Shadows of the Deep Space-Chapter 130: Intercepting (First Update)

However, just at that moment, the door to the conference room was pushed open.

Su Ming walked in and spoke indifferently to Lin Chuyu.

"Chuyu, don’t listen to their nonsense; they’re trying to trick you. The Wind Chaser Mecha isn’t that expensive." freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

"Su Ming?"

Lin Chuyu was slightly taken aback.

"Who let you in! What do you know?"

Wei Cheng saw Su Ming barge in and disrupt the meeting, and he immediately became furious and scolded him.

"I do know. Chuyu, if you want the Wind Chaser Mecha, I can help you order it for only 2.5 billion."

Su Ming completely ignored Wei Cheng and others, smiling as he spoke to Lin Chuyu.

He had already figured it out; since he didn’t care for the Wind Chaser Mecha, he might as well sell the slot to Lin Chuyu.

This way, he could make a profit of 1 billion Federation coins, which was a tremendous amount of money.

As for his own mecha, he could save up a bit more money and buy a better one all at once.

"Really?"

Lin Chuyu asked in utter surprise.

"Chuyu, don’t listen to his nonsense. 2.5 billion Federation coins, where would you even order that?"

Wei Han advised with a stern face.

Wei Cheng was beside himself with laughter, as if watching a fool.

"Where did this arrogant kid come from, 2.5 billion price! Who do you think you are? Even I can’t get that price."

"Just because you can’t get it, doesn’t mean our young master can’t."

At that moment, Jiang Yu saw that the timing was right and stepped forward.

"Manager Jiang Yu!"

Upon seeing Jiang Yu, Wei Cheng’s earlier arrogance vanished and his face showed a panicked expression.

Although Manager Jiang Yu wasn’t in his department, Jiang Yu held a very high position in the company. Moreover, he was not just a regular employee; Jiang Yu was considered a retainer of the Su Family.

The most important point was that Manager Jiang Yu referred to the young man as young master, which indicated that Su Ming was part of the Su Family.

"Don’t address me; from now on, you are fired, go to human resources to process your severance. As for the reason, it’s for abusing your authority to create fraudulent contracts and embezzle money. Of course, that’s not the most important issue. The utterly unforgivable part is your blatant disrespect towards the young master, challenging the authority of the Su Family to the extreme!"

Jiang Yu glared at Wei Cheng powerfully, his late entrance intended to expose Wei Cheng’s offense towards Su Ming, paving the way for him to intervene.

Wei Cheng suddenly felt darkness before his eyes, struggling to stand.

"Uncle, are you alright?"

Wei Han anxiously supported Wei Cheng.

Lin Chuyu watched the scene unfold and sighed softly, then she said to Wei Han,

"Wei Han, I considered you a friend, but you never treated me as one. From now on, we are strangers."

"Chuyu, listen to me, it’s all a misunderstanding."

Wei Han hastily tried to defend himself, hoping to gloss over the matter.

If Lin Chuyu were to spread the word about today’s events, his life at school would be over.

Furthermore, Lin Chuyu had been admitted to the inner school, with limitless potential for the future. Holding a grudge against her would be troublesome, not to mention that he had hoped to pursue her.

"No need to explain."

Lin Chuyu said decisively.

Upon hearing Lin Chuyu’s words, Wei Han’s face immediately turned ashen.

Wei Cheng took a deep breath and slowly said to Jiang Yu,

"Manager Jiang Yu, I am actually doing this for the company. With the recent downturn in profits, I thought about selling at a high price."

"Don’t use the company as an excuse. The company’s sales prices over the years have always been based on a guide price of 300 million, never exceeding 280 million. You are not doing this for the company but for yourself. Your actions are also tarnishing the company’s reputation."

Jiang Yu straightforwardly exposed Wei Cheng’s lie.

"Manager Jiang Yu, we are not from the same department. Aren’t you overstepping your authority? And what you are doing is likely not according to the rules; surely someone will object."

Wei Cheng said, his face turning ugly.

He indirectly reminded Jiang Yu that he had backing and shouldn’t reach too far.

Jiang Yu responded uncompromisingly,

"The company’s rules and regulations don’t need to be repeated by me. If you think my words don’t have credibility, I won’t hesitate to report to the old man and let him decide."

"Fine, fine, fine! Wei Han, let’s go!"

Wei Cheng, pushed to the brink, responded with a laugh of despair.

Wei Han, also pale, followed Wei Cheng out of the conference room.

As the two walked away, Wei Han, full of worries, asked Wei Cheng,

"Uncle, what will you do now? You’re not really going to be fired, are you?"

"It won’t be that easy to fire me. I’m going to see the second young master now. You go back to school,"

Wei Cheng said to Wei Han, his expression uncertain.

"Okay."

Wei Han nodded repeatedly.

....

In the conference room, once the matter seemed resolved, Jiang Yu spoke to Su Ming,

"Young master, could you please step outside? I need to speak with you."

"Chuyu, wait for me here."

Su Ming instructed Lin Chuyu, then followed Jiang Yu out of the conference room.

Jiang Yu took Su Ming to a corner and said in a lowered voice,

"Young master, dealing with Wei Cheng’s issue is easy, but the 250 million price you promised Miss Chuyu is a bit problematic. The company rarely goes that low, and you even have to prioritize the order; I’m afraid..."

"You don’t need to worry about that, the old man has agreed to give me one for the cost price of 150 million and to prioritize it! I do not plan on using the Wind Chaser, so I thought of transferring it to her to make a profit of 100 million Federation dollars."

Su Ming briefly explained to Jiang Yu.

About the Mecha purchase, Su Ming also had his considerations.

Su-style Wind Chaser mainly focused on speed and long-range attacks, leaving much to be desired in other performance aspects. However, the Green Wing Mecha, worth 800 million, excelled in speed, long-range, defense, and close combat.

Thus, Su Ming decided to set his sights on this Mecha.

However, purchasing the Green Wing Mecha was not so straightforward, available as it was in the school’s marketplace.

To buy from the school’s marketplace, one must complete three academy missions, which wasn’t so easy.

Otherwise, Lin Chuyu wouldn’t have sought to purchase directly from the manufacturer.

Of course, even if the purchasing conditions were stringent, buying from within the school had its advantages, since Mechas sold outside—if one didn’t have reliable help—were almost always at a premium, not to mention a highly sought-after Third Generation Mecha like the Green Wings.

Additionally, Su Ming had considered the worst-case scenario; if he couldn’t amass 800 million Federation dollars, he’d settle for Third Generation Mecha·Gun Knight.

After all, this Mecha used guns, which he found easy to handle.

Therefore, he thought of transferring the order to Lin Chuyu, earning a profit from the price difference while also lending her a hand.

"Good, it seems the young master has grand ambitions."

After hearing Su Ming’s plan, Jiang Yu showed a radiant smile, growing even more appreciative of his student.
