Hearing Qianchengxue’s words, Sun Duoxiang was slightly startled and quickly said, "Damn, Boss, is it really your birthday today? I didn't prepare anything."

"No, no, I just invited everyone to have a meal, nothing special," Su Mo quickly explained.

"It's been a while since it's been this lively. Is everyone here yet?" Qianchengxue said in a good mood.

"Not yet, but let's start first," Su Mo said casually.

"Who else is coming?" Sun Duoxiang was also a little curious.

"Of course, there's me. I'm so touched to have received an invitation from Chief Su Mo. I even took a special bath and prayed to attend this grand feast."

Mobeike, dressed in formal attire, emerged excitedly with a beautiful gift in his hand, immediately starting to fawn over Su Mo.

Xiao Wen said helplessly, "Mobeike, can't you just speak properly?"

"Damn! Xiao Wen, you're here too? Perfect, pay me back!" Mobeike almost jumped up when he saw Xiao Wen and Chen Shan.

"Haha, I'm afraid that's not possible for the time being. You're too late. My money was just wired away not long ago. Maybe next time," Xiao Wen replied with a smile.

"Believe it or not, I'll curse your whole family!" Mobeike's face turned green. His heart ached at the thought of the star coins that had been borrowed.

Su Mo suddenly remembered that the Black Steel mech seemed to have been destroyed by him. Although he was helping Xiao Wen with the mission at the time, he was the one who destroyed it. So he said, "It's a small matter, why talk about it? I'll pay the money. Hurry up and sit down."

"How can that be? I can't let you pay for it, Sir Su Mo. I wouldn't take the money even if you gave it to me," Mobeike immediately did a complete 180-degree turn, fawning over Su Mo.

Xiao Wen and Chen Shan on the side were dumbfounded. They had seen shameless people, but they had never seen anyone so brazen.

"Alright, let's not talk about that," Su Mo replied with a headache.

Sun Duoxiang looked at the person in front of him, and the more he looked, the more familiar he seemed. He seemed to have seen him somewhere before, so he asked, "Brother? Why do you look so familiar?"

"Let me introduce you. This is Mobeike, the guy whose mech we robbed in the Earth Cup," Su Mo reminded Sun Duoxiang.

Sun Duoxiang's eyes widened when he heard this. "Damn, why is he here? I remember this guy is a high-ranking official?"

"It's okay, it's nothing like that. If he's a high-ranking official, then everyone here is a high-ranking official," Su Mo replied with a smile.

"Boss, you must be lying to me," Sun Duoxiang said a little disbelievingly. He replied awkwardly.

"If you don't believe me, ask yourself."

When Zhang Hao and the others heard this, they turned their heads to look at Xiao Wen and the others, stuttering as they asked, "Brother, what's your rank?"

"Colonel, but my rank isn't the highest. The highest is Qianchengxue, she's a Major General in the GT department," Xiao Wen said with a smile.

Sun Duoxiang and the three others felt a little unnatural after hearing this. Although they were now following the Lin family, every time they performed a task, they only saw very small officers, and they had to be polite to them.

"Alright, let's not talk about that. We're all family here. Let's eat when the pot is ready," Su Mo opened the lid of the stew pot, and a fragrant aroma immediately wafted over.

"That's the taste," Chen Shan replied excitedly.

At this time, Mobeike looked at the dishes in the pot with a look of disgust. He subconsciously said, "No way, are we just eating this? How about I treat you to a high-end restaurant?"

"What high-end restaurant? Go eat it yourself if you want to," Chen Shan retorted unceremoniously.

Su Mo said to Mobeike with a smile, "Oh, right, I forgot, you don't seem to eat these things. It's okay, I'll ask if there's any curry later."

"No, no, I'll just eat this," Mobeike reacted and changed his face faster than flipping a book.

"Are you sure you can get used to it?" Su Mo asked curiously.

"No problem, I brought my own seasoning," Mobeike replied with a smile, taking out a special packet of seasoning from his pocket and pouring it into his bowl.

"What's this?" Su Mo asked curiously. It was the first time he had seen someone bring their own seasoning to a meal.

"High-quality masala. Sir Su Mo, would you like some? It tastes amazing," Mobeike presented it to Su Mo like a treasure, letting him see it clearly.

"Uh, no thanks, you can eat it yourself," Su Mo's mouth twitched. What kind of weird seasoning was this? It was yellowish and had a pungent smell.

"Sir Su Mo, try it, I guarantee it's delicious. It'll definitely let you experience what's called the tip of the tongue," Mobeike strongly recommended.

"No need, no need, let's open the bar and have a drink together," Su Mo had no interest at all and quickly changed the subject.

"Okay," Qianchengxue picked up a bottle of white wine, opened it, and poured it for everyone.

Soon everyone's glasses were filled, and Su Mo stood up and raised his glass, taking the lead. "It's rare for everyone to get together today, don't be shy, eat and drink to your heart's content."

"Okay!" Sun Duoxiang and the others shouted excitedly.

Everyone raised their glasses and clinked them together.

"Cheers!"

After a glass of spicy liquor went down, the atmosphere at the scene began to liven up, and the original bit of restraint gradually faded away.

"Boss, we'll toast you. If it weren't for you looking after us, we wouldn't have gained so much last time," Sun Duoxiang raised his glass.

"That's right, we'll toast you too," Zhang Hao and the others also raised their glasses.

"Okay," Su Mo didn't refuse.

Qianchengxue on the side picked up a colander, scooped a large goose leg from the iron pot, placed it in Su Mo's bowl, and said softly, "Don't just drink, eat something to fill your stomach."

"Okay," Su Mo nodded quickly.

"Sir Su Mo, I'll also toast you," Mobeike also raised his glass with a flattering face.

"Su Mo, let's have a drink together," Chen Shan also joined in the fun.

"Okay, come on!" Su Mo was a little tipsy for a moment, and didn't refuse anyone, since he had said that he wanted to have a good time today.

"Okay, that's great!"

.....

After a long time, Su Mo and the others were red-faced, smiling and chatting.

It was rare for everyone to be so relaxed. Everyone here was under a lot of pressure every day, and no one could say for sure when they would suddenly sacrifice.

The expedition was not as easy and happy as imagined, but more like licking blood from a knife's edge.

"Xiao Wen, let's have a drink. How are you guys doing in the Third Army?" Mobeike said to Xiao Wen with a hiccup, raising his glass, almost putting his arm around his shoulder. He seemed to have completely forgotten that he had been gnashing his teeth and cursing Xiao Wen before.

"So-so, not good or bad. It's just more restrictive, and the resources allocated are relatively small," Xiao Wen raised his glass and clinked it with Mobeike's.
