An Rugu, dubbed the ‘Big Company Killer’: “…”

Changjiu Real Estate¹ looked prosperous on the surface, but in reality, it was in dire straits. Its leaders were greedy and unkind, so bankruptcy was inevitable. She had done nothing to change its fate; she merely announced its bankruptcy ahead of time on Weibo.

Now, CEO Su has announced that he would donate his property to the country. The company has not gone bankrupt; it has just been taken over by the state.

The company boasted several patented technologies and highly skilled technical personnel. Under state control, she heard that they would be collaborating with the Academy of Sciences to develop new silicon chips. Clearly, their business performance was only on the rise.

She picked up the cup and took a sip of the ginger tea. The warm tea warmed her heart and stomach. “Su Technology Company is not bankrupt. Without further ado, let’s get straight to the lottery. If you want to meet me as your fortune teller, just click and join the lottery.”

[Okay, I get it, Big Company Killer (dog head)]

[Ah, right, right, right. It just happened that someone set one foot forward, and the company became bankrupt.]

[I clicked, I don’t want to win the prize today.]

[Then don’t join the  draw. Those who are destined to win are almost always unlucky, which is why I don’t join.]

[Plus one, please don’t join the lottery.]

However, as time went by, everyone clearly saw that the number of people participating in the lottery was increasing rapidly.

In the end, nearly 90% of people chose to join the lottery.

After a while, the names of three destined people emerged.

A gorgeous animation appeared on everyone’s livestream screen, with the IDs of the three destined persons printed in the center: ‘The Chosen Ones have appeared!’

[I remember the ID name of this first destined person. He just called on everyone not to participate in the lottery. Guys, this is a big problem.]

[I’m smoked too. I said ‘no’, but my body was honest.]

[Because the lottery can be used as a luck detector, hehe.]

After the video call connected, the first destined person appeared on the screen. He was about thirty years old, white and plump, like a round steamed bun.

However, his hair was a little thin, his clothes were loose, and he had a round, red jade hanging around his neck, over all giving off a tough and unkempt temperament.

He sat on a leather sofa, and his phone accidentally showed some expensive furnishings behind him, indicating that he came from a well-off family.

<Regiment Commander> saw these comments and smiled, “I can’t help it. I really want to win the lottery, so I have to find a way to prevent you from joining and increase my chances of winning.”

[What a show! The city has so many tricks. I want to go back to the countryside.]

[Don’t be too happy too soon, first unlucky guy, the hellish road is ahead.]

[New viewers have confirmed this, and old viewers all know that the more heartily the destined person laughs now, the harder they will cry later.]

<Regiment Commander> didn’t take it seriously, his smile growing wider, “I’m an old audience member, you can’t fool me.

“I’ve previously calculated the probability of someone being unlucky, and it’s only about 70/100. There are some people who are not unlucky. It seems I’m one of them.”

[Good fellow, how can you be so confident? If you eat peanuts, you won’t get so drunk².]

The red jade around <Regiment Commander>’s neck was so beautiful, it proved he was wealthy. It was a weekday, and he didn’t seem to be at work, which suggested that he was both wealthy and had some free time. Honestly speaking, he certainly got the confidence to speak.

An Rugu’s eyes flickered across the red jade around <Regiment Commander>’s neck, her expression changing. After a moment, she said, “Please pay the divination fee, a high-powered gun salute.”

“Okay.” <Regiment Commander> readily sent out the high-powered gun salute.

“In physiognomy, the nose represents wealth for both men and women. The nose represents earth, and earth produces gold. A thick and full nose means wealth.

“You have a fleshy nose tip and thick nostrils, so you come from a mid-wealthy family, right?”

<Regiment Commander> smiled and said, “That’s right, even if you say I’m narcissistic, I’m just a rich second-generation guy with money and free time.”

“You have big ears that stick close to your skin and a nose that looks like a hanging gallbladder. You have a calm personality and are a kind person.”

<Regiment Commander> was a little embarrassed when he heard the streamer praise him for being kind. “You are right about being kind. My friends say I am like an old man.  Good people all like to play with me.

“People from my family background like to drink, race cars, and change girlfriends, but I don’t like that. I just like fishing and enjoying life.”

[So we’re kindred spirits. Did you get anything yesterday or did you go home empty-handed?]

<Regiment Commander> saw these comments, slapped his thigh hard, and gritted his teeth, “Air Force! After a whole day in the sun, I only caught two small fish and a lot of garbage. The fish was too small to be eaten, so I released them all.

“I won’t lie, I’ve been fishing for so long, but I haven’t caught a big fish yet. I know fishing is for fun, but it still feels so bad.”

‘Air Force’ was a slang term used in fishing circles. If you go out fully armed and end up not catching a single fish, you’re called ‘Air Force’.

[Hahahahaha, as everyone knows, fishermen can catch anything except fish.]

[Since you can’t catch any fish, you might as well give up fishing and develop some other hobbies.]

<Regiment Commander> nodded and said, “Yes, I have indeed developed a hobby and now I have started collecting.”

He grabbed the red string around his neck and brought the red jade closer to the camera. “This jade is so beautiful! I fell in love with it the moment I saw it at the antique market. I can’t bear to take it off even when I sleep.”

The base of the jade on the screen was white, but red veins appeared on half of it, making it look as vibrant as a red coral branch, exuding an aggressive aura.
