Looking at the lottery box in front of him, Zhongli was a little confused. He subconsciously put a hand in, fumbled for a while, and took out a small ball numbered fifteen.
"Congratulations to this lady, you have won our store's grand prize, a diamond ring worth 800,000 yuan. Now please ask this lady to come with me to choose the ring you like."
Bang bang bang!
In the store, fireworks were everywhere, and everyone applauded Zhongli to congratulate him.
Happiness came so suddenly that Zhongli was stunned on the spot.
She didn't know that Gu Junlin had arranged all this in advance. No matter which number Zhongli touched, she would get the special prize.
"Brother-in-law, is this true? Did I really win the lottery?" Zhong Li turned around and looked at Gu Junlin with a puzzled expression, as if he was dreaming.
Gu Junlin smiled slightly: "It should be true. You and the staff will find out if you go over there and ask."
The words woke up the dreamer, and Zhongli immediately shouted to choose a ring.
Zhong Huixue showed a thoughtful expression.
She has been in the workplace for a long time and knows that there are such coincidences in the world. Thinking of Gu Junlin's mysterious smile last night, Zhong Huixue seemed to have guessed something.
"Did you arrange it?" Zhong Huixue asked directly after Zhong Li left.
Gu Junlin didn't deny it and admitted it directly.
"Yes, didn't I promise you last night that I would buy a ring for Zhongli?"
"Ha" Zhong Huixue suddenly showed a half-smiling expression and turned her head to one side.
Gu Junlin was shocked and immediately began to reflect on what went wrong with him.
He knew Zhong Huixue very well. If Zhong Huixue showed this expression, she must be unhappy somewhere in her heart.
After much deliberation, Gu Junlin finally found the root cause of the disease.
I never gave Zhong Huixue such an expensive gift when I got married, so Zhong Huixue was annoyed.
Feelings of guilt arise spontaneously.
"Wait a moment."
After glancing towards Zhongli, Gu Junlin quickly walked to the bar and asked the staff inside:
"Do you have any other diamond rings? I also want to buy a diamond ring."
Ah! The staff immediately showed a surprised expression and quickly glanced at Zhou Yan, who was standing aside pretending to be a customer.
Zhou Yan nodded without thinking.
He has been treating illnesses and saving people all his life, and has accumulated a lot of wealth. Buying one or two diamond rings is not a problem at all.
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment." The smile on the staff's face suddenly became enthusiastic, and he took out three or four of the latest popular models from the counter and introduced them to Gu Junlin in detail.
Gu Junlin glanced briefly, but still shook his head, then pointed to a sapphire ring locked in the glass cabinet in the center of the counter and asked:
"How much is that ring?"
The staff member looked back and his face changed slightly. The ring was called "Heart of the Ocean" and was the store's treasure. It sold for 3.68 million and had been in the store for more than three years.
No one has come to buy it.
It's not that no one in Jiangcheng can afford this ring, it's just that this ring is an antique ring, and the person who entrusted it to sell it, in addition to asking for a very high price, also has an additional condition, which is that he must answer a question.
If this question satisfies the owner of the ring, the ring will be given away for free. If the answer does not satisfy the owner of the ring, no matter how much money is given, the ring will not be sold.
The asking price of 3.68 million is just a symbolic asking price.
Over the years, many young men from wealthy families in Jiangcheng have come to buy it, but unfortunately their answers failed to satisfy the owner of the ring.
This "Heart of the Ocean" has always been idle here.
After hearing this, Gu Junlin couldn't help but become interested and asked: "What happened to the owner of the ring?"
The staff member looked embarrassed and whispered:
"Sorry, sir, this store has regulations. If you want to see this ring and answer questions, you must first pay a deposit of 3.68 million."
"Ahem!" At this moment, Zhou Yan pretended to cough, walked to the counter, pointed at Gu Junlin and said:
"This gentleman is my friend. I paid the deposit of 3.68 million on his behalf."
With that said, Zhou Yan took out a checkbook from his body, signed for 3.68 million and handed it over.
Gu Junlin lingered here for a long time and had already attracted Zhong Huixue's attention. She walked over and after asking, she learned that Gu Junlin wanted to buy the Heart of the Ocean.
Zhong Huixue immediately showed a surprised expression: "Gu Junlin, are you crazy? Why did you buy such expensive things?"
"I don't want it, let's go." Zhong Huixue took Gu Junlin's arm and started to leave.
However, Gu Junlin stood motionless and said with a smile: "Huixue, don't get me wrong. You can get this ring for free as long as you answer a question. I want to try it."
"What are you trying?"
Zhong Huixue said angrily: "Do you know what question the owner of this ring left? She asked her ex-boyfriend's name? What kind of question is this? The owner of the ring has never shown his face. Who knows her ex-boyfriend?
Which ghost is it?"
"Do you know why no one has bought this ring? Everyone in Jiangcheng thinks that the owner of this ring is joking and doesn't want to sell it at all."
"Do you think you are smarter than others?"
Zhong Huixue told the question behind the ring in one breath, and then stood aside angrily.
Gu Junlin was stunned. He didn't expect that the owner of the ring left such a strange question.
If this is the case, it is indeed difficult to guess.
However, Gu Junlin had seen everything in the world, but he had other thoughts in mind. He believed that since the owner of the ring could sell such a precious ring, he must have been heartbroken, and the question she left behind may not be funny.
Play.
Maybe there will be some clues left on the ring, but most people are too careless to notice it.
"Better show me that ring." Gu Junlin insisted.
The staff member shook his head helplessly and turned to get the ring.
Over the years, she has met too many confident men who wanted to buy this ring, but in the end they all failed.
The Gu Junlin in front of me was no exception.
Gu Junlin was waiting for the staff to get the ring when a strange voice suddenly sounded behind him.
"Hey, isn't this idiot Gu? He actually dares to come to "Longfengxiang" to spend money. Do you have the spending power?"
Gu Junlin turned around and frowned slightly.
The one who came was Zhong Fabai, who had just returned from overseas.
Zhong Fabai had a gorgeous woman in his arms. In addition, there was also a young couple similarly dressed in expensive clothes.
"Zhong Fabai, what are you talking about? Why can't Gu Junlin come here to shop? Do you open this store?"
Hearing this, Zhong Huixue's anger suddenly rose up, she turned her head and angrily scolded Zhong Fabai.
"Haha" Zhong Fabai sneered: "Of course he can come here to spend money, but I think this fool Gu wants to buy the Heart of the Ocean. Can he also buy that thing?"
"This person is the famous son-in-law of your Zhong family, Gu Junlin. As expected, he is not as famous as he is when we meet him. He is a fool."
At this time, the young man next to Zhong Fabai suddenly interrupted.
"Who are you and why do you say that about my husband?"
Zhong Huixue took a quick look at the man and found that she had never seen him before.
There is no grievance or enmity. Saying this about Gu Junlin made Zhong Huixue especially angry.
