Chapter 73: Acting For Show, Displaying Acting Skills!
Jiang Tao and He Jing first met when selling that Longines watch.
The second time was when he went to find Ma Dongmei at the entrance of Hongxing Secondhand Wholesale Market.
Then there was the time when she visited Ma Dongmei before, and Old Lu treated them.
Today is the fourth time the two of them have met, and it can be said that they have a deep connection.
The four pieces of intelligence triggered by the intelligence system were all more or less related to He Jing, or she was involved.
As if sensing Jiang Tao’s gaze, He Jing turned her head and saw him too.
However, her identity today was the host invited by Wanxiang Hui to liven up the atmosphere.
It was already her working hours.
So, she just waved at Jiang Tao symbolically and smiled, nodding at him, as a form of greeting.
Jiang Tao also smiled and waved back at He Jing in response to her greeting.
Then he walked towards a pair of female mall employees in black suits standing behind a temporary service desk near the stage.
“Sir, hello, is there anything I can help you with?”
Upon seeing Jiang Tao, the two service staff greeted him with smiles.
He Jing, who was adjusting equipment on stage, also noticed Jiang Tao’s movements and looked at him with a hint of surprise.
Could Elder Brother Jiang be here to participate in the lucky draw?
As the host of today’s lucky draw, He Jing naturally knew that the lucky draw qualification in this area required a consumption of 100,000 to get one lucky draw opportunity.
In her opinion, it was questionable whether Jiang Tao could earn 100,000 in a year.
He couldn’t possibly spend his entire year’s income here for a lucky draw, could he?
“Hello, this is my proof of consumption, and I can exchange it for lucky draw opportunities here, right?”
Jiang Tao directly handed his proof of consumption from Lao Feng Xiang to the two staff members.
One of them entered the number on his receipt into the computer for a check, and after confirming it was correct, said to Jiang Tao:
“Hello sir, according to our lucky draw rules, you are entitled to 3 Grand Lucky Draw Opportunities and 6 Regular Lucky Draw Opportunities!”
While speaking, another staff member also waved at He Jing on stage and told her that there was a task!
It seemed that Jiang Tao was the first customer of the day at Wanxiang Hui to spend 100,000 and come to the Grand Lucky Draw area for the draw.
After the staff member whispered something to He Jing, He Jing, with a look of surprise on her face, came over to Jiang Tao.
Three Grand Lucky Draw Opportunities, six Regular Lucky Draw Opportunities.
In other words, Elder Brother Jiang spent 360,000 at this mall in one go?
She had misjudged him!
Elder Brother Jiang does have some strength!
“Hello sir, I am He Jing, the host for Wanxiang Hui today.”
“Later, during the lucky draw, can I invite you to interact with me?”
After her surprise, He Jing playfully winked at Jiang Tao and pretended they didn’t know each other.
Her role today was as the host invited by Wanxiang Hui, and Jiang Tao was a customer here.
If the two of them acted overly familiar without restraint, it would be too easy for people to mistake them for plant performers hired by the mall.
“Of course, how do you need me to cooperate?”
Jiang Tao understood what He Jing meant by her gaze and smiled, cooperating with her work.
This kind of experience of putting on a show and acting in front of people also brought a unique kind of fun to ordinary life.
“Thank you for your cooperation! It’s very simple. After you finish your draw later, we’ll go on stage together, and I’ll cooperate with you to scratch the prizes. How about that?”
He Jing, with a sweet smile, briefly explained the interactive segment of the day to Jiang Tao.
This segment, added temporarily today, was solely to liven up the atmosphere and was not mandatory.
Customers could also refuse directly if they really didn’t like it.
“Of course.”
Facing the request from his fellow villager, Jiang Tao naturally found it hard to refuse and nodded, agreeing to cooperate with her work.
“Thank you, sir~ Then I wish you the chance to win our Grand Prize today!”
After successfully inviting her first guest, He Jing smiled and offered her blessings.
“I’ll take your good wishes~”
Hearing He Jing’s blessing, Jiang Tao smiled.
How would He Jing react when she saw him actually win the First Prize later?
After a few pleasantries, He Jing guided Jiang Tao to the adjacent lucky draw area to pick his prizes and quickly returned to her role as host.
“Friends here at the scene, today the first person to spend 100,000 yuan at our Wanxiang Hui is a very charming handsome guy…”
With He Jing’s lively hosting style and her sweet appearance, she added a lot of color to today’s lucky draw event.
The crowd watching on-site was clearly more than double yesterday’s, and the atmosphere was much more enthusiastic than yesterday.
Led by He Jing, Jiang Tao arrived next to the huge glass lucky draw box in the lucky draw area.
Feeling the gaze of hundreds of people around him, Jiang Tao couldn’t help but feel a little nervous.
He had lived for over thirty years and had never experienced being watched by so many people.
Taking a few deep breaths, his gaze fell upon the glass lucky draw box.
Inside the large glass box, prize tickets the size of bank cards were piled up in disarray, numbering at least tens of thousands.
The difficulty of drawing that single Grand Prize ticket from tens of thousands can be imagined.
A one-in-tens-of-thousands chance is something you can’t get without some divine intervention.
Holding his breath and concentrating, Jiang Tao’s vision of the lucky draw box soon changed.
A position to the lower left emitted a dark golden light.
“Found it!”
Seeing the familiar dark golden light, Jiang Tao’s heart rejoiced.
He had successfully locked onto the Grand Prize ticket!
Under the expectant and curious gazes of He Jing and the surrounding onlookers.
Jiang Tao drew three prize tickets from the lucky draw box one after another.
Afterward, led by He Jing, Jiang Tao went to the adjacent regular lucky draw area for a six-draw streak.
After completing his nine draws, Jiang Tao returned to the small stage with He Jing.
At this moment, the atmosphere on the scene was ignited, and everyone was curious about what prizes Jiang Tao would draw with his nine opportunities.
“Now is the moment to witness a miracle, let’s wait and see what prizes this handsome guy will scratch.”
“I have a strong premonition that our handsome guy today might scratch our grand prize!”
Before scratching the prizes, He Jing added another blessing buff to Jiang Tao.
Jiang Tao first started scratching the regular prize tickets.
The game for the prize tickets was simple; one only needed to scratch off the silver-gray coating on top.
Jiang Tao took the small scratcher in the shape of a Golden Finger handed to him by He Jing and scratched the first regular prize ticket.
“This handsome guy is so lucky, he scratched a Fourth Prize with the very first ticket!”
“Congratulations, sir, for winning a 500 yuan shopping card from Wanxiang Hui!”
He Jing took the Fourth Prize ticket Jiang Tao scratched from his hand and showed it to the audience.
Soon, a staff member from the venue came on stage and handed the 500 yuan shopping card to Jiang Tao.
A Fourth Prize did not cause much of a stir.
Jiang Tao then scratched the second ticket, but this time he didn’t win; the prize was a pack of paper tissues.
The third ticket was also “Thank You For Your Patronage,” and he received another pack of paper tissues.
The next four tickets, the fifth, and the sixth, were all “Thank You For Your Patronage,” eliciting sighs of disappointment from the audience.
In fact, winning a 500 yuan shopping card with six regular lucky draw opportunities was considered very good luck.
Among the customers participating in the lucky draw, the vast majority received “Thank You For Your Patronage” or a pack of paper tissues.
Few even won a 100 yuan shopping card.
