Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal

Now that all of the important matters had been settled, Hong Dali decisively gave the employees a break. “OK, everyone go have fun today. Except for the money used on seeking out women, I will pay for all of your other expenses! Also, help me look out for game developers. I will purchase them directly!”

“Play as they like, Young Master would be paying the expenses”—that was definitely the happiest news they heard today. Everyone exclaimed: “Thank you, Young Master, for the generosity!” Then, they flowed out of the building in waves. Those wanting to drink, drank. Those wanting to flirt, flirted. They had their Young Master backing them up anyway, they would not be afraid even if the sky collapsed!

Very soon, the building was almost empty. The originally packed living hall was now empty, only leaving Hong Dali and his group. Hong Dali leaned against the sofa, supporting his head with his hands. He let out a comfortable sigh and said, “We can’t play there today, it’s too packed. I hate crowded places.”

When there were a lot of people, it was noisy and messy. It was like thousands of flies flying around his ear. Hong Dali disliked that.

Li Nianwei was very understanding and comforted him. “Young Master, why don’t we go walk the dogs. Today’s weather is quite warm and comfortable, it will be very beneficial for our bodies.”

“Yup, this is a good idea.” Tang Muxin agreed too, but she felt a little unhappy in the end. “A pity that I didn’t bring Xiao Xiaobai.”

“Didn’t I also not bring Xiao Xiao? The caretaker is taking care of her.” Hong Dali stood up suddenly and said, “Just find any random dogs and let’s walk them! Lackeys, let’s go!”

“Yes, Young Master!” Ever since this phrase existed, only Hong Dali’s lackeys exercised it to the limit…

…

At the same time, Tang Muxin’s home.

This was near Tianjin’s west third loop, nearing the fourth loop, and only a few rivers’ apart. Tang Muxin’s house was in the district of the rich Shangjing Grand Garden.

Normally speaking, having a smart daughter and a beautiful wife, Tang Ruisi’s life should have been blissful. However, a gloomy atmosphere filled his house now. Tang Ruisi sat on a real leather sofa, frowning his eyebrows and smoking non-stop.

“Old Tang, don’t worry. If you worry yourself out and damage your body, that will only put us in an even more difficult position. Forest Medical Enterprise will start celebrating.”

Yuan Jieya was only slightly above 40 years old this year, an age where a woman was most charming. Especially because she was also very pretty, and her character was smooth like water. However, she was unlike most women whose looks and intelligence quotient were exact opposites. The reason that Tang Muxin was so pretty was mainly because of the outstanding genes she inherited from her mother.

Tang Ruisi sucked in a deep breath, extinguished the cigarette butt, smiled and said, “Sigh, that side is following very tightly. I can’t afford to be relaxed in the slightest. Now, which of our two companies can complete the research project first will emerge victoriously. The losing side might lose all of the capital used in the research project. After all, in the field of medical research, the one who succeeds and announce it on the news first will cause the result to be fixed. The possibility of turnover will be very small then.” Speaking to this point, he gradually shook his head and said, “Now that the money that I borrowed from the Hong family is mostly used, if we fail, I won’t be able to face Hong Weiguo and his wife anymore, sigh.”

“You’re right, there isn’t anything we can do now.” Yuan Jieya softly sighed and said, “I understand that. But Old Tang, how did our research plan got leaked out in the first place? Not only did our research plan got leaked out, but even the files were also stolen. If we don’t find the spy, even if we finish the research first, if it gets stolen before we finish with the experiments, our positions will be even more difficult.”

“A spy, hehe.” Tang Ruisi gave a bitter smile and said, “This person is too well hidden, I don’t have any ideas at all. I don’t have any clue as to who the culprit is. If our plan wasn’t leaked, why would we need to lower our face and borrow money from the Hong Family by almost selling our daughter to speed up the research process? Hong Weiguo might not blame me, but this matter was my wrongdoing. I feel bad in my heart, sigh. If Xinxin liked Hong Dali, it wouldn’t be much of a problem, but the fact is that she doesn’t like him. Such a father as I…”

“I know that you’re anxious, but don’t be like this. If you fall sick, it will only make matters worse.” Yuan Jieya sighed and said, “All we can do now is to be more careful. We can’t afford to make any more mistakes, at least before we can be sure that we won’t lose. Although that child Dali likes to squander, his virtues are not bad. If not, Xinxin would not have gone out and frequently played with him. Don’t be anxious anymore, let’s take things one step at a time. If they can really get together, that might not be a bad thing. After all, money isn’t everything—it’s the virtues that are more important. The only thing I’m worried about now is that Dali’s body seems to be too weak. I fear that he will… sigh…”

“Yes, that’s what I’m worried about too. I fear that Xinxin will become a widow in the future. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have objected to them being together. Who can bear to watch their own daughter face such a fate? But from the current looks of things, we can only let things be.” Tang Ruisi slowly breathed in. “Oh right, don’t tell Xinxin about the things in the family, I don’t want her to worry.”

“Yes, I know. Don’t worry.”

…

Hong Dali naturally didn’t know of the matters happening in the Tang Family. He was carrying two Samoyeds, Tang Muxin was carrying two Chow Chows, while the Driver had a special liking to Labradors. The nine lackeys each held two Tibetan Mastiffs, while Li Nianwei and Zhang Cai both wore sunglasses and scarfs, each carrying two Huskies.

Such a group walking on the road, they caused the entire area near the fourth loop’s Ye Lai Xiang to be full of noise. The passengers all walked far away from them, keeping a distance of at least ten plus meters, fearing that the dogs would get agitated and rush down and bite them.

Of course, the rate of people looking back at them was 100% for sure.

“Ah, this is so boring…” Although the rate of people looking back was very high, Hong Dali still felt bored. As he walked, he yawned. “There’s nothing interesting to play with. Any of you can think of something to squander?”

“No! Definitely no!” Tang Muxin furiously shook her head. “Walking the dogs now is already not bad. I think this is good enough. Look at these two Chow Chows, aren’t they fun?”

“Ah… I have finished reading the novels, and there aren’t any interesting shows on the television now as well.” Hong Dali felt that he was going to break down. They had now walked to the small hill near Fengyuan Lake that he had previously brought. Hong Dali looked at the top of the hill. “The mountain stronghold hasn’t started building yet, I can’t even go there and experience being a bandit lord…”

Feeling Hong Dali’s depression, Tang Muxin got depressed too. “Yes, carefully thinking about it, there really isn’t anything that we can do now. The television shows are not interesting at all either, it’s so boring.”

“Exactly.” Hong Dali pouted. “At least shoot some interesting drama, or even create some talent show… eh? Talent show? Wait, let me think, this thing really hasn’t been done before. This is worth investigating.”

The more he thought about it, the more spirited he became. The light from his eyes almost blinded Tang Muxin. “Dali, what kind of crooked idea do you have now? I’m warning you, you can’t squander so much anymore. There’s a limit to one’s luck!”

“There’s a limit to one’s luck, but there isn’t any limit to one’s capability!” Hong Dali violently clapped his hands, laughed loudly, and said, “How did I forget this matter!? Let’s open up another show! Hahaha, this time, let’s open up a talent show!”

“Talent show!?” Tang Muxin shouted. “Aren’t Sister Nianwei and me not enough for you to look at? You still want to make a talent show!?”

Li Nianwei who was at the side pursed her lips, smiled and said, “The talent show that Young Master is talking about isn’t a beauty contest, right? Young Master doesn’t seem to be that kind of pervert.”

“Heh heh. Sister Nianwei knows me well!” Finally, he had something to do. Hong Dali felt very happy. “The talent show I’m talking about is actually something like a singing contest! A few singers will be singing on stage, and the audience will be giving them points. The last in place will be kicked out! The name of the competition shall be called ‘I Am a Singer’!”
