2: Chapter 2: Preparing to Empty the Prize Pool?

"I want to... take out a loan of one million!"

"Pfft!"

Deputy General Manager Jiang almost spat out a mouthful of water.

Why the hell are you coming to me for a loan?

Go to a bank!

"I can't help you with a loan. Although I have acquaintances at the bank, banks have their own regulations, and your requested amount is too large."

"Is that so..."

Chen Feng felt a bit disappointed.

He didn't mention the assessment content anymore and turned to leave.

"..."

Even though Deputy General Manager Jiang was a deputy general manager, he felt extremely irritable right now.

Leaving him hanging like this!

It was insufferable!

He took a deep breath and said, feigning calmness: "Don't leave yet. First, tell me, what do you need so much money for?"

"Over in the suburbs on Pingyang Road, I've set my eyes on a piece of land. I figured if I can't find a job after graduation, I could buy it to farm and raise chickens."

Listening to Chen Feng's straight-faced nonsense.

Deputy General Manager Jiang was cursing internally.

I don't believe a word of it!

However.

His shock was beyond measure.

As a deputy general manager, he often interacted with influential people in Beihu, and he had heard in the past few days that the city center was going to expand toward the suburbs.

Although this plan hadn't been brought to the table yet, and it was unknown if it would extend as far as Pingyang Road.

But if it were true.

The land in that area would have room for appreciation in the near future.

"This kid..."

Deputy General Manager Jiang felt more and more that the other party had his eye on the land there.

If he had been skeptical about the assessment content before, he was now increasingly believing what Chen Feng said.

This kid is not simple!

"I can lend you 1 million, interest-free for three years."

Deputy General Manager Jiang gave him a meaningful look and continued: "I have only one requirement. Regardless of whether you use this money to buy land or do something else, you must mortgage it to me.

I cannot bear the risk for you.

If you can't pay back the money after three years, that land will be mine!"

"No problem!"

Chen Feng was instantly relieved.

He and Deputy General Manager Jiang were not related or close, so it was already very surprising that the other party could help to this extent.

Hopefully, these future video messages are real!

Otherwise, I'm done for!

"Deputy General Manager Jiang, let's continue talking about the assessment content..."

Next, he stated all the remaining key points.

Deputy General Manager Jiang listened while taking notes in a memo, looking exactly like an obedient subordinate.

After all, these were exam questions!

This scene.

Surprised the employees and subordinates passing by.

Deputy General Manager Jiang was usually a very serious person and was high and mighty in the eyes of all his colleagues.

When did he become so easygoing?

What surprised them even more was.

What was the relationship between this young man and the deputy general manager?

Five minutes later.

Deputy General Manager Jiang nodded with satisfaction.

Now he completely believed that this assessment plan was specifically designed to select the next general manager.

He spent ten minutes signing the agreement and transferred 1 million to Chen Feng.

Next.

Chen Feng quickly rushed to Pingyang Road in the suburbs and found the person in charge to buy Plot No. 1.

1 million, full payment!

Then he mortgaged the land certificate to Deputy General Manager Jiang.

Everything was so smooth.

Time passed bit by bit.

... Three years passed in the blink of an eye.

The information in those videos from three years ago would appear one by one in reality.

Today.

Chen Feng came to a lottery shop.

He took out thirty yuan and said to the owner: "Boss, I want to buy the double color ball. Red ball numbers 02, 05, 13, 17, 23, 28, blue ball number 07. One bet—no wait, make it 15 bets!"

He was truly too excited.

There was no helping it.

The 20231st issue of the lottery would be drawn after nine o'clock this evening.

Over these three years, ever since he bought that land, his phone had never popped up any new video messages.

It was possible that because he had participated in the video, no new video messages would pop up until the video content was completed.

His first pot of gold in life.

Depended on this lottery draw!

"According to the video messages from three years ago, the total prize pool for the 20231st issue of the double color ball is 1.3 billion.

The maximum single first-prize bonus is 6 million, and there will be a total of 15 winning bets. Should I buy a few hundred bets and earn a billion?"

Holy crap!

Over a billion, just thinking about it makes one excited!

However.

Chen Feng still shook his head.

He didn't dare to take the risk!

What if the numbers changed by then? Wouldn't that be a huge loss?

At this moment, the owner took a look at Chen Feng and couldn't help but smile.

There were many people who bought a dozen times on a single set of numbers like this, but they usually didn't win.

Did he really think he could predict the future?

He couldn't help but remind him: "Young man, the odds of this set of numbers winning are very low. Why not buy a few other sets? The odds will be better."

"No need."

Chen Feng chuckled.

I have a cheat code, what is there to be afraid of!

After buying the double color ball, he quickly returned to school.

Beihu University was a second-tier university, ranking relatively high among second-tier universities, and its faculty strength was quite strong.

The school had another characteristic: there were many beautiful women.

Chen Feng was now a senior.

Generally, internships only started in the second semester.

But for those who could find jobs, they had already gone for internships at the start of the semester.

In the dormitory, the three roommates hadn't returned yet.

Chen Feng sat on the bed, opened his computer, and waited until 9:15.

His heart was pounding wildly.

Over these three years, he had basically concluded that the videos popping up on his phone were real.

For example, the city center had gradually been expanding toward the suburbs, and the value of Plot No. 1 had also gradually risen.

Also, for example, the promotion of the general manager of Tianbao Group had basically been confirmed, and the inspection team was also secretly evaluating the performance of several deputy general managers.

But none of this was as exciting as the lottery draw.

"Hello everyone, next is the draw for the 20231st issue of the double color ball..."

It's here, it's here!

Regardless of the draw's script or the host, it was exactly the same as that video.

"The first red ball for this issue is number 02..."

Correct!

"The second red ball for this issue is number 05..."

Correct again!

"The third red ball for this issue is number 13..."

Correct!

At this moment, Chen Feng didn't even dare to breathe, staring fixedly at the computer screen.

His heart had jumped into his throat!

This was his first time buying a lottery ticket.

And it was his first time watching the draw!

"The fourth red ball for this issue is number 17..."

Correct!

"The fifth red ball for this issue is number 23..."

Correct!

He was even more nervous!

Even though he knew the numbers he bought would win, he still couldn't control his emotions.

The more it was like this, the more nervous he felt!

"The sixth red ball for this issue is number 28..."

Holy crap! Holy crap!

It really was correct!

Even if the last blue ball was wrong, he would still have a few million.

Chen Feng could finally experience the feeling of getting rich overnight.

"We have just completed the draw for the red balls, next we will continue to draw the blue ball for this issue..."

Hearing the host rambling on, Chen Feng wished he could spout some profanities.

Stop the nonsense.

Draw it!

"The blue ball for this issue is number 07!"

Holy crap!

Chen Feng looked at the lottery ticket in his hand, and then looked at the screen on the computer.
