He didn’t know how long he had been lying on the ground, but Wang Hao finally managed to get up.
He looked a complete mess, stricken by the lightning, with his hair all curled up!
"Ptui, ptui, ptui!" Wang Hao spat out the dirt in his mouth, picking bits of grass from his hair, and grumbled, "Oh come on, man, I haven’t done anything terribly wrong. I’ve never punched anyone at Nanshan Nursing Home, I haven’t kicked kids at Beihai Kindergarten, nor have I cheated with any girl. Yet here I am, struck by lightning..."
He got up to check his body, "Quick, see if there’s any damage..." He carefully examined himself from head to toe, then moved his arms and kicked his legs, "Not bad, not bad, everything seems quite alright..."
Then it dawned on him, "Hey? Speaking of which, that drug dealer got struck down by lightning before, and here I am unscathed? Is my body that strong now?"
That was Heavenly Thunder, rumored to carry numerous volts of electricity, and his body was already that strong?
"Ah, now that I think about it, it’s actually not too bad," Wang Hao’s mood instantly improved, "He who survives a great disaster may expect great fortune. Time to head back!"
As he casually strolled back, he reached the factory’s entrance and Wang Hao was shocked!
He saw a whole mess of stuff piled up at the factory’s gate, things like jade sculptures, mahogany furniture, some of the factory’s small finished products, Yu Fang’s Jeep and Li Qiang’s Land Rover, and what shocked Wang Hao the most were two Stone Qilin statues each about five meters long at the doorway! The two Stone Qilin statues stood proudly, with fierce expressions, and looking at their size and quality, they were definitely not cheap!
"Master! The Master is back!" Li Huachao was the first to rush over, looking at Wang Hao with even more devotion than Liu Quanyou, "Master, oh Master, you’re truly divine! We were all stunned just now! That power, simply unbeatable! Please, take a seat, Master!" He said, personally wiping a master’s chair with his sleeve before pushing Wang Hao down into it, then clasped his hands together and bowed deeply, "Master, I wouldn’t dare ask to be your disciple, but I wonder if you still have time? We’ve just discussed and decided to contribute fifty thousand each to keep you here, to bless everyone with safety!"
Man, I’m not a monk, you guys are really going overboard!
"Um, Mr. Liu, what’s going on?" Wang Hao looked at Liu Quanyou standing by his side and asked, "What do you mean, you’re asking for my protection?"
"It’s ," Liu Quanyou hurriedly explained, "While you were gone just now, we all discussed it. Everyone thinks that you, as a Master, demonstrate profound strength, and it’s true that you’re the 108th generation descendant of Ghost Valley. But since you’re now our senior consultant, they can’t poach you, so they thought of this mediating solution, to each contribute fifty thousand a month as an offering to you. They don’t expect you to do anything, but hope that in real life-threatening situations, you could lend a hand to everyone."
Liu Quanyou’s explanation made Wang Hao understand right away.
These people made their intentions very clear, usually he wouldn’t need to do anything, just helping out in really tough situations was enough.
This job he could take!
Easy-peasy, no need to run around all day, plus saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda, it’s a virtuous deed!
"That so, okay," Wang Hao nodded immediately, "Since we met today, it must be fate. No problem, in the future if anyone encounters something they really can’t handle, just find me, I can sort it out, no problem at all!"
"Thank you, Master!" Everyone nodded frantically, each one looking incredibly pleased.
Frankly speaking, fifty thousand a month may seem like a lot, but with the Master’s powers, it’s practically like having a second life!
"So it’s settled then," Wang Hao did a quick count. Besides Liu Quanyou, there were six people present, fifty thousand per household; that makes three hundred thousand a month for us, plus Jiangjiang’s salary, making me a five-million-a-year man! Hahaha!
The key here is not only did we make money, they also owe us big time! This is perfect, absolutely perfect!
"Master," Li Huachao saw that Wang Hao agreed and finally he felt relieved. He respectfully said, "These are the physical assets of Li Qiang and the others. After discussions, we’ve decided to distribute them among ourselves. Though it’s not enough, the remainder can be paid back gradually. Just now Li Qiang came up with five million, a million in cash for your company, with the rest divided among us. Whatever is lacking will be covered by these physical assets. You hold the highest position, Master, so please choose first, don’t be polite!"
Li Huachao’s words made Wang Hao feel a bit embarrassed. He’s asking us to choose first, does that mean we can choose anything?
"Oh, look at this, how could I possibly?" Wang Hao said with apparent embarrassment, yet his eyes roamed curiously...
Well, those jade ornaments are pretty useless, no thanks.
Redwood tables and chairs...also quite useless, not my type, no place to put them, no thanks.
Skip the small commodities, just soaps and toothbrush holders, useless.
The two cars, on the other hand, were the best to appraise; just the Land Rover alone could sell for one million five hundred thousand— but since I already have a Maserati CEO, getting another is unnecessary. Selling it would be a pity, and besides, given today’s great luck, surely the best wouldn’t just be something you’d find anywhere, right?
So in the end, Wang Hao set his sights on the pair of stone Qilin.
The pair of Qilin looked quite majestic, and they were massive too. Most importantly, their arrival was worth contemplating...
Today, I had drawn a very lucky lot. Both natural and human calamities had emerged, and according to the usual trait of great luck, it would likely bring some unexpected good fortune.
From what I see here, only this pair of stone Qilin is worth keeping...
"Let’s go with these," Wang Hao pointed at the stone Qilin. "I quite like these, I’ll take them."
"This..." Hearing that Wang Hao wanted these, Li Huachao hesitated. "Master, don’t you want to look again? That Land Rover is actually pretty good. We assessed earlier that it could fetch at least one million five hundred thousand in the used car market. They owe your company three million, the car combined with the earlier one million would cover it, whereas these Qilin. Li Qiang said they were only worth a million when he bought them..."
He was right; the best choice for Wang Hao would undoubtedly be that vehicle, yet Wang Hao decisively shook his head. "Let’s settle for this, this thing might be useful to me in the future."
Since the Master had spoken, everyone else just nodded. "Master is powerful!"
Soon, everyone had divided up the goods. Before leaving, Wang Hao looked towards Li Qiang’s group, took a deep breath and said, "Today everyone was really considerate towards you, choosing only the trivial items. From now on, take care of yourselves, or else I won’t be able to help if calamity strikes again."
Li Qiang was moved to tears. "We will solemnly heed the Master’s teachings!"
Wang Hao waved his hand grandly, his pretentious demeanor skyrocketed: "I must be off!"
