Chapter 74: Grand Prize, But For 3 Years Of Usage Rights!
In the expectant gazes of the crowd below.
Jiang Tao used the golden finger-shaped scraper to scratch off the first premium prize ticket.
“Oh, what a pity! Another ‘Thank You For Your Patronage’.”
“But don’t be discouraged, Elder Brother, we still have two more chances.”
“According to the Law of Luck, we’ve missed out 6 times in a row, so maybe the next one will be the Grand Prize!”
“Keep trying, and the Goddess of Fortune will surely favor you.”
He Jing, holding the microphone, livened up the atmosphere with her cheerful and playful words.
Jiang Tao naturally wasn’t discouraged; he deliberately saved the premium prize ticket with the faint glow for last.
With this grand prize ticket as a safety net.
Even if all the previous ones were “Thank You For Your Patronage,” he wouldn’t mind.
The second premium prize ticket also resulted in a “Thank You For Your Patronage.”
With only one prize ticket left in his hand, Jiang Tao wasn’t in a hurry, but He Jing was starting to worry for him.
“This is the last chance, I hope the Goddess of Fortune will favor our Elder Brother this time.”
While He Jing was speaking, Jiang Tao, with an excited heart, began to scratch off the last premium prize ticket.
When he scratched out the first “Grand” character, Jiang Tao knew he had it.
The anxiety in his heart finally subsided!
Seven consecutive scratch-offs yielding nothing made Jiang Tao realize that Heluo Stone could sometimes be powerless against the game rule creators.
Although his Luck Value had increased, it couldn’t overcome the low winning rate.
Compared to this, System Brother was more powerful, ignoring the Law of Luck and winning rates, and directly targeting the Grand Prize.
When the bright “Grand Prize” three characters were revealed.
Jiang Tao pursed his lips, clenched his fist, and his fist tightened, almost making him shout in excitement.
He managed to hold back, but He Jing next to him couldn’t.
“Grand Prize!!!”
“Oh my goodness, friends!! Our Elder Brother has won the Grand Prize from our premium prize ticket area!!!”
“This is too lucky! This Elder Brother’s luck has all been concentrated on this last attempt today!!”
He Jing looked at Jiang Tao with excitement in her eyes, feeling happy for Elder Brother Jiang.
*Rustle~*
Hearing He Jing’s words, the onlookers below erupted into chatter.
The two staff members at the service desk by the stage were also stunned.
No way!
The Grand Prize was only put in today!
And it was already scratched off by someone??
“Grand Prize! He drew the Grand Prize for the premium prize tickets! He won that Mercedes-Benz GLS!”
“Damn, this luck is simply heaven-defying!”
“The Law of Luck truly does not deceive people! Seven consecutive blank tickets, and then he won the grand prize!!”
“This… this is too incredible!”
“I saw him scratch every time, he shouldn’t be a plant hired by the mall. I can only say this buddy’s luck is really good!”
The crowd below discussed animatedly, their gazes towards Jiang Tao filled with nothing but envy!
After recovering from their shock, the two staff members quickly called the manager in charge of this lucky draw event.
Such a major event, with the biggest prize of the activity being claimed, definitely needed to be reported to the manager immediately!
After a phone call with the manager, the two staff members went up to the stage and whispered a few words to Jiang Tao and He Jing.
Then, one staff member led Jiang Tao to a special elevator for staff use nearby.
The two took the elevator upstairs together.
Most areas of Wanxiang Hui are 7 floors.
Only a small area of about 1000 square meters is on the 8th floor.
This is also the administrative office area of the Wanxiang Hui mall.
The staff on-site had no authority to handle the Grand Prize ticket Jiang Tao had just scratched.
He needed to go upstairs to the office to sign several contracts with the highest person in charge of this event.
*Ding!*
The elevator doors opened on the 8th floor.
“Mr. Jiang, please come with me.”
The staff member leading Jiang Tao upstairs gestured for him to follow and then turned to lead the way.
The two walked one after another, crossing more than half of the work area.
Finally, they stopped outside a door labeled “General Manager’s Office, Planning Department.”
The staff member reached out and gently knocked on the room door.
Hearing a woman’s voice from inside, they then gently pushed open the door and led Jiang Tao into the room.
“Huh…”
Du Ennan couldn’t help but feel a sense of familiarity upon seeing Jiang Tao brought in by the employee.
She felt like she had seen him somewhere before.
But she just couldn’t recall where, like trying to remember a word on the tip of her tongue.
When Jiang Tao saw the woman sitting behind the desk, he also had a sense of déjà vu.
He felt like he had seen this manager somewhere before.
“General Manager Du, I’ve brought up Mr. Jiang, the winner.”
The female employee’s report to Du Ennan broke the silence in the room.
“Okay, you can go now, your work here is done.”
Du Ennan nodded in response, and the female employee, without further ado, turned and left.
After the female employee left, only Jiang Tao and Du Ennan were left in the office.
Their eyes met, and both seemed to be trying hard to recall where they had seen each other.
“Oh! So it’s you!”
“Ah! It’s you!”
As if telepathically connected, Jiang Tao and Du Ennan both remembered each other at the same time!
Du Ennan, with a look of pleasant surprise, stood up from her seat to show respect to Jiang Tao.
In reality, the two had only met once a few days ago and weren’t really acquainted.
A few days prior, Jiang Tao had given up his seat to Du Ennan on the subway Line 10, and that was all.
Du Ennan had a slender upper body and a small face.
Sitting behind the desk, Jiang Tao hadn’t realized she was the pregnant woman he had offered his seat to before.
Only when she stood up did Jiang Tao notice her noticeably rounded belly.
“I never expected to meet again here, in this way.”
“Hello, Mr. Jiang. Let me reintroduce myself. My name is Du Ennan, and I am the General Manager of Wanxiang Hui’s Planning Department.”
Du Ennan smiled and stepped out from behind her desk, extending her hand to shake Jiang Tao’s.
What she didn’t tell Jiang Tao was that she was also the daughter of the owner of Wanxiang Hui and the future successor.
“Hello, General Manager Du. My name is Jiang Tao. Jiang, like Jiang Taigong, and Tao, like raging waves.”
Jiang Tao also smiled and shook Du Ennan’s hand, releasing it gently. He acted with composure, earning considerable favor from Du Ennan.
After introductions, Du Ennan first congratulated Jiang Tao on his good luck and then began to discuss the Grand Prize of this event, the Mercedes-Benz GLS.
“It’s like this, Mr. Jiang. According to a provision in the country’s Anti-Unfair Competition Law.”
“For any prize-winning sales promotions involving lucky draws, the value of the highest prize cannot exceed fifty thousand yuan.”
“Therefore, this Grand Prize is the usage rights for a Mercedes-Benz GLS, for a period of 3 years.”
“Wait…”
Jiang Tao looked at Du Ennan, somewhat taken aback:
“You mean, what I won was actually the 3-year usage rights for a Mercedes-Benz GLS?”
“Yes, Mr. Jiang. The value of the 3-year usage rights for a Mercedes-Benz GLS is certainly far more than 50,000 yuan.”
“You should be able to feel our sincerity from this usage period.”
“This is the best effort we could make within the rules permitted by law.”
“This car is already registered under Wanxiang Hui’s name and has license plates.”
“You just need to sign a few usage agreements and you can drive it away.”
“Then, you’ll need to report to us for inspection of any vehicle damage every June and December.”
“After the 3-year usage period ends, if you are still satisfied with the car, you will have the priority to purchase it at the market price at that time.”
“If you wish to give up the usage rights now, we can compensate you with 50,000 yuan in cash according to the rules.”
