Chapter 287 - Voting
Chapter 287 of "Destiny Mission of game ‘Star Ring'" begins with suspenseful moments: “How many indicators did he duplicate?”“That means leveraging 120 billion funds.This is not a small... Don’t miss it!
“How many indicators did he duplicate?”
“That means leveraging 120 billion funds.
This is not a small amount.
Up to now, only the top few on the wealth list can pull out this much money.
But they don’t have good enough teeth, and they might bite off more than they can chew.
However, if it was a joint venture, the news would have leaked by now.
Who could it be then?
No, there’s one person.”
The old Council President seemed to recall something.
“Who?”
Tang Qin asked curiously.
“I know who it is now.
You don’t need to worry about this.
Focus all your efforts on the upcoming Earth Cup, that’s the main event.”
The old Council President replied calmly.
Just then, Tang Qin’s cellphone vibrated.
She picked it up, glanced at it, and said to the old Council President,
“Council President, there’s an urgent remote Federation video conference that requires your attendance.”
“Hmm, let’s get ready.”
The Council President nodded slightly.
Suddenly having a meeting at this crucial juncture didn’t seem like good news.
A moment later, the remote video conference began, and virtual images of representatives from various parties started connecting one after another.
After a round of polite greetings, the Council President of the Freedom Victory Guild, a spirited and solemn old man, took the lead to speak, “Before the meeting officially begins, I have a proposal that requires a full vote.
Someone has deliberately created financial turbulence, preparing a huge sum of money to bottom-fish at the gold points.
Such speculative behavior is utterly disgraceful and also disrupts market fairness.
Therefore, I reapply to access the internal transaction data of the Federation Bank.”
Listening to the other party’s speech, the old Council President also felt it was quite ironic, these days, vultures have the nerve to accuse crows of eating carrion.
“Voting begins!”
“Agreed!”
“Agreed!”
A consecutive series of personnel raised their hands in agreement.
Just then, the old Council President hoarsely spoke, “Veto!”
Hearing this, the face of Augustus from the Freedom Victory Guild looked as if he had swallowed a fly.
“Veto passed, voting over!”
The officer in charge declared calmly.
To access the internal data of the Federation Bank, all five key members must unanimously agree.
If even one vetoes, voting is unnecessary.
“I say Long Ming, nice move, hogging it all to yourself without inviting us.”
Augustus’s face twitched.
It couldn’t be more obvious now.
Since the Sky Dragon Guild cast a dissenting vote, it was clear they were behind this.
Long Ming was also a bit puzzled, this really had nothing to do with him.
But explaining would probably be useless; no one would believe it.
Of course, the reason Long Ming initiated a veto was that the gold points were flowing into the country.
No matter what, it was a good thing.
It’s always better for locals to benefit rather than outsiders.
“Well then, let’s proceed with the meeting.”
The next day, Su Mo was still in bed, sleeping.
Bang bang!
“Who is it?”
Su Mo, groggily awake, asked.
“It’s us.
Can we come in?”
“Come in.”
Su Mo sat up.
The door was pushed open, and Han Na and Zhang Wenjing entered.
“This early.”
Su Mo yawned and said.
He had been up all night browsing forums under his blankets.
The whole forum was as lively as ever.
Almost all the posts were about the gold points, with over seventy percent of them criticizing whoever bought out the gold points, regardless of which camp the players were from.
Su Mo found it exceptionally interesting, having become public enemy number one.
“What do you mean this early?
It’s already the afternoon, and you’ve been asleep for over twelve hours,”
Han Na retorted.
“Alright, what’s up?”
“Here’s the thing, you know the casualties are increasing.
A lot of people have left the company already.
Once the Earth Cup starts, even more are expected to leave.
Frankly, our gaming career might be coming to an end.”
“Don’t talk so gloomily.
After the Earth Cup, isn’t there still the Heavenly Cup?”
Su Mo sighed in response.
“The Earth Cup hurt us so bad, who knows what the Heavenly Cup will be like.
Let’s not talk about that anymore.
We think since it’s rare for us to be together, why not treat ourselves to a good meal?”
“Sure.”
Su Mo nodded in agreement.
“But after thinking it over a few times, everyone is pretty broke recently, so how about we buy groceries and cook at home?
It’s both good and cheaper.”
Han Na proposed.
“I have no problem with that.”
Su Mo responded casually.
“Since there’s no problem, get up quickly and come grocery shopping with us, we could use an extra hand.”
Han Na said with a sly smile.
“Do you need to buy a lot?
Do you really need me to go?”
Su Mo asked somewhat perplexed.
Zhang Wenjing replied coldly from the side, “She wants to buy wine, by the box….”
Hearing this, Su Mo frowned and looked at Han Na, wondering if this whole arrangement was just because she wanted to drink.
“Don’t look at me like that, get up quickly….”
Han Na pulled Su Mo out of bed.
In the evening, the three of them returned to the apartment, carrying bags full of groceries.
Su Mo took a long breath, and even for someone as fit as him, the shopping spree was a bit too much, given Han Na and the others’ purchasing power.
“Not bad, Su Mo!
Your stamina is quite good.
That’s a plus.”
Han Na praised Su Mo cheerfully.
“Next time, please don’t include me in such things.”
Su Mo sighed.
“Just when I praised you, you act all stingy.”
Just then, the doorbell rang.
Ding Dong!
“It must be Sister Zi Qing and the others returning.”
Han Na said excitedly.
“That’s not right, Zi Qing told me they’d be late, The Crane Orchid still needs some tidying up.”
Zhang Wenjing was also somewhat puzzled.
“Why care so much, Su Mo, you go open the door.”
Han Na yelled at Su Mo.
Su Mo walked up to the door and opened it to see Lin Zinuo standing there with a beaming smile looking at Su Mo.
“Hi!”
“What brings you here?”
Su Mo asked in a rather unromantic manner.
Lin Zinuo’s expression immediately turned gloomy, and she retorted, “Can’t I come here?”
“Sister Zinuo?”
Zhang Wenjing and Han Na also approached, surprised to see Lin Zinuo.
Lin Zinuo coughed and, picking up some envelopes, said to Han Na and the others, “Here are your salary envelopes, I brought them back on my way.”
“Wow, salary time!”
Han Na jumped up excitedly.
“But wait, it’s only mid-month, isn’t it too soon for salary day?”
Zhang Wenjing asked very confused.
Lin Zinuo explained reluctantly, “No choice, the Legion has been in two wars recently, many were wounded, and most of the deceased had to be repositioned, so Sister Xue decided to pay the salaries early.”
“Why care so much, isn’t early salary good news?
If I’d known we were getting paid today, I would have bought more boxes of wine.”
Han Na looked quite regretful.
