Chapter 123: Earthquake in the Celestial Capital
"..." Where does this guy's confidence come from?
Luo Bing was dumbfounded, always feeling that Xiao Tianyu was very mysterious, but could not pinpoint exactly where.
Even Han Li was slightly surprised, are you sure you can make these rich second-generation kids lose everything?
Are you sure you're not just setting yourself up for humiliation, sticking your neck out?
Damn it, I have a hunch that this guy's running a fever, and it's not a mild one.
...
Celestial Colors duty room.
After receiving a call from Gao Shaoyang, the duty staff panicked and immediately dialed the manager's number: "Manager, something big is about to happen!"
As soon as these words were spoken, it seemed like the sky was about to fall, causing the manager on the other end to shiver and climb out of bed: "An earthquake?"
In recent years, earthquakes have occurred all over the globe. If it's an earthquake, damn, I'm on the ninety-ninth floor, wouldn't I be toast?
Thinking of this, the manager quickly dressed.
"Manager, it's not an earthquake!"
"What, not an earthquake?" the manager shouted, "If it's not an earthquake, why did you say something big is happening? I have a bad heart, if you scare me into a heart attack, let's see how you'll handle it!"
Damn it, if it's not an earthquake, why are you calling me in the middle of the night? Are you tired of working here?
"Manager, although it's not an earthquake, I think it's more serious than an earthquake!" Just as the manager finished, the voice on the other end came through again, causing the manager to shiver once more. The body, which was prepared to go back to sleep, jolted upright: "A tsunami happened?"
"..." The woman on duty was speechless upon hearing this. Does the manager need to be so ridiculous? Besides, sorting out a tsunami and an earthquake, your guesswork might be more serious than both.
So, the woman on duty didn't waste any more words and directly said: "Gao Shaoyang is going to visit the lottery hall, and he orders all staff to be on standby within ten minutes, saying he'll be there to buy lottery tickets!"
"What did you say?" The manager looked terrified. When did the Celestial Universe staff start dreaming about getting rich by buying lottery tickets?
So the manager doubted, "Is someone impersonating Gao Shaoyang, deliberately playing a prank?"
"I don't know about that!" the duty staff responded.
"Whether it's true or false, we have to take it seriously. If it's real, it could be a big deal; otherwise, if someone demolishes the lottery hall, we would have to applaud and say 'well done...well done indeed!'" With that, the manager quickly got dressed, and fortunately, many staff were not far from the lottery hall, so the manager made calls to each one.
No kidding, that's Gao Shaoyang. Even if someone is playing a prank, it has to be taken seriously. What if it's real?
Ten minutes later.
Several employees arrived at the lottery hall, yawning, all showing a displeased expression. Being called to the lottery hall in the middle of the night, it would be strange if they were happy.
However, regardless of the displeasure, so what? As long as you're eating from someone's bowl, you have to listen to their commands. Soon, several employees were in their positions, just waiting for one person to arrive.
Sure enough, five minutes later, a luxury sports car stopped at the hall's entrance, and not only that, but there were also dozens of large container trucks behind it. Needless to say, these container trucks were all filled with cash, amounting to several tens of billions.
Since there was a limit on card usage, it wasn't possible to swipe several tens of billions in one go. Helplessly, Gao Shaoyang had to transfer this much cash from the financial vault, and fortunately, the cash just arrived at the Celestial Universe Headquarters today and hadn't been unloaded yet. Otherwise, just transporting this cash would probably take hours.
After parking the sports car, Gao Shaoyang, carrying a briefcase, walked towards the lottery hall. Upon arrival, the manager welcomed him with a sycophantic face: "Mr. Gao, since when did you start liking to buy..."
"Less nonsense, my time is limited, quickly, give me a Celestial Colors Full Meal!"
Celestial Colors Full Meal?
Upon hearing this, the manager was confused, so he chuckled and asked: "Mr. Gao, what is a Celestial Colors Full Meal!"
"Have you been living under a rock? You don't know a Celestial Colors Full Meal?" Gao Shaoyang gave the manager a disdainful look, thinking he was truly ignorant, and continued: "It's the kind that guarantees winning the first prize, got it now?"
Kaboom~
Upon hearing this, the manager immediately plopped onto the ground, completely baffled, a guaranteed first prize?
Mr. Gao, I just want to ask, when ordinary people buy lotteries, it's like dreaming of getting rich overnight, but you're dreaming of losing money? Do you even know how much that Celestial Colors Full Meal costs?
The other staff members, upon hearing this, also looked dumbfounded at Gao Shaoyang. Damn it, the world of rich people is truly not something we can fathom. Just mentioning a Celestial Colors Full Meal, the cost must be astronomical, right?
"What are you standing there for, hurry up, you're wasting my time, do you want me to dismantle your lottery hall?" Gao Shaoyang said with a chilly voice, exuding an undeniable authority.
The manager shivered: "Yes, yes, yes, now...now we'll draw, once the number is out, we'll directly print it for Mr. Gao, and half an hour later, we'll go live directly. Mr. Gao, is this okay?"
"It better be this way!" Gao Shaoyang snorted coldly. There was no choice; the chairman wanted to flirt, so he had to work like a dog.
Five minutes later, the lottery manager held the lottery ticket with both hands and personally handed it to Gao Shaoyang: "Mr. Gao, this is the winning number, please keep it safe!"
"Are you sure?" Gao Shaoyang reminded once, because if there was a mistake, he couldn't bear the responsibility, so it's better to double-check.
The manager nodded repeatedly: "Confirmed, confirmed, and in half an hour, it will be live!"
"Alright then!" Gao Shaoyang took the lottery ticket and directly walked out of the hall, saying upon leaving: "By the way, the money is outside, see to it yourselves, I won't disturb further!"
"Still offering money?" The manager was quite surprised, and Gao Shaoyang snorted: "Nonsense, do you think Celestial Universe Group is a bandit?"
As his words fell, just outside in the open space, a helicopter descended, and Gao Shaoyang boarded and left.
To reach the Celestial Universe Hotel in ten minutes, only a helicopter could make it in time.
Ten minutes later, Celestial Universe Hotel.
A helicopter landed out of nowhere at the entrance of the Celestial Universe Hotel. Gao Shaoyang got off the helicopter and strode towards the hotel.
Gao Shaoyang's arrival naturally startled Celestial Universe Hotel's manager, Mo Wenshan.
Mo Wenshan immediately came to the door to greet: "Mr. Gao, why are you arriving so late, what is the purpose?"
"Deliver this envelope to the chairman within two minutes, and make sure to deliver it into his hands personally. Go!" Gao Shaoyang handed the envelope to Mo Wenshan, who nodded continuously, took the lottery ticket, and left.
As for Gao Shaoyang, he had no intention of going inside, he directly boarded the helicopter and left.
After all, if he personally delivered the lottery ticket to Xiao Tianyu, wouldn't Xiao Tianyu's identity be exposed? Moreover, Gao Shaoyang is the second in command of Celestial Universe; who else could he make a personal delivery to other than the one from Celestial Universe International?
Therefore, Gao Shaoyang didn't plan to go inside, secretly thinking, the chairman likes to keep up appearances, how could he possibly spoil it?
Actually, it wasn't that Xiao Tianyu liked to keep up appearances, he just wanted a few days of quiet life. Unfortunately, some people didn't understand and constantly targeted him, so he didn't mind playing the underdog to ruthlessly mess with those who thought too much of themselves.
