The World's Richest Man: Start with the Daily Intelligence System

14: Chapter 14 InterviewQian Lei nimbly rolled down the car window, looking at the Sports Lottery Center, which had just opened its doors.

He was a reporter, often stationed at the Sports Lottery Center, making it convenient to interview winners as soon as possible.

All large prize redemptions in the city happened here. Lucky winners would come to the center to claim their prizes from time to time.

When he first started working, he envied these life winners, watching them excitedly and incoherently in front of the camera, and he often fantasized about how wonderful it would be to be like them.

As time went on, after seeing too many such people, he gradually became numb and could treat everything with a normal mindset.

At this moment, the cameraman next to him interrupted his thoughts: “Hey! Look, that person must be here to claim a prize, right? Their outfit is so outrageous.”

Qian Lei thought, “Such a fuss over nothing.” Many people who came to claim prizes were afraid of revealing their identities, so their outfits were more exaggerated than the last.

Dressing completely covered was just basic. There were also those who wore Ultraman masks, and even those who wore a Gourd Brothers-style Toad Demon costume were not uncommon.

After seeing so many, Qian Lei was no longer surprised.

He casually looked up and saw the approaching man. The expression on his face froze.

The man wore sunglasses, his hair was slicked back with wax into an exaggerated Mohawk, and he was dressed in a purple suit with a rose tucked into his chest pocket.

The most outrageous part was that he was dragging a snakeskin bag, and faintly, the words “Urea” could be seen printed on it.

Was he here for a wedding or to claim a prize? This was truly outrageous, like an outrageous person’s mother opening the door for another outrageous person, utterly ridiculous.

Liu Haorui walked flamboyantly towards the Sports Lottery Center’s main entrance, catching a glimpse of a car parked by the roadside. Through the rolled-down window, he could see two men, one of whom was carrying a camera.

There are reporters for an interview!

His eyes lit up, and he quickly turned around, pretending to casually walk past the car window.

At this moment, Qian Lei and the cameraman were still staring at him blankly, unable to react.

Liu Haorui frowned, “That doesn’t make sense? Isn’t my outfit obvious enough? They must be stunned by my charisma.”

Thinking this, Liu Haorui lightly coughed, “Oh, wow? The Sports Lottery Center isn’t in this direction after all.”

After speaking, he turned back and walked past the car window again.

Qian Lei and the other person in the car widened their eyes, still not having recovered.

“Oh, I didn’t take the wrong path after all,” the figure returned again, passing the car window.

“Huh, it was wrong again.” He passed the window again.

“Still not wrong.” He passed again.

“Wrong.” One more time.

How much does he want to be interviewed?

Qian Lei was speechless but finally snapped out of it. He quickly got out of the car, and the cameraman also turned on the camera, aiming it at Liu Haorui.

Qian Lei stepped forward with a polite smile and said, “Hello, sir, we are reporters from Daily Headlines. Would it be convenient for us to interview you for a few moments?”

Liu Haorui put on an exaggerated expression, as if he had just noticed them.

“Oh, I didn’t expect there to be reporters here, I didn’t even notice. A low-key man like me doesn’t easily accept interviews. Since you’ve already seen me, I’ll reluctantly agree.” He finished, looking at Qian Lei with an eager expression.

“Cough cough, okay, thank you for accepting the interview.” Qian Lei secretly thought, “You’re still pretending, can it get any more obvious?”

“Then please greet the audience in front of the camera.”

Liu Haorui adjusted his collar and said, “Hello everyone, my name is Liu Haorui, and I am honored to accept this interview today. First, I want to thank my parents. Without their hard work in raising me, I wouldn’t be standing here today to be interviewed.

Secondly, I also want to thank my elementary school homeroom teacher. It was his earnest teachings... (20,000 words omitted below)”

“That’s enough, that’s enough.” Qian Lei’s head was now filled with black lines. He really couldn’t help but interrupt him.

“Then, sir, do you have any experience buying lottery tickets that you can share with our many lottery friends?”

Liu Haorui said with a serious face, “I don’t think whether you win the lottery or not is important; what’s important is to persevere.”

Qian Lei nodded. Finally, he said something reliable.

Liu Haorui continued, “I am a model of perseverance. I have liked Zhao Dan for a long time, and whether she has a boyfriend or not, I always care about her and show concern for her.”

Mid-sentence, Liu Haorui directly pushed his face close to the camera and loudly declared: “Zhao Dan! I believe everything is just a test from you to me. As long as I persevere, I will definitely win you over!”

Qian Lei and the cameraman were on the verge of tears; this guy must be here to cause trouble!

Qian Lei realized that his years of professional ethics wouldn’t allow him to let this weirdo continue his antics.

He quickly cleared his throat to interrupt Liu Haorui from continuing, “Cough cough, okay, thank you for accepting the interview. Finally, would it be convenient to disclose the specific amount of your prize money?”

Liu Haorui innocently said, “I didn’t win anything.”

( ꒪Д꒪)ノ! ( ꒪Д꒪)ノ! ( ꒪Д꒪)ノ

Qian Lei stumbled, then glared at Liu Haorui, “If you’re not here to claim a prize, why say so much? You’re wasting my time!” He turned to get back into the car. He must not have checked the almanac today. He ran into an idiot.

Liu Haorui calmly grabbed him, “Why are you in such a hurry? I’m not claiming the prize myself; I’m claiming it for my brother.”

“So that’s how it is,” Qian Lei said, barely managing to restore his smile. “Then, sir, tell us, how much was the prize money?”

“How could I tell you such a private matter? Your questions as a reporter are too unprofessional!”

With that, he picked up the snakeskin bag from the ground and strode away.

Leaving Qian Lei in disarray, ruffled by the wind on the desolate autumn street.

After all that talk, not a single crucial detail was mentioned.

The cameraman next to him, however, thought of something: “Let’s hurry back. Meeting such a weirdo will definitely generate buzz. If it goes viral, we might even get a bigger year-end bonus.”

Qian Lei also thought it made sense. He quickly said, “Then what are we waiting for? Drive fast! Let’s get back and quickly upload the video. If we wait here, that weirdo might come out again and pester us.”

At this moment, Zhang Wei was discussing the GPU recycling operation plan with An Xiaoxi.

An Xiaoxi held a laptop and reported the situation: The area belongs to one building in a logistics park, leased by a Mini Storage company. It’s divided into dozens of small warehouses of various sizes, rented out for private use. For customer convenience, these warehouses have electronic password locks.

“I also hacked into their surveillance system and found that the property uses a clock-in patrol system. Every two hours, security guards come out to patrol and swipe their cards at various locations to complete clock-ins.

“Finally, for the nearby road cameras, we need to create a localized power outage to temporarily disable them.”

Zhang Wei frowned and said, “These issues are a bit tricky.”

“However, I can solve all these problems,” An Xiaoxi patted her small lawn (referring to her head/hair), saying proudly.
