Soon, Su Mo and the others entered a very spacious and luxurious private room, inside which was placed a huge dining table capable of seating a hundred people.

Many people were already seated at the table, all of them young men and women dressed in designer clothes. They were chatting and laughing, and all spoke very well.

At this moment, they saw Xiao Jie and the others walking in and stood up to greet them.

"President Xiao is here. We've been waiting anxiously to see the host."

"Sorry, everyone, I was delayed a bit."

Xiao Jie replied with a smile.

"Oh, isn't this Qian Chengxue? I didn't expect you to come too. I was wondering why I hadn't seen Xiao Jie for so long. Turns out he was picking you up."

A woman dressed in luxurious clothes said with a smile.

"Xiao En, hello everyone, long time no see."

Qian Chengxue looked at the familiar faces present and greeted them lightly. Among them were not only people from the Zhang and Wang families, but also many of their classmates.

They basically all studied at the same academy, so their circle was quite small.

"Yes! Long time no see, come and sit down!"

Everyone present greeted her warmly.

Qian Chengxue was not polite and took Su Mo and the others directly to their seats. Xiao Jie then sat in the main seat and gestured slightly to the waiter next to him. The waiter immediately understood and left to prepare the dishes.

Xiao En, who took the lead in greeting Qian Chengxue, asked Xiao Jie with a smile.

"Xiao Jie, aren't you going to introduce everyone present?"

"Of course, I'll introduce you. This is Ye Wuhen, the deputy general manager of Dawn Corporation, Ye Xue's eldest brother, and the future heir of Dawn Corporation."

Xiao Jie first solemnly introduced Ye Wuhen.

"President Ye, hello!"

Everyone stood up to greet him.

"You're too kind."

Ye Wuhen responded with a smile.

Xiao Jie continued, pointing to a somewhat frail young man and introducing him, "This is Zhang Bensheng, the third young master of the Zhang family..."

......

Su Mo listened to them exchanging pleasantries with a great deal of boredom, unable to muster any interest. The people sitting here should be the so-called upper class.

The only thing that Su Mo found interesting was Tang Zhi. This woman's methods were not bad. She actually managed to climb up through Ye Jing and kept staring at Xiao Jie the whole time.

Soon, the door to the private room was pushed open, and waiters came in carrying the finest delicacies.

The huge dining table was quickly filled with hundreds of dishes. At the same time, waiters opened top-quality baijiu (white liquor) and red wine, pouring drinks for everyone. Of course, those who didn't want to drink alcohol were offered beverages instead. For example, Qian Chengxue directly refused the waiter's offer of wine.

As the host, Xiao Jie stood up, raised his glass, and toasted everyone present, "Thank you all very much for giving Xiao Jie face and attending tonight. I won't say much about my gratitude. If you ever need my help, Xiao Jie, just say the word! I, Xiao Jie, will do my best. I'll drink this cup first as a toast!"

Then Xiao Jie drank it all in one gulp.

Everyone present applauded, and Xiao En took the lead in saying, "With President Xiao's words, we've made a great profit. Who doesn't know that you're not what you used to be now, President Xiao?"

"That's right, you're a top-notch rich man now."

......

"You're all too kind, my dear classmates and friends. Let's not talk about those things between us, let's just talk about friendship!"

Xiao Jie replied in a very eloquent manner.

"That's a good saying, let's just talk about friendship tonight..."

......

The atmosphere at the scene became even more harmonious.

Su Mo picked up his chopsticks and started eating. He didn't know many people here, and even if he did, he couldn't be bothered to exchange pleasantries. There was nothing he could do about it; different life circles and environments had created a situation where he had no interest in this sort of thing at all.

So, it was better to eat. He tried a few dishes and found that the taste was very good.

Lin Zinuo, who was sitting next to him, picked up a piece of silver cod for Su Mo and said to him in a friendly manner, "Try this."

Su Mo tried it.

"Not bad."

Lin Zinuo directly rolled her eyes at Su Mo: "What do you mean 'not bad'? This dish alone costs tens of thousands, it's really extravagant. This meal, not counting the drinks, will cost at least two or three million. Ah~, it's really infuriating to compare people to each other. I didn't expect Xiao Jie to be doing so well now."

"Wasn't he doing well before?"

Su Mo asked casually while eating.

"It's not that he wasn't doing well, but he used to be even worse off than Xue-jie (older sister Xue), belonging to the kind who was at the bottom of the family. The things inside wealthy families are similar to what's shown in TV dramas; if you're not favored, that's just how it is. But look at him now, how rich he must be. He's giving away luxury cars, issuing black diamond cards, and treating people to such extravagant meals."

Lin Zinuo said with a sigh.

"Oh."

Su Mo continued to bury himself in his food.

Lin Zinuo saw that Su Mo didn't react at all and gave Su Mo a contemptuous look.

"I've told you so much, don't you feel inspired, full of energy, and ready to work hard and create a career for yourself?"

"No, I just want to be a salted fish."

Su Mo was not moved at all.

"I despise you..."

"No need to despise me. Although the Star Ring is full of opportunities, it's not something everyone can do to extract such great benefits from it. That requires heaven-defying luck, and more importantly, a cold heart."

Su Mo narrowed his eyes as he spoke.

"That makes sense. Wait, what do you mean by your last sentence? Don't tell me you suspect that Xiao Jie's money came from somewhere that's not quite right."

"I didn't say that."

"Now that you mention it, it makes a lot of sense. We've been stationed in the Star Ring for so long, and even with Xue-jie's strong abilities, we're almost losing money. This guy, on the other hand, is making a fortune. There's definitely something wrong with that. Of course, I'm not jealous. I've heard that many large financial groups don't withdraw from the Star Ring even though they're losing money, and that's in order to launder some money..."

Lin Zinuo said to Su Mo in a low voice.

Su Mo suddenly and subtly kicked Lin Zinuo's foot.

Lin Zinuo reacted quickly and quickly shut her mouth. She saw that Ye Jing had actually come over with wine.

He said to Lin Zinuo and Su Mo with a smile, "It's rare to meet here. If you don't mind, would you give me the honor of having a drink with you?"

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

"Of course, there's no problem. Ye Jing, I've heard that you're doing quite well reselling supplies in the Star Ring."

Lin Zinuo drank the red wine in her glass in one gulp and replied with a grin.

Ye Jing said very smoothly, "That's not the case. I'm just trying to make a living. Of course, Zinuo-jie (older sister Zinuo), if you have any Star Ring supplies you don't need, you can sell them to me as a package deal. You have to take care of my business, right?"

The reason why Ye Jing didn't try to build a relationship with Qian Chengxue was very simple: they were relatives, and he knew Qian Chengxue's temperament better than anyone else.

Lin Zinuo's group was mainly responsible for supplies, so who else would he try to get close to? Of course, he wasn't yet aware that Lin Zinuo's group had been reformed.

"I will if I have any."

Lin Zinuo said with a smile.

"Then I'll go toast Zhao Han-jie (older sister Zhao). You guys eat slowly."

Ye Jing explained with a smile and walked towards Zhao Han.
