Chapter 81: Knocking Over the Vinegar Jar

Those attending the celebration meal, besides Louis and Xiao Ming's family of four, were thirteen more people, all core members of Louis's aviation technology team.

In the private room, at the start of the meal, Xiao Ming handed Louis a card with three million US dollars in front of everyone, telling Louis to divide it evenly among them.

This move instantly made that group of core staff overly excited.

Just as they started eating, Louis's phone rang; after answering, he laughed a few times, tapped his phone a few times, and handed it to Xiao Ming.

On the phone, a video was playing.

"Xiao, you've gone viral all over the internet." Louis said with a laugh, his tone carrying a hint of schadenfreude.

"Right now, in Mi Guo, your popularity has far surpassed that; you're the kind of man many women would rack their brains to get."

"You're too popular."

Xiao Yuchun beside him immediately became unhappy upon hearing that, muttering dissatisfiedly: "Those women aren't worthy of getting my father."

Xiao Yuchun's adorable look as she knocked over the vinegar jar made everyone in the private room instantly burst into laughter.

During that, someone else called Louis; after hanging up, Louis patted Xiao Ming's shoulder and joked: "Xiao, someone called me saying they want me to push you out of AT, make you give up your position as AT's biggest shareholder, and I can set the price as I like."

"Setting the price as I like is too tempting; tell me what I need to do to get you out," Louis said jokingly.

Between him and Xiao Ming, it's not just about interests; there's also a friendship of many years, which money can't buy.

This feeling is priceless in both of their hearts.

Xiao Ming listened, amusedly asking: "Who is it?"

"This and that, it's those Jewish people, all of whom have oil gushing from their homes; haven't you been all over the country lately? That oil‑gushing bunch of bastards, jealous, said they want to buy your shares at a high price, and also said the price is up to me, as long as they can replace you." Louis replied with a laugh.

"Father, are those the Jewish people who wear a cloth on their heads and say the world lacks my wealth?" Xiao Jingrou and Xiao Yuchun immediately recalled that period, the short videos that were especially popular on Kuaishou, many of the lines in those skits were very catchy, including this one.

"A cloth on the head, the world lacks my wealth?" Xiao Ming repeated the phrase, then laughed heartily: "Quite catchy, indeed, those Jewish people are quite wealthy."

But they lack the ability and qualifications to buy his AT shares.

"Set the price as you like?" Too bad—the price he sets is something those Jewish people can't afford.

Want to reach out into his territory?

Have you considered the cost?

Xiao Ming smiled nonchalantly and said to Louis: "What's the background of those people? Send me the information later."

Louis, of course, knew what Xiao Ming intended; he nodded with an attitude of watching the show.

He had someone send the information on those Jewish people to Xiao Ming's email.

"Father, you want their information—are you planning to do something?" Xiao Yunzhe asked doubtfully.

Xiao Ming turned to look at Xiao Yunzhe; among his children, Xiao Jingrou and Xiao Yuchun have no interest in business, and he isn't forcing them—let them do what they like.

But Xiao Yunzhe, like him, enjoys business and is quite talented.

He plans to nurture Xiao Yunzhe well.

Seeing his son ask, he set aside what he was doing, looked at his son seriously and said: "Yunzhe, have you heard of Jewish people? What are they best at?"

"I've heard; they say Jewish people are the best at business worldwide."

"Do you know why they're so wealthy?" Xiao Ming asked again.

"Father, they're wealthy just like we Five Star Country Citizens say—having a mine at home, right?" Xiao Yuchun said enthusiastically: "I've heard that Jewish people also have mines at home; lying down, oil can gush from their houses, like pies falling from the sky—you can just bend over and pick up money."

"Hehe." Xiao Ming laughed at his daughter's cute appearance, then replied: "Exactly, that's the situation—they're wealthy because oil can gush from their homes, something everyone knows; this time, those Jewish people are eyeing my AT shares."

"I despise these people's greed, trying to swallow an elephant when they can't even satisfy a snake."

"But there's no help for it—people fear fame, pigs fear getting fat; since I've shown a bit of talent, trouble always comes my way. Since they want to target me, they must pay a price; I will tell them, I, Xiao Ming, am not someone just anyone can deal with."

"Huh?" Upon hearing Xiao Ming's words, Xiao Yunzhe instantly became interested; from the start, when Xiao Ming asked Louis for the information, he had guessed his father might take action.

As it turns out, he wasn't wrong.

"Then Father, what do you plan to do?"

"I will use my overseas influence to strike that group of Jewish people, acquire them, and make them pay more tuition; otherwise they won't know where they went wrong."

"Regardless of success, it will surely scare them stiff; from now on, whenever they see me, they'll have to detour."

Xiao Ming smiled dangerously: "Those eyeing my AT shares—I must reciprocate; as we Five Star Country Citizens say, 'To receive without returning is impolite.' If I don't give them a lesson, they'll keep fixating on my shares; they may not fear me, but they'll be quite annoying."

"Father, awesome!" Xiao Yunzhe exclaimed, feeling even more admiration for Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming's move is also incredibly impressive.

Only someone with Xiao Ming's ability and financial resources can say they'll do it and just do it.

In the days that followed.

Xiao Ming took several children to various places in Mi Guo to have fun.

One reason was to take the children around to broaden their horizons and enjoy the wonderful time of playing together.

The second reason was to seek refuge.

In Wuxingguo, news about Xiao Ming spread all over the internet.

No matter if he opened short‑video apps or Weibo and Baidu, he could see his news everywhere.

After his identity was exposed, netizens have been passionately discussing his wealth every day, talking about his children—all sorts of discussion.

He instantly became the object of admiration for women worldwide and envy for men worldwide.

Some even called him the national father‑in‑law.

Damn national father‑in‑law.

Who dares to covet his precious daughter? That's just wishful thinking.

Xiao Ming scoffed to himself.

After playing with the children for a few days, the kids were quite tired, so they discussed preparing to return to Wuxingguo.

Xiao Ming, wealthy and willful, treats those children like precious gems; how could he bear to let them squeeze onto a public plane with others?
