After Liu Mingxin left, Hong Dali touched his chin and looked at Tang Muxin who was sitting beside him. “Xinxin, this guy asked me to join that something auction, what do you think of it? It’s unlikely that he really wants to compete with me to see who can squander more, can it?” Speaking of which, whenever Tang Muxin was with him, Hong Dali especially likely to ask her “what do you think.” It felt really interesting every time he said it.
“I have to say, even though we’re not on the same side, I can’t bring myself to dislike him.” Tang Muxin frowned her cute little nose. “This old guy is very handsome looking and graceful. Even though I know we’re enemies, it’s still hard to be angry at him—but he is definitely plotting something this time, I’m sure of it. As for why he especially came here to invite you to the auction, and his reason for it, I still have to ponder on it.”
“En.” Hong Dali muttered. “He actively invited me to the auction, could it be that he just wants to see me squander?”
“Squander?” Tang Muxin repeated it two more times, and her eyes suddenly lit-up. “Dali, this time, you definitely have to squander!”
“Huh?” Hong Dali curiously asked, “Why are you supporting me this time? Don’t you hate seeing me squander?”
“Am I such a person that doesn’t know how to set her priorities?” Tang Muxin pouted and humphed. “Last time was last time, now is now. The situation is special now, we can’t view problems the same way as we did in the past. Think about it, his evil plot didn’t succeed today, and he also failed to win Sister Nianwei’s heart. If you put yourself in his shoes, what would you think of?”
“If it were me?” Hong Dali slowly said, “I would definitely find out the reason for why I failed. En, this fellow failed, then he will think that it’s because I saw through his plans. But I don’t think he will believe that this is the reason. After all, everyone seems to equate prodigals being the same as fools. But I believe he still suspects me. Therefore, this auction is a chance for him to test my personality and character. Whether I’m a real prodigal, who will squander on impulse or an old demon in disguise.”
Tang Muxin grinned. “Hee hee, if you’re an old demon, doesn’t that make me an old demoness?”
After saying this, her face went red, her finger pressed upon her lips, and she immediately changed the subject. “However, my view on this matter is the same as yours. This time, the best solution is to squander as much as you can. This way, he will lose interest in challenging you. People like him who seeks perfection will not be interested in weak opponents.”
“Is that a personal attack on me?” Hong Dali pouted and said, “You want me to act foolish and weak in front of him?”
“Not just in front of him.” Tang Muxin placed her mouth beside Hong Dali’s ear and softly said, “This also includes those family members of yours. After all, the more you squander and make a show of doing nothing useful, the less they will pay attention to you. You will be much safer then.”
“Fine.” Hong Dali sucked in a deep breath. “Then, this time I shall listen to you—brouhaha! Finally, I can splurge as much as I want. Come, let’s squander to my heart’s content!”
An auction! No matter how much I try to save, I will at least need to spend a few million yuan, isn’t it?
After that, let’s see how big my little stick can become!
...
After sending Tang Muxin home, Hong Dali returned home and slept.
After Hong Dali went back to his room, the driver came to the study room on the first floor and lightly knocked on the door. Very quickly, a deep low voice sounded from inside. “Come in, the door isn’t locked.”
The driver entered the study room and bowed slightly towards Hong Weiguo and his wife. “Greetings, Master, Madam.”
Hong Weiguo was practicing his calligraphy. Without raising his head, he said, “En, it has already been so many years, there is no need to be so polite. You came to see us today, is it regarding Dali? What has happened? Tell me in detail.”
“Yes, Master.” The driver told them the important things that happened today from start to end. Hong Weiguo’s eyes gradually lit-up as he listened. In the end, he slowly nodded and said, “En, not bad. Leave the USB flash drive here, you may go and rest now.”
“OK, goodnight, Master and Madam.”
“Goodnight.”
After the driver left, Hong Weiguo pulled out a cigarette and lit it up. Sucking in a deep breath, he smiled and said, “My wife, looks like our house’s little prodigal has really grown up.”
“You’re right.” Tears of happiness flowed out from Lan Ruoxi’s eyes. She smiled and said, “Eighteen years, this little rascal has always been living his life in a muddleheaded manner in the past. We have also let him have his way. Hearing what Old Wang said today, I just realized that our little prodigal is also a big kid now, hehe. It’s really wonderful how he handled this issue.”
“En, this is really a deep change from him in such a short time.” Hong Weiguo laughed loudly. After a while, he smoked for a bit and suddenly asked, “This kid Liu Mingxin is someone to be reckoned with. He handles things fast and decisively, and he’s also very handsome and very talented. He is somewhat similar to Zhou Yu 1 from The Three Kingdoms. It’s a pity that the business service of our families is overlapping more and more these days. There will be a battle between us one day. This is a matter of sides, such a pity. If he were from another family, I would definitely be willing to groom him.”
“That’s right, one will most likely experience things that don’t go smoothly eight or nine out of ten times in a lifetime.” Lan Ruoxi thought for a while and asked, “My husband, are you planning to repay him the same way he tried to treat our Dali?”
“No.” Hong Weiguo lightly said, “The best solution is to pretend that this matter never happened. I don’t wish to alert them. Once we try to get revenge on him, he will know that Dali has seen through his tricks. One is not afraid of a thief who has already stolen but is afraid of a thief who is planning to steal. If he constantly sets his mind on Dali, that will not be a pleasant thing. Currently, it’s better to send a few more people to protect Dali secretly, and let this little prodigal continue living his carefree and happy life. That is what we should do.”
Speaking of this, Hong Weiguo instead gave a cold smile. “Of course, I will use my own name to find a chance to find trouble for him. If not, it’s not my style just to let him off so easily. Also, that Liu Mingcheng, I also have to remind him to control himself and not find trouble to our Dali.”
“This is more like my husband’s character, hehe.” Lan Ruoxi stood up and walked up to Hong Weiguo, held his arm, laughed and said, “Come, let us not bother with this for now. Let us see what our house’s little prodigal made of this Unexpectedly, Dali Creates Miracles! .”
“Of course, I have wanted to see what it’s like for ages, haha.”
One minute later.
Hong Weiguo and Lan Ruoxi laughed their hearts out when they just heard the prologue. Lan Ruoxi laughed until she couldn’t catch her breath. She smilingly scolded, “This little rascal, he’s really messing around. He even created this Prodigal Alliance, at the back the Tang Enterprise was directly labeled as the medicine couldn’t stop. Haha, it must have been really hard for him to come up with this.”
“That’s right.” Hong Weiguo hugged Lan Ruoxi’s shoulder, laughed and said, “This little rascal, you don’t say, this micro movie really is quite interesting. This is already so hilarious even when the actual film hasn’t been completed. When it’s officially released, it will definitely be famous and sought after!”
