Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal

“Haha, Qian Youjin. It’s done. That prodigal Hong Dali received your message very decisively.” In Imperial Hotel, Presidential Suite number four, Ko Gohon gleefully sat on the sofa, drinking premium red wine as he laughed heartily. “As expected, he’s a prodigal. Sigh, speaking of which, I suffered so much injustice in losing the bet to him previously.”

Seated in front of Ko Gohon was a young man who looked very ordinary. His looks were very ordinary, and he was also dressed very ordinarily. But as long as one saw his pair of eyes, one wouldn’t be able to help but shudder. That pair of eyes gave people a feeling that he was like a poisonous snake, the most poisonous one.

Qian Youjin, he was called Youjin ¹ , and he really did have money.

He was the Big Young Master of the Qian Family in the nation, which was ranked second place in the energy industry, and the sole successor in the future.

It was not an overstatement to say that his resources were not the least lacking compared to Hong Dali’s.

“Hehe, Young Master, Hong Dali is indeed adept in terms of entertainment. I look up to him in this aspect.” Qian Youjin smiled and shook his head. “Previously, I had to trouble Young Master to make this trip. I’m really sorry about that.”

“Anyway, I was planning to go there and it was just along the way. It’s nothing.” Ko Gohon didn’t really think much about this. Anyway, he’d only done it along the way and also went to take a look at whether Hong Dali was really so much of a prodigal as he was said to be.

Now, the results made him very satisfied. “This prodigal Hong Dali looks like he was only lucky previously, and perhaps, he has a bit of talent the entertainment business. Heh heh, but it really feels quite good now that we cheated him of 65 million.”

“Young Master,” Qian Youjin laughed along as well, then asked, “This time, I feel that you’ve overreacted a little by spending so much to strip him of his title of the Rookie King of the Year in the Hong Family. No matter how lucky he is, he is still a prodigal. Young Master, you’re not really viewing him as an opponent, right? I might still be on the same league as him to play around, but you’re really too good for that.”

He wasn’t wrong to say that. Ko Gohon’s ability was indeed much stronger compared to Hong Dali’s.

“What do you know.” Ko Gohon smiled. “This is called how a lion exerts its full strength even when it’s fighting against a rabbit. I’m uprooting all the potentially dangerous situations that might happen in the future. This is the experience and lessons learned by our Toyoda Conglomerate over the years.”

“Yes, yes, Young Master. As expected, your thoughts are superior. Young Master is great, hehe.” Qian Youjin hurriedly took the chance to suck up to Ko Gohon.

“Heh heh, now that that Nuoya smartphone company and Flying Bull basketball team has found this prodigal Hong Dali to take over them, your pocket money must have increased by quite a lot, right?” Ko Gohon smiled as if he were hinting at something. “This sum of money is not small.”

“Look at what you’ve said!” How would Qian Youjin not know what Ko Gohon meant by saying this? “I’ll treat this money as my way of respecting you, Young Master!”

“Hahaha! In that case, I won’t stand on courtesy!” Ko Gohon roared with laughter. “This prodigal Hong Dali, I really don’t know what he’s thinking. Rest assured, in the future, at the Resource Chamber of Commerce meeting, our Toyoda Conglomerate will definitely support you to the fullest! I guarantee this upon my reputation!”

“Thank you, Young Master!”

…

The outer area of Tianjing Mountain, in the park Hong Dali had recently renovated.

“Gosh, this place is really quite well renovated!” Hong Dali sat on the shell of the alligator snapping turtle, shading his eyes with his hands as he looked at the surroundings that had already been improved by quite a bit. He said in satisfaction, “Ha, this is what I want! Not bad, not bad, quite pleasing. It’s exactly the type that I like!”

Now, everyone at this side of Tianjing knew that Hong Dali liked nature. Thus, they didn’t dare to do too many changes to it. Anyway, since it was a park free of charge, by making some high-end entertainment facilities, then setting up fences around and putting some animals within, it would be more or less complete.

Moreover, that twisting mountain road that Hong Dali had specially requested to be made according to the topography already had a preliminary scale to it. Probably not long after, this road would be able to be officially used.

“Xinxin,” Hong Dali crossed his legs and gulped down his drink as he asked Tang Muxin, “The renovation is going quite well over here. Do you think that we can move all our animals here? Mm, I must go all out in squandering. Let’s hire some professional animal doctors to groom them every now and then and bathe, brush them and so on, what do you think?”

“Huh?!” Tang Muxin was stunned upon hearing this. “Will it work? The cats and dogs are still easy to take care, but are you planning to do this for the tigers, wild wolves, bears and so on?!” Oh god, would the keeper be eaten up?

“Of course!” Hong Dali fiercely nodded. “We must be kind to animals. But I think they probably wouldn’t eat people up…”

“What probably!” Tang Muxin was frustrated. “What if they really hurt people?!”

“True!” Hong Dali thought for a while. “Then what about this, when all the animals have been moved over here, I’ll train them!”

“You training animals?!” Tang Muxin opened her eyes wide and exclaimed. “Really? Can you do it?”

“Of course! I’m the Animal’s Best Friend!” Hong Dali grinned. “To think of it, I really haven’t walked the dogs for a long time. Next time, I’ll walk a tiger! When there’s a chance, I’ll buy two pandas and walk them together!”

Tang Muxin: “…”

You might as well walk a dinosaur!

After inspecting the park, Hong Dali let out a long breath and said, “Gosh, looks like this place is going to be fully built very soon. Let’s go and take a look at the school as well. Speaking of which, I haven’t seen Sister Xiaoyi’s brother, Ling Mufeng for a long time. I wonder how Principal Wang is doing as well. He should be doing fine, hoho.”

“Yes. Then let’s go now.” Anyway, there wasn’t much good stuff at the park. Thus, he instantly changed to the other stop, New Lanxiang campus city!

The group instantly set off. Alas, halfway through their journey, Hong Dali saw that Ling Mufeng and Principal Wang had come over to welcome them—since they were going there, and Hong Dali had said that they hadn’t seen each other for quite some time, Ling Xiaoyi had called her brother and thus, the two people went out to receive them.

Principal Wang now was very energetic and in good health—perhaps because the progress of building the school had been quite fast. Thus, once Hong Dali saw him, he’d maintained the most sincere smile on his face. It could be seen that this old man was truly quite concerned about the education field. Ling Mufeng looked like he’d become much more mature by following by his side as well.

Hong Dali could be carefree towards others, but he still had to maintain his respect towards this Principal Wang who had stood in as the Principal. If a nation wasn’t even respectful towards education, then it would not be able to achieve much progress. Before his transmigration, Hong Dali was an outstanding university student of the province. Thus, he had always been respectful towards teachers.

“Principal Wang, I haven’t really been visiting the school recently. How’s the construction going?” Hong Dali got off from the alligator snapping turtle and grinned as he asked.

“The progress is quite good. A few main buildings have now more or less been built. The nation is quite efficient this time.” Upon hearing Hong Dali’s mention of the school, Principal Wang was extremely pleased with it. “At the moment, if we’re not so particular about things, we can actually already start having lessons. Lodging is not an issue as well.” Speaking up to this point, he suddenly sighed and shook his head. “But the problem is, not only are there no students at the moment, there aren’t even teachers. This is a very serious problem.”

A school without students and teachers would only be counted as an empty shell.

“Oh… That’s simple.” Hong Dali casually said, “Our Heavenly State has much land and resources. There’s definitely be many hidden experts. Why don’t our school do some martial arts training first? My follower Geezer Wang is really good in martial arts. Get him to teach it and strengthen their bodies, and in the future, we’ll dominate all the boxing competitions in the world!”

Speaking of Geezer Wang, this Principal Wang wasn’t very familiar with him. After all, he didn’t watch The Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre: Pugilistic World. But Ling Mufeng’s eyes totally lit up. “Brother Dali, he’s the person who is adept with tens of types of martial arts, Wang Daoming, Teacher Wang?”

“En, right, it’s him! It definitely won’t be a problem if he teaches!” Hong Dali nodded.

“But that’s only one person!” Principal Wang said in frustration. “We can’t only teach the children martial arts and English, right?” The English that he spoke of would, of course, be taught by Ling Mufeng.

Such a big school, and adding in Principal Wang as one of them, there would only be three teachers. This figure was truly a bit too small…

Hong Dali was rather troubled as well. Fortunately, he suddenly thought of an idea and stealthily said, “Oh right, I’ve thought of something. Principal Wang, you’ve previously seen the Bureau Chief arrive in a helicopter here, right?”

Principal Wang thought for a while, and very soon he recalled. After all, he’d only seen a helicopter once in his entire life. “I remember, that person is a big leader. Would he be able to help our school in recruiting teachers?”

“Let me put it this way!” At this point, he would be doing himself an injustice by not conveniently smearing the Bureau Chief’s name a bit as well. Hong Dali resolutely said, “We’ve always addressed him as Bureau Chief, but in fact, I’ve always called him Uncle Chief. Anyway, it’s… How should I put this, it just means that you can just tell him whatever you need and he would be able to get it done for you on time! Oh right, have you heard of the story of Aladdin and the magic lamp? You haven’t? Then what about Timely Rain, Song Gongming? No, as well? Then you should have heard of Sun Wukong, right?”

This time, Principal Wang had finally understood. “You can just say that he’s infinitely resourceful…”

“Anyway, it’s more or less the case!” Hong Dali nodded. “With him, the problem with the lack of teachers would definitely be resolved!”

“Alright.” Principal Wang felt that someone who could come down from the helicopter in the sky should be more dependable. “What about the students? Where do we find them?”

“The student problem is easy to solve.” It was previously still quite difficult to resolve this, but now it was simple. “I bought a village a few days ago, called Water Spirit Village. I saw quite a lot of little children in that village. We can get them all to study over here and provide food and lodging for them.” Speaking up to this point, Hong Dali was very serious. “Also, I’d promised you previously to take in orphans. This should not be a problem, right?”

“OK!” This time, Principal Wang was finally satisfied and firmly nodded his head. After which, he praised Hong Dali, “Good job in squandering like this, I like people like you!”

Tang Muxin had a strong urge to kick him. Are you praising or mocking him?!

Of course, she couldn’t really kick him. Principal Wang was not young anymore… She had to respect the elderly!
