As he watched Tang Qing wolf down the steamed dumplings, one after another, Tang Kai couldn’t help but beam with delight. In his opinion, a child who could eat heartily was a blessing. Especially at Tang Qing’s age, a boy with a good appetite was a good thing.
Yet, this was only reserved for his own kin. After all, he was a well-known Chinese tycoon in Bangkok, his tastes and demands for quality had naturally been elevated. If any other talented young man were to eat like this in front of him, he would undoubtedly deem the manners vulgar, uncultured, and impolite. Even if his own daughter displayed sloppy eating manners, he would be sure to reprimand her. However, when it came to Tang Qing, his own nephew, he couldn’t find anything to fault, seeing as Tang Qing was the only male heir of their generation in the Tang family.
"Tangtang, slow down, don’t choke. These dumplings are still hot." Tang Kai said with a laugh.
Tang Qing swallowed a dumpling, then nudged the plate of dumplings towards Tang Kai, saying, "It’s okay. I’m used to it. By the way, Uncle, you should eat too. You hardly touched your food." He typically devoured the steamed dumplings he bought every morning in huge mouthfuls, relishing the taste.
"Chuckling, Uncle Tang Kai responded, "You eat, I’m not very hungry. I was influenced by your sister and others. They always eat slowly, plus my lack of exercise means I can’t eat much."
"Yeah, uncle, you must eat well. The dumpling filling in this place is good, and the meat is very fresh." Tang Qing said with a laugh.
In the past, he had heard rumors of certain notorious dumpling shop owners who grinded spoiled meat and mixed them together, then masked the rotten smell with strong seasonings. The young Tang Qing had experienced this himself at a dumpling shop on the way to school. Just one bite, and the astoundingly sensitive taste buds had him spitting out the dumpling, angrily discarding it at the storefront’s entrance before leaving.
It wasn’t that he didn’t respect sanitation workers, but he was trying to make a point to those queuing for dumplings. Back then, he was in a rush to school and didn’t have time to argue with the shop owner for a refund. So he used his actions to show the queuing customers the truth. The wise would understand. As for those who didn’t, he could do nothing about it. After all, Chinese people are quite fond of their food. Many people know how unclean hot pot can be, but they still go to eat it. There was no reasoning behind it.
After having breakfast with Uncle Tang, they parted ways. Hearing that Tang Qing was going to buy gifts for Qin Shiqi and the others, Tang Kai insisted on giving him ten thousand yuan and said he would supplement the gift later. Seeing that he couldn’t refuse, Tang Qing simply accepted the money. After all, what would it look like to haggle with a billionaire, who was also his uncle, over ten thousand yuan in the street? 𝘯𝘰𝑣𝘱𝑢𝘣.𝑐𝑜𝑚
Tang Kai still has a lot of work to deal with in the next few days. The affairs of the company in Bangkok are not few, especially this month, fortunately due to dealing with Wei Jun’s matter, he had already completed two days worth of work in advance.
Tang Qing could only shake his head sympathetically. Being a hands-off boss was so much better. Apart from signing and paying, everything else was taken care of by staff. As long as they could independently supervise properly, even if the boat had a leak, it wouldn’t sink so quickly; there would be plenty of time to plug the leak.
By the time Tang Qing returned to the hotel, it was nearly seven o’clock. Locking the door behind him, Tang Qing darted into the Command Room. With the system keeping an eye out, he felt at ease and had no need to worry about people knocking on the door.
Command Platform
"Leader," Tang Yi saluted.
"Yes, Tang Yi, I believe you should already know what is going on. Immediately create two plans, one for investigating everything about Lei Peng, the chairman of Pengyun Group in the province - including his company, family, relatives, social relations, and so on. I want character analysis reports of all his direct family members, especially his son, Lei Yang. In any way you can, within five days, you must figure out what Lei Yang’s intentions towards our family are. If we fail to understand in five days, we’ll just have to let them have some accidents. There is no limit to expenditure on this plan," Tang Qing slowly commanded.
Lei Peng was the head of the steel factory, and the man crippled by uncle Kai was his son, Lei Yang. The reason behind investigating Lei Peng’s company was to comprehend the family’s influence and also if they could benefit from this somehow. After all, every action carries a cost, and he had tasted the benefits from dealing with Xiong Zhiyang. For each mission, he wanted someone else to foot the bill. Ugh, he felt he was losing his principles more and more by the day. Wanting to kill someone and then get his hands on their money, this path seems a little odd.
Although five days was a bit tight, he believed the robots would do it since the limiting conditions were quite clear. The task plan must be made based on the feasibility of its completion. Basically, as long as they followed the plan, there was at least an 80 percent certainty of success. The ’accidents’ he mentioned were merely a backup plan just in case.
No sooner had Tang Qing finished speaking, than Tang Yi responded, "Understood, commander. The primary task has been filed, the secondary elimination plan has been filed, serial number 6793, task planning assignment is done and is expected to be finished in around twenty minutes."
Tang Qing was very pleased with their efficiency and nodded, saying:
"Hmm, very good. The second task is to infiltrate the underworld forces in Bangkok. Making as little impact as possible, it could take a month, or up to two. I want our influence there to be strong enough to ensure the safety of my uncle’s assets and life. Remember, the chairman must die. You can add this objective to the plan; there is no cost limit for this."
"Understood, Commander. The main mission is nearly ready, and the subtask of elimination has been established as mission number 6794. The tasks have been dispatched, and I expect the plan to be completed in forty minutes," said Tang Yi.
It was apparent that the same group of people were working on both plans.
"Alright, get to it. Notify me via phone call to inform me what I need to prepare when you’re done and I’ll then grant you exchange authorization", Tang Qing said as he nodded.
’Exchange authorization’ meant that he wouldn’t need to enter the Command Room and could, through the system, grant Tang Yi the authority to exchange for robots and mall equipment directly. Once the monetary limit was set, Tang Yi would then be able to exchange as per the mission’s requirements. Tang Qing found this functionality to be incredibly convenient. After all, it was often that not everything needed to be exchanged at once for a mission. Different stages would require different personnel, equipment and emergency exchanges so having to find him every time to exchange was not just troublesome but could potentially also cause delay.
He wasn’t sure when Dou Jiao would be coming over. If she didn’t show up, he would be able to monitor the plans himself, but if she did, all he could do would be authorizing via phone. Either way, the sooner these two plans could be executed, the better.
After giving instructions, Tang Qing teleported back to his hotel suite, washed up, changed his clothes, and looking at his reflection in the mirror, he felt a surge of vanity.
He really was lonely as snow...
"Knock... knock... knock..."
There was knocking on the suite door.
Without looking, Tang Qing knew that the person outside was Dou Jiao. Everyone has a knocking habit. Some are anxious, some are relaxed, some like to knock three times, others five, with varying intensity. After hearing Dou Jiao knock twice, he could associate the sound with her. The first time he was verifying it was her, the second time was confirming her habit.
Tang Qing opened the door to find Dou Jiao all dressed up, standing outside his room looking gorgeous with her makeup done perfectly. She studied Tang Qing up and down, nodding her head in approval. In her current outfit, she was undoubtedly an irresistible beauty outdoors. Usually, Dou Jiao wore light makeup to work, not even bothering with lipstick, just carrying a lip balm. But today, she had done a full face, adding another five points to her already stunning 85 points.
"Jiaojiao, what brings you here so early today?", Tang Qing greeted with a smile.
The sight of Dou Jiao took him by surprise. Not because she looked beautiful, he’d seen plenty of beauties, but because it was barely half-past seven, and she was already up, all ready and dressed.
"Early? It’s not early at all. The sun is already up. Hurry up, let’s have breakfast and go shopping," Dou Jiao replied, giving him a sideways glance.
Tang Qing was speechless.
So she knew what time the sun rises, what was the rush yesterday? Was it necessary to appear this invigorated for a shopping trip?
