After hearing Xiao Weiguo's words, Feng Guodong could no longer contain his excitement and admiration. He couldn't help but raise his hands and clap them lightly, and he was generous with his praise.
"Young man, you are truly remarkable! To be able to so clearly perceive the situation and skillfully take advantage of it, in this respect alone, you are worthy of being called a dragon among men, a rare talent!"
Don't be fooled by these few simple words. They may seem easy to say, but how many people can truly understand and comprehend the profound truths they contain?
Not only did you understand it, but you were also able to apply it so skillfully and naturally, which is truly admirable!
No wonder that little girl Wanlin looks at you so differently, even willing to take a gamble and invest all her savings to support you.
Faced with such high praise from this highly respected person, Xiao Weiguo, who was usually very calm and composed, couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed at this moment.
He nodded slightly, a humble smile on his face, and said softly.
"Uncle Feng, you flatter me too much. I really don't deserve such praise."
Upon hearing Xiao Weiguo's self-deprecating words, Feng Guodong simply chuckled and said nothing more.
Immediately afterwards, his gaze naturally shifted to Jiao Bai, who had been silently following behind Xiao Weiguo.
Feng Guodong scrutinized the young man from head to toe, but no matter how he examined him, Jiao Bai remained calm and expressionless, as if nothing around him could affect him in the slightest.
Even though he was facing Feng Guodong's invisible, overwhelming pressure, Jiao Bai remained firmly in place, like a tall pine tree, showing no sign of panic or fear.
He stood upright, his expression calm, as if all the pressure around him was nothing more than a gentle breeze.
Jiao Bai nodded, which was a response to Feng Guodong.
Seeing this, Feng Guodong continued to speak.
"This must be Jiao Bai, the legendary number one martial arts master in the world?"
Upon hearing this, both Xiao Weiguo and Jiao Bai were startled.
It should be noted that, in the eyes of outsiders, Jiao Bai was merely an ordinary bodyguard and driver for Xiao Weiguo.
But now even his status as a master has been discovered with such precision.
For a moment, the two couldn't help but ponder to themselves that they had indeed underestimated the power of the nation!
Especially in terms of security, its level of tightness far exceeded their original expectations.
After all, the ability to investigate everything so thoroughly and without leaving any room for error demonstrates the sophistication of their methods.
However, Jiao Bai was never good with words, and he was even more at a loss as to how to deal with this situation.
Just then, Xiao Weiguo, who was standing nearby, quickly took over the conversation with a smile and hurriedly explained.
"Uncle Feng, you're joking. He's just a driver I hire to drive me around."
Although I did learn some martial arts from my master when I was young, I'm far from being the so-called 'number one master,' and I really don't deserve such a title!"
Feng Guodong laughed heartily, his voice loud and infectious, and then said softly.
"I only heard about this by chance. As for whether it's true or not, why don't you have the guts to spar with our security personnel?"
When he said that, he was just trying to make a little joke and didn't expect the other person to take it seriously at all.
However, to his utter surprise, Jiao Bai's eyes suddenly lit up with a bright light after hearing these words.
As a martial artist, he had long heard about just how formidable the combined strength of the imperial guards was in all aspects.
If someone has never even entertained the slightest thought of wanting to challenge him, then he cannot be considered a true martial artist at all!
However, Xiao Weiguo, who was standing to the side, did not think so.
What's there to compete in?
If I accidentally lose, that's fine too.
But if we were to win by sheer luck, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Wouldn't I become the target of everyone's criticism?
The way people were looking at you... just thinking about it makes my hair stand on end and sends chills down my spine!
So, before Jiao Bai could even open his mouth to answer, Xiao Weiguo quickly spoke first.
"Uncle Feng, please don't scare him! This child is a whole year younger than me, and he's quite timid."
Feng Guodong didn't take it seriously; his few words were merely to ease the tense atmosphere between them.
Seeing that Xiao Weiguo was no longer so reserved and was starting to speak more freely, he stopped talking.
"Come on, everyone, please take your seats opposite us!"
With these words, he smiled and warmly welcomed everyone into the spacious and bright hall.
Only now did these visitors truly step inside this magnificent building.
Upon entering the lobby, the first thing that catches the eye is the simple yet grand layout.
The entire space felt exceptionally spacious, giving one a sense of tranquility and joy.
In the center of the hall stood an enormous wooden table, exuding an aura of solemnity and authority, much like the core ruler of this realm.
Scattered around this large table are a few simple yet sophisticated decorations, which perfectly embellish the entire environment, making it more tasteful and stylish.
As soon as Xiao Weiguo entered the hall, his eyes were immediately drawn to a lunchbox placed on the table.
Inside the lunchbox, there was still a little rice and some bits of vegetable scraps and other food residue.
Clearly, shortly before their arrival, the host, Mr. Feng Guodong, was having dinner alone.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Weiguo couldn't help but sigh: It's hard to imagine that someone as powerful and influential as Feng Guodong, a high-ranking official in the inner palace, would have such a simple and ordinary dinner!
Recalling this special historical context, Xiao Weiguo felt a surge of strong admiration deep in his heart.
During those arduous and extraordinary years, every leader of the Dragon Kingdom was devoted to the country and the world, wholeheartedly leading the people of the whole country to forge ahead and strive hard.
It is precisely because of their selfless dedication and unremitting efforts that China has achieved remarkable economic growth in the decades that followed.
It is precisely because of this that China was able to rise to the top and surpass the vast majority of countries in the world in just a few decades, creating its own glorious chapter.
To future generations, these predecessors were all courageous pioneers who carried heavy burdens and forged ahead with great difficulty.
It is precisely because of the efforts of generation after generation that we are qualified to speak out and condemn the powerful.
You have no right to speak to the people of the Dragon Kingdom based on your position of power and influence. The people of the Dragon Kingdom will not listen to such nonsense!
