257: Chapter 257: Toasting (Second Update) 257: Chapter 257: Toasting (Second Update) Su Mo glanced at Ye Jing, always finding him a peculiar man. He wasn’t like the usual rich kids, lacking that haughtiness and incredibly smooth, just like a slick old-businessman. At that moment, Su Mo’s gaze shifted toward Tang Zhi, who was already cozying up to Xiao Jie with a glass of wine, gazing at him with affection, her face blooming like a peach blossom. She had deliberately pulled down the floral collar of her dress, exposing a generous view of her cleavage, nearly writing the word “free” on her forehead. Xiao Jie, however, responded politely, clinking his glass with Tang Zhi, his gaze never wandering inappropriately. The others at the event only smiled at this scene, understanding the situation but choosing not to comment. There were many who aspired to rise in rank these days, but alas, not everyone was aware of their own limits. At this time, Xiao En asked Ye Xue out of curiosity, “Ye Xue, what’s your main focus now?” “I’m mainly engaged in light processing, and I’m also developing leisurely within Star Ring.” Qian Chengxue explained indifferently. “Real industry is good. That old Liu is now inside the Chamber of Commerce. If you encounter any difficulties, feel free to seek him out, right, old Liu?” The man named old Liu responded with a hearty chuckle. “Definitely no problem. By the way, Xiao En, I heard you’re now working as a venture capital manager at a large fund. Shouldn’t you ask Ye Xue if she needs financing?” “Are you being silly? Would Ye Xue need my money? Not to mention that her family owns Dawn Group, and she herself is quite wealthy. Just one word from Mr. Xiao could easily surpass what I can offer.” Sёarch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. “Haha, you’ve got a point.” “Alright, no more jokes. Ye Xue, we haven’t seen each other in a long time. Let’s have a drink together.” Xiao En picked up his glass to toast with Ye Xue. “Sorry, I never drink alcohol. I’ll just substitute with juice,” Ye Xue said. Ye Xue raised her juice glass to clink with Xiao En. Xiao Jie came over at this moment, smiling at everyone, “Brothers and sisters, I know you all are doing very well. But no matter how well you’re doing, don’t forget to look after Ye Xue. I’ll thank you all in advance.” “Yo, Mr. Xiao, there’s no need to be so formal. We all understand…” “Exactly, not to mention Ye Xue herself has a lot of clout. Plus, with your support, things that can be done will surely be done, and even those that can’t, we’ll find a way.” “Thank you so much!” Xiao Jie sincerely thanked them. However, Qian Chengxue stood to the side with a distinctly cold look in her eyes, not uttering a word to express her position. “Why thank us? We might need your help first. I hear, Mr. Xiao, that not only have you made a fortune, but you’ve also made your mark in Star Ring Game.” Xiao En, with a high EQ, joined in the conversation. “It’s nothing much. Do you all play Star Ring too?” “How could we not? Just grab a random person on the street and ask; out of ten, nine will be playing. The only problem is that the game has become too chaotic and messy.” “You’re right about that. It’s really chaotic. Let me tell you something. I heard that Sky Dragon Guild recently clashed with Freedom Victory Guild, Heavenly Light Guild, Noble Grace Association, and so on, in a certain region. The battle was so intense that both sides deployed millions of troops.” “Really? Who won?” “To be honest, neither side gained a clear advantage. But if we really have to say who won, it was probably those guys. After all, they had too many guilds joining forces, so their losses were slightly less.” “Isn’t that just bullying with numbers? Can’t we gather people too?” “Gather what? The Violent Bear Guild from E country is clashing with Mythical Guild from the O region; I’ve heard they’re also bruised and bloodied from the fight.” “I see. That explains why Wet God Guild has been so active lately. It’s like when the mountain lacks tigers, monkeys proclaim themselves kings.” “Those guys, they dare to make a fuss only because of the current situation.” … The entire banquet was suffused with joy and harmony. Just then, Lin Zinuo’s cell phone suddenly vibrated. She took it out and answered the call. “Hello.” … Upon hearing the phone, Lin Zinuo suddenly showed a trace of panic. She hurriedly got up and turned to leave! Zhao Han saw this and quickly followed her out. Su Mo was also confused. He stood up and prepared to follow to see what was happening. However, at that moment, Ye Wuheng came over with a glass of wine, effectively blocking Su Mo’s way. “Su Mo, I’ve long heard of your great reputation. It’s a rare opportunity to meet you today, let’s have a drink together!” Su Mo frowned as well, knowing that Ye Wuheng wasn’t someone easy to deal with. What did he want with him at this moment? It probably wasn’t as simple as just having a drink. However, Su Mo had become somewhat more emotionally intelligent and wasn’t as difficult to talk to as before. He didn’t embarrass Ye Wuheng. Instead, he raised his glass, clinked it with Ye Wuheng’s, and downed it in one go. “Thank you.” After drinking, Su Mo put down his glass and was just about to leave. But Ye Wuheng held onto Su Mo, engaging him in an enthusiastic conversation. “It’s really just like the rumors, even your way of drinking is so crisp and decisive, come, drink a few more.” In fact, Ye Wuheng had been interested in Su Mo for a long time. As the saying goes, ‘A thousand pieces of gold are easy to obtain, but a great general is hard to find.’ Today was a good opportunity to get close to Su Mo, and he might even get a chance to poach him later. Qian Chengxue saw what Ye Wuheng was doing, took her juice, stood up, and walked over. “Big brother, I’ll have a drink with you. Su Mo isn’t much of a drinker.” “Hehe, alright then.” Seeing Qian Chengxue coming over, Ye Wuheng didn’t press further. He simply smiled slightly, clinked glasses with her, and also downed his drink. After finishing his drink, Ye Wuheng spoke in a gentlemanly manner, “I’m going to toast others now.” After Ye Wuheng had left, Qian Chengxue sat down where Lin Zinuo had been and said to Su Mo in a subdued voice. “Don’t worry, Zhao Han followed her out.” So Su Mo patiently sat down. After a while, Zhao Han came back. She approached Su Mo and Qian Chengxue and whispered. “Sister Xue, Lin Zinuo’s father has been hospitalized. I’ve found a driver to take her there first.” “Which hospital, is it serious?” “It’s at Imperial City Central Hospital. Apparently, it’s just his old ailment acting up, it shouldn’t be anything major.” “I got it.” Qian Chengxue nodded slightly in response. ———————————————————- At the Star Ring, within an office at the Yuechuan Plain base. A man with a beard angrily slammed his water cup onto the floor. The numerous executives present were all trembling with fear, especially the two standing at the front. Those two were none other than the deputy legion commanders Mo Baoke and Jawory, both of whom had just been revived. And the one smashing the cup in fury was the Third Legion Commander of the Wet God Guild, Amocadi. “Are you idiots? How could you let someone steal the third-generation mecha, Slaughter Blade? The people from the Freedom Victory Guild (U.S.) will be arriving soon. What are we supposed to tell them now?” Mo Baoke was also lost for words, knowing he had committed a major blunder.
