Chapter 195 - You Are Overconfident (1/2)
“What’s the matter with the Yuanmingyuan Imperial Garden?” Hao Ning felt something wrong when walking. The Sidney Opera House and the Big Ben in Loundon appeared in the distance, “I remember that there are no those things in the Garden. Have you misunderstood the Garden?”
“This happens after I get rich‒” Zhou Yuan explained, and he added when he saw Hao Ning’s strange eyes, “I mean my mom imagines that I become rich and I will build a new Yuanmingyuan Imperial Garden, so a lot of things are added into the Garden. In her imagination, all will cost 500 billion dollars with collaboration of 1.5 billion people.”
“It’s impossible!” Hao Ning muttered, “1.5 billion people! Are you insane? How could it be with 500 billion dollars with an average cost of over 100 dollars per person? That does not include the cost of sites and materials! Nobody will do that with so little money.”
“So little money? She imagines that I spend 1.5 billion dollars to pay the fee to 1.5 billion people, with an average of 0.1 billion dollars per person! If you get this chance, you must will come.” Zhou Yuan scratched his head and felt a little bit proud, “and it is easy to handle the issues of people. I can introduce labor from the Country Ah-san with 0.1 billion dollars per person. All will come.”
“Are you insane!” Hao Ning dragged Zhou Yuan and said seriously, “1.5 billion dollars with 0.1 billion dollars per person? Who does the account?”
“Me! What’s the problem?” Zhou Yuan answered strangely and started to count by his fingers, “look! 1.5 billion dollars for 1.5 billion people. Each person will get 0.1 billion dollars. So easy! You can’t figure it out?”
“Ha‒” Xiao Hong aside laughed, “it is lucky that we are not in a financial company, or you will sell the CEO out and you even do not notice that.”
“What’s the problem!” Zhou Yuan got a little bit crazy, “1.5 billion dollars for 1.5 billion people! Each one will get 0.1 billion exactly!” How easy the division!”
“Come on! Each one will get 1 dollar” Hao Ning felt funny and told Zhou Yuan after the old woman walked far away, “You miss the unit of 0.1 billion or 100 million! If each one gets 0.1 billion dollars, 1.5 billion dollars will get 0.2 billion dollars! Oh God! I am confused,” Hao Ning showed his phone to Zhou Yuan: “watch!”
Zhou Yuan watched the phone and got shocked: “Holy shit! So many zeros!”
“Stop counting!” Xiao Hong laughed, “it’s 1.5 billion times 1.5 billion, my great designer!”
“What the hell…” Zhou Yuan wiped his head, “so much, 500 billion dollars is not sufficient for the labor cost!”
“How brave your family is!” Hao Ning PRAISED Zhou Yuan, “your mom is so overconfident!”
Hao Ning and Xiao Hong stunned when talking and they saw a helicopter with the door opened.
“Where is my mom?” Zhou Yuan asked the servants aside.
“The Grand Madam flew away,” A servant bowed and explained, “she suddenly wants to watch the live Empresses in the Palace, so she took the private helicopter to go home. Now the imperial concubine Sun is in stage…”
“Ha, Bro Hao Ning,” Xiao Hong withheld his laugh, “you guess right exactly. She is not overconfident.”
“I surrender,” Hao Ning massaged his forehead and felt crazy, “how amazing the family is! I can’t compare them…”
“And then let’s go?” Zhou Yuan knew what Hao Ning was talking about and said nothing and pointed to the plain.
“What’s going on?” Hao Ning stared at the helicopter blankly, “where are we going?”
“We are going to my reception room!” Zhou Yuan said with a strange face, “OK, the room in my mom’s imagination, namely the Palace of Heavenly Purity.”
“Dong!” Hao Ning sat on ground, “You are the emperor?”
“What are you talking about!” Zhou Yuan blushed and said, “I am just the richest man, and um, is it not the imagination of my mom?”
“Stop bullshit!” Hao Ning sat on the ground and did not stand up. He shouted to Zhou Yuan, “there is no the Palace of Heavenly Purity in the Yuanmingyuan Imperial Garden! It’s common sense!”
“Don’t you remember?” Xiao Hong lowered his head and said to Hao Ning, “it is the imagination of Zhou Yuan’s mother—”
“Be polite, ok?” Zhou Yuan had been mocked by Hao Ning and Xiao Hong since they came in. Now he was at the right point and said in a pretending angry mood, “no cursing!”
“Who did I curse?” Xiao Hong laughed, “How rich the son of Zhou Yuan’s mom is! He built the Palace of Heavenly Purity in the Yuanmingyuan Imperial Garden! It’s not wired that 1.5 billion dollars is divided to 1.5 billion people and each one can get 0.1 billion dollars. How smart you are, Zhou Yuan?”
Zhou Yuan felt embarrassed and cursed angrily, “Let’s get in the car, no! The plane!”
“You want to get something special. How funny,” Hao Ning felt funny and stood up.
“Something’s wrong,” Hao Ning looked out of the window from the plane, “we are leaving the Garden but why do we not arrive at the emperor-level reception room? Where is your Palace of Heavenly Purity?”
“I did not build the Palace,” Zhou Yuan looked out of the window angrily.
“And then where are we going?” Xiao Hong felt confused, “now we are not in your home?”
“The Palace of Heavenly Purity is in the Imperial Palace,” Zhou Yuan looked back and explained, “I have bought the Imperial palace—in my mom’s imagination…”
“Xiao Hong, help me,” Hao Ning leaned against the window exaggeratedly, “I am in an oxygen deficit.”
“I need your help!” Xiao Hong held his neck and he seemed to be dead quickly, “my power is not sufficient! Thousand-year practice now is destroyed!”
“You two!” Zhou Yuan said in a bitter smile, “I beg to you. Don’t make fun of me!”
“Fine, let you go,” Xiao Hong looked at Zhou Yuan sympathetically, “you are good enough. He even bought the Imperial Palace to your mom! It’s not an easy task.”
“Hey, where is Zhou Yuan’s mom?” Hao Ning asked strangely, “your servant said she took the helicopter to the sky, and now, where is she?”
“Her room,” Zhou Yuan looked out of the window, “the Palace of Compassion and Tranquility.”
“She is the empress dowager…” Hao Ning sighed, “ah, what does her plain look like? She took another helicopter?”
“No!” Zhou Yuan said in the accent of Beijing city and seemed he was in the capital. “She won’t take such low-level tools. She took the space shuttle.”
“Space shuttle? That is used by spaceman!” Hao Ning got crazy, “She takes that to her room?”
“There must be some differences between the imagined world and the reality,” Xiao Hong couldn’t stop laughing even if she promised not to laugh at Zhou Yuan, “The Grand Madam wanted to be richer than other people, even in the vehicle. The spaceship definitely takes her to the Palace of Compassion and Tranquility.”
As expected, the plane filed for a whole in the sky and landed on a square. After they landed, they found that the white railings carved by white marble were in front of them. Looking forward, a huge hall stood upright. There was a big horizontal inscribed board on the door of the hall, which read three big characters: Qian Qing Palace (the Palace of Heavenly Purity).
“Ah?” Hao Ning looked at the horizontal inscribed board and felt strange. He pointed at the board and asked Zhou Yuan, “the board in the emperor’s office. It is so…! I can’t describe it well!”
“Yes, I can’t find it if you do not mention it,” Xiao Hong looked at it carefully and found that it was not made of wood but by polyfoam with painted gold lacquer. Xiao Hong said, “Zhou Yuan, you bought a knockoff and it seemed that the board was fake too?”
“It is absolutely not a knockoff,” Zhou Yuan saw these two keep studying the board and said with a bitter smile, “the Palace of Heavenly Purity is not the imagination of your mom? She has not been to the real Imperial Palace so that those images are created according to those TV plays with low quality and cost. They are absolutely fake!”
“I see…” Xiao Hong could not help but laugh, “your mom is so smart,” and then Xiao Hong turned to Hao Ning, “let’s go. Let’s have a look at this Palace!”
“I can’t believe,” Hao Ning praised the scene unwillingly, “that it is my first time to visit the Imperial Palace and it should be the imagination of Zhou Yuan’s mom.”
“Disgusting,” Zhou Yuan had a glimpse at Hao Ning and he knew Hao Ning was making fun of him. He said, “let’s go and try to find the solution inside.”
When all came in, they found Zhou Yuan’s mom was sitting on the throne.
“Untie?” Hao Ning asked strangely, “Why are you sitting here instead of the Palace of Earthly Tranquility. Do you want to attend the state affairs?”
