The chosen one turned out to be me!
"System, System, Chi Qing calling System."
"...If you have a question, beneficiary, just ask. There is no need to call."
Chi Qing felt as though the system had rolled its eyes.
"This is my first time binding to a system, so I'm still getting used to it. Next time, next time I'll know what I'm doing."
Chi Qing replied shamelessly in her mind.
"System, may I ask how your system works?"
"Why did you choose me? With so much money, won't the banks and the government detect it later?"
"If they detect it, won't I be taken away and dissected for research?"
After listening to Chi Qing's barrage of questions, the system paused before replying, "The Lottery System, as its name suggests, selects a beneficiary at random. As for how the beneficiary comes to receive such an opportunity, that is a matter of the beneficiary's own fortune."
"The system exists in another dimension, so it cannot be detected by the dimension in which the beneficiary resides."
"The beneficiary is protected by the system and will not attract the notice of the current dimension either. You may understand it as something similar to what your dimension calls a concealment illusion."
"Furthermore."
The system paused, seemingly at the end of its patience. "The odds of the beneficiary receiving this opportunity were already one in several billion. In principle, only one person per dimension may receive it."
Listening to the system's response in her mind, Chi Qing almost saw it give another enormous eye roll.
Next time, next time-just getting this one chance was already an unparalleled stroke of fortune!
You still want a next time? Do you think systems are as common and easy to come by as they are on webnovel sites?!!
"Does the beneficiary have any further questions? If not, you will no longer be able to contact the system of your own accord. You must wait until the next prize payment arrives and the system contacts you."
The voice sounded in Chi Qing's mind again.
At that moment, Chi Qing was immersed in boundless delight, her mind a little dazed, and she had nothing much to ask.
All she wanted now was to figure out how to spend money! Spend money!! As a Leo woman, spending money was her greatest love!!
Thinking about spending money, Chi Qing sat at her desk and began deciding on her future direction.
Hmm, I can't tell anyone about the system. First, I need to keep as low a profile as possible and get rich quietly.
Then I need to gradually get involved in some investments, so there's a basis for my wealth and a gradual process of getting rich.
But I still need to keep a low profile. Yes, definitely keep a low profile.
The more Chi Qing thought about it, the happier she felt.
Unable to help herself, Chi Qing burst out laughing, drawing curious looks from Liu Ping and Li Yan, who shared her office.
Chi Qing worked in real estate, having stumbled into the industry through campus recruitment upon graduation.
She had worked in it for nearly ten years and traveled all over the country, but ultimately returned to her hometown, Cloud City, because she was an only child.
She currently worked as a planning supervisor at one of the country's top ten real estate companies.
Everyone knew how glorious the industry had once been, with many people in the business, especially those in marketing and sales, getting rich overnight.
But at work, Chi Qing was a typical workhorse.
She had both emotional intelligence and brains, got along well with others, and was quite capable at her job.
But she simply had no instinct for pursuing promotions.
She disliked business socializing and climbing the ladder, and she lacked a little ambition.
Although she was called a supervisor, she had actually remained on the front lines, doing planning and execution work all along.
The project Chi Qing worked on was a luxury resort residential development, a massive development covering several thousand mu, so the planning department was staffed entirely by seasoned professionals with extensive experience.
Liu Ping was in charge, planning supervisor Li Yan handled events, and Chi Qing handled promotion and publicity.
There were three of them in total, and the other two were both a few years older than Chi Qing.
Sister Ping was much like Chi Qing: both had grown up in the countryside, came from families of modest means, and relied on their own hard work to get ahead.
Brother Li, on the other hand, had gotten in through connections. His father's elder brother was a senior executive at one of the project's partner companies.
