Chapter 211: Good News (First Update)

Inside the Thunder Interstellar Heavy Industries Group’s conference room.

Su Zhentian sat at the head of the circular conference table, flanked by two white-haired but spirited old men.

These two were Su Zhentian’s second brother, Su Hailong, and third brother, Su Tianhan, while others like Su Yao and Su Ying occupied the remaining seats.

A quick glance showed that almost all the influential members of the Su Family were gathered here, though everyone’s expression was grim.

At this moment, Su Zhentian spoke to Su Fu in a deep voice.

“Everyone is here, Su Fu, give us an overview of the situation.”

“Understood, sirs. We just received some very bad news. Mining Planet No. HY823, which our group company owns in the Gray Glow Star Sea, has run into problems. It’s said to have been attacked by unknown creatures, and many people died!”

Su Fu stated with a serious expression to everyone.

“How will it be handled?”

Su Hailong asked, frowning.

“Of course, we’ll send people to deal with it, but this will likely affect the revenue from Mining Planet No. HY823 this year.”

Su Zhentian said in a deep voice.

“More bad news. The company’s sales of mid-to-low-end weapons haven’t been good these past two years. And Big Brother, you also transferred a lot of mechas. Now the deficit is so large, what do we do?”

Su Hailong said, tapping the table in frustration. Revenue had already been poor for several years, and now this.

“Damn it, I’ll naturally make up for what I transferred. When have you ever been short-changed?”

Su Zhentian glared at Su Hailong, who immediately shut his mouth.

At this point, Su Tianhan slowly spoke.

“Big Brother, don’t be angry. Second Brother is just anxious. The group has indeed been facing many problems these past few years, and expenses are growing, especially our group’s private army, which consumes a large amount of our profits annually. And it’s not just these issues; my publicity department also has a problem.”

“What problem?”

Su Zhentian asked in a deep voice.

“It’s regarding the promotion of the new Second Generation Mecha · Raider. Our original spokesperson, Li Tianxu, is dissatisfied with his previous compensation and is demanding double!”

Su Tianhan said, clearly distressed.

Su Yao immediately couldn’t sit still and said angrily.

“Double? Why doesn’t he just rob us? That’s not how you raise prices on the spot.”

“Nephew, his fame has grown. And more people are seeking to collaborate with him, so he’s certainly raising prices. Actually, this would normally be fine, but you’ve seen the company’s current financial state.”

Su Tianhan replied with a worried expression.

For a moment, everyone in the conference room fell silent, and the atmosphere became very heavy.

Outside the conference room at this time, a subordinate rushed over. When he reached the conference room door, he was immediately stopped by the guards.

“Stop! Zhao Qun!”

“Don’t stop me, I need to see the old master.”

Zhao Qun said anxiously.

“The old master is having a family meeting; you can’t go in now.”

The guards refused to let Zhao Qun enter.

And just as the two were arguing, Jiang Yu walked over and asked.

“Zhao Qun, what happened?”

Seeing Jiang Yu, Zhao Qun excitedly said to him.

“Mr. Jiang Yu, great news! Young Master Su Ming won second prize in the Three School League! He’s trending now!”

Jiang Yu was also very surprised to hear Zhao Qun’s words. However, he quickly calmed down and said to Zhao Qun.

“Did you see clearly? Are you sure it’s Young Master Su Ming?”

“I saw clearly, my eyes were practically glued to the screen.”

“Alright, I know about this. You can go back now.”

“Okay.”

Zhao Qun quickly responded.

Jiang Yu pondered for a moment, then pushed open the conference room door and walked in.

Immediately, many people in the conference room looked at Jiang Yu, but Jiang Yu ignored them and walked directly to Su Zhentian, whispering in his ear.

Upon hearing Jiang Yu’s words, Su Zhentian slammed the table, his eyes wide, and said.

“What did you say?”

Su Tianhan and the others’ hearts trembled, and they all asked nervously.

“Jiang Yu, what happened?”

“Yeah? Did something big happen again?”

“Everyone, no need to be so nervous. It’s not bad news, but good news. It’s about the Three School League.”

Jiang Yu said with a smile.

“I know about the Three School League. We were watching it before the meeting. But then the live broadcast was interrupted. However, no top experts from our family participated, I remember the only one who participated, Su Bin, was eliminated very early.”

Su Tianhan and the others looked at Jiang Yu with great confusion.

They really couldn’t figure out what the Three School League had to do with them.

“It’s like this, Young Master Su Ming also participated. And he won second prize in the league! He’s probably already trending now!”

Jiang Yu explained with a smile.

“What? Young Master Su Ming won second prize? Are you kidding? Shouldn’t the top three all be students from the higher grades of the inner school? Isn’t he only a first-year? How is that possible?”

“Yeah, are you sure?”

Everyone was stunned. This competition’s prestige was very high. The students leading the teams were all prodigies within the military.

Even the most successful Major Su Rui in the Su Family couldn’t compare, after all, Major Su Rui was about to be promoted to major, but hadn’t been promoted yet!

And even if he were promoted, he still couldn’t compare, given his age. As the eldest grandson of the Su Family, Major Su Rui was quite old and had spent many years in the military.

For Su Ming, a first-year freshman, to win second prize, wouldn’t that mean he surpassed his senior classmates? If this were true, it would mean the Su Family truly had a peerless genius.

Another point, with Su Ming achieving this result, Royal Court Academy would definitely give him special admission to the inner school. His future is limitless!

“It’s true.”

Jiang Yu replied with certainty.

“Haha, this is truly great news. The meeting ends here. Deal with things as they should be dealt with. And that spokesperson, we don’t need him to endorse anymore!”

Su Zhentian made the decision directly!

“Good, congratulations, Big Brother.”

Su Tianhan and the others said with somewhat stiff smiles.

“By the way, Jiang Yu, tell Su Ming to come home.”

Su Zhentian then instructed Jiang Yu.

“Understood!”

Jiang Yu replied respectfully.

That night, Su Ming sat on his bed, texting his mother, Zhao Ning, about his recent situation.

Buzz!

Suddenly, Su Ming’s phone vibrated, and a message popped up.

Su Ming saw it was from Mr. Jiang Yu, so he opened it and took a look.

“Young Master Su Ming, the old master wants you to come home tomorrow morning. A driver will be waiting for you at the school gate.”

“Okay!”

Su Ming replied to Jiang Yu, then said goodnight to his mother and lay down to rest.

The next morning, Su Ming woke up early and walked alone on the road out of school. There were very few students along the way, making it seem a bit deserted.
