Chapter 98: Chapter 98: Great Expectations (Extra for the leader singing a love song) (4th update)

Su Ming walked up to his desk and picked up a mecha model to look at, his lips curling slightly upward. It seemed his father had also been quite fond of these in his childhood.

"Young Master was very obsessed with these in his childhood. When he first applied for school, he chose the mecha program, but unfortunately, it seems he lacked the talent,"

Jiang Yu said with some emotion.

"So that’s how it was,"

Su Ming responded with a smile.

"Young master, this is for you."

Jiang Yu thought for a moment, picked up a personal business card, and handed it to Su Ming.

Su Ming took it and glanced at it, only to see printed on it, Thunder Interstellar Heavy Industry Group·Technical Development Director·Jiang Yu.

Then Jiang Yu continued with a smile to Su Ming.

"I usually work in the Su Family’s main office building. If you need anything, Young Master, you can come directly to the company to find me."

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Jiang."

Su Ming replied respectfully.

Knock Knock~

At that moment, a knock on the door sounded.

"Come in!"

Su Ming said, somewhat surprised.

Creak!

The door was pushed open and the An Ke butler walked in, bowing slightly to Su Ming before saying politely,

"Young master, the old master would like you to visit his study."

Seeing this, Jiang Yu then said to Su Ming,

"Young master, since the old patriarch is calling for you, I shall take my leave."

"Mr. Jiang, take care."

Su Ming nodded slightly and then followed the An Ke butler out.

...

Before long, Su Ming followed An Ke to the door of the study.

An Ke opened the tightly shut door of the study, making a gesture of invitation.

Su Ming took a deep breath and then walked into the study.

In the study, Su Zhen Tian was holding a report and looking at it, his eyebrows nearly twisted into a mess of code.

"Grandpa."

Su Ming approached the desk and called out respectfully.

Hearing Su Ming’s voice, Su Zhen Tian put down the document in his hands and said with a smile,

"Su Ming, come to your grandfather’s side."

Su Ming walked up next to Su Zhen Tian and glanced at the summary report on the table.

He realized it was a financial summary report, and most importantly, it showed a loss.

At the bottom of the table were two lines of items highlighted in red.

"Uncompensated provision of ten Second Generation Mechas·Raiders to Thirteenth District."

"Uncompensated provision of one Third Generation Mecha·Wind Chaser to Imperial Court Sect."

...

Upon seeing these two items, Su Ming’s lips twitched involuntarily. The Su Family’s deficit this year was likely due to these two expenditures.

The first was to cover for his father, and the second was probably also for wiping someone in the family’s mess.

It really wasn’t easy being the head of the family; no wonder the old man had such a volatile temper.

"Su Ming, when are you going to school?"

Su Zhen Tian looked at Su Ming and asked.

"I’m going to register tomorrow; I might stay at the school to get familiar with the environment and come back home when I have time."

Su Ming succinctly told Su Zhen Tian.

"Good, I remember you applied for the mecha program, right?"

"Yes."

"You must study hard and don’t end up like your good-for-nothing father."

"Okay."

"You really are my good grandson. Maybe after you graduate, you and I can conquer space together and carve out our own place in the universe!"

Su Zhen Tian was very pleased as he spoke to Su Ming.

"Mm."

Looking at the delighted Su Zhen Tian, Su Ming also felt somewhat emotional. The old man was not young anymore, but his fighting spirit was even stronger than that of the young.

"There is one more thing I’d like to tell you."

"Grandpa, please speak!"

"When you get to Imperial Court Academy, you must study with peace of mind, don’t cause any trouble, nor bully anyone. Of course, if someone bullies you, you don’t need to be afraid. We aren’t afraid of confrontation, and as long as you are in the right, I will always back you up."

Su Zhen Tian gave his instructions to Su Ming very seriously.

"I understand, Grandpa."

Su Ming replied earnestly.

Su Zhen Tian sighed with emotion as he looked at such an outstanding grandson.

"If only your father had half your talent and courage."

"Grandpa, each generation has its own fortune. Although my father’s talent is somewhat lacking and he hasn’t achieved much, he’s quite content and happy with his life."

Su Ming pondered for a moment, subtly speaking up for his father.

To prevent Su Zhen Tian from getting more irritated and calling his father to scold him.

"Hmph, of course, he’s content. I’m the one who cleans up all his messes. Forget it, the more I talk about him, the angrier I get!"

Thinking of Su Yuan’s timidity, Su Zhen Tian spoke with annoyance.

"Grandpa, please calm down."

"Forget it, it’s nothing. You should head back and rest early."

"Okay, I’ll be leaving then."

Su Ming awkwardly turned and left.

...

A few minutes later, Su Ming returned to his room, opened his suitcase to take out a set of clothes for changing, and went into the bathroom for a shower.

It wasn’t long before Su Ming, dressed in his pajamas, stepped out of the bathroom, headed to the window, and prepared to draw the curtains and go to bed.

However, when he reached the window and looked out, he was completely stunned.

Above the skies, the vast expanse of starry space had been dyed a deep and rich red, with the twinkling stars shining through the red atmospheric layer, like burning gems hanging in the sky.

Su Ming was immediately captivated by the expansive red starry sky, his blood seemingly igniting within him.

Time slipped away, and the night grew darker.

...

------------------------------------

The next morning.

A black hover car sped along the expressway towards Imperial Court Academy.

Su Ming sat in the passenger seat, looking through the window at the majestic buildings that passed by.

"An Ke Butler, how much farther is it to the school?"

"Not long now, we will arrive in about half an hour. Young Master, if you feel tired, you can take a nap. I’ll wake you up when we’re almost there."

The An Ke butler spoke politely.

"No need, the scenery outside is quite nice."

Su Ming shook his head, continuing to gaze at the view outside.

Today was the enrollment day for Imperial Court Academy. Because Su Le was on his mother’s side and didn’t live at the Su Family villa, he didn’t accompany them.

As for Su Bin, he was too lazy to travel with Su Ming, asking his father Su Ying to drive him there earlier.

Therefore, the butler was alone in sending Su Ming.

However, Su Ming didn’t mind, as he didn’t particularly want too much interaction with them.

At this moment, the hover car entered a tunnel, heading underground.

"An Ke Butler, after we pass through this tunnel, will we reach the area where Imperial Court Academy is located?"

"That’s right, we’re now leaving the main urban area. Each area covered by a Dorag Sphere is connected through underground tunnels. If Young Master ever needs to leave Imperial Court Academy, you will need to use this road too."

The An Ke butler patiently explained to Su Ming.

"Mm."

Su Ming nodded.

At that moment, very cool-looking flying vehicles, filled with a sense of futuristic technology, swiftly soared over the roof and sides of the car.

They went by so fast that Su Ming couldn’t even make out the taillights of the aircraft.

"Is it okay for them to drive so fast?"

Su Ming asked with some interest.
