Chapter 20 - I'll Take Any Opportunity I Can Get

Chapter 20 I’ll Take Any Opportunity I Can Get

Xiao Yun took the lottery ticket and carefully checked it. Then, he said, “Don’t worry, I won’t.”

The boss had nothing else to say either. Since the other party had money and wanted to buy a lottery ticket, why would the boss deny him that? Everything had been said and done.

The boss looked at Xiao Yun and swore that this was the first time in his life that he had seen such a strange child.

He was so mature that it was strange, and his guts made him even stranger.

The other veteran lottery players in the shop also looked at Xiao Yun with surprise. They simply thought that this child might be crazy or that he had too much money and nowhere to spend it.

Xiao Yun did not care what they thought of him. He had already bought the lottery ticket. Now, he just had to wait for the day his lottery ticket struck gold and give these men the shock of their lives.

The truly powerful people never said much.

Xiao Yun folded the lottery ticket into his pocket. Then, he politely said his goodbye to the people in the lottery shop and dragged Zhang Lexuan out.

Those in the shop were still staring at the three-and-a-half-year-old in shock.

“Such a young child could buy a lottery ticket just from looking at someone?”

“That kid was just fooling around.”

“If he wins it, I’ll be d*mned.”

“The child is quite good-looking. But why I don’t think he was very smart to immediately buy a lottery ticket ten times the amount of Liu Yidao.”

“We don’t understand the world of the rich.”

After this person finished speaking, everyone in the room laughed along.

Xiao Yun did not care about what they said after he had left either. They could say whatever they wanted. ‘We’ll see who will be laughing once the results are out.’

When Xiao Yun ran out, he saw that Liu Yidao had not gone far. Xiao Yun felt conflicted about whether or not to remind the man.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Yun decided to approach Liu Yidao anyway.

“I’m going to buy a steamed bun,” said Zhang Lexuan and then left.

Xiao Yun nodded, then looked in the direction where Liu Yidao was walking and said, “Brother Liu, wait for me.”

Xiao Yun was starting to worry that the man wouldn’t be able to hear him when he saw Liu Yidao stop and turn around.

Liu Yidao pointed at himself as if to ask, “Are you talking to me?”.

Xiao Yun nodded and walked toward Liu Yidao. Eventually, the two met again.

“Why did you call after me?” asked Liu Yidao

first.

At this moment, Zhang Lexuan ran over after buying the buns. He seemed to be a little surprised by Liu Yidao’s presence. But fortunately, he had bought enough buns to give one to Liu Yidao.

Io

Zhang Lexuan wasted no time to share the buns he had bought between the three of them.

The group then crouched over the sidewalk and started eating.

“Nothing. I just want to ask Brother Liu what he would like to do if he wins the lottery.” Xiao Yun’s words answered Liu Yidao’s question earlier too.

“Well, I’d obviously want to buy a good car and drive beautiful women as everyone envies me, especially those who used to look down on me.” Liu Yidao blurted out without thinking as if he had already won the lottery and the money was already in his hands.

Xiao Yun could tell this from the speed at which he answered. Liu Yidao had been looking forward to the day he won the lottery, so much so that he had already planned how he would use the money and why.

Xiao Yun thought for a moment and said, “Brother Liu, you have to know that luck is temporary. People can’t always be lucky. If you spend it all like that, even a mountain of gold and silver will not be enough to last you,” said Xiao Yun in a tone that did not speak his age.

This was also a kind reminder to Liu Yidao. As for whether his thoughts would change after this, Xiao Yun could not care less. This was all he could do.

After all, he had just relied entirely on Liu Yidao to buy lottery tickets. Xiao Yun simply thought that he would grab at any opportunity he had to do what should and needed to be done. At the very least, he hoped not to let this man do what he did in his previous life.

Liu Yidao was very surprised. He almost could not believe that these words came from the mouth of a kid who was not even as tall as his thighs.

Since he had said what he needed to say, Xiao Yun simply stuffed the last bite of the steamed bun into his mouth, stood up, and said to Liu Yidao, “Alright, Brother Liu, I’m leaving now. See you again if there’s a chance.”

Zhang Lexuan also stood up the moment Xiao Yun stood up, and the two of them left.

Xiao Yun could not be bothered about whether Liu Yidao would heed his words or not.

If Liu Yidao’s thoughts were still the same as before, then he was hopeless and Xiao Yun’s advice had fallen on deaf ears.

Xiao Yun and Zhang Lexuan eventually arrived back at the car. Xiao Yun hadn’t forgotten that Zhang Lexuan had to go to his supermarket today.

So he took the initiative to ask, “Do you still want to go to your supermarket? If you are busy, you can go first. I will take the bus and go straight back.”

“And why would I do that? Do you want to come to the supermarket with me instead?” Zhang Lexuan willingly extended an invitation to Xiao Yun.

Xiao Yun was a little surprised, not expecting Zhang Lexuan to invite him.

When he knew that Zhang Lexuan’s family opened a supermarket chain, Xiao Yun had been thinking that he might be able to initiate a partnership with Zhang Lexuan’s family after he had obtained a factory for his snack production in the future.

Since Zhang Lexuan had already invited him, Xiao Yun didn’t plan to decline. It just so happened that he also had the idea to visit.

If Zhang Lexuan hadn’t mentioned it just now, Xiao Yun would have taken made obvious his intentions sooner or later.

Zhang Lexuan had saved Xiao Yun a lot of trouble.

But out of courtesy, Xiao Yun still asked, “Don’t you need to tell your family in advance?”

“It’s okay, there’s no need for that. Just come with me.” After Zhang Lexuan finished speaking, he opened the car door and got in.

Xiao Yun followed closely behind.

“Go to the supermarket.” Zhang Lexuan instructed the driver in front.

“Yes, Young Master,” said the driver as he started the car and drove it to the supermarket.

Xiao Yun then asked, “Little Xuan, how many supermarket chains does your family have?”

“Well, I don’t know. I’ll ask my dad,” said Zhang Lexuan.

Xiao Yun shook his head. “It’s OK, I’m just asking.”

“By the way, when we get to the supermarket, remember to get Xi Xi and Chubs some of their favorite food,” said Zhang Lexuan suddenly.

Xiao Yun was a little surprised. He didn’t expect Zhang Lexuan to keep his promise at such a young age.

If it were other kids, they would have forgotten about it long ago. They wouldn’t be thinking about it all the time. It seemed that Zhang Lexuan really regarded Chubs and Xi Xi as his good friends.

“Brother Xiao, just take whatever you want to eat when we get there. Don’t be shy,” said Zhang Lexuan very generously.

Xiao Yun could not help but laugh: “Aren’t you afraid your father will spank you?”
