Chapter 74: The Joy of Success and Fame

He posted a picture of the support frame at the Fujialita Aviation Rocket Launch Center, and also wrote: "These two days I have nothing to do, so I'm going abroad with my dad for a stroll to watch the rocket launch show."

Xiao Yunzhe's friends were all stunned; some of the sharper ones, upon seeing his post, recalled the recent online buzz about AT Aviation Technology Company's biggest investor, a wealthy surnamed Xiao from Wuxingguo, and then they all figured it out.

No one expected that the Wuxingguo tycoon being searched by the whole nation would actually be Xiao Yunzhe's father.

Although not 100% certain, everyone guessed it was about right.

Good heavens, after many people guessed this, they were all dumbfounded.

"Young Master Xiao, hurry, let me hug your thick thigh." Good buddy Shi He commented under his post.

"Yunzhe, you're too awesome, take more photos and send them to us."

"Yunzhe, that super wealthy surnamed Xiao from Wuxingguo who's been talked about online as AT's biggest investor—could it really be your dad?" Some people bluntly asked.

"Hehe!" Xiao Yunzhe laughed happily.

Not only comments, but many people also sent him private messages, and he could barely keep up with replying.

After Xiao Ming glanced at him, he had no intention of asking further and went on chatting with his two daughters.

Later, Xiao Ming and his three siblings went to the staff cafeteria of the rocket launch center, where Louis accompanied the Xiao family of four for breakfast.

"Xiao, since you're here, you'll probably be photographed by some reporters."

During breakfast, Louis said: "After the news of the Zihan rocket's launch was released, many media outlets arrived early; now, near the launch point, within the permitted area, over a hundred famous domestic media outlets have gathered, and even hosts from international TV programs are preparing to do a live broadcast here."

"It seems you can't stay low-key anymore."

Louis said while eating, teasingly.

This time, Xiao Ming's high-profile arrival at the rocket launch center surprised Louis; as the biggest investor, XiaoMo had always only given covert behind-the-scenes support.

Apart from a few core personnel, no one knew of Xiao Ming's existence.

Xiao Ming heard this, gave a faint smile, and said nothing.

"Dad, there are so many people." Xiao Yuchun and Xiao Jingrou said, blushing and speaking softly.

In the cafeteria, everyone passing by kept staring at them.

This place is abroad; the Xiao family of four are Wuxingguo citizens, and indeed they look somewhat eye-catching.

Yet everyone's eyes are filled with curiosity and awe.

The big boss Louis dining with them is naturally not an ordinary person.

According to many online reports, many people have guessed as much; presumably, this Wuxingguo citizen is the biggest investor of AT Company being hotly discussed online.

"No problem, you three having birthdays today—more people, more lively." Xiao Ming said with a calm smile.

Afterwards, Xiao Ming asked Louis: "Louis, how are the preparations for the rocket launch?"

"All ready." Louis replied firmly.

"Our mission this time is to help SAA launch the Orbit Star into space; with the Zihan rocket's technology, there will be no problem."

"Then it's settled. Louis, speaking of rockets, you're an expert in this field—could you give the kids a talk?" Seeing the kids as curious as cats, Xiao Ming asked Louis in a questioning tone.

"Sure." Louis readily agreed and began talking to the kids.

"The rocket we're launching this time is an improved version of the Leopard Eight; this rocket, with all the manpower and materials, cost a hundred million yuan in gold, and these days the funds have all come from the super mysterious tycoon, Mr. Xiao Ming..."

After finishing about the rocket, Louis said jokingly: "Therefore, in a sense, saying this congratulatory year your Xiao family made is completely flawless."

Louis imitated Wuxingguo speech, still sounding quite authentic; his phrase "completely flawless" with a foreign accent almost made the kids burst out laughing.

"Actually, I also have a deeply admired idol; this person is smiling—when founding AT Company, many wealthy merchants looked down on me and refused to invest; only Xiao, without hesitation, gave me two billion, allowing me to smoothly establish AT Company; without Xiao's support, AT Company wouldn't be where it is today, nor would it have its current glory."

While saying this, Louis was very earnest and solemn.

In his eyes, a gleam of moved light flickered.

"Louis, you're being too sentimental, overpraising me; actually I only contributed that little money, while you contributed both money and effort, truly pouring all your passion into AT Company."

"Back then, I merely gave you a sketch of a landscape, and you actually realized it."

Saying this, Xiao Ming gave Louis a thumbs-up: "Awesome."

Afterwards, the two bumped fists and smiled.

Throughout this journey, there has been bitterness and the joy of success and fame; they truly understand each other.

"Huh? Who are those people?" At this moment, Xiao Ming inadvertently saw not far away a group in uniform walking toward them; the leader was a man in his fifties from Mi Guo, and judging by the insignia on his shoulder, he should be a major general.

"Security Bureau Major General Marcus, a jerk—ever since I carelessly let slip that AT Company's biggest investor is a Wuxingguo national, this jerk has kept coming to cause trouble."

Upon seeing the approaching people, Louis's face instantly darkened, and he said angrily.

Then he suddenly stood up and walked toward Marcus.

"Marcus, are you the Wuxingguo surnamed Xiao person you mentioned?" Marcus, from the moment he appeared, never took his eyes off Xiao Ming, saying as his gaze arrogantly swept over his few children.

Marcus's unfriendly eyes made Xiao Jingrou and Xiao Yuchun instinctively move closer to Xiao Ming out of fear.

Especially the entourage behind Marcus, each holding a gun, made everyone in the cafeteria retreat to the corners, fearing to draw fire.

Yet Xiao Yunzhe showed no fear at all, openly staring at Marcus, even sneering contemptuously.

"Marcus, your hand is reaching too far, meddling too much." Louis said displeasedly: "AT Aviation Technology Company has done nothing illegal; all procedures are legal; today is the day my company is set to launch its newly developed rocket; please stop causing trouble here."

"Louis, you're too sensitive." Marcus chuckled, his smile clearly ill-intentioned, then he looked at Xiao Ming and said: "How could I not know today is this special day? But I think this person shouldn't appear in such an important occasion."

Ma Kusi laughed hehe and said, his smile obviously unfriendly, then he looked at Xiao Ming and said: "How could I not know about this special day today? But I feel that this person shouldn't appear in such an important occasion."
