Chapter 36: Fifth Place?

On the evening of the 11th, all the competitions have ended, and tomorrow is the closing ceremony, and many people in the city hall are relieved.

During the day, Su Mu had been busy with Grandma Lin's relief money, and he almost forgot to bet, and during the meal, he heard the news on the radio that the Los Angeles Olympics were all over, and his heart instantly panicked.

The full amount of $4,250 was a bet, and the $250 was given by William Hill Gaming Company, even if he lost, he didn't care, but the other $4,000 was taken out of Su Mu's own private money, which meant that most of his net worth was invested in this Olympic betting.

Because he has already received three thousand five hundred dollars, even if he loses this time, he will make money, but if the money is in his pocket, no one wants to lose it again, Su Mu does not have much money, and the result this time is related to his "net worth", and suddenly he has no appetite, and his heart is in his throat.

Four thousand dollars is not much, it is not too little, there is always a chance to earn it back in the future, but if the result is expected to be different, it means that the news heard from the radio broadcast is incorrect, this is the most important aspect of Su Mu, all the original ideas must be overturned, and his life must return to the original trajectory, and he will be an ordinary person honestly.

Self-doubt in the heart.

For example, Li Ning, a gymnast who participated in the Olympics and won three gold medals, according to the radio, he would start a clothing company in the future, and he also successfully came to New York, USA to hold an eye-catching catwalk.

Suffering from gains and losses is a character that everyone will have, Su Mu is no exception, his head is too chaotic to think objectively, the fragrant dumplings taste the same as chewing wax in his mouth, and he is so nervous that cold sweat breaks out on his back, and he is blown by an electric fan, and it is cold to the bottom of his heart......

Old man Su just came back from work, sat at the table to eat after taking a shower, the soapy smell made him comfortable, and the car was stuffy on the way back from the bus, and the whole person seemed to be rancid.

Seeing that his grandson was absent-minded, Old Man Su opened his mouth and asked him: "I just met Old Lady Lin who sells zongzi on the road, she told me, are you helping her ask for money?"

I also sent more than 10 zongzi to our family, and when I gave her money, I refused to ask for it, saying that it was whether I would like to thank you whether it was a CD or not, what is going on, is it possible that someone buys her zongzi and does not give money?

At this moment, a voice came over the radio and said: "This time the United States is the first in the total medal table, and the second place is Romania, which we did not expect, the total number of medals of the Federal Republic of Germany is fifty-nine, followed by Italy, China, Canada, ......."

Hearing this, Su Mu felt dizzy in his mind, just thinking that the whole four thousand dollars were gone, and the private money he had saved for so long and counted so many times was gone, in exchange for just a useless lottery ticket.

Working for a month and a half, you get a salary of more than 1,000 US dollars, which means that you have worked in vain these days, and you still need to continue to work part-time for a long time, it may take three or four months to earn this money back, and subconsciously think that the information on the radio is also fictional, and all the previous positive ideas are all overturned at this moment.

Grandpa's concerned voice came from his ears, Su Mu took a few deep breaths, and then squeezed out his face, slightly reluctant, and said, "I'm fine, I may have a cold, just sleep and cover it at night."

No one doesn't give Grandma Lin money, but it can also be said that she can get the social security living allowance in her case, but she hasn't gotten it all these years, and I'm helping to get the money.

When you're full, go back to your room and sleep first, and I'll talk to you later......"

Seeing that her son Su Mu was abnormal, Su Mu's mother was going to follow her to take a look, but her husband Su Dingcai stopped him: "Let him go to sleep first, and then wake up and give him cold medicine to drink."

Haha, it's still my son who is amazing, this character is too upright, like me. ”

"Is that a good thing?"

Old man Su asked rhetorically, he had lived a hard life, but his thoughts were different, and he continued: "It's not good to be too straight, I hope to be able to be smooth, so that it will not be easy to suffer losses in the future." ”

"Dad, don't talk about this crooked reasoning, how can you educate your children like this......"

The sky didn't fall, but it was enough to make Su Mu listless and fall into a confused and panicked situation.

Four thousand dollars, such a thick stack, nothing to do is just gone, regret is of course, if you lose, you lose, you can't get the money back, he can only lie in bed and open his eyes to let himself accept the reality, and try to comfort himself that he has earned more than three thousand dollars after all.

What makes Su Mu feel sad the most, not because he lost the bet, compared to the news he knows, this money is nothing, if those who heard the content from the radio are true, he can buy lottery tickets from major companies, go to the so-called "land king" in Huaxia to buy a house and invest in waiting for future appreciation, you can invest in Intel, Apple, Wal-Mart and other companies.

Maybe you can start your own company, but knowing that you will succeed in these fields in the future, you can break in and give it a try.

It's a pity that now, Su Mu, who doubted again, didn't plan to do that, Xu Haifeng won the gold medal before, but it was just a coincidence, and his life seemed to lose color all of a sudden, so he couldn't lie in bed and accept the cruel reality that "he is not special".

In addition to going to the toilet, Su Mu stayed in his room at other times, and his mother helped him brew a cup of cold medicine, maybe because the cold medicine had a hypnotic effect, anyway, Su Mu, who originally thought that he would definitely not be able to sleep tonight, soon fell asleep heartlessly......

I had a nightmare at night.

When he got up in the morning, Su Mu hoped that the news that Huaxia was ranked fifth in the gold medal list was simply his own dream, but unfortunately after waking up, he realized that it was all the real thing, and the money was gone.

sighed deeply, the days still have to go on, fortunately, my parents don't know the existence of this private money, just bury it in their hearts and bear it, otherwise they will definitely be beaten.

Cheer yourself up, ready to use a study time to work, and earn the money back, yesterday Boss Han said to let him take a holiday, but today is the weekend, the people from the Social Security Administration do not work, and they are idle at home, and finally decided to go to the convenience store to help.

Su Mu was allowed to go out after being poured a big bowl of cold medicine by his father again, and he walked listlessly on the road, this frustration would not disappear for a while, and his mind was full of the four thousand dollars.

When he came to the convenience store, Su Mu opened his mouth and said to Boss Han, who was brushing his teeth: "Good morning, I went to fill out the form yesterday, today they have a holiday, I will wait for them to go to work and then go to help her ask for money."

Let's go back to work today, it's the last day, do a good job. ”

"What for!?"

Boss Han suddenly screamed, and the foam in his mouth flew out, making Su Mu tremble in fright.

I heard him continue to shout: "Hahahaha! Lao Tzu finally earned it this time, I bought 200 dollars for the third place and 300 dollars for the fourth place!

Don't work today!Take you to the west and help me find a good place, I haven't slept all night, I think you said the supermarket yesterday is very reliable!

Let's go and see if there is a suitable store, and we are going to invest some money in one, isn't it just a larger convenience store, even if we lose money, we can't lose much......"
