Chapter 353: I Want This Village!

Water Spirit Village, located in the northwest area of Tianjing City, about 40 km or so from Tianjing Mountain. The village was surrounded by mountains and was naturally very scenic, having many historical relics and sites there. This was what Hong Dali wanted—someplace that has a mountain, a river, and a forest—it was the perfect place for Hong Dali to visit and tour around.

The group of them went up the stairs to the big conference room on the ninth floor. Once Hong Dali entered the room, he heard people shouting and cheering. “The Young Master is here!” Then, he saw five male strangers rushing up to him, each carrying a small notebook. “Young Master, you are my idol, please give me your autograph!”

“Huh?” Hong Dali looked at Zhang Cai. “Sister Cai, where are these dudes from?”

Zhang Cai broke out in cold sweat. “They are the celebrities that you asked for. Didn’t you said that you wanted to shoot the show ‘Where Are We Going, Dad’?”

“I see.” Hong Dali looked at the celebrities. “Hehe, you can’t force people to sign autographs like this. You guys are big celebrities, after all. Hurry up and keep your notebook, look at how you are acting!”

“Er…” A male celebrity that looked like he really deserved a beating walked up and cheerfully said, “Greetings, Young Master, you have always been my idol! Your ‘Unexpectedly’ is really good, much better than my skits!”

“Your job is to act in skits?” Hong Dali said in surprise, “Oh my, it’s a pleasure to meet you. How may I address you?”

“My name is Hao Jian! Young Master, you can just call me Hao Jian!” Hao Jian turned around and pulled out a small, cute boy from the group behind. “This is my son, Hao Shuai!”

Hong Dali: “…”

The names of this father and son were really awesome ¹ …

“Oh my, luckily ² . Yup, handsome! Very handsome!” Hong Dali looked at the small cute boy. “His name is very good, he is really handsome no matter which angle you look!”

Then, as if asking for a beating, the small cute boy raised his head and said, “That’s for sure!”

Hong Dali: “…”

These two are definitely blood-related. Not only do they look alike, but their character is also very similar too—the boy really deserves a beating too, just like his father!

Then, a pair of father and daughter came up. The father looked quite handsome, and the daughter was very adorable too. The father said, “Greetings, Young Master. My name is Mo Chenfeng, and I am a singer. This is our first time meeting, please take care of me. This is my daughter, Mo Tingting, she is six years old this year.”

Hm, this singer looks much more composed. Hong Dali cheerfully greeted them. “Hello, hello. Oh my, Tingting is really pretty. Hehe, she is very good looking!”

“Big Bro Dali.” Little Tingting’s whole body was hidden behind Mo Chenfeng, only showing her small head. She blinked her big, black eyes at Hong Dali and softly said, “When are we leaving? I have calculated. If we leave late, we won’t be able to make it in time for lunch.”

Ah, this is also a little foodie!

Hong Dali grinned and said, “Tingting is really smart. Big Bro Dali promises that you will be able to have your lunch!” Hong Dali patted Mo Tingting’s head and looked at another pair of father and son. “How may I address the two of you?” The father was about 1.95 meters tall, the small boy beside him seemed to be quite composed and didn’t seem frightened at all.

“Hello, Young Master. My name is Li Yangfan, I am a basketballer.” After introducing himself, he pushed his son forward. “This is my son, Li Yuncong, he is five this year.”

Li Yuncong smiled towards Hong Dali and said, “Hello, Big Bro Dali. Please take care of me along the way.”

Yo, this is a small grown-up.

Hong Dali hurriedly greeted back. “Hello, Yuncong. Are you afraid of this whole thing?”

Li Yuncong shook his head. “I am not afraid I am very brave.”

The fourth pair was a father and daughter. The father introduced himself, “Hello, my name is Luo Fei, I am a racer.” A small girl was hiding behind him. Luo Fei smiled and said, “This is my daughter, Luo Yu. Yuyu, hurry up and greet Big Bro Dali!”

Luo Yu’s head timidly poked out. “Big Brother… Dali… Hello!” This little lass was quite shy, hiding back behind her father again after saying hello…

“Hello, Yuyu!” Hong Dali hurriedly greeted.

Then, it was the last pair of father and son’s turn. The father was a middle-aged man, about 40 plus years old, and was quite handsome. He stretched out his hand, smiled and said, “Hello, I am Huang Xin, an actor.” Beside him was a small, cute boy. “This is my son, Huang Yiqi. Please guide us along.”

“Ah, hello hello!” Hong Dali shook hands with him and greeted, “Hello, Yiqi!”

“Hello, Big Bro Dali.” This Huang Yiqi was so pretty that he looked like a girl. Acting like a grown-up, he said, “My name is Huang Yiqi. my Dad said that guys look like females lack water, so the Chinese character for the ‘Qi’ in my name is the one with three drops of water!”

This little fellow is quite interesting.

Hong Dali grinned and said, “Yup, good. Yiqi is really sensible, you are amazing.”

“Big Bro Dali.” After everyone present introduced themselves, Little Mo Mo walked up and said, “I am here too. Am I going out with them to play too?”

“Mo Mo, you are here.” Hong Dali smiled and patted him on the head. “That’s right, we are going to a village to play!”

“Yup, OK, I got it!” Mo Mo nodded.

Very quickly, the following crew members were also ready—

Shangguan Susu, the most beautiful make-up artist in the industry. Tang Anqi, a professional reporter. Catherine, a fake reporter. Mu Yuxi, she would be documenting their activities. Tang Anqi, a traveling enthusiast. The nine lackeys, the Young Master’s bodyguard plus laborer.

Now that everyone was present, the crew started moving out.

Of course, to Mo Tingting’s surprise, Hong Dali didn’t choose to travel there by car. Rather, he directly asked Ling Xiaoyi to call six helicopters to bring them there—Hong Dali had been renting helicopters for “I Am a Singer” every stage, he was very familiar with the process of renting them now…

When the helicopter arrived at the outer area of Tianjing Mountain and they were preparing to board the helicopter, the differences were obvious…

Hong Dali and his group adeptly boarded the helicopter, while Mo Mo was feeling quite excited. Hao Shuai shamelessly held Luo Yu’s hand and softly said, “Sister Yu, don’t be afraid, I will protect you!” Luo Yu frightened, said, “O… OK…” Mo Tingting started calculating again. “How long will the helicopters take to reach there…” Li Yuncong just followed his father up the helicopter quietly while Huang Yiqi said to his father, “Dad, the Young Master is really awesome, he can even summon helicopters. I’m going to learn from him and become an awesome person in the future too!” Huang Xin’s head was full of sweat. “Son, you can be envious of him, but there is no need to learn from him…” He was afraid that his son wouldn’t learn other things but only how to be a prodigal…

Traveling in the air was indeed faster than on land—they reached their destination in just a little over an hour.

Northeast of Tianjing City, Water Spirit Village.

After alighting from the helicopter, Hong Dali took in a deep breath and said in satisfaction, “Ah, good, this is the scent of nature! Look at the sky, look at how blue it is! Look at the land, look at how green it is! Look at the air, look at how fresh it is!”

Then, when the others were preparing to express their feelings as well, Hong Dali said, “I want this village! Brouhaha!”

What the heck! I knew that he was waiting for a chance to squander after not having squandered for so long. As expected, once he left Tianjing City, he is getting out of control again!

“Dali!” Tang Muxin said, “Are you serious? Are you really planning to buy this village!?”

Previously, when Hong Dali squandered, they could at least see some prospect in his actions. But this time, if he really bought the village, that would really be squandering for real, there wasn’t any meaning in doing so—look at the surrounding infrastructure, they were all hundreds of years old, even the trees and the millstones were also hundreds of years old…

It was fine to film a TV program in such a poor place, but if he directly bought it over, what could he do with it!?

“Ah, the environment here is very good!” Hong Dali rubbed his nose, grinned and said, “I just want to squander. Let’s go, we shall go and visit the village chief first.”

The commotion here had already attracted the attention of the villagers. The village chief was already waiting at the village entrance with his cadre. Once he saw Hong Dali and his group, he hurriedly walked up and greeted him, “You must be Young Master Dali, right? We have been waiting for quite a while already. Please, come in!”

“Yup, not bad. Reward!” Hong Dali grinned and walked in. His lackey walked up and started counting the money—from the village chief to his cadre to the villagers, and then to the children in the village, everyone received 1,000 yuan!

There were about 1,000 plus people in the village—1,000 per person, he had squandered a million or so yuan in just the blink of an eye…

It was always said the money could even make the ghost work for you. The entire village erupted in cheers. This was really a very poor place, many villagers were only earning about 2,000 a year. Now, they received money that they might not be able to earn even in half a year, just like that. They all cooperated as best as they could, their happiness so great that their mouths could barely close. Some villagers even wanted to introduce their daughters to Hong Dali…

When they reached the village chief’s office, Hong Dali looked left and right. This was a small stone house that looked like it had a few hundred years of history in it. It looked really ancient. Hong Dali found a stool and casually sat down. Then, he smiled and said, “Village chief, I’m sure you are aware of why we are here? Is there any problems?”

What problem could there be when he had given them so much money? The village chief shook his head vigorously. “There’s no problem! Definitely no problem! Young Master Dali, just tell us if you need anything. We promise that we will fulfill it for you!”

“That’s good, that’s good.” Hong Dali beamed with delight. “The most important thing is to ensure the safety of the children. As for the rest, there’s nothing much. Then, let’s start.”

This “Where Are We Going, Dad” was actually quite simple to shoot. It was just about the trifle matters of daily life. It was better to shoot it as naturally as possible. What they wanted was the sincere relationships between the parents and their children. The more real it was, the more successful the shooting would be.

Therefore, Shangguan Susu just gave them a simple make-up and the shooting started.

Because it was the first stage, progress was quite simple.

The five groups of guests first drew lots to choose their housing, then the five children received their missions to prepare dinner. Mo Mo brought Huang Yiqi and Hao Shuai to search for a big wok while Mo Tingting, Luo Yu, and Li Yuncong were in charge of gathering the ingredients.

As they got busy, Hong Dali wasn’t loitering around either. “Village chief, is the village for sale? I quite like this place, why don’t I buy it over. What do you think?”
