Only the mysterious man and the Bureau Chief knew that Hong Dali could miraculously increase the performance of mechanical items.

Till now, the military only knew that Hong Dali had his own laboratory. They and the rest of the world all thought that the garments were created from his laboratory. But in reality…

“Not only this, there’s another problem that needed to be taken care of now.” The mysterious man rubbed his temples. “The military keeps thinking about recruiting the five main members of the Flying Bull basketball team into the army. It’s very hard to explain how their physique is so good. I have been suppressing this matter, too.”

“This little rascal.” The Bureau Chief was really dispirited this time. “We did indeed obtain quite a lot of good things, but we also seemed to get the trouble that comes with it. Sigh, speaking of which, why are the old guys from the military so troublesome? If we could tell them, wouldn’t we have already told them?”

“Everything comes at a cost.” The mysterious man sighed and said, “The military’s request is in fact very reasonable. The first day of November is National Day. The 150th year military parade will be starting soon, so they naturally wish to have some powerful weapons to exhibit to the world. Although we are in an era of peace now, the importance of the military’s power needn’t be explained. Therefore, although they are very troublesome, we can’t blame them for this.”

The Heavenly State was built on the first day of November 1864. It would be exactly 150 years on the first day of November 2014. There would definitely be a military parade. In the current times, the military parade was the most useful event for exhibiting the military’s strength. Therefore, it was normal for the generals from the military to be anxious about the matter of the Mechanical Holy Garments.

Therefore, although the mysterious man was troubled by it, he didn’t blame them.

“But the problem now is with Hong Dali. I’m still expecting him to continue squandering to come up with more good things.” The mysterious man depressingly said, “Previously, because of the luck detector device, we have some understanding of his luck now. This fellow is indeed worthy of us supporting and protecting him. Now that the military wants his Mechanical Holy Garments, once we really ask him for them, even if he doesn’t say it, he will definitely not feel happy about it. We don’t know what the consequences will be, so we definitely can’t do something like killing the chicken to take the eggs.”

“You’re right.” The Bureau Chief didn’t have any solutions as well. “Simply put, both side’s standpoint has no problem, therefore we are the ones with the problem now. There really isn’t any solution to this matter.”

“It’s really difficult.” The mysterious man thought for a while. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he asked, “Oh right, how is it with the aircraft carriers?”

“Aircraft carriers?” The Bureau Chief thought for a while and said, “They’re already here. We’re currently checking them to see if there are any problems. Merika sold them so straightforwardly this time, I feel that there is something strange about it. Therefore, I asked the engineers to check through them thoroughly to ensure there isn’t any problem with them.”

“Your meaning is that Merika might be planning something? About Hong Dali?” The mysterious man touched his chin, thought for a while, nodded, and said, “The possibility exists.”

“Currently, this is just a guess.” The Bureau Chief frowned and said, “But these two aircraft carriers are just shells, I can’t guess how they could tamper with them. I have already seen them, they are indeed just shells. The entire aircraft carriers are only barely driveable. Other than that, not even a feather could be found on them.”

An aircraft carrier was a strategic-level weapon, after all. Since Merika dared to sell it, they naturally wouldn’t leave anything useful to Heavenly State on it.

“It’s best that there’s nothing on them.” The mysterious man smiled and said, “It’s safer this way. Yup, help me take a look. I can take out some time these two days. I plan to invite Hong Dali for a meal. Yup, we shall eat at the National… Forget it, just casually find a normal restaurant in the city. It will be too formal going to a ballroom.” He originally intended to go to the National ballroom, but such a solemn place wasn’t very suitable for someone of Hong Dali’s carefree character…

“Ok, let me take a look.” The Bureau Chief took out a small notebook from his pocket. This was the mysterious man’s schedule. The mysterious man’s secretary specially prepared it for the Bureau Chief.

The Bureau Chief and the mysterious man had tens of years of friendship and had been calling the mysterious man Boss for tens of years, too. Although their relationship was of superior and subordinate, they were more like brothers. Therefore, the Bureau Chief would have a copy of the mysterious man’s schedule. This was requested by the mysterious man himself.

“Tomorrow afternoon you will be meeting the President of Russiae. The next day you need to go to the drought area to check on the disaster’s situation. The day after that you will be meeting Jaban State’s secretary of the cabinet.” The Bureau Chief looked on down the list. “By that time, that little rascal Hong Dali would probably be setting sail…”

“This little rascal.” The mysterious man laughed loudly and said, “I still have to see whether he is free when I want to invite him for a meal with me. He’s really something.” He carefully thought for a while and said, “Yup, seeing the President of Russiae is to discuss energy, aviation, aerospace, investments, and other large projects. This can’t be pushed. Checking on the disaster’s situation and visiting the people, this can’t be pushed as well. But as for meeting Jaban State’s secretary of the cabinet… The leader of this country changes frequently, ask him to wait a while longer and just say that I am not free and have something very important to attend to. I will see him when I am free.”

“Shall I set the date two days from now? I will go and tell Hong Dali personally.” The Bureau Chief raised his eyebrows.

Looks like Hong Dali’s worth now has really risen. Yup, I reckon some more time later he will enjoy the same level of treatment as a prime minister, hehe.

“OK, that’s all for now. Oh right, be low-profile, do it secretly. I don’t want the whole world to know about it.”

…

Chenhui Building, ninth floor, Caiwei Entertainment.

Hong Dali listlessly laid on Li Nianwei’s lap, his eyes so hot that he could barely open them. “This stupid weather is so hot, how are we supposed to live in it. 36 degrees! That’s 36 degrees! Even turning on the air-conditioner is also hot! I hate summer, hate summer!”

Speaking of this weather, beautiful ladies all wore miniskirts and exposed their legs, but Hong Dali was so hot that he didn’t have the mood to admire them. If not, other things aside, just Li Nianwei’s summer clothing would end up on the entertainment magazines headlines if it was caught on a reporter’s camera…

“Dali, you really don’t have a good vision!” At the side, Tang Muxin who wore a T-shirt and miniskirt grinned and said, “Sister Nianwei is dressed so beautifully today, aren’t you in the least bit tempted?”

“I’m so hot…” Hong Dali depressingly said. “I sweat even when I’m lying down. I’m so dispirited now, where would I have the mood to admire this…” Saying so, Hong Dali flipped sides and even stretched his hand to touch Li Nianwei’s thigh. “Yup, but Sister Nianwei’s skin is really smooth…”

This action of his caused Li Nianwei’s face to blush and she chided. “Young Master, don’t move!”

“I want to go out to sea, I want to play!” Hong Dali loudly said, “Why isn’t the aircraft carriers here yet! How many days is it already!”

As he shouted, before he finished, the Bureau Chief’s voice sounded from the entrance. “Little rascal, why are you shouting? The aircraft carriers are already here. We’re inspecting them now, they will be handed over to you very shortly.”

“Uncle Chief is here?” Hong Dali immediately sat up. “Oh my, I know that something good will happen when Uncle Chief is here, hahaha! Then, Uncle Chief, when can I set out to sea? It’s already been so many days, I have waited until my neck has grown long!”

“It’s not like we can transport such a big fellow here by air.” The Bureau Chief found a chair, sat down, and snappily said, “It has to sail here all the way from Merika, going through several levels of checks. It couldn’t come fast even if it wanted to. Also, it’s an aircraft carrier, after all. No one wants something to happen with it, so naturally, the inspection duration is a bit long.”

“Oh… Alright, then.” Hong Dali asked, “Then, Bureau Chief, what are you here for today?”

“I’m naturally here to see you for something good.” The Bureau Chief smiled and said, “Are you free in the afternoon two days later? Go out and have a meal with me.”

“Huh?” Hong Dali’s eyes widened. “Uncle Chief, you are inviting me for a meal? Oh my, how can I trouble you to do that…” Although he said this, his words didn’t carry any sense of rejection. He loudly shouted, “Lackeys, two days later don’t eat anything for breakfast, we shall go eat off from the wealthy! Order whatever you like, the Bureau Chief is treating. There’s no need to be polite with me!”

Rubbish, why should we be polite with you when it’s the Bureau Chief who’s treating!

“OK!” Everyone cheered in unison.

“Little rascal!” The Bureau Chief angrily slapped him on the head. “I’m not the one who’s treating, it’s my Boss! Arrange your schedule. The rest can come too if they want, but they must only focus on eating their food and are not allowed to hear or speak anything.”

The Bureau Chief’s Boss wants to treat! Upon hearing these words, everyone was astonished.

The Bureau Chief was already the leader of the National Security Bureau, wouldn’t his boss be…

Instantly, everyone got a bit nervous. The scene for this meal seemed to be quite big, would they be able to stand it?

But obviously, regardless if others could stand it or not, prodigal Hong was still prodigal Hong, he was different from the rest.

“Oh my, is that so? That scene will definitely be quite interesting. Yup, let me see, two days from now, I will be sleeping in the morning, doing research at 10 AM, walking the dogs at 12 AM, afternoon nap at 2 PM…” Hong Dali beamed with delight and said, “OK, I shall not walk the dogs then, haha! I shall eat to my heart’s content that day. This type of chance doesn’t come every day!”

Bureau Chief: “Do you believe that I am going to shoot you to death!”

“Dali.” Tang Muxin secretly pulled his arm. “Do you actually know who is inviting you? I feel that it’s better for you to go alone, we shouldn’t go with you…”

“You guys are not going? How can that do?” Hong Dali felt strange and asked, “Being a superprodigal, I will be embarrassed if there’s no one following me when I am outside. We shall all go together, what’s there to fear. Look at how amiable Uncle Chief is, his Boss will definitely be too!”

The Bureau Chief touched his chin.

Am I very amiable? Then why is it that this little rascal is the only one who isn’t afraid of me in the entire Heavenly State?

Of course, since this fellow had already said it this way…

“Then, alright.” Tang Muxin softly said, “At that time, Dali, just eat, don’t drink alcohol, talk less, do you hear me? Don’t just spout whatever nonsense you usually speak. That’s Uncle Chief’s Boss, he’s very powerful!”

“Relax, don’t worry.” Hong Dali nodded and very cheekily asked, “Uncle Chief, will there be something like the Manchu Han Imperial Feast? Meaning, will there be 100 plus dishes laid out on several big tables and two-meter long chopsticks needed to be used to take the food. That’s what I call impressive and majestic!”
