Chapter 31 (2/2)

Lin Dong did not feel anything as he smiled and said, “Ding Ling, long time no see. When did you come back?”

“I came back the day before yesterday to visit my grandparents.”

Ding Ling softly replied.

Although she lowered her head to reply, her small face was facing Lin Dong. Both of her hands were clenched, and she was a little shy. This was her nature, and she was not good at interacting with others, especially when it came to Lin Dong.

Ding Ling was very popular among the boys. However, Lin Dong did not like her. He also did not give her any ambiguous feelings.

It was not that Lin Dong did not want to play with her, but he was not ready for it.

However, Ding Ling’s father was the chief security officer of the mining planet. Her father was powerful, and if Lin Dong toucher her, he would be going against the whole mining planet and Baron Darkmoon behind Ding Ling’s father.

Lin Dong had not settle his matter with the Sylvester family. Hence, it was not good to provoke Baron Darkmoon all of a sudden.

When choosing between life and death, Lin Dong was still able to restrain his desires.

The 2 of them exchanged a few words with each other before falling into silence.

On the other hand, Luo Fei and Li Ziqing were chatting passionately. Their relationship seemed to be on the verge of taking a step further.

As the agreed time was about to arrive, the number of students present increased and the gathering officially began.

However, before that, the initiator of the gathering needed to speak first.

This time, it was class monitor Zhao Yan.

If Li Ziqing was the goddess in Luo Fei’s heart, then Zhao Yan was the goddess of all the boys in the school. Not only was she beautiful and had a good figure, she was only 20 years old. When she walked and spoke, she emitted a trace of charm, causing people to remember her voice.

Even though Luo Fei already had a goddess in his heart, he was still attracted to Zhao Yan when he saw her.

Only after being secretly stepped on by Li Ziqing did he regain his senses.

It was difficult for Lin Dong to hide the admiration in his eyes as well.

If anyone in his social circle was most likely to use their own efforts to achieve a level rise and enter the privileged class from the commoner class, it would be Zhao Yan.

Not only did she possess the looks to attract men, she also possessed the capability that matched her looks.

As for whether Zhao Yan had successfully entered the privileged class, Lin Dong was uncertain.

He did not retain any memories about Zhao Yan. Most of the information that he remembered was related to the crisis that he had encountered and his own safety.

Within the private room, Zhao Yan stood up and looked at the entire place. The entire place immediately became quiet.

She easily controlled the entire place.

After a few welcoming words, Zhao Yan got down to business.

“This gathering is mainly because of a piece of news. I believe some of you are already aware that Baron Darkmoon and Baron Soro are discussing an open trade agreement.”

“There are many related rumors, but I have reliable sources. The negotiation process is very smooth. If there are no issues, both sides will be able to reach an agreement within 2 months at the latest!”

Zhao Yan paused slightly and observed the expressions of the students participating in the gathering.

However, only a small number of students showed a happy expression, most of the students looked confused and did not know what they meant.

Upon seeing this, she was not surprised. After all, only a small number of people could judge the follow-up development through small matters.

She had selected the people participating in the gathering beforehand, they were all people who were not satisfied with the status quo. Those who were not willing to work hard were not informed at all.

However, having the desire to advance did not mean that one could really advance.

It was not that easy to move up the social hierarchy. Without special encounters, it was often a long and difficult process.

However, it would be better to face it as a group rather than walking alone.

At least in the initial stage.

After remembering the few students who were smiling, Zhao Yan did not make them wait. She continued with her suggestion.
