Shadow of Deep Space

Chapter 357 Reception (Five in One)

"This military merit application form was written by that gentleman. There should be no water in it. It's all true!"

Rogd said solemnly.

"Then how do we deduct it? Just let it go?"

Buin and others asked in a tricky way.

Rogde's expression changed for a moment, and then he spoke.

"No, when has our department ever been so easy? It's always been a case of taking advantage of others!"

"How are you going to buckle it?"

Buin and others asked.

"Look at me!"

Rogde picked up the pen and made a big mark on the 3000 points of military merit he claimed for the first battle, and then made another mark on the 5000 points he claimed for the second battle.

Then he looked at the last 1000 points of military merit and spoke.

“This.”

"Deduct some points too? Just as a token of appreciation?"

Carlochi said subconsciously.

"You can't deduct even a single point."

Rogde's eyes widened and he cursed angrily.

"why?"

Carloin was stunned.

"The third military merit was approved by the parliament. If we dare to withhold it, we will be called in for tea the next day!"

Rogd cursed angrily.

"Yes, senior."

Carlochi replied tremblingly.

"Today is really a hell of a day"

Rogde looked at the declaration form and said with a headache.

Outside the audit room.

Xiuen and others were anxiously waiting for the review results, and they kept looking towards the tight door.

"Why isn't it better yet?"

“This review took so long.”

"Will there be any trouble?"

Korifah discussed nervously.

Su Ming was also a little unsure.

At this time, the door of the review room opened, and a staff member came out holding a pile of review forms and shouted.

"Major Zhao Shen!"

"coming!"

A burly man walked up excitedly.

Su Ming and the others looked over, but unfortunately their names were not among the dozen or so names called out by the staff member.

But at this time, Zhao Shen and others picked up their review forms and started cursing with very ugly faces.

"Shit, I applied for 300 points of military merit, but 250 points were cut, leaving only 50 points. This is too much!"

"Who are you? I applied for 100 points of military merit, but only 10 points are left!"

When Su Ming and the others heard this, they looked at each other, their expressions becoming even more worried.

Time passed little by little, and soon the door of the review room opened again. The staff came out again with a stack of review forms and shouted.

"Hegarth, Colifar"

After hearing this, Su Ming and others immediately stood up and walked over.

"coming!"

Soon they got their respective application forms.

Hegas nervously opened the application form and looked at the last column for deductions. He saw the final review result clearly written on it, with 110 points deducted.

"That's great, only 110 points were deducted!"

Hegas shouted excitedly when he saw the result.

Su Ming heard what Hegas said, so he came over and asked.

"How many military merit points did you declare in total?"

"900 military merit points for two battles, 200 points awarded by the parliament, that's a deduction of %! This is the least deduction I've ever had in my life."

Hegarth was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

At this time, Chen Ying and others on the side also asked Kaf curiously.

"Kaf, how much did you deduct?"

"Not much. I reported 3100 points of military merit, but only 150 points were deducted."

Kraft was still very satisfied with the result.

Su Ming's heart was suddenly in suspense when he heard what they said. He applied for 9000 merit points, so at least a few hundred points would be deducted.

At this time, Xiuen, Colifa and others looked at Su Ming and asked.

"Su Ming, how much did you deduct?"

"I haven't watched it yet."

Su Ming replied with a wry smile.

"Hurry and take a look. I remember you applied for 9000 military merit points!"

Korifah said with a smile.

"Yeah, take a look!"

Hegas and the others all gathered around, urging Su Ming to take a quick look.

"All right!"

Su Ming then opened the application form, only to see that it clearly showed that one point was deducted by 5 points and the other by 10 points.

"Shit, only 15 points were deducted? That's too little!"

"Awesome, Su Ming!"

"This is probably the least deduction ever, right?"

Hegas and others looked envious.

At this time, Kaf suddenly asked.

"Su Ming, how many military merit points do you have originally? Are they enough to be promoted to major general?"

"Yes, you are a major so you must have more than 1000 military merit points!"

Xiuen and the others immediately reacted and asked.

Su Ming calculated and said with a wry smile.

"I have a total of 1012 military merit points, plus 8985 military merit points, now the total is 9997 military merit points!"

"Damn, it's only three o'clock. Are these reviewers deliberately making me feel disgusted?"

After hearing this, Hegas immediately felt sorry for Su Ming.

"That's right, it's a bit too much!"

Colifa and others followed suit and complained.

At this time, Kaf pondered for a moment and said.

"I don't think it was intentional. The reviewers can't see how many military merit points you have or how many points you need to advance. This must be a coincidence."

"I think so too. After all, the deduction is really small."

Su Ming replied in agreement.

"Oh~ It's such a pity, you are only 10000 points away from 3! Otherwise you could be promoted to major general."

Ye Hai said with great regret.

At this time, Xiu En coughed and said.

"It's nothing, actually. Su Ming's promotion to major general is certain. He still has the Heart of the Sky Battle to report. When the commander comes back, he can just report it casually and it will be enough."

"Yes, Su Ming is a safe major general!"

Hegas and others reacted one after another.

At this time, Korifah also said to Su Ming.

"Su Ming, if you are in a hurry, you can go to Major General Vickers and report your military merits for the third battle. They can deduct as much as they want. It will definitely be enough!"

"No, that would be a shame! I'd better wait for the legion commander to come back."

Su Ming refused with a smile.

"Don't mess around. Now that the war is over, it's hard to get military merit again. You'll lose a lot if you do this."

Kaf said in a deep voice.

"I was just joking, but it's really hard for people with this card to be neither up nor down."

Korifah scratched his head and said.

"That makes sense. It's really fucking uncomfortable, like having a fish bone stuck in your throat."

Hegas and others replied in agreement.

At this time, Major General Vickers came over and saw Su Ming and others gathered together, not knowing what they were discussing, so he opened his mouth and asked.

"What are you discussing?"

"General Vickers, you are here. We were discussing Su Ming's military merit. He was deducted 15 points, which is exactly 3 points short of being promoted to major general!"

"These auditors are really good at deducting fees."

Colifa and others complained.

"I don't think this is a big deal. It's not that simple. I'll report another military achievement for you."

After listening to this, Major General Vickers said simply and concisely.

"General, no, no, no, we should wait until the legion commander comes back for the third battle. It's not a good idea for you to report it."

Su Ming quickly declined.

If General Vickers helps him declare it, he will suffer a great loss if a lot of money is deducted.

"Yeah, let's just forget it."

Colifa and others said.

"Why are you panicking? I'm not reporting the third battle. I'm reporting the Dark Forest Escort. Didn't Su Ming kill that Type IV mutant Lord-level Black Beast? Although that monster wasn't wanted by the Federation, he protected the Tsar in disguise. I'll write him an application form. Is it okay to apply for 100 points of military merit?"

Major General Vickers said calmly.

"Yup!"

"That's wonderful!"

"General, it has to be you!"

When Colifa and others heard this, they all praised it.

"Thank you General!"

Su Ming also said with great gratitude.

"Wait!"

Vickers immediately walked up, negotiated with the review staff, took an application form, and filled in the information on the spot.

He filled it out and submitted the application.

"General, is this okay?"

Colifa and others asked a little worriedly.

"Of course I can. I also have the authority to apply."

Major General Vickers said confidently.

Su Ming and others then waited patiently.

About ten minutes later, the door of the review room was opened again, and a staff member came out and shouted expressionlessly.

"Su Ming!"

"Out!"

Colifa and others shouted excitedly.

Major General Vickers stepped forward and took the application form personally.

"Well, General?"

Su Ming and the others all gathered around.

"Don't worry, there will be no problem, I will definitely pass!"

Vickers then opened the application form in front of everyone.

There was an approval stamp on the application form, but 100 points were deducted from the 30 points of military merit I applied for!
Major General Vickers' face suddenly turned as black as charcoal.

These bastards actually didn't give me face. I deducted 30 points of military merit from my actual combat performance!
When Colifa, Xiuen and others saw the deducted military merit points, they looked at each other in bewilderment.

They whispered.

"Oh my god, so much? Fortunately, we didn't ask Major General Vickers to declare it for us, otherwise we would be finished."

"Yes!"

Su Ming also had an embarrassed look on his face. The legion commander deducted 9000 points from the 15 points he reported, and 100 points were directly deducted from the 30 points.

Vickers heard the discussion of Colifa and others and said with some embarrassment.

"This was an accident. I reported it in a hurry and was not well prepared, so I deducted more."

"Yes, the General is right."

Su Ming and others replied awkwardly.

"Alright! The matter of reporting military merits is now over. You all go back and have a good rest. Remember not to reveal your identity casually, especially regarding the Star Fortress."

Vickers coughed and then spoke solemnly.

When Su Ming heard what Major General Vickers said, he didn't know why, but that feeling came back again.

"I understand, but General! If someone asks us which legion we are from, how should we answer? If we don't answer, it seems even more suspicious."

Korifah asked after some hesitation.

"It's simple. When someone asks you, just tell them that you are from the Royal Order."

"Then which legion of the Royal Order should we report to?"

"You can report the First Legion, the Second Legion, or the Seventh Legion. If the opponent is the First Legion, you can report the Second Legion."

Vickers said simply.

"General, is this okay? I'll tell this person I'm from the First Legion and that person I'm from the Second Legion. If time passes, people might think I'm a liar."

Colifa and others replied helplessly.

"What Korifah said is right. What if we are guessed to be from the Thirteenth Legion?"

Kaf asked solemnly.

"Guess it if you want. Just don't reveal the internal situation of the Thirteenth Legion. The main reason why we have to keep it secret is for the safety of ourselves and our companions."

Vickers instructed in a deep voice.

Of course he knew that the concerns of Colifa and others were not unreasonable, but this was the only thing he could do for now.

"understood."

After listening to this, Kaf and others nodded.

At this moment, Su Ming's bracelet vibrated and a prompt message popped up.

"Dear Mr. Su Ming, the Federal Military Department officially notifies you that your review has been passed. Your accumulated military merit points have exceeded 10000 points, and your rank has been automatically promoted to Brigadier General. The Federal Military Department will notify you of further studies soon, so please prepare in advance. When you finish your further studies and receive an excellent evaluation in the assessment, you will be officially promoted to Major General!"

"what"

Su Ming looked at the message and made a surprised sound. He didn't expect the notification to come so quickly.

"What's wrong? Su Ming!"

Xiu En and others looked at Su Ming in confusion.

"No, the military department just notified me that I was promoted to brigadier general and I am ready to study at any time."

Su Ming said to everyone.

"Congratulations!"

Major General Vickers took the lead and spoke to Su Ming.

"Promoted to general at the age of 20, you are awesome, the fastest promotion in history."

Colifa and others congratulated with great envy.

"Thank you. I have just stepped into the threshold. I still need to study and learn more."

Su Ming said modestly.

Vickers reached out and patted Su Ming on the shoulder, saying with a smile.

"Don't worry, this further study will not be a problem for you."

"it is good!"

Su Ming responded with a smile.

"Su Ming, give me a private contact number so we can get in touch later."

At this time, Korifah spoke.

"Give me one too!"

Kaf said quickly.

After Su Ming heard this, he spoke to everyone.

"How about this, everyone exchange contact information, and if anything happens during your vacation, you can call each other!"

"That's a good idea. We are a legion, so we should take care of each other!"

General Vickers said in agreement.

"That's right!"

People began to exchange contact information with each other.

After the exchange, General Vickers and others said goodbye.

"gone!"

"Okay, I'm going home too."

"Contact me sometime."

"Bye-Bye!"

Not long after, Su Ming appeared alone on the street outside and walked towards the nearby skytrain station.

This SkyTrain station near the federal government is basically empty.

People who come here to do business usually have their own special car to pick them up.

Soon Su Ming boarded the skytrain back to the Imperial Court Academy.

He first sent a message to Rhine, and then quietly looked at the scenery outside the car window.

buzz~
Not long after, his bracelet vibrated and a prompt message popped up.

Su Ming raised the bracelet and took a look. He was a little surprised that the message was not from Rhine.

"Dear General Su Ming, the Tsar will be moved to the dock for renovation in three days. Please move the Level 4 battleship Fengdong to another dock within three days."

After reading it, Su Ming quickly made a decision. He planned to rent a parking space at the Imperial Academy's interstellar airport, which would definitely be cheaper.

A few hours later.

On the campus of Royal Court Academy.

Su Ming took out his cell phone and called Lin Fang.

Dudu~
The call was connected soon.

"Su Ming?"

Lin Fang heard a rather unexpected voice on the phone.

"It's me. I have something to ask you."

"You said."

"I want to rent a parking space for a level 4 battleship at the school's interstellar airport. Can you rent it there? Or do you have any good recommendations?"

Su Ming then said to Lin Fang.

"The parking spaces for level 4 ships are very expensive. Do you really want to rent them?"

Lin Fang replied in great surprise.

"Ok!"

"That's no problem. Where are you? I'll pick you up."

"I'm at the bus stop in the atrium area of ​​the school."

Su Ming looked around and replied.

"Okay, wait there, I'll pick you up!"

Lin Fang hung up the phone after he finished speaking.

Not long after, a black sedan drove over and stopped next to Su Ming.

"Su Ming, get in the car!"

Lin Fang rolled down the car window and said to Su Ming.

"it is good!"

Su Ming then sat in the passenger seat.

Lin Fang drove Su Ming towards the Imperial Court Academy Interstellar Airport.

More than two hours later, Lin Fang brought Su Ming to the interstellar airport's parking space numbered F4444.

"This area is in a very good location, very close to the Imperial College! The only downside is that the number is not so auspicious."

Lin Fang introduced Su Ming while sitting in the car.

"It doesn't matter. I don't care about that. How about the price?"

Su Ming looked at the berth in front of him and asked with satisfaction.

"The rent is 100 million yuan a month, which means 1200 million federal coins a year."

Lin Fang then said to Su Ming.

"Just rent this for a year first!"

Su Ming immediately made the decision.

"Then let's go through the formalities. I'll generate an electronic contract for you, and you can transfer the money directly to the school account."

Lin Fang said very competently.

"it is good!"

Su Ming followed Lin Fang's instructions and transferred the money into the school account.

Ten minutes later, after Lin Fang finished the operation, he said to Su Ming with a smile.

"Done. By the way, where's your boat?"

"At the interstellar airport in Starlight City, can I try to move it over?"

Su Ming raised his bracelet and sent a request message to the Tsar, asking the operators of the Tsar to help transfer the Fengdong.

Soon a message popped up.

"Dear General Su Ming, your application has been approved. We will immediately transfer the Fengdong to the designated location for you."

Su Ming saw this message and said to Lin Fang with a smile.

"Alright, the boat will be here in a moment!

"it is good."

Lin Fang replied with a smile.

About half an hour later, a loud roar was heard from the sky, and the Fengdong slowly descended from the sky.

"This, this ship is yours?"

Lin Fang asked in shock as he looked at the landing Fengdong.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"No, this one is obviously a new ship, and it looks very advanced. It is definitely not an ordinary level 4 battleship!"

"It's okay. Wait until the ship lands. Drive the car up and I'll go get some things!"

Su Ming smiled and said.

"it is good!"

Lin Fang responded immediately.

At dusk, Lin Fang drove Su Ming towards the dormitory building of Royal Court Academy.

Su Ming looked at the familiar scenery passing by outside the window, and his heart was touched.

More than an hour later, Su Ming and Lin Fang returned to the dormitory building.

After Su Ming said goodbye to Lin Fang, he walked into the warm dormitory building.

He walked to the dormitory door and found that the doors of the three adjacent dormitories were all closed.

Su Ming pushed open the door of his dormitory, glanced at the empty dormitory, his eyes fell on Sun Lu's bed, and a trace of sadness appeared on his face.

He clearly remembered that during his last leave before military service, Sun Lu invited him to his home in the dormitory, but unfortunately he never had the chance again.

Thirty of their classmates served in the army, and only twenty-five returned.

At this time, Xiao Hui jumped out of Su Ming's pocket, ran around in the dormitory, and then jumped onto Su Ming's bed.

"You are quite smart. You can tell which one is my bed right away."

Su Ming walked to the bed and sat down, then reached out and touched Xiao Hui's head.

At this time, footsteps were heard at the door, and then the door was pushed open, and Rhine and others walked in.

When they saw Su Ming, they all greeted him.

"Monitor."

"Well, you're back. Did you find out what I asked you to find out?"

Su Ming asked calmly.

"I found out that Sun Lu and the others will be moved to the academy cemetery tomorrow morning, and their families will go there to mourn."

Rhine explained to Su Ming.

"I understand. Prepare some flowers and notify everyone to gather at the entrance of the cemetery tomorrow morning. We will go to pay our respects."

Su Ming sighed slightly and said.

"Okay, but Matthew and the others are not in school."

Rhine explained to Su Ming.

"Ah."

Su Ming nodded slightly in response.

The next morning, Su Ming and others came to the southeast corner of the Royal Court Academy, at the gate of the cemetery.

Ailu and other girls held bouquets of flowers in their hands and stood there with sad expressions for a long time.

Su Ming then walked in front of the crowd and spoke to Ai Lu and the others.

"Cheer up, I don't think Sun Lu and the others want to see you like this."

"Yes."

Elu and the others took a deep breath and replied.

Su Ming then led everyone into the cemetery. A breeze blew in, and the leaves of the maple trees along the way swayed, making a fluttering sound, as if welcoming them back.

Ailu said to Su Ming.

"Class monitor, the school buried the five people, Sun Lu, together. Their tombstones are next to each other."

"That's good. At least I have a companion."

Su Ming nodded slightly.

Not long after, Su Ming and others came to a sloping hillside where new tombstones were erected.

Family members can be seen standing in front of the tombstone and crying quietly.

Su Ming and others walked over with heavy hearts.

Apart from the five people including Sun Lu, some of these newly erected tombstones also belong to the Thirteenth Legion.

As Elu and the others walked over, they picked up a bouquet of flowers and placed them in front of their tombstones.

Soon Su Ming and his companions reached the right side of the hillside and saw five tombstones lined up side by side, with flowers placed in front of them.

In front of these tombstones stood many family members dressed in black, sobbing quietly.

Among these family members are Sun Lu’s parents, grandparents, and brothers and sisters.

When Su Ming and the others walked over, the parents of Sun Lu and others turned their heads to look at them with sad expressions on their faces.

Su Ming came over with Rhine and others. They first placed flowers in front of the tombs of Sun Lu and others, and then bowed to their tombstones one by one.

After doing all this, Su Ming turned around with Rhine and others, bowed deeply to the parents of Sun Lu and others, and spoke sincerely.

"I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of them."

At this time, a middle-aged man wearing glasses and with some graying temples asked with red eyes.

"You are Sun Lu's squad leader, Su Ming, right?"

"Yes."

Su Ming replied in a deep voice.

"Sun Lu mentioned you to me, saying that you took great care of him. As a squad leader, you have done a great job. His sacrifice is not your fault. War is cruel. When we sent him to the Imperial Court Academy, we were mentally prepared for this."

Sun Ke said with a choked voice.

At this time, the relatives of Zhu Wei and others also spoke with red eyes.

"Yes, they died defending the Federation, and we are proud of them."

When Rhine and the others heard their words, their expressions became even sadder.

"Thank you. If you need any help in the future, feel free to come to me."

Su Ming took a deep breath and spoke solemnly to Sun Ke and others.

When Sun Ke and others heard Su Ming's words, they didn't say anything, but just looked at the tombstone silently, their expressions becoming more and more sad.

At this time, a breeze blew by, blowing the corners of Su Ming and others' clothes.

The next morning, inside the dormitory building.

Su Ming slowly got up, went to the bathroom, turned on the faucet, put his hands together, took a handful of cold water, and tapped it directly on his face.

Suddenly, the whole person became energetic.

buzz~
Suddenly his bracelet vibrated.

Su Ming picked up the towel, wiped his cheek, raised his bracelet and took a look. He was slightly startled, then picked it up and spoke.

"Mother?"

"My dear son, are you awake?"

"Get up."

"I'm about to arrive at the Starlight City Central Station. I'm here to see you."

Zhao Ning said to Su Ming very happily.

"Ah? Mother, why are you here? The situation is not very safe recently. Are you here alone?"

"No, your father is here too."

"He's here too?"

Su Ming was even more surprised to hear this, because Su Yuan would never want to come to the City of Starlight.

"Yes, we are worried about you. We haven't seen you for a long time, so we came here. Son, are you surprised?"

Zhao Ning said very happily.

"Glad, I'll pick you up at the station right now, I won't tell you anything yet."

Su Ming replied with a slight twitch of his mouth, then hung up the phone.

"Ugh!"

Su Ming sighed slightly. These two really knew how to give him surprises.

He quickly walked out of the bathroom and changed his shoes.

"Squad leader, where are you going?"

Rhine and the others asked curiously when they saw Su Ming changing his shoes in such a hurry.

"I have something to go home for, so I'm leaving first!"

Su Ming left in a hurry after saying this.

He had to hurry to the station to pick up his parents before anything went wrong.

Platform 7 of City of Stars Central Station.

A high-speed train stopped and the doors opened.

Zhao Ning was seen walking out of the car with her black hair tied up, wearing a blue and white cheongsam and black high heels.

At this time, Su Yuan, who was wearing a black suit, a red bow tie, and had a sad face, also got out of the car.

"Listen carefully, I came to Starlight City this time to see my son, and to ask you to help Su Ming with his studies. Don't fail me at the critical moment!"

Zhao Ning warned Su Yuan worriedly.

"Don't worry, I know what to do."

Su Yuan shrugged his head and replied.

The two talked as they walked towards the exit.

At the exit.

Su Ming kept looking inside, searching for his parents.

Soon, Su Yuan and Zhao Ning were seen walking to the exit and then went up.

At this time, Su Yuan, who had just walked to the exit, suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong with you?"

Zhao Ning asked unhappily.

"Wife, my phobia seems to be coming back, and my right foot is out of control."

Su Yuan looked down at his trembling right foot and said with a sad face.

Zhao Ning immediately became furious and started cursing.

"Can you please be more promising?"

When Su Ming saw this scene, he also smiled bitterly.

As a father, he is still so afraid of the Starlight City that he forces himself to come even though he can't.

But Su Ming still shouted.

"Father, mother!"

"My dear son, I miss you so much."

Zhao Ning then ignored Su Yuan and trotted towards Su Ming, giving him a warm hug.

"I missed you too. What happened to father?"

Su Ming asked with a smile.

"Humph, the old problem comes back again."

"Haha, let me carry him."

"No, I'm used to it!"

Zhao Ning also walked over angrily and slapped Su Yuan on the head.

Su Yuan covered his head, his legs stopped shaking immediately, and he begged for mercy.

"I'm all right."

"Look, it's done!"

Zhao Ning said to Su Ming with a smile.

"Well, let's go over there and take a taxi home."

Su Ming said to Zhao Ning and Su Yuan.

"Okay, is your son adapting well to school life? Is he eating well?"

Zhao Ning took Su Ming's arm and walked towards the taxi area, asking about his well-being.

"pretty good."

Su Ming replied with a smile.

More than an hour later.

A black hover taxi stopped at the gate of the Su family villa.

Su Ming and the other two got out of the car.

"Finally home."

Zhao Ning looked at the gate of the Su family villa and said with some emotion.

At this time, Su Yuan, who was standing aside, looked at the villa, and his legs suddenly began to tremble again, with a look of panic on his face. It was as if what he saw was not the gate of the villa, but a bloody mouth.

When Su Ming saw Su Yuan's reaction, he shook his head helplessly.

Zhao Ning really couldn't stand it anymore, she reached out and held Su Yuan's arm, pinching his waist silently.

"Ah~ It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"

Su Yuan suddenly screamed in pain.

"Don't let me down at the critical moment."

Zhao Ning angrily scolded Su Yuan, saying that he had told him many times when he came here.

"I don't want to either."

Su Yuan replied with a bitter face.

Su Ming smiled helplessly.

At this time, the door of the Su family opened and Butler An Ke hurried out. He greeted with surprise.

"Master Su Yuan, Madam Zhao Ning, and Young Master Su Ming, you are back."

"Well, Butler Anko, are the old men here?"

Zhao Ning asked very politely.

"Yes, the old man, several young masters of the family, and many uncles are here, please follow me in."

An Ke said to Zhao Ning and the other two.

"it is good!"

Zhao Ning nodded in response.

In the lobby of the Su family villa.

Su Zhentian sat in the main seat, while Su Yao, Su Ying, Su Tianhan and others sat on chairs.

Basically all the more prestigious people in the Su family were present.

"The release of the weapons production quota by the Federation this time is very important to us. We can't just sit there and watch others share the spoils. If we miss this round of quota, we don't know when the next round will be!"

"That's right. If our competitors get the quota and we don't, we will be in a more passive position in the future."

Elders such as Su Tianhan spoke up and expressed their opinions.

Su Zhentian frowned, his expression very solemn. It can be seen that the quota issue this time made him feel quite difficult.

Just then, Butler An Ke hurried in and reported to Su Zhentian respectfully.

"Master, Master Su Yuan, Madam Zhao Ning, and Young Master Su Ming are back!"

"Quick, let them in!"

Su Zhentian was very happy when he heard that Su Yuan was back. He hadn't seen this useless son for many years, and it was impossible for him to say that he didn't miss him.

"Yes!"

Butler An Ke hurried out.

Soon, Butler An Ke led Su Ming and the other two to the living room.

Swish!
Everyone in the living room looked at Su Yuan and the other two.

The moment Su Yuan saw Su Zhentian, his legs suddenly went weak and he fell to his knees with a thud.

Not only Su Ming was stunned by this kneeling, but Su Yao and others were also stunned.

Su Zhentian's face suddenly turned darker than charcoal, and his originally good mood was instantly ruined.

At this time, Mr. Su and others were also discussing in a low voice.

"Su Yuan, what trouble have you gotten into again?"

"I don't know, I haven't heard of it!"

"But judging from the situation, he must have caused trouble, otherwise he wouldn't kneel right up here."

Zhao Ning looked at Su Yuan who was kneeling down, her face looked very bad, but she didn't dare to say anything.

Seeing that Su Zhentian was about to lose his temper, Su Ming sighed secretly, then said with a smile.

"Grandpa, my father hasn't visited you for many years. He feels guilty and misses you so much that he wants to kowtow to you to express his apology."

"Yes, that's it."

Zhao Ning reacted and quickly reached out to hold Su Yuan's head.

Su Yuan finally did not let him down this time and quickly kowtowed to Su Zhentian.

When Su Zhentian heard this, his expression relaxed a lot and he was a little touched, so he spoke.

"Get up! Come home more often when you have time."

"Yes, father."

Su Yuan responded timidly.

Su Zhentian then said to Butler An Ke.

"Go get three chairs."

"Ok!"

Butler An Ke went to make arrangements immediately.

Soon three chairs were brought over, and Su Ming and the other two sat down.

"Continue the meeting. There are no outsiders here."

Su Zhentian said in a deep voice.

"Father, there is something I don't know whether I should say or not."

At this time, Su Ying mustered up the courage to speak.

"Say it!"

Su Zhentian glanced at Su Ying and said in a deep voice.

"Father, our Su family now relies entirely on the mecha production line of the Thunder Group to survive. It's not a solution for everyone to just stay here like this! Can't you think of a way to get more quotas from the Zong family so that we can have room for growth?"

Su Ying said boldly.

"correct."

Mr. Su and his other sons echoed this.

Su Ming's expression changed slightly when he heard this. It seemed that all his uncles could not hold back and wanted to start their own business. And although Su Ying said it very tactfully, there was also a complaint in her words.

He was complaining about Su Zhentian for not being able to provide them with enough resources.

Su Zhentian kept a tense face when he heard what Su Ying and others said. Finally, he sighed helplessly and said in a deep voice.

"Forget it. Regarding the quota, I will find a way to ask the Zong family for it. But I have something ugly to say in advance, so listen to me! Don't think that I don't know about the shit you did behind my back! You'd better not let the Federation catch you, otherwise you will die without knowing how you died!"

When Su Ying and others heard Su Zhentian's words, they all looked uneasy.

Su Yuan was even more frightened, his body was shaking, he got into trouble just after returning home.

Su Ming naturally knew very well what Su Zhentian was warning him about. If he guessed correctly, he should be investigating who was smuggling the mecha.

After Su Zhentian gave the warning, his expression gradually calmed down and he spoke to Butler An Ke in a deep voice.

"An Ke, go prepare a lunch to welcome Su Yuan and the others."

"Yes, sir."

Anko responded respectfully.

When Su Yuan heard this, he was stunned. A welcome party for himself?

When did he get this kind of treatment? In previous years, he was scolded when he came back.

Why is this year different? Not only did I not get scolded, but I also got a welcome party?

Zhao Ning was also very surprised. She knew better than anyone what Su Yuan's position in the family was. Moreover, Su Yuan had caused such a big mess in the past two years.

As for Su Ming, he seemed very calm.

It didn't take long for Butler An Ke to arrange the lunch.

Su Ming and others came to the banquet table.

At this time, the third aunt saw Su Yuan and Zhao Ning and greeted them warmly.

"Su Yuan, I haven't seen you for a long time, please sit down!"

"Hello, Third Sister-in-law."

Zhao Ning responded politely.

Soon everyone took their seats one by one.

"Today is a family dinner, so there are no rules. Let's start the feast!"

Su Zhentian picked up the chopsticks and opened the table and said.

"it is good!"

Su Yao and others responded one after another.

At this time, the third aunt smiled and picked up a shrimp and handed it to Su Ming.

"Su Ming, I haven't seen you for half a year. Are you very busy recently? Eat a shrimp to replenish your energy."

"Thank you!"

Su Ming replied politely.

At this time Su Yao poured a glass of beer, handed it to Su Ming and said.

"It should be fine today."

"fine."

"It's okay, let's have a drink!"

"it is good!"

Su Ming took it with a smile and clinked it with Uncle Su Yao.

At this time Su Ying also expressed concern.

"I haven't seen you for half a year. You seem to have lost some weight. Although you are still young, you should take care of your health."

"Ok."

Su Ming replied politely.

Su Yuan looked at this scene with a puzzled expression on his face. Did his brothers and sisters-in-law take the wrong medicine? Why are they so enthusiastic about their son?

At this time, Zhao Ning also realized that something was wrong. The attitudes of Su Ying and others were too abnormal.

But they didn't say much, just ate in silence.

At this time, Su Fu hurried in and reported to Su Zhentian with a smile on his face.

"Master, good news! Master Su Rui has made great contributions on the front line and will be back soon to be awarded a medal."

"Oh my god, this is great! My Su family can finally be proud of itself for once, as we have two majors."

When Su Zhentian heard Su Fu's report, he happily picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

"Brother, congratulations!"

Su Haiwei and others congratulated Su Yao.

"Thank you."

Su Yao also smiled.

Su Ying looked at this scene, her expression suddenly became gloomy and she said nothing.

At this time, Su Yuan was also confused, and he asked Su Ying curiously.

"Third brother, do we have two majors in the Su family? Who is the other one?"

"Your son."

Su Ying was also stunned and replied in confusion.

"Ah? Su Ming is a major?"

At this moment Su Yuan was suddenly startled and spoke in confusion.

Zhao Ning was also dumbfounded. He turned to look at Su Ming and asked.

"Son, are you a major?"

"Yeah, I forgot to tell you."

Su Ming explained awkwardly
"Sister-in-law, don't you know? Su Ming was promoted to major half a year ago. He is now the most promising person in our Su family!"

Su Haiwei also spoke up.

"That's right. Su Ming is already a major at the age of 20. He has a bright future ahead of him."

Su Ying quickly said flatteringly.

"Really? Son, are you kidding me? How could you be a major?"

Su Yuan asked Su Ming in disbelief.

"it is true."

Su Ming forced a smile and replied.

He thought to himself, what's the point of being a major? He is already a brigadier general and will soon be a major general.

If this were to be made known to others, the entire family would probably be furious.

However, Su Ming was too lazy to say more, after all, he had not yet completed his studies.

At this time, Su Zhentian spoke and scolded Su Yuan.

"Why are you so startled? You don't even know what's going on with your own son. What do you do all day?"

"I know I was wrong, father."

Su Yuan replied quickly.

"Ugh!"

Seeing that he was still so cowardly, Su Zhentian couldn't help but shake his head.

At this time, Mr. Su saw that his eldest brother's son was promoted to major, his third brother Su Ying's son Su Bin was also studying at the Royal Court Academy, and the ninth brother Su Yuan's son Su Ming was even more outstanding.

He looked at his son Su Qiu again.

I saw this guy holding a pig's trotter in his hand and gnawing on it, making a smacking sound, and he didn't look like a decent guy at all.

He was so angry that he really wanted to slap Su Qiu.

I shouldn’t have named him “ball” in the first place. Now he has really become a ball.

At this time, Su Haiwei and others also spoke to Su Yuan very attentively.

"Su Yuan, are you doing okay in District 13? If you have any difficulties, don't hide them, just tell me."

"Yes, as a brother, I will definitely take care of you!"

Su Yuan was also a little flattered. Except for Su Yao, his brothers usually tried to avoid him. Why did they become so nice to him?

Zhao Ning looked at this scene and quickly spoke for Su Yuan.

"Thank you all for your kindness, we are doing well in District 13, so you don't have to worry about us. But we appreciate your kindness."

She knew better than anyone that the reason these people were so enthusiastic was entirely because of her son.

Zhao Ning was not so stupid as to accept their kindness, but Su Ming would have to repay these favors in the future.

"Sister-in-law, you are still so good at talking."

Su Haiwei and others said with a smile.

The whole banquet was filled with joy.

After three drinks.

When Third Aunt saw that it was almost time, she poked Su Ying with her arm.

Su Ying, whose face was flushed at this time, also understood what he meant, and then said to Su Zhentian with a smile.

"Well, father, there is something I want you to decide."

"Say!"

Su Zhentian replied in a deep voice.

"It's just that Su Bin is now a sophomore at Imperial Academy and can graduate at any time. It's time for him to get his big event on the agenda. Can you find a good partner for Su Bin?"

Su Ying said implicitly.

"Yes, and Su Qiu, he's old enough too. Father, you must find him someone with a good family background."

Director Su said quickly.

When Su Ming heard this, a strange expression appeared on his face. Was this planning for a blind date or marriage?

After listening to his sons' words, Su Zhentian did not get angry, but pondered for a while and said.

"Since ancient times, starting a family and establishing a career are things that every man should experience. Starting a family first is also a good choice. It just so happens that Su Rui is also going home these days."

"Yes."

Su Yao nodded and replied.

"The Zong family will hold a grand banquet soon, and all the major families and capital giants will attend. You all should come with me, and then we will see if there is anyone who can catch a glimpse of each other."

Su Zhentian then spoke to everyone.

He had originally planned to go back alone to ask the Zong family for some quotas, and to ask his old father for two fourth-generation aircraft for Su Ming and Su Rui.

But now after hearing what Su Ying said, he decided to take his sons and grandsons home and give them a chance.

"Great!"

Su Ying and the others were all very happy, as this was a good opportunity to marry someone of higher status.

However, after hearing what Su Zhentian said, Su Ming asked in surprise.

"Grandpa, should I go too?"

"Let's go together. This will be very helpful for your career."

Su Zhentian nodded slightly and said to Su Ming.

"Son, it's okay to go. That's how your mother and I met."

Su Yuan hurriedly said to Su Ming.

"Ok."

Su Ming replied helplessly.

He is not the kind of person who would spoil the fun, so it's okay for him to take a trip. He doesn't have anything to do recently anyway.
