At this moment, even Ye Lang and others glanced at Ye Hao. Where did this money come from?

Xie Yihui wasn't as thoughtful as they were; he excitedly said to Ye Hao, "Is this money truly for me?"

Ye Hao nodded and said, "Yes, but please don't buy that watered-down glue for me, or I won't ask you to help me purchase rubber in the future."

"Boss, rest assured, there will be absolutely no added water content; our Xie Family in Hainan's Gangnei Village has integrity beyond reproach," Xie Yihui quickly assured that there would be no additives, just pure three to four-year-old rubber tree latex.

"Alright! I'm counting on you. I'll send someone to pick up the goods when the time comes; hopefully in three days. Can you have them ready?" Ye Hao smiled.

"Sure! No problem, absolutely no problem," Xie Yihui said happily.

"Hehe, since the business is done, shall I host Boss Ye for a meal at a restaurant outside?" Xie Yixiong laughed. He didn't mind that his brother's business succeeded; instead, he congratulated him. He was quite open-minded, unlike some people who can't stand others making money.

"How could we let Ah Xiong treat us? Today, the big brother will take you all to eat out." Xie Yihui said joyfully.

Later, a few people went to the only local eatery in Gangnei Village and had a meal.

Ye Hao didn't brush off their goodwill, and joined them at the eatery for some drinks and laughter.

When leaving, Ye Hao slipped a ten thousand yuan red envelope to Xie Yixiong; naturally, he did this to have Xie Yixiong supervise Xie Yihui, to prevent the rubber from being mixed with water or chemicals.

Xie Yixiong initially refused, but with Ye Hao's insistence, he could only thank Ye Hao and accept the envelope.

After Ye Hao and the others left, Xie Yixiong turned to Xie Yihui and said, "Big brother, this boss is something else!"

"Generous and straightforward, unlike a spoiled brat; he must run a big company in the city," Xie Yihui's impression of Ye Hao was that of a big-time boss who didn't haggle over the price of rubber.

His offer was far beyond market value, even surpassing the price of natural rubber, and he trusted them to harvest good rubber in three days without leaving anyone behind to supervise.

"Such a person is worth befriending, although we might not be able to reach him," Xie Yixiong said, looking in the direction where Ye Hao and others left with endless emotion.

"Do your part well, this boss will definitely bring us benefits," Xie Yihui remained excited.

"Mm! Big brother, as you purchase rubber for Boss Ye, remember not to buy the wrong goods, even if it costs more, adhere to Boss Ye's instructions," Xie Yixiong reminded.

"Of course! Ah Xiong, thank you today; us brothers will have another drink back home." Xie Yihui affectionately pulled Xie Yixiong's hand as they walked home, then drank heartily again.

After entering the sea with Luo Yingxue and others, Ye Hao swam to the back cabin of Submarine No.2 and then climbed inside.

Luo Yingxue, soaking wet, glared at Ye Hao and said, "Every time entering and exiting gets me drenched."

"Wealth Island designed Submarine Dragon not for women to enter, but you're special, so they let you in," Ye Hao glared back at Luo Yingxue.

Subsequently, the group quickly headed toward Lingding Ocean inside Submarine No.2.

At this time, many senior figures from Wealth Island were already waiting to welcome Ye Hao.

Although they were curious about where Xue Zhaolong, Lu Yunsong, and Zhuorong Town had gone, they believed those three would be fine; if something were wrong, Ye Hao would not be joking around, given his emotional nature. If something happened to Xue Zhaolong and the others, Ye Hao wouldn't be in such a good mood.

"The boss is back," Xia Liu said looking at a computer installed on Wealth Island, displaying a small red dot rapidly approaching.

"Finally back, this kid always makes people sweat with worry," Su Chenhong jokingly scolded.

"Haha, the chairman isn't an ordinary person; when faced with challenges, he transforms. Look, the chairman returned safely from Jiepeng; it shows how favored he is by the heavens," Qin Xiweng laughed.

Everyone nodded agreement. During this time, the others at Wealth Island started respecting Qin Xiweng, as in Ye Hao's absence, he kept the large company of Wealth Island swiftly running in all aspects. Working with several allied forces was thriving, and large-scale contracts were being signed more frequently.

It's noteworthy that Qin Xiweng had only been in charge for just over ten days.

The most remarkable mention was Xia Liu's development of weight-loss and height-increasing medicines, which went viral across Southeast Asia. Unfortunately, Wealth Island felt they weren't formidable enough and lacked trustworthy collaboration forces, so they hadn't opened up international sales channels yet.

Although Lin Tian repeatedly proposed offering sales channels to Qin Xiweng, Qin Xiweng knew Ye Hao disliked relying too much on others. Thus, Wealth Island strived to use its own efforts step by step. Resorting to others' channels wasn't the best solution.

"Following a boss like him is our uncle-nephew duo's fortune," Qin Qing said to Qin Xiweng.

"Uncle, thankfully you chose Boss's side, otherwise your life would walk a dark path like theirs," Qin Xiweng said with a smile.

"Yes! But, Xiwen, what's the situation with pressure from the military direction?" Qin Qing asked.

"What else can we do? Just keep it on hold. The boss is a military person; if we refuse too outrightly, it'll awkward for future interactions. But not refusing means it's too costly for us. Our research on stimulating human body medicines mainly targets the military, but they seek this technology to save money; it's tricky!" Qin Xiweng said helplessly.

"Then we can only ask the boss's thoughts," Qin Qing, generally not participating much in business matters, didn't think of a strategy and handed the final decision back to Ye Hao.

Sun Mei, the Innate expert, didn't pay attention to their research matters; he only worried about Ye Hao's safe return and issues with He Hua.

Buzz buzz buzz!

A slow, buzzing sound emerged from the distant seabed; it was the noise made when Submarine No.2 was stopping. If it had stuck exterior adhesive, this sound wouldn't occur.

But since Submarine No.2 hadn't adhered its shell, the sound produced inside the cabin came out.

"It's here, it's here." Zheng Guang, on Wealth Island, walked excitedly to the landing area.

Su Chenhong also came over; they were the highest-ranking individuals on Wealth Island, so standing at the front aroused no objections.

Following behind were Qin Xiweng and Xia Liu Sun Mei. (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to vote recommendation tickets and monthly tickets at Qidian.com. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
