Old Master Hua was so angry that he almost fainted.
“I… I don’t know either!”
“Where are you?”
“Q University!”
Old Master Hua was stunned. ‘Why did that senior go to Q University?’
“He… he came to look for Xintong!” Hua Beiqiang said.
Old master Hua was stunned again.
‘Mu Xintong? *Isn’t she the precious granddaughter of the Mu Family? She’s quite beautiful, and many young people like her. Could it be that… even the senior had taken a fancy to her?’
The more he thought about it, the more likely that was the case!
After all, men liked young and beautiful girls, and the senior was certainly no exception. Besides, that senior looked so young, so he must be attracted to young women.
‘Damn! Why don’t I have such a granddaughter like her?’ He was angry.
“Wait there. I’ll come over right away!” He shouted and then strode out of the room.
Soon, the Hua family was in an uproar.
A convoy of luxury cars drove out of the garage and headed toward Q University.
At that time, Hua Beiqiang walked back and said with a big smile, “Senior, my grandfather will be here soon. Please wait!”
“Why did you call him here?” Tang Hao was helpless.
“To apologize to you!” Hua Beiqiang said.
After waiting for a long time, a motorcade arrived at the entrance of Q University. Soon, more motorcades of supercars appeared. The Hua family, the Hong family, and the Qi family were all there.
“Hey! Ol’ Hong, Ol’ Qi… what are you old bastards doing here?” Old Master Qi yelled when he got out of the car.
“Hahaha! Now your grandson has gone and done it, Ol’ Hua!”
“That’s right! I wonder if he’s too brave or stupid to cross that senior. Careful that you end up like the Liu family!”
Those old people gloated.
Old Master Hua’s face was as red as a pig’s liver. “Damn that brat! I must teach him a good lesson.
“How did you know?” He asked again.
“Hah! Your grandson isn’t the only student in Q University. My grandson is so many times smarter than yours!”
Those people rushed into the campus.
“We’re here, President!”
“President, why didn’t you tell us that you’re in the Capital? We would have entertained you!”
Those people enthusiastically rushed forward and surrounded Tang Hao.
The crowd was shocked once more when they saw that scene. Many of those people were influential figures in the Capital’s business world.
Now, they were surrounding that kid and calling him “President” with incomparable enthusiasm.
They found it hard to believe.
‘President?
‘What could that guy be president of? That’s amazing!’
“You, come here!”
Old Master Hua pointed at his grandson and shouted.
When Hua Beiqiang walked over, Old Master Hua reached out and pulled his ear. “Look at what you’ve done. Why aren’t you apologizing to Senior Tang?”
“I’ve apologized!” Hua Beiqiang said, feeling aggrieved.
“Then apologize again! Why, are you too good for this?”
Hua Beiqiang could only walk to Tang Hao, bow deeply, and apologize solemnly.
“Forget it. It’s nothing!” Tang Hao waved his hand and said.
“Thank you, Senior! You are magnanimous!” Old Master Hua said with a smile.
Soon, even the Mu family came.
The other families were shocked by the Mu family’s appearance. Then, they turned to look at Mu Xintong and Tang Hao with curious expressions.
Even the Mu family members looked at them weirdly.
‘Does Senior Tang want to flirt with Xintong?’
Their emotions were rather complicated.
For the family, it was a good thing. Their status would be elevated if they could be related to the senior.
On the other hand, the senior must be at least a hundred years old!
Mu Xintong was only twenty years old, and the age difference was too great. That was inappropriate!
Of course, the most important thing was Xintong’s opinion.
After that, the people greeted Tang Hao and went toward Mu Xintong.
“Xintong, are you going to… with the senior…”
Mu Xintong frowned and said, “Dad, there’s nothing between us, really… Also, you’ve all misunderstood. He’s not a senior either. He’s the same age as me.”
As soon as she said that, the Mu family members were stunned.
Chapter 747 - A Call From Elder Ma
“Haha!”
When they came to their senses, the Mu family members laughed out loud.
“I’ve never known you to be a joker, Xintong!”
Mu Lianhai laughed, though he was quite suspicious.
His daughter had always been a reserved person. Why was she telling jokes today? It was quite curious.
When the other families heard that, they could not help but laugh too.
‘He’s not a senior, and he’s the same age as her?
‘Does that mean that he’s twenty years old?
‘How could that be possible!
‘A twenty-year-old Perfected Person? That is ridiculous!
‘The senior does indeed look like he’s twenty years old, but his true age must be very old. How could he become a Perfected Person before a hundred?
‘That Mu girl looks intelligent, but why would she be so muddled in this matter? Was she tricked?’
Mu Xintong’s brows furrowed even more tightly.
“What I said is true. It doesn’t matter if you believe it or not!” She said coldly.
Seeing that, the Mu family members began to hesitate.
Xintong did not look like she was lying. Moreover, Xintong was in the Agency, which meant that she knew more about the senior than they did.
However, that was too hard to believe!
If Senior Tang were actually a twenty-year-old Perfected Person, he was a monster! They were not in ancient times anymore. How did he do it?
They were quite shaken by the fact, and they could not accept it.
After hesitating for a long time, Old Master Mu walked over and carefully asked, “Senior, may I ask your age?”
The other elders laughed.
“Don’t tell me that you believe it, Ol’ Mu? You’ve gotten senile!”
Tang Hao coughed lightly and said somewhat embarrassedly, “I happen to be twenty years old this year!”
“Haha! Did you hear that, Ol’ Mu? Senior Tang said that he’s twen…” Old Master Hua burst out laughing reflexively. He was stunned when his brain caught up to his mouth.
In the next moment, his eyes widened, revealing an incredulous expression.
He turned his head and glared at Tang Hao until his eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets.
The other people also had the same expression. They suddenly became so quiet it was almost terrifying.
“Senior… what… did… you… just… say?” Old Master Hua said in a trembling voice.
“I’m twenty years old! Don’t doubt it. You heard it correctly!” Tang Hao said.
Old Master Hua’s body trembled as if he had been struck by lightning.
After standing there for a long time, his body swayed, and he almost fell down. His face changed several colors, and he was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood.
‘F*ck! He’s really twenty years old!
‘Is he even human?’
Looking at him, then looking at himself, he felt that he had nothing left to live for.
The other elders also had dispirited expressions on their faces. That was such a huge blow to their confidence!
The middle-aged people and even the youths were completely stunned on the spot. When they regained their senses, many of them had tears in their eyes.
‘F*ck! How could there be such a monster? Is there any point in living?’
After a while, they became excited.
If the president was a Perfected Person at twenty years old, what would he become at forty or sixty? That made him someone worth sucking up to!
They had to gain his favor as much as they could!
They looked at Tang Hao with sparkling eyes.
“Haha! I knew it. When I first saw you, President, I knew you weren’t an ordinary person. You have a unique temperament. Indeed, you’re as amazing as I expected!”
“President, you’re really a genius! My admiration for you is endless.”
They surrounded Tang Hao and began to flatter him.
The Mu family members were also very enthusiastic.
“My daughter! Don’t squander this chance!” Mu Lianhai walked to Mu Xintong’s side and said softly.
“Father! There’s really nothing between us!” Mu Xintong said.
“Really?”
“Of course! He has a girlfriend!”
Mu Lianhai was immediately disappointed.
“What a pity! You should’ve worked harder, my daughter!”
When Mu Xintong heard that, she almost rolled her eyes.
When the people from other families pricked up their ears and heard that, they were all delighted.
They were unwilling to see the Mu family get closer to the president. If the president married that girl, the Mu family would be able to lord over them.
“Look, President, it’s almost lunchtime. Let’s have lunch together!”
“Yes, yes, yes! Let’s eat!”
The people shouted.
Tang Hao had no choice but to follow them to lunch. There were nearly a hundred people from the five families, and it was a very lively scene.
After lunch, Mu Xintong drove him to the airport.
On the way, the two did not say much.
“This is my number. You can call me the next time you want to visit me.”
When the car stopped at the entrance to the airport terminal, she handed him a piece of paper.
“Oh!” Tang Hao responded.
Just as he was about to get out of the car, he seemed to remember something and handed her a small bag.
“This is for you!”
“What is it?” She furrowed her brows.
“It’s a present. I need to give you a present if I’m here to visit you!”
She was surprised, though she looked at Tang Hao and took the bag. As soon as she opened it, her beautiful eyes suddenly lit up and sparkled.
There were a lot of jade talismans and alchemical pills in the bag.
“These pills are…”
“To increase your cultivation,” Tang Hao said.
She was stunned and was about to hand it back. “This is too expensive!”
“It’s fine! I have a lot of them!” Tang Hao said.
“Really?” She was a little hesitant.
“Of course!”
“Then… I’ll take them. Thank you!” She clutched the bag, and her eyes shone.
‘What a money-grubber!’ Tang Hao laughed in his heart.
She was usually as cold as ice, but when she saw something valuable like jade talismans, her eyes would light up.
“I’ll be leaving then!”
Tang Hao got out of the car, waved at her, and walked into the terminal.
In the car, Mu Xintong looked at his receding figure in a daze.
Suddenly, she frowned slightly, feeling disappointed.
After staring blankly for a long time, she started the car and left.
It was almost two o’clock in the morning when he arrived at Westridge.
As usual, Qin Xiangyi was waiting for him in the living room. When she heard the sound of the door opening, she lifted her head groggily.
“You’re back, Lil Tang!”
She reached out, hugged him, buried her face in his chest, and rubbed against him lazily.
“Let’s go to sleep!”
Tang Hao hugged her tightly and said softly.
“I don’t wanna!” She opened her eyes and said coyly.
“What should we do then?”
“Silly! I can’t sleep if you don’t feed me!” She whispered into Tang Hao’s ear and giggled.
Tang Hao could not help but laugh. He picked her up and walked into the bedroom.
After a night of intimacy and a few hours of sleep, the two of them got up from bed.
After sending her to her factory, Tang Hao went to his own office. He received a phone call at about ten o’clock. It was from Elder Ma, whom he had not seen for a long time.
Tang Hao was surprised, but he answered the call anyway.
“Long time no see, Elder Ma!” He said with a smile.
Chapter 748 - A Brick
“Boss Tang!” Elder Ma called out on the other end of the call.
“You don’t have to be so polite. Oh, right, can I help you with anything?” Tang Hao said.
“I know that you’re a collector of curiosities. I just happened to bump into something strange, so I wanted to show it to you,” Elder Ma said.
Tang Hao was interested. “Oh? What is it, and why is it strange?”
“Don’t laugh when I tell you.”
“I won’t!” Tang Hao said.
“That thing… is a brick, and it’s made of metal. It’s quite heavy and incredibly hard. We’ve tried every drill on it, but we can’t even leave a scratch.
“What’s even stranger, the thing is found in a tomb from the Warring States period. Isn’t that curious?”
Elder Ma said.
“A Warring States tomb?” Tang Hao was surprised.
How would the people in the Warring States period have such amazing metallurgical technology? That was indeed curious.
“Are you sure that it’s from a Warring States tomb?”
“Of course. I’m good friends with the seller, and he wouldn’t lie to me. He’s very sure that it’s from a Warring States tomb. Other than that, he also found a lot of things! However, the brick is the strangest of all,” Elder Ma said confidently.
After a pause, he continued, “That person isn’t from our town. He’s from the north. He came to visit yesterday and brought all the things here. Are you interested in coming over to take a look?”
“Sure! I’ll come over right away!” Tang Hao instantly agreed.
He had to see such a curious thing for himself.
Antique Street was not far away, and he reached there in about ten minutes.
As soon as he entered the store, he saw Elder Ma and a skinny middle-aged man.
That man sized up Tang Hao and frowned, “Ol’ Ma, is that the big boss you were talking about?”
“That’s right! Besides, he’s especially interested in those sorts of things,” Elder Ma said with a smile.
“How should I address you?”
“My surname is Tang!”
“Mr. Tang!” The man walked up and cupped his fists at Tang Hao.
Tang Hao returned the greeting and said, “Where’s the thing?”
“Please come in!”
The man turned his body to the side and gestured at them to step into a room.
When Tang Hao entered the room, he saw a brick placed on a table. It had the dimensions of any ordinary brick.
The brick was completely black, and there seemed to be nothing remarkable about it.
When he touched it, there was nothing special about it.
However, he could sense a faint fluctuation of qi inside. It was not very strong, but it was enough to prove that that thing was not ordinary.
He was not sure whether it was an Artifact because it might just be a piece of material.
“Mr. Tang, that thing is really tough. Even diamond drills can’t put a dent in it, and it’s from the Warring States period. It’s a rare treasure that transcends the era! It’ll be an invaluable item for your collection,” the person said.
&nbs
p; Tang Hao carefully inspected it and pondered for a moment, then said, “Name a price!”
The person said, “You’re Ol’ Ma’s friend so I won’t fleece you. Ten million yuan, and that treasure is yours.”
“OK! Ten million it is!” Tang Hao agreed immediately.
After receiving the item, he thanked Elder Ma and returned to his office.
Tang Hao studied the brick for a while.
He felt that it was like an Artifact, but he could not find any talismanic carvings on it. Moreover, he could not recognize what metal it was.
“This is really curious!”
Tang Hao frowned. He thought that the item was even stranger than the mirror.
“Forget it. We’ll figure it out eventually!”
Tang Hao did not lack Artifacts now. He was not in a hurry to figure it out.
In the afternoon, he received a call from Ma Fangfang and rushed to the fish farm.
Two and a half months had passed, and a new batch of Fantasy Fish had matured. Each fish weighed five to six pounds, and there were about thirty thousand of them in total.
Tang Hao surveyed a few ponds and was quite satisfied. He said, “We can sell these now. Prepare another auction! Don’t let the customers wait too long!”
The response to the previous batch of Fantasy Fish was extremely enthusiastic. In the past few months, there had been an endless stream of people from in and out of the country asking for the second batch of fish.
Most of the foreign buyers were the super-rich people who had participated in the auction last time.
Five-colored Fantasy Fish was very rare, so three-colored Fantasy Fish had become the trend.
No banquet would be complete with a few Fantasy Fish.
Ma Fangfang nodded and said, “How shall we split the thirty thousand fish this time?”
“We’ll still offer five thousand for auction. Another five thousand will be for the domestic market, and twenty thousand will be for Magical Kitchen,” Tang Hao answered after thinking for a while.
“Oh!” Ma Fangfang said.
She glanced at Tang Hao and said, “Come to my office! I have something to ask you!”
“Your office here?”
“Yes!”
Ma Fangfang pointed to the five-story building on the side. “When I’m busy, I work here. I’ll only return to the headquarters when I’m free.”
