……

Upon hearing this, Huo Zhenting's eyes flashed with curiosity.

Old Master Huo put down his teacup, a meaningful smile playing on his lips: "Please come to the front hall quickly."

Butler: "The master has been invited to the front hall."

"Alright, speak of the devil and he appears! Zhenting, come with me to see him."

In the front hall of the Huo family mansion, Dong Tianbao stood there, somewhat nervous and excited, looking at the four powerful characters on the wall: "Ambassador of the People".

Hearing footsteps, he quickly turned around and saw Old Master Huo walking over with Huo Zhenting by his side.

"Mr. Huo, I'm so sorry I only had time to see you today. I really..."

"Hey, I know about your business. It's good that you're busy. Please sit down!" Old Huo quickly waved his hand to interrupt, then pulled him down to sit.

"Butler, make some tea!"

"Yes, sir!"

Huo Zhenting watched this scene with a hint of jealousy, as he had enjoyed such treatment since childhood. However, he felt no envy in his eyes, but rather became increasingly curious about Dong Tianbao.

What kind of person is he that his father thinks so highly of him and even likes him so much?

"Old Master Huo, it's truly amazing to see you still so vigorous in your old age! I've come today to thank you for your support; otherwise, I really wouldn't have been able to get my hands on Huo Zhaotang's Huo Bank."

"What are you talking about? Helping you is helping ourselves! It's not like my Huo family didn't get shares," Old Master Huo said with a smile.

"But you, quietly, have accomplished so much! You didn't keep nearly a billion US dollars for yourself, but instead established a children's foundation in mainland China to benefit all the children there. When I heard that, I felt old; I don't have the same drive and ambition as you young people..."

Old Huo gently patted the back of Dong Tianbao's hand and sighed.

Huo Zhenting was stunned. Nearly one billion US dollars, which is almost ten billion Hong Kong dollars, just like that… Wow! With this kind of boldness, he was no match for him…

"Mr. Huo is joking. I'm heartbroken for you now..."

"Haha, you're being modest now. If you were worried about the cost, would you have spent so much money in Pengcheng? You even made Li Huanggua suffer a setback. I was so happy when I heard that I ate several bowls of rice." Old Huo laughed and scolded.

It didn't sound like a conversation between someone in a high position and someone in a low position; it sounded more like a reunion of old friends who hadn't seen each other for years.

Dong Tianbao naturally sensed all this and sighed inwardly: What a kind and gentle old man, the national flag he draped was perfectly folded.

Bah Bah!

What are you thinking! Old Huo is alive and well now.

"You were the one who orchestrated this, weren't you? You're truly courageous and resourceful; you handled it brilliantly."

"Don't be modest. That brat Huang Bingyao is always thinking about squashing those foreigners' heads. With his brain, he couldn't come up with such a meticulous plan."

Old Huo's words once again caused a huge uproar, like a depth charge.

Although Huo Zhenting had guessed it before, he was only half convinced.

Seeing Dong Tianbao's explanatory expression, he was 100% convinced that it was him who did it.

His father never praised someone for no reason.

"Mr. Huo, do you know Assistant Director Huang?" Dong Tianbao put away his modesty and looked intently at Mr. Huo.

"Come, have some tea!" Old Master Huo said casually without speaking.

This really whetted Dong Tianbao's appetite.

Dong Tianbao hadn't expected Old Huo to have such a playful side, so he stopped urging him and picked up the teacup in front of him to drink.

You don't even need to drink it; just by smelling the aroma, you can tell it's tribute tea.

Seeing that Dong Tianbao was so composed, Old Huo lost interest and finished his drink before speaking: "I've known Huang Bingyao since he was about your age. Back then, he wasn't working yet and was always fighting at the docks."

Once, he offended someone, and I happened to pass by and saved his life. I then persuaded him to join the police force, and the kid, true to his word, used his fighting skills to carve out a path for himself.

"So, Inspector Wong is one of your men!"

"What do you mean 'my person' and 'his person'? He is himself, a person with the country in his heart," Old Huo waved his hand and corrected.

Dong Tianbao smiled and nodded. Some things are better left unsaid; it's enough to keep them to yourself.

Just like Huang Bingyao is his maternal uncle, Huo Lao probably knew that, but didn't say anything.

This is what we tacitly understand.

"So, I watched him grow up. I know he can fight, but as for his cunning, that's impossible unless he's possessed by a ghost or a god," Old Huo said with a smile, a hint of reminiscence flashing in his eyes.

Dong Tianbao thought to himself: How could I not fight? 90 combat points! The scissor kick can really crush your head, not like the jokes in the movies.

"Ah Bao, you didn't come here today just to see me, did you?"

We've finally gotten back to the main topic.

"Ah Jin, bring my things in for me," Dong Tianbao called out to Gao Jin outside the door.

Gao Jin hurriedly brought in two gift boxes, placed them on the coffee table, and then retreated outside the door.

"Huh! What's this?" Old Huo asked in confusion.

Huo Zhenting also looked at the two gift boxes on the coffee table with a puzzled expression.

Dong Tianbao smiled without saying a word, like Old Master Huo, and handed over the gift box that belonged to Old Master Huo, saying, "You'll know once you open it yourself."

"You little rascal, you're making it all so mysterious for me." Old Huo said, but his hands were faster than anyone else's.

As the object in his hands slowly revealed its true form, Old Huo was first shocked, then his eyes reddened, and tears streamed down his face as he murmured, "National gift porcelain..."

Is Mr. Huo heartbroken?

Obviously not, it was excitement.

To receive the recognition of two generations of No. 1 satellites is such an honor.

The Dragon Kingdom has not forgotten him!

"Father!"

"Mr. Huo, let Old Master Huo have some fun and relax; it's an honor!!"

Dong Tianbao grabbed Huo Zhenting, who was about to comfort Old Master Huo.

Huo Zhenting had been instilled with the words "loyalty and patriotism" by his father since childhood. Although he did not know why his father did so, he felt a sense of honor when he saw the national gift porcelain. After hearing Dong Tianbao's words, he sat quietly to the side and did not disturb him.

Three minutes later.

"Zhenting, go tell the kitchen to prepare a few more good dishes. You and Abao can have a good drink at noon." Old Man Huo gave the order without turning around, then wiped his eyes and said, "Abao, I'm sorry you had to see this."

"What are you saying, Elder Huo? When I got this, I cried for most of the day. If it weren't for my women comforting me, I would have cried with joy all day long." Dong Tianbao lied without batting an eye.

Huo Zhenting obediently left to inform the kitchen.

Old Huo chuckled and shook his head. This kid really knows how to make things up. "Then what is this?"

"This is for the shipping magnate; please have Mr. Huo pass it on to him!"

"Are you worried that the foreigners hiding in the shadows will find out...?"

"Yes, the state gift porcelain was originally intended to be delivered to you personally, but as you know, Mr. Huo, these are extraordinary times..."

Old Huo waved his hand, "As the saying goes, patriotism isn't just something you say, it's something you keep in your heart. This old man understands, and so does Boss Bao!"

"Come on, let's go have a few drinks with the old man. Today's a good day!"

Dong Tianbao nodded heavily.

……

(Note: To be honest, this chapter was really difficult to write. I originally planned to write four or five chapters about the two characters, Old Master Huo and the Ship King Bao, describing Old Master Huo's heroic deeds, the Ship King Bao's deeds, and so on!)

But I got stuck while writing, not from writer's block, but because it involved sensitive topics.

I was afraid that writing it would turn into something reminiscent of a dark room, so I gave up. This chapter was written very hastily and casually.

(P.S.: Please be gentle with your criticism, please be gentle with your criticism, please be gentle with your criticism. I'm saying it three times because it's important!!!)
