Chapter 211: Chapter 211: Endorsement (Second Update)

However, that was normal, seeing as he had gotten up early, and it was only slightly past six in the morning.

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

"Look, he’s coming out!"

Before Su Ming could react, dozens of elegantly dressed business elites rushed toward him and surrounded him layer by layer. freёwebnovel.com

"Are you Su Ming?"

...

"Are you here to pick me up?"

Su Ming looked at the crowd in front of him, utterly puzzled.

"No, I am Hu Feng, a representative from Hengke Interstellar Heavy Industry. Mr. Su Ming, our company would like to offer you an endorsement for our latest mecha, with an annual fee of 10 million Federation coins!"

A shrewd-looking man with a small mustache immediately said.

"Don’t listen to him, come to us at Lovosk Interstellar Heavy Industry, we’ll give twenty million Federation coins!"

A very short man abruptly raised the offer.

Upon hearing this, Hu Feng immediately became anxious and blurted out.

"22 million!"

At that point, other company representatives present also started bidding.

"23 million!"

...

Listening to everyone’s offers, Su Ming finally understood what they were there for and politely declined.

"Sorry, I won’t be endorsing."

"Oh come on! It’s simple, you won’t have to do anything, just pose for a photo and the money is yours!"

Hu Feng said to Su Ming, extremely excited.

"No, thank you."

Su Ming still shook his head in response.

Seeing that Su Ming was unwilling to take the endorsement, Hu Feng and others spoke somewhat displeased.

"Mr. Su Ming, we mean no offense, but you shouldn’t overlook this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! If you miss out now and the hype dies down, not even a million would be on the table."

"Exactly, you need to seize this opportunity; who turns down money?"

...

Others also tried to persuade him.

In their eyes, Su Ming was being overly lofty, unaware of the benefits of money, and would surely regret it later.

Su Ming spoke calmly to everyone:

"I appreciate your kindness, but I really cannot accept the endorsement since my family also manufactures mechas."

"Ah? Your family manufactures mechas too? Which corporate group are you with?"

Hu Feng and others were taken aback, asking in unison.

"Thunder Interstellar Heavy Industry."

Su Ming could only reveal his family background.

"Su Zhen Tian! Wait, your name is Su Ming, you’re from the Su Family?"

Hu Feng and others were severely astonished.

"Yes, Su Zhen Tian is my grandfather, sorry everyone, please make way, the person picking me up has arrived!"

Su Ming saw the An Ke butler walking over and squeezed his way through.

Hu Feng and the others could only step aside and sighed.

"Ah! The Su Family is going to prosper."

...

Two and a half hours later.

The black hover car stopped at the gate of the Su Family villa, and Su Ming just got out of the car. Uncle Su Ying, Uncle Su Dong, and others came forward to greet him.

Su Ying and others warmly welcomed Su Ming.

"Su Ming, welcome back!"

"Are you tired from the ride? Have you had breakfast?"

...

"Thank you, uncles."

Su Ming was also startled and then responded. This trip home felt entirely different from previous visits. These uncles used to be quite cold towards him, even indifferent; now their enthusiasm was a bit overwhelming.

"You did wonderfully in the competition, reaching second place. Your father is very pleased, the whole family is proud of you."

At that moment, Su Dong also exclaimed with a beaming smile.

"Thank you, Uncle Four, for your praise."

Su Ming replied politely.

"Su Ming, you are so outstanding, you should guide your brothers more often. Su Bin is in the same grade as you, try to spend more time together."

Su Ying quickly said to Su Ming.

"I will if I find the time."

Su Ming replied noncommittally.

At this moment, the An Ke butler interrupted everyone respectfully.

"Young masters, the old master is waiting for Young Master Su Ming."

"Then hurry up, don’t keep father waiting too long."

Su Dong said with a smile.

"Gentlemen, I must be leaving now."

Su Ming said politely, then followed the An Ke butler out.

Soon, Su Ming reached the door of the study, which was open.

Through the doorway, Su Ming saw Su Zhen Tian pacing back and forth in the study, continuously sighing.

Seeing this, Su Ming was somewhat moved. Being the head of the family wasn’t easy after all; the pressure was immense.

Just then, as Su Zhen Tian turned around, he saw Su Ming and the butler at the door and immediately called out with a smile.

"Su Ming, come, come!"

Su Ming then entered the study and greeted Su Zhen Tian.

"Grandfather."

"Motherfucker, I am truly shocked. I didn’t expect you to win a second prize in the league; this is the greatest honor in the history of the Su Family!"

Su Zhen Tian said warmly, patting Su Ming on the shoulder.

Su Ming immediately felt his right shoulder burn with pain; the old man’s strength was no joke. He replied with a smile.

"It’s just good luck."

"Don’t say that. There’s not much luck involved in this sort of league, your grandfather isn’t that foolish."

Su Zhen Tian waved his hand in response.

Su Ming smiled and did not argue further. Despite Su Zhen Tian’s fiery temperament, he was indeed the most insightful person in the Su Family.

"Let’s have a good drink tonight to celebrate!"

"Sure!"

"By the way, you’ve brought so much honor to the family, and we don’t have much else to reward you with. You had previously booked a Third Generation Mecha at half price; I’ll have finance refund it to you. If the mecha ever breaks, just come back to the family to get a new one."

Su Zhen Tian said generously.

"That doesn’t seem quite right."

Su Ming was also very surprised, 1.5 billion Federation coins, and a lifetime guarantee! That’s no small amount of money, and who knows how Su Bin would react if he found out.

"Motherfucker, what’s not right? If anyone has an opinion, let them also bring a second prize home, and I’ll straight up give them a Third Generation Mecha!"

Su Zhen Tian cursed heatedly.

"Then, thank you, grandfather."

Su Ming didn’t refuse; he needed money as he wanted to buy a better mecha.

"Ah, there’s also another thing I want to tell you."

Su Zhen Tian continued.

"Grandfather, please go ahead!"

"The Second Generation Mecha—Raider produced by our family needs a spokesperson, I was thinking of having you endorse it."

"Okay, when do we start shooting?"

Su Ming readily agreed.

"Today. Later, you go find Jiang Yu, he will take you for the shoot."

Su Zhen Tian said decisively.

"Okay."

Su Ming nodded.

At that moment, the ring of a stationary phone on the desk sounded, and Su Zhen Tian glanced at it, furrowing his brows slightly.

Seeing this, Su Ming said to Su Zhen Tian.

"Grandfather, I’ll head out first."

"Mm!"

Su Zhen Tian nodded in response.

Su Ming then left the study, heading downstairs.
