Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal

Panda Novel

“Master,” Ling Xiaoyi speedily did some mental calculations and then smiled and said, “Currently, there’s around 60 million in Young Master’s account. All of it is pocket money that Young Master earned.”

60 million! So much!

Hong Tu and Hong Weiguo were instantly stunned. Mu Yuxi was also shocked. She’d only received 100 million of development funds for being the Rookie King of the family, yet Hong Dali had more than 60 million of pocket money in his account?!

How did this child spend his money? The more he spent, the more he earned!

Hong Weiguo stared with wide eyes. “I remember that I’d transferred 50 million to his account back then in case he needed to use it. Xiaoyi, is that 50 million included in the 60 million that you mentioned?”

“No.” Ling Xiaoyi smiled. “There’s currently still 27 million left from that 50 million. I manage them separately. If we put them together, that would be 87 million yuan and above.”

87 million yuan and above! Three more words had to be added behind this—”of pocket money”!

Hong Weiguo felt that his blood pressure was getting too high. He loosened the buttons on his shirt and asked, “Then, where did this money come from? Quickly tell me. I remember that our Dali hasn’t really started up many things recently, right?”

Hong Tu and Mu Yuxi listened intently, afraid to miss out any details.

“En, let me see.” Ling Xiaoyi took out a small notebook and read out one by one. “En, the total earnings from the online gaming fest is around 6 million. The total earnings from The Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre: Pugilistic World is around 21 million. And then it’s the stone gambling.” Speaking up to this point, Ling Xiaoyi smiled. “Young Master had won quite a number of good jades, and the total selling price of these is around 22 million. This is the total price of the other jades that had been sold after Young Master had taken away the two pieces that were most valuable. The other businesses like Ye Lai Xiang and Hung Lung Hotel have earned quite a lot of money as well. It totals up to more than 60 million.”

“Stone gambling?” Hong Weiguo touched his chin. “I’ve heard about this. I remember that Dali had apparently gotten all of you to give out the stones back then, right? Could it be that you have sold those stones?”

“Yes.” Speaking of this event, Ling Xiaoyi was very proud of herself. “Back then, during the family meeting, Young Master had given up the privileges of the family’s Rookie King of the year because of us. Young Master did not take a single cent from that 100 million. Thus, we wanted to secretly help Young Master to make up for that sum of money. Therefore, every one of us only kept a small portion of those jades, and the money earned from selling the rest of them was all deposited into Young Master’s account using various accounts. Young Master still doesn’t know about this till now.”

As she spoke, Ling Xiaoyi bowed towards Hong Weiguo and Hong Tu. “Master and Old Elder, please don’t tell Young Master about this. Thank you.”

Upon hearing what Ling Xiaoyi said, Hong Weiguo and Hong Tu both took in a breath.

The people around Hong Dali really treated him…

Those were jades worth tens of millions, it was enough for an ordinary person to splurge for life. And they actually returned all this money to him on their own accord. These people really deserved Hong Dali’s kindness towards them. They were indeed outstanding, they all had great moral qualities!

“Hehe, good job, all of you.” Hong Weiguo definitely didn’t have anything to say about his son. “Later, I’ll personally give every one of you red packets of 100,000 yuan. I can’t mistreat you all since you’re so good to Dali. Though 100,000 yuan is inferior to those jades, it’s about the significance of the red packet. It can be counted as my reward to all of you.”

Xiaoyi naturally would not reject the red packet given by Hong Weiguo. She instantly smiled and said, “Then, I’ll thank Master on their behalf.”

Mu Yuxi, upon hearing that, was utterly convinced.

Probably only Hong Dali could train his followers to be so loyal and protective towards him. Had it been herself, she wouldn’t be able to achieve things to that extent.

Perhaps what Old Elder said was right. After she went back, she really had to start writing a diary of squandering—looks like squandering really takes skills, it has to be learned.

After she finished her report, Ling Xiaoyi bowed again. “Master, Old Elder, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go back first. Young Master would probably want to go out and play later, I’ll go and have a look.”

“Go ahead.” Hong Weiguo smiled and nodded. “Remind him to be more careful.”

“I know.”

After Ling Xiaoyi had left the conference room, Hong Weiguo looked towards Hong Tu and asked, “Dad, judging from what I saw, our Dali seems to be rather interested in the entertainment business. What do you think he’ll choose to do later? Develop his film and entertainment business to go head-on against Hollywood?”

“I don’t know, I don’t know at all.” Hong Tu despondently shook his head. “I don’t have any idea about what that child Dali wants to play with. Forget it, you think about it by yourself. I’ll go and sleep for a while. If I continue to hear about his matters, it’ll definitely deduct 10 years from my lifespan. It’s wasting too much of my brain cells…” After he spoke, he turned around and left. Looks like he’d suffered quite a lot…

“Yuxi, what about you? Do you have any ideas?” Hong Weiguo looked at Mu Yuxi. “What do you think Dali will do next?”

“I…” Mu Yuxi thought for a long while, then helplessly said, “I think I’d better learn more from Young Master Dali. In front of him, I feel like an elementary school kid who doesn’t know anything…”

After she’d said that, Mu Yuxi left in embarrassment as well…

“Alright, I’ll leave too…” Hong Weiguo covered his face and left too…

…

Ling Xiaoyi had just exited from the room when she bumped into Mu Zixiao, who had now become extremely popular. Mu Zixiao, who had a red birthmark in the middle of his forehead, anxiously asked Ling Xiaoyi once he saw her, “Where’s Dali? Where is he now? I have something urgent to tell him.” Mu Zixiao’s expression was rather anxious and, coupled with that red birthmark, he looked exactly like Erlang Shen(a Chinese god with an eye in the middle of his forehead)…

“Sir Mu, you’re looking for Young Master? He should be in number one small conference room.” Ling Xiaoyi strangely asked, “What matter is so urgent?”

“I remember that he had previously always gone there, but I’ve been there just now and couldn’t find him. I don’t know where he has gone to.” Mu Zixiao shrugged. “Forget it, since Dali isn’t here, it doesn’t make a difference telling you about it. Quickly follow me, my dad wants to see you.”

“Sir Mu, your father wants to see me?” Ling Xiaoyi was instantly shocked. “What does he want to see me for? Give me some hints about it first?”

It was understandable that Ling Xiaoyi was so shocked. A man coming over and telling a woman “My dad wants to see you,” especially since the two of them knew each other and were in rather good terms with each other, those who didn’t know would definitely think that he was going to bring her to see her future in-laws. Whoever faced this situation would be scared.

However, Mu Zixiao had obviously not given much thought about this aspect. Thus, he pulled Ling Xiaoyi’s hand and ran towards a parlor on the ninth floor. “Hurry up, hurry up. It’s really a big matter this time, definitely a big one!”

Ling Xiaoyi was scared out of her wits. “Sir Mu, wait. That… I’m not mentally prepared for that yet. Isn’t it very appropriate to see uncle so directly?”

“What’s inappropriate.” Mu Zixiao anxiously said, “It’s really a big matter this time, you’ll know when you get there. I can’t say it now, my dad has to say it personally!”

“O… OK…”

Very soon, the two of them reached the parlor. Ling Xiaoyi immediately spotted a middle-aged man sitting in the middle of the room. He was leaning on the sofa and smoking. She hurriedly went over and greeted. “It… It must be Mr. Mu, right? Hello, I’m Ling Xiaoyi.”

That middle-aged man was around 50-years-old. He still maintained a youthful look, especially those sharp eyes within his brows that emitted an aura of a man with ambition. Just sitting there he gave off quite a strong sense of oppression.

Ling Xiaoyi, at the present moment, had only had this kind of feeling from a few people. One of them was Young Master’s father, Hong Weiguo.

Thus, needless to say, the person in front of her was definitely the current head of the Mu Family who was in the same league as Hong Weiguo, Mu Zixiao’s father, Mu Tie.

A powerful person who had control over a huge amount of resources on the internet!

What the Hong Family was most adept at was the internet search engine. The Liu Family’s largest user group, Turkey Software, was literally unmatched.

As for Mu Zixiao’s Mu Family, what they had in control was the online shopping aspect, Jianbao Plaza!

These three families could be said to be on par with each other. One could thus naturally recognize the ability of the Mu Family.

“Xiaoyi, come and take a seat.” Once Mu Tie saw Ling Xiaoyi, his eyes instantly lit up as he smiled and waved his hand, saying, “Young Master Hong Dali’s number one lackey, the most capable Ling Xiaoyi. Hehe, it’s the same to talk to you about it.”

Upon hearing what he said, Ling Xiaoyi had finally realized. Looks like this Mu Tie wanted to discuss a collaboration. She had misunderstood it.

It’s all that Mu Zixiao’s fault for not being clear with his words!

“Mr. Mu, this…” As she cautiously took a seat, Ling Xiaoyi said skeptically, “If it’s a big matter, why don’t I give Young Master a call?”

“Ah, it’s fine, I reckon it’ll be better to talk to you about this matter.” Mu Tie smiled and slowly said, “I’ve come to the capital city this time to discuss a collaboration between our three families—our Mu Family, the Hong Family, and the Liu Family.”

“Ah?!” This time, Ling Xiaoyi was really shocked. “It’s such a big matter, I, I’m afraid I can’t make any decision!”

“Hehe, it’s understandable that you’re afraid. But let me ask you.” Mu Tie smiled and said, “If you call Dali and tell him about me finding him about matters related to a collaboration, what do you think he’ll say?

“This…” Ling Xiaoyi thought for a while. “Young Master would probably say ‘You settle this matter,’ just that.”

Once she said that, Ling Xiaoyi was pleased. She actually had quite an accurate understanding of the Young Master’s temper, and she knew that Young Master Hong Dali didn’t like to handle these complicated and messy matters.

The head of the Mu Family had come personally to discuss matters regarding a collaboration, yet it could be said as complicated and messy matters, probably only Hong Dali could do this.

Nevertheless, now it seemed that it would be better for her to be here instead. Thus, Ling Xiaoyi hurriedly asked, “Mr. Mu, what you’re trying to say is…”

“En, I’m very sincere about collaboration this time.” As he spoke, Mu Tie instructed Mu Zixiao, “Zixiao, go and get a piece of cake. Anyone will do, but it must be round.”

“OK!” Mu Zixiao was normally quite obedient towards his father. Thus, he quickly went out and very soon carried a piece of cake that was about 20 centimeters in diameter. He put it on the table and said, “Dad, I’ve brought the cake. Please taste it.”

“En.” Mu Tie nodded. “Miss Xiaoyi, look, the internet is like this piece of cake. If you were me, what would you choose to do?”
