Once the woman found out the person standing in front of her was Li Nianwei, she was stunned. “You are... Miss Nianwei?! It’s really Miss Nianwei!” This woman was very quick on her feet. She quickly closed the main doors since the shop was empty. “The two of you dared to come out like that? Hurry, come further back into the shop, don’t let anyone see you!”

Uh... We are not thieves, and this is not a clandestine meeting?

It was just a passing thought. Hong Dali understood the reason behind Wang Mo’s mother’s actions. She was afraid that they would draw unwanted attention from passersby. Once people realized that he was here with Li Nianwei, the house would be swamped.

In just that instant, Hong Dali felt his liking for the woman growing. She had given up a good chance to advertise her shop for the sake of his and Sister Nianwei’s safety. Once the crowd gathered, it would be impossible for this shop’s popularity not to shoot sky high. However, she had given up such a great chance. This was admirable.

When Hong Dali and Li Nianwei were safely at the rear of the shop, away from prying eyes, the woman said, embarrassed, “Oh dear, I don’t even have any refreshments or fruits to offer you. I hope both of you will not take it to heart.”

Hong Dali chuckled. “Hehe, no problem, no problem. We should be thankful to you. It would have been troublesome if we were spotted by others.”

“That will not be necessary.” The woman gazed at Li Nianwei starry-eyed. “Miss Nianwei is really pretty, much prettier than on television. I never expected to be able to meet you. Can... Can I get an autograph? Our Wang Mo really likes you...”

Li Nianwei nodded, took out a marker from the bag she always carried and asked, “Where do I sign?”

Hong Dali looked around the house. He quickly settled on one of the more popular costumes from Draconic Continent. He removed it from its display rack and smiled. “How about you autograph this? Mo Mo can bring it home and hang it on his wall!”

Wang Mo stood aside looking at them, eyes as wide as saucers. “Thank you, Brother Dali!”

Soon, Li Nianwei finished autographing the costume. She wrote a single line: “To Mo Mo, from Nianwei. Wishing Mo Mo all the best for his studies.” Little Mo Mo was so excited he took the costume and kissed it repeatedly. As he kissed the costume, he said, “Sister Nianwei is the best! I’m going to make this my family heirloom!”

The little brat!

Hong Dali laughed out loud. “The little brat is quite good at flattering people.” The three of them laughed for a while before Hong Dali said, “I want to go buy some models to play with. Mo Mo would really like to go too. I wonder if big sister...”

“Since Young Master Dali says so, I have nothing to disagree with.” The woman was previously afraid that Wang Mo might have met some bad people. Now, she was naturally no longer afraid. It was known that Hong Dali would save even a handicapped kitten. He would not have any bad thoughts towards people. She smiled and said, “If people notice you when you step out of this shop and draw a crowd, that would be terrible.”

“Yes, that’s true.” Truth be said, Hong Dali was rather fearful of being surrounded by a crowd. It made him feel like he was a monkey in the zoo. Up till now, the two of them had managed to shop unnoticed so things were peaceful. However, once they were recognized by anyone... He would have no choice but to go closer when he was buying the model. What if he were recognized? If he were recognized and they shouted out loud enough to attract attention...

The woman stepped out bravely. “What about this? Let me accompany Young Master Dali. The two of you decide what you want to buy and inform me. Yes, right. Miss Nianwei should wear a hat. In that way, you will not be so easily recognizable.”

This was a good idea!

Soon, they got everything settled and the four of them made their way out. When they arrived at the model shop, the shop owner asked, “Welcome. What would you like to get? We have high, mid, and low-level toys here. The prices are reasonable and the service scrupulous.”

“Which is the most expensive remote-controlled model you have here?” Wang Mo’s mother looked at the row of remote-controlled models displayed. She was not sure what to buy—after all, she was not familiar with them.

“Models? There are many types. The most expensive is that remote-controlled helicopter. They cost 1,500 yuan each.” These people asked for the most expensive items upon entering the store. They must be big spenders, so he must provide them with excellent service.

“Is there nothing more expensive?” Wang Mo’s mother asked again after glancing at Hong Dali.

“1,500 is still cheap?” The shop owner was taken aback. “Any more expensive and you’ll need to order it custom made directly from the factory. We don’t have anything else here.”

“Oh,” Hong Dali pretended to browse the toys in the shop and avoided looking at the shop owner directly. “In that case, Boss, do you have the contact number of the factory? I would like to order something a little more high-end as a gift for my friend’s child.”

“Yes! All our items are direct from the factory. Hold on a while while I look for the contact number for you.” As he looked, he said, “Remember to tell them... yes, tell them you were recommended by Toy Space. They will give you a better price.”

“Haha, ok!” It was more likely that the shop owner was getting a commission rather than them giving him a better price. This was, however, an insignificant matter and Hong Dali naturally would not trouble himself over it, so he agreed immediately.

Soon, Hong Dali got the phone number and the four of them left the shop. Hong Dali patted Wang Mo’s head and said, “Mo Mo, when Brother Dali gets the model, I will look for you. Then, we will go play together in front of Chenhui Building, okay?”

Wang Mo nodded. “Ok!”

His mother smiled. “Young Master Dali, sorry to trouble you. Our Mo Mo is very interested in model toys.”

“I”m the same, I like to play too. That’s it then, we will make a move first. See you.”

“See you.”

When they arrived back at Chenhui Building, Li Nianwei asked, “Young Master, you are planning to play with models? They seem like quite simple toys...”

Hong Dali said matter-of-factly, “Regular models are boring, are they not? If we were to play, it must be something more gratifying! Play with those that have been modified!” Just then, one of his lackeys came over. Hong Dali commanded, “Come, contact this factory for me. Ask them which is the best model they have. Oh right, remember to mention that you were recommended by Toy Space, the one located at Tianjing’s West Fourth Loop.”

The male lackey made the call immediately. “Okay!””Hello, is this Dawn Toy Factory? Ah, yes, yes. We were recommended by Toy Space. We would like to buy some model toys from you! We want the best you have... what?! 1:1 scale model car?! So powerful? This is good. How much each? 8,000 yuan for it to be specially produced?”

He covered the mouthpiece with his hand and said, “Young Master, it’s specially produced. 8,000 yuan a piece, 1:1 ratio. How many do you want to buy?”

Damn! That cool?! Hong Dali immediately made his decision. “Buy a hundred pieces first. Oh, right, ask him if he has any 1:1 scale model planes. If he has those, I will buy a hundred too!”

Male lackey: “...”

Young Master is going against the heavens!

He spoke decisively into the phone, “Hello, we want one hundred pieces. My boss also said, if you have 1:1 scale model planes, he wants a hundred of those as well... What? Plane models do not come in such big sizes?”

Covering the mouthpiece again, the male lackey asked, “Young Master, there aren’t any that big.”

Hong Dali said, “Ask him what size he has them in!”

“My boss asks you what size you have them in.” The male lackey covered the mouthpiece again. “Young Master, he asked you what size you are thinking of? He said the largest will be on a 2:1 scale, about half the original size.” The male lackey added fiercely, “Guaranteed to fly!”

“Five hundred.” Hong Dali couldn’t even be bothered to ask about the price. He would buy five hundred first and dismantle them for fun.

Young Master was really going against the heavens. Five hundred. If they were all to take off at the same time, was Young Master planning to enjoy the process of crashing the planes?

The male lackey was sweating. “My boss says he wants five hundred... Hello, hello, damn it. He hung up!”

How could he not hang up? They were ordering five hundred 2:1 scale model planes in one breath. Anyone would think they were getting played for a fool.

Hong Dali was furious. “Damn. How dare he think I am joking...” He snatched the phone over and said, “Are you selling your toy factory? I’ll buy it if it’s for sale.”

“Are you joking?!” The voice on the other end of the line said rudely. “I can sell. The factory together with all the workers for eight million yuan. If you dare to buy, I dare to sell!”

Hong Dali was hopping mad. “You said so!”

“Right, I said so!” The voice of the other end was not giving in.

“What the heck.” Slamming the phone, Hong Dali waved his hand. “Let’s go buy the toy factory!”

As the saying goes, in the past there were people who won wars for the sake of a woman. Now, anger Hong Dali and he will buy a factory—Anyone who did not believe how generous Hong Dali could be would be digging! His! Own! Grave!

It’s just a toy factory, I’ll just buy it and make my own toys! I’ll be able to do whatever I want! 2:1 scale model airplane? How low-end. If I wanted something that flies in the air I would make flying saucers. If I wanted something that runs on the ground I could make a hundred Prayer Angels and dismantle them for fun! As for something that swims, I could make 1:1 scale models of aircraft carriers made of pure steel! You had better not touch anything. If you spoil anything you will not be able to afford the compensation!

At this point of time, Ling Xiaoyi joined the group. Everyone was here and they went downstairs and got into the cars. They made the journey as fast as lightning and soon arrived at Dawn Toy Factory which was located in one of the suburbs of Tianjing City South Side. The security guard at the door knew Hong Dali was not to be trifled with upon seeing his car and let them in without any questions.

When they got inside the factory, Hong Dali asked Ling Xiaoyi, “How is this factory?”

Ling Xiaoyi nodded. “Based on my valuation, eight million is reasonable. It’s worth about that much.”

“Deal!” Rushing straight towards the General Manager’s office, Hong Dali kicked open the door. “Eight million, here I come!”

The Manager was almost scared to death by Hong Dali.

When he heard that the other party wanted to order one hundred 1:1 scale model toys, he thought it was a big order. When he heard that the other party wanted five hundred airplanes, he did not dare to take it seriously. After he hung up, he figured that the person was just bored and pranking him. He did not expect that the other party would be at his door in less than twenty minutes...

“That... that...” The general manager broke out in a cold sweat. “You... you are...”

“Eight million. If I dare to buy, you dare to sell. That’s what you said, isn’t it?” Hong Dali snickered as he looked at the General Manager in the eyes. “I brought the money. I can transfer it to you anytime. Do you mean what you say?”

The General Manager finally realized that it was Tianjing’s infamous super prodigal Hong Dali who had called him...

Great, what had he to say after meeting this God of Fortune?

The General Manager of Dawn Toy Factory gave in immediately. “Young Master, please forgive me. I really had no idea that it was you! If you are interested in my rundown factory, please take it. I will let you have it at cost. Seven million and two hundred thousand. No markups!”

“At least you have some self-awareness. Xiaoyi, ten million, no need for any change.” Hong Dali plonked himself down on the General Manager’s chair. “Wahahaha, in future, I, too, am a General Manager!”
