Destiny Mission of game ‘Star Ring’
Chapter 256 - 256 256 Classmate First Update

256: Chapter 256 Classmate (First Update) 256: Chapter 256 Classmate (First Update) Su Mo and the others soon entered a very spacious and luxurious private room, with a huge dining table that could accommodate a hundred people.

Already seated at the table were many young men and women, all decked out in designer clothes, chatting and laughing together, each exhibiting excellent manners.

At that moment, they saw Xiao Jie and others walk in, and they all stood up to greet them.

“Mr.

Xiao has arrived, we’ve been looking forward to this moment, and finally, we see our host,” someone said.

“Sorry everyone, for holding you up a little bit,” replied Xiao Jie with a chuckle.

“Eh~ Isn’t that Ye Xue?

I hadn’t expected you to be here.

I was wondering why I hadn’t seen Xiao Jie for so long, turns out he went to pick you up,” said a girl dressed in luxurious clothing with a chuckle.

“Xiao En, and everyone else, hello, it’s been a while,” Qian Chengxue greeted the familiar faces in the room with a hint of aloofness.

There were not only people from the Zhang and Wang families but also many of their classmates.

Essentially, they all attended the same college, after all, the circle was just that small.

“Yeah!

It’s been a long time, come and sit down!” the crowd called out, each person very enthusiastic.

Qian Chengxue was no stranger to the gestures of hospitality; she led Su Mo and the rest to take their seats.

Xiao Jie took the seat of honor, signaled discreetly to a waiting server with a small gesture, and the server immediately understood and withdrew to prepare the food.

Xiao En, who had taken the lead in greeting Qian Chengxue, asked Xiao Jie cheerfully.

“Xiao Jie, aren’t you going to introduce everyone present?”

“Of course, I should.

This here is Ye Wuheng, the Deputy General Manager of Dawn Group, and also the elder brother of Ye Xue, the future heir to Dawn Group,” Xiao Jie started by solemnly introducing Ye Wuheng.

“Mr.

Ye, good to see you!”

Everyone stood up to greet him.

“You flatter me, everyone,” Ye Wuheng responded with a smile on his face.

Xiao Jie continued, turning to a slightly frail-looking young man, and said, “This is Zhang Bensheng, the third young master of the Zhang family…”

…

Su Mo listened to the exchanges with utter boredom, unable to muster any interest.

The people seated here were presumably what you’d call the upper echelon.

The only person who intrigued Su Mo was Tang Zhi; she was quite skilled in her approach.

She had managed to climb up the ladder through Ye Jing and was eyeing Xiao Jie the entire time.

Soon, the door to the private room was pushed open, and servers marched in, carrying top-tier delicacies.

In no time, the grand table was laden with hundreds of exquisite dishes.

Various servers also opened bottles of top-quality spirits and wine, pouring for everyone.

Of course, those who didn’t want to drink were offered other beverages, like Qian Chengxue, who directly declined the server’s offer of alcohol.

As the host of the evening, Xiao Jie stood up, raised his glass, and paid his respects to everyone present, “I’m truly thankful for the honor you’ve bestowed upon me, Xiao Jie, by attending tonight’s gathering; I’ll spare you the long expressions of gratitude.

If in the future you ever need me, just say the word!

I’ll certainly do my best.

I’ll drink this glass first as a token of respect!”

Afterward, Xiao Jie drained his glass in one gulp.

The crowd also burst into applause, with Xiao En leading the way, saying, “With these words from Mr.

Xiao, we’re all in luck.

Who doesn’t know how much you’ve risen in standing.”

“Indeed, you are now a top-tier tycoon.”

…

“My fellow classmates and friends, you praise me too highly.

Let’s not speak of such things among us; let’s only speak of friendship!”

Xiao Jie returned the compliment skillfully.

“That’s the spirit, tonight is all about friendship…”

…

The atmosphere at the scene had become even more harmonious.

Su Mo picked up his chopsticks and began to eat.

There weren’t many people here he knew, and even if he did, he couldn’t be bothered to make small talk.

There was no helping it, his circle of life and his environment had formed his utter lack of interest in such matters.

So, he might as well eat.

He tried a few dishes and found that they tasted quite good.

Lin Zinuo, sitting beside him, picked up a piece of silver snowfish with her chopsticks, and said to Su Mo in a friendly manner, “Try this.”

Su Mo gave it a try.

“Not bad.”

Lin Zinuo gave Su Mo an eye roll and said, “What do you mean ‘not bad’?

Just this dish costs tens of thousands.

It’s really extravagant.

This meal, even without counting drinks, is going to cost at least two to three million.

Ah~, it’s really true that comparisons are odious.

I didn’t expect this Xiao Jie to be doing so well now.”

“Was he not doing well before?”

While eating, Su Mo chatted with Lin Zinuo, occasionally interjecting a comment.

“Not exactly ‘not well,’ but he used to be worse off than Sister Xue, a bottom-dweller in his family.

Just like in TV dramas, if you’re not favored, you’re treated like that.

But look at him now, he’s amassed such wealth, gifting luxury cars, issuing Black Diamond Cards, and splurging on this lavish meal.”

Lin Zinuo said with a sense of deep emotion.

“Oh.”

Su Mo continued to focus on his meal.

Seeing that Su Mo had no reaction, Lin Zinuo shot him a disdainful glance.

“I’m telling you all this, and you don’t feel motivated, full of fighting spirit, ready to make something of yourself?”

“Nope, I just want to be a salted fish.”

Su Mo remained completely unmoved.

“I despise you…”,

“No need for that.

Star Ring might be filled with opportunities, but not everyone is capable of reaping such huge benefits from it.

It requires luck that defies the heavens, and more importantly, a cold heart.”

Su Mo’s eyes narrowed as he came to the end of his sentence.

“Makes sense, but what do you mean by the last part?

Are you suggesting Xiao Jie’s money might be a bit dirty?”

“I didn’t say that.”

“Now that you mention it, it does sound plausible.

We’ve been in Star Ring for so long, and even with Sister Xue’s strong abilities, we’re almost at a loss.

Yet this guy is making a killing.

It definitely seems fishy.

Of course, I’m not jealous.

I’ve heard that many major financiers stay in Star Ring despite losses to launder some money…”

Lin Zinuo whispered to Su Mo.

Suddenly, Su Mo gave Lin Zinuo’s foot a subtle kick under the table.

Lin Zinuo promptly caught on and clamped her mouth shut just as Ye Jing approached, holding a glass of wine in hand.

He beamed at Lin Zinuo and Su Mo, “It’s a rare opportunity to meet here.

If you don’t mind, would you honor me by sharing a drink?”

Su Mo and Lin Zinuo both cooperated and clinked glasses with him.

“Of course, no problem.

Ye Jing, I heard you’ve been trading supplies in Star Ring and doing quite well.”

Lin Zinuo emptied her wine glass in one gulp and replied with a smile.

Ye Jing, ever so smooth, said, “Not at all, I’m just scraping by.

Of course, if Sister Zinuo has any Star Ring materials you no longer need, feel free to sell them to me.

You should help me out with my business, right?”

The reason Ye Jing didn’t seek to forge ties with Qian Chengxue was simple: they were relatives, and he understood Qian Chengxue’s temperament better than anyone.

Lin Zinuo’s group mainly handled materials, so if not to get close to her, then who?

Of course, he wasn’t yet aware that Lin Zinuo’s group had gone through reforms.

“If there are any, I will.”

Lin Zinuo responded noncommittally with a smile.

“Then I’ll go toast to Sister Zhao Han, enjoy your meal.”

With that, Ye Jing excused himself with a smile and walked towards Zhao Han.
