Chapter 1582

”Are you going to accept it, Xiao Qingqing? Say something!” Xiaoxiao was in a dilemma.

If I take it, we said we wouldn’t be in contact earlier.

If I don’t, it’s someone’s kind gesture.

”Forget it!”

Xia Ruqing stood up and took the stack of raffle tickets.

”It’s a thoughtful gesture from them.”

”Although that Shih Wanxin is quite annoying, Zhao Junyao’s attitude seems alright.”

”They sincerely invited us, and returning it would seem petty.”

”You two can split them; I already have two, so I don’t need any more!”

”That’s not gonna work. If you don’t want them, we don’t want them either!”

Xiaoxiao was firm, and Wenwen nodded in agreement.

”Yeah, we agreed to share our fortunes and woes together!”

Even though this phrase was a bit cheesy, that’s how they truly felt in their hearts.

Xia Ruqing was both amused and exasperated as she glared at them playfully.

”Fine, fine, fine!”

”I’m scared of you two!”

With that, she accepted the raffle tickets, and the three headed straight for the raffle area.

Wenwen’s steps were lively with excitement.

”With so many raffle tickets, I feel like I can win the first prize. Oh my god, I can’t wait!”

Xia Ruqing looked at the prizes listed on them.

They were mainly summer quilts, towel blankets, or even bags of rice, and better ones included electric griddles or rice cookers.

Just everyday items, but quite practical.

The grand prize was a trip to Europe, with only two spots, and Xia Ruqing wasn’t holding out any hope.

On the other hand, Wenwen was thrilled, already daydreaming about a cruise filled with the ocean, handsome guys, and western meals sparking a romantic encounter.

Xiaoxiao wanted to laugh, and Xia Ruqing shook her head helplessly.

”Is looks that important? You can’t eat them!”

Wenwen’s eyes were sparkling.

”It’s important, of course it is. You can’t eat looks, but without them, just the sight makes me want to vomit, so how can I still eat anything?”

Xiaoxiao pursed her lips.

”It doesn’t have to be that extreme. Some people aren’t handsome but are still pleasant to look at!”

”I think what’s most important is capability and character, ideally having aligned values and common interests!”

Wenwen was indifferent.

In her mind, good looks equaled justice, and without good looks, what’s the point of talking about love?

After a bit of discussion, both turned simultaneously to the silent Xia Ruqing.

”Xiao Qingqing, what do you think?” they asked in unison.

Xia Ruqing was lost in thought and snapped back to reality when asked.

”Me?”

”What could I want? I’m just average looking, with no job, no status, and no savings!”

”My life is tough enough as it is; how dare I hope for love? I might as well stay single!”

The two across from her fell silent instantly.

’Such a harsh reality!’

’Reality always makes one cry!’

...

They soon arrived at the raffle area.

The stage, empty moments ago, was now filled with people in suits, making a presence.

The host was introducing each of them, while the crowd excitedly gathered and buzzed with energy.

The three barely squeezed in closer to the radiant stage center.

Zhao Junyao was awkwardly holding Wanxin’s slender waist, while Wanxin looked playfully content, holding her fiancé’s arm with satisfaction.

They seemed like a golden couple.

In fact, Zhao Junyao felt quite embarrassed.

But his secretary had repeatedly instructed him to use this pose, saying it would be good for popularity with Miss Shih.

Zhao Junyao was utterly speechless.

Popularity, something he had figured out meant everyone’s affection.

Turns out, being a businessman in this world isn’t easy either!

To gain others’ affection, you often had to do things you didn’t like.

However, if it genuinely helped the business, it might be worth trying.

Still, this so-called 21st century was indeed more open than the Great Chu Dynasty’s customs!

...

The host rambled on for quite a while.

Speeches by the leaders, applauding guests, ribbon cuttings, photo sessions, etc., lasted for over half an hour.

Finally, it was time for the raffle, and the three were already standing until their feet hurt.

”It’s about to start, right?” Wenwen wore high heels.

Because they were cheap, they pinched a little, and now she could hardly stand it anymore.

”It’s about to start!”

”Just hang in there a bit longer!”

The two in flats calmly comforted her.

”I should’ve known not to wear these damn high heels!”

Wenwen complained as she looked down.

As she was speaking, there was a loud noise on the stage above.

A series of roaring electronic cannonades rang out, and once the fireworks were over, the host excitedly announced.

”The raffle event begins now!”

The leaders and guests had left earlier, leaving just the host facing a crowd eager for the raffle.

...

The raffle involved drawing numbers, and there were six categories of prizes.

The first prize was for two winners, second prize for ten, and third prize for twenty, fourth prize for fifty, and fifth prize for a hundred.

The sixth prize was unlimited; any numbers not drawn for the top five could be exchanged for a bag of rice that day with a ticket.

Compared to other malls offering tissues, towels, and soap, this mall was indeed quite generous.

As the raffle commenced, Wenwen and Xiaoxiao were very excited, and Xia Ruqing was also drawn into the atmosphere, continually comparing the numbers on her raffle tickets.

She held five tickets in her hand.

None for the fifth prize, though she did win the fourth one, while the third prize was missed, and so was the second one.

Then it was time for the first prize; she wasn’t hopeful, having already put the tickets away, ready to exchange them for rice.

However, Wenwen tugged at her.

”Don’t leave!”

”What if you win!”

Xia Ruqing shook her head decisively.

”You already said ’what if,’ it’s one in a million!”

”With so many tickets and only two for the Europe trip, do you think it’s possible? Let’s not waste time and move on!”

Even Xiaoxiao agreed, leaving only Wenwen still dreaming of her travel romance.

”It won’t take any more time!”

As they spoke, the first prize numbers flashed on the big screen.

”Wow, it’s out, it’s out, check quickly!”

Wenwen looked down, flipping through her five raffle tickets.

Xiaoxiao also took a quick glance.

Both of their heads lifted simultaneously: ”Didn’t win!”

”Check yours!”

Wenwen was full of anticipation.

Xia Ruqing reluctantly pulled out her tickets.

”Here, you just won’t give up till you see it!”

She handed her the ticket, then started to walk away.

Before she could take two steps, she heard Wenwen suddenly shriek.

”Wow!!!”

”Xiao Qingqing! You!”

”You...”

Even Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but exclaim.

It drew everyone’s attention toward them.

”First prize, Xiao Qingqing, you won the first prize!”

Wenwen was holding up a raffle ticket.

”See, I told you there was hope!”

Xia Ruqing took it and looked; sure enough, it matched the winning number on the big screen.

The host noticed the commotion and buzzed with enthusiasm.

”It seems we have a first prize winner! Let’s invite this lady on stage!”
