The Rich Man's Life Begins with a Comeback

Chapter 74 How could anyone cause such a huge disaster!
"what!"

When Xu Mo slowly opened the note and saw what was written on it, she instinctively gasped in surprise.

"what happened?"

Gu Heng asked, feigning curiosity.

"Gu Heng, I..."

"I think I won the first prize!"

A hint of nervousness appeared on Xu Mo's pretty face.

"what?"

"Really?"

"Let me see."

Gu Heng took the slip of paper from Xu Mo's hand and said in a serious tone, "Mo Mo, you're amazing! You won the first prize with just a random draw."

Not far away, Fan Hong was watching Gu Heng and Xu Mo with a smile on his face.

However, at this moment.

A staff member with an extremely pale face ran up to Fan Hong in a panic: "Fan... Fan... Assistant Chairman Fan, there's a mistake."

"A mistake?"

"What do you mean?"

Upon hearing this, Fan Hong frowned, somewhat puzzled.

"You took the wrong box just now."

The staff member explained quickly in a low voice: "The box that Xiaoxin and the others are holding now is the box used for the regular lottery draw for citizens, while the special lottery box we prepared is just sitting there unused."

"But……"

"Mr. Gu's friend, you just won the first prize?"

After hearing the explanation, Fan Hong frowned even more.

"Assistant Chairman Fan, before our event started, didn't we randomly put a first prize into the box that citizens use for the regular lucky draw?"

"The first prize that Mr. Gu's friend won is the same first prize I was talking about. In other words, Mr. Gu's friend won the first prize this time purely by luck."

After hurriedly explaining, Huang Feng looked at Fan Hong with a nervous and fearful expression.

How could a person cause such a big disaster!
He's absolutely panicking right now!
After listening to the other party's detailed explanation, Fan Hong couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"I will report this matter truthfully to Chairman Gu."

"Whoever is responsible, should bear the consequences."

After saying that, Fan Hong ignored the person in front of him and strode towards Gu Heng.

At this moment, Xu Mo, who had just been hit on the head by luck, was still dizzy and was following the staff of Zhencui Group to pick up the gift, while Gu Heng stayed where he was, smiling as he watched Xu Mo's back.

"Chairman Gu..."

Seeing this, Fan Hong took the opportunity to move closer to Gu Heng.

"Assistant Chairman Fan, you handled this matter well tonight."

When Gu Heng saw Fan Hong approaching, he immediately praised him with a smile, "Not only did we achieve our goal, but I also think the public's response to our event was very positive. It's a double win."

"Chairman Gu, you may be exaggerating too soon."

Upon hearing this, Fan Hong couldn't help but smile wryly.

"Ok?"

"What do you mean?"

Gu Heng was slightly taken aback, somewhat puzzled.

When asked, Fan Hong immediately gave Gu Heng a concise account of the blunder caused by his staff.

"You mean Xu Mo won the first prize purely by luck?"

Gu Heng's reaction at this moment was not much different from Fan Hong's just now, with the same expression of astonishment on his face.

"Yes."

Fan Hong smiled wryly and said, "Chairman Gu, this is all my fault for not keeping a close eye on them. I bear a great deal of responsibility. Please punish me, Chairman Gu."

"Um……"

"Such a basic mistake should not have been made."

Gu Heng nodded slightly: "Then punish Assistant Director Fan by deducting all of his bonus for this month. As for who is at fault among the subordinates, you and Qi Min will jointly investigate and handle the matter."

"The person primarily responsible for this matter will be punished according to the same standard as you, while the person secondarily responsible will be punished with half the standard."

A country has its laws, and a family has its rules.

If you make a mistake, you must be punished.

Even if Fan Hong is his confidant, he still has to take responsibility for his mistakes.

Without rules, nothing can be accomplished; each matter should be handled separately.

If Fan Hong makes a mistake, Gu Heng turns a blind eye.

When other senior executives make mistakes, Gu Heng takes drastic measures. Such double standards in management will inevitably lead to the entire group's management team becoming disloyal to him, and it will also easily foster arrogance in Fan Hong.

A peck of rice is a favor, a peck of rice is a grudge.

This life lesson was something Fan Hong had taught him in the past.

"Ok."

"Thank you, Chairman Gu."

Upon hearing this, Fan Hong readily agreed and breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, no matter how angry Gu Heng got about this, Fan Hong felt it was all justified, because the mistake they made today was really too basic.

After explaining the matter to Gu Heng, Fan Hong noticed that Xu Mo had received the prize and was returning, so he quickly left Gu Heng's side.

"Gu Heng!"

"The latest iPhone 15!"

"They actually gave it to me like that!"

Xu Mo held a brand new iPhone 15 in her hand, her fair face flushed with excitement.

At this moment, Gu Heng looked at Xu Mo with a somewhat strange expression.

When Xu Mo won the first prize, his surprise was feigned, but now his surprise was genuine.

You should know that in those ordinary lottery boxes, there are thousands of prizes, but only one first prize.

It's one in a thousand, such an extremely low probability, yet Xu Mo still managed to stumble upon it.

This luck is unbelievable.

"Momo, have you ever participated in a lottery before?"

Gu Heng asked curiously, "Have you ever bought scratch-off tickets or lottery tickets?"

"No."

Xu Mo shook her head and answered truthfully.

"With your luck, you should really try buying a lottery ticket."

Gu Heng exclaimed from the bottom of his heart, "Maybe the next five million yuan lottery winner will be you."

"I don't buy lottery tickets. People online say that lotteries are all scams."

Xu Mo muttered something to herself, then turned to Gu Heng and urged, "Gu Heng, you should draw one too."

"Whoa whoa……"

"I'll take one."

Gu Heng responded and then casually reached his hand into the lottery box.

After learning that the lottery box in front of him was just an ordinary lottery box, Gu Heng didn't have much hope for himself at all.

Because his luck has always seemed to be bad since he was a child. Not to mention lottery tickets and scratch cards, he has never won a "buy one get one free" prize even when drinking iced tea.

"Take a look..."

Xu Mo looked at Gu Heng with expectant eyes and urged him in a low voice.

Gu Heng smiled and opened the note in front of Xu Mo.

"Fuck!"

"Second prize?"

When Gu Heng saw the contents of the note, his eyes widened instantly, and then he subconsciously looked up at Fan Hong not far away.

When the other person saw Gu Heng's gaze, he immediately shrugged and indicated that he hadn't tampered with anything; it was just an ordinary lottery box.

"Wow!"

Second Prize!

"Gu Heng, you're amazing!"

Xu Mo, who was completely unaware of what was going on, couldn't help but cheer when she saw that Gu Heng had won the second prize.

'When did my luck become so good?'

Gu Heng was puzzled and vaguely felt confused.

A moment later, Gu Heng and Xu Mo left the scene, laden with their purchases, marking the end of the anniversary event held by Zhencui Group that evening.

After the event, Fan Hong, full of curiosity, took the lottery box that Gu Heng and Xu Mo had just used to draw prizes and poured out all the remaining prize slips.

As you flip through the pages, all you see are "Thank you for participating."

There are 87 prize slips remaining: 80 that say "Thank you for participating" and 7 that say "Fourth Prize".

Forget about the "second prize," there wasn't even a trace of the "third prize."

"That's incredible luck!"

Looking at the slips of paper scattered on the ground, Fan Hong was truly impressed by Gu Heng and Xu Mo's luck...
