Tempest of the Stellar War - Chapter 101

Chapter 101

"This opportunity is pretty decent . For the sake of Little Fortune Star, you should interact with them more," Wang Zheng said . He did not mind the childish show-offs . Regardless, with his experience, it was difficult for him to have any sort of reaction to such trivial matters .

"Don't worry, leave it to me . I was just thinking of inviting investments!" Yan Xiaosu was now qualified to do so .

The ballroom was bustling with activity . Everyone was part of a group, chatting away . Although it had only been months since they last saw one another, many of them had undergone drastic changes .

Wang Zheng enjoyed watching from afar . He couldn't hear what they were talking about, but it felt like water from a stream flowing past . In the hundreds of billions of people who lived, it was the chanced coinciding of time and space that allowed them to meet . Fate of such was never easy to come by .

All of a sudden, Wang Zheng's soul was enlightened and brought into a whole new world full of clarity .

Student Wang was stumped . Attending a reunion actually helped to improve his unifying techniques! His progress had stagnated for sometime now, and this moment meant breaking through a bottleneck .

It was an extremely unique feeling . Training the Five Elements was an accumulation of knowledge and skills . In becoming one with the world, Wang Zheng could only do so on the facade . It was difficult for him to achieve what Bonehead had described - unifying his soul . In fact, Wang Zheng had wanted to ask: how do you unify your soul with the world? Extract it and mash it all together?

But asking would probably mean being electrocuted . Wang Zheng was not stupid .

Yet he felt it right at this moment . To machines like Bonehead, it was indeed indescribable . It was a feeling beyond any words of any language .

"Wang Zheng! Wang Zheng!'

The calls from the world outside pulled Wang Zheng back from that feeling . His vision gradually became clear .

Wang Zheng sighed to himself . If only he could experience it for a while longer . But with such revelry, there was bound to be more opportunities in future .

"You're…?"

He found the man standing before him familiar, but . . .

"Hot damn! Disowning me now that you're a war god?"

Wang Zheng turned to stone . "That can't be! Shao Junzhe? A nerf gun turned into a cannon? "

Shao Junzhe burst into laughter . "Pretty good, eh? My new look . I'm an elite student from the Michigan School of Business now, so I can't possibly continue to behave like the hooligan I used to be . "

Shao Junzhe was one of the few who got along well with Wang Zheng and Yan Xiaosu . The dude was obsessed with gaming . He used to wear a fowl's nest on his head and looked like a creepy otaku . Now he was dressed in fancy suit, coupled with a pair of silver snake-framed glasses . He had turned into a suave young man .

Shao Junzhe looked at Wang Zheng . "You haven't changed . Hey, I heard your brother Yan Xiaosu struck it rich! He's gotta look after us in the future, man!"

Ye Zisu was at a level beyond reach . Now that Little Fortune Star had risen meteorically and has a bright future ahead, the finance students had to stick their noses in .

"You're exaggerating!" Wang Zheng was taken by surprise . How did word of this news spread so far and wide? It seemed like everyone knew about it .

"What do you mean 'you're exaggerating'? Bro, grow some money sense! Little Fortune Star isn't much, but you think about it . They're standing on par with OMG, CT, and Magard! Right now, the company's scraps alone are worth hundreds of millions! Tsk tsk . That shorty is in luck!"

Shao Junzhe looked on in envy . The expansion of big companies was no longer worth studying, but small companies like Little Fortune Star were definitely miracles in the business world . It managed to outperform dozens of large-scale corporations .

"What are you boys talking about? Here, Wang Zheng, try this sugar-apple . It's really sweet . "

Lu Xin held out a fruit platter .

"Oh no, Lu Xin! It's only been a few months and you've grown curvier! How curvy will you get in the future?"

"Go away! Are you asking for a beating, Little Jun?"

"It seems like everyone's doing pretty well . " Wang Zhang helped himself to a slice of sugar-apple . It was indeed fragrant and sweet . Fresh fruits like this were hard to come by these days .

"What about you? Same college as Ye Zisu, eh? Didn't you try to bring it a step further?" Lu Xin asked, treating it like a gossip .

"Uh, why would you say that?"

Based on the present situation, he and Ye Zisu were like missed high-fives .

"Hush, this is a secret . I used to frequently catch her in the field, watching you train from afar," Lu Xin whispered .

Wang Zheng was sweating slightly . This room truly didn't seem to have any ventilation .

"Ah? What were you doing there when Ye Zisu was peeping?" Shao Junzhe asked subconsciously .

Lu Xin flushed . "I passed by . "

She clenched her teeth and suddenly said, "It's no big deal, I had a crush on Wang Zheng a while back . "

It was just a reunion, and they were no longer in the same school, so it was natural that she felt a lot braver than she used to .

Wang Zheng chuckled . "Well, you failed miserably . I didn't even notice you had a crush!"

"It's you who's slow! Do you remember the time I asked you to fix the lights in my dormitory?" Lu Xin said . It was more appropriate to talk about such things during these kinds of reunions . Lu Xin's eyes hid a trace of bitterness .

"I do! Didn't I get it fixed?" Wang Zheng was puzzled . How was that considered a crush? But he also thought it odd that Lu Xin knew he could fix it .

"Dumbass! I burnt a hole in my pocket to buy a meal for the girls in my dorm to make them go away!"

Shao Junzhe roared with laughter . "Bro, I can only say that out of all the people I know, you've got the lowest EQ . She spoiled her lights on purpose to create a romantic atmosphere for you, and you really, really fixed it? Sigh, the beauty's love has gone to waste . "

Wang Zheng did not know whether to laugh or cry . His thoughts had never, ever ventured into that area . It was only right that he stuck out a helping hand for a classmate .

"Yours truly is attached now . You missed your chance at a perfect girl like me, so you better take good hold of the next one!"

Lu Xin still felt something for him . Wang Zheng did not come from a rich family, and his results at school was average . But his serious attitude still attracted some girls .

"Cough cough . Let me know who's got a crush on me next time . " Wang Zheng sighed, wearing a look of pity .

"Well, it's said that you break up couples as much as you can at class reunions . Don't tell me the two of you are rekindling old flames . " Shao Junzhe made a face .

Wang Zheng and Lu Xin flipped him off at the same time .

Lu Xin was one of few girls who knew Wang Zheng well . Most of the girls never had a conversation with him in the four years of school .

"Wang Zheng, come clean with me . Did you always hover somewhere along the passing line on purpose?"

Lu Xin was very curious . "I've been contemplating about this for a long time, but I don't think you are the sort that'd do that . "

"Lu Xin, you're rubbing salt on his wound! It's not as if you don't know about his situation! Many people also perform well during exams when they are relaxed . "

Shao Junzhe was rather expressive .

Wang Zheng was speechless . "Are you two even human? Can't you let me off the hook now that we've graduated?"

"No way!"

A voice rang . Ye Zisu joined them .

"Ah, Zisu, here, have a seat, have a seat, here . "

Even though she was the star of the show, Ye Zisu had actually noticed them in the corner! Shao Junzhe was pretty excited .

OMG Corporation had been under the spotlight recently . Unlike Little Fortune Star, OMG had a very strong foundation . Being a mecha repair service provider, OMG had always wanted to venture into research and manufacturing . Now that they had come on board CT's and Magard's cruise ship, the financial world predicted OMG would soar . If there were to be breakthroughs in research, being one of the larger shareholders, they had plenty of say at the negotiation table .

Ye Zisu was naturally watched and paid attention to .

Lu Xin was taken aback, but she smiled .

"Lu Xin, don't be tricked by his honest appearance . This person is the meanest of the lot! He's a wolf in sheep's clothings . "

"Classmate Ye, I am Shao Junzhe . Thank you for inviting me to this reunion . "

"We're classmates, you don't have to thank me . Top Student of Michigan, hmm . There might be opportunities for us to work together in the future . "

Ye Zisu laughed . Shao Junzhe couldn't feel more pumped up . When did the school belle become so friendly and approachable?

Women's sixth sense could sniff anything . Lu Xin could sense that there was something between Ye Zisu and Wang Zheng .

"Wang Zheng, you're much closer to Ye Zisu than we are now . You've got to spend more time with her! She's asked me about you back in middle school," Lu Xin revealed .

Wang Zheng knew that Lu Xin was doing this on purpose . This loud-mouthed girl had a kind heart .

On the other hand, Shao Junzhe felt nervous . He was worried that Ye Zisu would be offended . Even though they were classmates, she was not an ordinary person . Opportunities to improve their relationships were hard to come by, and it would be disastrous if the Little Princess was angered . These days, if he were to tell his tutors that he knew Ye Zisu well, it would definitely be a big deal .

"Lu Xin, you and your big mouth . Don't spout nonsense . " Shao Junzhe tried to make things less awkward . Kidding around in private was one thing, as it'd be forgotten after a while . But Ye Zisu had a different status .

Before Lu Xin could talk back, Ye Zisu chuckled . "It's true . I've wooed him all the way to Ares College . But what can I possibly do if others choose to ignore me?" Ye Zisu said half jokingly . The hard, anguished look in her eyes melted away .

The two companions they had were utterly shocked . Shao Junzhe stared hard at Wang Zheng . "Bro, you're truly my idol . "

"Zisu is making fun of me! You can't possibly believe that is true . " Wang Zheng laughed .

The speaker's intent differs from the listeners' . He now referred to her as "Zisu," unlike in the past .

"Zisu, what are you doing here? Everyone's waiting for you!"

They had just sent Zhao Lingfeng on his way, and here came another .

Li An's outfit was extraordinarily fashionable . One look and you could tell it was what was in fashion on the Moon . It was easy for the Moon people to get into colleges on Earth . The scores needed were lower for them . But for people on Earth to get a place in Moon was an extraordinary feat . Some top schools even conducted family background checks .

"You guys go ahead, it doesn't matter . "

"How could you say that? I've recently drawn up a business plan and want to discuss that with you . Our success will definitely stir an uproar on the Moon," Li An said with arrogance .

"I don't take part in business matters, so there's no use talking to me," Ye Zisu said .

"You're going to inherit OMG eventually; it'll be helpful to the company's development in the future if you get to know more elites . "

Li An didn't seem to show any sign of giving up .

Lu Xin rolled her eyes . "Master Li, don't you realise that you have been rejected politely? Do what you should be doing . "

Li An took in a sharp breath, but he did not lose his temper . He smiled and said, "Talk to you later . I'll be waiting . "
