Chapter 399: Annual Meeting (Five-in-One)
by SunflowerInside the Su Family Castle.
After finishing dinner, Su Ming returned to his room.
Buzz~
At this moment, his wristband vibrated, and a message popped up.
Su Ming raised his wristband and glanced at it; 120 billion federal currency had arrived. It had to be said that Patriarch Su Feng’s efficiency was indeed high.
Without any hesitation, he immediately transferred it to Xiguang Laboratory.
Instantly, the money in his card was almost depleted, with only a little over 3.4 billion federal currency left.
Su Ming’s heart bled as he watched such a large sum of money being transferred out.
At this moment, a reply message popped up.
“Payment received. Delivery time within one month.”
Su Ming looked down at the message, and the pain in his heart instantly eased a lot. Fortunately, he didn’t have to wait too long.
He exhaled deeply, then walked to the bathroom to wash up and take a bath.
A long time later.
Su Ming walked out of the bathroom in his pajamas.
He lay on the bed, raised his wristband, and opened the Star Cluster Forum to check for the latest updates.
The entire Star Cluster Forum was still very quiet, with no particularly popular posts; the higher-ranked ones were all old posts.
Even the Three School League posts had been pushed up, which seemed to indicate they were being controlled.
Just as Su Ming was about to ignore them, he suddenly thought of something and clicked on the Three School League post.
As a result, in the latest comments, he saw a series of messages.
“This life is unbearable. Thirteenth District is really crazy. Yesterday, a bunch of lunatics, under the guise of protest, went around destroying and robbing. My shop was smashed.”
“The Seventh District isn’t much better. A few days ago, it suffered a large-scale attack by mechanical crawling insects. All the power lines were paralyzed, and they haven’t been repaired yet. I’m relying on stored energy to access the internet.”
“What are you guys talking about? I’m from Di Yan Star’s Donorman Base City. Here, a group of fanatics suddenly appeared from nowhere and started fighting with the garrison. Their weapons and equipment are even better than the garrison’s.”
“Don’t even mention it. Our Mars Star has also been very turbulent recently, with conflicts everywhere. A curfew has been directly implemented; no one is allowed on the streets after 7 PM.”
Su Ming’s eyelids twitched as he read these messages, and he immediately scrolled down.
A long time later, Su Ming finished reading the latest comments, his expression constantly changing.
Many parts of the Federation were experiencing turmoil, and he discovered a problem.
All the turbulent areas were in the lower Sixteen Districts and the other eight major planets. The Three Cities had no problems at all and were very quiet.
However, precisely because of this, it was even more troublesome.
Because those areas were relatively uncontrollable and where the Federation’s power was weaker.
Fortunately, he didn’t see any comments from people in the Thirteenth District, so things there should be fine.
But Su Ming was still a little uneasy, so he raised his wristband and called his mother.
Beep beep!
Soon, the call connected, and Zhao Ning’s joyful voice rang out from the wristband.
“Son, you’re back on Planet Huoxing?”
“Yes, Mother. How have you all been recently?”
“We’re doing well, don’t worry! It’s just that people are being arrested everywhere recently. One of your father’s repair shop employees, a bigmouth, was taken away.”
“Do you need my help?”
“No need, son. We just need to spend some money to smooth things over.”
“That’s good.”
Su Ming felt relieved hearing Zhao Ning say that.
At this moment, his wristband suddenly vibrated, and a message popped up.
Su Ming glanced at it and then said to Zhao Ning,
“Mother, I have something to attend to here. I’ll call you back later.”
“Okay, remember to wear more clothes and eat on time, no matter how busy you are.”
“Mm, I’m hanging up.”
Su Ming then hung up the phone.
He clicked on the message and saw that Miss Olisa had sent the quotation and agreement.
Su Ming immediately downloaded them, carefully reviewed the drug prices and agreement, and simultaneously logged into the Star Cluster Forum to search for and compare prices of related drugs.
After a long while, Su Ming finished reading the quotation document.
Olisa’s overall pricing was decent; although not the cheapest, it was very sincere, 30% lower than the market price.
Su Ming pondered for a moment, pressed his wristband, and lay on the bed to rest.
Early the next morning.
After washing up, Su Ming raised his wristband, pulled up the Thirteenth Corps’ communication group, looked at the Legion Commander’s avatar, took a slight breath, and clicked on it to send him a message.
“Legion Commander, are you there? I have something I’d like to report to you in person.”
After sending the message, Su Ming’s nerves were taut as he patiently waited.
About a minute later, a reply popped up.
“Council Tower, 3rd floor.”
“Okay, I’ll be right there.”
Su Ming was slightly surprised when he saw the address. The Legion Commander was actually on the 3rd floor of the Council Tower? Wasn’t that where military merits were reviewed? But he still replied immediately.
Immediately after, Su Ming hastily left.
More than an hour later.
Su Ming drove to the Council Tower.
He got out of the car and walked straight into the building, arriving in the spacious lobby.
The lobby was filled with busy staff, each with a tense expression, not a trace of a smile visible, and the atmosphere felt very heavy.
At this moment, an abrupt shout rang out.
“Su Ming.”
Su Ming was also startled and immediately turned his head to see Lieutenant General Feilong approaching.
“General Feilong!”
Su Ming asked respectfully.
“Su Ming! I didn’t expect to see you here. Long time no see!”
Feilong said with a smile.
“General, didn’t we just meet recently?”
Su Ming replied to Feilong with a smile.
A subtle, unusual glint flashed in Feilong’s eyes, then he smiled and said,
“Did we? Why don’t I remember?”
“Oh, maybe I remembered wrong.”
Su Ming replied with a chuckle.
Feilong raised his hand and heavily patted Su Ming’s shoulder, saying,
“Why did you come here today? Is there something you need?”
“I’m here to see the Legion Commander.”
“Oh, the Legion Commander is on the 3rd floor. You can go up from over there.”
“Okay, then I’ll go first.”
Su Ming replied politely.
“Go ahead.”
Lieutenant General Feilong nodded in reply.
Su Ming saluted Feilong and then turned to leave.
Feilong watched Su Ming’s retreating figure, letting out a slight breath.
A few minutes later.
Ding!
With a sound, the elevator doors opened.
Su Ming stepped out of the elevator and arrived at the third-floor lobby.
As the end of the year approached, many officers specifically rushed back to have their military merits reviewed. The entire lobby was bustling with officers.
The small door for submitting reviews also had a long queue.
And next to the queue, many officers who had received their approval results gathered together, angrily complaining with heartache.
“Beasts! My military merits!”
“Exactly! They cut half of mine at once.”
Su Ming glanced around and then walked towards the small door.
Before he even got close, the officers in line saw Su Ming walking towards the small door and shouted at him,
“Hey, hey, brother, don’t cut in line! You have to queue now!”
“Uh, I’m not here for a review.”
“Ah? If you’re not here for a review, what are you here for?”
Many queuing officers asked in confusion.
“I’m here to find someone.”
Su Ming coughed and replied.
“Holy cow, you know someone inside?”
An officer in line exclaimed in surprise.
At this moment, the surrounding officers who were holding their review results and spitting blood heard this, and each of them, like drowning people seeing hope, swarmed towards Su Ming.
“What are you doing?”
Su Ming was momentarily stunned, seeing so many people rushing towards him.
“Brother, you know someone inside?”
“Could you help us out?”
“Yeah!”
Many officers pleaded.
Due to the excessive number of applicants, the review team inside became even more ruthless, wielding their ‘dragon-slaying blades’ to cut down merits.
At this moment, an old man with a slightly hunched body, wrinkled face, and wearing a black uniform walked over, displeasedly scolding,
“What are you all doing gathered here? This isn’t a vegetable market.”
Seeing the administrator get angry, everyone scattered sheepishly.
Su Ming immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, the old man looked at Su Ming and said in a harsh tone,
“What are you here for? Why aren’t you queuing? What are you doing loitering here?”
“I’m not here to review military merits. I’m here to find someone.”
“Find someone? Who are you looking for?”
“Uh, I’m here to find the Legion Commander.”
“Legion Commander? Who’s your Legion Commander? To come all the way here to find them.”
“Zero.”
Su Ming thought for a moment, then spoke.
“The Chief Reviewer?”
The old man’s eyes widened, and he asked in great surprise.
“Ah? The Chief Reviewer!”
Su Ming’s eyelids also twitched, showing a very surprised expression.
“Follow me.”
The old man immediately led Su Ming towards the small door.
Soon, they entered through the small door and arrived in a simple, spacious review room.
The room was filled with reviewers wearing faceless masks.
When they saw Su Ming enter, they all whispered amongst themselves,
“Who is that person? How can they get in?”
“I know him. Isn’t he Major Su Ming of the Thirteenth Corps? No, he should be Major General Su Ming now.”
“Thirteenth Corps? Then he must be here to see the Chief Reviewer?”
“Yes!”
Su Ming curiously glanced at everyone, then followed the old man further inside.
Soon, they arrived at the entrance of an office inside.
“This is it. I’ll be going now.”
After bringing Su Ming, the old man hurriedly turned and left.
Su Ming took a deep breath, raised his hand, and knocked on the door.
“Enter!”
A cold voice sounded.
Su Ming then opened the door and walked in.
He saw the Purple-haired girl sitting at a black desk, reviewing documents.
Su Ming stepped forward and respectfully saluted.
“Legion Commander.”
The Purple-haired girl put down her pen, looked up at Su Ming, and said in a clear, cold voice,
“What is it?”
“Legion Commander, I’d like to ask, besides the Federation’s unified medications, our corps also procures some drugs on its own, right?”
Su Ming asked with some trepidation.
“That’s right.”
The Purple-haired girl nodded slightly in response.
“Here is a quotation list and agreement from Vox Biological Group. I think it’s quite good. Please take a look, Legion Commander.”
“Send it over.”
“Okay!”
Su Ming quickly sent it to the Purple-haired girl.
The Purple-haired girl received the document, projected it immediately, and then began to review the prices of various drugs.
Time ticked by, second by second.
Su Ming saw that the Purple-haired girl hadn’t spoken for a long time, and he felt increasingly uneasy, so he spoke up,
“Legion Commander, I didn’t receive any kickbacks for this recommendation. I just thought the soldiers might need it.”
At this moment, the Purple-haired girl turned off the projection and replied calmly,
“I know. You don’t need to explain. This is a long-term supply agreement, and not everyone can get this price. I will consider this matter.”
“Okay, I have one more thing.”
Su Ming took a deep breath and said.
“Speak.”
The Purple-haired girl stared at Su Ming and said.
“Legion Commander, I have completed my advanced studies and have been officially promoted to Major General. I wish to apply to the corps for an establishment and to form my own unit.”
Su Ming requested solemnly.
“I approve. From now on, you are officially detached from Major General Vickers’ command and can establish your own unit. However, I can only provide you with standard military funding and equipment. If you want better, you’ll have to find a way yourself.”
The Purple-haired girl’s purple eyes flickered as she formally replied.
Su Ming showed a bitter smile when he heard the Purple-haired girl’s words.
It seemed he would have to find a way to raise money to establish his unit himself. After all, he couldn’t settle for standard configurations.
Normally, stronger Major Generals would have Level 5 Battleships under their command, or at least Level 5 Battleships.
Take Major General Vickers, for example; he originally had the Level 5 Battleship Tsar and two Level 5 Battleships under his command. Of course, those two Level 5 Battleships had already sunk.
But at least he still had one battleship and a complete squadron.
“Is there a problem?”
The Purple-haired girl asked indifferently.
“No problem, but can I draw some personnel from General Vickers’ command?”
Su Ming quickly asked.
“As long as the people you transfer are willing to follow you, there’s no problem.”
The Purple-haired girl readily agreed.
“Thank you, Legion Commander.”
Su Ming breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing this. Fortunately, she didn’t block him on personnel matters.
In that case, the transfer of Rhine and others would be fine. If he was lucky, he might even be able to ‘poach’ the entire Third Squadron.
Su Ming let out a slight sigh of relief; at least one matter was resolved.
At this moment, the Purple-haired girl looked at Su Ming and, seeing that he had no intention of leaving, asked,
“Is there anything else?”
“Legion Commander, this is my military merit review report. Could you please help approve it?”
Su Ming showed an awkward smile and quickly pulled out the military merit review report signed by Vice City Lord Okens.
He hadn’t gone for the review because he was afraid that Okins’s signature wouldn’t be valid and that his merits would be severely cut.
Now that the Legion Commander was right in front of him, and she was also the Chief Reviewer, what better time to bring it out?
The Purple-haired girl took it, glanced at it, signed her name directly, and said coldly to Su Ming,
“Give it to the people outside.”
“Okay, then I’ll take my leave now.”
Su Ming then respectfully exited the office and left.
Soon, Su Ming arrived at the audit room. He quietly asked the busy people:
“Excuse me, who should I give this document to?”
“Give it to me!”
Rodger and the others immediately stepped forward, extremely solicitously.
Su Ming was astonished by their eagerness. Before he could react, Rodger snatched the document from his hand, then coughed and said:
“Then I’ll leave it to you.”
“Don’t worry, we’ll definitely handle it. You can leave now, no need to wait.”
“Oh, I’ll be going then.”
“Take care.”
Roggard and the others all said kindly.
Su Ming bowed to everyone, then left.
A moment later, Su Ming exited the Tower of Judgment and walked down the deserted street.
Suddenly, Su Ming felt a chill on his face, as if something had fallen on it.
He subconsciously reached out and touched it, only to find white snowflakes on his hand.
A look of surprise appeared in Su Ming’s eyes. He then looked up at the sky, where snowflakes, like willow catkins, drifted down leisurely.
Just then, a sweet broadcast voice rang out.
“Dear citizens, it is now 12:00 PM on January 10th, old era 4621. To welcome the approaching New Year, Starlight City has decided to activate the snow system.”
Buzz buzz!
At this moment, Su Ming’s wristband vibrated.
He looked down and saw a mass message from Starlight City pop up.
“Dear citizens, to welcome the approaching New Year and grant the populace a beautiful winter, Starlight City will lift the curfew. We hope all citizens will not believe or spread rumors, and enjoy this wonderful time.”
Accompanying the mass message, many citizens walked out of their homes.
Everyone joyfully reached out, welcoming the falling snowflakes.
“It’s snowing!”
Countless children cheered excitedly.
Starlight City, which had been shrouded in gloom and quite deserted, regained its vitality and became very lively.
Su Ming looked at the gradually bustling street, a smile appearing on his face.
At this moment, his wristband vibrated continuously.
Buzz buzz.
Su Ming unexpectedly raised his wristband and looked, only to see messages popping up one after another.
“Dear Young Master Su Ming, Lei Shen Group will hold its annual group meeting at its headquarters on February 10th, old era 4621. You are cordially invited to attend.”
“Dear Mr. Su Ming, Royal Court Academy will hold its annual meeting at Star Sphere on February 11th, old era 4621. You are cordially invited to attend as a guest.”
“Dear Mr. Su Ming, the Federal Government will hold its annual meeting at the Administrative Building of the Parliament on February 12th, old era 4621. You are cordially invited to attend as a guest.”
Su Ming was a bit surprised looking at these three invitation messages; the timing was truly just right.
At this point, the wristband vibrated again, and a message from Xiguang Laboratory popped up.
“Su Ming, come to Xiguang Laboratory immediately.”
Upon seeing the message, Su Ming immediately turned and left.
—
Xiguang Laboratory · Experiment Building No. 1.
Su Ming rushed to Dr. Blackes’s laboratory.
Dr. Blackes stood in front of the operating console, looking at the huge screen with a fervent expression.
The screen displayed dense analytical data.
Su Ming walked forward and asked, puzzled:
“Dr. Blackes, you were looking for me?”
“Come with me!”
Upon seeing Su Ming, Blacks immediately said to him.
“Uh, okay.”
Su Ming was slightly startled, then responded.
Blacks led Su Ming to a precise, gigantic piece of equipment and directly said:
“Lie down.”
Su Ming lay down blankly.
Click!
One by one, the securing devices activated, clamping Su Ming’s body.
Immediately after, Blacks operated the machine to scan Su Ming’s body, then took out a syringe, pricked it into a blood vessel in his left arm, and drew blood.
Su Ming looked at this series of operations and asked, bewildered:
“Doctor, what are you doing?”
“The plant you sent over has a very special component that can promote gene evolution. I’ve decided to extract your blood to cultivate that plant, and finally mix it with Star Spirit blood to perfect the semi-finished V-type Gene Agent · God’s Forbidden. During this period, don’t go anywhere; just stay in the laboratory, ready for blood draws at any time.”
Dr. Blackes said unceremoniously.
Upon hearing Dr. Blackes’s words, Su Ming was instantly dumbfounded. Wasn’t this treating him like a guinea pig? So he cautiously asked:
“Is this okay?”
“There are problems, but compared to the benefits after success, they’re not worth mentioning!”
A fervent glint appeared in Dr. Blackes’s eyes.
Upon hearing this, Su Ming sighed and lay back down. He shouldn’t have asked more questions.
He reluctantly accepted reality and cooperated well.
A long time later, Su Ming walked out of the medical room. He raised his wristband and sent a message to Rhine, telling Rhine that he wouldn’t be returning to school for a while due to something important.
Buzz~
Soon, Rhine’s reply popped up.
After glancing at it, Su Ming wandered boredly around Xiguang Laboratory.
At this moment, he walked to the training hangar and saw Aris and others ejecting from the training pods.
The staff nearby immediately stepped forward, delivering the prepared nutrient bars.
Aris and the others expressionlessly bit open the nutrient bars and gulped them down.
Su Ming watched this scene and secretly admired them. These people weren’t just training hard; they weren’t even eating meals.
His heart suddenly stirred, thinking of something, and he walked over.
Aris and the others turned their heads to glance at Su Ming, then continued drinking their nutrient bars, their expressions unchanged.
At this moment, Su Ming greeted them with a smile:
“Training?”
“Mm.”
Aris replied indifferently.
“Are you free? There’s something I’d like to ask for your help with.”
Su Ming said with a smile.
“What is it?”
Aris looked up and gazed at Su Ming.
“Can you teach me how to activate the AT Field Barrier and use the biological beam?”
Su Ming humbly asked.
Upon hearing Su Ming’s words, Aris and the others’ faces instantly darkened, and they said angrily:
“Su Ming, are you here to amuse us?”
“Of course not, I’m serious.”
“That day in Wormhole Spacetime, we clearly saw you use the AT Field coat.”
“You misunderstood, Celes activated that. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Celes. I truly don’t know how. And I haven’t undergone systematic training, so I’m not very clear on many biological mecha combat techniques.”
Su Ming explained sincerely.
After listening to Su Ming’s words, Aris and the others’ expressions softened considerably, then they agreed.
“Okay!”
“Thank you.”
Su Ming replied very happily.
“However, since your body hasn’t fully recovered, we’ll teach you using the biological simulation pod.”
Aris said directly.
“No problem.”
Su Ming readily agreed.
—
Twenty-plus days later.
Xiguang Laboratory · Training Hangar.
The biological mecha simulation pod opened.
Su Ming emerged from inside, a joyful smile on his face.
“Success!”
He had not only learned AT Field Barrier and biological beam, but also successfully mastered the usage of the AT Field coat and some operational techniques for biological mechas.
“Don’t be happy too soon. This is just a simulation device, and there’s a big difference from actual combat.”
Aris reminded him with a cold and proud expression.
“It’s okay, this is good enough. Thank you all.”
Su Ming showed an awkward smile, then said gratefully.
After spending these days together, he realized that Aris and the others just had bad personalities, but were actually quite good people.
“You’re welcome.”
Aris replied indifferently.
At this moment, Su Ming’s wristband vibrated, a message popped up, and he looked down at it.
It turned out to be from Su Zhentian, reminding him to come back for the annual meeting that evening.
Su Ming suddenly realized that it was already the 10th. He looked up at Aris and the others and said:
“I have something else to do, so I’ll be leaving first.”
“Mm.”
Aris didn’t say anything either.
After leaving the training area, Su Ming called out:
“Celes!”
Celes’s projection immediately appeared. She tilted her head and asked playfully:
“Why are you calling me? You don’t even play with me.”
“Don’t be silly. Can you tell the Doctor for me that I need to go back to the family for the annual meeting? Also, I have things tomorrow and the day after, so I won’t be back. Just notify me if anything comes up.”
Su Ming instructed Celes.
“Got it.”
Celes replied with a smile.
“Thanks.”
Su Ming replied with a smile.
—
Lei Shen Group Headquarters.
The huge conference room was decorated very festively, with red curtains hanging on the walls on both sides, and a layer of red carpet laid on the conference stage.
At this moment, the vast conference room was very lively. Not only had the company’s senior executives come today, but many Su Family members scattered across the world had also returned.
Everyone exchanged pleasantries and praised each other with smiles on their faces.
“Su Jin, I heard that your business in the Tidal Star Sea is doing very well.”
“Don’t say that, what’s so good about it! That place is dirt poor, nowhere near as wealthy as the Federation.”
“You’re being modest. More than half of the orders signed by your father, Vice Patriarch Su Tianhao, came from there.”
“Haha, it’s not bad! Su Nan, you’re not bad either. Your responsible area is also very lucrative, you must have signed a lot of orders, right?”
“No way, I’m almost starving.”
At this time, Su Zhentian and others sat to the side, with only a few people occasionally coming over to chat, making it very quiet.
Su Yao and the others were in a very low mood, especially when they heard the conversations of others, which made them feel even worse.
Just then, Su Ming walked in through the main entrance of the conference room.
“Su Ming, over here.”
Su Zhentian saw Su Ming coming and waved, saying.
“Okay!”
Su Ming then sat down next to Su Zhentian.
At this moment, Su Ming noticed that Su Yao and the others were all in low spirits, so he asked:
“What’s wrong with you all? Why do you look so down?”
“What else could it be? Our sales performance for Fourth Generation Mecha this year is 0. We’re going to be laughed at again later.”
Su Dong said helplessly.
“What’s the big deal? If we’re at the bottom this year, then we’re at the bottom. We’ll just work hard to catch up next year. Shame can lead to courage!”
Although Su Zhentian felt very frustrated, he showed no signs of dejection.
“Grandfather, you’re right.”
Su Ming said in agreement.
At this moment, the guard at the door shouted loudly:
“Patriarch Su Feng, Old Patriarch Su Mulong have arrived!”
Everyone turned their heads to look.
Su Mulong walked in with his hands behind his back, followed by Su Feng.
“Patriarch, Old Patriarch!”
Along the way, everyone greeted them respectfully.
“Everyone, please take your seats!”
Su Mulong said in a deep voice.
“Yes!”
Many people who were standing and chatting quickly took their seats.
At this moment, Patriarch Su Feng walked to the podium and said with a smile on his face:
“Everyone, please quiet down a bit!”
The noisy scene gradually quieted down.
“It’s a great pleasure for everyone to attend the Lei Shen Group’s annual meeting. Today, I will be responsible for the opening speech. In the past year, thanks to everyone’s efforts, Lei Shen Group has achieved extraordinary accomplishments and has grown stronger. On behalf of Lei Shen Group, I express my sincere gratitude to all of you.”
After Su Feng finished speaking, he bowed to everyone.
Clap clap!
Su Ming and the others applauded enthusiastically.
Su Feng raised his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, then continued:
“Next is the most exciting moment of the year. My father will announce this year’s sales champion and present the highest honor and reward. Now, I invite Old Patriarch Su Mulong to the stage.”
Su Mulong walked onto the podium with his hands behind his back.
Su Feng then stepped down and sat in the first row.
At this time, many executives and Su Family members sitting around the stage began to discuss.
“Who do you think will win the sales champion this year?”
“In previous years, it was always Patriarch Su Feng, but I feel Su Tianhao will win this year.”
“I feel the same way. Su Tianhao’s momentum has been too strong recently.”
Su Tianhao heard everyone’s discussion, a smile on the corner of his mouth, feeling very pleased.
Although Su Feng’s expression remained unchanged, a subtle hint of grimness appeared in his eyes.
Due to the Su Family’s rules, the capable always rise to the top.
Even though he was the Patriarch, if Su Tianhao excelled him in everything, his position as Patriarch would be in danger.
Su Mulong spoke with a booming voice:
“Damn it, I won’t waste any more breath. It was made clear in the previous meeting that at the end of the year, rewards would be distributed based on performance. Now, I’ll announce the final sales results!”
Swish!
A virtual projection appeared, and everyone’s sales results were immediately displayed.
First place: Su Tianhao, sold 18 Royal Thunder.
Second place: Su Feng, sold 16 Royal Thunder.
Third place: Su Yiyang, sold 11 Royal Thunder.
Last place: Su Zhentian: sold 0 Royal Thunder.
With the announcement of the sales data, the scene immediately erupted, everyone discussing excitedly:
“I told you Su Tianhao would win!”
“So impressive, he actually signed 8 more units in the last month!”
“Look, Su Zhentian still has 0 units!”
At this moment, Su Feng looked grimly at Su Tianhao; this guy had actually added 8 more units.
Su Tianhao saw Su Feng looking at him and said with a smile:
“You yield!”
In fact, to ensure a definite win, Su Tianhao even paid out of his own pocket to order a unit under someone else’s name.
“Hmph!”
Su Feng snorted, not saying much more.
At this moment, Su Mulong spoke in a deep voice.
“Quiet, everyone!”
The previously noisy scene immediately fell silent.
“The sales data is all here. The results are obvious. I now officially announce that this year’s sales champion is…”
Su Mulong announced solemnly.
Just then, an abrupt voice rang out.
“Wait!”
Whoosh!
Everyone present was startled and turned their heads to look at the conference room door.
Su Cheng walked in, panting, his face full of smiles.
At this moment, Su Yiyang stood up and said to Su Cheng with a frown.
“Su Cheng, what are you doing? Can’t you see your Grandfather is presenting an award?”
“Father, I know, but you can’t present it yet. I’m still here.”
Su Cheng said excitedly.
At this, Su Yuxuan became displeased and immediately mocked.
“Sixth Uncle, that’s not fair. Could it be that your sales performance is even better than my Grandfather’s?”
The crowd burst into laughter upon hearing Su Yuxuan’s words.
Su Yiyang’s face instantly darkened.
Su Tianhao deliberately put on a stern face and said to Su Yuxuan.
“Yuxuan, how can you speak like that? So disrespectful! Su Cheng is your elder, apologize immediately.”
“Sorry, Sixth Uncle.”
Su Yuxuan said perfunctorily.
“It’s alright.”
Su Cheng wasn’t annoyed at all.
Seeing this, Su Mulong said to Su Cheng.
“Su Cheng, why are you back so late?”
“Grandfather, business was so good that I stayed there a bit longer to collect all the money and materials before coming back.”
Su Cheng said with a smile.
In fact, to prevent his orders from being snatched, Su Cheng hadn’t told the Su Family about signing the orders from beginning to end, and all the collected funds were in his own account.
Everyone was stunned upon hearing Su Cheng’s words and began to whisper amongst themselves.
Seeing this, Su Mulong said to Su Cheng.
“Come up here!”
“Alright.”
Upon hearing Su Mulong’s words, Su Cheng immediately jogged up and stood beside Su Mulong.
“Son of a gun, tell everyone your sales performance.”
Su Mulong said bluntly.
“Alright! Then I won’t be polite. Excluding low-level mechas, I signed 20 units of the Fourth Generation Mecha-Thunder Control alone!”
Su Cheng announced to everyone.
As soon as he said this, the scene exploded. Everyone discussed in shock.
“Did I hear that right?”
“20 units? Doesn’t that completely crush Vice Patriarch Su Tianhao?”
At this moment, Su Tianhao also spoke, his face full of disbelief.
“How is that possible?”
Su Feng was also very surprised, a hint of joy appearing on his face. It didn’t matter who the sales champion was, as long as it wasn’t Su Tianhao.
As for Su Yiyang, he showed an ecstatic expression. His son had made a name for himself, selling 20 units. Wouldn’t he be this year’s sales champion then?
Su Mulong was also stunned. He turned to Su Cheng and said.
“Su Cheng, you’re not joking, are you?”
“Grandfather, how could I joke about this? The money is all in my account, and I haven’t even finished yet.”
Su Cheng said with a chuckle.
“Not finished? What else did you sell?”
Su Mulong asked in shock.
“I also sold a Pseudo-V Generation Mecha – Yu Lei Shen!”
Su Cheng announced proudly to everyone.
As soon as he said this, the entire venue fell silent. Even Su Yiyang was dumbfounded. How did his mediocre son suddenly become so formidable?
Selling so many Fourth Generation Mechas was one thing, but a Pseudo V-generation Mecha too?
Su Tianhao completely lost his composure. This performance was simply a dimensionality reduction attack. He couldn’t understand how he could lose to a junior, and lose so badly at that.
At this moment, Su Feng reacted and praised Su Yiyang.
“Yiyang, Su Cheng has really brought you honor this time.”
“Oh, it’s nothing, nothing.”
Su Yiyang recovered and replied happily.
The crowd came back to their senses and began to discuss.
“Did I hear that right?”
“Su Cheng sold a Pseudo V-generation Mecha?”
“Fake, right? That’s too unbelievable!”
Seeing the commotion below, Su Mulong angrily shouted at the crowd.
“Everyone, quiet down!”
The noisy conference hall immediately fell silent.
Su Mulong scanned the crowd and scolded them impatiently.
“What are you all mumbling about? You don’t work hard yourselves, and then you question others?”
Everyone exchanged glances upon hearing Su Mulong’s words.
Su Mulong took a deep breath, turned to Su Cheng, and said.
“Su Cheng, for how much did you sell the Thunder God?”
“210 billion, the money is in my card!”
Su Cheng said in a joyous mood.
“Good! Well done! With your performance, our Lei Shen Group’s sales this year will definitely surpass Ke Fan Group’s! Haha!”
Su Mulong announced excitedly.
“We’re going to win!”
“That’s great!”
Upon hearing Su Mulong’s words, everyone immediately reacted and applauded enthusiastically.
Clap! Clap!
Su Mulong raised his hand, gesturing for everyone to quiet down, then happily said to Su Cheng.
“Su Cheng, share your experience with everyone.”
“Alright, Grandfather!”
Su Cheng replied with a chuckle.
Everyone’s eyes in the room were focused on Su Cheng.
Su Cheng, beaming with pride, said to the crowd.
“Actually, my ability to sell so many mechas this time was purely due to good luck.”
“Good luck?”
Everyone became even more bewildered upon hearing this.
“Yes, because I was particularly lucky and met Su Ming.”
Su Cheng said with a chuckle.
Su Mulong was also stunned upon hearing Su Cheng’s words, and everyone present turned to look at Su Ming.
At this moment, Su Ming, sitting in the front row, lowered his head, covering his forehead with his hand, a bitter smile on his face.
This time, he was done for. If Su Zhentian and the others found out he helped Su Cheng sign so many orders, while his own family still had zero, they would definitely think he was helping outsiders.
At this moment, Su Cheng also directly and excitedly said to everyone.
“This time, I spent a lot of money to attend the weapon exhibition on the Interstellar Cruiser · Light Weaver, but sales were initially very dismal. However, Su Ming perfectly demonstrated the performance of the Thunder Mecha at the exhibition, shocking all the buyers. Moreover, he even invited Miss Hillis to promote our Lei Shen Group for free, instantly opening up the market for our group. That’s why I signed so many Thunder Mechas! And that Pseudo-V Generation Mecha – Yu Lei Shen was also purchased by Miss Hillis through Su Ming’s introduction! Therefore, my ability to win this sales championship is entirely due to my nephew Su Ming’s help, and I sincerely thank him here!”
In fact, the reason Su Cheng wanted to reveal the inside story was because he was well aware of his own capabilities.
He had luckily won the sales championship this year, but next year’s orders would definitely plummet. Rather than being ridiculed later, it was better to openly reveal the truth.
Anyway, the sales champion award would definitely go to him.
Everyone present was dumbfounded after hearing Su Cheng’s words, unable to utter a single sound.
Seeing no one spoke, Su Cheng awkwardly said to Su Mulong.
“Grandfather, I’m finished.”
Su Mulong was also at a loss for words, not knowing what to say. He had originally thought that his grandson, Su Cheng, had finally matured.
But it turned out that it was all Su Ming’s credit.
His expression changed several times, then he said to the crowd.
“In short, this year’s sales champion is Su Cheng. The Su Family hereby rewards him 30 billion federal currency. As for the second place, Su Tianhao, he is rewarded 20 billion, and the third place, Su Feng, is rewarded 10 billion. This year’s awards ceremony ends here.”
Su Mulong hastily concluded the awards ceremony. With Su Cheng’s disruption, he didn’t know how to continue.
As Su Mulong’s words fell.
Su Yao and the others immediately couldn’t sit still and said to Su Ming.
“Su Ming, why didn’t you bring some business to Grandfather? Our sales this year are zero!”
“Yeah, you can’t just ignore us.”
“I didn’t ignore you! It was really a coincidence, it just happened.”
Su Ming felt like a mute eating bitter coptis, unable to express his suffering.
Su Zhentian also didn’t know what to say.
At this moment, many Su Family descendants and company executives gathered around Su Ming, speaking very eagerly.
“Su Ming, I’m your Seventh Uncle, Su Zhao. If there’s any business next year, please introduce it.”
“Su Ming, you can’t play favorites! You only introduce business to Su Cheng, introduce some to us too.”
Suddenly, Su Ming was surrounded, making it impossible to move.
Su Tianhao watched this scene, his facial muscles twitching uncontrollably.
He had worked hard for a year, and just when he was about to succeed, Su Ming messed everything up.
Su Yiyang liked Su Ming more and more as he watched, and said to Su Feng.
“Su Ming, this child is truly excellent.”
“Indeed, excellent. His future is limitless.”
Su Feng said with a somewhat complex expression.
How wonderful it would be if Su Ming were his own grandson. When he thought of that idiot Su Yuan, he felt even more disheartened. Other people’s grandsons help make money, while his own grandson helps spend money, there’s simply no comparison.
At this moment, Su Mulong walked over. Seeing so many people surrounding Su Ming, he spoke angrily.
“What are you all gathered here for?”
“Nothing, we were just saying hello to Su Ming.”
Everyone replied awkwardly.
“Disperse!”
Su Mulong waved his hand and said.
“Yes.”
Everyone dispersed.
Su Ming breathed a long sigh of relief, finally saved.
Su Mulong looked at Su Ming, not knowing what to say. He felt that his great-grandson was a bit too monstrous.
Not only was he powerful and talented, but he was also good at sales.
“Grandfather?”
Su Ming, seeing Su Mulong staring at him without a word, asked uneasily.
Su Mulong sighed and patted Su Ming’s shoulder.
“You did very well. Try to guide Su Yuan more when you have the chance. If that boy had even one-tenth of your ability, I would be satisfied.”
“Alright, Grandfather, I’m a bit tired. I have to get up early for school tomorrow, so I’ll be going now.”
Su Ming said awkwardly.
He was ready to slip away. If he stayed any longer, it would probably be difficult to leave.
“Go ahead.”
Su Mulong nodded and said.
Seeing this, Su Ming quickly got up and left.
——
The next morning.
Su Ming drove his black supercar towards Royal Court Academy.
At this moment, his wristband vibrated, displaying Rhein’s call. Su Ming tapped it and answered.
“Class monitor, are you here yet?”
“Coming, almost there, stop rushing me.”
Su Ming replied helplessly.
“Hurry up, we’re waiting for you in the atrium.”
Rhein urged impatiently.
“Alright!”
Su Ming hung up the communication after speaking.
Not long after, Su Ming drove to the entrance of Royal Court Academy.
The entire school gate and ground were exceptionally clean, adorned with large red balloons and ribbons, creating a strong festive atmosphere.
At the main entrance, it was very lively, with a huge number of students returning to school.
Su Ming found a parking spot, parked his car, and walked straight into the school.
He walked towards the atrium and soon saw Rhein and the others. He then quickened his pace and walked over, saying.
“I’m here.”
Rhein and the others looked at Su Ming and asked in confusion.
“Class monitor, are you just coming like this?”
“Yeah, what else should I do?”
Su Ming asked, puzzled.
“No, look over there!”
Rhein stretched out his hand and pointed to the open space ahead.
Su Ming turned his head and saw a Third Generation Mecha·Gun Knight descending from the sky.
A gasp of surprise erupted from the surrounding students.
“Uh, this is?”
Su Ming asked in confusion.
“These are all the senior students invited back to school. Look, they’re all driving their mechas back.”
“Class monitor, you should also drive that advanced Fourth Generation Mecha back!”
“Yeah, bring it back. Don’t lose face. Your name is even written on the invitation list over there.”
Rhein and the others all urged him.
“Drive what? My mecha was scrapped a long time ago.”
Su Ming said irritably.
“Ah? Class monitor, your mecha was destroyed?”
Ankajia was stunned upon hearing this.
That cool, advanced Fourth-Generation customized mecha, they had only seen it once, and it was already scrapped.
