167: Chapter 167 What?! I've been sanctioned by the US?!

Courtyard House.

Wang Qian looked at the comments and praise for Xu Hao online, and a faint smile crossed her fair, rosy face.

However, when she saw those comments clamoring to have Xu Hao's babies, the smile on her lips instantly froze.

Her small mouth pouted slightly, and her eyes turned somewhat strange.

She rolled her eyes and glanced secretly at Xu Hao, who was sitting nearby sipping tea. Seeing that his attention was not on her at all, but rather on holding a teacup in one hand and looking at some documents in the other.

Wang Qian breathed a sigh of relief.

Taking advantage of the moment Xu Hao turned a page, Wang Qian teased, "Chairman Xu, you're famous now. Look at the online buzz; it's even hotter than those big celebrities."

Xu Hao was slightly taken aback and put down the documents in his hand. "Oh? Is that so?" He smiled. "But I don't like being a big celebrity."

He still preferred a quiet environment where he could settle down and research technological products.

As for the online commotion, he couldn't say he hated it, but he just had no interest in participating.

Xu Hao knew the current online environment. They would lift you up as high as they could, and once you made a small mistake, they would trample you just as low. When a wall is about to collapse, everyone gives it a push.

Such things happened on the internet from time to time. Instead of wasting so much time building virtual, fake online relationships, it was better to keep his feet on the ground, do some real work, and research more useful technological products.

"Sigh, Chairman Xu, if those internet celebrities who want to be famous heard you say that, they would be furious."

"Others try every possible way to get famous, but you, on the other hand, treat it like discarded shoes."

"And look, so many female fans like you; they all say they want to marry you and give you a chubby baby boy."

"How about it? Are you very happy?"

Wang Qian's eyes curved like crescent moons when she smiled, and her thin lips were pursed in a smile, making her look exceptionally cute and charming.

Hearing her words, Xu Hao suddenly didn't know how to answer. "Uh..." Xu Hao fell silent.

Although he knew Wang Qian was joking with him, why did her words sound so strange? That sour taste seemed like it was about to spill off the screen.

Xu Hao looked up at Wang Qian and found that she had started playing with her phone again. Her bright eyes were exceptionally focused, staring at the screen without blinking.

Her slender fingers slid across the screen, and from time to time, she took a three-finger screenshot. "Hmm? Do people need to take screenshots just to watch online drama?"

Xu Hao was confused, but then he stopped paying attention and refocused his gaze on the documents on the table.

Wang Qian was busy doing 'big things'. She screenshotted and saved all those comments saying they wanted to have Xu Hao's babies. Then, she created a special folder in her photo album. She named the file: Bad Women!

"After we go back, I'll use the company's account to block all these people."

"Hmph!"

Wang Qian thought to herself and snorted coldly. If Xu Hao knew what Wang Qian was doing, he would likely sigh in his heart: "Women, truly terrifying!"

Although Xu Hao didn't pay attention to online affairs, someone else was paying special attention to him. USA.

The news that Dragon Country had officially commissioned the H-20 Strategic Stealth Bomber was soon known to the high-level leaders of The White House. General Arnold received this news from his secretary immediately.

Without a word, he immediately berated Director Joseph. "Director Joseph, you piece of trash, what use are you?"

"Dragon Country has already commissioned the H-20 Strategic Stealth Bomber, so where is your intelligence?"

"Damn it!"

General Arnold's spit flew everywhere, and he wished he could crawl through the phone line to beat Director Joseph up.

Director Joseph sat in his office, his face looking terrible. It wasn't just because he was being furiously scolded by General Arnold, but also because he had learned the news about Dragon Country commissioning the H-20.

He hadn't expected that the news from Dragon Country that had trended last time was actually related to Dragon Country's new generation bomber.

"Fuck! I should have investigated further!"

Director Joseph cursed. General Arnold hadn't hung up the phone yet, and hearing Director Joseph curse at him, he was instantly furious.

"Director Joseph, what nerve you have to dare curse at me?!"

"You're finished, I'm telling you, I will definitely make The White House punish you severely!"

After speaking, without waiting for Director Joseph to explain, he hung up the phone directly. Listening to the busy signal on the phone, Director Joseph was on the verge of tears.

"General Arnold, I wasn't cursing at you..."

Director Joseph wore an expression uglier than crying. But when he thought of his dereliction of duty this time, his face immediately turned ashen. This time, he was afraid he was truly finished.

He hadn't even managed to scout out such important intelligence. However, he couldn't be blamed for this! Dragon Country had hidden it too deeply.

And that Xu Hao and Xu's Heavy Industry! Who could have thought that after just a few months, Xu Hao would lead researchers to create another new high-end military product. And it was an aerial superweapon: 6th Generation Stealth Bomber!

While Director Joseph was angry, he was also extremely shocked. Where on earth did Xu's Heavy Industry pop out from? Why, in just a few short months, had they successively created so many military products?

"Damn, who said Xu's Heavy Industry was just a manufacturer of movie props?" Director Joseph clenched his fist and pounded the table heavily, making a loud bang, causing the documents on the table to shake.

When he first investigated, informants inside Dragon Country told him that Xu's Heavy Industry was just a heavy industry enterprise on the verge of bankruptcy. Later, it collaborated with a sci-fi film company to build movie props specifically for them.

Now, seeing Dragon Country successively commissioning various military products, Director Joseph understood that he had been deceived. The entire USA had been deceived! Xu's Heavy Industry was not a movie prop manufacturer at all; it was clearly a hidden military enterprise of Dragon Country.

Thinking of this, he immediately reported this conjecture and deduction to his superiors. Meanwhile, the high-level officials of The White House held an emergency meeting regarding Dragon Country's official commissioning of the H-20.

During the meeting, the various high-level leaders argued endlessly, accusing each other one after another.

"You people in the military department are all freeloaders. All these years, there has been no progress in corresponding military products; you've just been resting on your laurels. I think the budget has all been spent by you on club girls!"

"Bullshit, and you talk about our military department? You people in the intelligence department and propaganda department are the real bunch of good-for-nothings. In recent years, the USA's public opinion front has gradually been lost, and the intelligence brought back is becoming increasingly useless. You are a bunch of trash."

"And don't laugh, Space Agency, you are also a bunch of idiots. You delay launching new carrier rockets. Now the international community is doubting the USA's aerospace technology, even thinking that the moon landing was faked. You are fully responsible for this!"

"..."

During the meeting, many high-level officials argued until their faces were red. Fortunately, they eventually reached a consensus, which was: Sanction the Dragon Country Xu's Heavy Industry Group and prohibit Xu's Heavy Industry from participating in international trade activities.

At the same time, also sanction Xu Hao himself! Freeze Xu Hao's assets in the USA, and prohibit Xu Hao from entering the USA!

When the news reached Dragon Country, Xu Hao was shocked upon hearing it!

"What? I've been sanctioned by the USA?"

"Is there such a good thing?!"
