Chapter 784: Buying car
Dong Xuebing got busier the next few days.
He attended lessons at the Party School, sent out wedding invitations, and watched every match of the European Cup.
Tonight.
Party School Dormitory.
It’s the final match of Dong Xuebing’s lottery bet.
Roommate Han Xinghua is a football fan. He had not slept these few days and watched all the live-telecast matches with Dong Xuebing.
“Eh…. He passed that player….”
“He reached the penalty area. He has a good chance of scoring now.”
“He passed another defender! Goal! Goal!”
“Fantastic! What a wonderful goal!”
“This player is retiring, but look at his speed….”
“2:0. This is an upset again. Who would have expected the weaker team to be so good?”
The match ended fifteen minutes later, and the final score was 2:1.
After switching off the laptop, Han Xinghua and Dong Xuebing went to their beds. Han Xinghua fell asleep quickly, but it was hard for Dong Xuebing to sleep. His thirty bets on the 24 matches had won. The results were the same as in the newspaper, and he had won the jackpot. The grand prize amount is not finalized, but it will not be too low. Anyway, Dong Xuebing has enough for his wedding now.
Dong Xuebing is too excited.
Dong Xuebing couldn’t sleep and checked the results against his betting slips. 3:2, 2:0, 3:3, 2:2, etc….
Yes. All the scores are correct.
Next day.
Dong Xuebing got up early to check the prize amount as the website was not updated last night.
Only a few people had won the jackpot due to the upsets. Most of the winning bets are single bets and cannot be compared to Dong Xuebing’s thirty bets. He checked the prize money, and it was more than 120 million RMB!
After taxes, Dong Xuebing can get around 100 million RMB of winnings.
Dong Xuebing finally has money again, and he can’t stop smiling.
Dong Xuebing immediately applied for leave from his class and left the Party School to collect his winnings. He called Xie Huilan to share the news.
“Hello, Huilan. We won!”
“Huh? What did we win?”
“The sports lottery.”
“Really? How much did we win?”
“The grand jackpot prize! I had placed thirty bets, and we won 100 million RMB after taxes.”
“Haha…. Are you serious? Are you joking with me?”
“Ah…. When have I lied to you? We won, and I am going to claim my winnings now. You will see the money later. Haha…. We don’t need to worry about money for our wedding.”
“If the prize is 100 million, we don’t need to worry for the rest of our lives.”
“That’s right. We are rich again! Sigh…. The past few days had been torturing. I can’t even bear to buy a packet of 10 RMB cigarettes.” Dong Xuebing loves to be praised. “Don’t you think your husband is capable?”
“Not bad. Haha….”
“Oh, let’s take a break from our wedding preparations and go to the 4S shops tonight.”
“Why? Are you going to buy a car?”
Dong Xuebing replied. “I had wanted to buy after I sold my damaged Cayenne. I have to take a taxi when I go out now. It’s so inconvenient. You can help me choose my car. Should I get a Mercedes or BMW?”
“Can’t you get an ordinary car?”
“I am used to driving good cars. Anyway, we have gotten our money legally, and we are not afraid of others checking our finances. What’s wrong with buying whatever I like with my money? Let others say whatever they want. Furthermore, I had been driving such cars for two years.”
“Anyway, it’s your car, and you can buy whatever you want.”
“But you must accompany me there tonight. I am going to claim my winnings. See you tonight.”
“Xiao Ran and Xiao Jing want to discuss their work issues with me, and I don’t know when I am free. You can go ahead first, or I can bring them along.”
“No problem.” Dong Xuebing thought for a second and asked. “Do your younger brother and sister have their cars?”
Xie Huilan laughed. “What are you up to again?”
“I am just asking.”
“Xiao Ran doesn’t own a car. He is on the Youth Committee and can’t use his workplace cars. He has to take the subway to work. Xiao Jing can drive Xin Hua News Agency’s cars, but she can’t use them on weekends.”
“That means they don’t have cars. Alright. I know.”
“Are you going to buy cars for my brother and sister?”
Dong Xuebing nodded and flagged a taxi by the roadside. “We have been dating for almost two years, and we are getting married. As the eldest brother-in-law, how can I not buy something for them?”
“No need. Our family doesn’t follow these customs.”
“It’s not about your family cares about these customs. I must do my part. You should know that I am younger than your younger brother and sister, and they have to address me as their Brother-in-law (Older) in the future. I must act like one. Anyway, cars are not expensive.”
“Alright. I agree with you on this matter.”
“Oh, you also agree with me?”
“Xiao Ran and Xiao Jing’s parents had wanted to buy cars for them. Many of our family members are working for the government. We can afford a few cars, but we can’t afford the better ones. Since you are willing to pay, why would I disagree?”
“Great. That’s settled.”
“Ok.”
“Oh, I suddenly remember that you don’t have a car too.”
“Haha…. I can use my workplace’s car, and I can use it whenever I want.”
“No… that’s not right. I will get one for you tonight. You can pick Porsche, BMW, or whichever you want. We have money.”
“Don’t need. It will attract too much attention.”
“I will still buy one for you. You can park it at home if you don’t want to drive it.”
“Let’s talk about this tonight.”
“Alright. Don’t let Xiao Jing and Xiao Ran know about this. It’s a surprise.”
