Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal

Sucking in a deep mouthful of smoke, Hong Weiguo thought for a while and gradually said, “We can’t avoid it, whatever the result is. This matter can be big or minor depending on how we look at it. If they want it, there’s nothing we can do to reject them. An individual can never go against the country. Therefore, there’s one thing that you need to do immediately.”

The secretary asked, “What is it? Please tell me.”

“We have to ensure that we will obtain the most benefit.” Hong Weiguo sat back down on his chair. He laid out the map and pointed at a location. “Look, this is the outer area of Tianjing Mountain. We have already bought seven mountains there, including the plain field. Currently, we are already building a school and a laboratory there. Then, according to previous reports, the other places can be used to develop and build a filming base. Therefore!”

Speaking up to this point, Hong Weiguo violently slapped the map. “Speed up the process, but not too fast. Basically, the initial work must be mostly completed! This way, even if they want to reclaim the land, they will have to pay more for it! Much more than what we invested!”

“I understand.” The secretary nodded and said, “CEO Hong’s meaning is that we should speed up the initial development so that we’ll be able to better negotiate with them. For example, if we invested 10 million, plus the 60 million used to buy the land, our total cost will be 70 million. But if the government wants to reclaim the land, they will have to pay much more than that.”

“Yes, that’s what I mean.” Hong Weiguo laughed and said, “After all, we are the ones who found that place. If they want to reclaim it without any cost, that’s impossible.” Saying so, Hong Weiguo looked at the secretary. “But there’s something I need to remind you. Remember, don’t do everything for the sake of money. Many a time, the country might not have that much money, but they might use something else as an exchange.”

“Huh?” The secretary was a bit dazed. Although his intelligence quotient was very high, his experience in this aspect was still incomparable to Hong Weiguo. “What CEO Hong means is that we can negotiate for other terms and conditions with them?”

Hong Weiguo nodded. “Correct, something like that. We must ask for other terms. For example, the country may be unwilling to use money to buy back the land, but they may be willing to use other things as an exchange or give us better treatment in other aspects. Overall, we must not be at the losing end. Do you understand?”

“I understand!” The secretary smiled and said, “If they don’t use money, they will have to use more valuable terms as an exchange. Is that right, CEO Hong.”

“Yes.” Hong Weiguo smiled and said, “Hehe, you may go now. Do a good job. When I’m older, you will need to become Dali’s right-hand man, so you mustn’t work sloppily. Don’t worry, the Hong Family will definitely not mistreat you.”

The secretary had very strong faith in Hong Weiguo. He smiled and said, “CEO Hong, actually, many a time, the treatment isn’t everything. I just feel that I’m very happy following you. Very, very happy.

“In fact…”

The secretary paused and said, “There are quite a lot of companies that privately approached me, but I have rejected them all. Because money isn’t the most important thing to me. Being with you will allow me to learn a lot of stuff.”

“Hahaha.” Hong Weiguo laughed loudly. He walked up and patted the secretary’s shoulder. “You are a very outstanding young man. I have always had faith in my judgment. Do a good job. You may need to work harder and earn less now, but in the future, when you can take the lead, you will naturally have everything. OK, you may go now. Do a good job and don’t disappoint me.”

“I know.” The secretary instantly turned around and walked out. “Then, CEO Hong, I shall be leaving.”

“Go.”

After the secretary left, a cold light flashed in Hong Weiguo’s eyes. “Humph, how could I not know that Liu Yihui secretly sent his people to interact with my people. He just wants to put a spy by my side. Hehe, but he really underestimates my sense of judgment. Those who I set my eyes on, how could they be so easily bribed? However, this reminded me, I should be careful of spies around me. I wonder how that old guy Liu Yihui will go about doing it. Hehe, this is quite interesting.”

Tianjing College.

Ring~~~ Finally, the dismissal bell rang.

“Brouhaha! It’s finally time to go home!” After waiting for it for a long time, it was finally dismissal time. Hong Dali excitedly carried his already tidied schoolbag and the little tiger Quentin and ran out of school. He hadn’t forgotten that today was the day where he was going to view Lin Chuyin’s new invention.

“Hahaha. Everyone, hurry up!” Those who were close with Hong Dali all ran along with him.

It was no wonder why people said that those who followed Hong Dali would have benefits too. Lin Chuyin’s laboratory wasn’t a place that just anyone could go. It was extremely dangerous for outsiders, and they might die a terrible death if they are not careful. But for Hong Dali, that was practically his own technological base. All kinds of strange and funny inventions might appear there. Therefore, Hong Dali was very excited.

Just as he ran out of his classroom, he saw Tang Muxin jogging over. This little lass was a beauty in the first place, and now that she was so close to Hong Dali, the surrounding schoolmates all took a few more looks at her. Their gazes were filled with such ambiguous meaning that her face went red from them—even her neck was red too…

“Dali, Sister Chuyin asked us to go to her laboratory, what new invention do you think she has created?” Upon seeing Hong Dali, Tang Muxin anxiously asked. This little lass was very curious about Lin Chuyin’s new invention. It was no wonder people always say that technological geeks were awesome. Just by looking at Lin Chuyin’s super awesome, super luxurious sports car, one could already expect how awesome her new invention would be.

“I have no idea.” Hong Dali said as he walked. “Anything is possible. It might be some new advancements regarding the Holographic Projection Technology, it might also be that there are new discoveries about that Virtual Reality Projection. Of course, it might also be that her exoskeleton armor can cover her whole body now. Who knows.” Speaking up to this point, Hong Dali grinned and said, “If her exoskeleton armor is really completed, I shall throw in money to film a sci-fi movie. Xinxin, you shall be the female lead! How does that sound?”

“Sure! Of course!” Tang Muxin seemed to have a special liking towards filming. She smiled and said, “Dali, what shall the movie be called?”

“We shall name it ‘Iron Man’!” Was there even a need to ask? Hong Dali, who came from his previous life, immediately said. “By that time, we can even save on the money for props, haha!”

“Yup, OK!” Tang Muxin excitedly stared at Hong Dali with her watery eyes. “I will definitely work hard!”

“That’s for sure!” Hong Dali laughed loudly.

After leaving school, driver Wang Mingyu had already brought the car squad and was waiting outside. Now, three Prayer Angel and one Soaring Angel, these four cars were Hong Dali’s signature formation. All those who frequently hang out around their school knew about him.

After boarding the car, the Soaring Angel gradually started. At this time, Ling Yi and the rest also drove their cars out of school and followed behind them towards Lin Chuyin’s laboratory.

However, when they alighted and entered Lin Chuyin’s house’s courtyard, Hong Dali became stunned.

Because, in front of him, a super small-sized device was floating in the air.

The device was the size of a can drink. It’s top was a small propeller, giving out a small humming sound as it spun and floated in the air. Hong Dali took a careful look at it—this small thing should be a small filming device. Being able to float in the air showed how agile it was, just that he hadn’t seen it yet. Without question, this small device must be Lin Chuyin’s new invention.

Speaking of which, this super invincible technological geek’s inventions were all weird and strange. Hong Dali originally thought that the new invention this time should be something to do with the Holographic Projection Technology or the Virtual Reality Projection.

“Wow!” At this moment, those around Hong Dali were all astonished. Ling Yi said, “Brother Dali, is this Blood Consort’s new invention? It’s really incredible, this device is really something out of some science fantasy!” Du Xinzhen said, “I make a prediction that the Blood Consort’s invention will definitely be something awesome. If this was used to peak at someone bathing…” Saying so, he pounced forward and hugged Hong Dali’s legs. “Brother Dali, help me ask for one of this!!!”

Hong Dali: “…”

Tang Muxin walked up and fiercely stamped on Du Xinzhen’s back. “Go and die. Is this wonderful invention of Sister Chuyin for you to use as a peaking device!? If she knew of this, you will die a terrible death!”

“That’s true.” Du Xinzhen mumbled and walked back. He continued to blabber at the back. “Sigh, with this device, I could see whoever’s panties that I wanted to see. If I throw this in the toilet…”

Then, everyone pushed him to the ground and gave him a good beating.

As they were playing around, Lin Chuyin’s voice suddenly sounded from the device. “The preventive measures are turned off now, come in.”

When the voice sounded, everyone was shocked!

Even Hong Dali’s tiger gave a sound of fright—it didn’t understand how did the device give off a human sound!

One must know that normally, for such a small item, there would special storage equipment inside. It couldn’t choose the things to record, but to just record everything that it shot. It wasn’t something that could be controlled.

But now, this thing could actually be used for communication. What did this signify?

This signified that this thing could receive wireless reception! If it could receive wireless reception, it could be remotely controlled!

That meant that this item was already a super advanced spying device! It could be remotely controlled to stop at any place and spy on the area there. The most awesome part was that it could even choose what it wanted to record. In other words, it could instantly transfer the images it captured to its owner’s computer!

If the former type of uncontrollable device could be given ten marks, this one now could be given a 100% marks!

No wonder this technological geek Lin Chuyin said that she had a new invention. Other things aside, if this small device was sent to the nation’s intelligence agency and be modified by a professional team, its worth would be unimaginable!

Of course, that was too distant. Now, Hong Dali grinned, sniffled and said, “Chuyin, can you hear me? Hello, is there any sound over there? Hello!”

“Yes, I can.” Lin Chuyin’s voice was as insipid as ever. “Come in.”

After saying so, the small device adjusted its direction. This time, because Hong Dali’s eyes were constantly looking at it, he saw very clearly. It was indeed as he had thought, this small device had small wings installed on it to adjust its direction and therefore could freely control its direction. It was indeed able to be remote controlled—his invention was definitely awesome!
