Destiny Mission of game 'Star Ring'

Chapter 767: Puzzled (Bonus for Alliance Leader Zhao Xiaoxiao) (5 Updates)



Su Mo also looked helpless. Every time they got to a crucial moment in the conversation, this guy would mess up, as if he were avoiding something.

Forget it, I don't want to think about it. By now, we should be near the Imperial City.

Su Mo felt a little excited.

...

An hour later, a small transportation ship landed alone at the Imperial Star Airport.

Su Mo walked towards the exit, hands in his pockets.

The bustling interstellar airport, due to special controls, was now deserted, with almost no ordinary citizens in sight, only staff and military personnel.

However, Su Mo felt greatly relieved because Long Ming had managed the Imperial City well before.

The security measures were very effective, so after a brief disturbance, the Imperial City was almost back to normal.

If it weren't for some citizens occasionally exploding with negative energy, like time bombs going off.

This place would probably be fine by now.

Su Mo was in an increasingly good mood as he walked towards the company, imagining how to give Qian Chengxue and the others a big surprise.

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

Soon after, Su Mo appeared at the entrance of the Chenxi Group building.

The entire 32-story company building was intact, with no signs of an attack. However, security measures had been strengthened, with many more security guards added.

Su Mo walked straight towards the building, and the guard at the door quickly greeted him.

"Hello, Supervisor Su, you're back."

"Thank you all for your hard work."

Su Mo nodded slightly and walked into the building.

The company's interior seemed a bit deserted, with not many people around.

Su Mo took the elevator directly to the top floor to surprise Qian Chengxue first.

A few minutes later, Su Mo appeared in Qian Chengxue's office, smiling as he gently pushed the door open, only to find the office empty.

He also had a helpless expression. What's going on?

Qian Chengxue wasn't at the company? Impossible, given the unstable situation, she would normally be at the company.

Could she still be at the Lin Family?

Thinking of this, Su Mo picked up his phone and dialed Qian Chengxue's number.

"Sorry, the number you dialed is currently unavailable."

Hearing this prompt, Su Mo looked perplexed. What's going on? Still can't get through?

Just then, Zhao Han suddenly appeared, looking at Su Mo in surprise and said, "Su Mo, when did you get back?"

"I just got back. You came at the right time. Where did Qian Chengxue go? I can't get through to her phone."

Su Mo asked with a puzzled look.

"Oh, you're asking about Sister Xue. She went to the Star Ring City branch to take care of some business, she's not at the company."

Zhao Han explained.

"What's she doing in Star Ring City?"

Su Mo was also bewildered.

"Of course, there's something going on. Let's not talk about that. Weren't you over in Area M? Isn't that place under control? How did you manage to get back?"

Zhao Han asked, puzzled.

"Come on, I couldn't figure a way out? Why does it sound like you didn't want me to come back?"

Su Mo couldn't help but complain.

"Did I? Don't talk nonsense. Am I that kind of person?"

"You certainly seem like it. I'm not going to argue with you. I'm leaving now."

Su Mo waved to Zhao Han and was about to leave.

But Zhao Han grabbed Su Mo's arm and asked in an annoyed tone, "Where are you going?"

"Of course, I'm going to Star Ring City to handle some things and drop by to see Qian Chengxue."

Su Mo thought for a moment. It would be great for Qian Chengxue to be in Star Ring City, as he could visit her and maybe do some shopping too.

"You can't go."

Zhao Han stubbornly held onto Su Mo, shaking her head like a rattling drum.

"Why not?"

Su Mo was bewildered by Zhao Han.

"You've just gotten back. You should be helping out with work here. There's a letter from Sister Xue for you."

Zhao Han said, taking a letter from her pocket and handing it to Su Mo.

Su Mo was surprised to receive it. He opened it and found it was indeed from Qian Chengxue.

"Su Mo, upon reading this letter, you should be back at the company. My father and I are negotiating an important business deal. Now that you're back, don't wander around. Stay at the company and help with management. Zhao Han can't handle it alone...."

After reading it, Su Mo put the envelope away, looking helplessly at Zhao Han.

"Can I not be responsible for this?"

"No, you can't. Come on, this company belongs to you and Sister Xue. You can't keep acting like an absentee boss. Come help out, I'm nearly exhausted."

Zhao Han then pulled Su Mo towards her office.

"Hey, hey, don't....."

Su Mo grimaced, never expecting he'd be conscripted one day.

...

Three days later, at the Chenxi Company public cafeteria.

Su Mo had just sat down after getting a plate of food when Zhao Han sat across from him with her tray.

"There are so many empty seats. Why sit in front of me? Are you afraid I'll run away?"

Su Mo replied with a laugh.

"Yeah, what if you leave? Who will help me then?"

"I'm puzzled, isn't handling money and payments an accountant's job? Why am I doing it?"

Su Mo couldn't help but complain.

"It's all because of Liu Mei's betrayal. There's no suitable person in the company, so you're just covering for now. It's also a chance for you to familiarize and understand the group's operations. It's for your own good. Don't complain; this is a special instruction from Sister Xue."

Zhao Han brought up Qian Chengxue.

Su Mo sighed and replied.

"You're not wrong, but I've already finished organizing. Don't keep giving me more tasks."

"I'm not. Let's eat."

Zhao Han coughed and said.

At this moment, Su Mo inadvertently glanced around the cafeteria, noticing only about a third was filled, and asked curiously.

"Why is there so few people eating?"

"Because everyone's busy overseeing production at the factory."

Zhao Han said somewhat sheepishly.

"Oh, that's good. Being busy with business is good."

Su Mo didn't pay much attention.

...

In the evening, Su Mo stretched as he left Zhao Han's office.

He headed towards the elevator.

Passing by one office after another, almost all the doors were closed.

Su Mo stopped in his tracks, turning his head to look back.

He noticed that most of the executive offices were also closed.

Recalling the past few days, Su Mo realized he hadn't seen Sun Li, Tang Yao, and others around.

"What's going on? Could they all be overseeing at the factory?"

Thinking of this, Su Mo decided to check out the factory.

If it's really that busy, he might as well help out at the factory. Better than staying at the company and doing calculations all day.

Otherwise, he'd just be staring at Zhao Han.

...

Later, Su Mo arrived at the suburban industrial park.

He walked towards the Chenxi Group's factory, seeing it from afar.

There were only a few trucks at the factory entrance, and not much light inside.

Su Mo walked to the entrance with a puzzled look.

"Supervisor Su, what brings you here?"

The guard greeted politely.

"Well, I heard the factory's busy lately, so I came to see if there's anything I can help with."

"Huh? Overtime? The factory's been closed. Apart from the duty personnel, there's no one else."

The security guard looked at Su Mo with a puzzled expression.

"It's closed?"

Su Mo was also dumbfounded. Weren't they supposed to be busy?

"Yes,"

the guards replied in unison.

Su Mo quickly ran into the factory and took a walk around.

He found, just as the guard said, the whole factory was quiet, with only a few people around and no production happening.

So he stopped a passing female employee.

"Hello, may I ask if our factory hasn't been working overtime lately?"

"No overtime? There isn't much business recently; all the orders were rushed out earlier."

The female employee said with a puzzled expression.
