Chapter 261: The confidence of the Feng family father and son

Another room within the Starport.

Feng Weihao, the chairman of the Hurricane Conglomerate, held a glass of expensive liquor, gazing at the most crowded exhibition stand in the outdoor display area.

Projected there was the latest model of the T2 Hyena-class Medium Interstellar Destroyer.

Dozens of young women, dressed in sexy outfits, were seen at the stand, discussing the performance information of this Interstellar Destroyer with people of various backgrounds from across the Empire.

“Xiaowei, in the next few days, go inspect the thirty T2 Hyenas we brought to ensure that every module system is flawless.

The Empire might request a trial run and inspection of the sample Starship.

There must be no mistakes!” Feng Weihao looked at Feng Xiaowei, who was playing with a virtual screen behind him.

Feng Xiaowei's eyes were fixed on the information of various beautiful women on the virtual screen; as the young master of the Hurricane Conglomerate, he had to seize this opportunity for a romantic encounter.

“Dad, I’ve already checked them up and down several times over the past few days. I’ve practically licked every inch of our Interstellar Destroyers inside and out.

If you ask me, you’re just worrying too much.

This military procurement order will definitely be ours, the Hurricane Conglomerate’s; it’s a sure thing.

Just tell me, which of those garbage Starships can’t be ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) beaten?

Which one can compare to our T2 Hyena?

Even the Military Procurement Committee has contacted you several times, wanting you to lower the price. Isn’t it obvious that our T2 Hyena is the predetermined Starship for this military procurement order!” Feng Xiaowei declared confidently.

Although Feng Dawei, standing nearby, looked down on his younger brother, he also said confidently, “Dad, while caution is key, I personally oversaw every detail this time, so there won’t be any problems.”

Feng Dawei himself was a graduate of Starship engineering, and though very young, he could be called a genius in this field!

“It’s not that I’m overthinking it, but this military procurement order is truly crucial for our Hurricane Conglomerate.

All our current funds are tied up in the two T3 Interstellar Warship research and development projects. If we can’t secure this military procurement order, our capital chain might break.

It could even lead to the failure of both research projects.

This time, our Hurricane Conglomerate is truly gambling, gambling on whether we can seize this opportunity and truly become a core power in the Starlight Empire!” Feng Weihao said in a deep voice.

Feng Xiaowei walked up to his father, placing a hand directly on his shoulder: “You can relax; I think you’ve just been too tired lately.

You pick which one you like, and I’ll send her to your room later. I promise I won’t tell Mom.”

Feng Xiaowei pointed with a mischievous grin at his virtual screen, which was filled with photos of various girls.

“What nonsense are you spouting!” Feng Weihao slapped Feng Xiaowei’s hand away, then glanced at Feng Xiaowei’s ‘resources’: “The usual will do.”

“Hehehe...” Feng Xiaowei giggled, looking at his older brother behind him: “Big brother, what about you? Still the usual, an attractive older woman for you?”

Feng Dawei snorted coldly, ignoring Feng Xiaowei.

At this moment, the father and sons were unaware that they were celebrating too early.

The man they once regarded as an ant had already laid a trap for them.

...

Three days later.

Zhao Chen and others, dressed in formal attire, entered a magnificent banquet hall, which held about two to three hundred people.

It featured three circular areas, rising from the outer perimeter towards the center.

Most of those in the outer perimeter were minor nobles from Interstellar territories, or component suppliers in the Starship manufacturing industry, merely hoping for a chance to gain something from this military procurement, or to find a favored Interstellar Destroyer.

The closer to the center of the venue, the more prominent one's status.

Music was playing in the banquet hall, from an unknown source. Although it had no lyrics, it gave a very soothing and melodious feeling.

“Why have you been looking around so much?” Zhao Chen asked Zhao Wan’er, who was wearing a light blue evening gown beside him.

Zhao Wan’er smiled mysteriously: “You’ll know in a bit.”

Zhao Chen ignored Zhao Wan’er and began to observe Chu Xuan beside him, dressed in a long purple evening gown with long, flowing hair.

Her bare shoulders and fair neck were exposed.

It must be said, Chu Xuan’s beauty was among the top-tier of women Zhao Chen had ever seen, especially her innate temperament, like a Valkyrie, giving her a unique charm.

Just then, Chu Xuan proactively linked her arm with Zhao Chen’s. Zhao Chen felt the soft touch on his arm and looked at the slightly blushing Chu Xuan with some surprise.

Chu Xuan whispered, “Don’t misunderstand... my grandfather told me before we left home that I must present this posture in such an occasion.

This is... this is a form of protection for you!”

“Oh, oh, oh...” Zhao Chen had an expression of understanding, but for some reason, the trailing sound of his voice lingered for a long time.

As Zhao Chen entered, many female guests' eyes were also on him.

They might not recognize Zhao Chen, but they certainly knew Miss Chu.

And who else could the young man beside Miss Chu be, other than the hero who was so prominent half a year ago!

Now seeing this hero, they praised him even more.

Dressed in military-like attire, he exuded a strong masculine aura, and his handsome face was sharply defined.

And though in his early twenties, his presence was no less imposing than that of generals in the Imperial Army.

He was truly devastatingly attractive to those female guests!

“Wan’er.”

Zhao Chen heard someone calling Wan’er's name.

Here, someone knows Wan’er?

Could it be his eldest sister?

Thinking of Zhao Wan’er’s mysterious expression just now, could it be that his eldest sister had secretly contacted Zhao Wan’er?

Zhao Chen looked over with some anticipation and curiosity, only to see two figures, one tall and one short, one big and one small.

The familiar tall figure, the familiar small loli with twin ponytails.

Su Lan and Xue Xiaoxiao.

“How are you two here?” Zhao Chen was a bit surprised. He looked at Zhao Wan’er’s happy expression beside him, and it seemed that the so-called ‘surprise’ was their reunion of best friends.

“Miss Chu, Junior Zhao Chen.” Su Lan greeted Chu Xuan and Zhao Chen.

Chu Xuan also knew Senior Su Lan and others, responding with a smile.

Facing Zhao Chen’s confusion, Senior Su Lan explained, “Our Su Family was also invited, so I came along.”

“I happened to have an invitation, and I heard there would be many big cannons! So I came, and I didn’t expect to run into Senior Su Lan and Wan’er!” Xue Xiaoxiao said happily from the side.

Then she couldn't help but pull Zhao Wan’er aside and chat about the big cannons she had seen in the past few days, like which one had a large caliber, which one was powerful, which one could extend, which one had a long range, and so on.

“But no matter how much I thought about it, they all felt a bit off. I still like the bow gun of your brother’s T3 Blizzard the most!” Xue Xiaoxiao mumbled.
