After leaving the school, walk 500 meters to the left and you will find a welfare lottery betting station.

The boss who sells lottery tickets is a middle-aged man in his forties. At this time, he is watching "Xuanyuan Sword" on the computer. There is also a lottery player inside who is studying the two-color ball trend chart on the wall.

Li Xiangming looked at the trend chart on the wall. The lines were connected in such a mess that there was no trick at all. However, the lottery player was looking at it with great interest. While reading, he wrote some notes on the paper.

number.

"Boss, give me the chance to choose two double-color balls!" Li Xiangming said gently.

After clicking twice on the betting machine, two sets of numbers soon came out. The boss pointed to the numbers above and asked: "Can these two bets be OK?"

Li Xiangming nodded, then took out his wallet and prepared to pay.

At this time, the boss suddenly said: "Would you like two scratch-off tickets? This kind of horse racing has a very high winning rate. A student just scratched off three thousand yuan!"

When Li Xiangming heard this, he felt a little itchy, so he nodded and said, "Take it out and let me shave two of them!"

The boss smiled and took out the horse racing scratch-off tickets. Li Xiangming randomly selected two. He scratched out the first one, but he didn't win, and then scratched out the second one. His eyes lit up, and he ran out faster than the four on the left.

The time is short, which proves that he has won. Then scrape off the following amount. At this time, Li Xiangming felt a little excited. I don’t want one hundred thousand yuan, nor fifty thousand yuan. Just scrape out three thousand yuan for me!

Soon, the amount came out, Yuan!

Li Xiangming was a little disappointed, so he decided to scratch another one and won again, but still for two yuan.

If you shave again, it’s still two yuan!

Still two yuan!

Still two yuan!

…

It's really weird today. Li Xiangming scratched out all the horse racing lottery tickets, all of which were two yuan. Although he won two yuan every time, Li Xiangming still didn't win any money.

Two yuan each time is considered a capital guarantee, and he still has to pay six yuan.

At this time, both the boss and the lottery players showed incredible expressions.

When the lottery players saw that every one of Li Xiangming's scratches had a prize, they couldn't help but be excited and said to the boss: "Take out those five-yuan ones and let me scratch two!"

After the boss took it out, he let the lottery players choose, and said to Li Xiangming with a smile: "Young man, do you want this kind of scratch-off? This kind is five yuan a piece, and the maximum prize is 500,000. You are so lucky today, I think you should

Give it a try.”

When Li Xiangming heard this, he thought it made sense, so he decided to wait for the lottery player to make his choice before choosing two more.

The lottery player quickly drew two tickets, but unfortunately, he didn't win any of them.

Li Xiangming randomly scratched two pieces. The first one didn't win, but the second one won five yuan.

Another scratch is still five yuan!

Still five yuan!

Still five yuan!

The lottery player looked excited and quickly shaved two more times, but didn't hit any hair.

Li Xiangming ignored him and kept scratching out all the five-yuan scratch-off tickets. Except for one that missed, all were five-yuan. This seemed magical, but in fact, ****** lost another five yuan.

dollars.

Now, it's time for him to pay the eleven yuan fee.

The boss was shocked when he saw the scene in front of him. He had never seen such a situation before. At this time, the lottery player seemed to see some mystery and said to the boss: "Take all the scratch tickets that cost ten yuan."

Come out, I bought them all!”

The boss looked a little jealous. Today's situation was a bit strange. Maybe the grand prize of one million was hidden in these thirty ten-yuan scratch tickets. Even so, he still took them all out to the lottery player.

People who sell lottery tickets generally don't buy lottery tickets themselves. This is just like people who run casinos who generally don't allow their family members to gamble, because they know that this is a trap, and if they fall in, they may be in danger!

Seeing that the scratch tickets were sold out, Li Xiangming was about to pay and leave. At this time, the boss suggested: "Young man, would you like to buy two 3D cards? This 3D card has a high chance of winning, and it only costs two yuan a piece!"

"Okay, let me choose one first."

Li Xiangming thought for a while, and then reported three more numbers: "5, 1, 2."

These three numbers are of great significance to Li Xiangming, because May 12th is the day when he and Guo Linlin open a house, and it is also the day when he changes from a boy to a man, so it is very meaningful for him to choose these three numbers.

of numbers.

After Li Xiangming paid the money, he looked at the lottery players who were playing scratch-off games. At this time, he had already scratched nearly fifteen pieces. His expression looked very depressed, and there was sweat on his forehead. It was obvious that he had scratched off the lottery tickets.

Of the fifteen cards, none of them were successful.

"Young man, come and help me scratch a few!" the lottery player said to Li Xiangming politely.

"I'm afraid……"

"It's okay! Just scratch it and I'll pay!" The lottery player was afraid that Li Xiangming thought he was cheating him, so he quickly took out his wallet and paid for the thirty scratch-off tickets.

"You are lucky today, I believe in you!" the lottery player encouraged him.

After hearing this, Li Xiangming scratched two tickets for him. The strange thing was that he didn't hit any of them this time. He scratched two more tickets and still missed. Seeing the disappointed eyes of the lottery players, Li Xiangming was too embarrassed to scratch again, so

, quickly found an excuse and left.

…

When they arrived at Shuiyunjian, it was almost seven o'clock. Li Xiangming stood in front of the hotel and took a look at the magnificent hotel and the neon sign. He thought to himself, this is the first time in his life that he has entered a hotel.

Such a high-end place.

Li Xiangming stood up straight, calmed down his excitement, and walked in in high spirits.

"Welcome to Shuiyunjian. Sir, would you like to dine or stay?" The receptionist smiled and bowed to Li Xiangming. This kind of big hotel is really unusual, with such considerate service.

"Well, let's have a meal!" Li Xiangming replied with a smile.

"Okay, please come with me!" The receptionist took Li Xiangming to the service desk, then looked at a beautiful woman in front of the computer and said: "Xiao Huan, this gentleman is dining, please book a table for him!"

"Sir, I wish you a pleasant meal!" The receptionist smiled at Li Xiangming and then returned to her work.

Her smile was so sweet, making people feel extremely gentle and comfortable. Li Xiangming looked at her tall and elegant figure and couldn't help but be fascinated.

"Sir, are you alone or with friends?" the beautiful woman named Xiao Huan asked.

Li Xiangming came back to his senses. When he heard Xiao Huan's question, he suddenly thought of something. He was in a hurry today and he even forgot to bring his mobile phone. He also didn't make an appointment with Zheng Siyang about which room it was in advance. This was a big mistake!

Could that kid be deceiving himself on purpose?

"Sir, please confirm the number of people. We need to determine the table according to the number of people!" Xiao Huan looked at Li Xiangming with strange eyes. Li Xiangming was wearing street stall goods worth tens of yuan, and this kind of big hotel,

The cheapest meal costs hundreds or even thousands of yuan. This kind of consumption is probably not something that people like Li Xiangming can afford.

However, she didn't dare to make a judgment. In a big city like Shanghai, there were too many rich people. Maybe those people who dressed plainly were big bosses who controlled several companies behind their backs, and those who dressed themselves up

A woman who is elegant and gorgeous may be a weakling.

In a big city like Shanghai, you can’t tell anything about people’s appearance.

Li Xiangming looked a little embarrassed when she asked her, so he asked weakly: "Excuse me, has a gentleman named Zheng Siyang booked a room here?"

"Ah? Are you Mr. Zheng's guest?" Xiao Huan was startled, and a flattering look immediately appeared on his face: "Oh, Mr. Li, why didn't you say earlier, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the service was not good just now, could you please

forgive……"

Li Xiangming saw Xiao Huan's welcoming look and thought to himself, Zheng Siyang must have a good background. She was just his guest, and the service staff in this hotel were so polite to him, so his father must be a big shot.

"Please follow me, Mr. Zheng is waiting for you in the bakery above!" Xiao Huan took Li Xiangming into the elevator, then took him directly to the third floor, walked to the door of private room 305, and knocked on the door.

"Master Zheng, your guest is here!" Xiao Huan said politely.

The door opened. Zheng Siyang looked at Li Xiangming and said with a smile on his face: "You are finally here. I thought you wouldn't come! ...Come in and sit down!"

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long!" Li Xiangming said with a smile.

The private room was lavishly decorated, and the chandeliers hanging above were priceless. Moreover, there were some murals hung around the walls, and there was a computer on a small table in front of it.

If it's a high-end hotel, it's different.

"Here, smoke!" Zheng Siyang took out the cigarette case, took out one and handed it to Li Xiangming.

Li Xiangming took it and glanced at it. It turned out to be a giant panda. This kind of cigarette cost hundreds of yuan a pack. Compared with the five yuan a pack of Red Gold Dragon that he usually smoked, he could buy at least 20 packs.

Zheng Siyang is indeed the second generation of rich people, and the lighters he uses to light the fire are from ZIPPO.

In a large hotel like this, usually after you order the menu, the food will be prepared in advance. When you want to eat, just say it and the waiter will bring the food immediately.

"The dishes are ready. Should we eat now or surf the Internet first?" Zheng Siyang asked with a smile.

"Eat first, I didn't eat much at lunch, so I specially saved what I can eat now." Li Xiangming said jokingly without being polite.

Zheng Siyang nodded, snapped his fingers, and asked the waiter to serve the dishes. Soon, all the dishes were served. There were a total of twelve plates, all of which were expensive dishes, such as abalone, bird's nest, and delicacies. Li Xiangming did not mention eating these dishes.

Yeah, I've never even heard of it.

"With so many dishes, I'm afraid we won't be able to finish them all just for the two of us!" Li Xiangming looked at Zheng Siyang and suggested, "How about we invite a few more classmates to come over and eat together?"

"Li Xiangming, why should I save anything? Just eat as much as you can. If you can't finish it, you can just pack it up and take it home!" Zheng Siyang's face was full of generosity, as if he didn't care about money at all.

When Li Xiangming heard what he said, he stopped being polite. The two of them picked up their chopsticks and started eating.
