……

After Dong Tianbao escorted Liang Kun and the others downstairs and returned to his office, his mobile phone rang urgently again.

"Hello!"

"Sigh, I'm getting old, look at my memory."

On the other end of the phone, Old Li's voice was both amiable and solemn. "Among the things I sent you, there is a box specifically for you to pass on, and a small box is for you. There are some things that are inconvenient to say or deliver here. You'll understand once you see them."

After finishing his sentence, Mr. Li hung up the phone, giving Dong Tianbao no chance to reply.

Dong Tianbao quickly put down the phone and ran to the nearby lounge.

Despite being called a lounge, it is fully equipped with all kinds of facilities, including food, drinks and entertainment, making it a veritable "education export base".

At this moment, several women were chatting and laughing in the lounge.

"Ah Ling, did Old Li send a box of special things as well?" Dong Tianbao asked.

Xie Ling nodded. "I've locked it in the safe for you."

She pointed to the safe in the study as she spoke.

Upon hearing this, Dong Tianbao immediately walked into the study.

Mona curiously moved closer to Xie Ling and whispered, "What's so mysterious that it's locked in a safe?"

Xie Ling shook her head. "I didn't check either. Old Li only told me not to bump into anything, so I put it in the safe. If Bao Ye hadn't just asked, I would have forgotten about it... Come on, let's go take a look together."

Mona nodded, and the girls immediately became interested, rushing into the study in a swarm.

Dong Tianbao opened the safe, and was immediately stunned when he opened the box.

Six sets of national gift porcelain lay quietly inside the foam boxes.

His lips twitched involuntarily; it was quite a concession that they didn't use a plastic bag this time.

He knew this familiar recipe all too well; in his past life, it had been sent to an international friend in a plastic bag, as seen in the news.

Little did he know that these six sets of state gift porcelain were initially packed in plastic bags, but later, fearing that they might break during transportation, they were specially packed in foam boxes.

"Wait, something's not right! There seems to be another small box." Xie Ling tapped her temple with her finger, then began to look around the study, finally spotting a small box behind the door.

"Oh, here it is. I used it to block the door when I moved in..."

"You spendthrift woman! Do you even know what this thing is? It's used to jam doors." Dong Tianbao said, both amused and exasperated. He then carefully opened the box and picked up a set of porcelain vases.

The sky was a warm, jade-like blue, just like the sky after a rain.

"Tch, Old Li never told me it was porcelain!" Xie Ling pouted.

"Wow..." Mona couldn't help but gasp, her eyes fixed on the porcelain vase in Dong Tianbao's hand. "Master Bao, this is so beautiful! Would you call it an antique?"

Long Meimei's eyes were also sparkling, as if she had seen a treasure.

"An artifact? What a load of rubbish! In ancient times, this thing would be a get-out-of-jail-free card. Even now... it's just an artifact, worthless." Dong Tianbao wanted to say that it would be a get-out-of-jail-free card even now, but he held back.

This is extremely important. The fewer people who know about it, the better.

Although the women in the room are all blessed by the system and will never betray you.

But some things are best left unsaid; you just need to know them in your own heart.

"Hey, your surname is engraved on the bottom of Master Bao's statue!" the Red Witch exclaimed, looking down at the bottom of the statue.

Dong Tianbao carefully turned the porcelain bottle upside down, and it really was.

A character "董" the size of a fingernail.

He then opened another one to take a look, and it still had his surname printed on it.

"Take the rest apart and look at them carefully, be careful not to drop them," Dong Tianbao said.

The girls nodded and, without prior arrangement, each took a set and started taking them apart.

"Master Bao, this is yellow!"

"A congratulatory message!"

"The character '包'..."

The character "霍".

"The character '过' (guò)."

"Huh, why is there a 'Congratulations' character on it?"

"No, the character '贺' (He) has a date on it," Xie Ling said after taking a closer look.

Dong Tianbao took it and saw that it was indeed true. He thought about it for a moment and instantly understood.

The "He" in front refers to his father-in-law, while the one with the date in the back should be the deceased true Macau king – the He family.

"Master Bao, you're in a couple, everyone else is in an odd number..."

Xie Ling opened her mouth in surprise, but before she could finish speaking, Dong Tianbao waved her hand to interrupt her.

I am utterly unworthy of such an honor!

Dong Tianbao pondered to himself that, in terms of what he had done, it seemed that it was not much compared to big figures like Old Master Huo, the He family of Macau, and the Bao family.

But he actually forgot,

Just by bombing Japan and returning those stone lions, we could secure a spot; plus Hong Kong, Taiwan, foreign exchange reserves, children's funds, and so on!

It's only right that they get another spot.

After all the state gift porcelain pieces were packed back into the warehouse.

"Ah Ling, you were jumping around a lot just now! Did you think you were invincible again?" Dong Tianbao smiled wickedly.

When the women saw Dong Tianbao's appearance, they all secretly sighed, "This is bad! He's going to turn into a wolf in broad daylight!"

Xie Ling counted the heads; one person could easily last an hour. She puffed out her chest and said, "I've been gone a few days, and you've already hooked up with a foreign girl. You've really grown some guts! Sisters, let's get him!"

She said that and rushed over first.

The others were taken aback. Should they all attack together?

How is that possible!

He's a monster!

Dong Tianbao smiled slightly, "Mona, close the door!"

Mona, the lustful young woman, replied, "Alright!"

Clothes were scattered all over the lounge in no time.

……

Time flew by, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.

The Huo Family Mansion.

"Father, these politicians are really something. They just use cancellations, demotions, and pay cuts to get away with it," Huo Zhenting said, placing the newspaper in front of his father.

"Heh, it's not that simple!"

"Business is about profit, efficiency, and exclusivity. Politics, on the other hand, is about power, order, and the public interest."

If an ordinary person heard what Old Huo said, they would probably be completely confused.

Huo Zhenting received a good education and family influence from a young age, and coupled with his own quick wit, he grasped things very easily.

"Father means that from Cai Yuanqi's abduction and transfer to the north to these reports, someone is manipulating things behind the scenes?! And this person understands the psychology of politicians,"

...They precisely grasped their weaknesses, turning a major upheaval into a tacitly agreed-upon political show.

A look of realization flashed across Huo Zhenting's eyes, and he continued to analyze along with his father's train of thought: "It seems that this matter was handled swiftly and decisively, and it also seems that the public was given an explanation and order was maintained."

The surface is perfect.

But I don't understand who benefits the most. I would appreciate it if Father could tell me.

Old Master Huo picked up his teacup, took a sip, and nodded slightly: "The biggest winner is definitely the North! With Cai Yuanqi there, whoever wins is the biggest winner, and of course, there's someone else..."

He gave a mysterious smile and looked at Huo Zhenting.

Huo Zhenting seemed to have thought of something.

"Father, you mean that Dong you've always wanted to see..."

"Master...Young Master!"

"Mr. Dong has arrived."

Butler Huo trotted in and said respectfully.
