Destiny Mission of game 'Star Ring'

Chapter 758: Payment (Part 2)



"By the time you bring it, the yellow flowers will have cooled—truly useless. Is this the level of people transferred from this branch? And to think you were once a deputy director."

Kagan mocked bluntly.

Colleagues around them were also quietly laughing with their heads down, showing no intention of speaking up in defense.

Of course, they knew Kagan was intentionally making things difficult for Obic.

Who let that fool offend the logistics director in the Logistics Branch? Isn't this just a setup? On the surface, it's a promotion to headquarters, but in truth, it's a demotion disguised as a promotion.

Ended up with the most useless position, almost like being a gopher.

"Have you prepared the things I asked for? What's with all this commotion?"

At this moment, a tall man with thick eyebrows and a serious expression, who rarely smiled or spoke lightly, walked over and reprimanded them without mercy.

"Minister Silig, you've arrived. Most of the items you've requested are ready, just a few things left for Obic to fetch, and he botched it."

Kagan mercilessly added.

Obic bit his lip gently, feeling extremely aggrieved, but unable to refute or quarrel, as it would only worsen the situation.

After all, compared to himself, Kagan held more value and sway.

Just then, Su Mo, who had been walking and chatting with the President of Alles, suddenly stopped.

Seeing Su Mo stop, Alles asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?"

Su Mo quickly smiled and said, "Oh, nothing. I just saw an old acquaintance."

"Oh, who?"

Alles looked over, following Su Mo's gaze with interest.

He immediately spotted Obic, who was being criticized.

"The guy holding the file, he's called Obic. He was previously the logistics director of the Black Brilliance GT Department. When I was serving in the GT Department, we often conducted tedious operations, requiring intensive logistics support for mechas, through which I got to know him. He's quite capable, never dropped the ball in logistics."

Su Mo said with a smile.

"I see."

Alles nodded with a smile.

"Actually, it's no big deal. We haven't seen each other for years, didn't expect to meet here. Let's continue with our business."

Su Mo said naturally.

"Sure."

Alles and Su Mo continued walking forward.

Soon, they walked past Obic and his group.

Others didn't recognize Alles, but Minister Silig did. When he saw Alles walking over with a young man, chatting and laughing,

he quickly bowed his head in greeting, "Mr. President."

Kagan, Obic, and the others also quickly bowed to show respect.

Alles and Su Mo laughed and talked as they walked past them.

Obic furtively lifted his head a little, seeing Su Mo beside Alles, he was also shocked.

Why is Su Mo here? And why is he so close with the new President?

...

Soon, Su Mo and Alles arrived at the office of the finance minister.

Alles pushed the door open directly.

Hearing the door, a loud angry shout erupted.

"Who came in without permission!"

Su Mo was startled by the volume of the voice.

He looked toward the voice and saw a woman with a great figure and prominent chest muscles, wearing black glasses, radiating an aura of maturity, on the edge of going berserk.

On her desk was a mountain of budget approval reports.

Alles laughed and said, "Kedina, don't be so fiery."

On the brink of losing her temper, Kedina's tone instantly shifted sweetly upon hearing Alles' voice.

"Mr. President, why did you come personally? You could have just instructed someone below to handle things."

Su Mo's mouth twitched. Is this really the finance minister trusted by the Federation?

Doesn't seem very reliable, and it's a woman too.

"Let me introduce you. This is Mr. Su Mo. He needs some funds processed; please handle it immediately."

Alles said with a smile.

"Sure, no problem."

Kedina beamed.

"Please, handle it for me."

Su Mo handed over the file and approval note.

Upon seeing the amount on the approval note, Kedina's smile vanished abruptly, her face changing faster than flipping a page.

"No money, show him out!"

Su Mo had a black line on his face; this woman was too ruthless.

Alles smiled and said to Su Mo, "Don't mind, Kedina loves to joke; you'll get used to it."

"Heh heh."

Su Mo's smile was very forced; it didn't seem like a joke. If it were really up to him to request funds, he'd probably be chased out.

At this point, Kedina said angrily to Alles, "Mr. President, the finance department has 72,111 pending expenditures, totaling 62.4 billion Star Coins. The National Treasury only has 31.224 billion Star Coins left. How am I supposed to pay other amounts with 10.8 billion Star Coins on a single payout?"

Alles replied gently, "Suspend other payments. Su Mo's amount must be paid immediately and in full, with no room for maneuver."

Seeing Alles so firm, Kedina could only grit her teeth and glare at Su Mo.

Su Mo also wore an embarrassed smile.

Finally, Kedina sighed heavily, reverting to her capable demeanor, saying, "Got it. I'll transfer it to your bank account. You should receive it in ten minutes or so."

"Thank you very much."

Su Mo replied with a smile.

Alles turned his head to Su Mo and said, "It's settled. It's still early; shall we take a walk?"

Hearing Alles' words, Kedina showed a hint of surprise in her eyes, instinctively looking at Su Mo a few more times. It was rare to see Alles actively invite someone.

Especially at this juncture.

She's almost overwhelmed by work, and Alles must be even busier. What does he mean by 'it's still early'?

"Okay."

Although Su Mo also wanted to refuse, they hadn't made it difficult for him regarding the funds, so he couldn't really refuse.

...

A moment later, in the garden behind the Parliament Building, Alles and Su Mo walked side by side.

Su Mo was still a bit tense when his phone vibrated. He took a look and saw a notification of a transfer of 10.8 billion Star Coins, making his eyelid twitch, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

At this point, Alles seemed ready and smiled at Su Mo, saying, "Su Mo, you and I are both young. What do you think of this era?"

Su Mo coughed slightly and replied, "This era is both the worst and the best. Despite its dangers, it at least offers us a chance to fight for the future."

"Well said, I agree. However, the difficulties are far beyond what one could imagine. After parting from the Blue Whale, I didn't return but went to the front line."

Alles said lightly.
