13: Are you a trustee?
"Handsome guy, aiming for so long, are you picking out a wife?"
A guy with yellow hair behind Ye Su saw that Ye Su hadn't fired after aiming for over ten seconds, and immediately made an impatient remark.
Ye Su had been about to pull the trigger, but because of this interruption, he almost knocked the air gun off-balance.
"Sorry, I'll be done in a second."
There was no need to get into a conflict with a stranger, and since he had indeed been dawdling a bit, Ye Su could only turn his head and apologize to the yellow-haired guy.
"Fine." Seeing that Ye Su had a good attitude, the yellow-haired guy felt embarrassed to keep complaining.
"Whew—"
After gripping the air gun properly again, Ye Su let out a breath, ensured he was aiming at the balloon, and pulled the trigger.
Pop!
The balloon burst in response, but Ye Su was stunned.
Because the one that burst was the balloon to the left of the first prize.
Damn it, the trajectory of this gun is off to the left!
Ye Su was certain that he had definitely aimed at the first prize balloon, but he ended up hitting the one next to it. He could only conclude that for this kind of toy gun, poor accuracy was normal.
Fortunately, he had been smart enough earlier to buy over a hundred yuan worth of items, otherwise, it would be ridiculous now.
Secretly rejoicing in his heart, Ye Su adjusted his aim slightly to the right when targeting the balloon again.
Pop!
Fortunately, the air gun didn't have a random trajectory. This time, Ye Su accurately hit the first prize balloon, and the system's indicator light extinguished as the balloon burst.
After the two shots were finished, the employee went over, picked up the slip of paper from the ground, and opened it in front of Ye Su.
"Consolation prize." To show fairness, the employee placed the slip of paper on the table.
The yellow-haired guy behind saw this and scoffed inwardly.
He aimed for ages, and still only hit a pack of tissues. Since he likes shooting so much, winning a pack of tissues is perfect—let him go back and shoot to his heart's content.
"First prize!"
The yellow-haired guy was still inwardly mocking Ye Su when a single sentence from the supermarket employee instantly pulled him back to reality.
"No way, there really is a first prize!"
The onlookers who had just been questioning the authenticity of this event didn't expect the slap in the face to come so quickly.
They had just been running their mouths about the supermarket's event being fake, and in the blink of an eye, the supermarket revealed a first prize right in front of them, which made a few of them feel quite awkward.
"So, did I just win an electric scooter?" Ye Su's eyes lit up as he tried hard to put on a look of surprise.
"Yes, I'll contact the manager now and have him take you to the store over there to pick up the vehicle."
As the supermarket employee said this, there was a hint of envy on her face.
She was also planning to buy an electric scooter for her daily commute so she wouldn't have to fight a crowd of people for the bus every day.
But after deducting rent and living expenses, she had to save for two months to be able to afford this electric scooter, which is why she had been hesitating and hadn't bought it yet.
Now, someone had effortlessly won the electric scooter she had been dreaming of while she was on duty.
Sigh, people really do have different fates!
Envy aside, the employee didn't slow down. She called another colleague over to help so the lucky draw could continue, then took out her phone to call the manager on WeChat.
Ye Su also took the opportunity to pick up the first prize slip and take a photo of it along with the lucky draw poster behind it.
"You must be a shill hired by the supermarket!"
Just then, an abrupt and noisy voice rang out, instantly dampening Ye Su's good mood by thirty percent.
Even with Ye Su's good temper, seeing the yellow-haired guy on the side looking for trouble for no reason, he couldn't help but look a bit displeased:
"What is wrong with you? I just came to buy some things and happened to win an electric scooter, so how does that make me a shill for the supermarket? Can't I just win a prize?"
"Give me a break. If you didn't know where the first prize was, would you have aimed for so long? You didn't even bother to make your act convincing!"
The yellow-haired guy was feeling very angry now, believing that Ye Su had snatched away his electric scooter.
If Ye Su hadn't squeezed in front of him, maybe he would have been the one to hit that first prize balloon!
"Yeah, I remember these balloons were all just hung up. Then this Handsome guy comes along and hits the first prize immediately. This really looks like it's staged."
Hearing this, the looks from the people around toward Ye Su and the supermarket employee began to turn suspicious.
It had to be said, it did sound a bit coincidental.
Hearing someone agree with him, the yellow-haired guy looked a bit smug.
If he stirred things up a bit more, maybe the supermarket would hang up another first prize, allowing him to win an electric scooter too.
"You're so good at making things up, you must be a basket weaver."
Ye Su had no intention of indulging this yellow-haired guy at all.
I knew where the first prize was, so what? Bite me?
"What did you say?"
Being retorted by Ye Su, the yellow-haired guy's expression immediately turned ugly, and he glared at Ye Su.
Ye Su didn't back down in the slightest and glared right back: "So what if I said that? You're accusing me of being a shill for the supermarket without any proof, and I'm asking you what you're talking about too."
Being 1.8 meters tall, combined with Ye Su raising his voice, instantly caused the yellow-haired guy's momentum to weaken.
This kind of person is just like that.
When you speak to him politely, he gets inflated, thinking you're easy to bully, but when you actually get angry, he starts to chicken out.
Seeing this sudden situation occur, the supermarket employee immediately spoke up to explain:
"Sir, we guarantee that this event is absolutely not rigged. If you don't believe us, wait until our manager comes over, and you can go with us to the store to see if we really did buy an electric scooter!"
"Ye Su, what's up?"
At this moment, Lin Jingjie, who was carrying a bag of items, heard the commotion and squeezed in.
Seeing that another helper had arrived on Ye Su's side, the yellow-haired guy instantly went silent and didn't dare to snap back.
Ye Su didn't want to cause trouble either, so he waved his hand at Lin Jingjie, "It's nothing, dude just won an electric scooter."
Among the four in their dorm, Lin Jingjie had the biggest temper, and he would truly step up if a buddy had a problem.
The yellow-haired guy looked like he had already backed down, and Ye Su didn't want Lin Jingjie to provoke him further, lest they really get into a conflict.
"Holy crap, for real!" Hearing that Ye Su had won an electric scooter in the short time they were apart, Lin Jingjie's first reaction was disbelief.
Ye Su waved the slip of paper in front of him: "Would I lie to you, dude?"
After seeing the first prize clearly on the slip, Lin Jingjie finally accepted the fact that Ye Su had gotten incredibly lucky, and pulled out his phone, preparing to expose Ye Su in the dorm group chat.
Listening to the supermarket employee's explanation just now, combined with the conversation between Ye Su and Lin Jingjie, the onlookers finally completely believed that Ye Su was purely lucky and not some supermarket shill.
With his unreasonable behavior exposed, the yellow-haired guy on the side felt his face burning.
"Sir, hello, our manager is coming down now. Could you please step over here so other customers can continue the lucky draw?"
"Okay."
Lin Jingjie still had to wait in line for the lucky draw, so Ye Su, guided by the employee, went to wait on the side by himself.
The yellow-haired guy, having just caused trouble, felt embarrassed now. After immediately drawing his prize, he hurriedly left the square.
Unsurprisingly, when Lin Jingjie sent the news of Ye Su's win to the group chat, the other two instantly went wild in the group.
[Second Handsome Guy: Holy crap! This guy's luck is off the charts!]
[Fourth Handsome Guy: I have lived my whole life upright and honorable, why haven't I encountered such a good thing!]
[Fourth Handsome Guy: The world is so unfair, I shall summon thunder with my blood!]
In response, Ye Su calmly sent two emojis of people wearing little steel helmets.
