Chapter 116: #116 - I don’t dare to pay this money!

"Mm."

Under Old Mr. He's envious gaze, Jiang Yuan calmly accepted the green tea that the lottery shop owner handed him.

The water was too hot.

Jiang Yuan took a small sip and didn't drink any more.

Having done what he needed to do, the lottery shop owner happily went back to his small business.

Only Old Mr. He remained.

He originally thought that as the grandfather of He Miao, a major customer, he could at least get a cup of water.

He stared at the lottery shop owner for a long time, expectantly.

But he didn't even get a cup of ordinary water, let alone tea.

Oh!

No!

To be more precise, not even his granddaughter He Miao, the big customer, got a cup of water.

In the entire shop,

the one receiving the best treatment was actually Jiang Yuan, who hadn't spent a single penny?

Thinking of this,

Old Mr. He felt even more uncomfortable.

With a sullen face, he looked at Jiang Yuan's back, finding it unpleasant no matter how he looked at it.

But despite feeling uncomfortable, Old Mr. He also knew that it wasn't easy for a small lottery shop like this to have its current customer flow.

It was right for the owner to spend more time attending to the new customers.

Thinking this way,

Old Mr. He convinced himself.

He no longer harbored any resentment towards the lottery shop owner.

Live Stream Chat:

"Old Grandpa He is so easily appeased!"

"Isn't it outrageous that Jiang Yuan, that dog, hasn't contributed anything and has already managed to appease the old man?"

"The owner is also a smart person, knowing that our Brother Yuan sitting here is a living sign, so naturally, he'll give Jiang Yuan the best treatment!"

"Alas! We all understand the reasoning, but it's just unfair to Old Mr. He, spending the most money and receiving the worst treatment."

"Why isn't Jiang Yuan buying lottery tickets? Does he think this lottery shop can't produce a winner?"

"???"

"I'm in a taxi on the way, and suddenly I don't know if I should still go to this lottery shop!"

"… …"

Old Mr. He didn't know what the internet users in the live stream were imagining.

After sitting alone for a while, the old man was genuinely bored.

The only acquaintance he had nearby was Jiang Yuan.

But that kid Jiang Yuan was sitting there cracking sunflower seeds, acting like a big shot, and wouldn't talk to him.

Bored, Old Mr. He simply went to the counter to find the lottery shop owner.

"Give me a book of those scratch-offs that that kid Jiang Yuan scratched."

Seeing the newly arrived thousand yuan, the lottery shop owner was in an exceptionally good mood.

This time, he directly poured a cup of water for Old Mr. He.

Although it was just a cup of ordinary water, not comparable to Jiang Yuan's tea,

Old Mr. He still felt refreshed after drinking this cup of water.

Drinking the water poured by the owner,

Old Mr. He moved a small stool for himself.

Sitting next to his granddaughter He Miao, he started scratching happily.

It had been several years since he played this game.

Scratching it really felt good!

Two minutes later,

Old Mr. He, who had scratched three tickets, couldn't feel happy anymore… …

The old man repeatedly examined his three scratch-offs, unwilling to believe his eyes.

No prize… …

No prize… …

Really no prize… …

A whole three scratch-offs, and not a single one was a winner!

Realizing this,

Old Mr. He became dispirited.

Even the cup of water that the owner poured for him couldn't restore Old Mr. He's previous good mood.

Hehe… …

Could a mere cup of water really restore a wounded old man to a good mood?

How could it be!

This cup of water was earned by him with a thousand yuan; it was what he deserved.

Old Mr. He drank that cup of water as if he were self-flagellating.

Then, unwilling to accept his fate, he continued to scratch the remaining scratch-offs.

Live Stream Chat:

"Tsk! Old Mr. He's experience has successfully made me retract the foot that was about to step out the door!"

"It's better to watch others scratch scratch-offs!"

The latest novels are first published on !

"Old Mr. He is basically acting out my life; he said he was just going to take a look, and then he quietly paid the money… …"

"I declare that the biggest beneficiary in this room is the lottery shop owner."

"If I were the lottery shop owner, I would definitely become sworn brothers with Jiang Yuan; this guy sitting in the lottery shop is no different from a mascot."

"Exactly; there were several people who originally had no intention of buying lottery tickets, but after hearing that Jiang Yuan had previously won a million here, they paid the money to buy lottery tickets without a second thought… …"

"Where's the director? Where's the chief director? We don't want to watch strangers buy lottery tickets; we want to watch Jiang Yuan buy them!"

"Yes, yes, yes! We want to watch Jiang Yuan buy lottery tickets!"

"Where's the chief director? Come out quickly and fulfill the wishes of us viewers!"

"… …"

Behind the scenes of the program team.

The chief director not only saw these contents on the chat of live stream room number twenty, but he also saw them very clearly.

The chief director was speechless.

The sound of his damned old partner, the chief producer of the program team, watching the fun came from beside him.

"Chief director, there are still so many program team viewers shouting for you to help fulfill their wishes!"

"Why don't you take out some money and ask Jiang Yuan to scratch a few?"

Watching his old partner's frustrated appearance, the chief producer sat beside the chief director, laughing very happily.

The two of them being able to be responsible for such a large-scale reality show with huge investments naturally meant that they also had some status in the industry.

And his old friend, after becoming famous, became unbearably arrogant.

He always thought that he was second only to God.

Now, a Jiang Yuan had appeared in the program team.

Jiang Yuan, as a "ordinary" contestant of the program team, was able to make a program team director like the chief director feel frustrated.

If such a spectacle were missed, who knows when it would be seen next time.

The chief producer did not hide his gloating smile at all.

He happily watched the chats in the live stream and his old friend's face, which looked darker than the bottom of a pot.

He began to appreciate it with satisfaction.

He didn't forget to add fuel to the fire in his mouth.

"The online voices are already so loud now, so just take out some money!"

"If you give Jiang Yuan a few scratch-offs, maybe those internet users in the chat will scold you less."

Chief director: "… …"

Hearing his good friend's words, how could the chief director not understand?

Don't look at this guy's tone, which is sarcastic and seems to be watching the fun.

In fact,

every word and every sentence his good friend said was for his own good.

His reputation as the chief director wasn't very good now; if he bought a few lottery tickets for Jiang Yuan, maybe he could win back some of his reputation.

But… …

"Why are you so slow, you guy? Such a good opportunity is placed in front of you, and you don't know how to cherish it."

Hearing his good friend's urging again,

a look that was more like crying than smiling appeared on the chief director's face.

"Good brother! It's not that I don't want to buy lottery tickets for Jiang Yuan to win back some reputation."

"It's just that… …"

"I don't dare to spend this money!"
