Zhang Zhong and the others were indeed in the fifth row, but they had been standing the whole time. They had not noticed the row numbers and seat numbers before. Now that they looked back and looked carefully, they actually had blurred numbers.
Li Qiang and his wife seemed very happy, but Zhang Zhong was not happy because he had noticed Zhang Huaizhen's actions just now, and now he had been drawn to his row so coincidentally. Maybe this guy had some conspiracy.
After thinking for a while, Zhang Zhong said to Li Qiang, "Let's change places. I want to go to the toilet after the prize draw, and your position is further outside."
Although Li Qiang felt that there was no use in just changing positions, since Zhang Zhong had opened the door, he could not refuse, so he nodded and changed positions with Zhang Zhong.
The two of them had just changed positions. When Li Qiang looked up, he heard the host on the stage announcing the number: "Number 23. The lucky person is the audience member number 23 in the fifth row. Please come up."
Number 23, row five... I was number 22, row five, just now? What about now?
Li Qiang looked at the seat number sharply. His current seat happened to be number 23.
Zhang Zhong next to him said with a smile, "Brother Qiang, I'm calling you on stage, why don't you go over?"
Li Qiang woke up from his dream and said with some embarrassment, "This person is you. How can I be so embarrassed? Why don't you go up."
Zhang Chong said with a smile, "This is fate. I changed places with you at the last moment of the lottery. If you win the prize, it belongs to you. Come up quickly, the host is waiting for you."
Zhang Huaizhen's face on the stage was a little dull. He only noticed the change of position after the lottery, but it was already too late.
Smoke it again?
In fact, there are only two pieces of paper in the box, one with the number five and one with the number twenty-three. If you want to draw again, you can only prepare another piece of paper, and even if you prepare, Zhang Zhong can repeat the same trick and change positions.
, or even leave directly.
Sighing silently, Zhang Huaizhen had a gentle smile on his face again, because the lucky man Li Qiang had already ran up excitedly.
"What's your name, sir?" The host handed the microphone to Li Qiang.
Li Qiang smiled and said, "No need to give your surname Li."
"Well, Mr. Li, how do you feel about being drawn by Master Zhang?"
"Of course I am very happy, I..."
After chatting for a few words, Zhang Huaizhen personally handed a piece of calligraphy to Li Qiang, and then said a few words of encouragement, but the interactive session mentioned before did not take place.
Li Qiang only wanted to calligraphy and painting, and didn't care about the interaction. He rushed back excitedly with the calligraphy.
"Wife, look."
He couldn't wait to open the words and show them to Liu Fang, and then showed them to Zhang Zhong and others.
There was a sound of envy around him, saying that he was lucky.
Some people remembered that Li Qiang participated in the bidding just now, and said with a smile, "This brother didn't get the 20,000 yuan just now. Now you can get one without spending money. You really can't escape no matter what."
Li Qiang laughed. He really felt that God was helping him. If Zhang Zhong hadn't changed places with him, he wouldn't have received this award.
After this small episode, Zhang Zhong and the others continued to visit Monkey Island. The island was very small and they could explore it after playing for a while.
While driving back, Li Qiang kept thanking Zhang Zhong, saying that this award was originally his.
Hu Huifang and Zhang Xingjun also felt it was a pity, but to be honest, they felt that although Master Zhang was famous, his handwriting was not as good as their son's.
In order to make up for Zhang Zhong, Li Qiang also said that he would definitely treat them to a seafood dinner in the evening.
Zhang Zhong originally thought of returning from Monkey Island and going back to the beach in front of the hotel to enjoy the sea breeze, but while Hu Huifang and Liu Fang were chatting, they said they wanted to go shopping in the city center.
In Zhang Zhong's view, shopping malls everywhere are pretty much the same. It's not advisable to come all the way to buy something that you can buy at home.
However, traveling abroad can stimulate the desire to consume, and it doesn’t matter what you buy.
After they arrived at the mall, the main people shopping were Liu Fang, Hu Huifang and two little girls, while three men walked behind and chatted.
While they were chatting, Zhang Zhong's phone rang. It was Chen Qing calling.
Zhang Zhong took his cell phone and walked aside to answer the call.
Li Qiang and Zhang Xingjun stood there. He looked at Zhang Zhong who answered the phone and said with a smile, "Uncle, I think my brother likes to wear sunglasses."
Zhang Xingjun smiled and said, "He has some eye problems and can't do it without wearing sunglasses. Please be patient."
Li Qiang waved his hand and said, "What am I waiting for? I'm just a little curious. Oh, by the way, what's my brother's name and how old is he? I've always called him brother, which is a bit weird."
"Just call him Xiao Zhang, his name is hard to pronounce," Zhang Xingjun said.
"Oh, that's good." Li Qiang nodded strangely.
Zhang Zhong took the call for about three or four minutes. Chen Qing called mainly to report on the sales of the new book.
Because the previous few books were released continuously, Zhang Zhong is now very popular, so the sales performance is very good.
In addition to the sales situation, Chen Qing also mentioned the film and television rights of "The Snowman". The other party has been pressing for it. Chen Qing feels that it is not possible to delay it any longer. He will either refuse directly or agree to the other party's conditions. He needs to make a decision in the near future.
.
However, Zhang Zhong still told Chen Qing not to worry, to delay if he can, and if he can't, just keep delaying.
When the boss said this, Chen Qing said nothing more and could only execute the order.
When Zhang Zhong came back with the phone, he saw Li Qiang looking at him strangely. He smiled and asked, "What were you talking about?"
"There's nothing to talk about. They've all gone away. Let's follow them."
When the three men caught up, Hu Huifang and the others were in a small bookstore.
Seeing them coming, Liu Fang smiled and said, "Li Qiang, aren't you clamoring to read a book every day? I'll buy you one."
Li Qiang glanced at the book in Liu Fang's hand and said, "I want to read "Ten Little Indian Boys", and this is not the one for you either."
Liu Fang shook the book in her hand and said, "This is Zhang Zhong's new book. It has become extremely popular in the past two days."
"What are you talking about? The cover looks a bit scary."
"Thriller and supernatural novel, several of my friends highly recommended it to me."
Li Qiang curled his lips and said, "It depends on you. I always feel that when I watch horror movies and horror novels, I am looking for trouble."
"Tch, I also said that if you like spicy food, you are asking for it. Okay, I will read this book myself, and buy you a copy of "Ten Little Indian Boys", and I will look for it for you."
It's not hard to find another book, because this large collection of books is all Zhang Zhong's, and the store owner has set up a special section for Zhang Zhong.
Looking at the area dedicated to Zhang Zhong, Liu Fang smiled and said, "The owner of this store is also a fan of Zhang Zhong's books."
