After dinner, Chen Heming accompanied his girlfriend to self-study in the evening. The poor medical students are like ascetics, who don't have time to go out and play, and seize all the time to study.

Pan Ye was quite satisfied with her boyfriend who was obediently sitting next to her and looking down at a book. In the past, Chen Heming either went to play football at night, or disappeared, and rarely sat honestly in the study room to read a book.

It's a pity that this little girl who was carried away by love didn't find out that someone's book hadn't turned a page for a long time, the body was there, but the soul was not.

Chen Heming looked at the professional books in front of him that he had read in his previous life, and he was not interested at all. He wants to sleep more now, but as soon as he closes his eyes, the little girl next to him will be angry, and the female student always hopes that she and the people around her have a fighting spirit.

Chen Heming wailed in his heart: "What is the use of me fighting this time?"

The screen shifts to Kecheng.

At this time, the Chen Family Restaurant was overcrowded, and even on the sidewalk and small parking lot outside the hotel, there were diners sitting around the table, grabbing a crayfish in one hand and eating wildly.

Lu Weihong commanded in the center, the whole hotel was busy but not chaotic, and the cashier work was handed over to an old treasurer who had just been dug up today, or a relative of the Chen family.

Chen Baolin is counting the ingredients, which is not enough to let the wholesaler deliver in time, the restaurant has sold 1,300 catties of crayfish today, and several lobster traders are smiling from ear to ear, with small profits and quick turnover, a top two.

The second uncle Chen Baogang was promoted to the head chef, leading the other 5 chefs to go all out, and for a while, the sound of stir-frying in the kitchen was in full swing.

Also smiling from ear to ear is the draught beer distributor.

Two employees, a man and a woman, were specially sent to the store to help, the man was responsible for delivering wine, the woman was responsible for sales, and even the work of making ice cubes in the restaurant was taken over, and Lu Honghong immediately added a large freezer to make ice. Because the profit is drawn by the barrel, the two staff members are enthusiastic.

Because the business was too hot, Chen Baolin directly raised his salary by 50%, and promised to pay bonuses at the end of the month, and suddenly recruited 6 waiters and 2 chefs from other restaurants, and the small workers who picked vegetables and washed dishes were all temporarily recruited from the village, young people were unwilling to do it, and middle-aged women had a lot to do.

It's supper time, and the diners who come here just to taste the new ones are still coming.

Several ingredient vendors have also been occupying a table and eating crayfish while observing the traffic of the Chen Family Restaurant. Today, they came here to see how much sales they could sell in a day, and they could go back to stock up.

Jiangsu and Zhejiang people, whether they are bosses or waiters, are willing to work and are not afraid of hardship, and their minds are flexible enough, and they are united and rich.

When the financial department cleared the accounts before leaving work, it was found that today's turnover reached more than 70,000. Calculate the gross profit, and make Chen's father and Chen's mother excitedly want to laugh three times. Lu Weihong immediately called his son and told him about today's results.

Chen Heming was also very happy: "Mom, what else do you think I am reading, how good is it to be a rich second-generation small boss with peace of mind?"

"Are you satisfied with this achievement? Didn't you say that you want to do business all over the world and become a restaurant giant? I still want to be a giant mother. ”

The mother and son giggled on the phone for a long time.

After making the call, Chen Heming said to the three roommates in the dormitory: "Let's go, go for supper, I'll have a treat." ”

After a heated discussion among the four brothers, Pan Ye and Li Lele were called on the phone, and they decided to go to have a good meal together and make a certain little boss bleed.

North Gate casserole wontons, one person and one bottle of fat boy happy water. Well, it's not that Chen Heming is stingy, it's really that the neighborhood around the university is mainly snacks, and if you want to eat abalone and sea cucumber, you have to have a place to eat.

The college campus in this era was relatively simple, unlike some college students in later generations, who dared to shout "My dad is XX" when they hit someone in a car.

The business of the Chen Family Hotel is booming day by day, and the relationship with Pan Ye is also developing steadily, and everything is calm, but Chen Heming knows that the day when he digs up the first pot of gold is coming soon.

Chen Heming buys a lot of sports newspapers every day to research.

In fact, it's not a study, he just wants to see which of the 32 teams are and whether the football stars are the ones in his memory. When he was sure that the top 8 teams in his memory in his previous life were all there, he let go of half of his heart.

Every night during self-study, Pan Ye was reading a book, and Chen Heming was reading the newspaper next to him. Pan Ye knew that his boyfriend was a fan, and it was normal to read sports newspapers during the World Cup, so he decided to give him a few days to relax.

Her personality doesn't put love and love on her lips, and she hardly is coquettish, but she actually cares about Chen Heming's company in her heart.

During the day, Chen Heming often chatted with his classmates about football during class, and sometimes he was red-faced, in the eyes of outsiders, this is a fan who loves football and the World Cup.

Chen Heming has a computer in his bedroom, and he often posts on the Tianya forum about which teams are optimistic about the World Cup.

Basically, whether it is classmates or forums, the optimistic teams are dominated by traditional strong teams.

For example, the defending champion France last year, the dark horse Croatia team that won the semi-finals, the traditional powerhouses Brazil and Argentina, and several national teams famous for the five major leagues such as England, Spain, Italy, and Germany.

As for the Chinese team, well, the newspapers and forums are very confident, thinking that it is not a big problem to enter the round of 16 rematch, except for the Brazilian team in the same group, the other two teams are weak chickens.

What Turkey? How many people is this-stirring country in the Middle East?

Costa Rica, where the hell is this place, Africa?

Fans across the country are blindly optimistic, but Chen Heming pouted and was very disdainful.

In the 02 World Cup, the Chinese team, and later 5 or 6 people were imprisoned for match-fixing.

The biggest dark horse stick team, at least 99.9% of fans before the game thought that it was a soy sauce character, whether from a technical analysis or purely from the perspective of national emotion, Chinese fans are not optimistic about this team.

The national football team's Koreanphobia was particularly serious in those years, and the baseball team was also promoted to the title of the most hated team by Chinese fans.

Chen Heming, whether in school or on the forum, insisted that the stick team would definitely enter the quarterfinals or even the semifinals this time.

The reason is that the stick is the host this time, and the host has always been taken care of by the referee. There is also the fact that the stick team is very dirty, likes to play off-field tricks, and likes violence on the field, so it is possible to advance by dishonorable means.

In the end, I have to admit that the barbaric spirit of the baseball players who can't run to death is still easy to drag those technical teams to death.

As soon as the post was posted, it was immediately sprayed as a fool by netizens across the country. Almost all the replies are scolding the landlord for being stupid X, and he is actually optimistic about the stick team?

Alas, what's going on, there were so many trolls in 2002?

But Chen Heming doesn't care, what he wants is this effect, the bigger the controversy, the more fierce he scolds himself, the safer he will be in the future.

At that moment, Chen Heming looked at the computer, as if he was possessed by the taekwondo elder brother in Stephen Chow's movie "The King of Destruction":

"Don't... Don't get me wrong, I'm not targeting you, I'm saying that all of you are rubbish. Hum. ”

On May 18, 2002, the World Cup quarterfinals football lottery was officially put on sale in the country.

One morning,North gate of Yuezhou University,Agricultural Bank next door lottery shop proprietress Zeng Qin is busy printing lottery tickets,Today's World Cup football lottery tickets are officially on sale,Business is much better than usual.

Suddenly, Zeng Qin saw a person dressed like an ordinary student walk into the lottery shop.

As soon as the boy entered the store, he first stood in the corner without saying a word, secretly aimed at the lottery machine, listened to the comments of other lottery players, and then touched his pocket.

After about ten minutes, the timid boy walked up to Zeng Qin, and in a voice that only Zeng Qin could hear, said weakly: "Boss, I, I want to buy a lottery ticket." ”

Zeng Qin squinted at the boy: "What kind of lottery ticket do you want to buy?

"I buy the World Cup football quarterfinals, buy a bet ......"

"Buy a bet?"

Zeng Qin's disgust was written on his face and covered it, and he thought to himself: "Sure enough, I'm not mistaken, it's a red guy who wants to get rich all day long." ”

The boy handed Zeng Qin the number coded on behalf of the team, and Zeng Qin looked at it: "Brazil, France, Argentina, Germany, England, Spain, Italy, Portugal." ”

It's all a strong team.

Zeng Qin has sold lottery tickets for so many years, and he knows the law of lottery winning, if he buys all the strongest teams, it is strange that he can win money. Let's not talk about the occasional factor of football matches, and if you can't explain it clearly on a match-fixing issue, foreign "spinach" companies will not let the strong teams win all.

The boy gave 2 yuan, took the lottery ticket, and quickly left with a nervous face, as if someone was going to steal his lottery ticket.

For the next few days, Zeng Qin could see the boy every day.

Sometimes you buy one bet, sometimes you buy two bets, sometimes you buy three bets, and the number of purchases varies every day. The selection of teams varies from day to day, and it is not uncommon for underdogs to enter the quarterfinals.

But the strange thing is that he likes to double a single bet, he should be a rookie, he doesn't understand the rules of the game, and he can't guess the result of doubling a hairy use.

Until May 26, after 10 o'clock in the morning on Sunday, the weather was clear.

This boy has come to the lottery shop for the 9th day in a row, Zeng Qin is too lazy to pay attention to him now, and he chats with other old lottery players.

Today the boy did not come alone, but with a good-looking girl.

After entering the door, the two were head to head and didn't know what they were talking about, and then the boy came to the lottery printer and handed the top eight numbers prepared in advance to Zeng Qin.

Zeng Qin looked at the crumpled piece of paper with an impatient expression.
