Gao Dongjie rubbed his eyes desperately. He must have seen it wrong!
He refreshed the webpage on his phone again, and it was still the same string of numbers, which had nothing to do with the lottery numbers he bought. He didn't even win the fourth prize.
"Impossible... How could this happen? I clearly had a precognitive dream!" His eyes were bloodshot, as if he saw a mountain of gold flying away from him.
Without the lottery jackpot, how would he start a business? He knew so many industries that would make money in the future, but without enough money, he couldn't get a piece of the pie.
Seeing her son's red eyes and frantic expression, he seemed unwilling to accept the truth. Cui Xizhen quickly said, "Ajie, the probability of winning the jackpot is so low. If you don't win, then you don't win. It's not a big deal."
Gao Dongjie looked at his mother's stupid expression and shouted, "You don't know anything at all. I clearly dreamed about it. I dreamed about the numbers for several periods."
"The lottery staff must have changed the numbers. They don't want me to win the jackpot."
The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Gao Dongjie had been determined to win the jackpot these past few days, and now that he suddenly lost it, he couldn't accept it even more.
Cui Xizhen couldn't help but take a few steps back at her son's frantic behavior. She didn't believe his prophetic dreams, but at this point, she could only go along with him and comfort him. "Even if they changed the number, we have no evidence. For ordinary people like us, what else can we do when we encounter something like this? We're unlucky. Your aunt won't stand up for us."
"You see, without your aunt's protection, anyone in our family could take advantage of us. You should come with me to your aunt's place tomorrow." Shortly after her sister announced she was severing ties with them, Cui Xizhen couldn't stand the current situation any longer. She hadn't expected her sister to be so cold and unsympathetic. She regretted it now. She should have tried to coax her sister more, at least until her son became a senior executive. Now, they were getting nothing.
Gao Dongjie still didn't give up. "Maybe I'll win next time, or the one after that. Give me some more time!"
He would never give up so easily.
Since he showed strong resistance, Cui Xizhen naturally couldn't force him to go, so she could only reluctantly agree to give her son some more time.
…
Gao Dongjie was not the only heartbroken person, Mr. Tan was also heartbroken at this time.
Mr. Tan originally thought that since Stephen had hinted at it, the contract was a sure thing. Just as he was about to ask Stephen about the contract, he received news—Mr. Stephen had already signed a five-year contract with Cui Xixia. Furthermore, after five years, Cui Xixia would be their preferred candidate.
When he heard the news, he threw his beloved teacup and said, "This is impossible!"
Mr. Stephen had a very bad impression of Cui Xixia because he was implicated and hospitalized. How could he choose Cui Xixia?
He couldn't help but call Mr. Stephen, "Mr. Stephen, I heard that you are planning to cooperate with Anxia Group..."
Yes, Anxia Group has demonstrated strength and sincerity that we cannot refuse. Our board of directors unanimously approved the cooperation with her.
Mr. Tan couldn't help but ask, "Wouldn't you give it some more thought?"
【I already know what you did.】
Mr. Tan was about to say something, but Stephen had already hung up. When he called again, he found that he had been blocked.
He was devastated. What on earth had Cui Xixia done to make Mr. Stephen change his mind? He thought that even if Stephen knew the truth, given his personality, he would vent his anger on them and block them both.
But Cui Xixia was chosen... This was even more painful than being rejected.
Could it be that Shi Miao helped her?
This speculation frightened him as soon as it came to him. He had previously heard that the master of metaphysics who had helped Gao Dongjie to tell Cui Xixia's fortune had aged many years overnight - it must have been Shi Miao himself who did it.
With Cui Xixia around, it was impossible for him to please Shi Miao. Especially since they were both women, Shi Miao would naturally be more inclined towards Cui Xixia. He didn't even think about giving Shi Miao gifts to please her. With Cui Xixia around, he would never be able to succeed.
In the past, in their shopping malls, it was mostly men who talked. It was nothing like now, where there are more and more unruly women.
The more Mr. Tan thought about it, the angrier he got. He knew in his heart that these women were relying on Shi Miao. Now, the entire Xuan Sect was following Shi Miao's lead, and even Buddhism was bowing to him.
Sometimes, even if Miao is around, they still have to endure this grievance.
It would be great if someone could surpass Shi Miao.
Mr. Tan misses the old customs very much, and feels that the world is becoming corrupt and people’s hearts are no longer as they used to be.
Why did Ji Jingyao have to be so obsessed with Shi Miao? If he was willing to compete with Shi Miao, with his talent, he might even be able to surpass her. But he was completely devoted to Shi Miao, and no matter how charming other women were, they would not catch his eye. He admitted that Shi Miao was indeed beautiful, and her extraordinary aura, as if she was about to ascend to heaven at any moment, easily aroused a man's deep sense of conquest.
But no matter how beautiful it is, what’s the point if you can only look at it but not eat it?
Mr. Tan couldn't help but feel a little restless, wondering if he could ask his men to search for more beauties, as maybe one of them would just suit Ji Jingyao's taste.
…
Anxia Group won a large order and the news quickly spread throughout the industry.
Cui Xixia, in a good mood, discussed with the shareholders and decided that the company's employees would receive an extra half month's salary as a bonus this month.
Everyone got a bonus for free, so naturally everyone in the company was in high spirits.
Although Shi Miao is an intern, he can also get it.
