Just as the voice finished saying this, a person instantly rushed in.
Her speed was very fast, even faster than that of the human limit! In just a split second, little Bai Hechou directly vanished from Lan Ruoxi’s hands!
“Ah, my Grandson!” Seeing her Grandson being snatched away, Lan Ruoxi instantly went into a rage. “Give my Grandson back to me!” Saying so, she ran out of the room.
Luckily, Hong Dali knew who that voice belonged to and hurriedly stopped Lan Ruoxi. “Mum, don’t worry, I know this person.” Saying so, he ran out and shouted, “Sister Xiao Yi, that’s my Son, be careful with him! If not, I won’t give you any more Dali Beans to eat!”
“Don’t worry.” Xiao Yi’s voice came from a far distance, already at the end of the corridor. “For your Dali Beans, I promise I won’t let him die, hehe...”
Then, her figure disappeared into the distance.
“It’s Sister Zhang Yi!” Tang Muxin said in surprise. “Why did she take Bai Hechou away?”
“How would I know why?” Hong Dali frantically said, “She took the wrong medicine today!?”
But very quickly, Hong Dali came around and asked the astonished manly nurse, “Ah, oh right, Sister Manly, what illness did my little Bai Hechou have again?”
“Congenital bullous epidermis relaxation.” The manly nurse hurriedly replied, “This is a skin disease caused by chromosomal abnormalities.”
“That’s right, chromosome!” Hong Dali laughed loudly and said, “Sister Xiao Yi’s expertise is genetic modification. This time, there’s hope for my little Bai Hechou!”
“You mean to say that the person who took away our little precious is a doctor?” Lan Ruoxi was surprised. “But isn’t this doctor’s speed a bit too fast? Zhang Yi... Why do I remember hearing this name somewhere before...”
Hong Weiguo seemed to have thought of something and suddenly said, “Could it that she’s from the same organization as that child Chuyin?”
Hong Dali violently nodded and said, “That’s right. If there’s someone in the world who has a chance of curing little Bai Hechou, then that person is definitely Sister Xiao Yi!”
It looks like this little rascal’s connections are quite scary indeed, he knows people from all kinds of fields, and they are all experts in what they do.
Hong Weiguo and Lan Ruoxi knew that some things couldn’t be said in detail. Although their Grandson was taken away, it seemed that he would be fine.
Now, seeing that little Bai Hechou was actually taken away, the reporters all looked at one another and nodded in unison. The person leading them said, “Director Hong, Young Master Dali, since everything is finished here, we shall be leaving now.” Saying so, he didn’t forget to add, “Of course, we will definitely not broadcast the last part.”
This fellow’s not bad, quite sensible!
Hong Dali was very satisfied with their attitude, snapped his fingers, and said, “Yup, not bad. Reward, one piece!”
Thus, a lackey took out the gold bricks and gave one to each reporter. “Keep it, it’s a reward from the Young Master!”
The reports all exclaimed and sighed. “This Young Master Dali is indeed generous. Look at this, he used a gold brick as a casual tip, there are even the words ‘From Hong Dali’ on them. I must definitely keep this as my family heirloom!”
“Young Master Dali.” The lead reporter nodded and bowed. “We shall be leaving now.”
“Yup, OK, go do your work.”
After the reporters left, Hong Dali grinned, approached Hong Weiguo and asked, “Dad, how’re things at the Chamber of Commerce? Is it fun there? If it’s fun, I shall go there and play a bit too.”
“Little rascal.” Hong Weiguo and Lan Ruoxi looked at one another, smiled and said, “Thinks are OK there, no big issues. It’s just a bunch of people comparing who is more wealthy. You definitely wouldn’t be willing to go there, it’s quite boring.” Actually, Hong Weiguo being impeached by the Chamber of Commerce wasn’t a small matter, but since this was already over and Qian Guangzhao had fallen, Hong Weiguo didn’t want Hong Dali to worry and therefore didn’t mention it.
“Oh, that’s true.” Hong Dali sniffled, grinned, and said, “Oh right, I suddenly remembered that I have some stuff to do recently, but I reckon I wouldn’t have the time to do them. Dad, why don’t you help me settle that stuff?”
“Ah?” Hearing that Hong Dali seemed to have something good again, Hong Weiguo instantly dazed for a while. Hong Dali’s ideas were never lousy. Hong Weiguo and Lan Ruoxi knew that this matter couldn’t be disclosed to others, so they pulled Hong Dali out of the room to a quiet corner. Then, Hong Weiguo softly asked, “What idea is it? Quick, tell me, let me see.”
“Ah, it’s actually just a small software. I named it Weixin.” Hong Dali rubbed his face, his eyes bright like stars. “It’s an application program for smartphones. Simply put, it’s a free application that provides an instant messaging service for smartphones. It needs to support software that quickly sends free voice messages, videos, pictures and texts across the network across communication operators and cross-operating system platforms. It also allows users to search for numbers, people nearby, and such to add friends and follow the public platform, share content with friends, and share what the user sees with friends.”
After Hong Dali finished introducing Weixin, both Hong Weiguo and Lan Ruoxi were stunned!
They did know that Hong Dali often had some good ideas, but they never expected that Hong Dali would think of such a good idea!
Weixin! Just hearing these components that Hong Dali described alone, they knew that this software would definitely occupy the entire Internet and mobile field in Heavenly State with a speed like a wildfire!
A free application for instant messaging service for smartphones!
Support cross-communication operators and cross-operating system platforms to quickly send free voice messages, videos, pictures, and texts over the network!
Free!
Then, with the publicizing strength of the three Internet magnates combined...
Actually, it was no wonder that they were so surprised.
Being a person who came here from his previous life, Hong Dali naturally knew how powerful Weixin was!
In his previous life, Weixin instantly dominated the Internet once it was released!
March 29, 2012, the users exceeded 100 million in 433 days;
September 17, 2012, the users exceeded 200 million;
January 15, 2013, the users reached 300 million;
July 25, 2013, the users in the country exceed 400 million; August 15, the users overseas exceeded 100 million;
In the last quarter of 2013, the monthly number of users reached 355 million...
And this was only the strength of Penguin itself from his previous life.
In this world, Sangle, Turkey Software, Jianbao Plaza, these three Internet magnates had fully allied together. By the time the application was out, if they advertised and publicized it together, the power of Weixin would be extremely terrifying!
“This is a good project, this is excellent!” Hong Weiguo’s eyes shone and fiercely patted Hong Dali on the shoulder. “Little rascal, you are really something! I will start on this immediately when I go back. After it’s done, help me see if it’s OK.”
“Yup, no problem.” Hong Dali vigorously nodded. “At that time, I will see how it is and give some suggestions. Dad, for this program, it’s better to be more simple—don’t make the functions too complicated, hehe.”
“I know.” Hong Weiguo laughed loudly and said, “My little prodigal is really not simple! Then, we shall be returning now!”
He must hurry back and start developing this Weixin immediately. Once it was completed and, allied with Turkey Software, Sangle Search, Jianbao Shopping, they could practically supply half of the components of the Internet! And what was more, the price people would have to pay to use this app was only the cheapest item—data usage!
Looking at his parents hurrying back-view, Hong Dali violently sniffled. “From Dad’s expression, I know that those bastards in the Chamber of Commerce will definitely use me as an excuse to make an issue of something. Humph, by that time, I shall make them not being able to laugh anymore!”
He was just such a person.
He didn’t care about how other people looked down or laughed at him.
But if someone dared to laugh at his friends or family—the consequences would be extremely tragic...
...
2 PM that day, numerous reports regarding Blister Baby appeared on the news.
Turkey Software News window: “Fake man meets a real man, the Eleventh Society is scolded for their lack of effort, and this happened in front of the Young Master!”
Easy Net News: “The prodigal Hong Dali’s charity is the true charity!”
Search Wolf News: “Some so-called welfare institutions are like tools to put on a show for foreigners to see, it’s just for looking good!”
365 Safety Guard: “...”
Phoenix Chinese Network: “...”
People’s New Chinese Network: “...”
Practically all of the web portals in Heavenly State were reporting on this case. Being an outer member of the alliance of the three magnates, So Cool video-sharing website reported in full detail the events that happened, even showing the part where the Eleventh Society people took out a banner themselves—of course, they didn’t show the part where Xiao Bai was taken away by the Zerg Queen.
After this video was released online, it quicked gained the views and debates of many netizens.
Holding Your Hand: “I live in the mountains, my earnings are limited, please understand—donated 100 yuan! Young Master, I will always support you!”
One Carat of Tears: “As I watched the video, my heart felt like it was being cut into pieces and tears covered my face. This child is too pitiful, I hope that Xiao Bai can live healthily and happily. Press on, Xiao Bai, press on! With the Young Master looking after you now, everything will definitely become better!”
Clair DeLune: “Is there a lot of tragic cases in this world? Some things can test how vicious or kind a person is. Kind hearts can be seen everywhere, I hope that Xiao Bai will recover soon. Damn it, I knew that the Eleventh Society wasn’t reliable, they even want to make a show out of this. They are really shameless!”
When You Believe: “My heart feels sad watching this. I hope that in the near future, the development of genetic science will be able to cure him. Xiao Bai, I hope that you will live on strongly! Whatever the case, I will be resisting against the Eleventh Society from now on and not donate them a single cent!”
If It Was Like The First Time We Met: “Correct, what a useless Eleventh Society. It has already been so long, but they didn’t have any news normally. Now when Young Master Dali started doing charity they jumped out to make a show. SPAT! I won’t give them a single cent! Those who agree with me push this post up!”
4 PM that day, just two hours later, for So Cool video-sharing website’s video of this matter, there were already 1,265,848 likes and 3,541 dislikes. The number of times the video was played was 38,824,168. The number of downloads was 4,918,165.
