Chapter 1589: How Can You Be So Unlucky?
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
And the truth was just as Ye Feng had expected.
Around lunchtime, when Ye Feng met up with Zhuang Xiaoqiao at the airport, he saw the first-class ticket and the US visa that she handed over, and he realized that things were not as simple as they seemed.
He saw that Zhuang Xiaoqiao was carrying a small suitcase, and a few people were following her secretly.
He immediately said, “Our destination this time is America?”
“Strictly speaking, it’s America’s Seattle.” Zhuang Xiaoqiao replied.
“What are we going to do there?” Ye Feng asked.
Zhuang Xiaoqiao smiled slyly. “In America, there’s a very popular activity called warehouse gambling. Have you heard of it?”
“Bet on storage units?” Ye Feng thought about it carefully.
He had never been in contact with the United States, but when he would occasionally play on his phone, he had watched some of the more popular foreign variety shows before.
They seemed to have talked about warehouse gambling in America.
“I’ve heard of this thing, but I haven’t understood it in detail before.”
“How do we play? Is it fun?”
Zhuang Xiaoqiao seemed to be quite excited when she talked about this. “Of course it’s fun! It’s even more fun than opening a blind box!”
“This thing is a product that can only be born in a specific environment like the United States.”
“In the US, there are still a lot of warehouse rental businesses. As a result, there are many unclaimed warehouses. Hence, gambling warehouses came into being and are more popular in America.”
Ye Feng was still unfamiliar with warehouse gambling, in this aspect, he had to consult Zhuang Xiaoqiao, who was an expert, and she patiently explained it to him.
“The United States has strict laws and regulations on garbage sorting. If you take back an unclaimed warehouse, you have to clean up the things in the warehouse yourself if you want to continue renting it.”
“Cleaning up the warehouse requires a large amount of garbage removal fees. For a profit-oriented business, such a transaction is not worth it. Therefore, these geniuses came up with a strange trick of gambling on the warehouse. They auction the things in the warehouse, which is also the so-called warehouse gambling.”
“Regardless of whether or not there’s anything valuable in the storage unit, the investor will receive a considerable sum of money. As for whether or not they make a profit, that’s up to the person who bids on the storage unit.”
When Ye Feng heard this, he understood the reason behind warehouse gambling.
However, he was still a little curious as to why Zhuang Xiaoqiao would think of traveling overseas to play this game.
At the thought of this, he looked at Zhuang Xiaoqiao again. “Have you played this before?”
“Tell me about your previous experience of gambling on storage units?”
“What’s there to say?” Zhuang Xiaoqiao’s expression changed.
Ye Feng saw her expression and became even more curious.
This girl had always been quite lively. Why was she a little embarrassed when she mentioned these things?
“Actually, it’s nothing much…”
“Back in America, I gambled on more than ten storage units and lost money.”
Zhuang Xiaoqiao felt a little awkward.
Ye Feng was stunned, he thought to himself. What kind of luck did you have?
Betting on more than ten storage units and losing money?
Zhuang Xiaoqiao might as well change her name to Zhuang Badluck!
“What are you laughing at?”
Zhuang Xiaoqiao asked angrily when she saw Ye Feng turning his head and laughing secretly.
“Ah, I’m fine! You weren’t being scammed back then, were you?”
“Look at how rich you are. Don’t let them fool you with a warehouse that has already been cleared out!”
Ye Feng had a serious expression, he was trying his best not to laugh out loud, and he was about to suffer internal injuries.
“That won’t happen. Those people still have this bit of integrity. Once this kind of thing is exposed, their company’s credibility will drop to a low point. No matter what activities they hold in the future, no one will care!”
“Besides, even if they try to fool anyone, they wouldn’t dare to fool me!”
Zhuang Xiaoqiao waved her little fists and said.
Ye felt that it was quite strange. He was a real cheater, but to put it nicely, he was a hot shot. Anyone who was close to him would generally have good luck.
Especially Zhuang Xiaoqiao. Not only was she someone close to him, but she was also the only granddaughter of that big shot. She was the chosen one!
This face… How could she be so unlucky?
Zhuang Xiaojiao was a little disappointed when she recalled the experience of gambling in the warehouse. This was probably the biggest failure of her life!
“In that case, let’s go to America this time to avenge you.” Ye Feng smiled.
“Can you do it?” Zhuang Xiaoqiao rolled her eyes.
“Of course I can. It’s not like you don’t know. It’s not normal for me to come out without getting lucky in something. This luck is not something that can be casually said.”
Ye Feng smiled. “Maybe I will pick up some treasures and get a bronze ritual vessel from the pre-Qin period.”
Speaking of this, Ye Feng could not help but think of the humiliating history of the Chinese people a hundred years ago, back then, the Americans also benefited a lot from it. They plundered many treasures of the Dragon Country.
“Come on, you don’t have any experience in this kind of thing. I have to help you from the side!” Zhuang Xiaoqiao said proudly.
Ye Feng snickered again, this girl was even more interested in gambling than him!
However, he did not expose Zhuang Xiaoqiao’s facade.
He thought about how he would have to leave for the Sun Never Sets Empire after this trip to the United States. He did not know how long he would have to stay in the Sun Never Sets, so he decided to have some fun with her.
After understanding some of the rules and details of warehouse gambling with Zhuang Xiaoqiao, he helped her carry her luggage, and they checked in together.
At the same time, he started to understand the cultural differences between America and China from Zhuang Xiaoqiao.
After chatting for a few hours and napping for a few hours, the plane finally arrived in Seattle.
And at this moment, Ye Feng felt numb.
America and China were separated by more than ten time zones. It was noon in China when he and Zhuang Xiaoqiao set off.
However, after more than ten hours of flight, it was still morning in America when the plane landed.
This meant that he would have to go through another round of jet lag.
Even though he was full of energy, he still felt that it was a little unbearable.
After they had collected their luggage and walked out of the airport, Ye Feng asked Zhuang Xiaoqiao to lead the way and they went to the hotel to rest.
Zhuang Xiaoqiao was exhausted.
Although she had been to America many times before and was familiar with this place, she was too lazy to book a hotel in advance or arrange for the hotel’s car to pick her up.
After hearing Ye Feng’s suggestion, she yawned and was about to hail a taxi at the airport exit.
At this moment, a black guy with a cunning look in his eyes took the initiative to come over and asked in his not-so-fluent Chinese, “Do you need a car, my friend?”
“Mine, cheap! It is brand new! Mercedes-Benz!”
“Shall we go?”
