I painted an aircraft carrier on the courtyard house for Dongda University.

Zhou Weiguo turned his head upon hearing the sound and saw Nannan gracefully descending from the sky like a light butterfly.

Upon closer inspection, it was clear that Nannan had grown quite a bit taller, and her figure had become even more slender.

Nannan's eyes sparkled with excitement as she eagerly ran to Zhou Weiguo, grabbing his hand tightly. Her voice was filled with joy and pride: "Brother! Brother! I've not only grown taller, but I've also become smarter! I'm so clever now! And our house is so much bigger, so many times bigger than before! And what's more, my spatial control is amazing! I can do most things without lifting a finger, just with a thought!"

Zhou Weiguo nodded with a doting smile, his eyes full of satisfaction: "Good, good, good, my little girl is so amazing! By the way, little girl, tell your brother quickly, how's the energy point conversion progress? And how's the personnel production progress?"

Nannan immediately became serious and reported methodically: "As per brother's request, we prioritized processing the gold mine within the space, and now the gold mine is completely processed. 31% of the refined gold has also been processed, successfully converting 53520 energy points. It's estimated that once all the refined gold is processed, the energy points should exceed 10. Currently, the barracks and mines are operating at full capacity, and 1558 clones have been generated. These people all have the appearance of Europeans and Americans, just as you said. And the system brother is very considerate; he generated identities for them all, and they've all been taken away by Sister Shaote now."

"Oh? Which cutie is calling me?" A sweet voice suddenly rang out.

Zhou Weiguo turned around and saw that Shao Te had been standing behind the group at some point.

Her gaze fell on Natasha's slightly protruding belly, a hint of envy flashing across her eyes. Then she looked at Zhou Weiguo, her eyes full of grievance: "Master, have you forgotten about us? We thought you would come to find us after you returned to the mainland from Hong Kong. We've been waiting for so long. Xiao'e and Bai Yuechang are so bored too. Every time they see me, they ask when you're going back to Hong Kong."

Zhou Weiguo sighed helplessly and reassured him, "Alright, I understand. I'll definitely go to Hong Kong whenever I have time. Tell me about the development there!"

Shaote nodded and began his report: "Master, yesterday my people in the Little Life region sent word that because you looted their headquarters, the National Museum, and several other important locations, Little Life companies around the world are frantically searching for the culprit. The United States has dispatched an aircraft carrier fleet to provide emergency support, and even the intelligence system of the United States is operating at full capacity. We've also received news from Bond. Therefore, it's best not to use a large amount of the funds you brought back from there in the short term, or you might run into trouble."

Zhou Weiguo nodded slightly, signaling her to continue.

"Yes, Master. Let me give you a brief overview of our overseas development. In terms of business, Bond is making good progress. He has established the Star Shine Group in Hong Kong under his own name and used his connections to buy three production lines in Europe. The factory in Hong Kong has been completed and is now operational, with stable shipments. Bond suggests that we first rapidly expand the three home appliance production lines you provided to seize the market. Once the funds have flowed back, we can then enter the Hong Kong real estate industry."

Zhou Weiguo pondered for a moment and said, "If you don't have enough funds, use the gold and cash in the space if you can find a safe way to dispose of them; if you feel it's unsafe, don't take the risk. If all else fails, melt down some gold and then find a way to get it out."

Shao continued his report: "Next up is Leng Feng's side. The triad's name was chosen by Leng Feng; it's called Hung Hing. Bai Fanyu didn't want to be the leader, so Leng Feng had to take on the role for the first time. Bai Fanyu got the status of an uncle's elder and also incorporated all his men into Hung Hing. Now Kowloon Walled City is all ours. I also arranged for some of the new people I sent out to help Leng Feng, and I told them to wear masks when they go on missions so as not to reveal their identities. As for Lei Luo, he has already become a detective in Kowloon. At this rate, he should have no problem becoming the chief detective in China in a while. As for my intelligence department, 'God's Eye,' the personnel have been dispersed to major cities in various countries to begin deployment. However, it's been too short. We'll have to take it slowly to get them into important departments."

Zhou Weiguo nodded: "Alright, you can continue as planned. Don't forget about the matter on Holy Egg Island, get it done quickly."

"Okay, don't worry, I'll keep an eye on things. But... um... Master, when are you planning to go to Hong Kong? I want to have a clear answer if they ask." Shao Te pressed.

Zhou Weiguo frowned, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Shaw, you go back to Hong Kong right now. I'll contact you via communicator later about the rest."

After saying that, Zhou Weiguo took Natasha back to the bedroom.

Natasha looked at him curiously, and Zhou Weiguo smiled and reassured her, "It's okay, I have an idea that I want to test."

"System, mark this area."

"Ding-dong, you've been marked."

Zhou Weiguo gently kissed Natasha's forehead: "Alright, you should go to sleep. I'll go try out one of my ideas to see if it works."

Seeing Natasha nod, Zhou Weiguo flashed back into his spatial dimension and then contacted Shaot using the communicator: "Shaot, try pulling me out of this spatial dimension."

"Ah, is it possible to do it this way? Um, let me try, Master."

"Ding-dong, Shaot has requested to relocate his host. Do you wish to grant permission?"

"allow!"

With a "whoosh," Zhou Weiguo appeared in a pure white bedroom. He was overjoyed; it really worked!

Before he could think it through, he heard two excited screams.

Zhou Weiguo turned his head and saw Lou Xiao'e and Bai Yuechang looking at him with surprise and delight, while Shao Te had a half-smile on his face and his hand was already reaching for the buttons on his clothes.

...

The next morning, Zhou Weiguo left a kiss on each of the three women's foreheads, set up a spatial marker, consumed 5 energy points, and returned to his home in Beijing.

The house was empty; Natasha and Tianzao had vanished without a trace.

He walked into the yard and found that the car was gone. Helpless, he took out a motorcycle from his storage space and drove towards the steel rolling mill.

As soon as he stepped out the door, Zhou Weiguo regretted it.

The wind in Beijing was fierce and strong, making it impossible for him to open his eyes. Although he wasn't afraid of the cold, the gale was really annoying, so he had to take out his sunglasses from his spatial storage and put them on.

When Zhou Weiguo arrived at the gate of the steel rolling mill, he was stunned. The gate in front of him was several times more impressive than before. If it weren't for the large characters "Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill" above it, he would have thought he had gone to the wrong place.

"Hey! Old Zhou! You're finally back!" A surprised voice rang out.
