”No way! Just like that?” After hearing what Hong Weiguo said, Tang Ruisi was shocked. ”Dali just picked a piece of land randomly and found something good? Underground?”
Having said that, Tang Ruisi had a sudden surge of emotion. He suddenly felt like he had overlooked something.
Hong Weiguo smiled and said, ”Yes, right. Speaking of which, there aren't any ancient ruins or mines of any sort there. However, the commercial value of that piece of land is undeniable.” Hong Weiguo took a sip of his tea and laughed. ”Below that mountain is a huge karst cave. Do you remember there was a stream there? The cave where the stream originates from is an enormous karst cave. We're not sure of the condition, but workers who entered were sure of one thing—the cave is very, very big.”
Tang Ruisi choked on his saliva. ”My god!” He was really shocked this time. ”Karst cave? You just need to explore it slightly and it could become a tourist attraction. How much would that be worth?!”
It was no wonder he was so shocked.
All they had to do was fix up the huge underground karst cave a little, and it could be a super money-making tourist attraction. Just the entrance fees for one year would earn at least tens of millions.
After the brief shock, Tang Ruisi wondered. ”How was it that no one discovered the place before? By rights, if there were such a good place, it should have been found by the land surveyors long ago?”
Hong Weiguo said laughingly, ”Why else would we say our Dali has good luck? It was raining in the first two days, and that caused a small landslide. It was fated. The entrance to the caves was smashed open by the falling rocks from the landslide.”
Hearing that, Tang Ruisi was stunned. That much luck… wasn't it like cheating!?
Having said that much, the two heard a sudden chorus of congratulations from the entrance of the hall. Hong Weiguo turned his head to look and saw a group of people rowdily walk in. The happily smiling leader of the group was his son, Hong Dali.
Hong Dali quickly made his way toward Hong Weiguo. ”Dad, I'm back. I'm late, I'm late. Hehe. Hello Uncle Tang!”
Tang Muxin, who was with Hong Dali, quickly greeted as well. ”Hello, Uncle Hong.”
”Hello, Xinxin. Haha. You little brat, you've got some leadership skills. You know how to protect your followers.” Hong Weiguo's eyes twinkled in happiness whenever he looked at Hong Dali. Even as he looked around at Hong Dali's lackeys, his gaze was approving. Hong Dali may have spent quite a big sum on today's matter, but the rewards were significant. His lackeys were looking at him like pious believers looking upon their God. It was pure idolatry. In today's slang, it was loyalty to the max.
Hong Weiguo then stood up and pulled Hong Dali and Tang Muxin into the crowd. Hong Weiguo made introductions. ”Dali, let me introduce you to someone. This is the Head of Police, Police Chief Dong. Say hello to Uncle Dong.”
Hong Dali greeted him. ”Hello, Uncle Dong. Uncle Dong, you'll have to take care of me if I need help in the future. Hehe.”
Dong Huarong knew Hong Dali's importance in Hong Weiguo's heart and quickly replied. ”Haha. Sure. No problem. It's unexpected that you would take such good care of your followers, Dali. That's good. Haha.”
Hong Weiguo pointed at Boss Jin next. ”This is Boss Jin. He is very influential in the triads. Uncle Jin and Uncle Dong were the ones who helped you when you said you wanted to get rid of the Cabinet's Society.”
Hong Dali didn't dare to disrespect him. ”Hello, Uncle Jin! Uncle Jin, please take care of me in the future.”
Boss Jin had been around for many years and was good at judging people. ”Well said. With a great father like you, your son is sure to be great himself. Dali is indeed not bad. You are decisive and brutal enough, willing to go all out. That bunch of fools said you are a prodigal son. The way I see it, you are not just an ordinary prodigal son! Haha! Aiya, to be honest, I don't dare accept money for such a small favor, but I'm aware CEO Hong doesn't like to be indebted to people, so I accepted a token sum. Don't mind me.”
Everyone laughed.
Li Nianwei saw Dali coming in but hesitated. She wanted to go over but didn't dare to. It was Hong Weiguo who finally waved her over. ”Nianwei, come over. We're one family, after all.”
Having gotten Hong Weiguo's permission, Li Nianwei finally put her mind at ease and went over to Hong Dali. She asked gently, ”Young Master, is everything all right over there?”
Hong Dali smiled and held Li Nianwei's hand. ”It's ok. It's just a small matter. Sister Nianwei, you look beautiful tonight.”Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please clickfor visiting.
Li Nianwei sighed. ”Too bad I couldn't be of any help to Young Master. But I feel better now that Young Master has arrived.”
Hong Dali already saw an attendant pushing in a three-meter high gigantic birthday cake. He said, ”All right, all right. Let's not talk about that anymore. The ceremony is starting, right?”
Hong Weiguo said, smiling, ”Of course. Since our little wastrel is here. Quick go get changed, you're not appropriately dressed. Everything has been prepared for you. Quick go.”
A butler had already approached and led the way for Hong Dali.
They arrived at the place quickly. Two female servants approached. Obviously very professional in undressing people, Hong Dali was down to his underpants in less than twenty seconds…
Looking at his naked body in the mirror, Hong Dali felt slightly uneasy. ”Er… Erm, Butler, it doesn't have to be too formal, right?” He had never actually seen or attended anything like a coming of age ceremony.
