Chapter 737 — Winning the Grand Prize
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
The emcee was briefly taken aback as well, but since Manager Wang had announced it himself, he naturally said nothing more and offered his happy congratulations: "Congratulations to you! You've given us all a good omen by winning the first grand prize! We've already had first and second prizes today, but the grand prize hadn't appeared yet — and who would have thought the winner would be you!"
Mother Tang was a little at a loss, but deep down she had no wish to call it out. Think of how much money this had just saved her! So though bewildered, she nodded along: "I never imagined it — I could actually win? I'm so lucky!"
"Haha, Ms. Wang, here is your claim ticket. Keep it safe. In a little while, just go and complete the renovation paperwork — tell our renovation company what you have in mind, and the work can begin!" the emcee said with a smile.
"All right, all right!" Mother Tang took the claim ticket happily.
Manager Wang then accompanied Mother Tang to collect her prize, and no one found it odd — after all, the earlier first- and second-prize winners had also been personally escorted through the process by Manager Wang.
Of course, the first- and second-prize winners were genuine. This grand prize, however, was fake!
But since there was no limit on the number of grand prizes, no one would suspect the sales office of rigging anything! And even if they had rigged it, so what? There was still a chance to win the grand prize.
Tang Zhi, watching from the audience, was taken aback herself. Her mother had won the grand prize? Real or fake? She studied her mother's expression, and doubt crept in. Others might not know her mother, but she certainly did. Was that the face of a prize winner? It was unmistakably the face of someone who had lost!
Of course, some people, upon winning a prize, could be so overjoyed they simply sat there dumbstruck. But Tang Zhi knew her mother would never be one of them. She recalled how her face had beamed with delight yesterday when she received three million, and Tang Zhi was certain — her mother had not won a thing!
So this grand prize... Tang Zhi couldn't help but glance toward Fatty Lai, only to find him sitting there as though he knew nothing at all, deep in conversation with Wei Zhao about the pharmaceutical company. Tang Zhi sighed inwardly. Poor Wei Zhao, going to all this trouble to help her family, all just so she wouldn't feel embarrassed...
She was truly useless. If only she were like Gu Mengyao and the rest, Wei Zhao would never have had to go to such lengths... By that logic, Wei Zhao and the young lady were quite a well-matched pair after all. Perhaps her own appearance was nothing but a mistake...
But this mistake had already happened. Tang Zhi felt she had sunk in too deep to pull herself free. She didn't want to leave Wei Zhao, but what was she supposed to do?
While Tang Zhi was still lost in thought, her mother had already returned. This time she was beaming from ear to ear: "Yun'er, your old mom won too — the grand prize!"
Fatty Lai gave Manager Wang an approving nod. It seemed this Manager Wang did have a keen eye for such matters.
Manager Wang caught Fatty Lai's approving gaze and immediately broke into a wide grin. It appeared he hadn't blundered after all!
As for the renovation, Mother Tang had no particular demands. She knew nothing about such matters to begin with — their house had no interior decoration whatsoever — so she could hardly offer any suggestions either. She simply entrusted Manager Wang with full authority, asking only that the style be somewhat modern.
