Chapter 6 How the Tang family became rich
It is night time and China is now standing in front of the biggest mansion in Dimmsdale. He rang the doorbell and the sound radiated around. The door was opened and a voice of a girl is heard, saying "Uncle Yao!"
"Trixie Tang. It's been a long time-aru" China replied. "Is your dad here?"
"Of course, Mr. Yao. Come inside." Mr. Tang said, walking towards the door. "Trixie, you could now go to your room now."
"Yes dad." At that moment, Trixie went to the long and winding stairs. The two adults are now seen on the table, both drinking a cup of hot tea each.
"So, how are world affairs?" Mr. Tang asks.
"Well, we, as always, are having a hard time regarding the Spratlys issue. My boss even wants me to terrorize the ASEAN by sending some of my ships in their waters. Even I don't agree with that, but I can't do about it-aru."
"Well…" Mr. Tang gave China some papers.
"These here are the plans for building an aircraft carrier and how to operate one and these here are top-secret files about the F-22 Raptor and the JSF program."
"How did you get that-aru?"
"Simple. I'm a businessman and an investor, of course, a double-agent of the People's Republic of China."
"So, how's business?"
"The president, a.k.a America's boss tries to stimulate the economy from the European market losses and recession. Of course, that concerns me as a business and a stockholder in many markets around the world…"
"Dad, my friends are coming here for a party!" Trixie's voice is heard.
"Of course, my pretty darling! You could use the sound-proof room!" China notices the way Mr. Tang said those words.
"Why are you pampering her? That is so not the Chinese way of raising a child-aru!" China madly said.
"I've got no choice about that…"
"Well, I do have a suggestion: Why don't you go back in China and let her work in a farm-aru?"
"You know I can't do that. She and her mother don't want to leave, even though I tried to do that…"
"This is ridiculous…" China now begins to pound the table "…I have a hard time dealing with westerners during these years and they want me to follow their suits! Before, I was the Middle Kingdom until that foolish Britain destroyed my morale and all the others partitioned me-ahen! Don't you realize how hard it is! I was divided and left to decide on what path I have to follow so I decided to create more business and use my manpower and now I am one of the fastest booming economies in the word while still keeping my culture intact! Even my Chinese frugality spirit lives on every Chinese in every country where they made Chinatowns, and now you are not allowing your daughter to come to China? ARE YOU CRAZY!"
"I know about that. It's hard to convince her, thinking that her world all rest in popularity…"
"Why don't you tell her the harsh truth!? We both know that reality is about to find something out of poverty and scarcity of resources and to use it to the maximum potential! You know why I'm angry because that is not how the Chinese do things-aru!" At that moment, China's phone rang.
"WHAT!"
"Yo, China, I know you have some business to deal with, but we have to plan the cultural dances you have." America said.
"Oh. Well, maybe later-aru."
"Fine. See you at the Blue Moon!" China took his phone down.
"Who's that?" Mr. Tang asks China.
"It's America. We are doing a cultural dance in Trixie's school."
"It's unusual. Why would the UN do that?"
"Remember the Darkness incident?"
"No."
"The Pictonians?"
"That I have…" Suddenly, the doorbell rang.
"I'll get it…" Trixie said, all dressed for the party. They all have a little chat on the door. After a while, they went inside.
"This here is uncle Yao. He came straight from China." Trixie said, introducing her friends to China.
"This is so uncool…" an afro guy said "… Isn't China a source of cheap labor my dad uses?"
"HI-"China was about to bring his wok out but Mr. Tang held him at the shoulder, calming him down.
"Well, China also has a fascinating history-aru. China has a 4000-year existence and has a remarkable history. It is the birth of the Eastern civilization." China begins his cultural talk.
"By the way, my uncle knows a lot about history…" Trixie whispered. China then started telling about his history from the earliest dynasties.
"This is uncool. We came for a party, not a history lesson." Another kid said.
"Well, let's go to the party room. Uncle Yao, could you do me a favor?"
"What-aru?"
"Could you cook for the party?"
"With pleasure!" China then brought out all of his utensils out all at the same time and begins to cook which fascinates everyone.
"Even if he's a historian, he is still cool in cooking." A girl replied. Trixie then leads the group to the sound proof room. China was now seen slicing the onions in the air and made some knife strokes, enough to evenly chop the onions.
"You're still as good in mass production as ever…" Mr. Tang said.
"Of course… HIYAAH!" China then sends the beef to the air and uses wushu to place it unto the dumpling wrappers. After a few minutes, he made Chinese noodles and dumplings enough for the whole party.
"Well, that's enough for now. I have to go now. So, what's your decision?"
"Maybe Trixie has to go to China. I'll try to convince her and my wife."
"I'll prepare the passports. Just say if you're ready-aru." China then left the scene…
Outside of the Tang mansion…
"Finally, I have everything to stop Timmy from falling in love to Trixie!" A voice said. China heard it from the bush and sprang into action, bringing his wok and ladle out. The person immediately reacted and blocked the wok smash using a small knife-like trowel. The person also quickly dodges the incoming ladle coming from the side.
"What in the world is a ninja doing in here-aru?" China said.
"Well, I'm the love ninja, here to destroy anything that interferes my love for a guy named Timmy Turner." At that moment, the ninja brought out a white flag. China read it "I surrender-Germany" and recognized that the handwriting is from Italy.
"Surrendering-aru?" China said.
"Huh, does that what it means?" the ninja asks.
"Why take a flag and not know what it means? First, it means 'I surrender-Germany', and…" China realized that only Italy Veneciano would make those flags.
"Where you got that-aru?"
"Just from a mysterious flag rain. Look, I took this flag because it is written in Japanese and I have some business to do to the kid in this house…"
"If you hurt my citizen, you would go thru me-aru."
"Your citizen?"
"HIYAAH!" China charges again. This time, the mysterious ninja dodged, bounced on the wok, and went to the roof.
"Well, mysterious person, you are a strong opponent. Thanks to you, my plan was thwarted. Until we meet again!" the ninja brought out smoke bombs and vanishes.
"Who is she and why would she want to hurt Trixie-aru?"
