Last time, since Ruan Jianguo was with a few female family members, he was somewhat afraid of being squeezed by the crowd, but today wasn't the case. Upon seeing people gathering around, he seemed quite happy, chatting and laughing with everyone quite merrily.
The staff at the lottery station recognized him, and as soon as they saw him coming, they warmly welcomed him into the office, offering tea and cigarettes, more cordially than the last time.
There were several workers at the lottery station, two selling tickets outside, and two hosting inside. One of them, when Ruan Jianguo and his group entered, squeezed through the door crack and ran off in one direction.
Ruan Jianguo thought he had some urgent matters to attend to and didn't mind.
He just asked the staff member nearby, "Xiaoliu, when can I pick up the car?" From the conversation just now, Ruan Jianguo had learned his name.
