Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 1081 Don't Regret It (Give a reward of +8 to reader 20189428)

Chen Hui went backstage and found the venue manager: "You guys have tickets, right? Get a complete set, all the seats included. And find me a box too."

The person in charge quickly ran out to make arrangements.

The police officers' performance on stage was probably put together on short notice; it wasn't a competition, just something to have some fun.

Xiao Hong put Bei Bei in a seat and said, "Bei Bei, have a seat too, let's see how lucky Bei Bei is."

Wang Guifang asked, "What are you going to do?"

Xiao Hong said, "It's definitely a lottery, judging from the setup. Let's see who's lucky."

As soon as the police program ended, Chen Hui came on stage carrying a cardboard box and said, "Let's add a last-minute program: a lucky draw."

Everyone below cheered.

Chen Hui said, "You'll draw five times, five rounds of cash. The box contains the tickets I just got from the stadium; all the seats are in there. Whichever seat you draw is the one who was sitting there at the time, understand? If you change seats, it's not your seat anymore, so don't argue later."

Now, we'll draw the first prize, 200 yuan each, fifty winners. For this first round, let's have our host from the provincial TV station, Shen Jia, draw the prizes, okay? Come on.

Chen Hui put the box on the table and gestured for Shen Jia to come over.

Shen Jia walked over with a surprised expression: "I'll draw? How do I draw? Can I go and save a seat?"

Everyone laughed. Chen Hui said, "Okay, you can reserve a seat. See which row you like."

Shen Jia thought for a moment and said, "Let's skip this round. This round will definitely pay the least, don't you guys think? I'll have to wait for the next few rounds."

Chen Hui said, "Just stick your hand in, stir it around, and pull out whichever one you like. Fifty in total. Do it one by one. Don't come out a row of consecutive numbers, otherwise it'll be no fun."

Shen Jia paused for a moment, then asked, "Isn't that even more interesting?"

The laughter from the audience grew even louder.

Shen Jia stretched out her right hand, tugged at her sleeve, blew a breath of magic into her hand, and began to draw the tickets. The audience immediately quieted down, and everyone stared at the box.

Fifty tickets were drawn out, and Chen Hui took half of them, saying, "Let's read them one by one. If there's an empty seat, we'll draw another one."

Fifty people were quickly selected: twenty-three construction soldiers, two policemen, and twenty-five employees. Commander Hu laughed heartily, "The advantage of having more people is that the chances of success are much higher." Director Qin smiled and shook his head.

The next event involved a draw: twenty people won 500 yuan each in the second round, and ten people won 1,000 yuan each in the third round, eliciting envious shouts from the audience. Two soldiers won 500 yuan, and one policeman and Hao Juan won 1,000 yuan.

In fact, Chen Hui had already reserved a large portion of the seats for the military and police in advance. This wasn't unfair; the winners should be distributed more towards the employees. What kind of company would it be if all the winners of its own lottery were just people who came to join in the fun?

"Mommy, Mommy, why haven't I been chosen yet?" Beibei asked, sitting in her seat and clinging to Xiaohong's arm, her little face full of grievance.

Xiao Hong said, "Don't rush, there's more. In your mind, repeat 'Slap me, slap me, slap me.'" Wang Guifang laughed from the side.

In the fourth round, two thousand yuan, five people. Shen Jia took the microphone and pretended to go down to find an empty seat. She kept saying into the microphone, "Pick me, pick me, pick me, pick me."

This time, it was Li Na's turn to draw, and strangely enough, she actually drew Shen Jia's seat. Everyone was stunned, then cheered, applauded, and whistled, getting excited. Shen Jia screamed and rushed onto the stage, hugged Li Na and kissed her, then asked the audience, "Am I going to be rich this year? What kind of luck is this?"

Beibei pouted and said, "I also read out the name of the person who hit me."

The fifth round is five thousand yuan, for two people.

Geng Hui asked Aunt Wang to draw a ticket. Aunt Wang smiled and went up on stage. She rummaged in the box for a while and pulled out two tickets.

The entire room fell silent; everyone was breathing heavily, staring at Aunt Wang's hand as she held the ticket. Five thousand yuan! That's almost a year's salary for an average employee.

The first ticket was empty, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, startling Aunt Wang who was checking the tickets. The second ticket was drawn and the girl drew an office clerk, who screamed with happiness.

The third draw was for Director Qin, who then said he wanted to draw again because he didn't want it. He couldn't accept it anyway.

Xiao Wei pushed Director Qin onto the stage. Director Qin took the microphone and said, "How about this, I'll randomly select ten people from the ballot box and we'll split the five thousand yuan equally. What do you all think?" The audience responded enthusiastically. Director Qin stirred the ballot box, pulled out ten tickets, and distributed the five thousand yuan.

The soldiers from the infrastructure regiment went on stage and sang two military songs for everyone. Everyone thought it was over, and some even stood up, fiddling with their clothes and preparing to leave. Xiao Wei went on stage again and took the microphone.

"Huh? You're leaving already? Don't regret it!"

Many of those who had already walked a few steps screamed and ran back to their seats, looking at Xiao Wei on the stage with surprise.

Xiao Wei said, "The company has achieved considerable development this year, which is inseparable from the contributions of everyone here. The three of us are very happy and grateful, so we thought of holding an annual meeting to give everyone some New Year's money and let everyone get together and have some fun. It seems to be a good idea."

"Now, all the shows are over, right?" He turned to ask the host. Shen Jia nodded to indicate that the shows were over.

Xiao Wei said, "Well, the performance is over. Today, our year-end meeting is also over. Everyone, those who should take a holiday can go on holiday, and those who should go to work can go to work. Whether you are on holiday or working, I wish you all a happy Chinese New Year."

Next year, the company will expand beyond Northeast China and into the Central Plains. We have acquired five plots of land in Beijing to build five large shopping malls, and one plot of land in Tianjing.

Once that area is completed, we will select a group of outstanding individuals from among you to come to the capital and be responsible for team building there. So, everyone needs to work hard these next two years, lest you find yourself only able to envy others as they move to Beijing.

The people below were clearly a little disappointed, thinking it was a lottery, but it turned out to be a summary. However, applause still broke out.

"Alright, I won't ramble on anymore. Now I'll draw the final prize for today. There are three winners, and I'll draw them one by one. The first two will each receive 10,000 yuan. I hope the winners will spend this money wisely and improve their lives."

"Wow!" The crowd erupted in cheers, as if everyone could win a prize.

Xiao Wei waved his hand: "The last one, let's call it the grand prize for tonight, the luckiest person, is a Xiali sedan. Don't call it yet, you'll have to pay the taxes and get the license plate yourself, the company will only provide the paperwork."

We have a deal: you're lucky enough to win this car, so you have to work hard. If someone wins this car and thinks they can sell it and retire to enjoy life, I can't help it, but I can only say that you're being too short-sighted.

Okay, enough chit-chat, let's see who's the luckiest person in our company.
