"Whoa! The winning rate is pretty high?!
Bro, I'm lucky today! I'll take this one!
"How do we check the winning rate?" Wang Hao looked at the boss and asked, "Is it on the bottle cap?"
"Yes, it's on the bottle cap!" The boss grinned, looking like a sly merchant, "What do you think, want to buy a few bottles to try your luck?"
"The commission on this beer isn't low, is it?" Wang Hao glanced at the boss, "Trying to fool me?"
Whoa, this kid noticed?
The boss hurriedly coughed twice, "Ahem, no, I'm just saying the winning rate is high, it's worth a try. Don't miss out on a good opportunity!"
"Alright then," Wang Hao rubbed his chin, "How much for a bottle?"
"Four bucks, four bucks a bottle!" The boss quickly grabbed a bottle, "Look at this bottle, this packaging, absolutely top quality! Besides, four bucks is a good deal, you won't regret it, what do you say? Want a few bottles?"
"Give me one to try first," Wang Hao took the bottle, grabbed an opener and opened it right away, catching the boss off guard, "You're opening it now?"
"Yeah," Wang Hao inspected the bottle cap closely, "Hey, boss, if it says 'another bottle,' does that mean I've won?"
The kid actually won?
The boss was stunned for a moment, then quickly grabbed the cap, checked it three times, and nodded, "Yes, that's right, you've won!"
Hahaha, this is great!
"What are you waiting for? Give me another one!" Wang Hao whistled, "You're not going to default on this, right? Don't tell me I have to pay extra."
"No way," the boss immediately handed over another bottle, "Here you go, you lucky guy, you bought one and won one!"
"Exactly," Wang Hao opened the second bottle, "Hey, boss, another one!"
What the heck is happening today? Buy one, win one, then win another with the winning one?!
The boss felt like he had the worst luck, but rules are rules, he couldn't back out now, so he handed over another bottle.
Wang Hao opened this one too and chuckled when he saw the cap, "Hahaha, boss, you're going to make it big—another one!"
This really felt like some kind of a joke! Such a high winning rate?
So Wang Hao opened the fourth bottle, "Another one!"
Fifth bottle, "Another one!"
Sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, "Keep going!"
Tenth, eleventh, twelfth, "Wow, finally, no more wins!"
"You know, I feel a bit bad," Wang Hao smiled sheepishly, "Hey, can you pack these beers? Just use the Zhonghai Beer box."
The boss felt even worse, "So, you bought twelve beers for four bucks and now you want a box too?"
"Come on," Wang Hao grinned, "It's just luck, right? You're not losing money anyway..."
Carrying the beer into the house, his mom asked curiously, "Why did you buy so much beer at once... and why are they all opened?!"
"Ah, I thought I'd drink more with Dad tonight," Wang Hao put the beer on the floor and raised his eyebrows, "Feeling happy today, happy!"
Heading to the kitchen to help, he had just washed two scallions when the door opened again, and Dad came home.
"Found a job today? This brat never stops worrying me," Dad started grumbling as soon as he came in, "How's he going to find a wife by mooching off us all the time? How are we going to have grandkids... where did you get the dog?!"
Little Bai: "Meow..."
Dad: "Oh, this dog is quite obedient! Knows how to greet us, better than that brat Haoer!"
"You old man, what are you saying? Why do you always look down on our Haoer?" Mom couldn't take it anymore, storming out of the kitchen, "I've never seen someone so annoying, let me tell you!"
"I'm not looking down on him, I'm just worried," Dad changed his slippers, "Why do I work my butt off every day? Isn't it to make more money for him to buy a house and get married? The point is we can't bust our butts off while he's living carefree, right? He needs to work hard, otherwise, what will he live on when we're gone?"
"Ugh, you can't say it nicely?" Mom pouted, "Tell you what, our Haoer found a job today, a temporary worker at a company, 2400 a month, starts next Monday!"
"Really?" Dad's eyes widened in excitement, "Way to go, Haoer, you're doing great! Haha, let's have a drink to celebrate!"
Wang Hao laughed, "Yeah, celebrate, we must celebrate!"
Soon the food was almost ready, Dad grabbed a bottle and said while drinking, "You brat, back then I didn't keep a good eye on you, and you ended up at a second-rate university, useless. Should've retaken the exams for a year. Now, your last job had you working from 7 AM to 8 PM for just 2200 a month. Such exploitation! This job might pay less, but it's a good start, not bad."
"Dad, it's not that great," Wang Hao said, a bit embarrassed, "It's only for two months, I'll have to find another job after."
"That's okay," Dad didn't mind at all, "Let me tell you, a man's work isn't about the result but the process! If you work hard and do your best, that's all that matters! If you're converted to a permanent employee, great, if not, it's just timing. The crucial thing is that you want to earn money and support yourself, that's the spirit! After this, Zhonghai City is big; there will always be a job for you. Don't overthink it, come on, cheers!"
Wang Hao quickly raised his bottle and clinked it with Dad's, "Cheers!"
