Yet he only became more determined with every setback, resulting in him once losing to the point of not having a single pair of pants left.
Though the stakes today were not small, he could still afford to buy these goods in one breath. He was determined to win back a round and thus readily agreed to the bet.
"Young Master Zui, when have you not said that?" his friends laughed.
"Hmph, one day I will win against all of you," Chen Zui said.
As expected, he lost.
"Young Master Zui, you've lost again. Before, when others said you had bad luck, I didn't believe it. I never imagined you could be so unlucky; you've probably never even won a small prize since you were little."
Having said that, those brothers couldn't help but burst into belly laughter.
They had seen unlucky people, but they had never seen someone this unlucky, and this unlucky fellow was their brother.
Chen Zui, not willing to give up, said, "Again."
"Let's bet on something else this time," he added.
"Bet on what?" one of the brothers asked.
Chen Zui paused for a few seconds, then a brother at his side said, "When I was coming over just now, it looked like it was about to rain outside. Let's bet on whether it will rain today or not."
The others' eyes lit up, "Good, that's a nice suggestion."
Then, all of them went outside together.
At this moment, the sky was covered with thick clouds, and a heavy rain was about to fall.
"Brother, we've been good to you this time, haven't we? We'll give you the choice; you pick first."
Chen Zui looked at the weather; it was quite obvious by now. He said, "I choose that it will rain."
"Then we'll choose that it won't rain." They wanted to see just how far Chen Zui's bad luck could go.
Then, several people stood outside patiently waiting. One minute passed, several minutes passed, and the rain that was about to fall seemed reluctant to drop.
After that, more than ten minutes passed, the clouds in the sky grew denser, and the wind howled fiercely.
One of the brothers exclaimed excitedly, "It's going to rain, it's going to rain. Ha-ha, Young Master Zui, I told you that you couldn't possibly be this unlucky."
However, the next second, the sky suddenly cleared, and the wind stopped.
The brothers, "..."
Chen Zui, "..."
"...Young Master Zui, really sorry about that. We wanted to let you win, but you still couldn't win," the brothers came over one by one, patting his shoulder.
Chen Zui, "..."
"Young Master Zui, a bet is a bet. Time to buy the stuff."
The group re-entered the bar; they had made this bet because they wanted to see the reaction of the people in the live stream. Selling out the goods in a minute would definitely be shocking.
Chen Zui opened his phone to the first live stream selling goods, where a video of a girl taste-testing dried fish appeared. As soon as she put up the link, he immediately bought everything.
When she posted the link for the lipstick, he swiftly bought that too.
The brothers crowded around to see the barrage of comments on his phone screen.
"Inviting Wealth Persona? Is that referring to this girl?" one brother asked.
"What Inviting Wealth Persona, that's just a fluke. If it wasn't for Young Master Zui buying everything, how could she be so lucky to sell out all her goods?" another brother said dismissively.
Chen Zui's eyes were fixed on the girl; he remembered seeing a trending topic about stones yielding gems sometime earlier, which seemed to involve this same girl...
"Forget it, forget it. This is pointless. I thought their focus would be on us by now, but none of them even care," the brother grumbled, sitting down on the couch and downing a glass of wine.
The food variety show had already started broadcasting.
Fans had their stools ready and were waiting in front of their computers and phones.
A stream of comments flew across the screen, many of which belonged to Chen Fei's fans.
When they saw Jin Luo appear, the comments started again, with some disgruntled haters always having to say a few words to express their dissatisfaction with Jin Luo.
[Everyone else is introducing themselves, and she's dozing off.]
In the living room, the nine guests were meeting for the first time and were a bit reserved.
[My Xiaolei is talking to her, and she puts on an aloof demeanor for whom exactly?]
In the room, Li Xiaolei greeted Jin Luo warmly.
However, the person who posted that comment was quickly proven wrong, as Li Xiaolei and Jin Luo quickly became good friends.
Arriving at Food City, the fans saw Jin Luo's group entering a grilled fish restaurant that was struggling with its business.
The lady boss had a sour and mean demeanor and not a smile to be seen.
[With such a lady boss, no wonder the business is bad, I wouldn't go to eat at her place either.]
It wasn't until Jin Luo and her company came in that Jin Luo's gaze fell upon a ceramic Fortune Cat on the counter.
Her eyes lit up, and she walked over saying, "Do you like Fortune Cats?"
Upon hearing Jin Luo's words, the lady boss responded, "If a Fortune Cat could really bring wealth, who wouldn't like it?"
"They can bring wealth, especially if the Fortune Cat itself is present to help you attract wealth."
The person herself? The lady boss thought she had misheard. Was she getting old and no longer understood what young girls were talking about?
"With me here, your business will soon improve," Jin Luo said confidently, patting her chest.
Looking at the simple and pretty young girl in front of her, the lady boss's tone softened a lot, "Young lady, what do you mean by...?"
"Your fish smells delicious," Jin Luo's nose picked up the appetizing scent wafting from the kitchen.
"Your chef is grilling fish now, right?"
The lady boss said, "You have a really keen nose, young lady."
Jin Luo smiled and replied, "Because your fish smells so good, there will be lots of customers coming in to eat."
Upon hearing this, the originally somewhat intimidating face of the lady boss immediately brightened up with a smile, "You really have a way with words, young lady."
"It's just that the business at my restaurant has never been very good."
Jin Luo fiddled with the ceramic Fortune Cat on the counter, "If you want to attract wealth, you need to be sincere."
She stood next to the ceramic Fortune Cat on the counter, raised her right paw, and began chanting, "Summon with the right hand, wealth will roll in."
Then she raised her other paw, "Summon with the left hand, more blessings abound, more sources of fortune."
After completing this set of actions, she lowered her hand, "There you go, your business will start booming from now on."
At that moment, everyone in the grilled fish restaurant, including Chen Yousheng and Li Xiaolei, was stunned by her actions.
What is Sister Jin Luo doing? Imitating a Fortune Cat?
Did she think she was a Fortune Cat herself?
The lady boss was stunned as well, but she was grateful for the young girl's gesture. Just as she hadn't yet had the chance to thank the young girl, a group of men and women suddenly entered the restaurant.
Seeing the empty restaurant, they wondered if they'd gone to the wrong place, "Huh, the fish smells really good here, why aren't there any customers?"
Next to the lady boss, Jin Luo smiled and said, "You should smile more, it'll make the business better and better."
The lady boss was not naturally inclined to smile, even when her own husband pointed it out, she often failed to do so. However, today she felt the young girl's words had a kind of magic to them, and she found herself smiling involuntarily.
She hurried towards the entrance with a smile, "Please come in and have a seat, what would you like to eat?"
