The weapon refiner is not doing her job properly

Chapter 139 It Can't Go This Smoothly

"Don't ask me about my drastic personality change before. It was an unpleasant experience, and I believe anyone who has experienced pollution understands what I'm talking about. I can't even sort it out myself, let alone explain it to you," Alice warned them first, telling them not to ask about sensitive topics.

These people smiled politely and immediately indicated that they would not ask for details; they did not seem to be keen to pry into her privacy.

"It's alright, we just hope you can help introduce them and tell us what kind of people they have." The word "introduce" already puts Yun Fei and the others in a high position, and incidentally, it also elevates Alice, who knows them.

“We know one of them, Professor Yunfei… We’ve always wanted to get to know him.”

Alice's beautiful eyes flickered, revealing a perfect blend of coquettishness and innocence: "Sigh, it's not that I don't want to be this enthusiastic middleman."

Her slender fingers rested on the edge of her delicate chin, her demeanor elegant. "They and I are not in the same circle at all. We just happened to meet by chance, and our interactions are really limited."

“When it comes to matchmaking and introducing connections, I think Assistant Liang is the most suitable person. He is Yun Fei’s assistant.”

At this moment, Assistant Liang was navigating the crowd with ease, wearing an impeccable professional smile, and her words and actions were impeccable.

He focused all his energy on expanding his business empire and strengthening his network of contacts; he was meticulous and had clear goals.

Under these circumstances, unless Yun Fei personally gives the order, no matter who tries to persuade him, they will not be able to shake his determination to focus on the "battlefield" at hand.

Not to mention going up to the boss to make a simple introduction.

Looking at his professional demeanor, the others were somewhat envious that Yun Fei had such a capable assistant.

Only Assistant Liang himself was silently groaning in his heart, feeling like he was a spinning top being constantly whipped, his feet never touching the ground.

He's already incredibly busy. If his boss suddenly decides to organize more business activities, he'll definitely die young.

Next time, he should avoid causing trouble for himself and should definitely refuse to let Yun Fei participate in the event. He was asked countless times today; there are quite a few people who want to get to know Yun Fei.

……

Su Ninglong stood there, a little bored, and even wanted to squat down, but the posture was not elegant.

"Shen Zhaoming, your younger brother is such a weakling. Is that all? We don't even need to back you up. Why did you look so melancholy before?"

Shen Zhaoming looked at him strangely and said helplessly, "Because before, I was unsure about my future."

"Oh!" Su Ninglong was still annoyed; he had thought he would see a fierce argument.

Song Liu quietly moved to Su Ninglong's side. "Ninglong, the skilled tea plantation and plantation manager you asked for is ready. When will we start hiring them? But..."

He gave a heads-up, "This monthly salary isn't cheap. They're asking for at least 15,000 yuan. In the first year, you can get a bonus based on your performance. From the second year onwards, you'll be hired again with a 15-month salary per year and eight days off per month. During your rest time, they'll arrange work for the robots."

He observed Su Ninglong's reaction and, seeing that she was expressionless, he added enthusiastically, "Of course, you might be short of money in the early stages of starting your business. My family said that since you don't have that much money right now, our Song family can help you cover it for three years. We'll talk about it again once you've got some cash flow."

“If I can ask for help, I naturally have the ability to pay,” Su Ninglong said. “Just have them directly coordinate the follow-up details with Ge Wei.”

Ge Wei is talking with Yun Fei, discussing how to achieve the best results for the wasteland's defense projects while complying with all regulations.

Although he was focused on the discussion in front of him, he was obviously also paying attention to the surrounding noise. As soon as he heard Su Ninglong mention his name, he immediately turned his head reflexively and gave Song Liu a professional nod.

Song Liu slowly handed his contact information to Ge Wei, his reluctant expression revealing to any adult his desire to get closer to Su Ninglong.

They all found the boy's idea amusing, but they didn't stop him.

Song Liu was not discouraged, and a familiar smile appeared on her face. "Look, we've known each other for a while now, so strictly speaking, we're not exactly strangers, right?"

Su Ninglong turned her head: "What are you trying to say?"

With a hint of anticipation, Song Liu revealed her purpose: "Well, I heard from Sally that you guys often have small gatherings, which are quite interesting. Could I... join in the fun sometime?"

Not far away, Song Hu took in Song Liu's direct approach with an expressionless face.

He silently commented to himself: "My cousin is really a bit of a social butterfly."

“You can come if you want, but you’ll have to contribute a share of star coins as part of the event expenses. It’s fair.” Su Ninglong said matter-of-factly.

Song Liu responded with a bright smile: "Absolutely."

He raised his chin at Song Hu with a hint of smugness, as if showing off his social breakthrough.

Song Hu: "..." He really succeeded!
Midway through the banquet, several important business cooperation intentions were initially reached, and a positive business atmosphere permeated the air.

Many guests discussed that if Lei Zong's "Spiritualist Project" could be successfully held, it would surely attract more heavyweight investments, and the future looked bright.

But smart and prudent investors prefer to wait and see rather than be the first to try something new.

When nature calls, Su Ninglong, being very safety-conscious, told Lei Qingya and Yun Fei, "I need to go to the restroom."

Lei Qingya and Yun Fei immediately responded, "Perfect timing, let's go too."

They led Su Ninglong to the restroom.

I encountered several waiters on the street, and their smiles were all identical, using the same template—polite but distant.

Lei Qingya turned around and saw a female waitress hurrying out of the restroom.

As it happened, the women's restroom was marked as temporarily closed. Yun Fei awkwardly asked, "Shall we go to another floor?"

This is the only way.

"Is there only one restroom on this floor?" Su Ninglong asked doubtfully. "Don't you guys think my trip here was particularly smooth?"

Yun Fei teased, "Do you encounter danger every time you go out?"

"It usually doesn't happen on the way home, but accidents are more likely to happen when I'm out and about." Su Ninglong is rather superstitious, believing in the strange luck that this universe has bestowed upon her.

Let her have a little challenge every time she goes out.

"You said before that you shouldn't define others or yourself." Yun Fei remembered that Su Ninglong had said before dealing with the Gathering Throat that Lian Xinyi should not be called "Moldy Lian".

Su Ninglong certainly knew what she had said, but her soul was not from this world, so she couldn't explain it clearly.

The mountaintop clubhouse has only three floors and plenty of restrooms. The restrooms here are conveniently located not far from the elevator; just go down one floor and you'll find them.

Lei Qingya has a bit of a phobia of elevators, but with Yun Fei by her side, she figured nothing would happen.

The elevator doors opened and closed, descending, then opened again, and they arrived at the next floor without any problems. As soon as Su Ninglong and Yun Fei stepped out, they sensed something was wrong; it was very cold, a chill that hit them like the back of their hand.

It was eerily cold, like a cold storage room.

High-end clubs wouldn't set the temperature that low.

"No way!" Is it really going to happen like this? Su Ninglong laughed at her own good luck.

Yun Fei pointed to a door in front of him, and the cold air was coming from there.

Water droplets seeped through the entire door panel.

"Should we open the door and take a look?" Lei Qingya was only wearing earrings; he hadn't taken the anchor or the defensive artifact.

“What we need might be weapons.” As soon as Yun Fei finished speaking, a sound like a wild beast snoring came from inside the door.

The air was silent, and everyone's gaze involuntarily focused on Su Ninglong. Just as she had said, it was impossible for her to leave the house so smoothly.

Su Ninglong looked at both passageways and saw no waiters.

The straight passage was lit by only seven or eight small lights, and the cold air filled the gloomy environment, climbing up the neck and down to the tailbone.

It feels like being in a horror game scene.

Lei Qingya rubbed the back of his hand, trying to contact Xingyuan, but the signal was very bad. He tried calling twice but couldn't get through. He turned around and pressed the elevator button, but the elevator didn't respond.

"It was intentional, wasn't it?"

With so many people at the banquet, it's probably normal for one or two to get lost, and it would be difficult to hold anyone accountable.

"Is my dad being set up?" Lei Qingya asked, "Who did they offend by putting 'Spiritual Heroes' on the big screen?"

“Offending the Star Alliance,” Yun Fei said sarcastically. “There’s almost no need to make excuses, because the Star Alliance advocates separating hunters from ordinary people, so they want to stop this kind of spiritualist variety show.”

If Yun Fei weren't a high-ranking member of the Star Alliance, Lei Qingya would have thought he was the Star Alliance's number one hater.

He can speak fluently without needing to think it through.

On the other hand, I feel sorry for Yun Fei. The Star Alliance must have been framed many times before, and he is so experienced.

"Don't worry, after a while, Xingyuan and Assistant Liang will notify someone to come and check." Yun Fei produced the beautiful, flawless sword in his hand.

"How did you bring them in?" Lei Qingya couldn't help but wonder. He turned to look at his boss, who now had five, six, seven, or eight small knives and firearms in his hands.

"How exactly did you bring them in? There was a detection device when they came in."

"Just wrap it with spiritual energy."

"The Unbreakable can mimic my aura on its own."

Practical people are prepared for "battle" as soon as they go out, and Su Ninglong armed herself like someone going on a long journey in the cultivation world.

"Should I go upstairs and inform them?"

"Aren't you afraid of leaving rashly and encountering obstacles?" Yun Fei pointed at the elevator. "The fact that the restrooms are marked as 'out of service' is probably not a coincidence. I'm afraid that if you go to the emergency exit, you might encounter an ambush and expose us instead."

Lei Qingya: "..."

This sense of crisis is truly remarkable.

Sure enough, a short while later, police car lights flashed outside the window. Assistant Liang and Xingyuan were really reliable; they immediately reported Yun Fei missing, and the police and military were dispatched.

The elevator buttons returned to normal, and the manager immediately called Yunfei.

The face on the screen had high cheekbones, thin and sunken cheeks, and eyes that revealed shrewdness and worldliness.

"Mr. Yun, through the surveillance footage, we saw that you and your friend were trapped on the first floor. We apologize; it was our mistake and our service was inadequate. The elevator has been malfunctioning recently, and we have already applied to the higher-ups for a replacement. The problem has now been fixed. If you are worried that the elevator might malfunction again, you can find the emergency exit. There are stairs at both ends of the corridor leading up to the elevator. We will compensate you for your emotional distress."

"Is he trying to call us idiots? Why don't we use the emergency exit and insist on waiting for the elevator? Are we stupid? Nobody invited to this banquet is stupid, right? What are we waiting here for? To deliberately call the police and smear them? This manager didn't even come down to check. Is he hiding something? Is he hiding something?"

Su Ninglong rattled off a string of words from the side, causing the high-cheekbone manager to choke. "I'm sorry, I didn't express myself clearly. The floor below has been booked by a client for a month, and our employees are not allowed to go down to that floor without permission. Please forgive my inappropriate wording just now."

"If you and your staff can't come down, then call the Star Police and Hunters down." Yun Fei hung up the call, and then Assistant Liang's communication appeared on the screen.

"Old Yun, are you going to work overtime for free again? I rarely wear a formal suit out, it's really expensive."

"All he talks about all day is Star Coins. Send people down to do the work, evacuate the crowd. There's something big here."

Assistant Liang clicked his tongue and got back to work.

Since the banquet was already more than halfway through, we could leave without any problems.

The manager's face was flushed, and the handkerchief on his forehead was damp at one corner. After arriving at the banquet hall, he immediately looked for Assistant Liang. "Assistant Liang, this is a property of the Yuan Du family. I hope you won't make a big fuss. People who damage Yuan Du's reputation will not have a good ending. In the future, everyone in the business world will need connections to make a living, right?"

“I can’t live without my network of connections, not without you.” Assistant Liang made a practiced arm gesture, signaling to his Star Alliance colleagues and Star Police to clear the area.

"That's not what I meant. I meant you could be gentler and let Mr. Lei finish this..."

At this moment, Mr. Lei and his mother walked quickly by, their bodyguards escorting them as they fled the scene.

"Manager, inform everyone that the banquet is over. Send over the bill for any remaining expenses, provided that no one at the venue gets hurt." As decisive as his surname suggests, President Lei vanished after speaking.

“Isn’t saving everyone’s lives also a way of protecting the business community?” Assistant Liang straightened his suit. “Assistant Ge, you take Song Liu and leave. Xingyuan, Song Hu, and I will stay and help.”

The Star Alliance personnel took over the club in an orderly manner. The club manager's cheek twitched. He should have known better than to accept this event. He had only managed to secure the order to increase the club's visibility, and it might just become the end of his career in the blink of an eye.

Upon hearing that there had been some trouble downstairs, the guests quickly and orderly left. Arya boarded Alice's hovercar and remained suspended in the air, not leaving.

Many young people choose to do this because the view from the mountaintop is not only better, but also provides a wider field of vision in case anything happens, making it easier to escape quickly.

Several reporters were unwilling to leave, and Mao Xi, an internet celebrity and reporter, mingled among them. He saw Xing Yuan and Su Ninglong at the banquet.

These two once created the most viewers in his live stream history.

He was about to go over and say hello.

However, after being overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of the young ladies, their aura of keeping strangers at bay stopped him from taking the initiative. Only when he leaned against the car window did he dare to mention the two of them.
