The super rich starts with the self-discipline challenge

Chapter 8 Let’s make a bet

Zhong Yun parked the car and walked towards the lottery store whistling. Mr. Su would be gone for at least three or four days, which was equivalent to three or four days of paid vacation, so he was naturally in a good mood.

These days, I can finally live a life of updating my blog every day.

Suddenly, his cell phone rang. It was Gao Yutao who asked him, "Are you free tonight? Let's go out for a drink. I'll introduce someone to you."

"I won't go."

"what happened?"

"I've stopped drinking."

"what?"

"I drank too much with you last time and almost got into trouble. Don't look for me if you want to drink. I'll talk to you next time. I still have to write tonight to pay back the update I owed last time..."

……

When Zhong Yun came to the lottery shop, he unexpectedly saw Ruan Xi standing inside with a scratch ticket in her hand.

Met her again.

He found it quite magical. In recent days, his time of going out and coming back was not regular, but he still met her every day. What kind of fate was this?

Zhong Yun walked in and heard the boss say a little embarrassedly, "You didn't win again. Otherwise, I'll give you one and you can try again."

So you are this kind of boss.

It's a bit beastly to flirt with high school students.

The boss is a man in his thirties.

When Zhong Yun entered, he saw Ruan Xi shaking her head, holding the scratch ticket in her hand, and passing by him. He joked, "Boss, you are so generous. Why don't you give me one too?"

When the boss saw it was him, he said, "You win the lottery every day, so you should save this little money. She is at the opposite end of the spectrum from you. She can never win no matter how hard she tries."

"Oh, does she come here often to buy?"

"Yes, she came to buy one almost every day for about two months, but she never won once. I felt embarrassed, so I thought of giving her one."

"So that's how it is. I thought you wanted to pick up the girl."

"How can that be? I have a girlfriend. Brother, give me one." The boss was a little embarrassed and took out a pack of Huanghelou and handed him one.

Zhong Yun took it and clipped it on his ear.

The boss lit up a cigarette and said, "That girl had a very hard life. Two years ago, her father died in a car accident. Not long after, her mother couldn't bear the shock and jumped off the building in the hospital. She is now the only one left."

"what?"

When Zhong Yun learned about Ruan Xi's background for the first time, he felt a little uncomfortable.

No wonder she seems so indifferent to everything.

No wonder she was so depressed that she wanted to commit suicide.

It's really miserable.

He sighed for a while and said, "Help me get one."

Scan the QR code to receive red envelopes, make payments, and scratch lottery tickets.

Three hundred dollars.

When I saw the amount, my heart couldn't help but beat faster.

Three hundred a day, that’s nine thousand a month, plus ten thousand in salary and five or six thousand in royalties.

His monthly income reached 25,000.

That’s three hundred thousand a year.

In this big city, it’s pretty good.

The boss exclaimed, "Brother, your luck is unmatched. You have won the lottery for five consecutive days. Why don't you try your luck with a lottery ticket? Who knows, you might win millions."

“Forget the lottery.”

Zhong Yun knew that he was not destined to have that fate.

……

Zhong Yun came out of the lottery shop and was about to go back when he saw Ruan Xi standing on the side of the road in a daze, staring at the mango tree planted by the roadside. It was unclear what she was thinking about and she didn't even notice that the green light had turned on.

Somehow, he saw a sense of brokenness in her empty eyes.

To get back to the community from here, you have to cross the traffic lights. This is a national highway with cars coming and going.

Zhong Yun walked to the traffic light and stopped. The light turned red.

As soon as I stopped, I saw Ruan Xi walking towards the road with his head down.

At this time, a Mercedes was speeding towards them at a very fast speed. There were only two seconds left for the green light, so in order to rush through before the red light, it sped up.

Ruan Xi was unaware and continued walking forward.

The Mercedes spotted her and started to brake, but it was too late.

They were about to hit each other.

Zhong Yun rushed forward, grabbed her schoolbag and pulled her back with force.

Whoosh!
There was only a difference of 0.5 seconds when the Mercedes narrowly brushed past her. After passing the traffic light, it slowed down and seemed to be observing through the rearview mirror. When it saw that she was fine, it accelerated and drove away again.

Zhong Yun didn't care about the Mercedes-Benz. Seeing Ruan Xi's pale face, she just looked at him steadily, with his figure reflected in her eyes. He didn't know whether she was too frightened or blaming him for meddling in other people's business.

Such a look...

A sense of worry rose in his heart, and he asked, "Are you okay?"

She shook her head, squatted down, and picked up the books scattered on the ground. Just now, Zhong Yun pulled too hard, and all the books in her arms fell to the ground.

He also squatted down to help her.

At this time, the light was green, and the two of them squatted in the crowd to pick up books.

By the time they had picked up all the books, the light turned red again.

Zhong Yun looked at Ruan Xi who was standing there silently and said, "I just saved you, don't you have to show your appreciation? How about treating me to a meal?"

After saying that, he saw her lowering her head and not responding.

He reached out and pulled one of her earbuds open, then faced her slightly panicked gaze and repeated what he had just said.

She nodded slightly, "Yeah."

This was the first time Zhong Yun heard her speak.

Ruan Xi stretched out her hand timidly.

He put the earplug in her palm, but she didn't put it back in her ears, so she just held it in her palm.

……

Nearby, in a restaurant called Green Grass Hall.

Zhong Yun and Ruan Xi sat face to face. "The food here is pretty good. Take a look and see what you want to eat."

She pushed the menu back and said, "You order."

He didn't hesitate and ordered three dishes and a soup.

It's dinner time now. There are a lot of people in the restaurant, and the men around are always looking over here intentionally or unintentionally.

Zhong Yun did not mention what happened just now. This was what he learned when he was saving Su Ziyu, the rebellious girl.

In order to win Su Ziyu back, he searched the Internet for various techniques for communicating with rebellious children. The biggest taboo was not to preach.

What young people hate most are people who sound too daddy-like. If you try to preach some great principles here, as soon as you open your mouth, people will be too lazy to pay attention to you.

He looked at the scratch ticket on top of the pile of books and asked, "Are you short of money?"

Ruan Xi shook her head and put the scratch ticket with footprints on it into the book.

Zhong Yun said, "I can also exchange experiences every day."

Ruan Xi's eyes dimmed. "It's useless. I have bad luck and have never won."

Zhong Yun could hear a kind of frustration and helplessness in her voice, and said with a smile, "What a coincidence, I'm lucky, I win every time."

Ruan Xi glanced at him and said nothing.

"What, you don't believe it?"

She shook her head.

"How about we make a bet?"

"What bet?"

"Starting tomorrow, we'll buy these scratch tickets together. You pick them and I scratch them, one a day. If I can win a prize for ten consecutive days, you have to agree to one condition of mine."

Ruan Xi looked at him, and something seemed to be rippling in her clear and bright eyes. She nodded gently and said, "Okay."

Zhong Yun stretched out his hand.

Ruan Xi was a little confused.

"Pull the hook."

She actually reached out her hand and hooked her little finger with his.

After a while, the food was served.

The two began to eat.

Ruan Xi ate only half a bowl and stopped eating.

Zhong Yun asked, "Why are you eating so little? Is the food not to your liking?"

She shook her head.

"So you're losing weight? You've become so skinny. Leave some room for the girls in your class."

Ruan Xi's pale face flushed slightly, and she whispered, "Actually, I've already eaten."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? It's such a waste to order so much and not be able to finish it."

"sorry."

"Why are you saying sorry to me? I didn't pay for it."

……

After Zhong Yun finished eating, he called the waiter over and said, "Pay the bill and get some take-out boxes."

When the waiter came to him with the takeaway box and the bill, he said, "Don't look at me, she's paying."

Ruan Xi had already taken out a small wallet from her schoolbag, unzipped it, and took out money to pay the bill.

This made a boy at the next table very envious. His girlfriend was so beautiful, and when they went out for dinner, his girlfriend even paid the bill.

Then I look at my own boyfriend. He spends a lot of money on eating out, watching movies and buying milk tea every day, but we haven’t even held hands.

He deeply felt the disparity in the world.
