Chapter 34: His First Pot of Gold
After Lin Zitan left the convenience store, he got on a bus again, but instead of going to school, he called Zhang Jing and asked him to help ask the teacher for a leave, saying that he had an upset stomach and went to the family doctor to see him. Zhang Jing knew that Lin Zitan's stomach was not good, and he thought it was a recurrence of the old disease, so he hurriedly agreed, and asked him to call if he had something.
Sitting on the bus nervously, I still felt very unreal in my heart, and I wanted to open my backpack to see if I was wrong, but I was worried about being seen. Lin Zitan first went to Da Mei Bank to open a savings account, and deposited all the red envelopes that Zhang Jing gave him yesterday and all the money he earned from the prize just now.
He used to use the supplementary card that his mother helped him do, and accumulated a little credit, and the bank staff asked him if he wanted to get a credit card, seeing that the time was still in a hurry, Lin Zitan opened a credit card with a limit of only 500 US dollars.
"As long as you spend every month and repay the loan in time, you can apply for a higher limit when your credit slowly accumulates!" the staff patiently explained to him.
"Okay, thank you, can this bank account be operated online?" Lin Zitan didn't know how the bank's network service was 10 years ago, so he asked in particular.
"Of course, you only need to log in to the portal of Da Mei Bank, register online with your bank card number and your own private information, it is very convenient now!" When the staff heard him mention the new business that their bank was promoting, they couldn't help but talk eloquently, and told him a lot of precautions for online banking, until Lin Zitan stood up to leave, and the staff was still patiently explaining.
"Thank you very much!" Lin Zitan said goodbye to the bank staff, raised his hand and looked at the sports watch on his wrist, the time was almost 10 o'clock, he originally wanted to take a taxi, but when he thought that the place he was going to was more sensitive, he gave up this idea, so he walked quickly to the bus stop, but after looking for a long time, he didn't find a bus on the way, hesitated for a while, and finally decided to take a taxi.
"Where are the lads going?"
The driver turned out to be a Chinese uncle, and the accent was still northern, so Lin Zitan said the specific address of the lotto bureau. The uncle was not very familiar with the place over there, so he stopped and entered the address on his external navigation system, which did not look very advanced, and responded that the navigation display was within 15 minutes for a long time.
However, the 15-minute drive here is actually not short, and it will take another half a day to turn around the wrong exit, so Lin Zitan is not in a hurry and waits for the uncle to adjust the navigation.
"Okay, let's go~ Isn't the young man going to school today?" The uncle saw that he was also Chinese, and he was carrying a schoolbag, so he inevitably wanted to say a few words.
"Uh, go do something!" Lin Zitan said lightly, but no one knew how nervous he was now, and he was afraid that the uncle would know that he was going to claim the prize, and he was afraid that it would be more embarrassing for the uncle to know about it when he arrived at the lotto game, so he replied succinctly.
"Oh, you should also go to high school, you have to be 1.8 meters tall like this!" The uncle saw that Lin Zitan didn't like to talk, so he was not discouraged, but made persistent efforts to continue talking.
"Well, 182!" Lin Zitan kept saying to himself calmly and calmly, for fear that he would be too nervous about the lottery.
"My son is also in the third year of junior high school this year, but he is not tall, it is estimated that with me, he is only more than 1.7 meters, which school are you in?" The uncle was not repelled by Lin Zitan's silence at all, but had a rare feeling of meeting his compatriots and being extremely enthusiastic.
"Uh... Lin Zitan thought that no one in the United States would clearly share his private information with a stranger, so he hesitated for a moment and did not answer.
The driver didn't care, and then said how long he had been in the United States, and he couldn't find a suitable job, and then he opened a rental bla bla, anyway, he said happily, Lin Zitan didn't bother, and after a while, more than ten minutes passed, and when he got off the car, the master also asked if he wanted to wait for him, Lin Zitan said that it might not be long, so he didn't have to wait, so he quickly got off the car and walked to the lotto bureau with a big lotto sign on it.
The driver stretched out his head and saw him going to the lotto bureau, and he was a little puzzled, thinking that such a young child does not go to school, how can he still run to this kind of DU Bo place, not to mention that it is class time, so thinking, the car stopped on the side of the road and quietly lit a cigarette to smoke, who knew that after smoking a cigarette did not see the forest come out, so the cigarette butt was lost, and the car was gone.
In the United States, everyone is too busy to take care of themselves, and even if the uncle wants to say that he will wait for the child to come out and persuade him, he can think that which child who can usually come to the United States to go to school is not rich in the family? When I first saw that this young man's clothes were all brand-name goods, how could he have the leisure time to the heart of the rich second generation of other people! I couldn't help but feel a little funny about my own meddling.
Lin Zi delayed the lotto game, the time was almost 11 o'clock, and a foreigner was talking to the staff about something, Lin Zitan silently looked at the layout inside, and paid attention to the instructions for redeeming the prize.
It said that he would write his name on the back of his winning ticket in case he lost it, Lin Zi thought that he didn't expect this layer, so he took out a pen from his schoolbag, and then carefully took out the jackpot ticket from the pocket of his down jacket.
This time, Lin Zitan did not confirm the winning amount first, but wrote his name on the back very quickly, as if he was afraid of being snatched away, saw the address bar, and silently wrote the address as Zhang Jing's family, so as not to know any problems in the future by Li Manrui. After doing all this, Lin Zitan turned over the lottery ticket and nervously confirmed the winning amount again and again, and then looked up to look at the staff who were already waiting there.
“May I help you?” The staff saw the teenager just now, but they didn't know what he was doing, and they couldn't help but feel funny when they saw him solemnly sign the back of the ticket.
"I'll claim the prize!" Lin Zitan said, handing him the signed ticket.
The staff's funny expression just now immediately turned into surprise the second he saw the lottery ticket handed to him by Lin Zitan, he really didn't expect Lin Zitan to be so calm with a lottery ticket with a prize of 500,000.
He looked up at Lin Zitan, and then took the lottery ticket to the scanning code of the machine and scanned it, "ding~" sound, it was the sound of winning. At this time, another staff member standing not far away also came over with interest and asked how many in Spanish?
The staff holding Lin Zitan's lottery ticket was stunned and said, "500,000 US dollars." ”
The man immediately said, "Really?" and reached out to take the lottery ticket, looking at Lin Zitan with a calm expression in disbelief. In fact, Lin Zitan's calmness is all pretended!
“How old are you ?” The second staff member asked.
"18" Lin Zi replied, and took out his driver's license from his pocket, and the date of birth on it was only one day earlier than today's date.
“You, lucky boy!”
The second staff member said. So the next two people went inside to ask the supervisor, and another staff member called him to a cubicle, explained to him what taxes and fees must be deducted according to the regulations, and finally calculated, and then the supervisor signed, and handed Lin Zitan a check for 316,520.
The check had Lin Zitan's name written on it, and the staff told him that he could use it and deposit it into his bank account at any time.
Before leaving, Lin Zitan told the staff in Spanish that he hoped they could keep his win a secret, because he didn't want more people to know about it, so as not to cause trouble for himself.
The second staff member heard that he was able to talk to them so fluently in Spanish, and that he was a little embarrassed to secretly speak to his colleagues in Spanish, so he promised again and again that he would respect his privacy and would not disclose his information. He was advised to deposit the check into a bank account nearby.
Lin Zi thanked him for his delay, folded the check and put it in the place where he had just loaded the lottery ticket, and turned around and left with light steps, leaving the two young staff members looking at each other for a long time.
"Ah! Finally rich!" Lin Zitan couldn't help but want to shout as soon as he walked out of the lotto game, but he looked at the area around that was not prosperous, and then turned his head around to look for the bank that the staff said just now, and walked over quickly, fortunately, this is still the bank he just opened an account, and his first pot of gold can finally be settled, Lin Zitan is indescribably excited at the moment!
