Old Wang grumbled as he left the group chat, feeling a disconnect with the people there, as if they weren't on the same level.
"What are you all chatting about on your phones?" Jack Ma leaned closer to Jiang Quanshui.
"The Huaxia Forbes group chat. You don't have an account, register one, and I'll add you," Jiang Quanshui said.
Upon hearing "Weixin group," Jack Ma immediately lost interest.
"Registering is out of the question."
It was just like how Penguin Ma never registered for Baobao Pay.
If he registered for Weixin, wouldn't he be mocked by Penguin Ma all the time?
Penguin Ma, seeing Jack Ma's apparent interest, chuckled, "How about it? Want to register? I'll even get you a Weixin Loan with a one million yuan limit."
"Scram! You register for Baobao Pay, and I'll give you a hundred million yuan credit limit," Jack Ma cursed.
Penguin Ma smiled and said nothing, thinking about how long Jack Ma could hold out. Nowadays, everyone used their own software for communication, and it was so inconvenient not to have Weixin.
It was fine not to use it before, but now that everyone was with Xia Feng, Jack Ma would eventually have to bow down to him.
"Oh right, I remembered something. How are you planning to deal with the Keli Entertainment Company that we suppressed earlier?" Old Wang suddenly brought up the matter.
When Old Wang asked, the other three fell silent in unison.
They had already discussed it and decided to acquire Keli Entertainment, and had instructed people to handle the matter.
"What do you mean? Are you all mute?" Old Wang asked, filled with curiosity.
"Let bygones be bygones. They've suffered enough from the suppression," Penguin Ma suggested.
"Are you talking nonsense? Do you think I haven't heard of 'Nanshan Always Wins'?" Old Wang immediately started cursing.
If Jiang Quanshui or Jack Ma had said that, it would have been one thing.
But coming from Penguin Ma, it was unacceptable.
Any company targeted by them either went bankrupt or was acquired, yet he still talked about letting bygones be bygones.
Old Wang almost laughed at the mention of "Nanshan Always Wins," which was famous nationwide.
Everyone knew about it. Da Feng Novel Network.
Penguin Ma: ...
"We'll see about that. No rush," Jack Ma interjected to ease the tension.
After all, the acquisition of Keli Entertainment was something they three were united on, and he had to step in to help Penguin Ma out of this awkward situation.
"I have a feeling you three are hiding something from me," Old Wang asked, feigning surprise.
"Something's not right, not right at all."
"Old Wang, did you damage your brain while scrubbing the toilet? Do you think those two could ever agree on anything?" Jiang Quanshui pointed at Jack Ma and Penguin Ma.
Old Wang nodded, thinking that it was indeed true. These two were oil and water, and couldn't possibly plot together.
It seemed he had been overthinking it.
After chatting for a few days, National Prince Xiao Wang and the others returned from grocery shopping.
Xia Feng's personal chef had become Teacher Ma. Penguin Ma had lost his chance.
Even if Penguin Ma were asked to cook now, he wouldn't dare to go.
After dinner, everyone sat in the living room, drinking tea and chatting happily. The villa was filled with a joyous atmosphere.
Sometimes, they realized that this was the life they wanted every day.
For those who enjoyed lively gatherings, such a scene was very appealing.
It was like celebrating the New Year. Some people liked liveliness, enjoying their relatives and friends staying for a few extra days.
Others preferred quiet, wanting to be alone, putting on headphones, and shutting out the world's hustle and bustle.
"Grandpa, Brother's phone call," Britain Peter said softly to Dula Peter.
Dula Peter took his phone and walked aside.
"Speak," Dula Peter said in a deep voice, holding the phone.
"Grandpa, I hope I'm not disturbing your sleep. I have something to report to you," Dula Peter's eldest grandson, Rolls Peter, asked softly.
"What is it?" Dula Peter asked.
"I've found traces of the Chinese Dog Head Seal. (I feel something is off about not marking the Dog Head as open.)"
Rolls Peter knew his grandfather was in China and was with an immortal. Since the Dog Head Seal was a national treasure of China, he felt it was his duty to inform his grandfather.
Regardless, he hoped this news could help his grandfather.
"Oh? Where?" Dula Peter's interest was piqued.
"With the Habsburg family in Italy," Rolls Peter replied.
Upon hearing this, Dula Peter felt a headache coming on. If it were in the hands of an ordinary person, he would find a way to buy it or use some means to acquire it.
But the Habsburg family was different. They were an extremely formidable family.
The Habsburg family was one of the four major families in Italy. They originally resided in Alsace, France, and were one of the longest-reigning and most widespread feudal families in European history, only ending their rule after the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1918.
This family had once ruled Europe.
Although their reign ended a century ago, the depth of their family's heritage was terrifyingly immense.
Furthermore, there were old monsters in their family whose power surpassed Dula Peter's. This was enough to give Dula Peter a headache.
What he had initially thought was a good opportunity to curry favor now seemed completely different.
Dula Peter was quite influential in Europe, but when it came to the Habsburg family, he felt a little uneasy. If he were a prince, it would be another matter.
"Alright, I know."
Dula Peter hung up the phone.
He was thinking about how to mention this matter to Xia Feng. The Dog Head Seal was, after all, a national treasure of China. Now that it had reappeared after being lost abroad, every Chinese person would want to reclaim what belonged to their country.
As Dula Peter walked over, National Prince Xiao Wang was bragging.
"I'm not exaggerating, there really are all sorts of contrarians. Last time, I saw a professional contrarian, and the conversation went like this:
'Yangcheng First-Class Contrarian King: Yangcheng is a province, and Yucheng is a city. Can they be compared?'
'Domestic Girl Isn't Sentimental: Are you out of your mind? Yangcheng is a city, and Yucheng is also a city. They both belong to Dong Province.
'Yangcheng First-Class Contrarian King: Yangcheng Province Dong City, not Dong Province Yangcheng City. Read more if you have the time, it's useful.
National Prince Xiao Wang: Haha... First floor, if you can convince the second floor, you'll be promoted to a Special Class Contrarian.
'That's nothing compared to the contrarians I've met,' Qin Dou shook his head, also preparing to show off.
At this moment, Dula Peter walked over and said, "Master, I have an important matter to report to you."
Xia Feng, who was listening with great interest, looked up at Dula Peter and asked, "What is it?"
"I've obtained the whereabouts of China's national treasure, the Dog Head Seal," Dula Peter said respectfully.
"The Dog Head Seal?"
Everyone was taken aback.
This was indeed an important matter.
As Chinese citizens, they all wanted to bring back their country's artifacts and not let them remain scattered abroad.
