On May 27, Liao Fanmin went to work, and his job was still the seventh secretary.

After returning, I rested for three days.

Liao Fanmin didn't have much time to rest, Qin Yuhua and Liu Shijie both reported to him a lot of situations, and they were not trivial, Qin Yuhua reported on the staffing and training of hotel, office building and shop management personnel, and Liu Shijie talked about the county and city delivery outlets to join.

After careful consideration, Liao Fanmin finally made the decision to put Liao Fugui in charge of hotel management.

This is obviously not the best choice, in terms of management ability, Liao Fugui may have a certain gap, but after so many years of building, Liao Fugui has already undergone earth-shaking changes.

According to Liao Fugui's ability, there is not much problem in maintaining the operation of the hotel, and it is difficult to innovate.

Liao Fanmin also has no choice, which is tantamount to putting another layer of task on himself, that is, worrying about the business of the hotel.

Fortunately, Liao Fanmin transferred Zeng Fuguang to assist Liao Fugui, and his real favorite candidate is Zeng Fuguang, but unfortunately Zeng Fuguang's experience is obviously insufficient, and it still needs a period of time to build and cultivate.

The atmosphere of the Seventh Division of the Secretary became delicate again.

After Liao Fanmin went to work, Sun Ganxin and Xia Xinpeng rarely arranged work tasks, and Dai Guizhou couldn't speak, which made Liao Fanmin quite helpless, but he was able to adapt to this change.

May passed quickly and the weather gradually became hotter.

A wave of football fever swept in, and the Korea-Japan World Cup opened on May 31.

China entered the World Cup and were placed in Group C, alongside Brazil, Turkey and Costa Rica.

Carrying the craze of World Cup qualifying, fans have high hopes for the Chinese team, and the national team coach Milu also has high hopes, and the national team at that time set a goal that is quite heroic, or to score a goal, or to accumulate a point, or to win.

As a result, Liao Fanmin was cleared, and the national football team lost all three games, conceding nine goals and scoring zero goals, the so-called "three battles and three long sighs, nine goals and nine sad songs".

It can't be said that the national football team can't do it, the players have tried their best, but the gap between the national football team and the world's top teams is too big, especially in the game against the Brazilian team.

Although he knew the ending, Liao Fanmin still had to watch the game carefully, but he had some strange feelings in his heart, would he make some changes in the World Cup because of his rebirth.

The 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup is known as the ugliest World Cup, and the two most famous black whistles are from this World Cup, one is the South Korean team against the Italian team, and the other is the South Korean team against the Spanish team.

This time in the World Cup, Liao Fanmin's impression was very deep, before he was reborn, like many enthusiastic fans, he cared about the national football team beyond the ordinary, even if the national football team lost three games, he still chose to support the national football team.

For Chinese fans, the South Korea and Japan World Cup does not need to stay up late, and can sit at home and drink beer and nibble on chicken legs to enjoy it easily, which is rare, and this is the first time that the World Cup has been held in Asia.

Before the World Cup in South Korea and Japan opened, betting began on the Internet.

If you can guess the champion team, you may get a prize of 1,000 yuan, if you can guess the champion and runner-up, you may get a bonus of 2,000 yuan, if you can guess the top four, you can get a bonus of 5,000 yuan, if you can guess the top eight, you can get a bonus of 20,000 yuan, if you can guess the top 16, you can get a bonus of 100,000 yuan, and if you can guess the ranking of 32 teams in the World Cup, you can get a bonus of 320,000 yuan.

There are also bets on the score of each game.

Liao Fanmin remembers very well that no one won the prize money of 320,000 yuan in this World Cup, because no one thought that the South Korean team could enter the semifinals, and no one thought that the Japanese team could win the ninth place.

After the start of the World Cup, Liao Fanmin came to see this World Cup with memories and appreciation.

When surfing the Internet, Liao Fanmin had a whim, he wanted to give it a try.

The ranking of the top 32, Liao Fanmin is very familiar, after all, the South Korea and Japan World Cup has the participation of the Chinese team.

The Chinese team is ranked second from the bottom, slightly stronger than the Saudi team.

After the start of the World Cup, what Liao Fanmin didn't expect was that his home became a gathering place.

Wang Zhi, Zeng Fuguang and others all came to him to watch TV after work, and everyone also participated in gambling on the Internet, guessing the outcome of each ball game.

Liao Fanmin originally didn't want to participate in the prediction of the outcome of each game and the score, but Wang Zhi, Zeng Fuguang and others did not give up and asked him to participate.

So, starting from June 4th, Liao Fanmin participated in the prediction of the score of each game.

Because this day is the first appearance of the Chinese team in the history of the World Cup, and the opponent is the Costa Rican team.

Liao Fanmin did not hesitate to give a score of 0 to 2, and the Costa Rican team won against the Chinese team.

Wang Zhi and Zeng Fuguang and others are very incomprehensible, not convinced, according to the predictions of many senior fans and coaches, the Chinese team has great hope of defeating the Costa Rican team, for the Chinese team, the weakest opponent in Group C is the Costa Rica team, followed by Turkey, and there is no need to discuss the Brazilian team.

Some fans even believe that the first game of the Chinese team against the Costa Rica team is the best arrangement, if they win the Costa Rica team and win three points, they can fight with the Turkish team, even if it is a draw, it is possible to enter the round of 16.

Liao Fanmin knows that some of the fans' comments are quite accurate, except for the Chinese team in Group C, the weakest team is the Costa Rica team, but unfortunately the strength of the team is to face the Brazilian team and the Turkish team, not the Chinese team.

Brazil, the first place in this World Cup, and Turkey, the third place, are both in Group C, and it is not known whether the Chinese team is lucky or unlucky.

Although Wang Zhi and Zeng Fuguang were not convinced, they still believed Liao Fanmin, and they followed Liao Fanmin to bet on the Internet.

The bet is very simple, one yuan per bet, how much you are willing to bet depends on your own, it may be a loss of one, it may also be a loss of two, or even higher, each person who bets, provide a bank card number, when betting, the funds will be transferred from the bank card, if you win, the funds will be returned to the bank card immediately, if you lose, the money drawn out of the bank card is lost.

Online betting gives one to two, and it is actually inclined to the Chinese team to win.

Liao Fanmin thought it was funny, so he simply bet 1,000 yuan.

Wang Zhi and Zeng Fuguang muttered, they thought that Liao Fanmin was thinking about making the national football team lose, but after all, the two still bet 100 yuan each.

Including Liao Fanmin, their bets are petty and petty, which is of the nature of entertainment, and those who really gamble on football can easily bet tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands and millions of bets on a game.

The game ended with the constant sighs of Wang Zhi, Zeng Fuguang and others, and the score of 0-2 was particularly dazzling.

The gambling was won, but Wang Zhi, Zeng Fuguang and others were not happy at all.

The next day, Wang Zhi brought a few newspapers, which published the test papers of the football quiz, from the guessing champion to the final top 32 rankings, if all the guesses are correct, he will get a bonus of 320,000 yuan.

All you need to do is buy a newspaper, fill in the answers, and mail them to the designated location.

When filling in the answers, leave your real name and contact address, phone number, etc.

There are five days left before the end of the quiz, which is halfway through the first round, and the answers to the quiz must be sent.

Wang Zhi, Zeng Fuguang and others began to analyze each team, analyze every game they had watched before, and ranked the team according to their own feelings, and sometimes there were even disputes between the two.

The specific score of each game is Liao Fanmin's business.

Liao Fanmin is not greedy, he guesses two out of every three games, and the score is correct, of course, he is not stupid, he knows that the one he can't guess will only make a small amount of money.

However, the matter of guessing the team's ranking made Liao Fanmin hesitate, if he guessed all the top 32, wouldn't he become a demon.

When there was still a day left before the end of the quiz, Liao Fanmin finally made up his mind.

Wang Zhi and Zeng Fuguang looked at Liao Fanmin's fame, as if they had seen a monster.

Although the two believed in Liao Fanmin very much, when guessing the final ranking of the top 32, the two still insisted on their own opinions and filled in the answers according to their respective understandings.

Wang Zhi was responsible for sending the envelope.

The game gradually advanced, and after entering the top 16 competition, it became more and more exciting, and even Liao Fanmin gradually sank into it, watching every game carefully.

Wang Zhi and Zeng Fuguang and others don't know how to describe the mood, the ranking of the sixteen teams that have been eliminated, Liao Fanmin's prediction is completely accurate, they can't figure it out, the last champion France did not enter the round of 16, and the traditional South American team Argentina and the European traditional team Portugal were not able to enter the top 16.

South Korea and Japan all entered the round of 16.

Wang Zhi and others' guesses are naturally hopeless.

After the quarterfinals, Wang Zhi pulled Liao Fanmin and others to the restaurant to have a big meal, during which he kept asking Liao Fanmin why he knew that the Korean team could enter the semifinals.

Liao Fanmin can't explain it, what he knows is that history has not changed.

On the day of the finals, including Shen Yaling and others, gathered at Liao Fanmin's house.

Beer and braised vegetables are placed on the table.

In the shouting of Wang Zhi, Zeng Fuguang and others, the final ended.

Brazil won the World Cup for the fifth time.

Liao Fanmin's ranking of the top 32 is completely correct.

Under the pressure of everyone, Liao Fanmin insisted that he had a dream before filling in the answer, and when he dreamed of this ranking, he didn't think about it and filled in the answer.

Wang Zhi and Zeng Fuguang and others grabbed their hair in popularity, if they followed Liao Fanmin to fill in, the huge amount of 320,000 yuan would be in hand.
