Time passed quickly and more than half an hour had passed while we were chatting.
Ni Wenchun chose the right time, stood up from the chair, patted his hem, put his hands behind his back and strolled in front of Fang Zheng.
He smiled and said, "Brother Fang, it's probably past the time for the lottery draw at this hour, why haven't your people come back yet?"
Fang Zhengyi was also puzzled. This place was not too far from Banshanfang. It would definitely take less than an hour for a fast horse to go back and forth.
Could it be that Zhou Tie got addicted to whoring and went to the brothel?
Seeing Fang Zhengyi remained silent, the people around him could not help but ask, "My dear brother, you are not just pretending, are you? Can anyone buy the first prize of the top scholar ticket if they want to?"
"Yeah, forget about the big talk. We're all waiting for the party to end, and it's getting late. If you can't do it, just tell me straight out."
"Don't waste any more time."
Ni Wenchun quietly retreated into the crowd and looked at Fang Zhengyi proudly.
Fang Zhengyi was helpless at the moment and could only drink his tea calmly.
After a while, seeing that he had no reaction, the crowd began to get angry.
"Brother, stop pretending. Can you do it?"
"Don't waste everyone's time here!"
All kinds of urging and unpleasant words began to be said one after another.
Just as Fang Zheng was getting more and more impatient, Zhou Tie's voice rang out behind everyone.
"Everyone, make way! I bought the No. 1 ticket back!"
Zhou Tie shouted as he pushed through the crowd and walked to Fang Zhengyi, handing him a note breathlessly: "You're late, you're late. There are too many people in Banshanfang. The horses are jammed!"
Fang Zhengyi took the No. 1 ticket and said unhappily, "When I asked you to buy something, it was either windy or rainy! Why are there so many excuses?"
Zhou Tie touched the back of his head and smiled embarrassedly.
Fang Zhengyi held up the No. 1 ticket and said loudly, "Sorry for the long wait, this is the first prize of the No. 1 ticket that was just drawn today."
Everyone's curious eyes focused on Fang Zheng's hand. Ni Wenchun was a little nervous: "The winning number is not known yet, what makes you say it's the first prize?"
Could it be that this guy really bought it? Impossible, absolutely impossible!
"Don't worry! I have brought the host for the lottery draw. You all should know him since you know the number one prize ticket." Zhou Tie's voice rang out, and then he pulled out the host of Mid-Levels Plaza from behind him.
On the way here, Zhou Tie had already reminded everyone of all the details, and the host naturally knew Fang Zhengyi.
He immediately took the lottery ticket from Fang Zheng, pretended to check it, and said loudly: "Everyone! This lottery ticket is genuine and authentic, and the number on it is correct. It is indeed today's first prize!"
"Wow!"
The crowd was in an uproar and extremely surprised. The people in the front crowded over and the people behind started jumping and looking forward.
Although the prize of two thousand taels is tempting, what is most important to everyone is witnessing the winner of the first prize in person.
This thing is a creature that usually only lives in newspapers! Today, it actually appeared in front of me alive.
It’s still such a magical model, you can buy it whenever you say so.
You have to know that even if the prize is drawn, the first prize will not be awarded every time. Where does Tang Jing get the confidence from?
Ni Wenchun looked miserable.
How... How is it possible! How can you buy this thing by luck?
Thinking of this, Ni Wenchun read the host and asked sternly: "How do you prove it is true!?"
"Yes! How can he buy it just by saying so? In the past, there hasn't been a first prize in more than ten issues. How can he say that he can buy the first prize just by saying so?"
"Can he predict the future? This is fake!"
For a moment, the crowd became excited again. The main buyers of the top-ranking tickets were scholars, and everyone here had bought one to some extent.
After knowing that there was a possibility of fraud, I was naturally extremely angry.
The host raised his hands high: "Everyone, let me explain. This gentleman spent a lot of money to find a group of people to buy all the numbers! All the numbers were matched, so there is naturally a first prize, but this prize money is nothing compared to the cost of buying the first prize ticket."
After these words, everyone who was originally angry suddenly died down and looked at each other in bewilderment.
No wonder, that makes sense, but how much would it cost to buy them all?
But no matter how much it is, it must be a astronomical figure.
For a moment, everyone began to calculate in their minds, and some people even took the initiative to talk to Fang Zhengyi.
Fang Zhengyi naturally accepted everyone who came and looked very relaxed.
Chu Qinghan looked at Fang Zhengyi with a complicated expression. In her eyes, Fang Zhengyi was shrouded in mystery again, but it seemed that he owed more favors...
After everyone's high emotions calmed down, Fang Zhengyi came to Ni Wenchun who was still in a daze, flicked the lottery ticket in his hand, and said with a smile: "Brother Ni, do you want to check it again?"
Ni Wenchun's face turned pale and blue, and finally he lowered his head and gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Fang, you have a good trick. I'll take my leave now!"
Then he turned around and left quickly with a group of people.
After the people left, Fang Zhengyi walked up to Chu Qinghan with the lottery ticket and said softly, "I was a little harsh just now, I'm sorry. This is a birthday present for you, happy birthday."
Chu Qinghan looked up and met his eyes, and somehow, his heart trembled.
She took the lottery ticket involuntarily, blushing and whispering, "Thank you, Mr. Fang."
"It's getting late. I should go home, Zhou Tie! Zhou Tie?"
After calling out twice with no one answering, Fang Zheng looked around for Zhou Tie and suddenly saw him in a corner of the stage.
Only his head showed up, and he was doing something furtively.
Fang Zheng frowned, squeezed through the crowd, and rushed behind Zhou Tie, his whole body shocked.
