Just as Kara and the others were waiting to check the system, a man came to collect the bonus.
Seeing the man give the lottery ticket to the staff member, Kara pulled James’s arm anxiously.
However, James was too calm. There was no expression on his handsome face and he didn’t do anything. Kara couldn’t remain calm.
She ran to the man who came to collect the bonus. The man was wearing a white shirt and a red striped suit. His hair was slicked back. It could be seen that he had been carefully dressed.
“Sir, have you also received a message from the system by mistake?”
When the man heard that it was a mistake, he was stunned for a moment. Then his expression changed.
“Madam, what are you talking about? I didn’t receive any messages by mistake. What I received was the message that I’ve won the bonus.”
Kara pretended to be calm and crossed her arms.
“Unfortunately, I also received a message that I won the bonus, but they told me that the system made a mistake.”
The man knew in his heart that he didn’t win the bonus, but he could not expose it.
“Madam, are you trying to cheat me out of my money?”
“You are not a fool. How could you be cheated by me? Besides, their company is investigating. During the investigation, it is impossible to give you money, so we should wait for their investigation results.”
Kara delayed the time, hoping that James and Nolan could move faster.
The man felt uneasy. He wanted to quickly get his bonus and leave, but now that he was blocked by a woman, he was in a bad mood.
“Where did you come from, crazy woman? Stay out of my way.”
Kara was not afraid. Her gaze was firm as she looked at the staff members.
“Since the system made a mistake, how do you know who got the right message?”
The staff members stared at the supervisor.
The supervisor’s lips twitched as he tried to calm himself down and slowly explained.
“It’s like this. The lottery number that this gentleman showed is the correct number to win the bonus.”
“Didn’t you say that the system has a problem? Then how do you know that it is the correct number? How do I know if you are lying to me?
“Do you know what I’ve been through? You have to be responsible for hurting my feelings!”
Kara didn’t know what to say. Anyway, she didn’t give in. She only wanted to stall for time.
The supervisor was speechless.
Nolan made an OK gesture to James. James walked to Kara and touched her little head, telling her not to worry.
Kara understood and finally breathed a sigh of relief. She rubbed his palm as a response.
Soon, two men in suits came over. They both had badges on their suits. They were the officials of the Lottery Bureau.
There were strict requirements for issuing lottery tickets, and the system would not make mistakes under normal circumstances. If there was a mistake, the officials would come to investigate.
When the supervisor saw the two unfamiliar judges, his expression changed. He sighed in his heart. Things were troublesome, and his palms were sweating.
“I heard that the system sent you the wrong message?” An older official asked.
“No.”
“Yes!”
Hearing the man’s answer, Kara immediately ran to the official and shouted to attract his attention.
“Sir, look, this is the text message. I came all the way here to collect my bonus. They told me that the system made a mistake and sent me the wrong message, making me happy for nothing. They didn’t even apologize and even drove me out.”
Kara cried softly. Her small face looked pure and cute, and her big eyes stared at the official pitifully.
The older official was the head judge and was responsible for the work of several cities around NK City.
He checked the text message on Kara’s phone. There was a verification code and a web page link.
This was a message from their system, but why did they say that the system made a mistake?
“Who else wants to collect the bonus? Show me the message.”
The other official was sweating on his forehead. Although he was prepared, he was still a little nervous.
He quickly took a step forward and walked to the man who came to collect the bonus, taking away his phone to investigate the case.
“Sir, there is no problem.”
Nolan kept staring at the official’s finger. He didn’t even open the web page. How could he know that there was no problem with this message?
It proved that this official knew the web link and verification code were correct in advance.
There were many reasons why he could be so sure of it.
“You haven’t opened it yet. How can you be sure that they are correct?” Kara asked doubtfully.
“This is a message from our system. I remember it,” the man said with a serious expression.
The man who came to collect the bonus was annoyed as he snatched his phone from the official.
“I already said that my message was correct. Hurry up and give me the bonus. I still have things to do this afternoon.”
“Since both of your messages are correct, let’s check the system records.”
The system sent the message to Kara a little earlier. After they checked the system, they would have the result.
At first, Sam avoided this topic. He didn’t want them to investigate. There must be something wrong.
Now that the officials were here, they had no choice but to let them investigate.
The young official sneered when he heard that Nolan wanted to check the system.
The older official felt that since there were correct messages, there must be an explanation. If Kara made a scene, it would not benefit his work at all.
“Then let’s check the records on the computer.”
“I’m sorry. Before you check the records, you must get my boss’s permission.” The supervisor looked at the officials with a troubled expression.
The older official frowned and was about to speak when a man walked over with a computer.
“Sir, if you don’t mind, use my computer.”
The older official was stunned and he nodded. “Thank you for your help.”
Kara immediately grabbed a chair for him and asked him to sit down and take his time to investigate.
The official raised his eyebrows and looked at James, nodding.
Although they did not communicate, Kara felt that they should know each other.
She approached James and beckoned him.
James bent over and waited for what she was going to say.
“Do you know that official?”
“Yes, he is my schoolmate.”
Kara was stunned for a few seconds.
Only then did Kara remember that he had gone abroad to study a long time ago. James was a genius. At that time, James was still a child.
The official took out his badge, entered the system, input his job number, and logged into the system.
He confirmed that the system had sent a message to the man who came to collect the bonus. But the system had sent a message to Kara before.
Why were there two messages for such a big bonus?
This situation had never happened before.
The young official standing behind had expected this situation. He explained with a smile.
“Sir, I have checked. It was the system’s mistake before. The last message was sent after I confirmed with the managers of the Marshall Group.”
Nolan stared at the computer and sneered.
“Then how do you know that the earlier message was a mistake and the last one was correct?
“What makes you and the managers of the Marshall Group so sure?
“The managers of the Marshall Group gave you a lot of money, so you agreed to this decision, right?”
Nolan’s questions became more and more serious and ironic.
The young official blushed and stared at him guiltily.
“If you keep slandering me, I will sue you!”
Nolan shrugged and adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, sneering.
“You can sue me now. I’ll wait for the court summons!”
Everyone was lost for words.
