During a phone call with Xia Ruoming, Yan Ming, the director of Zhejiang University's admissions office, received a piece of news that almost made him suffer a cardiac arrest due to excitement.
If the conditions are right, Xia Ruoming would consider going to Zhejiang University!
Of course, only Xia Ruoming herself knows what these "suitable conditions" are.
But that's not what he should consider, that's what the school should consider!
His task is to try his best to turn this "consideration" into reality!
After talking to Xia Ruoming, Yan Ming immediately made a formal application to the school.
Most of the top scorers in the college entrance examination either went to Tsinghua University or Peking University. Who would go to Zhejiang University? And not only the top scorers, but even the second and third place in the province would choose to go to Tsinghua University or Peking University.
[Ruomeng: Are you saying that I am not a serious person? ]
This has resulted in Zhejiang University always lagging behind in attracting talent, let alone recruiting top students.
Yan Ming would never miss a top scorer like Xia Ruoming who is interested in joining Zhejiang University. You have to know that last year's top scorer from Sichuan only had 669 points.
There were also calls from some schools that promised guaranteed financial support after graduation, but Xia Ruoming had already declined. "I didn't want to go to your school in the first place. There are no benefits. Are you kidding me?"
"My girl, it seems that Zhejiang University has agreed to your conditions?" Xia Jingsong looked at Xia Ruoming's somewhat smug look and asked with raised eyebrows.
"Of course, how can they not want me?" After answering Xia Jingsong's question, Xia Ruoming returned to the room and started grinning foolishly while holding the bank card.
Zhejiang University has agreed to her request, and the 300,000 yuan in cash will be deposited into her account now, as well as the benefits originally promised by Peking University and Tsinghua University: full tuition exemption, scholarships, and admission to graduate school, all of which will be given to her.
Xia Ruoming readily went through Zhejiang University's internal recruitment process without any delaying tactics. This further increased Zhejiang University's favorable impression of Xia Ruoming, and they even promised her some extra benefits that Xia Ruoming had not originally requested.
Seeing the cash arriving into her account, Xia Ruoming's mouth was almost crooked with smile. The little princess would never have thought that the ten million would be returned to her before August. Who knows what kind of expression the little princess would have by then.
Xia Ruoming was actually a little bit looking forward to it.
She had registered for the Sports Lottery APP long in advance. She clearly remembered that after the fight started in 2014, she couldn't even register on the Sports Lottery APP!
Fortunately, it is 2014 now. If it was 2018, not only would the risk be greater, but the APP would also be removed from the shelves due to anti-money laundering and anti-monopoly issues halfway through the World Cup, which would have been a troublesome thing for her.
So Xia Ruoming first bet the 300,000 yuan she got from Jiang Ruhua on Brazil's victory over Croatia in 90 minutes. She didn't bet on the score, even though the odds were only 1.3, but she decided to wait and see the situation first.
After the game started, it turned out not as Xia Ruoming had expected. Brazil defeated Croatia 3:1, and 300,000 became 390,000.
(Regarding the issue of red limit, I have thought about it for a long time and decided to remove it. I vaguely remember that the upper limit of a single bet in the 2014 match-loss lottery was only 5 million, and there were still billions of football bets that could not be compensated at all. However, I have already written this, so I will ignore the red limit. It is a pure cool article, just read it for fun without thinking.)
After making sure that the world line was not affected, Xia Ruoming started betting on scores directly, and stopped betting on games that she could not remember clearly. After the group stage, Xia Ruoming had multiplied the money in her card by 9 times, turning it into 41.31 million. In fact, she could make a lot of money by betting on eight-in-one bets, but Xia Ruoming always preferred stability. Although the world line had not changed, Xia Ruoming would only bet 1/3~1/2 of the money at most each time. Stability was the most important thing. If she lost all her money at once, she would cry her eyes out.
(ps: Taking the 2022 World Cup as an example, if the net loss is 300 million, the football lottery will be unbearable. It is a net loss, that is, after the betting amount is recovered, the football lottery still loses money, not to mention the 2014 World Cup, so in fact, billions are quite illogical, but for the needs of the plot, please ignore it.)
Xia Ruoming actually liked basketball more, but because of the influence of Xia Jingsong and Liu Ruoxue, she also became interested in football and did watch football games later.
Xia Ruoming still remembers the 2014 World Cup semi-finals vividly, because when Germany defeated Brazil 7:1, Xia Jingsong and Liu Ruoxue, fans of the Tank Team, almost cheered the roof off.
The odds of that "more" game were 1:408, and she didn't care whether the final score might become 8:1 or 9:1.
Because there is only one way to buy more than five balls, it is called more.
A bet of 19 million would yield a return of 7.7 billion. Even after deducting 20% of unexpected personal income tax, it would still be 6.2 billion!
Now she had her first pot of gold. She was not afraid of being caught and dissected. In her previous life, she was so miserable that she got drunk and was hit to death by a dump truck. How could it be any worse? Besides, in novels, people who are reborn must have some luck or something.
In fact, with 6.2 billion, even if she didn't start a business, she could live a comfortable life lying at home. As she had been kept by Jiang Ruhua in her previous life, she knew this best. Jiang Ruhua might not treat money as money, but she couldn't.
But human beings are born to be insatiable animals. If they have ten billion, they will think about turning it into ten billion. If they have ten billion, they will think about one hundred billion. If they have countless money, they will still wonder why they cannot live forever.
Humans are just such creatures.
Xia Ruoming only planned to buy this one match and no longer paid attention to the other knockout matches. She had no plan to continue buying after this match. Buying football matches might be the only thing she knew to be content with. Once she got addicted to gambling, even if she had another 70 or 80 billion, it would not be enough for her to squander. Therefore, she decided to give up the semi-finals and the subsequent Argentina vs. Germany.
Looking at the tens of millions in the card, Xia Ruoming ran directly to the rooftop and lit a cigarette to calm herself down.
She didn't dare to jump like that in front of Liu Ruoxue.
When she was with the little princess, money was just a number. She had everything she wanted, including diamond rings and necklaces, luxury cars and villas. But when she had to spend her own money, she realized how precious such a large sum of money was.
"After finishing this box, I'll quit smoking." Glancing at the few remaining cigarettes in the box, Xia Ruoming made up her mind. Although she didn't know what else she could use to relieve her frequent attacks of open-mindedness phobia, she had to make a good start in everything. Even for Chu Suhe, she couldn't continue smoking.
Looking at the starry sky, Xia Ruoming's eyes were a little blurry, and past memories emerged in her mind. Such scenes seemed to have appeared countless times in her memory. Whether it was confessing to Xu Fengwu, or having a heart-to-heart talk with Chu Suhe, or watching the moon with Jiang Ruhua, she appeared in such scenes countless times, but every time, it seemed that she did not get a good ending.
