Chapter 212: Endorsement (Second Update)

However, this was normal, as he had woken up quite early; it was only a little past six in the morning.

Yet, the moment Su Ming walked out of the school gate, a voice full of surprise shouted,

“Look, he’s out!”

Before Su Ming could react, dozens of elites in suits rushed over, surrounding Su Ming in layers.

“You are Su Ming, right?”

“Are you here to pick me up?”

Su Ming looked at the group of people in front of him, very confused.

“No, I am Mr. Hu Feng, a representative from Anko Interstellar Heavy Industry. Mr. Su Ming, our company would like to invite you to endorse our latest mecha. The annual endorsement fee is 10,000,000 federal currency!”

A shrewd man with a small mustache immediately said.

“Don’t listen to him! We are Lomoske Interstellar Heavy Industry, and we offer 20,000,000 federal currency!”

A very short man immediately raised the price.

Mr. Hu Feng immediately became anxious upon hearing this and directly said,

“22,000,000!”

At this moment, other company representatives present also began to bid.

“23,000,000!”

Listening to everyone’s offers, Su Ming finally understood what they were doing and politely declined with a hint of helplessness.

“Sorry, I won’t be endorsing.”

“Oh, it’s very simple! You don’t have to do anything; just take a photo, and the money will be yours!”

Mr. Hu Feng excitedly said to Su Ming.

“No, thank you.”

Su Ming still shook his head and replied.

Mr. Hu Feng and the others, seeing that Su Ming was unwilling to accept the endorsement, spoke with a hint of displeasure.

“Mr. Su Ming, please don’t mind us for saying something unpleasant! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; if you miss this village, you won’t find this shop. If you don’t capitalize on your current popularity to earn another wave, once the hype dies down, no one will even be willing to offer 1,000,000.”

“That’s right, you must seize this opportunity. Who would turn down money?”

The others also tried to persuade him.

In their eyes, Su Ming was a bit too aloof and didn’t understand the benefits of money; they believed he would surely regret it later.

Su Ming calmly said to everyone,

“I appreciate everyone’s kindness, but I truly cannot accept the endorsement because my family also manufactures mechas.”

“Ah? Your family also manufactures mechas? Which corporate group are you from?”

Mr. Hu Feng and the others were stunned and asked one after another.

“Thunder Interstellar Heavy Industry.”

Su Ming could only introduce himself.

“Su Zhentian! Wait, your name is Su Ming, so you are from the Su Family?”

Mr. Hu Feng and the others were also very surprised.

“Yes, Su Zhentian is my grandfather. Excuse me, everyone, please make way; the person coming to pick me up has arrived!”

Su Ming saw Anko walking towards them and then squeezed his way out.

Mr. Hu Feng and the others could only step aside, sighing.

“Alas! The Su Family is about to prosper.”

More than two hours later.

The black hovercar stopped at the entrance of the Su Family villa. As Su Ming opened the car door and stepped out, he saw his Third Uncle, Su Ying, Fourth Uncle, Su Dong, and others all come forward to greet him.

Su Ying and the others greeted Su Ming very warmly.

“Su Ming, you’re back!”

“Are you tired from the journey? Have you had breakfast yet?”

“Thank you, uncles.”

Su Ming was also taken aback, then replied. This return home felt completely different from previous ones. In the past, these uncles were mostly indifferent to him, even ignoring him, but now their enthusiasm was a bit excessive.

“You performed very well in this competition. I didn’t expect you to even win second prize. Father is very happy, and the entire family is proud of you.”

At this moment, Su Dong also said with a beaming smile.

“Thank you for the compliment, Fourth Uncle.”

Su Ming replied politely.

“Su Ming, you are so outstanding; you should guide your own brothers more. Su Bin is in the same grade as you, so you two should interact more when you have time.”

Su Ying quickly said to Su Ming.

“I will when I have time.”

Su Ming replied perfunctorily.

At this moment, Anko respectfully interrupted everyone’s small talk.

“Young Masters, the Old Master is waiting for Young Master Su Ming.”

“Then go quickly; don’t let Father wait too long.”

Su Dong said with a smile.

“Uncles, I’ll go ahead then.”

Su Ming politely said, then followed Anko.

Soon, Su Ming arrived at the study door, which was open.

Through the doorway, Su Ming saw Su Zhentian pacing back and forth in the study with his hands behind his back, constantly sighing.

Watching this scene, Su Ming was a little touched. Being the head of a family was indeed not that easy, and the pressure he bore was also immense.

Just then, Su Zhentian turned around and happened to see Su Ming and Anko at the door. He immediately called out with a smile,

“Su Ming, come, come!”

Su Ming then entered the study, walked up to Su Zhentian, and greeted him.

“Grandfather.”

“Damn it, I was truly shocked. I didn’t expect you to actually win second prize in the league. This is the greatest honor in the Su Family’s history!”

Su Zhentian reached out with great satisfaction and patted Su Ming’s shoulder.

Su Ming immediately felt a burning sensation in his right shoulder. The Old Master’s strength was truly extraordinary. He replied with a smile,

“It was just good luck.”

“Don’t say such things. There’s basically no luck involved in this kind of league. Your grandfather isn’t that foolish.”

Su Zhentian waved his hand and replied.

Su Ming smiled and stopped arguing. In fact, despite Su Zhentian’s fiery temper, he was also the most insightful person in the Su Family when it came to understanding things.

“Let’s have a good drink tonight to celebrate!”

“Okay!”

“Oh, right, you’ve brought such great honor to the family this time, and the family doesn’t have much to reward you with. Didn’t you previously order a Third Generation Mecha at half price? I’ll have the finance department refund you the money. If your mecha breaks down in the future, just return to the family for a new one.”

Su Zhentian said very generously.

“Isn’t that inappropriate?”

Su Ming was also very surprised. 150,000,000 federal currency, and a permanent warranty! This was not a small amount of money, and if Su Bin found out, he might cause a fuss.

“Damn it, what’s inappropriate about it? If anyone has an opinion, tell them to go win a second prize themselves, and I’ll give them a Third Generation Mecha directly!”

Su Zhentian cursed angrily.

“Then thank you, Grandfather.”

Su Ming did not refuse; he needed money now, as he wanted to buy better mechas.

“Oh, there’s one more thing I need to tell you.”

Su Zhentian then said to Su Ming.

“Grandfather, tell me!”

“The Second Generation Mecha · Raider produced by the family needs an endorser, and I was thinking of asking you to help endorse it.”

“Okay, when do we shoot?”

Su Ming agreed without any hesitation.

“Today, actually. Go find Jiang Yu later; he’ll take you for the shoot.”

Su Zhentian said to Su Ming very straightforwardly.

“Alright.”

Su Ming nodded.

At that moment, the stationary phone on the desk rang. Su Zhentian glanced at it, and his brow furrowed slightly.

Seeing this, Su Ming said to Su Zhentian,

“Grandfather, I’ll go out first.”

“Mm!”

Su Zhentian nodded in response.

Su Ming then exited the study, and as he walked downstairs.
