358 This Sounds Really Scary! (1/2)
”En… Yes. One hundred pieces.” Hearing the Bureau Chief's shocked voice, Hong Dali curiously asked, ”Is that a big figure?”
”Brat, what do you think?!” The Bureau Chief said, ”We only managed to produce ten pieces after receiving the blueprint. The cost of each piece is more than 3 million! Now you say you want a hundred pieces!”
Okay, three million a piece, one hundred pieces would be three hundred million. That does sound like a lot…
Hong Dali gave it a second thought and said, ”Alright, alright. Uncle Chief, I'll take twenty pieces then. I'll pay for them. It's not like I'm short of money. I just sold the land at West Fourth Loop for over eighty billion two days ago…”
The Bureau Chief thought, This is little ancestor. Even as a Bureau Chief, he couldn't afford to offend him. He helplessly said, ”I know you're not short of money. How about this. I'll get you twenty pieces. Forget about the money. If you have any interesting things, remember to give them to me. Oh, and these twenty pieces of Mechanical Holy Garment, don't leak it overseas. This is our Heavenly State's army core equipment. It's important.”
Hong Dali laughed as he agreed. ”Uncle Chief is the best! When can I get them?”
The Bureau Chief thought about it. ”In about a week's time, maybe. This is a delicate thing. Tianying Car Company is rushing the production for the exterior. I'll send them over together with the Mechanical Holy Garment, then. Remember, this is top secret.”
The exterior at Tianying Car Company? Granzon and Valsion? I wonder if there is any turbine engine?
Hong Dali grinned. ”Uncle Chief, you're the best. Don't worry. If I have anything good, I'll send them to you in an instant. Hehe. I won't disappoint you.”
The Bureau Chief was happy. ”Haha. This 60 million was not spent for nothing. Dali, remember, be careful. Oh yes, I heard you bought Water Spirit Village. Did you think of something new?”
Hong Dali was shocked. ”The news sure spread fast. I like how the place looks, so I bought it. I haven't got any plans for it yet.”
”Brat, don't humor me!” The Bureau Chief was a little angry. ”Don't be dishonest with me. I waited for you to tell me personally. But it seems you bought it purely for the sake of squandering. I need to hurry, this cannot be delayed. Go home and wait. I'll be there shortly!”
What the heck. I really just bought the land for fun. There was no other intention. Does the Bureau Chief think we are going to rebel?
That's not right. He should know what kind of person I am. Why did he pick me out? Why is that?
Forget it, we'll go home first and see what the Bureau Chief is thinking. He sure is in a rush…
Hong Dali quickly agreed. ”Okay, okay, okay. I'll go home now. Take your time, Uncle Chief. Let me take a shower and have a change of clothes… I'm dusty all over coming back from Water Spirit Village.”
”Brat, we'll talk when we meet!” Bureau Chief hung up the phone promptly.
Damn, what's the rush?
Hong Dali got anxious too. ”Everyone, let's hurry up and set off for home. Uncle Chief is coming to my house!”
It was not a small matter for the Bureau Chief to go to his house. Hong Dali promptly set off.
Soon, they arrived at the Hongwu Villa. The old housekeeper was already waiting at the door. Once he saw Hong Dali alighting from the car, he hurried over to welcome them. ”Young Master, Master and Madam are waiting for you in the living room. They have gotten the news that the Bureau Chief is arriving soon.”
”Ah? Really? It's so serious? It's normal for us to buy land and squander, why did Uncle Chief make it so scarily serious?”
Let's not care about that first. Let me have a change of clothes.
Back at the living room, his father Hong Weiguo and mother Lan Ruoxi were both present. Hong Weiguo looked the same, in plain home clothes. His mother Lan Ruoxi was in a dark purple nightgown, looking very elegant.
”Mum, Dad, I'm home.” Hong Dali greeted them before heading upstairs.
Although Hong Weiguo didn't know why the Bureau Chief was in such a hurry, he was still all smiles as he called Hong Dali over. ”Little rascal, don't be in a hurry to rush up.”
Hong Weiguo didn't know if Hong Dali got into any trouble, but Hong Weiguo's voice was gentle as usual. Even the blind could see his love for Hong Dali.
Hong Dali stopped where he was and curiously asked, ”Ah? Dad, what is it? All I did was buy a piece of land. I didn't do anything else!”
”No matter what our little prodigal does, it's beyond the reproach.” Lan Ruoxi's eyes smiled as she looked at Hong Dali, as usual. She gently combed his hair which was messed up from running all over the world. ”No matter what you did this time, whether it's good or bad, we are not going to say anything about it. Your father just wanted to reassure you, that's all.”
