Chapter 348 The World of Adults
At this moment, everyone in the bar looked at Su Ming with disbelief in their eyes.
They couldn't believe that Su Ming dared to speak to Qiao Zhi like that.
"This little brother is quite courageous."
Even Zhu Yun, who had been watching from the sidelines, began to look at Su Ming with a new respect.
Who is Qiao Zhi?
The second young master of the Qiao family, one of the eight major families, a five-star top-level hunter, and the deputy leader of the A-level team "Jinlong Yuge", is also a well-known figure in Tianfeng City. It is no exaggeration to say that he is extremely powerful.
Even if we leave all this aside, Qiao Zhi is a scion of a large family who is nearly 40 years old. The aura of a superior cannot be concealed at all. Ordinary people probably don't even dare to look at him straight in the eye, and would feel nervous if they were just glanced at.
But what about Su Ming?
A young man who was only eighteen years old, not even twenty years old, dared to say "Why" in front of Qiao Zhi? It was not the impulsive tone of being angry, self-destructive, and completely disregarding the consequences, but a half-smile, unusually calm, as if savoring something, with an attitude of ease.
This is definitely not a situation that can be explained by saying "green and inexperienced" or "inexperienced in the world".
Qiao Zhi never expected that this overly young boy in front of him would actually say to him, "You, why?"
You know, before this, Qiao Zhike didn't take Su Ming seriously at all.
In his opinion, Su Ming was just lucky to be favored by Chi Qian. He had just debuted, was so young, and was from another place. He didn't even have a decent identity or background, so he was not worthy of the loyalty of a talent like Chi Qian.
He was only slightly resentful towards Su Ming, but that resentment was not entirely directed at Su Ming, but at Chi Qian.
He had tried to recruit her so many times and had come to her door so many times to win her over, but had never succeeded. Now Chi Qian was joining a small team formed by a new warlock who had just debuted. This made Qiao Zhi angry no matter how he thought about it.
As for Su Ming, Qiao Zhi really didn't regard him as a threat. Apart from paying more attention to him, he was not even willing to vent his anger on him.
This shows how low Su Ming's presence is in Qiao Zhi's heart.
In this situation, I personally came to see this newcomer who I would never even give a second glance at in the past, but in return I was treated like this?
It is impossible to say that Qiao Zhi is not angry.
However, Qiao Zhi couldn't find any words to refute.
Because it is a fact that Su Ming did what Qiao Zhi failed to do.
"Do you think Chi Qian, who rose to prominence in Tianfeng City by her own efforts, is a fool? If I really had nothing here, do you think she would be willing to work for me?"
Su Ming looked at the speechless Qiao Zhi, smiled, and said this.
"It's because I have what she wants here that she comes to me."
"Isn't the standard for excellent professionals to choose a team so simple? Isn't it enough to have something attractive enough to attract the other party?"
"My team succeeded in attracting her, so why shouldn't she join?"
"Or does Deputy Team Leader Qiao think that as long as the team level is high enough and the team size is large enough, then it is worthy of the title?"
Su Ming shook his head and said something bluntly.
"If that's the case, all the outstanding professionals will join the S-level team. They won't like my team, and they won't like your team either."
Just one sentence made Qiao Zhi's face turn pale and look extremely ugly.
Instead, the bystanders around nodded in agreement with Su Ming's remarks.
"I have to say, what that kid said does make some sense."
"His team is low-level and small-scale, but he can offer conditions that make Chi Qian excited. It's normal for him to join his team, right?"
"I heard that Chi Qian's condition for joining the team is to get Dragon Demon Saliva, and it seems like several drops."
"My goodness, that kid couldn't really have such a treasure and gave it to Chi Qian, right?"
"If that's the case, I'd like to join his team."
Everyone started talking, and the way they looked at Su Ming began to change.
Not to mention the others present, even Xu Xiayan and Wang Di looked at Su Ming with a hint of admiration in their eyes.
Especially Wang Di, he has more recognition of Su Ming.
No matter what, Su Ming's expression of not feeling guilty at all when facing Qiao Zhi and his sharp and direct words were so clear that even if Wang Di were to do it himself, he didn't think he could do better than this.
But Su Ming is still so young, and he has such a mentality and performance, which is really rare.
In this case, if Su Ming really has the means to attract even someone like Chi Qian, it would undoubtedly be incredible.
It was not until this time that Chi Qian, who had remained silent, finally spoke.
"I've already said it before, I will not leave 'Azure Mercury'."
Chi Qian spoke lightly.
"The team leader has been kind to me and helped me a lot. Even my former companions are in this team. With the help of the team leader, they have a better future than in the past."
"So, no matter whether it's emotional or logical, I can't leave the 'Azure Mercury' team."
“It’s not possible now, and it won’t be possible in the future.”
Chi Qian made his own words come to an end in front of everyone present.
Looking at Chi Qian like this and listening to his speech, anyone with a little bit of common sense can feel that Chi Qian is serious.
She cannot and will never leave her current team and switch to another team.
Realizing this, everyone who had thoughts about Chi Qian, including Zhu Yun, fell silent.
Xu Xiayan curled the corners of her mouth.
It was undoubtedly worth her happiness that Chi Qian could show his loyalty like this.
Although she already knew that Chi Qian was doing things for Su Ming sincerely, unlike what she had thought before, it was more reassuring that Chi Qian could make a statement in public like this.
So, Xu Xiayan finally came out.
"That's what they said, right? Deputy Captain Qiao?" Xu Xiayan said to Qiao Zhi with a smile, "If you keep pestering me like this, there will be no way out."
Qiao Zhi glanced at Xu Xiayan, then glanced at Chi Qian.
"You'll regret this."
Qiao Zhi said this in a deep voice.
Chi Qian was too lazy to reply him.
regret?
When you realize how powerful the team leader is, you will regret it.
Not knowing what Chi Qian was thinking, Qiao Zhi glanced at Su Ming again, but said nothing and just turned around and left.
Now that things have come to this, there is no point in saying more.

After being refuted by Su Ming in person, Qiao Zhi felt too embarrassed to stay any longer, so he simply walked towards the door and left.
Seeing this, Xu Xiayan said lightly.
"See you at the north gate of Tianfeng City in the morning three days later."
Hearing this, Qiao Zhi paused for a moment, then stepped forward again and left the bar.
Naturally, his men followed him, but they looked at Su Ming with eyes full of displeasure and unkindness, and it was obvious that they bore a grudge against Su Ming.
After everyone from the Jinlong Yuge had left, Xu Xiayan suddenly smiled and turned to everyone present.
"As I just said, we will gather at the north gate of Tianfeng City in the morning three days later."
"Then we will set out together to the place where the hidden wonderland appears."
"Everyone, do you have any questions?"
Xu Xiayan's question was met with everyone shaking their heads.
"Three days later in the morning, I will lead the elite team to the north gate."
"Ditto, no objection."
"Our team will go all out, please rest assured, Captain Xu."
"With so many high-level teams working together, this mission will be easily accomplished."
"That's right."
Many people responded and made declarations.
"good!"
Xu Xiayan also nodded heavily.
The initial actions to complete the SS-level mission were thus decided.
In three days, everything will be clear.
Afterwards, the atmosphere in the bar did not cool down due to the departure of "Jinlong Yuge", but became more and more intense.
After finalizing the initial course of action, everyone stopped talking about serious matters and started drinking or laughing, making the atmosphere seem more relaxed.
Su Ming also welcomed a lot of people here.
The leaders or deputy leaders of each team, either the top or second-in-command, all came to Su Ming and greeted him one after another. They actually looked like they were trying to make friends with Su Ming, and they no longer had the previous attitude of just watching the fun and not minding the trouble.
Even the deputy leader of the Iron Rose, Zhu Yun from the Zhu family's side branch, came forward, greeted Su Ming, and even struck up a conversation with Chi Qian.
"Although there is probably no hope of winning over Captain Chi again, I personally admire Captain Chi very much and hope that we can have a chance to communicate in the future."
Zhu Yun said these words to Chi Qian with a hint of warlike intent, and then left.
Su Ming was somewhat surprised and astonished by this.
"I thought people here didn't take me seriously."
Su Ming muttered to himself.
He didn't think that just by confronting Qiao Zhi, he could impress the leaders of these big teams and make them willing to make friends with him.
This is also true.
"Most of them may not have taken you seriously before, but they definitely don't want to offend 'Azure Mercury', a potential stock who has successfully broken the record for the fastest team upgrade in Tianfeng City."
Xu Xiayan explained the reason to Su Ming afterwards.
"There are not so many straightforward things in the adult world. Compared with their mood, they tend to consider the gains and losses."
What this means is that no matter what kind of person Su Ming is, as long as "Azure Mercury" really has the potential to succeed, the leaders of those big teams would not mind coming over and making friends with him.
No matter what level or size it is, as long as there is a six-star professional like Chi Qian in the team, it is worth their while to make friends with them.
Therefore, even if Su Ming had not driven Qiao Zhi away today, the big shots from these big teams would still come up and say hello with a smile.
As for what they think in their hearts, only they themselves know.
After understanding this, Su Ming was filled with emotion.
"Sure enough, there are only interests in the adult world."
