A few days later.
Morning. Central Party School.
After a lesson, Dong Xuebing returned to his dormitory with his notes. He threw himself on his bed and lay there exhausted. Dong Xuebing's mother is staying at Xie Huilan's place. These two days, Dong Xuebing had been preparing for his wedding. He had to attend classes, prepare for the wedding, and send out the invitations. It's fine to send the invitations to the ordinary leaders. But for the more important leaders from the Central Government, Dong Xuebing and Xie Huilan still have to visit them personally and deliver the invitations. They have no time to rest.
But marrying Huilan is Dong Xuebing's dream. That's why he is very excited and looks forward to their wedding.
Ring … ring … ring … Dong Xuebing's phone rang.
Dong Xuebing quickly answered. "Xie Huilan? What's wrong? "
"The wedding photos are out, and Sister Xie is at Wangfujing. Can you come over to take a look?"
"You can decide. I had just finished my class and might not be able to make it."
"Alright then, your mother and I will see what to choose."
"My mother is at your place?"
"Yes. This morning, she also wants to see the wedding photos, and we came over together."
"My mother's blood pressure is a little high these few days. You must take care of her."
"Haha … I know. Oh, how much money do we have left in our cards? A few hundred thousand? "
"We had spent quite a lot, and it should be around 100,000 RMB. What's wrong? Are you running out of money? "
"It's a little hard. We still need to spend a lot of money in the future. I did not ask my parents this time, and it might not be enough. How about this? I will speak to my mother, and they will pay for the rest."
"Don't do this. No …" Dong Xuebing wants to save face. Dong Xuebing wants to save face. "Don't worry about the money. I … I … I will think of a solution."
"Don't borrow money."
"No. I understand."
It's hard to do anything without money.
After hanging up, Dong Xuebing felt anxious. He had almost used up all his and Xie Huilan's savings over the years. What should he do next? Dong Xuebing does not want to let Xie Huilan's father pay for the wedding. He must think of a way himself. Where can he get more money? Shares? Futures? Both of them only had 100,000 yuan left. They didn't have enough initial capital, and they wouldn't be able to earn much by doing finance. It would be a waste of their remaining time. Then …
To Dong Xuebing, the only way to earn money is through the lottery.
But this was not a small problem. Dong Xuebing had played the lottery many times in the past, and he had won 100 bets last year. Although Qu Yunxuan was the one who claimed the winnings and used her identification card, he was too close to Qu Yunxuan. If he won the lottery again, people would be suspicious. His luck was too good.
Lottery ticket …
Lottery ticket …
Suddenly, the door outside opened.
Han Xinghua entered the room. "Xuebing? You're back? "
"Yeah, I just got in too. The classroom is too hot, so I came back to rest for a while."
"The temperature is indeed a bit stuffy today. Looks like it's going to rain." Han Xinghua is holding a newspaper in his hand and walks over. He opened the drawer and stuffed the newspaper into it. Dong Xuebing saw a few words on the newspaper, and it seems to be about the recent UEFA European Football Championship.
Dong Xuebing looked at Han Xinghua. "Brother Han, you like football?"
Han Xinghua laughed. "I like it. I had gone out to buy the football newspaper earlier. The UEFA European Football Championship is very popular now. What's wrong? Do you like to watch it?"
"I only read it occasionally. I don't really understand."
"Alright. Let's talk about football another day. Let's go. It's time for class."
"There are still 10 minutes left. I need to rest a while more. I am too tired these two days."
"Ok. I will leave first. Don't be late, or I will deduct your school credits."
"Ok."
After Han Xinghua left, Dong Xuebing remembered his roommate had been buying a copy of the football newspaper and placing it in that drawer every day.
Football …
Football …
Can I buy the football lottery ticket myself?
Dong Xuebing is excited. The more he thinks about it, the more he thinks about it!
The reason was simple. The football lottery was different from other lotteries such as the Double-toned Ball. Buying the football lottery did not depend purely on luck, but more on knowledge. Which team would win and which team would win was not something that could be determined by simply touching a few numbers. It was also not something that could be won by machine selection. Those who could win the big prize were all people who had a good understanding of football. At most, they needed a little bit of luck. This was for sure. If Dong Xuebing buys the football lottery ticket himself, even if someone finds it suspicious, they will not be able to say anything. After all, this is a professional lottery!
This is the one!
Dong Xuebing needs this lottery ticket urgently. He took out his laptop and went online to the football lottery website. He clicked on the betting page and looked at it. The UEFA European Football Championship is still ongoing, and there are 14 matches on the page. The deadline for betting is also today. Czech Republic vs Poland, Greece vs Russia, etc.
Dong Xuebing looked at the rules of the football lottery, but he does not know much about it and can only do some research.
In the end, Dong Xuebing knew what to do. He stood up and walked over to his roommate's drawer. He opened it and saw four sheets of newspapers. They were all the latest football papers. Dong Xuebing closed the drawer and reached out for the cabinet where the newspapers were placed. He mumbled "FORWARD" in his heart.
One minute …
Three minutes …
Five minutes …
The FORWARD is over!
Dong Xuebing took a deep breath and opened the drawer slowly.
Suddenly, the four newspapers in the cupboard had become about ten. They were piled together and laid quietly in the cupboard.
Success!
The FORWARD is in effect!
Dong Xuebing immediately takes out the top few newspapers and looks at the dates. It's tomorrow, the day after, the day after, and the day after!
Dong Xuebing is very excited. He quickly sits in front of his PC with the newspaper and compared the results of the matches. After that, he flipped through the football newspapers and jotted down all the results. The newspaper had already published the results of all the matches. Although Dong Xuebing does not watch football often, he knows which teams are stronger and which teams are weaker. After reading the results, Dong Xuebing knew not many people will win the First Prize. It's because five to six matches were dark horses, and two of them were dark horses!
One match is still fine, but five to six matches …
This was a little difficult to guess. It was very difficult for anyone to think of it!
But Dong Xuebing is an exception. He doesn't even need to guess, as the results of the future football newspapers had already announced the results of the matches. This is not the analysis of football critics or betting odds. It's the truth.
I can place my bets now.
Dong Xuebing looked at his watch and registered an account. He doesn't care if he is late for class. He immediately clicked on the 14 matches of the Football Lottery. Dong Xuebing chose 14 matches is because the probability of winning is very low, and the prize money is higher. It's the same as other lotteries, and the maximum prize is 5 million RMB. With so many dark horses, Dong Xuebing felt it should not be a problem to win 4 million RMB.
Of course, Dong Xuebing will not be so silly to bet on only one result. It will be too conspicuous.
To avoid trouble, Dong Xuebing used all the 100,000 RMB in Sister Xie's bank account to place bets. Although Dong Xuebing knows those results are wrong and will not win, he still blindly placed bets. In the end, Dong Xuebing followed the results of the papers and placed 30 bets. The prize pool is only slightly more than 100 million RMB, and 30 bets is the limit. Even if he placed more bets, it will still be the same amount, and it will be too conspicuous.
Ok!
Dong Xuebing paid, and the transaction is a success!
After doing all these, Dong Xuebing stretched and confirmed that he did not buy the wrong things. He picked up the football newspapers and burned them with a lighter. He even threw the ashes into the toilet bowl and flushed it away. Not a single trace of the ashes was left.
Suddenly, Dong Xuebing's phone rang.
He looked at the number, and it was Xie Huilan. "What did you do?"
Dong Xuebing was stunned. "What do you mean what did I do?"
"You used my online banking account? Your Sister Xie has a consumer phone to remind you. "
"Huh? Err … I used it for a while."
Xie Huilan replied helplessly. "You used it for a while? I think you had used all the money in our bank account. 100,000 RMB? You are spending money without batting an eyelid. "
Dong Xuebing laughed. "I am also doing this to make money."
"What did you make?"
"Soon. I had placed 100,000 RMB in the Football Lottery, and I had made the predictions for this match. The results should not be wrong."
"Are you sure? If this 100,000 RMB is wasted, our family will not have a single cent left. "
"Don't worry. Don't you know me? I will not do anything I am not confident of. This match should be fine. I will win. "
"Alright. I will wait for you to hit the jackpot again. Hahaha."
"Eh? You really think I will win?"
"I can tell that in your dictionary, there is no such thing as' impossible. 'You had made almost 300 million RMB from scratch. What's there for me to doubt now? Haha … furthermore, I will not feel bad for you spending so much money. "
"Huilan, this is the first time I realized you are so nice."
"What do you mean? Do you think I am not nice in the past? "
"Ah … that's not what I mean. How can you not be nice? That's right. I felt you are too strong in the past."
"You still don't understand me. After we get married, I will let you know how gentle I am. Hahaha."
"Ah? Are you serious? "
"Yes. It's fake."
Dong Xuebing: "… …"
