Fortunately, they would be receiving a huge demolition fee. Although she did not know how long she could remain as a general manager, it was still a highly-paid job.
Wang Yunmei was thinking about this when Jian Ai suddenly asked the saleswoman, “May I know if there are any discount activities for your new property?”
The saleswoman smiled and nodded. “There are activities, but whether or not owners can get a discount depends on their luck.”
“Luck?” Jian Yu didn’t understand. He looked at the saleswoman and then at his mother and sister. How could they rely on luck for such a thing?
Seeing their puzzled expressions, the saleswoman nodded with a smile. “That’s right. Any owner who buys a hundred square meters house or more in Century Mansion can participate in the discount lottery once. There are five types of plastic balls in the prize pool. White ones do not win anything. Green ones are third prizes, where you can buy a house at a two percent discount. Yellow ones are second prizes, where you can buy a house at a five percent discount. Blue ones are first prizes, where you can buy a house at a seven percent discount. Red ones are special prizes, where you can buy a house at fifteen percent discount!”
As she spoke, the saleswoman took out the advertisement from the document folder. “It’s all written here. You can take a look.”
They received them one by one. The advertisement for the event also explained very clearly that there were ten winners for the third prize, five for the second prize, three for the first prize, and only one for the special prize.
If they could win a prize, they could save up to a few tens of thousand yuan for a house that cost a few hundred thousand yuan.
Wang Yunmei and Jian Yu didn’t show much emotion because they felt that the probability of winning was too low. There were only a few colored balls, so it was no different from buying a lottery ticket.
Only Jian Ai smiled.
Jian Ai had only tried the most basic control of the twelve sets of mental cultivation techniques of the ancient sect. The third set of techniques was X-ray vision, so it was time to use it now.
Since they had already decided to buy this house, they followed the saleswoman to the lottery area. In Wang Yunmei’s heart, it was good to be able to win a prize, but if they couldn’t, they would still buy this house.
However, Jian Ai was already determined to win a prize. At this time, from afar, she had already used her mental cultivation techniques to look at the sealed lottery box.
All she could see were white plastic balls. Only a few color balls were mixed at the edges, but the numbers were pitifully small. Some owners had already picked a few away.
Fortunately, the red ball was still there, in the corner at the bottom. One could tell that the staff had done it deliberately.
“Mom, let me draw,” Jian Ai said.
Wang Yunmei naturally wouldn’t object. In any case, she couldn’t see inside, so wouldn’t it be the same whoever drew it?
Jian Yu teased, “You might even get that red ball.”
Jian Ai took off her thick coat and handed it to Jian Yu. Then, she walked forward and reached her slender arm into the lottery box. She pretended to be conflicted and felt around for a while. Little did they know that the moment she reached in, she had already grabbed the red plastic ball.
Under everyone’s gaze, Jian Ai slowly took out her hand. She opened her palm and there was the only red plastic ball out of the hundred or so.
Wang Yunmei, Jian Yu, and the staff at the lottery area were stunned. They stared at the ball in her hands and forgot to react. On the other hand, Jian Ai pretended to be stunned for a while before suddenly shouting, “Red. Red!”
Everyone regained their senses and surrounded her.
