The Mightiest Little Peasant c1-799

  “… Really?”

  “Really!”

  His hand that was holding the cup trembled slightly.

  ‘What the hell? The kid actually bought a Rolls-Royce for Yutong? That’s a luxury car with an astronomical price tag!

  ‘Damn! Just who is this kid? He’s not your typical rich kid!’

  “How… how much?” He came to his senses and swallowed hard.

  “Fif… fifteen million!” Han Yu Tong hesitated for a moment and said.

  Clang! Clang!

  More things dropped in the kitchen.

  Su Yufu’s hand trembled, and the teacup fell, spilling tea all over the floor.

  He was stunned for a long time before he stood up and said excitedly, “Quick, take me to see the car! I want to see what a fifteen-million-yuan car looks like!”

  Mrs. Han and First Aunt walked out from the kitchen. Their faces were full of confusion.

  The group of people went out of the apartment and downstairs to look at the car.

  A crowd had gathered around the car downstairs. They used their cell phones and took pictures of the car.

  “Wow! This car is so cool! It should be worth at least a million!”

  “Ha! You’re really ignorant. Can’t you recognize that this is a Rolls-Royce? It’s at least worth five or six million!”

  “You’re all mistaken. Look here and see if it’s the same car. This is a vintage Phantom. It’s worth at least fifteen million.”

  Someone showed a picture on his phone to the crowd.

  Immediately, the crowd exclaimed in surprise.

  Some people wanted to touch the car, but they immediately withdrew their hands, in case they accidentally scratched it. How were they going to compensate for a fifteen-million-yuan car if they did any damage to it?

  “Whose car is this? I’ve never seen it appear in our residential area!”

  “I know! I saw it just now. It belongs to Sis Su’s daughter. She’s the assistant for that rich kid. I saw her driving the car just now.”

  “Oh, it’s her! Then this car belongs to that rich kid!”

  The people discussed.

  “Make way! This car belongs to my Yutong. Her boyfriend gave it to her!” Su Yufu squeezed in and shouted.

  “It can’t be!”

  Everyone was unconvinced.

  “If you don’t believe it, you can ask him yourself!” As he said that, Su Yufu pointed at Tang Hao, who was walking over.

  After receiving an affirmative answer, everyone was stunned.

  Then, they exclaimed in surprise.

  “F*ck! How lavish!” The men were amazed.

  The middle-aged women were extremely envious.

  “Sis Su is really lucky! I wonder how many apartment units you could buy with that car!”

  More and more people swarmed over when they heard the commotion. It was a very lively scene.

  Eventually, the crowd returned to their respective homes.

  Su Yufu enthusiastically pulled Tang Hao to one side.

  “Lil Tang! Where do you come from? What’s your family business?” He rained questions on Tang Hao.

  Meanwhile, Su Yingyu gritted her teeth and was very angry.

  “Hmph! He just has some money, right? What’s the big deal!” She muttered angrily, “No matter how much money you have, you’re still relying on your parents. My Wei made his own fortune. Not only is he capable, but he’s also gentle and considerate, and his cooking skills are excellent!”

  She looked at Lin Wei and said, “Go and help out in the kitchen, hubby. Show them your culinary skills.”

  Lin Wei straightened his back. He was quite confident in his culinary skills.

  “Wei’s cooking is so delicious, you might accidentally swallow your tongue!” Su Yingyu said smugly.

  She shot an instigating gaze at Han Yutong.

  Han Yutong was taken aback, but she burst into laughter.

  ‘How dare he show off his culinary skills in front of Chairman Tang? How ignorant!’

  “What are you laughing at!” Su Yingyu was annoyed.

  “He can cook too!” Han Yutong held back her laughter and pointed at Tang Hao.

  Tang Hao nodded his head cooperatively.

  “Ha! He can cook too? Alright, let him cook a dish. We can see who’s better!” Su Yingyu said disdainfully.

  ‘What cooking skills could this kid have? He’s an average cook at most. He won’t be on the same level as Wei!’

  “Sure, I’ll cook something then!”

  Tang Hao stood up and said to Lin Wei, “After you!”

  Lin Wei made a Sichuan-style boiled fish. His movements were swift and skilled. Very soon, a pot of boiled fish was ready. Its color, fragrance, and taste were perfect.

  “What do you think?” Lin Wei said smugly as he placed the bowl on the dining table.

  “Now, it’s your turn. What do you want to do?”

  “Splendid Eight Treasures Soup!” Tang Hao said.

  Lin Wei was taken aback, but he laughed. “Isn’t that magical cuisine? Don’t think that I’ve never heard of it. Not only have I eaten it, but I’ve also studied it! I can’t replicate it at all. It always ends up too medicinal and tastes terrible.”

  Tang Hao ignored him and asked Han Yutong to buy some medicinal herbs. Then, he began to process the ingredients.

  The original Eight Treasures Soup was made from eight rare ingredients and a lot of medicinal herbs. He did not have the rare ingredients on hand, but ordinary ingredients would do.

  After Tang Hao processed the ingredients, he placed them in a stewpan. That was when the medicinal herbs arrived.

  He processed them quickly and threw them into the pot.

  “It’ll definitely taste terrible. There’s no doubt!

  “Do you think you can actually replicate magical cuisine? So many renowned chefs have tried it but failed. They couldn’t even come close,” Lin Wei sneered.

  Half an hour later, to everyone’s surprise, an unbelievable fragrance gradually drifted out from the kitchen.

  “Wow! It smells so good!” Han Yutong exclaimed in admiration.

  Lin Wei, on the other hand, took a deep sniff. He was immediately stunned, and he revealed an incredulous expression.

  “How… how is this possible?”

  He suddenly stood up and stared at Tang Hao.

  Tang Hao said indifferently, “How is it impossible? I’m the one who invented magical cuisine!”

  Lin Wei and Su Yingyu were both stunned. Then, they almost burst out laughing.

  ‘What’s this kid talking about?

  ‘He’s invented magical cuisine? What a braggart!

  ‘What is magical cuisine? It’s now publicly recognized as the best type of cuisine. It has a supreme status in the culinary world. Many people think that it’s impossible.

  ‘Magical cuisine is legendary!

  ‘How could such an amazing thing be invented by a kid?

  ‘You don’t even need your brain to think if the claim is true!’

  However, the fragrance was undoubtedly magical cuisine. That kid really did know how to make magical cuisine.

  Su Yingyu gritted her teeth. Her face was turning green with envy.

  In terms of money, her husband could not compare to her cousin sister’s boyfriend. Now, her husband lost in culinary skills too. She was furious.

  “Don’t brag, kid. That’s probably the only dish you know!” Lin Wei said, “But speaking of that, I’m very curious. Where did you learn it? New Magical Kitchen doesn’t pass its skills to outsiders.”

  “Does he need to learn it? He invented magical cuisine and founded New Magical Kitchen…” Han Yutong said.

  Lin Wei was shocked. “He founded New Magical Kitchen? No way! Isn’t New Magical Kitchen under Haotian Group? It’s that big corporation!”

  “Yes! He’s
the chairman of Haotian Group!”

  Han Yutong lifted her chin and said smugly.

  Su Yingyu and Lin Wei were shocked.

  Su Yufu spat out the tea in his mouth.

  “Cough cough! Wh… what? He’s the boss of Haotian Group?” Su Yufu was astounded.

  He had asked the kid what was his job earlier, but the kid only said that he ran a business. He did not expect it to be the famous Haotian Group.

  “Yes!” Han Yutong nodded smugly.

  Then, she looked at Su Yingyu instigatingly.

  Su Yingyu had a blank expression. She still could not believe what she heard. When she came to her senses and saw the instigating look in Han Yutong’s eyes, her facial muscles twitched, and her expression became unpleasant.

  She was extremely jealous.

  ‘I’m so angry! What does she have that’s better than me?’

  She gritted her teeth and pinched her husband’s waist hard.

  “Ouch!” Lin Wei’s face twisted with pain.

  “So you’re Haotian’s boss, Lil Tang! How amazing! What a rare talent!” Su Yufu stood up and shook hands with Tang Hao enthusiastically.

  He thought that Tang Hao was only a rich kid, but he did not expect him to be such an outstanding person.

  Of course, he knew about the amazing Haotian Group, but he did not expect the chairman to be so young. It was unbelievable.

  Soon, the Splendid Eight Treasures Soup was ready and served on the table.

  The big bowl was emptied in a short while. Even Su Yingyu and her husband could not help but eat to their fill.

  After lunch, they chatted for a while before Su Yufu’s family left.

  “They’re gone, finally!” Han Yutong let out a long sigh.

  She felt cathartic about what happened earlier.

  “Thank you, Chairman Tang!”

  She smiled brightly and leaned over to give Tang Hao a light kiss on the cheek.

  “Oh, right, what are we going to do next? You promised to be my boyfriend for the whole day. It’s only three o’clock now!”

  She furrowed her brows and began to ponder.

  “How about… we go for a drive, watch a movie, or go shopping? Ah, right! I think there’s a meteor shower tonight. Will you view it with me, Chairman Tang?”

  She turned to look at Tang Hao with some anticipation.

  Tang Hao nodded and smiled. “You’re the boss today!”

  “Yay!” She cheered joyfully.

  “Then… wait for me for a bit. I’ll change my clothes!” As she said that, she turned around and went upstairs to her room.

  About ten minutes later, her room door opened, and she walked out.

  Tang Hao looked up, and he was instantly stunned.

  She changed into the dreamy pure white gown that Tang Hao had bought for her. She wore a pair of sparkling crystal high heels on her feet and jewelry on her wrists and neck.

  Her appearance was dazzling.

  Her fair and delicate skin and her impeccable features even outshone the stars and the moon.

  Tang Hao said, “You’re…”

  “We’re going on a date! I have to dress up!” She walked over slowly and stretched a delicate hand at him.

  Her hands were very beautiful. Her fingers were slender like flower stalks.

  She was slightly blushing.

  “Aren’t you cold? !” Tang Hao reprimanded her. Then, he took out a fur coat and draped it over her shoulders.

  Then, he held her hand.

  She pursed her lips, feeling warmth in her heart.

  “I’m heading out, Mom!”

  Mrs. Han said, “Be safe! You won’t be back for dinner, right?”

  “Mm!”

  They went downstairs and to the car. Tang Hao opened the car door and invited her in.

  “Where are we going?”

  “We’re going for a drive first. Then, we’ll buy a cake and watch the shooting stars,” Tang Hao said as he sat in the driver’s seat.

  “Cake?” She was surprised.

  “Yeah! Do you think I don’t know about today?” Tang Hao said with a smile.

  “You know!” She stuck out her tongue and said playfully. She felt sweetness in her heart.

  “Then… does this car count as a birthday present?”

  “Nope! I’ve prepared something else as a present.”

  “Really? What is it?”

  “I’ll give it to you tonight!”

  “Hmph! You keep me guessing!”

  “Alright, let’s go!”

  Tang Hao started the car and drove out.

  The car attracted everyone’s attention on the road. Many people turned to look at it.

  After driving around and shopping, they bought a cake and went to a mountain in the countryside.

  The car stopped. Tang Hao helped her to the roof of the car.

  “Are you sure, Chairman Tang? This is a Rolls-Royce…”

  “It’s fine. If we damage it, I’ll buy you another one.”

  The two sat on the car with the cake in the middle.

  “Are you hungry?”

  “A little! But let’s wait for the shooting stars. If we make a wish, it’ll definitely come true.”

  “Will there really be shooting stars?”

  “I think so! I saw it on Weibo.”

  “Then let’s wait!”

  The two of them sat back to back, looking at the boundless night sky full of stars. They were awestruck by the view.

  The night was quiet and peaceful.

  They did not realize the flow of time.

  Eventually, she could not contain her hunger.

  “I’m so hungry! Let’s eat!”

  “OK!”

  She lit the candles one by one, clasped her hands, closed her eyes, made a wish, and blew the candles out.

  “OK! Now it’s time for my birthday present!”

  She looked at Tang Hao with an expectant gaze.

  Tang Hao reached behind him and retrieved a small jade bottle.

  Her beautiful eyes lit up. “This is a medical pill, right? Is it similar to the last one?”

  “This is… a Pill of Everlasting Youth! You’ll retain your beautiful looks forever after eating it!”

  Chapter 621 - Future Developments

  “Really?”

  Han Yutong exclaimed in disbelief. Then, she became excited.

  She reached out to take the jade bottle, held it in her palm, and looked at it again and again.

  “Great! This way… I can always follow you and be your assistant forever!”

  A sweet and beautiful smile grew on her face.

  The moonlight shone on her delicate face, covering it in a gentle aura. It was like a scene in a dream.

  Tang Hao laughed and said, “Let’s eat! Aren’t you hungry?”

  “Right!” She cut off a piece of cake and ate it.

  “Mmm! It’s so delicious!” She mumbled with her mouth full of cake and smiled sweetly at Tang Hao.

  She was sated after a piece of cake, so she started to fool around. She smeared cream on Tang Hao’s face, and she giggled when she saw Tang Hao’s surprised look.

  Tang Hao also dabbed some cream and prepared to smear it on Han Yutong’s face. She quickly jumped off the car and ran away.

  They chased after each other for a while before returning to the car roof.

  They sat there and looked at the starry sky.

  Han Yutong glanced at the person beside her from time to time. She felt complicated when she saw that handsome face.

  The relationship between the two had clearly surpassed that between a boss and his employee.

  However, they were not lovers yet.

  After all, he had a girlfriend!

  She felt some resentment in her heart when she thought of that.

  “Perhaps this is the best,” she thought to herself.

  It did not matter if she was his lover. It was enough if she could stay by his side.

  She felt a lot better after thinkin
g of that.

  At that moment, meteors suddenly fell across the night sky. It was a breath-taking sight.

  “Wow! Meteors!”

  She exclaimed as she sat straight and looked up at the night sky.

  Her beautiful eyes were sparkling.

  “It’s so beautiful! Chairman Tang, get up and make a wish!”

  She pulled Tang Hao’s hand hard.

  Then, she clasped her hands together and solemnly made a wish.

  Tang Hao sat up and made a wish to the meteor shower in the sky.

  “What wish did you make, Chairman Tang?”

  “I wish that everyone I know will be safe!” Tang Hao said.

  “Haha! How old-fashioned!”

  “What did you wish for then?”

  “I’m not telling you. Don’t ask about a girl’s wishes! Besides, wishes don’t come true when you tell them.”

  Tang Hao was speechless.

  “Don’t mind that! Look at the meteor shower. How beautiful!”

  She leaned close to Tang Hao and rested her head on his shoulder, watching the meteors fall from the sky.

  The scene was as beautiful as a painting.

  The two of them were mesmerized by the view and leaned against each other quietly.

  Soon, the meteor shower ended, and the night became darker.

  She had fallen asleep. Her face was serene.

  When Tang Hao realized that, he could not help but smile. He carefully carried her in her arms, put her in the back seat of the car, and covered her with a thin blanket.

  Then, he sent her home.

  The New Year’s holiday passed in a flash. It was coming to the end of the semester.

  Tang Hao attended his classes diligently to prepare for the exams. Occasionally, he would study with Yan’er. The days were rather uneventful.

  In the company, Tang Hao received the quarterly earnings report and perused it.

  Out of the seven subsidiary companies of Haotian Group, the plantation company was not meant to be profitable, and Haotian Pictures was just starting out and thus had no profits.

  The other five companies were growing steadily.

  Haotian Health Products’s profits rose from 290 million in the last quarter to 350 million in the current quarter, which was rather remarkable.

  Masculine Wind Health Products’s profits increased from 310 million in the last quarter to 420 million in the current quarter. That was a bigger increase than Haotian Health Products.
