Chapter 31
310% Luck
The restaurant manager came over with the invoice for the fifty thousand yuan grand prize. He took a deep breath and explained with a smile, “Congratulations on winning the grand prize. You’re the first customer to win more than ten thousand yuan with the receipt of our restaurant.
“However, you can’t redeem the prize at our restaurant. You need to redeem it at the State Taxation Administration with your proof of your identity and the winning invoice.
“Also, it’ll be valid within 30 days from the date the invoice is issued.”
“Then, we’ll go to redeem it later. Sister Yao, you should treat us to a meal after winning, right?
“How about coming here again tomorrow?
“I like their food a lot. Brother Chen and Brother Liu can come too.
“Sister Yao, what do you think?” Color Hair had already made a decision before Li Muyao spoke. The food of this restaurant was indeed delicious and Color Hair liked it a lot.
It wasn’t that Color Hair had no money himself, but since Sister Yao won the grand prize, he should come here with her to eat and nourish their bodies. He even invited Chen Qing and Liu Gucheng, killing many birds with one stone.
“Sure! Then, Brother Chen, Brother Liu, we’ll meet here tomorrow on time. Manager, can we reserve this private room for tomorrow in advance?” Li Muyao was willing to fulfill Color Hair’s small request.
Indeed, Li Muyao’s gaze when she looked at Color Hair was a little loving. She treated him as well as she did her little brothers.
“Okay, we’ll let Muyao treat us tomorrow.” Chen Qing and Liu Gucheng nodded and agreed to come tomorrow. The restaurant manager also agreed to ask the waitress to keep the small room for them tomorrow.
However, nobody had thought that Li Muyao would indulge her brother Color Hair’s waywardness like that.
For four consecutive days, Li Muyao treated them to meals at the restaurant. They tried all the dishes of the restaurant in the four meals in these four days. She also won prizes in all four days, one fifty thousand grand prize, two ten thousand first prizes, and one five thousand second prize.
On the fifth day, the manager of the restaurant served Li Muyao and the others in person.
“Thank you for choosing our restaurant. Today’s meal is on us.” If all the invoices in the restaurant weren’t sent by the State Taxation Administration; and if they didn’t see the cashier tear off each receipt and witness Li Muyao scratch it;
The manager and all the restaurant staff would have suspected that Li Muyao and the three of them brought fake invoices here to get the prizes and make trouble on purpose.
There were four receipts in four days and none of them was with no prize. They spent a total of 1500 yuan on the meals and each meal cost an average of 375 yuan, but they won 75000 yuan. Such a rate of return was amazing.
The restaurant manager even called the State Taxation Administration and asked them if it was easier to win the lottery on the receipts this year.
He then realized that the possibility of winning the prizes in the receipts was even lower than winning in a lottery. Normal people would only win five or ten yuan and there were also especially few of them.
Nobody won the grand prize on the first try like Li Muyao did. Even the smallest prize she got was the second prize.
“Manager, were you stunned by Sister Yao? Don’t worry. We’ll not ask for the receipt anymore after today. However, because of my Sister Yao, your restaurant’s business improved, right?”
Color Hair wasn’t a fool. On the contrary, he was very smart instead.
He wasn’t really preying on Li Muyao’s awesome luck. He truly liked the food of this restaurant.
Of course, Color Hair also wanted to test Li Muyao’s luck.
He had never thought it would bring on such a huge fortune. Color Hair knew they couldn’t come here again. If they continued the next time, they might encounter some problems when they went to the State Taxation Administration to redeem the prizes with the invoices.
So, Color Hair could understand the troubles of the restaurant manager and he knew that Sister Yao would be mad if he continued to act like that.
“Right, right, right! Thank you for bringing good fortune to our restaurant. Here are four VIP cards. You can have 20% off when you come to eat at our restaurant next time.
“Also, I hope that you won’t ask for the receipt the next time you come!”
Normally, restaurants didn’t like to give customers receipts. After all, when customers get the receipts, the reported tax will naturally be higher. However, this restaurant wasn’t an ordinary one. They supported customers requesting receipts. They just accidentally encountered such a lucky customer like Li Muyao and they truly dared not to let them take receipts anymore.
So, he gave them the VIP cards.
They must know that customers had to spend or top up more than a hundred thousand yuan to get the VIP card of this restaurant.
Li Muyao smiled in embarrassment. “Alright, I won’t ask for the receipt from now on. Sorry for scaring you, Manager!”
To be honest, Li Muyao was also stunned by her luck.
The first time might just be a coincidence, but what about the second and third times?
Li Muyao had no idea why she became so lucky after being reborn.
Would such good fortune have certain effects on her future?
Nobody knew these things.
However, there was one thing Li Muyao had always known. She couldn’t be greedy!
Once she became greedy, her heart would change as well!
“No, no, it’s just rare to have such a lucky customer like you! Enjoy the food, everyone. I’ll leave you to your meal!” After the manager left and shut the door, Li Muyao was finally relieved.
She gave Color Hair a chicken drumstick, which he liked, with her chopsticks with a smile. “Are you happy now? You’ve tried all their dishes and you got their VIP card. We can go to another restaurant next time, right?”
“I’m sure am thrilled. Hehe, Sister Yao, you’ll have to pay for my food this month!” Color Hair wouldn’t feel embarrassed. Sister Yao was like his biological sister.
Li Muyao nodded and agreed. She then smiled at Chen Qing and Liu Gucheng. “We showed you something laughable, Brother Chen, Brother Liu. We’ll meet at another restaurant next time.”
At first, Chen Qing and Liu Gucheng found it interesting when Color Hair showed off his sister’s luck, but they never thought Li Muyao would truly be so lucky and win the grand prize.
They promised Color Hair that they would come to eat together if Li Muyao won the prize and would treat them.
In the last four consecutive days, Chen Qing and Liu Gucheng witnessed the surprise and miracle every day. Their shocked and excited hearts also became a little numb. They had also tried to scrape the receipts themselves, but they didn’t see anything other than “thank you for coming”.
They still couldn’t give up. The two of them secretly continued to come to the restaurant for dinner at night without Color Hair and Li Muyao and they kept taking the receipts for the prizes for another four days… The result was expectedly disappointing. They didn’t even win the smallest five-yuan prize.
“Don’t say that. We’re the ones who benefited from your good fortune. Hehe, we truly believe it now. Muyao, you really have the carp luck Color Hair talked about.”
They had to believe it after seeing it with their own eyes!
After they finished eating, Chen Qing and Liu Gucheng returned to their office and sat opposite each other. They each made a cup of wolfberry tea and exclaimed at the same time, “Li Muyao is indeed the girl that big boss has eyes on. Her luck is truly impressive!”
“Such luck isn’t just impressive. It’s a bit against God’s will. From the lottery shop to our stocks and the receipts in these four days, Li Muyao has already gotten almost a million yuan.”
“She’s simply the Carp God herself!”
They didn’t know that this was only the tip of the iceberg. When they saw Li Muyao’s name appearing on the billionaire list in the future, they would understand how lucky they were to have known this God of Wealth so early!
