Chapter 182 - 183: Bright Prospect Ahead (3)
“Excuse me, are you Miss Lu Weixi? We are Hanhai Shopping Centre, you won a prize in our company a month ago. Now you have the opportunity to join the maiden voyage of our Hanhai Group…”
Lu Weixi’s first reaction was, are scammers nowadays so up-to-date? Or did her personal information get leaked, which is why the scammer knew so much detail about her?
She was busy at work and too lazy to listen to someone babble on, so she hung up the phone directly. On this side, Xue Feifei was finally released from her conversation with colleagues at Lulu. Noticing that she had hung up the phone, she casually asked: “Who was that?”
“Oh, it was a scammer.” As Lu Weixi directed the decorators, she responded, “They said something about a lottery activity by the Hanhai Group, and I could go on a maiden cruise.”
As she was saying this, she started laughing, “Are scammers now keeping up with the times? I’ve already collected my prize, and I only got third prize. Why would I go on a maiden voyage?”
Xue Feifei frowned. This maiden cruise is not for sale to the public. How did the scammer know so much detail? She took the phone from Lu Weixi and checked the call log. The phone number that called was indeed the one who sent the winning text message earlier.
She then posed as Lu Weixi and called back: “I’m Lu Weixi. What’s this about a maiden voyage, can you explain it clearly?”
The person on the other end immediately replied: “The situation is like this, Miss Lu is the winner of our third prize. However, the first prize winner recently had a car accident, and the second prize winner is abroad and couldn’t be contacted. So we wanted to ask if Miss Lu has time to participate in the maiden voyage of the Hanhai Group, which is this weekend.”
Xue Feifei quickly responded: “Can you hold on a moment?”
Then she muted the phone, and turned to ask, “Could he be behind this?” “He” was someone instantly understood by Lu Weixi, Qin Zhiyou.
Lu Weixi slightly frowned. It couldn’t be him. Qin Zhiyou was too prideful. She had rejected him twice, once at the Qin family mansion and once after Liu Yiyi. Given his personality, he definitely wouldn’t come back a third time. Moreover, even if he really wanted her on board, he wouldn’t be roundabout and use a lottery as a method.
What he wanted was a lady companion standing beside him, not a guest won through a lottery.
In reality, it was indeed so. Her winning the third prize was at the behest of Qin Zhiyou. He instructed his secretary to pass on a message during the shopping lottery event that if there was someone named “Lu Weixi” participating, give her the third prize. The first prize was a maiden voyage with Hanhai, he believed she didn’t need a lottery to qualify for the boat. The second prize was a gold bracelet, gifting jewelry is a very elaborate affair for men, obviously, he couldn’t just give it away. There was only the third prize left.
But this time, the first-prize winner’s car accident and the second-prize winner’s abroad trip was beyond his control. His secretary wanted to report it to him earlier, but he didn’t listen, so he naturally didn’t know about it.
She shook her head, and Xue Feifei immediately responded: “It’s like this. Things are a bit urgent, and I might need to discuss it with my boss.”
The person on the other end politely responded: “That’s fine, but please make sure to give us a response by tomorrow afternoon at the latest.”
After hanging up, Xue Feifei immediately said: “This is a great opportunity, one in a thousand. Weren’t you just short of a ticket? Here’s a free one delivered to you.”
But when she asked Lu Weixi, she had a frown on her face and didn’t seem interested in going..
