Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
Eastern Sea City was a metropolis. It was very prosperous, with high-rise buildings, shopping malls, an airport, hotels, casinos, mobile phone stores, and clothing stores everywhere.
Lots of places sold phones: mobile phone stores, supermarkets, shopping malls, electrical appliances wholesale centers and so on.
Qingfeng Li wanted to buy a good phone for Xue Lin. His first choice would be a dedicated mobile phone store. The quality was guaranteed there and customer service was ideal.
There were quite a lot mobile phone brands now. Overseas brands like Apple, and Samsung and domestic brands like Huawei, Xiaomi, Oppo, MEIZU etc.
Qingfeng Li planned to buy Xue Lin a Huawei Mate 9. This was one of the best mobile phones now. Of course, it was also the most classic mobile phone, with Leica dual cameras that could take sharp images.
Half an hour later.
Qingfeng Li and Xue Lin came to the Tian-Hua City Square. The Huawei mobile phone store was there. Of course, in addition to Huawei mobile phone stores, there were many other mobile phone stores, such as Oppo mobile phone stores and vivo mobile phone stores.
In addition to the mobile phone stores in Tian-Hua City Square, there were lots of clothing stores, jewelry stores and entertainment venues around. For example, slot machines, welfare lottery, sports lottery, lottery scratcher tickets and so on.
Located in the city center, it was one of the most prosperous areas of Eastern Sea City with a huge number of people. Looking around everywhere was jammed pack with a bustling crowd.
Going past a lottery scratcher ticket store, Xue Lin’s eyes brightened and stopped, remembering things in the past.
When she was kicked out from his father’s house and lived on the streets, she didn’t have anything to eat or drink, only 2 Yuan.
At that time, she bought a scratcher ticket with the 2 Yuan, and won 100 RMB. With the money, she didn’t go hungry.
As for the scratcher ticket, Xue Lin had deep feelings. When she was free, she would always come and play in the store. But now as a CEO, she had been busy and didn’t have the time to play.
Seeing the scratcher ticket store today, Xue Lin thought of things before and naturally, she wanted to play.
“Let’s go and play the scratcher tickets a bit.” Xue Lin smiled coldly and said to Qingfeng Li.
Play the scratcher tickets? This was for kids. How old are you, and you are still playing this? Qingfeng Li rolled his eyes, a bit unwilling.
He didn’t like scratcher tickets. That seemed naïve. Plus he has gotten tired of it.
“Go play for a while. If you can earn money through the scratcher tickets, I will reduce one of our punishments.”
Obviously, Xue Lin liked playing scratcher tickets. In order to play it, she even decided to reduce one punishment for Qingfeng Li.
“Alright. Let’s go play the scratcher ticket.” Hearing Xue Lin’s words, Qingfeng Li showed happiness on the face and immediately agreed to play the scratcher tickets.
Qingfeng Li was quite excited and quickly went into the store with Xue Lin.
This store was called Lucky Scratcher Ticket Store – a good name. The owner was a middle-aged chubby guy. He stuck out his beer belly and was chubby.
Seeing Qingfeng Li and Xue Lin come in, the chubby owner stood up and greeted enthusiastically.
“Guys, the scratcher tickets in our store have the highest winning rates. Come play one.” The chubby owner had smiles all over his face and introduced the scratcher tickets to the two.
“How much is it for one scratcher ticket now?” Xue Lin’s red lips slightly warped and asked.
“Beauty, my ticket is the cheapest here. 30 Yuan for one.” The chubby owned said, smiling.
“30 Yuan for one? That’s a bit expensive.” Xue Lin frowned and felt his tickets were a bit overpriced.
After all, when she bought tickets as a kid, it only cost 2 Yuan. Then all the prices went up, and the scratcher ticket became 5 Yuan for one.
Of course, there were more expensive ones with a slightly higher winning rates. The ticket Xue Lin bought last month was 10 Yuan for one.
But the tickets of this fatty actually cost 30 RMB each. Obviously, he wanted to trick the customer seeing she was wearing nice clothes.
However, since Xue Lin was already here, and she liked playing it, she took out 30 RMB reluctantly.
“Gorgeous, this is your ticket. Do you want me to draw the lottery or you do it on your own?”
The chubby owner grinned. He was happy seeing the beauty in front of him quickly take out the 30 Yuan.
“I’ll do it myself.” Xue Lin smiled faintly, stretched out her slender fingers and began to scrape. There was nothing on it.
She didn’t win. Xue Lin frowned slightly, and her eyes flashed with a shade of disappointment.
“Beauty, another one. You might win with the next one.” Seeing Xue Lin didn’t win, the chubby owner continued to sell her scratcher tickets.
At this time, the chubby owner was quite happy in his heart for earning 30 RMB easily.
“Alright. Another one.” Xue Lin nodded and bought another.
But when she scratched the ticket, it was empty again. She didn’t win.
“Beauty, buy another one. You’ll definitely win with the next one.”
The chubby owner still tried selling the tickets and asked Xue Lin to buy.
“OK, one more.” Xue Lin didn’t concede and bought another.
However, Xue Lin still didn’t win the third ticket.
“Beauty, you win when you buy more scratcher tickets. You should buy some more.”
The fatty was very happy at heart. That was easy money. He earned 90 Yuan in a moment.
I don’t believe that I can’t win. Xue Lin was not satisfied.
Buy, I’ll buy, I’ll buy more.
Xue Lin was determined and bought 30 tickets, spending 900 Yuan. But she still didn’t win.
“Really bad luck.” Looking at the 30 tickets and none of them winning, Xue Lin rolled her eyes, speechless.
After all, when she bought the tickets before, she could always win. Sometimes dozens, sometimes hundreds and 1000 Yuan at most.
Xue Lin was the president of a company with a few million in assets. She was not short on money, and just enjoyed the fun of buying scratcher tickets.
Having bought so many tickets today, she didn’t win at all. This made her very angry.
“This boss actually dared to be a conman and fake the ticket.”
Seeing the cunning smile in the chubby owner’s eyes, Qingfeng Li knew that he must have pulled a trick.
Qingfeng Li was the god of gamblers. He had played these scratcher tickets before and naturally, he knew how to fake them, and how he can win.
Damn fatty dare to bully my wife and make her angry. See how I will punish you. Qingfeng Li’s eyes flashed with a bit of chill and decided to punish this chubby owner using his own technique.
“Hey man, please give me three tickets.”
Qingfeng Li pointed at the three tickets at the bottom and asked the chubby owner to take out for him.
Through his observation he found that the chubby owner only scraped the ticket from the top, never taking out those at the bottom.
The tickets at the bottom must have some tricks.
