Beast Taming: the More the Better Chapter 231 - 148 We Won’t Be Younger Than Today!_3

After he spoke, neither of them refused. It was just a ribbon-cutting, and it was mainly out of respect for Su Ping.

However, once these four names were announced, the room fell silent.

Most of the people present did not know who Lin Lei was. However, coming from the Beast Tamer Legion, he clearly wasn’t an ordinary character.

They might not have known Lin Lei, but how could they possibly not know President Liu of the Breeder Association?

He had actually come?

Evidently, the two major associations maintained a low profile. After just a brief glimpse earlier, it was difficult for many to recognize that this squinty-eyed old man was indeed Vice President Liu, the one who now truly controlled the Breeder Association.

This was the astonishment of some people.

As for the other group, it consisted of the few who knew Su Ping’s identity. For instance, the bank managers who had arrived and were on good terms with Dong Muyun.

Clearly, they had known for some time that Dong Muyun had an unusual relationship with the young man who had once approached them for a loan. But they hadn’t anticipated that the so-called Pingyun Company, established now, was actually in partnership with Su Ping.

However, the most notable reaction came from a father and son duo standing to one side.

"Xiaoshu, did I hear that wrong?" Li Senlin asked, looking as if he was doubting his very existence.

"You heard right! I told you I wouldn’t get it wrong. I might mistake others, but how could I possibly mistake Bro Ping?!"

Li Shu stared incredulously at the front row. Sure enough, four figures stood up simultaneously and walked towards the main podium.

Scissors wrapped in red cloth were placed in the hands of the four individuals.

And among them was Su Ping, wearing what Li Shu instantly recognized as his ’Su Ping-style fake smile.’

Li Shu’s eyes lit up with excitement.

This special feeling, akin to ’bumping into an old acquaintance in a foreign land,’ felt truly wonderful to him.

However, unlike his son, Li Senlin understood more clearly what this all represented and what had transpired.

Li Senlin’s expression was somewhat complex.

Li Shu, however, had already snapped out of his daze. Without a second thought, he pulled a cell phone from his pocket. He aimed it upwards and took a photo of Su Ping and the others, who were following the host’s directions on the stage. Then, he immediately sent it to their old student group chat, which had been quiet for a long time.

Su Ping had left the group chat long ago. After graduation, the classmates had all gone their separate ways and chatted infrequently.

Undoubtedly, Li Shu’s photo popping up was quite sudden.

So, he even added a comment:

"Bro Ping looks so cool!"

"Is that Su Ping? Is he at a ribbon-cutting? Is his family’s breeding base opening a branch?"

This wasn’t just anyone speaking; it was Yin Yin, the so-called school beauty whom Li Shu had always been interested in.

If it were any other time, Li Shu would have definitely chimed in. But now, looking at his phone, his brow furrowed slightly.

For a moment, Li Shu was unsure what to say.

His message had undoubtedly attracted the attention of some classmates. They had all witnessed Su Ping’s capabilities before.

Now, most of them were singing his praises. Even Zhou Shuchen sent a message:

"Classmate Su Ping is truly remarkable. He might even become the pride of our Sixth Middle School, Class Two, in the future! We should all learn from Classmate Su Ping! /Thumbs Up/Thumbs Up/Thumbs Up."

This attitude was a stark contrast to his demeanor a few months prior.

Clearly, a few months had been enough for this class president to recognize what reality was truly like. In the world of Beast Tamers, the rules were completely different from those in school. He had experienced the harsh blows of reality.

At that moment, Li Shu suddenly understood many things. He somewhat understood why Su Ping had left this so-called "classmates’ group chat" so long ago. He also understood why, after his return from the Heart of Woods, his contact with Su Ping had dwindled. It was different from before, when they could occasionally exchange a few casual words. Now, it had been over a month since they had last chatted.
