HPDBC Chapter 11: My luck has really turned around!
Chapter 11: My luck has really turned around!
After hanging up the phone, Chen Jiang glanced at his phone screen, unsure of what to say.
I don't know if I made too many calls or dialed the wrong number. This guy, Wen something, didn't seem to react much after hearing my news. And wasn't he laughing just now?
I hope I don't accidentally call that old man's enemy.
But it's too late to say anything now. Anyway, he did a good deed. Since this old man is rich, and not just any rich man, he must be in contact with other rich people. He shouldn't be short of money, right?
Chen Jiang stopped worrying and casually found a seat in the corridor to wait.
He didn't have to wait long, at most ten minutes later, several figures came out of the elevator, looked around, and then their eyes locked onto Chen Jiang before they walked over quickly.
The leader was a neatly dressed man with his hair combed meticulously. He looked to be around thirty years old, but possessed a strong presence, making it clear at a glance that he was no ordinary person. He strode up to Chen Jiang and spoke in the voice that came from the phone:
"Hello, are you the kind person who called me earlier?"
As he spoke, he stretched out a hand.
"Yes, it's me. Are you Mr. Wen?"
Chen Jiang glanced at the other person, then at the people behind them... To be honest, he couldn't tell anything, but these people looked anxious and worried, so it shouldn't be that they had found an enemy.
The person opposite him was still able to laugh:
"My surname is Yan, and my given name is Wenshuo."
"I'm sorry, I saw your last name in the phone number and thought it was Wen," Chen Jiang apologized.
"It's nothing, it's just a small matter. Thank you so much for your help and notification this time." Yan Wenshuo shook his head: "I'm really grateful for your help this time, otherwise I'm afraid I would have found out too late."
"It was just an accident."
Chen Jiang sighed. He wouldn't have gotten involved in this kind of thing if he hadn't had no other choice.
But since he couldn't just stand by and do nothing, he had no choice but to bear the consequences.
Fortunately, this time he didn't encounter anyone difficult to communicate with. Otherwise, if it were like those news reports where someone saves another person only to be betrayed, his conscience would probably be completely dead.
"Anyway, thank you very much."
Yan Wenshuo didn't say anything more: "Give me an account number, and I'll transfer the medical expenses to you immediately."
"Okay, this is my bank account."
Chen Jiang naturally had nothing to say; every penny counts, especially since he had paid several thousand.
In less than ten seconds, the transfer transaction information was sent to Chen Jiang's phone. However, unexpectedly, it was not the few thousand yuan that Chen Jiang had paid on his behalf, but a full 100,000 yuan!
"Mr. Yan, what's going on?"
Chen Jiang looked up, puzzled.
Yan Wenshuo didn't mind and said with a smile:
"This is to express my gratitude to you; it was a matter of life and death."
"If we didn't have the ability, that would be fine, but we do have the ability to repay you, so we should be grateful. Besides, if the chairman were here, he would probably thank you even more for saving our lives."
In short, just accept it.
Since that's been said, Chen Jiang accepted it without worry.
Although it was indeed an accident and a bit of a shock, Chen Jiang had to admit that he was starting to find this guy surnamed Yan somewhat agreeable after earning 100,000 yuan in less than an hour.
"Alright then, I'll be going now, Mr. Yan, I'll leave this place to you."
Now that he had nothing more to do and had the money in hand, Chen Jiang prepared to make his escape.
Yan Wenshuo nodded and stepped aside:
See you next time.
"goodbye."
Chen Jiang left the hospital.
......
With a little effort, Chen Jiang got back into his car, started it, and drove on the road, pondering the events of the past few days. The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.
As someone who had been unlucky for several years, Chen Jiang had a clear understanding of his own luck, but the situations he had encountered in the past few days were truly beyond his imagination.
Ever since he divorced that woman, it's like his life has suddenly changed.
The woman wanted to use the divorce agreement to divide his house, but she died as soon as she stepped out the door.
He randomly picked up a lottery ticket and actually won ten million.
I bought a few things at the supermarket, and then smashed a golden egg and won another 100,000 yuan.
However, after Boss Zhou quickly spun his phone around, Nina happened to spot the account balance and voluntarily revealed it.
Even this morning, he rescued a wealthy old man and casually gave him a reward of 100,000 yuan... This is no longer a matter of good or bad luck; it has reached a somewhat eerie point.
Chen Jiang was starting to wonder if he had accidentally done something that traded his lifespan for luck, otherwise how could he suddenly be so incredibly lucky?
However, whether his luck had truly turned around or these events were just accidents, Chen Jiang felt he still needed to test it, but he didn't know how to test it properly... Should he buy another lottery ticket?
Or do you specifically look for places that have events and hold prize draws?
As Chen Jiang was thinking, he happened to see a lottery shop open right by the roadside.
"Since it's such a coincidence, let's give it a try."
He slammed on the brakes and pulled the car over to the side of the road. Chen Jiang got out and went into the lottery shop.
This is a very ordinary lottery shop, with ordinary machines, and stacks of scratch-off lottery tickets on the tables and counters.
Chen Jiang had been thinking of buying another lottery ticket to try his luck, but then he thought that he wouldn't be able to check the lottery results until tomorrow, while scratch-off tickets showed whether he had won or not immediately.
Without further ado, he took out his phone, scanned a QR code, and said to the proprietress behind the counter:
"Give me a stack of these."
The proprietress took out a stack of scratch-off lottery tickets and placed them on the counter:
"These are 20 yuan each, and the whole book has 25 sheets, totaling 500 yuan."
"The money has been scanned."
Chen Jiang put down his phone, took the scratch card in front of him, tore off a card, and started scratching.
The first one didn't win.
The second one didn't work either.
The third one, I won five yuan.
Fourth... Fifth... Twentieth... Twenty-fourth...
To his great surprise, after scraping twenty bills, he actually won a total of one hundred and twenty dollars!
Chen Jiang was a little puzzled:
"Has my luck run out?"
Thinking it over, he forcefully scratched off the last sheet, glanced at it, and then jumped off the stool, startling the proprietress behind the counter who was watching TV: "What's wrong?"
Chen Jiang let out a long sigh, closed his eyes, and slowly shook his head to suppress the excitement and dazed feeling in his heart. He then looked up and showed the scratch-off lottery ticket to the shop owner:
"Nothing much, just won a million."
