Chapter 166: Swindling (Part 5)

  Zhao Tiezhu was attracted by the voice, and when he looked in the direction of the sound, he saw a thin little man standing on a chair, holding an empty can ring in one hand, shouting "I won! I won!!"

  At this time, a slightly fat man came forward and asked, "Brother, how much did you get?"

  The man looked at the fat man vigilantly and said, "It's not much, just 10,000."

  The people around him let out a cry of surprise, but Zhao Tiezhu slightly furrowed his brow.

  "Cheated again." Quan Shu shook his head disdainfully.

  "Oh?" Zhao Tiezhu looked at Quan Shu with confusion.

  "These people always do this kind of thing on the train, last time it was X arrow chewing gum, this time it's Coke, wait and see, that winner will definitely say, to get the prize, he has to go out of town, he doesn't have time, plans to sell this winning can ring cheaply to others, let people with free time go get the prize."

  As expected, as soon as the words fell, the winner exclaimed, "Alas, I have to go to work in LJ, can't leave the place, if I want to redeem this prize, I have to go to BJ! Hey, is there anyone from BJ? I'll sell it to you at a discount, you can go claim the prize yourself!"

  People around passed on a whisper, someone shouted out, "How much is it selling for?"

  "Alright, 5,000 it is. I'll take a small loss so you can make some profit." said the winner.

  "This play is really like that!" Zhao Tiezhu looked at the man and several others who were asking and answering questions, glanced at Lucy beside him, "This is a scam. In the future, when going out, if you encounter something that seems to be beneficial, don't do it. The sky won't drop free cakes, and even if they did, they wouldn't hit your head."

  "Of course, pies won't fall from the sky. Why do you still say such things?" Lucy looked at Zhao Tiezhu in puzzlement. Zhao Tiezhu didn't speak up, but this kind of scam is actually very easy to expose. However, why are there still people who get cheated? It's mainly because of a glimmer of hope and the desire to get something for nothing. Just like those text messages on your phone that say you've won a prize, maybe out of 10,000 people, not even one will fall for it. But scammers send out millions of such messages at once, and as long as a few people fall for it, they can make a fortune.

  As expected, not long after, several pieces of the play were performed, and someone really fell for it. A middle-aged man wearing a short-sleeved shirt, a hat, and a camera around his neck walked up to the swindler and said: "I just so happen to be from BJ, sell this to me." The swindler was overjoyed seeing someone fall for it, but just as he was about to agree, a clear voice came from beside him, "Uncle, that's a scam!"

  All I saw was a child who looked about 7 or 8 years old standing on a seat not far away, calling out to this side.

  "You're the scammer." The scammer got angry, but after looking at that BJ person, he found that the person was a bit hesitant. The scammer quickly gave a wink to an accomplice in the crowd, and the accomplice immediately walked out of the crowd and shouted, "Sell it to me instead, I can make a profit of 5,000 just by reselling it, it's too easy."

  That Beijing person suddenly became anxious, and didn't care about what the little kid said earlier. He shouted, "Hey, hey, there's a first-come-first-served rule here! I wanted it first, don't snatch it from me! Comrade, can you please let me take a look at that ring of yours?"

  "Everyone says I'm a swindler, you can't be deceived!" The swindler said with some resentment, which made the BJ person even more convinced. He said, "How could that be? Our Shenzhou is harmonious, where did those swindlers come from? Don't believe what that little kid says."

  The swindler looked at the BJ person with a mixture of trust and doubt, handed over the pull ring, and the BJ person confirmed that there was indeed a prompt to win 10,000 yuan on the pull ring. Overjoyed, he quickly took out 5,000 yuan from his pocket.

  "Uncle, that's a scam, don't believe it! I saw it once when I took the train last time!!" The little kid exclaimed anxiously.

  Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, "Xiao Zhi, we're too late this time, don't say anything more. We have no chance of buying that pull ring."

  The man looked enlightened, and it turned out that he wanted to buy the pull ring, so he deliberately told himself it was fake! He looked at the child with disdain and said, "At such a young age, you've already learned how to deceive people. What kind of future will you have when you grow up?!"

  The child's eyes were red, and on that delicate little face, full of grievance, finally hummed a sound, sat down directly, and didn't speak again.

  "Look, in this day and age, there are still those foolish people who want to be deceived, they're asking for trouble. Zhao Tiezhu sighed and glanced at Su Yanni, "In today's society, people like your landlord, as kind-hearted as I am, who won't cheat you, are too few and far between. So you two must be careful of outsiders, especially men, none of them can be trusted."

  "Cut!" The two women gave a very unfeminine middle finger of disdain.

  "Sugela laughed and said, 'Tie Zhu, are you still a landlord? Where's your place in Fuzhou? One day if I have nowhere to live, I'll go find you to rent a house.'"

  "Sorry ~ My house is only rented to young women ~" Zhao Tiezhu smiled and shook his head.

  "Despise you, valuing lust over friendship."

  The train soon arrived at a station. Zhao Tiezhu glanced in the direction of the swindlers with his eyes, and those people got off at this stop. They must have been worried that things would be exposed, so they ran early.

  There were 5 or 6 people who got off the bus at once, and in fact, many people on the bus could see that this was a scam. But since there were 5 or 6 scammers, if you really wanted to be a hero and get involved, what would happen if you got beaten up? In today's society, doing good deeds often ends in tears. So most people thought it was better to mind their own business and not get involved, especially after seeing the Beijing man scolding that kid, everyone felt that he had been cheated and deserved it.

  That BJ man is secretly delighted, he's so clever, when it's time to make a move, he makes one. This trip to YN has paid off all the expenses at once, it's like getting a free tour, what a pleasure!

  Finally, someone couldn't bear it anymore and said to the BJ man: "Is it really a prize? Why don't you call the company to check?"

  He looked around cautiously and thought what others said was right, so he picked up the phone and called Coca-Cola.

  "Hello, I won a prize of 10,000 yuan from your company. When and where can I collect it?" BJ man asked over the phone.

  The person on the other end of the phone said something, and BJ's face suddenly turned black!

  "What? No 10,000 yuan prize for this award? Just another bottle? I'll give you another bottle, another bottle can be exchanged for 5,000 ah!! What? I've been cheated? How could this be, the ring clearly had the words 'winning' on it! Your company is big, but you can't cheat people like that! What? Scratch and see? These words couldn't have been written by myself, right!! Oh my god, it really has been scratched off!!"

  Everyone was speechless.
