The next few days, Dong Xuebin was even busier.
He was attending classes at the Central Party School, preparing wedding invitations, and eagerly watching every match of the European Cup, not missing a single one.
This night.
Party School dormitory. The Power of Time and Wealth 784
Dong Xuebin finally ushered in the last match of the Football Lottery.
His roommate Han Xinghua was a veteran football fan, and he didn't sleep that night either, watching the live broadcast of the European Cup online with Dong Xuebin, both of them very focused.
"Hey, he's past the defender!"
"Into the penalty area, this ball has a chance!"
"Past another one! Hey! Goal! Goal!"
"Good shot! That's a world-class goal! Beautiful!"
"Should he retire? This running speed is rare!"
"Two to zero, this match is a huge upset, who would have thought an old underdog team would play so well?"
A dozen minutes later, the match finally ended with a score of two to one, another upset.
After turning off the computer, Han Xinghua and Dong Xuebin went to their own beds and got into their blankets. Han Xinghua quickly fell asleep, but Dong Xuebin couldn't sleep for a long time, because the dozens of Football Lottery tickets he bought a few days ago had all won. Not to mention winning or losing, even the scores of each match were exactly the same as the future football newspaper. Dong Xuebin was now one hundred percent sure he had won the jackpot, but he didn't know the exact amount of the prize money. These upsets that kept coming out, shouldn't be too bad, anyway, he definitely had the money for the wedding.
Excited.
Dong Xuebin really couldn't sleep, so he simply got up again and went online to reconfirm the Football Lottery tickets he had bought, 3, 1, 1, 0, 0, 3, 3, 1, 1...
All won!
No mistake!
The next day.
Dong Xuebin got up early from bed and checked the prize redemption.
It hadn't been calculated last night, but it should be almost done today.
Dong Xuebin checked and found out that, as he had expected, there were too many upsets in this issue of the Football Lottery, and only a few people won the jackpot, and they were all multiple bets in one ticket, which couldn't be compared with Dong Xuebin's thirty tickets at all. He checked the prize money again, a full 120 million! The Power of Time and Wealth 784
After taxes, he could get almost exactly one hundred million!
Dong Xuebin couldn't close his mouth with joy, he finally had money again! Not easy!
Dong Xuebin immediately asked for leave from his class, then went out to redeem the prize, and called Xie Huilan to tell her the great news.
"Hello, Huilan, we won!"
"Huh? Won what?"
"What are you talking about, the Football Lottery."
"...Really? What prize did you win?"
"Of course, it's the first prize. I bet thirty shares on that number, and the total prize money will be one hundred million!"
"Hehe, really? Are you teasing your Sister Xie?"
"Oh my, when have I ever lied to you? I really won. I'm going to claim the prize now, and you'll know when the time comes. Haha, this time we don't have to worry about the money for our wedding."
"If we really have one hundred million, we won't have to worry about anything for the rest of our lives."
"That's right, our family is rich again this time. Sigh, when I think about the past few days, I feel emotional. I couldn't even bear to buy a pack of cigarettes that cost more than ten yuan, but now everything is solved." Dong Xuebin loved to take credit when he was happy, "How is it? Your husband is not bad, right?"
"Not bad, worthy of praise, hehe."
"By the way, let's not busy ourselves with the wedding today. Let's put everything on hold. Tonight, let's take some time to go to the 4S store and take a look."
"What? Are you going to buy a car?"
Dong Xuebin sighed, "I've always wanted to buy one. Didn't the Cayenne break down? I sold it. Now I have to take a taxi everywhere, which is too inconvenient, so I have to get one no matter what. You can help me with some ideas tonight and see if I should buy a Mercedes or a BMW."
"Can't you just buy an ordinary car?"
"I'm just used to driving good cars, so let's go with a good car. Anyway, the money was earned by our family in a legitimate way, so we don't have to worry about people gossiping or investigating. It's my money, so what can't I buy? Let them say what they want. Haven't I been living like this for the past two years? Mercedes, Cayenne, what haven't I bought? I still drive them, and aren't I still doing well? We are upright and not afraid of shadows!"
"Anyway, it's your own car, so you can buy whatever you want. Your Sister Xie doesn't care."
"But you have to come with me. It's settled then. I'll go claim the prize first, and I'll see you tonight."
"Xiao Ran and the others said they wanted to discuss some work matters with me. I don't know when I'll be able to get out. You go first, and if it doesn't work out, I'll take Xiao Ran and Xiao Jing with me?"
"Sure, come on over." Dong Xuebin suddenly paused, "Do your younger siblings have cars?" The Power of Time and Wealth 784
Xie Huilan smiled and said, "What are you doing?"
"I'm just asking, do they?"
"Xiao Ran doesn't have a car. She's in the Youth League Committee, and it's not convenient to use the unit's car. She takes the subway to work every day. Xiao Jing's Xinhua News Agency has a public car, but sometimes it's not convenient to drive, and she can't drive it home on Saturdays and Sundays."
"So none of them have cars. Okay, I got it."
"Are you going to buy cars for my younger siblings?"
Dong Xuebin nodded, reached out and hailed a taxi on the side of the road, got in, and then said, "We've been together for almost two years, and the wedding is just around the corner. We're about to get our marriage certificate. You see, as your brother-in-law, I haven't bought anything for your younger siblings, which is really inappropriate."
"There's no need. Our family doesn't have so many rules."
"It's not a matter of whether your family has rules or not. I have to do my part. You also know that I'm only twenty-five years old, and I'm even younger than your younger siblings. If they call me brother-in-law in the future, you can't let me blush, right? I have to look like a brother-in-law, and buying a car isn't expensive. It's mainly just a token of my appreciation."
"Okay, I agree with this matter."
"You mean that too?"
"Actually, Xiao Ran and Xiao Jing's parents also plan to buy them cars. Of course, there are many officials in my family, but no businessmen. Although the conditions are good, we can afford a few cars, but we can't buy them too good. If you pay for it, it will also be a way for you to give your Sister Xie some face. Why would I disagree?"
"It's good that we agree, so that's it?"
"Okay."
"Oh, I just remembered, you don't have a car either!"
"Hehe, it's enough for me to drive the unit's official car. With my rank here, using the official car doesn't require as much caution as Xiao Jing and the others."
"That won't do. Perfect timing, we'll buy one for you tonight too. Porsche or BMW, take your pick. Anyway, our family has enough money, we don't lack this little bit."
"No need, it's too conspicuous."
"Still have to buy it, even if you don't drive it after buying it, it's fine. It's comfortable just leaving it at home to look at."
"Let's talk about it tonight."
"Okay, don't tell Xiao Jing and the others yet, we'll give them a surprise then."
