Drama Queen Reborn as a Top Student!-Chapter 43 - 041 Notice of Promotion!

"Mr. Zhou, I’ll be relying on your guidance from now on. Let me down this drink first."

Feng Yueyang tilted his head back and drained the glass of baijiu in one go.

Everyone’s opinion of him shifted, and someone couldn’t help but remark, "A tiger father doesn’t breed dogs. Mr. Feng truly has the grandeur of Old Mr. Feng back in the day."

"I can’t compare to my dad, but from now on, I’ll work hard and strive to live up to him. I hope all you uncles and elders can guide me along the way."

Feng Yueyang’s speech was skillfully delivered. The former spoiled brat seemed to become a different person after this drastic change.

Not only had he preserved the company, but he also held his own at the dinner table against senior business veterans with ease. Though still a bit green, his sincerity made up for it.

Behind him stood Tianlu Bank, while the Xie family appeared to be teetering on collapse. Feng Yueyang seemed to have a promising future, and everyone tactfully took the opportunity to graciously step back.

Feng Group had truly secured its position after this ordeal.

In the corner of the banquet table, Chong Ming quietly feasted on shrimp, his satisfied smile stretching to the corners of his eyes.

These slick old-timers only knew how to boast and drink, not bothering to touch the spread of dishes before them.

That Chilean lobster was the highlight dish, worth tens of thousands each, they said. If nobody else was eating it, better not let it go to waste.

Someone did notice Chong Ming, but seeing he was with Feng Yueyang, and knowing this event was organized by Feng Yueyang himself, nobody dared to say much. Some even tried striking up conversation with Chong Ming, but he brushed them off with vague replies.

When most people had left, Feng Yueyang’s face was flushed red as he held up the liquor bottle, shouting, "Drink... Let’s keep drinking...."

Seeing Yueyang was truly drunk, Chong Ming finally set down his chopsticks and walked over to take him home.

Just then, his phone suddenly chimed with a notification.

Chong Ming froze mid-step. This was the exclusive sound for the PT system—a tone that only rang in the event of major announcements.

He swallowed nervously.

The boss had returned to the island alone, leaving Chong Ming behind, and for the past few days, he’d been on edge.

It didn’t take much thinking to know—the boss was just a mere Class C mercenary. How could she possibly match up against Bo Jiao, backed by Gouchen?

This notification—could it be the boss’s obituary?

With trembling fingers, Chong Ming pulled out his phone and logged into the PT system.

Within the organization, high-level personnel changes and rewards or punishments were announced to the entire system, visible to every member.

The first notification displayed was the punishment announcement for Bo Jiao from the legal division.

Eighty lashes, permanent revocation of all authority, banishment to Kunpeng Island for life.

Kunpeng Island is located in a precarious area of the sea north of Southern Island, filled with rugged rocky terrain, glaciers, and infamous rumors of sea monsters. Many merchant ships that passed through there were never seen again.

The island itself spans a territory much larger than Southern Island, and its environment is said to be absolutely unforgiving. There are even legends of cannibalistic savages residing there. However, Bai Ze had a visionary approach and began developing Kunpeng Island long ago. Mercenaries who committed grave mistakes within the organization were sent there to toil endlessly as the ultimate punishment.

Once there, calling to heaven brought no answer, and calling to earth brought no relief—it was merely waiting for death.

Within the organization, Kunpeng Island was even nicknamed "Hell Island," a testament to how terrifying it was.

Reading this announcement, Chong Ming could hardly believe his eyes.

Then the second notification popped up, and Chong Ming was dumbfounded.

"Damn...!"

He rubbed his eyes, then rubbed them again. Was he seeing things?

Chong Ming stared at the crimson text, recognizing each word, yet somehow unable to comprehend their combined meaning.

Class C mercenary Danhuang successfully cleared the trial and ascended to Class B mercenary. Effective today, she is appointed as the Hua Country regional Class B commander, bestowed with the title of Commander, authorized to lead mercenaries. Official announcement!

Class B Hua Country Regional Commander...

"My God." Chong Ming hugged Feng Yueyang in a frenzy and planted kisses all over his face.

Feng Yueyang was completely bewildered, his cheeks glowing red, his eyes hazy from the alcohol.

"The boss is incredible! Now I can finally kick back without a worry, hahaha!"

Chong Ming was so exhilarated, he wanted to announce the news to the entire world.

He had grabbed the biggest thigh to cling to, and it turned out to be the thickest of them all.

Class B mercenaries are found across every country in the world, though Chong Ming didn’t know the exact number. Every country and region had its own commander.

And Hua Country, with its vast territory and prosperous economy, meant its regional commander carried far more weight than those of smaller nations.

With this status, she commanded all Class B mercenaries within Hua Country, and even Class C and Class D mercenaries had to follow her orders.

What’s more, the boss possessed the authority of Commander—a privilege Bo Jiao never even attained.
