The Passerby I Married Is The Richest Man! [Transmigration Into A Book]

Chapter 14 Part 2: Pulling Strings at the Shopping Mall

"Lottery?"

"En. Today for the shopping mall's inauguration, there will be three rounds of lottery. As far as I know, after the opening performance, the organizers will invite a few big shots to come to the stage to give a speech, Leng Hao Chen is one of them. Then comes the ribbon cutting, and after it, the first round of lottery. What's more, it will be Leng Hao Chen personally awarding the prize."

Huo Xiang asked again: "Dou you know what's the prize for the first round of the drawing"

Bai Zhen Zhen asked without thinking: "What is it?"

"The presidential suite!" Huo Xiang answered excitedly, "Hotel Xiangju's presidential suite --- rights to a full month of use free of charge! The hotel is right next to the mall, in a prime location in the center of the city, with the opportunity to experience luxurious services! We will soon have a little love nest!"

Bai Zhen Zhen held her forehead: "What kind of pipe dream is this?! You think you can so easily draw the prize just because you wish so ah?!"

After a pause, she felt there was something wrong, and asked in a stern voice: "What 'love nest'?!"

Huo Xiang pouted feeling extremely wronged: "Aren't I trying hard to enter the role...?"

Bai Zhen Zhen was unable to refute. She had no better option but to continue with her first question: "I think there should be no less than 800 or 1000 people coming here today. Since you can get lottery tickets with the membership card, how can you guarantee that I'll draw the prize ah? If we can't draw it, leave aside your shattered pipe dreams, we won't see President Leng either."

"Believe me, you can!" Huo Xiang smiled sincerely.

Bai Zhen Zhen suddenly understood his meaning, she raised an eyebrow and asked: "Is it possible that... you know some staff from the shopping mall, and intend to do some small manipulation on the results?"

"En?" Huo Xiang was puzzled.

"As they say, 'in cahoots' ah! A feigned passerby draws the prize, then he takes a commission from the organizer, but they won't really take the prize!"

Huo Xiang's expression was like everything became clear at once: "That's right, you being able to guess it, so awesome ah!"

Bai Zhen Zhen gave him a thumbs-up: "This plan with such connections, Xiang ge is awesome!"

Huo Xiang: "...changing how you call me again?!"

"The next one---" the staff at the service started to remind.

Bai Zhen Zhen discovered that, without noticing, they already were at the beginning of the line. She handed out her ID card without delay, and the staff gave her a form to fill.

Huo Xiang silently looked at Bai Zhen Zhen who was seriously filling the form, and couldn't help raising the corner of his lips.

---System: "Actually, I also have a question, why are you so sure that she will get the prize?"

---Huo Xiang: "Oh please, this is a book, how can the heroine not have a halo?!"

---System: "Xiang ge is awesome!"

---Huo Xiang: "... Get lost!"

Back at the center of the plaza again, the two people added to the crowd of onlookers. Huo Xiang grabbed Bai Zhen Zhen's hand and pulled her to the front row.

Bai Zhen Zhen took a closer look, it was worthy of being the inauguration of a large shopping mall at the center of the city. The guest seats at the front were all public figures. Just looking at their clothes and the noble temperament emanating from their every move, one could know at once that they were no ordinary guests.

Leng Hao Chen was also there. Coincidentally, the suit he was wearing today was also dark green.

Bai Zhen Zhen was reminded of what her dad had said in the morning --- if you want to live a good life, you need to wear something green on yourself ah!

"Your arrangements are so good ah..." Bai Zhen Zhen was still reflecting on Huo Xiang's plan. "The prize given out by Leng Hao Chen is the presidential suite, when the moment comes, I'll pull you to the stage with me, and graciously take it while showing our deep affection. He won't be able to act hostile in front of so many people, right? We can then take a photo together, just in case he dares harass me in the future, I can take the photo to the media and expose it, saying he's trying to destroy our feelings..."

Huo Xiang also gave her a thumbs up: "Zhen jie is awesome!"
