Chapter 2 1! 1
Chapter 2 1! 1
After watching the commotion for a while, Chen Jiang suddenly realized something was a little late in the day.
I had just gotten divorced that morning, and then my ex-husband got into a car accident at noon and his whole family was wiped out. I was even at the scene watching. If the police found out, I would definitely be a suspect.
Although he swears he didn't do it, it would still be troublesome if they found out he was involved.
Thinking of this, Chen Jiang quickly called the waiter to pack up all the leftover food, found his car, and drove home.
However, as it turns out, being afraid of trouble is useless.
Less than an hour later, Chen Jiang received a call from a police officer, xxx, who wanted to confirm some information with him.
Having no other choice, Chen Jiang reluctantly drove out again and went to the police station.
Fortunately, although based on the known information, Chen Jiang had a motive, after careful questioning and confirmation, he was successfully cleared of all suspicion.
"It's finally over. What bad luck! Even though we're divorced, this kind of mess still happened to me."
After walking out of the police station, Chen Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head, and was about to turn and leave.
Unexpectedly, someone happened to pass by behind him. Before he knew it, Chen Jiang bumped into this person. When he looked up, he saw that it was a middle-aged man in a police uniform with a refined and handsome face.
This was clearly a leader, so Chen Jiang quickly apologized.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't notice you behind me. I hope you weren't hurt?"
The middle-aged man also had a good personality; although he was accidentally hit, he simply waved his hand dismissively.
"It's alright, young man, I'm not that fragile."
Chen Jiang wanted to ask more, but before he could speak, he heard another voice from behind the middle-aged man:
"Dad, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing." The middle-aged man stepped aside, revealing Chen Jiang: "He bumped into this young man, it's nothing serious."
Chen Jiang also looked over during the gap and was somewhat surprised.
The middle-aged man's daughter was surprisingly beautiful.
Even though she's just wearing ordinary sportswear, her tall figure, outstanding looks, and short hair make her very eye-catching.
Anyway, Chen Jiang had only seen similar pretty girls in online live streaming rooms. But those who know, know, that online beauties are different from real people. And this one wasn't wearing any heavy makeup, so the difference was quite obvious.
Besides, just look at the handsome middle-aged man next to her; this beautiful woman must have a good foundation.
"Oh." The short-haired beauty glanced at Chen Jiang, not paying much attention, and walked past him. "Then I'll go on patrol first. You should go back after you're done with your inspection, otherwise people will start gossiping again."
The middle-aged man's face fell in embarrassment.
"Okay, I understand, alright?"
The short-haired beauty ignored him and walked straight into the police station.
The middle-aged man watched his daughter go inside before turning back to Chen Jiang with a smile.
"Alright, it's really nothing, young man. I'm not that fragile. You can go now."
"Oh, okay! I'm really sorry!"
Chen Jiang also came to his senses, apologized twice, and turned to leave, secretly marveling at himself.
It's true that people can't be compared. Not only is he good-looking, but just by looking at the father, you can tell that his family is quite well-off.
I wonder what kind of person could marry a woman like that...
"Sigh, what's the point of thinking about all this... I should focus on finding a job first."
Chen Jiang shook his head, and as he walked towards the parking lot, he took out his phone to calculate the bill.
The house should no longer need to be divided, which saves him a lot of money and energy, and can be considered a way to put an end to his troubles during this period.
However, his work has been going poorly these past few years. In addition, he had to pay for a house, renovations, wedding dowry, and his mother's medical expenses. All the money he had saved from his work, including his mother's savings for her funeral, had been spent.
Now, with the money on my phone and in my bank account, I only have a few thousand yuan left.
Fortunately, he has a small home in this city, otherwise he might not have been able to make ends meet for even a month... But even so, he has to find a new job as soon as possible, otherwise he will have trouble even eating.
"However, finding a suitable job is difficult these days..."
As Chen Jiang walked into the parking lot, he put his phone in his pocket. Just as he reached his Volkswagen and was about to open the door, he saw a card lying on the windshield.
I thought it was some small item, but when I picked it up, it turned out to be a lottery ticket for the Double Color Ball lottery. I glanced at the date and it was for today, so the draw hadn't happened yet.
"How did this thing get on my car?"
This was an unexpected surprise, and Chen Jiang was delighted.
Even if it's worthless, it's still like finding money, which is a lucky thing for someone who's been having bad luck lately.
Unfortunately, the lottery results wouldn't be announced until tomorrow morning. He smiled, casually put the ticket in his pocket, and planned to check again tomorrow morning. Then he got in his car and headed home.
He got a divorce in the morning, witnessed a car accident at noon, and spent half the afternoon at the police station. After a whole day of this, Chen Jiang was indeed a bit tired.
Back home, I heated up the food I had packed for lunch, ate and drank my fill, took a hot shower, and then lay back in bed watching short videos. Before I knew it, I was getting sleepy.
Chen Jiang casually tossed his phone aside, closed his eyes, and let himself be enveloped by drowsiness.
"All the bad luck is over. Hopefully, starting tomorrow, my luck will change..."
......
When I woke up again, it was already past eight o'clock in the morning.
For modern people, this time is not considered late. The sun is shining brightly outside the window. Chen Jiang got up, washed up, made himself some rice porridge for breakfast, and started calling his friends and former colleagues to ask if there were any suitable jobs available.
Unfortunately, just as he had expected, things weren't going well lately, and jobs were indeed hard to find.
After several unsuccessful phone calls, Chen Jiang sighed. There was nothing he could do. If he couldn't get a referral, he would have to go for interviews, but that would be like finding a needle in a haystack, and he didn't know when he would find a suitable candidate.
"Forget it, there's no use in being anxious. Let's take a look first."
As I was thinking about it, I decided to have a cigarette. I picked up the jacket I wore yesterday, rummaged around for a bit but couldn't find any. Instead, I unexpectedly pulled out the lottery ticket from last night.
"Oh dear, I'd completely forgotten about this."
Chen Jiang was delighted and quickly took out his phone to check yesterday's winning numbers.
After all, it's free. Even winning five or ten yuan would make people happy.
However, for some reason, the lottery query website seemed to be a bit slow today. Chen Jiang had to refresh it several times before he could finally get in.
看了一眼网站上的中奖号码:「02、13、15、23、27、31、16......」
Looking again at the numbers on his lottery ticket, Chen Jiang's lips suddenly trembled slightly:
「02、13、15、23、27、31、16......」
"I...I didn't see wrong, did I?"
"Let me confirm again!"
Carefully placing the lottery ticket next to his phone, Chen Jiang compared it again to confirm the numbers were correct. Then, his mind went blank, his eyes only seeing the string of winning numbers:
"Ten million!!"
Ta-da!
Suddenly, the phone rang, pulling Chen Jiang back from his reverie. He slowly picked up the phone, answered it, and held it to his ear. It was his best friend Zhang Jie's voice on the other end:
"Jiang Zi, I asked around for you, and your sister-in-law has a network maintenance job that you can do."
"However, the probationary period salary is a bit low, only around six thousand a month. Do you want to give it a try?"
Chen Jiang was silent for a few seconds, picked up the lottery ticket, sighed deeply, and said in a low voice:
"Thanks, Brother Jie, but no need."
"Really, it's not necessary... I'll hang up now, we can talk later..."
