Suddenly, Pei Qian felt like something was off.

Why hadn't anyone at his table won anything yet?

This table was basically all department heads and core members of Tengda, people like Huang Sibo, Lü Mingliang, Lin Wan, Bao Xu, Li Yada, Zhang Yuan, and so on.

In the end, there was one empty seat, so Pei Qian had arranged for Tang Yishu to sit there as well.

When the annual meeting had just started, the prizes on the big screen were scrolling quickly. A name would flash by every two seconds or so, and there would be a few minutes between each drawing, but the intervals weren't too long.

At this rate, over a thousand prizes had already been drawn, and nearly an hour had passed.

During this time, cheers and applause had been constant throughout the venue, coming from all directions. Pei Qian hadn't participated in the drawing himself, so he subconsciously assumed that everyone must have won something.

But thinking about it carefully, his table seemed to have been very quiet the whole time?

Were they being reserved because they were eating with him? That couldn't be it.

It seemed like no one at the table had won anything at all.

Pei Qian wasn't entirely sure, so he asked Huang Sibo, who was sitting next to him, in a low voice, "Did you win anything?"

Huang Sibo shook his head. "No."

Pei Qian turned to Lü Mingliang, who was sitting on the other side, and asked, "Did you win anything?"

Lü Mingliang also shook his head. "No."

Pei Qian looked at Tang Yishu, who was sitting across from him, eating her food in small bites with her head down, not daring to look up. He suddenly understood.

Had this halo effect become so powerful that it could even influence pseudo-probabilities?

Logically speaking, with over a thousand prizes already drawn, the probability of these people winning something in the background should be quite high, right?

But they still hadn't won anything. It was too strange!

Pei Qian suddenly felt a little guilty, and considered whether he should find a way to have Tang Yishu leave temporarily to restore the luck of the table.

As for that unlucky kid Tang Yishu… he'd find a way to compensate her later.

But before Pei Qian could come up with a reason, Huang Sibo suddenly said in surprise, "Huh? I won! A Pineapple phone!"

Just as everyone was about to congratulate him, Lü Mingliang also said in surprise, "Ah, I won too, also a phone!"

Li Yada said, "I think I won a TV!"

The winning probability at this table suddenly started to skyrocket!

At the beginning, everyone had come up empty-handed for the smaller prizes, but the later they went, the better the prizes became. Winning one prize now was worth two or three of the earlier ones!

The gloom over the table instantly vanished.

Although everyone sitting there was well-off and could afford to buy these prizes themselves, buying them and winning them were two completely different things!

Pei Qian finally felt relieved.

So that's how it was!

It seemed that Tang Yishu's halo had actually backfired.

The halo made the people around her unluckier, but in this case of fake probabilities, the unluckier they were, the higher the accumulated probability of winning became. In the end, they all caught up to the later, bigger prizes!

Pei Qian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Good thing he didn't have to find an excuse to get Tang Yishu away, otherwise if none of the department heads had won anything, everyone might have thought he was rigging the lottery…

Hmm? Wait a minute.

Pei Qian suddenly realized something.

Could it be that Tang Yishu's halo could have the opposite effect under certain circumstances?

Like this time, everyone's luck did get worse, but because the probability kept accumulating, they won bigger prizes later!

If this happened at work, wouldn't that be…

Pei Qian suddenly felt a pang of unease.

But then he thought again, it shouldn't be a big problem.

Because this lottery used a special pseudo-probability, where the longer you didn't win, the higher your chances of winning later became.

But there was no such pseudo-probability at work!

So… it should be fine.

Pei Qian breathed a slight sigh of relief and continued to bury himself in his food.

The names on the big screen continued to scroll.

By now, everyone was pretty much full, and many tables had already put down their chopsticks, staring intently at the big screen, waiting for the final prizes to be announced.

The cash prize of 18,888 had been drawn, and Li Yada and Zhang Yuan from Pei Qian's table had won, a winning rate that was clearly higher than other tables.

After the 10 cash prizes, the final grand prize appeared on the big screen.

A five-day trip for two to any city in the world, three winners!

The moment the prize appeared on the big screen, the entire venue erupted.

Awesome!

This was a five-day trip for two to any city, you could go wherever you wanted!

And it included first-class plane tickets, five-star hotel accommodation, and an additional spending allowance to use freely. You could buy some local specialties there, like a Donkey brand bag, wouldn't that be wonderful?

Everyone on the scene put down their chopsticks and stared intently at the big screen, wanting to know which three lucky people would be so honored.

Pei Qian noticed that Bao Xu, who was at the same table as him, seemed to be trembling slightly as he held his chopsticks, and he didn't dare to look at the big screen…

Pei Qian couldn't help but chuckle inwardly. Indeed, Bao Xu hadn't won a single prize yet!

See that? This was fate!

Don't say I rigged the lottery for you, I'm innocent, you can only blame your bad luck!

The avatars on the big screen began to scroll quickly, and then three lucky winners were drawn in succession.

Bao Xu!

Bao Xu!

Still Bao Xu!

"Pfft!"

Bao Xu almost spat out the red wine in his mouth when he saw this scene.

What the hell!

Did this mean he was going to be traveling for fifteen days?

Pei Qian was also a bit dizzy.

What was going on?

Wasn't it said that everyone could only win two prizes, and the same prize could only be won once?

The people on the scene were obviously stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha, Brother Bao has become a travel expert?"

"One person took up three spots?"

"My condolences, you have to go out for another half a month!"

Pei Qian looked at Assistant Xin, who came over and said in a low voice, "President Pei, there seems to be a bug in the program…"

Pei Qian: "..."

Bao Xu, who was sitting across from him, was dumbfounded. He almost dropped the chopsticks in his hand and quickly said, "President Pei! I've already been out too many times, let's leave this prize to someone who needs it more!!"

Pei Qian said to Assistant Xin, "Arrange for the technicians to fix it as soon as possible and draw again."

The program was made by the technicians from Qidian Chinese Network, and they quickly took out their laptops and began to modify it.

Assistant Xin took the microphone and briefly explained that there was a bug in the program, and that everyone could start playing with the gashapon machines first, and then start re-drawing the grand prize when they were done playing.

As for the previous prizes, because the program didn't have a bug at that time, they would naturally not be invalidated and would still be valid.

Everyone immediately dispersed and started grabbing handfuls of game coins to play.

The original plan was that after all the prizes were drawn, everyone would happily play with the gashapon and claw machines, and then go home when they were done.

Now, there was a small problem with the original plan, but it wasn't a big deal, it was just that the original grand prize would be drawn at the end.

Soon, the claw machines and gashapon machines around them were crowded with people.

Wu Bin was holding a handful of game coins, wandering behind the crowd, not knowing which one to play.

Whether it was the plush toys in the claw machine or the small figures and figurines in the gashapon machine, they all looked pretty good!

Obviously, these prizes were also carefully selected, giving people the feeling that you wouldn't lose out no matter what you grabbed.

The various machines were completely occupied by girls, some of whom were holding large handfuls of game coins, apparently planning to fight to the death in front of the claw machine, with the momentum of not giving up until they had emptied the machine of dolls.

On the other hand, there were fewer people participating in the ring toss and air gun games, after all, girls didn't really like playing those.

Wu Bin, with the mentality of trying it out, came to the front of a ring toss game.

A hotel waiter was already waiting to greet him, and after taking the game coins from Wu Bin, he handed him a ring.

"Whoa."

Wu Bin took a look, and this ring was many times larger than the common rings!

Other rings were all small, about the size of a bracelet, but this ring was as big as a plate.

If you couldn't get this one, you could just kill yourself in apology.

Wu Bin picked a relatively handsome figure, aimed carefully, and then threw it hard!

He missed, he didn't get it!

Wu Bin was dizzy. He actually didn't get such a big ring. He really had no face to see his ancestors back home!

No, he couldn't just give up like this!

Wu Bin took out more game coins and prepared to continue buying rings.

However, at this moment, the waiter picked up the figure with lightning speed and put it in the ring.

"Congratulations, sir, you got it!"

"Pfft!"

Wu Bin almost spat out, could he do that?

Could he shoot the arrow first and then draw the target?

This was obviously a behind-the-scenes operation!

But seeing the waiter's smiling face and the expression of "you know," Wu Bin instantly understood that this was obviously instructed by President Pei!

Wu Bin quickly took out another handful of game coins, bought ten rings at once, and started throwing as hard as he could when he saw a figure he liked.

He got one for every one he threw!

There was no way he wouldn't get it, because every time he didn't get it, the waiter would silently move the figure into the ring…

Soon, Wu Bin was carrying eleven figures and figurines, returning with a full load.

The waiter also thoughtfully prepared bags to pack the figurines and figures for easy carrying.

Soon, others also discovered that the winning rate was too high, it was just like giving them away for free!

The claw machine, as long as you aimed well, you could grab one every time.

The gashapon machine, every little figurine that came out was very cute.

And some probability games, the probability of winning good prizes was ridiculously high!

So many good-looking figurines, gashapons, plush toys, pillows and other prizes were completely free!

Everyone was having a great time, carrying big bags and small bags, almost unable to free their hands.

Wu Bin couldn't help but sigh, it was so awesome!

Why hadn't he thought that playing these small games was so awesome before?

Soon, after everyone's hard work, the prizes in the venue were basically swept away, and the game coins in everyone's hands were all used up.

At this time, the lottery on the big screen finally started rolling again, and the names of the three winning lucky people appeared.

Everyone looked forward to it with anticipation.

Chen Kangtuo.

Ye Zhizhou.

Bao Xu!

Bao Xu's face instantly darkened.

What did this mean! Was this lottery system targeting him!

Why was he still there after redrawing it?!

Bao Xu quickly looked at President Pei, "President Pei! I really don't need to go traveling anymore, let this opportunity be given to someone who needs it more!"

"Who wants to trade prizes with me? Any prize is fine!"

Pei Qian smiled and shook his head, "Since you've won, you're absolutely not allowed to give it up!"

"There's still time, think carefully about which city you haven't been to yet..."

Bao Xu: "..."

Pei Qian guessed that the final prizes didn't all come from his table, probably because when everyone went to play with the gashapon machines and claw machines, the halo effect of Tang Yishu was diluted and no longer focused on the people at this table.

Bao Xu had not won a prize, so after leaving the halo effect of Tang Yishu, he had accumulated a high probability of winning which automatically took effect and he won a big prize.

And the other two, should be pure luck.

Pei Qian once again confirmed the power and reliability of Tang Yishu's halo effect.

However… it seemed that Tang Yishu herself hadn't won anything?

Was it because no matter how other people's luck changed, she herself was still a loser?

This matter felt a bit strange, and somewhat deviated from Pei Qian's previous judgment.

However, Pei Qian didn't think too much about it.

This poor child, he'd give her a raise later…
