Chapter 42
A group of people who eat and drink for free, yet do not understand gratitude.
She was angry, but told herself in her heart not to care about these poor people.
Hu Xiyue was a comic foil. Seeing the atmosphere on stage was not enthusiastic, she took the lead to stand up and applaud. The others followed suit and applauded as well, but the applause was sparse and scattered.
This made Kong Lian very upset.
This was not applause at all, it was clearly a slap in her face.
Kong Lian glanced at Hu Xiyue with dissatisfaction.
Such applause was unnecessary.
Kong Lian took a deep breath and adjusted her mood.
"Oh right, I've also prepared a gift for everyone here."
Everyone became alert, with ninety percent of eyes focused on her.
Seeing the effect, Kong Lian did not keep them in suspense and continued: "I've prepared a lottery game for everyone. Each person can scan the code to enter the lottery program. Everyone's avatar will appear on the screen. When I press the switch, whoever's avatar the system stops on will win the prize. The prize this time is a one-year VIP free experience card for Mingshan Island. For the next year, you can come to Mingshan Island for free without spending a penny."
"Wow! That’s so awesome." Someone exclaimed below the stage.
"Ahhh, I must win this prize."
"Ms. Kong is so generous!"
"Ms. Kong you're the best!"
Some shouted at her from below the stage.
Kong Lian finally showed a comfortable smile on her face. The atmosphere was lively again, and the previous awkwardness seemed to have never happened.
"This lottery will draw ten lucky winners. You can now scan the code to participate."
The QR code was projected on the big screen. Everyone took out their phones and started scanning the code.
Zhao Yi saw that Ren Ran still did not move. "Ranran, aren't you going to scan?"
"I'm afraid it's malicious."
As soon as she said this, Zhao Yi immediately put down her phone.
Guo Tongwen also put down her phone.
A few classmates sitting next to them, who were about to scan the code, also stopped their actions, not knowing whether to scan or not. Mao Zhen sat behind them, and naturally heard their conversation.
He quietly leaned forward and asked in a low voice, "Ren Ran, did you hear any rumors?"
A few people around pricked up their ears.
"I didn't hear any rumors, but it doesn't hurt to be careful. After all..." Ren Ran's voice trailed off.
They understood in seconds.
Zhao Yi and the others silently put away their phones.
Mao Zhen looked at the QR code on stage, then at Ren Ran. He was reluctant to give up such a generous prize, but in the end he also silently put away his phone.
Hundreds of people, drawing ten spots, might not even get drawn.
Oh well, better safe than sorry.
Kong Lian glanced at the screen from time to time, but did not see Ren Ran's account.
She did not participate after all.
Kong Lian regretted it in her heart.
"Has everyone scanned? I'll give you another five minutes. We'll start the lottery after five minutes."
After five minutes, the number of participants was still less than expected, with over a dozen missing.
Under urging from below, Kong Lian started the lottery.
After all ten lucky winners were drawn, the cruise ship successfully docked at the Mingshan Island Cruise Center pier.
A group of people happily disembarked. The butlers on the island handled luggage storage and check-in for everyone, and introduced the island's offerings in detail, thoughtfully providing maps, travel guides, etc.
The service was great, leaving everyone very satisfied.
After arriving on the island, Ren Ran followed Zhao Yi and her friends to play several watersports.
When it was time for dinner, Ren Ran directly asked the private butler, "I remember the island offers seafood dining on the ocean right?"
"Yes."
