32 million versus 36 million, it was an extremely clear win.
“Oh, we’ve won.” Hong Dali wiped off the saliva that had dripped down when he was asleep. “Then, after I wash my face, we’ll go get the cars! These are cars worth more than 15 million, it’d be a waste if I don’t take it…”
As Hong Dali who never humiliated himself, it would be such a pity if he didn’t grasp hold of such a good opportunity to whack the face and humiliate the other party!
Ling Xiaoyi covered her mouth and giggled. Actually, it was exactly because of this goofy and adorable personality of Hong Dali that made so many people willing to give their all to serve him.
If he was calculative in every single thing and unreasonable, such that he’d ferociously lecture others once given the opportunity, probably even if he threw in money, there might not be so many people who would be so willing to follow him no matter what.
Very soon, after using about half an hour to wash up and change clothes, Hong Dali groggily walked over. “Sister Xiaoyi, I’m hungry. Let’s go and eat breakfast first…”
“Ah?” Ling Xiaoyi exclaimed in surprise. “Aren’t you going to get the cars from Ko Gohon?”
“It’s only a few cheap cars, my stomach is still the most important.” Hong Dali rubbed his eyes. “It’s really very silly to fight with that retard…”
“O… OK…” A few cars worth more than 15 million cheap? That was the first time she heard that. But since Young Master had spoken, it was naturally no different from an imperial decree. Ling Xiaoyi nodded and said, “Then I’ll get someone to prepare it.”
“Mm… I’ll go and lie on the sofa for a while. Call me when it’s ready.” Hong Dali’s eyes were half-open. This fellow just couldn’t have enough sleep, he’d be lethargic if he didn’t have a full ten hours of sleep every day. But fortunately, he had a good temper and didn’t through tantrums when he woke up. He was truly good-natured!
The two of them went downstairs.
Once they reached the living room, Hong Dali’s mother, Lan Ruoxi, smiled and said, “Oh, our little prodigal has woken up? What are you busy with these days, leaving early and coming home late at night? Quickly let me see, is your health better now?”
Hong Dali’s body had always been quite weak. Though in recent days, he was very energetic and full of vigor, the impression of him being weak was already fixed. Thus, Lan Ruoxi still stared at Hong Dali the same way—even if Hong Dali wanted the stars in the sky, she’d probably go and get them down for him too.
“It’s much better.” Hong Dali sprawled on the sofa. “Mum, recently the development of that piece of land at the outer area of Tianjing Mountain needs to speed up. Do you have construction teams at your side? My dad’s construction teams have gone over too, but it’s still not enough. I want to construct an airport runway…”
“Small rascal, Tianjing City has an airport runway, and you still want to build one?” Though that was what she said, Lan Ruoxi took Hong Dali’s words to heart. “I’ll go and contact people on that. What kind of airport runway do you plan to construct?”
“The best one.” Hong Dali said without thinking. “The best in the whole world. Helicopters, commercial aircraft, fighter jets, remote control airplanes, all of them can land on it. Oh right, make it more sturdy, in case there are other uses of it in the future—for instance, parking a few robots or something…”
He didn’t forget that Uncle Chief had said that the mechanical arm had already been developed. In the future, there might be some kind of robot. Thus, Hong Dali felt that it was still not good enough. “Oh right, you must make a bigger one. I’m scared there will not be enough space if it’s small…”
“Our little prodigal wants to rebel now!” Lan Ruoxi grinned. “Sure, it’s fine as long as you like it. We can afford to construct an international airport. Anyway, I heard that you small rascal has sold all the land and earned more than 6 billion. I’ll go and ask your Uncle Chief for more support and we’ll build the best international airport. By then, I’ll buy you a private jet to drive around and play with, is that okay?”
“This is good, this is good!” Upon hearing this, Hong Dali was instantly invigorated. “I want to drive a simple one. I don’t know how to drive the complicated ones!”
“Haha, sure, no problem, as you please.” Lan Ruoxi instantly agreed, but she didn’t forget to remind him, “Dali, look, you have quite a lot of pretty girls by your side now. Why don’t… You think about when you’re going to give me a grandchild?”
He couldn’t go on with this topic!
“I’ll go and eat!” Hong Dali hurriedly jumped up. “Mum, you can continue on what you’re busy with first, heh heh…”
“This little rascal!” Lan Ruoxi helplessly shook her head. “He runs away quite quickly, but looking at this frantic speed of his, his health should be fine now. Sigh, good, really good.” Thinking up to this point, Lan Ruoxi’s eyes brimmed with tears. “Our little prodigal has finally survived. Back then, I was still thinking about when I might fail to see him again. Ayio, why am I suddenly thinking of all these…”
…
Hong Dali brought along his big group of lackeys, and after fetching Tang Muxin, the group set off to the shop at Tianjing West Second Loop and ate breakfast. Afterward, Ling Xiaoyi asked, “Young Master, are we going to find Ko Gohon now?”
“Ah, OK. Hopefully, this fellow won’t go back on his words, heh heh.” Hong Dali wiped his mouth, satisfied. “Speaking of which, these cars really seem good. It’d be very satisfying to wreck them, heh heh.”
“You’re wrecking them again?” Tang Muxin thought for a while. “That’s good too. This Ko Gohon is so detestable, we might as well just wreck them instead of leaving them to annoy our eyes.”
“Oh right, where is that retard?” Hong Dali thought for a while. “I’ve forgotten…”
“Imperial Hotel, Presidential Suite Number Four!” Tang Muxin humphed. “This type of person stays in the Presidential Suite too, is he a president…”
“Whatever.” Hong Dali snapped his finger. “Let’s go!”
…
Imperial Hotel.
“Young Master, Hong Dali and the rest… They’ve come.” The bodyguard stood in front of Ko Gohon soaked in sweat. “They’re now at the lobby. They said that they’d come over here whenever it’s convenient for Young Master.”
“They’ve come?” Ko Gohon slightly squinted his eyes. “What’s his expression like?”
“Very calm. He’s sat there for quite some time, but he doesn’t seem anxious at all. I got someone to send some tea over and said that Young Master hasn’t woken up yet. Hong Dali only symbolically drank a sip of tea. It should be out of courtesy. After which, he didn’t drink it again.” The bodyguard cautiously said, “Young Master, when are you planning to see him?”
“Mm, someone who doesn’t even know tea ceremony is just so mediocre.” Ko Gohon said in a condescending manner. “Let them wait for a while more and break his spirit. It won’t be so easy for him to act arrogantly in front of me.”
“Yes, Young Master.” The bodyguard said, “This Hong Dali really looks like someone who doesn’t have a care in the world. This time, he was probably just lucky to have made that so-called Hatsune Tianyi. I believe that he isn’t Young Master’s match in other aspects.”
“It’s just a stroke of luck, so it doesn’t matter if he’s gleeful for a while.” Ko Gohon coldly laughed. “He’s just a mere squandering scion of the Sangle Company. Could he be compared to me?”
“Yes, only Young Master is the true embodiment of the arrival of the heavenly star.” The bodyguard respectfully said, “All the others are just paper tigers. We can’t take them seriously.”
“Mm, you’ve become quite good with your words recently.” Ko Gohon was very satisfied with his bodyguard’s flattering. “Go and ask him to see me 10 minutes later.” Currently, Ko Gohon was more like a victor. Of course, that was only what he thought.
The bodyguard, meanwhile, thought, If I don’t suck up to him now, I’ll definitely be slapped again…
Ten minutes later.
Ko Gohon was neatly dressed and accompanied by eight bodyguards as they arrived at the first-floor lobby of Imperial Hotel. In order to create an imposing aura, he walked grandly and was dressed in the most expensive specially tailored suit, and on his feet was a pair of expensive shoes made from crocodile skin. On his wrist was a gold watch with diamonds embedded all over it. His entire outfit cost at least a few million.
This Imperial Hotel was one of the five-star hotels in Tianjing City. After Ko Gohon purchased it, he was quite strict in his way of managing the hotel. Because he’d predicted that Hong Dali would come today, he allowed all the waiters, chefs, and other outsiders to be on leave today. Thus, the current atmosphere was tense. In a large lobby, there were only two groups of people—Hong Dali’s group, and Ko Gohon’s group.
Ko Gohon stopped in front of Hong Dali and glanced at him, slightly raising his eyebrow. After which, he sat on the sofa opposite Hong Dali.
By then, the bodyguards had already served the tea. Ko Gohon slowly took a cup and then condescendingly glanced at Hong Dali. He didn’t mention about the bet between the two of them, and instead, appeared calm and composed as he said, “Does Mr. Hong Dali have any insights about the tea ceremony in the Jaban Empire?”
He didn’t mention about the bet, but instead, talked about tea ceremony. It was obvious that he’d already guessed that Hong Dali had come today to wage a battle. Thus, he planned to catch him by surprise to win, and break Hong Dali’s spirit by insulting him. In that case, it would be easier to negotiate later on.
He felt that a prodigal like Hong Dali would definitely not understand about tea ceremony.
In fact, it was the truth. Before his transmigration, Hong Dali was just an ordinary university student. How would he know about such a high-class thing like tea ceremony? Upon hearing Ko Gohon’s words, Tang Muxin, who was sitting beside Hong Dali, instantly wanted to help Hong Dali. However, what Hong Dali said laid waste to everything that Ko Gohon had prepared to say later on. “I’m really not sure about the tea ceremony in your country. But I just know that the tea in our Heavenly State was discovered 5,000 years ago by the Saint Shennong. Back then, I remember there was still no Jaban State, right… Oh right, how many years of history does your country have?”
“You!” Ko Gohon was instantly stunned.
Hong Dali was truly cunning. This was called besieging Wei to rescue Zhao 1 . He didn’t fight Ko Gohon directly, but instead, indirectly launched his attack. But it just had to be that it wasn’t good for Ko Gohon if he replied—it had been stated clearly in history, thus, no matter how thick-skinned Ko Gohon was, he wouldn’t dare to say that Jaban State had a longer history than Heavenly State…
“Silly way of taking advantage of your way with words.” After being stunned for a while, Ko Gohon said this with much difficulty, then he drank a sip of tea and gave himself an out. “You’ve woken up so early today to come here? You haven’t eaten breakfast, right? That’s true, cars that costs 15 million is indeed not a small figure to you. But since you’ve come, I don’t mind treating you to breakfast.”
After saying that, Ko Gohon coldly looked at Hong Dali, thinking, He came over so diligently after winning, his eager behavior is really a joke.
