Chapter 210: Chapter 210 Joyful News (One More Update)

Thunder Interstellar Heavy Industry Group Conference Room.

Su Zhen Tian sat at the head of the round conference table, flanked by two elderly men with white hair, yet they appeared spirited and alert.

These two were Su Zhen Tian’s younger brothers, Su Halong and Su Tianhan. The other seats were occupied by Su Yao, Su Ying, and others.

A glance around the room revealed that most of the distinguished members of the Su Family were present, though none seemed to be in good spirits.

At that moment, Su Zhen Tian spoke gravely to Su Fu.

"Everyone is here. Su Fu, please give us a brief on the situation."

"Alright, esteemed sirs, we have just received some very bad news. Our company’s Mining Star HY823 in the Gray Luminous Star Sea has encountered an issue. It’s reported to have been attacked by unidentified creatures, and many have died!"

Su Fu said solemnly to everyone.

"How shall we handle this?"

Su Halong furrowed his brow and asked.

"We obviously need to send someone to deal with it, but this will likely affect the profits from Mining Star HY823 for the year."

Su Zhen Tian declared gravely.

"More bad news. The sales of our mid to low-end weapons were already not great these past two years. And big brother, you also transferred several mechas. Now with such a huge deficit, what should we do?"

Su Halong said, clearly dissatisfied as he tapped on the table. The financial earnings had been poor for the past few years, and now this incident had occurred.

"Damn it all, the equipment I transferred, I will naturally replace. When have I ever shortchanged you?"

Su Zhen Tian glared at Su Halong, who promptly shut his mouth.

At this moment, Su Tianhan slowly spoke.

"Big brother, don’t be angry. Second brother is just anxious. The group has indeed been facing many problems these years, and our expenses are growing, especially the private armed forces we have set up, consuming a large portion of our profits every year. Moreover, there are more issues. I’m also having trouble with the department I’m in charge of."

"What problems?"

Su Zhen Tian asked solemnly.

"It’s about the promotion of the new Second Generation Mecha·Raider. Our original spokesman, Li Tianxu, is not satisfied with his previous compensation and is demanding double!"

Su Tianhan said, clearly troubled.

Su Yao suddenly couldn’t sit still, speaking angrily,

"Double? Why doesn’t he just rob us? That’s not how you raise a price."

"Big nephew, his fame has increased. And there are more people looking to collaborate with him, so of course, he will hike his price. Normally, this wouldn’t be such an issue, but given the current financial state of the company, as you all can see."

Su Tianhan replied with a worried look.

For a moment, the entire conference room fell silent, the atmosphere growing incredibly heavy.

Meanwhile, outside the conference room, a subordinate hurried over. As he reached the door, he was immediately stopped by the guards.

"Stop! Zhao Qun!"

"Don’t stop me, I need to see the old master about something important."

Zhao Qun said urgently.

"The old master is holding a family meeting, you can’t go in now."

The security personnel refused to let Zhao Qun in.

During their dispute, Jiang Yu walked over and then asked,

"Zhao Qun, what’s happened?"

When Zhao Qun saw Jiang Yu, he excitedly said,

"Mr. Jiang Yu, it’s wonderful news! Young master Su Ming placed second in the tri-school tournament, and it’s now headline news!"

Jiang Yu was also surprised to hear Zhao Qun’s words, but he quickly composed himself and then said to Zhao Qun,

"Are you sure? You’re certain it’s young master Su Ming?"

"I saw it clearly, I was virtually glued to the screen."

"Alright, I understand now. You can go back."

"Okay."

Zhao Qun hurriedly complied.

Jiang Yu pondered for a while, then pushed open the door of the conference room and entered.

As soon as he entered, many eyes in the room fell on Jiang Yu, but he ignored them and walked straight to Su Zhen Tian, whispering in his ear.

Upon hearing Jiang Yu’s words, Su Zhen Tian slammed his hand on the table, his eyes wide open as he exclaimed,

"What did you say?"

Su Tianhan and the others felt a sudden jolt in their hearts, asking anxiously,

"Jiang Yu, what happened?"

"Really? Is there another big issue again?"

...

"No need to be so nervous, it’s not bad news but good news; it’s about the Tri-School Competition,"

Jiang Yu explained with a smile.

"I know about the Tri-School Competition; we were watching it before the meeting. Although the broadcast was interrupted, there were no strong competitors from our family participated. I remember the only one, Su Bin, who was eliminated early,"

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

They really couldn’t figure out how the Tri-School Competition was related to them.

"That’s right, Young Master Su Ming also participated. Moreover, he won the second prize in the competition, and it’s probably hitting the headlines now!"

Jiang Yu explained, still smiling.

"What? Young Master Su Ming got the second prize? Are you kidding? Aren’t the top three usually senior students from the school? He is just a freshman, how is that possible?"

"Really? Are you sure?"

...

For a moment, everyone was baffled; this competition was of very high prestige. To know that those leading students, each one of them was the pride of the military department.

Even Su Rui, who had the best standing in the Su Family and was close to becoming a major, couldn’t compare, considering he hadn’t been promoted yet!

And even if he were promoted, it would still be inferior, given his age. As the eldest grandson of the Su Family, Su Rui was already quite old and had spent many years in the military department.

If Su Ming, a freshman, had won the second prize, that would mean he had surpassed the senior students. If this were true, it would mean the Su Family had truly produced an exceptional prodigy.

Another point was that with Su Ming achieving this, the Imperial Court Academy would definitely recruit him, offering boundless future prospects!

"It’s true."

Jiang Yu confirmed very confidently.

"Haha, this is indeed great news. Let’s conclude the meeting here, and handle things as we planned. And about that spokesperson, we won’t need him anymore!"

Su Zhen Tian decided right there!

"Good, congratulations big brother,"

said Su Tianhan and others, their smiles a bit stiff.

"By the way, Jiang Yu, ask Su Ming to come home tomorrow morning."

Su Zhen Tian then instructed Jiang Yu.

"Alright!"

Jiang Yu replied respectfully.

...

At night, Su Ming sat on his bed, texting and chatting with his mother, Zhao Ning.

Buzz!

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

When he saw it was from Mr. Jiang Yu, he opened it and glanced at it.

"Young Master Su Ming, the old master wants you to come home tomorrow morning. There will be a driver 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 got up early and walked alone on the road leading out of the school. There were very few students along the way, making it seem somewhat deserted.
