Chapter 417 Unexpected Visitor
What he needed to do now was to inspect each refrigeration equipment that left their factory and make sure that they used the parts produced in the three workshops Ding Qianlie designated, according to Ding Qianlie’s order. Besides, he also needed to keep the whole thing a secret.
It was totally beyond his knowledge that food in the freezer would not be frozen while it was kept fresh and that the machine would not make any noise when it worked.
He could foresee that once this technology was applied, it would have a huge impact on the refrigeration equipment industry.
Though Chen Kewen was not outstanding, he was loyal, honest, and reliable. Since he was in charge of the factory, it was impossible to carry out the plan without involving him. Thus, Ding Qianlie directly gave the mission to him.
For the first time, Ding Ning learned of his sister’s powerful methods in leading her subordinates.
At first, she scolded Chen Kewen harshly for resting on his laurels and making Binghai Refrigeration a drag on Longteng Group. Facing the censure, Chen Kewen felt so ashamed that he lowered his head deeply and wanted to take the blame and resign right away. Seeing the scene, even Ding Ning could not help but pity him.
However, Ding Qianlie soon changed her tone. Her words became warm like spring days. She told him that as long as he accomplished what she told him to, he could keep the job until he retired and his annual salary would be doubled. Upon hearing the words, Chen Kewen was so moved and excited that he even wanted to offer his heart to her. He promised her with grateful tears that he would accomplish the mission well.
Ding Qianlie was so adept about leading her subordinates with both punishment and award. Ding Ning guessed that even if someone threatened Chen Kewen by placing a blade against his neck, Chen Kewen would not let out the secret.
Of course, Chen Kewen only knew little about the technology and knew nothing about the core secret. He at most just had some guesses.
“Brother, the exhibition and tender convention of refrigeration equipment will be held tomorrow by the inspection team from the Middle East. Please go with me tomorrow. I know nothing about runes. If by any chance there will be trouble, you can help with it timely.”
Ding Qianlie pleaded Ding Ning with tender eyes, seeing which, Ding Ning did not know how to refuse but agreed with a smile.
After driving Ding Ning home, Ding Qianlie immediately hurried to her company. Several building material traders had been waiting for her early in the morning, so she had to go to her company as soon as possible to discuss business. The project about the old area on f.u.xing Road would not be delayed any longer.
Ding Ning was free once again, but he was not bored. He had many things to do.
He had to work harder to practice Sutra of Cultivating Spirit, Barbarian Physical Exercise Technique, and Heart Sutra of Bodhi.
Especially Barbarian Physical Exercise Technique, he had never practiced it before. After he went home, he immediately stepped into his gym and ordered Uncle Zhang not to let anybody disturb him. He took off all his clothes except his short pants and started to practice Barbarian Physical Exercise Technique for the first time.
The moves seemed easy, however, when Ding Ning tried to make the first punch, he felt what Xiahou felt before.
Each of his muscles, bones, and even cells were mobilized. A mysterious binding force enveloped him, and he had to use all his strength to make the punch.
He felt as if he were trapped in a swamp. The punch was supposed to be overbearing but was actually slow like a taiji fist. However, when Ding Ning punched out, he felt delighted and relieved and could not help but want to roar loudly. Perhaps because his body was much stronger than that of Xiahou after he refined his body as a weapon, he did not feel exhausted until he punched nine times in succession. He lay on the ground and panted heavily like a fish dying of thirst.
What surprised him the most was that a layer of filth oozed out from his trichopores though he had thought that his body was rather pure. The filth was grey, not black, and was not as smelly as that of Xiahou. It seemed that there was still some filth in his body.
Every time after Xiahou practiced the move, he was so exhausted that he had to take a medicated bath or rest several days to recover. However, Ding Ning showed incredible power in recovering. After resting for half an hour, he was energetic again.
He used a Cleaning Rune to clean himself, which saved him much time of taking a shower. Then, refreshed, Ding Ning started his second round of practicing.
He practiced again and again. Though a medicated bath could help him regain his strength quickly, he could take no more than three medicated baths a day; otherwise, the medical effect would acc.u.mulate in his body and harm his body.
Therefore, Ding Ning would not use medical methods unless it was necessary. He relied on himself to recover. After practicing for a long time, Ding Ning found that his power improved a lot and that he could punch faster and faster. Now, he could make the nine moves of the first punch fluently, and the filth oozed out from his body had turned h.o.a.r from grey.
When he thought that he had mastered the first punch perfectly and could start to practice the second punch, the stone man suddenly became hot and showed him a video.
In the video, the land of a primitive continent was shaking violently, and a primitive man who wore an ap.r.o.n of leaves was raising his fist toward a mammoth beast that diving at him.
As the man punched, mountains fall and the earth split. The two-meter high mammoth beast was punched over a hundred meters away and fell on the ground heavily, causing a huge pit on the ground. Covered in blood, the beast seemed unable to survive.
Ding Ning was so shocked that his mouth was wide open. The punch the primitive man made was exactly the first punch of the Barbarian Physical Exercise Technique. Consisting of nine moves, it was as fast as lightning and wind; it was simple, direct, violent, and savage. Yet, it could knock a mammoth beast weighing over one ton a hundred meters away, which demonstrated the terrifying power behind it.
After watching the video, Ding Ning realized how ridiculous he was to think that he had mastered the first punch perfectly. He had not even mastered the elementary parts, and what he had achieved so far was just performing the moves fluently. Only when he could make the nine moves in an instant could he be regarded as successful in mastering the punch.
Thus, Ding Ning started to do the boring practicing again. Punch after punch, he was immersed in the practicing patiently.
Time pa.s.sed quietly without Ding Ning noticing it. When Uncle Zhang braced himself to knock on the door of the gym, Ding Ning panted heavily, cleaned himself with Cleaning Rune, opened the door, and asked, “What’s the matter, Uncle Zhang?”
Since he had told Uncle Zhang not to disturb him unless it was urgent, Uncle Zhang must have something urgent to tell him now.
“Young Master, quickly find a place to hide. A group of foreigners broke in saying they want to see you. They were so savage that they even stopped me from calling the police,” Uncle Zhang said in a hurry.
Ding Ning did not notice that Uncle Zhang had been slapped on the face until then. His face pulled as he snorted and asked, “Where are Camel and others?”
“Camel went out with Second Young Miss, and Xiahou went to the company with Eldest Young Miss. There were only Wasp and Hare at home, and they were beaten and injured as well. I told Chunlan and others to hold these foreign guys off and sneaked upstairs to inform you. Young Master, quickly hide away. I’m worried that they will hurt you,” Uncle Zhang said with an anxious expression.
“Take it easy. I’ll go downstairs to check the situation. They have come to our doors to bully us; how could I hide away?”
Ding Ning was burning with anger, and his eyes glittered sharply. He guessed that these foreign people must be those who had wounded Lu Zhan before. He was suffering from how to find these people before, and did not expect them to be so bold to break into his house, wound Wasp and Hare, and slap Uncle Zhang.
Though Wasp and Hare were once mercenaries, they were not good at fistfight. As one of them was good at shooting, and the other was good at playing computers, it’s natural that they could not beat these foreign people.
What happened was a wake-up call that Shengshi Huating Complex was only heavily guarded against normal people and that in the eyes of those warriors, the security guards were nothing.
Ding Ning did not pay much attention to the security of his house because Xiahou and others were there. However, now, he realized that he should attach importance to the security of his home. After all, Xiahou was not always at home and needed to go out to protect his sister.
It seemed that Ding Ning had to find a way to make Matrix Banners as soon as possible, so that he could set a formation in his house and punish those unexpected visitors the next time if there were.
“No, Young Master, those people were so aggressive. They must have some evil intentions. A wise man does not fight when the odds are against him. So quickly find a place to hide, Young Master.”
Uncle Zhang pulled Ding Ning sincerely and stopped Ding Ning from going downstairs no matter what happened.
Ding Ning was suddenly moved by him. Though Uncle Zhang was an inflexible man who was abnormally strict with etiquette, he was a dutiful housekeeper who thought for his master.
Ding Ning patted Uncle Zhang’s hands and comforted him. “Don’t worry about me, Uncle Zhang. I’ll be fine. I have to face them sooner or later. Moreover, if I don’t go downstairs, who to help Chunlan? Since these people dared to fight, they may also do some immoral things.”
“This…”
It seemed that Uncle Zhang had not expected Ding Ning, as a n.o.ble master, to be so thoughtful about his servants. Ding Ning was so different from those masters who Uncle Zhang served in Ouzhou as those rich people did not treat them as human beings at all. Uncle Zhang was so moved that he almost burst into tears. Just when he was about to persuade Ding Ning again, Ding Ning had released his hand and strode downstairs.
In the hall on the first floor, Chunlan, Xiahe, Qiuju, Dongmei, Chunguang, Xiayu, Qiufeng, Dongxue, Chuntian, Xiatian, Qiutian, and Dongtian, the twelve maids who suffered from their funny names, looked at a group of well-built black, white, and yellow men in horror. When those men smiled evilly, the maids immediately trembled and hugged each other.
In the middle of the couch sat a man with white hair, blue eyes, and a Roman nose. The man seemed in his fifties and was burly. One leg over the other, he took out a box of cigars expressionlessly and held one cigar between his lips.
Seeing this, a fat man who seemed to come from Shenzhou and was in his fifties immediately took out a lighter in a flattering way. He then walked forward and bowed to lit the cigar for the man.
“Mr. Huang, are you sure that Ding Ning is at home?”
The white-haired man puffed out a mouthful of smoke and asked in fluent Shenzhou language.
“My dear Mr. Roberts, I’m he is at home. My men had been watching his door all this day. After he came back from outside this morning, he didn’t go out even once.”
The fat man, Mr. Huang, sat on the beside couch with only one b.u.t.tock, and said to the white-haired man complacently like a dog seeking praise from its master.
“Alright. If it were not for you, Mr. Huang, we wouldn’t have been able to find him. As long as we can get the formula and patent of the Rice Bean Oral Solution as we wanted, you will become the sole agency of Mecab Pharmaceutical Group in Asia,” Roberts said in English and a proud tone as if the formula of Rice Bean Oral Solution were already the apple in his hand.
“Thank you, Mr. Roberts. It’s my, Huang Shukang’s, greatest pleasure to serve you.”
Huang Shukang was so overjoyed that his eyes were narrowed into a line as he smiled. He replied in English, “By the way, Mr. Roberts, why are you so sure that the Rice Bean Oral Solution will past the clinical test?”
“Well, Mecab is a pharmaceutical group. We have noticed all the news about antibiotic all over the world. As far as I know, Rice Bean Oral Solution has pa.s.sed the clinical test of the first stage. All the subjects that have been injected with pathogens recovered their health under the help of Rice Bean Oral Solution, and they suffered no side effects.
