Chapter 377 0367 [Emotional Value Must Be Provided]

"Should we buy the lottery tickets for tomorrow's event today?" Tao Xue's little brain suddenly became clever.

Chen Guiliang didn't really pay attention to the lottery situation and asked somewhat confusedly, "I know you can buy football lottery tickets on the same day, but I'm not very clear about the Olympic lottery. What time is the first match tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow morning." Bian Guanyue remembered it clearly; when she was a volunteer, she needed to memorize the time and location of the next day's event.

Chen Guiliang said, "Then I definitely have to buy the lottery ticket today."

"Let's go!"

Tao Xue was very enthusiastic about this; the bets were secondary, she mainly thought it was a lot of fun.

Bian Guanyue was somewhat helplessly dragged away, and arrived at the lottery shop at the entrance of the residential area in a daze.

There weren't many people in the store at the moment; even the owner was watching the opening ceremony.

Chen Guiliang asked, "Are the Olympic lottery tickets still on sale for tomorrow?"

The shopkeeper kept his eyes glued to the TV, completely ignoring them: "You can buy tickets until 11 PM tonight. Which kind do you want? There's a matching game where you guess the number of medals the Chinese team will win. There's also a daily lottery where you answer questions about the day's matches, and a parlay..."

Chen Guiliang said, "Let's take a look at all the different lottery numbers."

The boss then stood up, took out several types of Olympic lottery tickets, laid them on the table and explained them in detail, then suddenly laughed and said, "Oh, Mr. Chen also buys lottery tickets."

There are quite a few IT company owners in this neighborhood, and one of them has already recognized Chen Guiliang.

"Buy a few and see how lucky I am," Chen Guiliang said.

Chen Guiliang picked up a "Daily Lottery" ticket, which contained 10 questions. He could choose any 6 questions and answer them all correctly to share the prize pool.

Question 8: The event in which the Chinese team won its first gold medal on August 9th: A. Fencing; B. Weightlifting; C. Shooting; D. Other or none.

Chen Guiliang knows the answer to this question perfectly well.

In another phase of his life, he was interning at a newspaper in Guangdong Province. The first gold medal of the Olympics came from Guangdong, and the province's major newspapers gave it extensive coverage.

Choose B, weightlifting.

The second question is about the total number of gold medals won by the Chinese team on the first day of the Olympics.

Was it two or three?

Chen Guiliang was unsure and wasn't in a hurry to choose. He was a problem-solving expert, and by combining his knowledge with the information he had, he might be able to deduce the answer to this question when working on the later ones.

After reviewing all 10 questions, Chen Guiliang was able to confirm 7 of them.

You can win a prize if you answer all 6 questions correctly.

Chen Guiliang selected 6 answers and said to the shopkeeper, "Buy 5000 bets based on this set of answers."

"Huh?" The boss looked at Chen Guiliang in surprise.

Bian Guanyue and Tao Xue also looked at him, not understanding why Chen Guiliang bought so many bets.

But it doesn't matter, Mr. Chen has money.

Actually, there isn't much prize money. This type of lottery sets up a prize pool based on the total number of bets, and the winners split the prize pool equally among themselves.

Just for fun.

Chen Guiliang was too lazy to buy other types of lottery tickets because he couldn't guess the numbers at all.

Tao Xue looked at it for a long time and muttered, "There are no lottery tickets for guessing the first gold medal of the Olympics. This is the only one where you can choose to guess the first gold medal of the Chinese team."

Chen Guiliang said, "Then let's make a bet in private. Guan Guan, the first event to finish should be air rifle shooting, right?"

“Yes, the women’s 10-meter air rifle.” Bian Guanyue nodded.

Tao Xue immediately said, "I choose Team China!"

She didn't recognize any of the female air rifle athletes, let alone know their specific names, so she could only vaguely say that the Chinese team would win the championship.

After making her selection, Tao Xue confidently declared, "If I guess right, you all have to grant me one request!"

“Sure,” Chen Guiliang said with a smile.

Bian Guanyue actually wanted to choose the Chinese team, but Tao Xue beat her to it. She then said, "Then I'll choose Russia. It seems like the Russian team is quite strong."

Tao Xue said, "China and Russia have both been chosen, so you can only choose the United States now, senior."

Chen Guiliang countered, "Why can't we only choose the United States?"

Tao Xue naturally said, "Because China, the US, and Russia are the strongest, they have the greatest chance of winning the championship."

“Hmm.” Bian Guanyue actually agreed with this statement.

Chen Guiliang was overjoyed: "I choose the Czech Republic."

Tao Xue asked, confused, "Are Czechs really good at shooting?"

Chen Guiliang said, "I don't know, I just picked randomly."

The boss, listening with amusement, couldn't help but say, "How about I choose one too? Let's bet 100 yuan. I'll choose South Korea."

Chen Guiliang asked, "You're so old, why are you still a fan of Korean culture?"

The boss said, "South Korea is very good at shooting, okay?"

Bian Guanyue and Tao Xue buried themselves in answering the questions, and after filling in the blanks randomly, they each bought five "Daily Lottery" tickets.

On their way home, a night breeze in the neighborhood sobered them up considerably.

Bian Guanyue finally realized how absurd tonight had been. She felt wronged, but even more so, helpless. But she had already compromised; could she really go back on her word? She was a woman who always kept her promises.

Falling in love with a man like this means you may have to accept reality for the rest of your life.

Back inside, we continued watching the opening ceremony.

Chen Guiliang embraced them both at the same time again. This time, he was already quite skilled. Tao Xue leaned into his arms, and Bian Guanyue followed his lead.

That scoundrel!

Bian Guanyue became increasingly annoyed and pinched Chen Guiliang hard again.

"hiss!"

Chen Guiliang experienced both pain and pleasure.

After watching TV until nearly midnight, Chen Guiliang said, "It's late, let's go to sleep."

Bian Guanyue froze, thinking that Chen Guiliang wanted the three of them to sleep together.

She didn't refuse immediately, but she was very unhappy and remained silent in a sullen mood.

Chen Guiliang really didn't have such a suicidal idea.

At least not tonight.

"I'm going to take a shower." Bian Guanyue's first reaction was to avoid it.

While Bian Guanyue was taking a shower, Chen Guiliang escorted Tao Xue back to her guest room and whispered, "I'm sorry, I have to coax Senior Bian today."

"Yes, I know." Tao Xue was very obedient.

Chen Guiliang hugged and kissed Tao Xue, comforting her for a while before saying, "Go to sleep, I'll play with you tomorrow."

"Okay." Tao Xue nodded.

Chen Guiliang then closed the door and ran to the bathroom.

"Oh, what are you doing here?"

"Let's take a shower together."

"go out!"

"She's already asleep. I'll stay with you tonight."

"I think you'll stay with me even if you want to sleep!" "No, I just want to stay with you."

"Don't touch me."

"..."

Chen Guiliang had figured out that women needed to be coaxed.

As long as you make her happy, she can convince herself to accept whatever outrageous things you do.

The two then became intimate in the bathroom.

The thought of Tao Xue being at home initially made Bian Guanyue resistant, but gradually she began to feel a little excited. Even though Tao Xue was the official girlfriend, doing this felt like having an affair.

Tao Xue was tossing and turning in the guest room, unable to fall asleep.

No woman wants to be a mistress for life.

Tao Xue was also unwilling.

"What should I do? This senior is such a womanizer, but the senior did start dating me earlier. Oh well, whatever, I'll deal with it after graduation." Tao Xue took out her phone and chatted with her best friend, trying to relieve her depression.

But it was too late, and she sent several text messages, but no one replied.

The next morning.

Bian Guanyue woke up feeling refreshed; she had been well taken care of the previous night. Chen Guiliang had gone to great lengths, even bordering on ingratiating, which made Bian Guanyue feel particularly satisfied.

Tao Xue is still sleeping; she had insomnia last night and had only been asleep for a little over an hour.

Chen Guiliang wrote a note and posted it on Tao Xue's door, then personally escorted Bian Guanyue to do volunteer work.

Her post was not far away, near Liudaokou.

We stopped at a shop for breakfast along the way, and when we arrived at our destination, the other volunteers were already in place.

This dilapidated train station had a full six volunteers on staff.

Three men and three women.

One of them came from out of town and did not study, work, or live in Beijing.

"Look! Someone is driving Bian Guanyue to the border!"

"Passat, not expensive."

"Didn't the internet say her boyfriend is Chen Guiliang? He must drive a BMW or Mercedes."

"He's here, he's here. Wait, her boyfriend really does look like Chen Guiliang!"

"..."

Several volunteers started discussing it, mainly because Bian Guanyue was so beautiful that they had some guesses about her identity.

Some people even searched her name on Baidu and found that Bian Guanyue was the original singer of "The Wind Rises" and was elected the campus beauty of the Capital University of Economics and Business for three consecutive years.

There are rumors circulating on the Baidu Tieba forum of the same name at the University of International Business and Economics that Bian Guanyue is Chen Guiliang's girlfriend.

"Good morning." Bian Guanyue smiled and waved.

"Hello. Have you had breakfast yet? I brought some steamed buns for everyone," a boy said, his eyes glancing at Chen Guiliang.

Bian Guanyue said, "Thank you, I've already eaten."

A girl grabbed Bian Guanyue's hand very enthusiastically: "You wouldn't admit yesterday that your boyfriend is President Chen. You don't treat us like friends at all!"

"Hello Chen Guiliang, I'm a third-year student at China Agricultural University. Our school is nearby." A boy took the initiative to shake hands with Chen Guiliang.

Chen Guiliang took out a few slips of paper: "Everyone has worked hard. Please take care of Guan Guan during this time. This is a small gift I prepared for everyone."

Five volunteers took the small piece of paper and saw that it contained a Zhihu invitation code.

What is this thing? Three of them were completely baffled.

Bian Guanyue suffered last night, so Chen Guiliang had to go out of his way to appease her. In front of the five volunteers, he said with great concern, "If the sun is too strong, find a place to cool off. There's no need to push yourself so hard. I'll be worried if you get sick from the heat."

Upon hearing this, the two girls were incredibly envious.

They all want a boyfriend who is handsome, rich, and so gentle and considerate!

Bian Guanyue knew Chen Guiliang was just flattering her, but she still felt very pleased. Everyone has vanity, and at this moment her vanity was greatly satisfied.

Chen Guiliang continued to speak intimately with Bian Guanyue, and before leaving, he hugged her and kissed her forehead in farewell.

One girl exclaimed dramatically, "Ugh, I can't take it anymore! Do you guys have to be so lovey-dovey? There are people standing right next to us!"

Bian Guanyue felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey.

If Chen Guiliang can continue like this, it wouldn't be a big deal for her to accept Tao Xue.

"I go first."

"Drive carefully."

The two continued to shower each other with affection.

Watching Chen Guiliang drive away, one girl said, "Your boyfriend is so good to you."

“Yeah, if my boyfriend were half like that, I’d be laughing in my sleep,” another girl said.

Bian Guanyue was secretly pleased, unable to hide her smile: "He's alright, he's always been like this."

A boy asked, "What's this invitation code for?"

Another guy said, "Zhihu invitation codes are in high demand. If you don't need them, you can post them for sale on the Zhihu forum with the same name. You can get at least a few hundred yuan, and if you're lucky, you can even get over a thousand."

"So expensive?"

"Zhihu has never opened registration, but many industry experts answer questions there. Especially when you encounter professional problems, you can get a solution by asking on Zhihu. Wealthy people don't care about a few hundred or a thousand yuan; they'd rather get an invitation code."

"Damn, I'm not selling this invitation code. I have to write my graduation thesis next semester, and maybe I can get some guidance from experts on Zhihu."

"Chen Guiliang is still amazing; he can make an exceptionally good website even with just a few simple steps."

"Isn't that obvious? Their company is already listed in the US."

"I think Game Science is more awesome than ByteDance; making games is too profitable."

"..."

The three boys kept discussing Chen Guiliang's career.

The two girls then asked Bian Guanyue who was pursuing whom.

Bian Guanyue's emotional value was already at its peak, and she said with a touch of pride, "He pursued me in high school."

"He hadn't started his company yet back then?"

"Ah."

"I heard he used to be very poor?"

"I don't have much money."

"Then you've struck gold."

"..."

Bian Guanyue became the focus of the group of six, while the other five volunteers were extremely enthusiastic.

It even had a hint of ingratiation.

Bian Guanyue understood their thoughts, but she still couldn't suppress her joy.
