This sentence sounded somewhat familiar, but Xavier didn't think much of it.
Not long after, Xavier finally arrived at the part he dreaded most.
A chubby, middle-aged man walked onto the stage, holding a microphone.
"Hello, hello, everyone, welcome to this appreciation banquet for our esteemed property owners."
"To thank everyone for their support, I represent the Group in making this speech. We have summarized three main points for this."
"Now for the first paragraph of the first section of the first point…"
The vice president on stage droned on for a full two hours.
Xavier really couldn't understand; he was tired just listening, so how was he not tired?
Fortunately, not long after, the fellow finally stopped and said something pleasant.
"Alright, please enjoy today's appreciation banquet. After it concludes, we will proceed with the lucky draw!"
"Clap, clap, clap!"
Thunderous applause erupted from below the stage. Everyone probably felt the same way as Xavier.
As for Furina…
"Huh? Huh?"
He had dozed off after finishing all the snacks and fruits, only to be startled awake by the applause.
"Good, good, good, well said!"
Although Furina didn't know what was happening, he followed everyone else in clapping and cheering.
When he saw waitresses in cheongsams bringing out dishes on trays, Furina's spirits lifted again.
"Great! I knew I didn't come here for nothing today!"
Although Furina's movements were clumsy, he still tried his best to pick up the chopsticks.
Ever since the hotpot restaurant battle last time, Furina swore he would master chopsticks to perfection!
Forget about a small meatball; he would even pick up a tiny mung bean.
As long as it wasn't a strange food, Furina could accept it.
Especially this free meal; the more he looked at it, the more delicious it seemed.
It was just a pity that his control over chopsticks was still insufficient, so he could only rely on Xavier to serve him food.
An elderly woman next to them saw Xavier constantly serving Furina food and started a conversation.
"Young man, are you buying a wedding home?"
Xavier, who was gnawing on beef, almost choked to death.
But to make sure the elderly woman didn't continue the conversation, Xavier nodded and said, "Uh, you could say that."
However, the elderly woman persisted and asked again, "You and your girlfriend both look quite young. Are you planning to get married so early?"
"It's not entirely impossible for you to say that, but on the other hand, it's not entirely possible either. As for whether it's possible, it depends on whether it's possible or not."
Xavier used his trump card. These words left the elderly woman stumped for a long time, probably causing her to freeze.
"Xavier, what was he just saying? What about marriage?"
Furina was only focused on eating and hadn't paid any attention to what the two of them were saying.
Xavier casually made an excuse: "Oh, he said he's getting remarried, and I wished him well."
"Whoosh!"
Unexpectedly, Furina suddenly stood up and picked up his cup.
"I didn't expect you to still be pursuing love at such an old age. Actually, there's nothing wrong with a second marriage. I'll toast to you!"
The elderly woman's face immediately darkened, as if it had been smeared with coal.
Xavier quickly pulled Furina back and apologized to the elderly woman: "I'm sorry, ma'am, he's been a bit slow-witted since he was young, which is why I bought a house so early, planning to settle down quickly!"
"If he has a mental illness, he should get treatment. Don't let him out talking nonsense…" The elderly woman was half-convinced and didn't press the issue further.
Furina became anxious: "Who has a mental illness? Don't talk nonsense…"
He had only spoken halfway when Xavier pulled a chicken drumstick and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Eat!"
"Mmm mmm mmm…"
Furina originally wanted to continue protesting, but after chewing a few times, he realized that the chicken drumstick tasted really good!
This made Xavier regret it. He thought it would have been better to bring Hu Tao.
But then he thought about Hu Tao's personality; something might go wrong, and people might flip the tables.
"Ah~ Not bad, not bad, these dishes are really delicious!"
After eating, Furina rubbed his somewhat round belly, feeling very satisfied.
But soon he felt guilty, because he felt he should maintain his figure and not overeat.
"Alright everyone, next up is the lucky draw."
"Our Group has prepared 100 spots in total, and there is only one first prize!"
Furina seemed very interested in the lucky draw.
He stared at the serial number on Xavier's phone, muttering continuously.
"334, 334…"
However, he kept calling out until over 80 numbers had been announced, but he still hadn't heard his serial number.
Just as Furina had given up, the host loudly announced: "Is property owner number 334 present!"
"Here!"
Furina reacted like a reflex, immediately standing up and raising his hand.
"I didn't expect number 334 to be a beautiful lady. Then please, madam, come up to the stage for the draw!"
Furina quickly agreed, but he wanted to pull Xavier up with him.
After getting on stage, the host smiled and asked, "Are you two a couple? This purchase must be for a wedding home, right?"
When Furina heard this, he thought, how could this be? Isn't this spreading rumors?
Just as he was about to refuse, Xavier quickly replied, "That's right, that's right. I think the houses in your community are great, very suitable for a wedding home!"
Xavier secretly wiped sweat. If they knew he was drawing on behalf of someone else, he might be asked to leave the stage.
Now there were only over 10 spots left, and the probability of winning the first prize was very high.
"Xavier, why did you say that!"
Furina glared at Xavier. If they weren't on stage, he probably would have summoned something.
"You draw first, and I'll tell you later."
Furina snorted and put his hand into the lucky draw box.
"Win, must win!"
"I've been so unlucky before, it's about time I got lucky…"
He muttered with his eyes closed, completely unaware that the host's microphone was already near his mouth.
This meant that his mumbling had actually been heard by everyone, who were secretly snickering below.
Even after taking out the lottery card, Furina didn't dare to open his eyes to look, but handed it to the host.
The host looked at Furina's appearance and said helplessly, "Madam, there's no need to be so nervous…"
Anyone who didn't know would think he was drawing a death quota…
"Alright, since this lady doesn't dare to look, let's all help him look."
Left with no choice, the host had to open the card.
He first paused, then exclaimed in surprise, "It's actually the only first prize!"
"What? I won!"
Furina immediately opened his eyes and snatched the card.
He checked it repeatedly and was overjoyed when he confirmed it was indeed the first prize.
"Great, Xavier, we won!"
He hugged Xavier, sharing the joy in his heart.
Although it was only for a fleeting moment, it still caused Xavier's brain to crash.
This silly Furina, you're too easily satisfied…
