi are all fine. President Lei said that only by using other companies' phones can we find the shortcomings of our own phones."
Then he sighed again, "I felt carefree last year, but how did it suddenly come to the point of working?"
He recalled arguing online last year with others to defend Xiaomi because of the mi 3 core change, only for the situation to reverse, turning him into a complete hater. He never expected to intern at Dami Company this year.
"People, after all, can't give up their jobs for a small hobby."
After speaking, he gave a self-deprecating laugh.
"Brother Feng, I really envy you for attending such a shocking press conference."
"If you haven't decided where to go yet, you should hurry up."
"Mhm." Feng Fu nodded.
"Actually, the place I want to go most is Red Star."
"I'm very interested in the phone that President Chen mentioned at the press conference a few days ago, the one worn on the wrist. I wonder if I could make it if I joined Red Star?"
"Just like how President Chen suddenly pulled out a Full-Screen Display concept phone, shocking the entire audience." As he spoke, Feng Fu's mind already envisioned the scene a few years later, where he would suddenly pull out this wristband-like phone at a new product launch, shocking the entire audience.
"Then you have to work hard, Brother Feng."
Feng Fu shook his head, "It's not certain if Red Star will even want me; saying these things is a bit too early."
"Go to bed early."
The night passed without a word, until ten o'clock on Saturday morning the next day, there was still no movement in the entire dorm room.
"Holy crap!"
"I won!"
"It was Brother Feng who won!"
Guan Liang, who woke up the earliest, opened Social Media Platform to browse the news and found that the Red Star official Social Media Platform account had announced the list of F-code winners for the topic discussion at ten o'clock.
The ID "Fengfengfengfengfu" was prominently among them.
Guan Liang suddenly threw off Feng Fu's blanket, shaking him awake from his sleep, "Brother Feng, Brother Feng, wake up quickly, you won!"
Drowsy, Feng Fu struggled to open his eyes and looked at the excited Guan Liang, "Won what? Is your girlfriend pregnant?"
"Last year's grandpa."
"Your girlfriend is pregnant."
"I mean you won on Social Media Platform!"
"Won? What prize?" Feng Fu shivered, instantly wide awake.
"An F-code!"
"You won an F-code in the Red Star X Full-Screen Display discussion!"
"Holy crap, really?" Feng Fu fumbled for his phone, and the hongmi 1 slowly opened the Social Media Platform client. He clicked on the winner list announced by the Red Star official Social Media Platform and found his ID.
"I really won..." Looking at his ID, Feng Fu's face was filled with disbelief.
"I say, Brother Feng, what kind of crazy luck have you had recently? You won a press conference ticket in the forum, and out of millions of people on Social Media Platform, you won one of the ten prizes."
"If nothing else, how about we go buy a few Double Color Ball tickets later? Our brothers' future depends on you." Guan Liang said enviously.
What kind of rotten luck is this!
Brother Feng usually never won a 'try again' prize when buying Master Kong Green Tea (back then, Master Kong's winning rate was super high; my record was six consecutive wins). Could this be a rebound from hitting rock bottom?
No, I must make him buy lottery tickets later.
"Won what?"
"What did you win?"
"Old Guan, did you win the Double Color Ball?"
Their exclamations woke up the other dorm mates, who all asked what they had won.
"How could I have that luck? Remember, it was my Brother Feng who won the F-code for the Red Star X!"
"My Brother Feng won again! Envious? Awesome, right?" Guan Liang was now beaming with pride, saying to the other dorm mates as if he had won himself.
"Holy crap! Brother Feng is amazing, you actually won that."
"Old Feng, we'll chip in money later, and you pick the numbers. We must buy a few tickets!"
"Millions of people participated, and Old Feng still won?"
Fearing their brother's hardship, yet also fearing their brother driving a Land Rover, there was a chorus of gnashing teeth in the dorm.
At this moment, Feng Fu was still in a daze, unable to believe he had actually won.
"Brother Feng, don't just stand there. Why do you have so many private messages on your phone? Quickly check if they're from the Red Star official account."
"Oh, right, right, right."
Feng Fu quickly opened his private messages. Unread messages were increasing at several per second, making the hongmi 1 a bit slow to respond.
