Chapter 226 -226 No Way, Just That Smooth!

The two of them waited a bit longer when suddenly a loud shout erupted from the crowd in front of them, “Number eighty-seven! Does anyone want number eighty-seven?!”

This number is pretty good too…

Without a second thought, Wang Hao shouted a high bid, “Five thousand!”

Well, it should have been his by all rights, but unexpectedly, someone in front shouted, “Six thousand!”

Wang Hao took a closer look and immediately got furious!

It was those same three people from earlier!

“Bro,” Wang Hao pulled Jiang Feng and rushed over, saying, “What you’re doing here isn’t very honorable, is it?”

“Heh, can’t help it. My two friends also want to enter the contest,” the young man sneered, “If you want it, place a bid, okay?”

Looks like I’ve given you too much face!

Wang Hao gave a cold chuckle, “Fine, ten thousand.”

The young man: “Fifteen thousand.”

Wang Hao: “Twenty thousand.”

The young man obviously felt the pinch: “Twenty-five thousand.”

Wang Hao expressionless: “Thirty thousand.”

The young man, clenching his teeth: “Thirty-five thousand.”

Wang Hao: “Forty thousand.”

Even the guy selling the number was dumbfounded, “You guys… take it easy…” The surrounding crowd of onlookers was also stunned! They’re just too rich! A spot has gone up to forty thousand!

The young man finally stomped his foot: “Fifty thousand!”

Wang Hao chuckled, “Deal!” And then, wrapping his arm around the seller, “Mate, I helped you hype it up this high, should you give me a cut?”

The seller was ecstatic, “Split it, split it, definitely split it!”

“Heh heh,” Wang Hao looked at the young man, grinning said, “Come on, pay up. What are you waiting for? You’re not going back on your word, are you? Hey, you Zhonghai Music College students can’t do such dishonorable things.”

The surrounding crowd went wild, “Right, right, right, can’t do such dishonorable things!” “Hand over the money! Otherwise, what was the point of calling out the bids?!”

“That’s… that’s ruthless!” The young man was clearly pained, but with all eyes on him, and being a wealthy second generation, he really couldn’t afford to lose face, he directly added Wang Hao on WeChat for the transfer, and then glared at him fiercely, “We’ll see!”

Wang Hao first took a commission of twenty thousand from the seller, and then said cheerfully, “Planning on leaving already? Don’t rush off, I’ve got a good show for you.”

Saying so, he led Jiang Feng to the very front of the ticket-buying line and directly offered a thousand, “Bro, I’ll give you a thousand for your ticket, deal?”

“Sell, sell, sell!” The guy at the very front didn’t hesitate to hand over the ticket he had just gotten—earning eight hundred just for standing in line, only a fool wouldn’t sell!

Then, with the ticket in hand, Wang Hao went to draw a number, and as soon as the number he drew was handed to him—

Number eighty-eight!

Jiang Feng: “…”

The young man: “…”

The crowd of onlookers: “…”

“Heh heh,” Wang Hao waved the number in his hand triumphantly, “Actually, when a problem can be solved by ‘face,’ it works better than using money.”

Bro is on a lucky streak today, invincible! Bring on any number and I’ll take it down!

Mess with me and not only will I scam you out of fifty thousand, but two thousand of it will be a tribute to me! And then you’ll get a slap in the face from me too!

Can’t help it, I’m just that slick!

After a brief silence, the entire place exploded!

“Holy shit! He actually drew it! And it’s the most valuable one, number eighty-eight!”

“He’s so cool it’s unreal! Just casually picks one and wins!”

“He’s like a god or something. I reckon he doesn’t even have to do anything; just show his face here once a week and he could become a millionaire!”

The people around were all buzzing with conversation. The young man was so angry his face turned green, and he clenched his teeth fiercely, “Let’s go!”

“Aiyah, what’s the point of all this?” Wang Hao took a deep breath and was all swagger and cockiness, “You just had to think you could compete with Brother, huh? Acted tough, right? Got hurt, right? Tragic, right?”

Jiang Feng was totally shocked!

Brother Hao was simply amazing!

“Let’s go, time to turn the ticket,” Wang Hao said with a chuckle, pulling Jiang Feng along: “You should learn more from Brother—well, except for the whole face-showing thing.”

…

Meanwhile, after those three had left, the girl among them grumbled, “Yuanzhou, are we just going to let it go like this? That was fifty thousand yuan!”

The young man leading them trembled with rage, “Of course we can’t just let this go! Come on, I want to see what this guy is all about. Damn it, because he interrupted us like that, it’s unlikely we’ll even be able to buy a ticket within the top hundred slots now, shit!”

…

Wang Hao took Jiang Feng and the ticket seller to the place to turn the ticket. It was a small window, as not everyone needed to turn their ticket, and there were only about one or two hundred people in all, so it was much quieter here.

“Turning the ticket,” Wang Hao handed over his “eighty-eight number” ticket and smiled, “What do I need to give you?”

“Wow, that’s a nice number,” the clerk took the ticket and exclaimed in surprise, “Must’ve cost a pretty penny, huh?”

“A thousand yuan,” Wang Hao chuckled, “Just a token, really.”

“Impressive!” the clerk said in amazement, “Before, this ticket could have easily sold for five thousand yuan! Okay, just give me both the seller’s and the buyer’s ID cards, and the service fee will be three hundred.” After all, they were used to this business. Turning the ticket essentially meant that first someone would queue up to sign up and then draw lots. If they drew a good lot, they could use it themselves or sell it. If they chose to sell, the seller had to come in with the buyer to show agreement to the trade, then the ticket could be turned.

But of course, Wang Hao’s case was a bit special. He bought the number before the drawing…

Regardless, the turning went through smoothly.

Watching his name and a photocopy of his ID being tagged on the ticket, Jiang Feng exclaimed, “Brother Hao, you always get things done so smoothly! If it were me, I would’ve had to queue up for half a day.”

“Of course,” Wang Hao smiled, “Now you’ve got to put in the effort. Remember, this is an entrance fee of a thousand yuan. Sing your heart out, understand?”

Jiang Feng nodded fiercely, “Understood!”

As they were talking, suddenly someone snatched the ticket from Jiang Feng’s hands, and then they heard a familiar voice, “Yo, yo, yo, I was wondering who was entering the competition. Turns out to be Comrade Jiang Feng! Hahaha!”

Wang Hao and Jiang Feng turned to look and saw the young man holding the ticket, grinning at them and laughing.

“What, planning to rob us in plain sight?” Wang Hao said with a smirk, “That’s probably not going to work, as this ticket’s already marked.”

“Do I need to steal a ticket from someone who’s a perpetual loser?” The young man threw the ticket back to Jiang Feng and laughed, “I’ve heard of your ‘illustrious’ reputation at Zhonghai Music College. Perpetual loser, aren’t you? Isn’t this your fiftieth try? Always participating but never qualifying, such a pity, hahaha!”

Wang Hao: “…”

Holy shit, no wonder this guy’s so lacking in confidence—fifty times competing and fifty times defeated!

“I… I won’t fail again!” Jiang Feng was so angry his face flushed red, and he clenched his fists tightly, shouting, “I must prove to everyone, I can do it! I will definitely succeed! Music won’t reject me!”

Good kid, with that spirit, Brother’s got your back!

“Hahaha, buddy, music is about talent, not something you can just say you have,” the three of them laughed loudly. The young man said, “With your broken voice that sounds like a duck, what kind of song can you sing? Does spending more money make any difference?”

“What if my voice isn’t good?” Jiang Feng shouted, “Does that mean I can’t sing? Music is my life, it’s everything to me! I just love it, so what?!”

“Well said! A real man should have spirit like that!” Wang Hao slapped Jiang Feng’s shoulder hard, “Alright, no point in getting angry with them.” He looked at the three and smiled, “Give us your names. Jiang Feng doesn’t fight nameless opponents.”

“Haha, doesn’t fight nameless opponents,” the three laughed again, and the leader smirked, “Listen up, my name is Wei Yuanzhou, a powerhouse singer from Zhonghai Music College!” Another guy said, “My name is Zhang Hua!” The girl with a sly smile said, “I’m Su Hongye, hehe.”

“Wei Yuanzhou, Zhang Hua, Su Hongye, right?” Wang Hao pointed at each one in turn and then said, “Alright, you are destined to be the first wave of cannon fodder when our Jiang Feng makes his debut. Remember that!”
