Chapter 724: Chapter 550: Why Is There Such a Huge Gap in Luck Between People? (Part 3)

As for the grand prize, 8,888 yuan, it undoubtedly symbolizes "wealth and prosperity," with hopes that the winner will enjoy endless fortune.

"Heavenly spirits, earthly spirits, Master Laojun, please show your power and let me win the 8,888 prize!"

After Xie Jianing participated in the raffle, she muttered expectantly while uncovering the corner of her ticket: "Even if 8,888 is out of reach, I’d be satisfied with 6,666. At worst, 1,588 would be a nice consolation... Oh, how did it end up being 666 yuan..."

The number on the ticket was like a splash of cold water, instantly freezing all her hopes and sinking her mood deep down.

At this moment, Jiang Xinzhuo spoke up: "Jianing, don’t be so down; your number is lucky compared to my 168!"

Indeed, by comparison, seeing others less lucky than oneself inevitably brings some comfort.

The mood also lifted as a result.

Xie Jianing noticed that Huang Jun had not yet joined the raffle, so she urged him: "Qingqing’s dad, it’s your turn! Go test your luck!"

"Alright!"

Huang Jun nodded with a smile.

"Dad, I want to draw a prize too! I want to win a big prize!" Weiwei exclaimed with excitement.

Qingqing raised her little face and silently watched Huang Jun. Though she said nothing, her bright eyes sparkled with endless desire and longing for the raffle.

Seeing this scene, Huang Jun couldn’t help but feel a bit troubled.

After all, the raffle opportunity was a one-time event, and if he wanted both Qingqing and Weiwei to experience the fun, he faced a tricky choice or needed to find a solution that pleased both.

Fortunately, Liang Yinqiu noticed his predicament and generously suggested that Qingqing and Weiwei could share in the raffle opportunity, meaning their family of three would have two chances to draw the grand prize.

There was no objection from those around, and everyone agreed with understanding.

Thus, Huang Jun happily took Qingqing and Weiwei’s small hands and headed to the raffle area.

First, he gently lifted Qingqing, letting her small hand reach into the raffle box to carefully draw out a ticket.

After Qingqing happily held tight to her ticket, Huang Jun gently placed her on the ground, then turned and picked up Weiwei, letting her experience the moment of surprise from the raffle box as well.

"Dad, come and see! What’s our prize level..."

Qingqing and Weiwei held their tickets tightly, handing them to Huang Jun with eager anticipation.

Xie Jianing and her group were more anxious than Huang Jun; they quickly gathered around, eyes fixed on the tickets, then erupted in joyful cheers: "Wow! Qingqing’s luck is incredible; she drew the 6,666 prize!"

Though not the top prize, the honor of second place was envy-inducing.

All the guests turned their envious gaze upon hearing.

Yet, the truly shocking part came next...

As Huang Jun slowly revealed Weiwei’s ticket, a dazzling row of numbers appeared—8,888 yuan, the winning prize was listed.

Xie Jianing exclaimed, unable to believe muttering to herself: "Oh my... can’t be...it’s the top prize... How has Lady Luck favored Qingqing’s dad entirely..."

"Yes, indeed! Chef Huang, your family’s luck is astounding, just overflowing!"

Everyone genuinely admired, secretly puzzled by the stark contrast in luck between people.

"Actually, it’s mainly my Qingqing and Weiwei’s good luck!"

Huang Jun was full of surprise, never expecting the two little ones to win first and second prizes.

They are truly his little lucky stars!

Upon hearing their father’s praise, Qingqing and Weiwei instinctively puffed out their little chests, eyes gleaming with pride and joy.

"I haven’t drawn yet, let me get some of Qingqing and Weiwei’s stellar luck."

Seeing Qingqing and Weiwei’s continuous good fortune, Chu Qiweng approached, first gently stroking their little heads, then touching their little hands before turning to the raffle area.

"Dad, Aunt Chu messed up my hairstyle. It’s not pretty anymore!"

The little ones were somewhat double-standard; they not only didn’t mind their father messing with their hair, but would actively lean in, whereas with others, a few extra touches had them whining to dad.

Actually, they didn’t dislike others’ closeness; they just wanted dad to coax them.

Attention-seeking!

"It’s fine, my Qingqing and Weiwei are so pretty; even with messy hair, they’re still beautiful, and dad will fix it right away."

Huang Jun then carefully adjusted their hairstyles, instantly bringing back their smiles.

Meanwhile, busy drawing, Chu Qiweng suddenly squealed with excitement: "Wow! I got third prize, 1,588, smooth prosperity! Qingqing, Weiwei, you truly are my little stars!"

Chu Qiweng, overjoyed, ran down and hugged Qingqing and Weiwei, causing them to show exasperated little expressions.

"Oh my, can it work out like this? If I had known, I wouldn’t have rushed to draw; I should’ve first borrowed some of Qingqing and Weiwei’s luck, maybe then I’d have gotten third prize too!" Xie Jianing said with some regret.

Seeing everyone wanting to come up and borrow some luck, Huang Jun quickly reassured: "The top three haven’t been unveiled yet, and only a few people haven’t drawn; it’s only natural that we and Accountant Chu won."

The crowd considered this reasonable, and with the top three prizes already taken, eventually abandoned the idea of chasing luck.

Chu Qiweng happily, meanwhile, didn’t forget her little lucky stars, Qingqing and Weiwei, intending to give them a share of her prize.

But Huang Jun graciously declined: "Really, there’s no need. Qingqing and Weiwei already won second and first prizes."

"Yes, Aunt Chu, our prize money is more than yours! Keep it for yourself; we don’t need it~" Qingqing and Weiwei quickly waved their hands in refusal.

Seeing this, Chu Qiweng had no choice but to relent, secretly planning to prepare toys for Qingqing and Weiwei later as a token of thanks.

Not long after, the raffle event came to a successful conclusion.

Liang Yinqiu seized the opportunity to provide a concise summary of the semester’s work and express hopeful anticipation for the upcoming semester, perfectly concluding the banquet.

Frankly speaking, Liang Yinqiu was particularly delighted tonight.

Through diligent work this semester, Dorami Kindergarten not only garnered notable acclaim but also welcomed the joyful news of class expansion and even accumulated a degree of reputation online.

These achievements certainly laid a solid foundation for the kindergarten’s future development and paved a promising path for future branch openings.
