Omnipotent Husband System

Chapter 127: Laying Foundation.

Hao Ren served the meal and was about to call Han Lingshi when the lady came over on her own. He served her the food as he said, "I will be going to the Meridian City for an event, would you like to come along?"

Han Lingshi shook her head and said, "I will need to look after the Shun family clean up. I do not trust Young Master Ye that much."

Hao Ren nodded and said, "If you need any help you can ask for Xiao Mei's help. The money she got from the Red Banner accounts have been used for the foundation matters mostly, but it has been used to provide Xiao Mei with a bigger brain."

Xiao Mei chimed in, "Xiao Mei is now capable of performing 3 quintillion FLOPS. I am now the most powerful computer system in the world. Well, after assembling the parts I ordered."

Hao Ren and Han Lingshi smiled a bit, and the young man said, "I should head over to the office and see about the progress of the projects. Otherwise, they might forget me."

Han Lingshi nodded and said, "I will be heading over to meet Grandpa Yue to talk about cultivation and martial arts."

Hao Ren looked at her and said, "Lingshi, please do not misunderstand me, I did not mean to hide it from you but I can also cultivate."

Han Lingshi chuckled and said, "I know, I can sense it. However, I am curious as to how you learned about it given that your parents hid it."

Hao Ren frowned at the mention of this but then he regained his composure and said, "I came across an old man who beat up a few goons with ease. When I rushed over to help, he taught me some skills. Over time, I observed around me, and learned martial arts.

That eccentric old man recently gave me a cultivation sutra to practice, but he told me to be careful and conceal it cause there are forces in the world that can come after us."

Han Lingshi nodded, she did not doubt his explanation, after all, there were people in their families who were hidden cultivators so the chances of Hao Ren coming across an old expert did exist.

The two discussed a little more about the situation and Han Lingshi did not hide it from him, she told him that Hao Mei was the one to give her the technique, and she also mentioned DEHB so that Hao Ren could be alert as he practiced.

Hao Ren frowned, and commented, "To think that she would not tell me about anything like this is a bit hurtful, but integrating you in all this means they understand your importance to me."

Han Lingshi shook her head gently as she said, "Does not matter what they think, at least, not at the moment."

Hao Ren smiled bitterly, and said, "I will go and get changed."

Han Lingshi watched him go in but she did not say anything. She thought it was insensitive of her to mention Hao Mei before him, but the truth was the truth.

After half an hour, Hao Ren came out of the dressing room with a black shirt and silver pants on his lower body. Han Lingshi saw him fastening his watch and said, "Ren, should we get you another watch?"

The young man asked, "Why?"

Han Lingshi remarked, "Aren't you bored by this watch? You are a multi millionaire, get a few more watches."

Hao Ren chuckled and said, "My wife is a billionaire, I only eat soft rice."

The two laughed together before Hao Ren left the house. When he reached the parking lot, he found Heath waiting for him.

Hao Ren asked, "Did Lingshi tell you to come over?"

Heath nodded and pulled open the door of the sedan as he said, "Madam said that you are not too well, so it was better for me to drive you."

Hao Ren nodded, he sat in the car while texting Han Lingshi a thanks for her consideration. He liked how Han Lingshi was simply too good of a human at times. She would note every little detail concerning the people she cared about, and Hao Ren's state of mind, which he was trying to hide, could not escape her eyes.

The car drove through the traffic, and the young man decided to meditate to not dwell on the negative emotions in his mind, he did not wish to face the situation so closely. Hao Ren regulated his breath as the vehicle moved, he lost the sense of time, and only woke up when Heath said, "Young Master, we are here."

Hao Ren nodded and got out of the vehicle. As he entered the building he nodded to the guards who saluted him, and asked the lady on the reception, "June, can you ring Miss Carter for me?"

June greeted him with a smile and said, "Yes sir, right away."

Hao Ren left the reception lobby and came to the top floor and took his chair. The room was minimalist and spacious. He sighed as he swiveled his chair from left to right, he asked, 'System, it has been quite sometime since I have claimed my 'Feed the wife' and 'Daily task' rewards.'

*Ding: Host, do you wish to withdraw the rewards?*

Hao Ren nodded and confirmed the answer for the question.

*Ding: Host, you have gained a fist technique, Fundamental Boxing. This skill has countless variations and can evolve endlessly. If you manage to cultivate it to the mastery realm, you would be able to figure out the weakness through the skills of your enemies.*

Hao Ren took a deep breath and questioned, 'So, you mean to say that I will face a lot of enemies in the future?'

*Ding: Host, the path of power has many obstacles, and every obstacle is an enemy.*

Hao Ren could not help but lament about how the system was so poetic yet vague at the same time. Just when he was about to explore the skill, the door of his cabin was knocked, and he said, "Come in."

Lynn Carter pushed open the door and came inside. Hao Ren gestured for her to sit down as he asked, "Can you tell me what is the status of the redevelopment application?"

Lynn replied, "The central ministry has cleared us to buy the land but they want us to guarantee that we will keep the natural effects of our work in mind."

Hao Ren nodded with a smile and asked, "What about the purchase?"

Lynn Carter replied with a smile, "The negotiations have been completed and we will be signing the agreement in the evening."

The young man smiled and replied, "It is a very good news. Now we can finally lay down a foundation for the development of Thunder Technologies."

Lynn Carter nodded and said, "I received the blueprints for the research center and the foundation received a lots of donations as well. In the last few weeks, our sales have picked up as well. I can assure you, President, we would be able to go public very soon."

Hao Ren said, "It would be nice if we can make that happen before the springs."

After a small discussion, Lynn Carter left and Hao Ren said, "Xiao Mei, find me the researchers from the Jade City University."

Xiao Mei got to work and Hao Ren busied himself forgetting about the mess in his family.

...

Han Lingshi arrived at the Yue Mansion, and she sat in the living room waiting for her grandfather to come over. She held a cup of tea and sipped the content lightly. A pair of footsteps made her sit up and when she turned around she found Yue Shenlong walking over.

She asked, "Hmm, weren't you going to stay in the Golden Bloom Town for a bit?"

Yue Shenlong replied, "Something came up, Grandpa wanted me to enlist in the services, and so I did. What happened?"

Han Lingshi did not say anything, but was surprised that Yue Chilong wanted the apple of his eye to venture in the military to get stronger. Yue Chilong came over and asked, "Xiao Ling, is everything okay?"

Han Lingshi nodded and replied, "It is fine, I came here because I wanted to ask you about a few things."

Yue Chilong looked at her and with a slightly surprise expression, he nodded and told her to follow him to his study. They could not talk about such serious issues here. Yue Shenlong wanted to tag along when the old man said, "Xiao Shen, go and practice with Malcolm."

The young man sighed and said, "But I already defeated them."

Yue Chilong replied while climbing the stairs, "I know you have, but this time, it would be a little different, go along."

Han Lingshi watched Yue Shenlong and asked, "He is going to join the military?"

Yue Chilong nodded and said, "Yes, he will, it is the price he would have to pay for being born as my grandson."

Han Lingshi got a bad vibe about this and asked, "What do you mean?"
