From Wage Slave to Tycoon

Villa 68, Shallow Bay Road!

"Today is a good day, a day when all my wishes will come true..."

Chen Feiyu hummed a song, twirling his car keys in his hand as he swaggered into the house with a smug look on his face.

Ever since he learned that Su Chen was a shareholder of the Louis Vuitton Group, Chen Feiyu’s previous worries had vanished. He had a good long chat with Su Chen and Si Cong at noon, taking the opportunity to grow closer to them.

Chen Feiyu also admired his father, Chen Yulong’s, foresight. If it weren’t for the five-hundred-million-yuan Shallow Bay mansion serving as a door-opener, perhaps today would have just been a simple meal, and he never would have learned of Su Chen’s background.

Moreover, during the meal, Si Cong had subtly hinted that there was more to Su Chen than meets the eye, and that what he knew was just the tip of the iceberg.

As soon as he walked into the main hall, Chen Feiyu noticed that the atmosphere was a bit off. The entire living room was filled with smoke.

Only then did he see three men sitting on the sofa, all puffing away on cigarettes with worried expressions.

"Second Uncle, Third Uncle, why are you both back? Dad, what’s wrong with you all?" Chen Feiyu’s heart skipped a beat; he had a bad feeling.

’His second and third uncles were currently developing new markets on the mainland. They wouldn’t have come back unless it was for something important. Could it be that the family was in trouble again?’

Chen Yulong looked up, his weary face etched with worry, his eyes bloodshot. "Feiyu, you’re back?"

"Yeah... Dad, did something happen?"

Chen Yulong lit another cigarette for himself. He smoked half of it before speaking slowly, "It’s about the contract renewal. During lunch with Charles, I learned from him that other families in Xiangjiang are contacting him. If we fail to renew, it will be a disaster for the Chen family!"

The Chen family started out in commercial real estate, and a huge part of their success was thanks to the Louis Vuitton Group. Although the Chen family has been exploring other avenues in recent years, the chain reaction that would be triggered by a failure to renew the contract would be unacceptable for them.

That was precisely why... the second and third masters of the Chen family had rushed back from the mainland. They wanted to discuss the matter, figure out a solution, and if all else failed, they would have no choice but to accept Charles’s demands.

Hearing this, Chen Feiyu breathed a long sigh of relief. He had thought some other major catastrophe had befallen the family.

"Whew! I was wondering what the big deal was. So it’s just this!"

At these words, the three Chen brothers all turned to stare at him in unison, a trace of displeasure on each of their faces.

Chen Yulong, in particular, was so angry he slammed his hand on the table with a loud THUD.

The sound made Chen Feiyu jump.

"This is a matter of life and death for the Chen family, and you call it a small thing? If our family loses the chance to renew the contract and our stable line of funding, do you think the other families in Xiangjiang won’t kick us while we’re down?"

"If you don’t even have that much foresight, I’ll have to seriously reconsider the Chen family’s future successor!"

Chen Feiyu was a bit stunned by this, but he quickly came to his senses and hurried to explain, "Dad, you misunderstood me. I meant that this matter is very easy to solve..."

"Hm?" A flash of pleasant surprise crossed Chen Yulong’s eyes.

Even his second and third uncles spoke up, asking, "Feiyu, this is about the survival of our family. You can’t joke about this."

"I’m not joking. I actually came back to tell you some good news, Dad..."

"What good news?" Chen Yulong’s heart was instantly in his throat.

"Dad, that Mr. Su is a shareholder of the Louis Vuitton Group. And he’s the largest individual shareholder!!"

As soon as he said this, Chen Yulong’s expression instantly turned to one of sheer ecstasy. "Hahahaha! That really is good news!"

Meanwhile, the second and third Chen masters looked on with faces full of confusion. Seeing their ecstatic older brother, they could only turn their gazes to Chen Feiyu.

Chen Feiyu quickly explained the whole story, and the two men couldn’t help but sigh, "Life is so unpredictable, you never know what’s coming next!"

By now, Chen Yulong’s excitement had subsided, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

"Feiyu, ask Mr. Su if it’s convenient for us to pay him a visit." Chen Yulong said, turning to look at Chen Feiyu. Internally, he gave himself full marks for his earlier decision.

’If I hadn’t had Chen Feiyu deliver that gift this morning, I might not have received this good news.’

It was truly a case of "you reap what you sow"!

"We can go directly, no need to ask. Before I left, Mr. Su specifically told me that if anything came up, I could go find him at the hotel directly."

Chen Yulong nodded upon hearing this. He looked at his second and third brothers and said, "I’ll go visit this Mr. Su in a bit. I expect this should solve the problem. You two can go back now. I’ll call you with an update later."

The second and third brothers were reasonable men; they knew what they needed to do at a time like this.

"Understood, Big Brother!"

"Young Master Su, when do you think they’ll come?" Si Cong asked, half-reclining on the sofa, holding a few Hanging Green lychees in his hand.

Su Chen shrugged and spat out a seed. "How should I know? It makes no difference to me whether they come or not. If they really do show up at my door, it’s nothing more than making a phone call."

Si Cong gave a resigned laugh. ’That’s true... To someone like Su Chen... the Chen family is nothing special.’

"KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK~"

Hearing the knock, Si Cong sat up with a smile and said, "Well, speak of the devil..."

And sure enough... opening the door revealed the father-son duo of Chen Yulong and Chen Feiyu!

"Si Cong..."

Chen Yulong was just about to offer some pleasantries when he saw Si Cong say with a broad smile, "I was just asking Young Master Su when you’d get here. I barely finished my sentence and here you are. Come on in!"

Chen Yulong was startled. ’So they saw right through me,’ he thought. ’If they had any ill intentions toward the Chen family, we’d be led around by the nose.’

Entering the room, Chen Yulong saw Su Chen sitting on the sofa, eating Hanging Green lychees. Their eyes met.

Calm and piercing.

That was what Chen Yulong saw in Su Chen’s eyes. There wasn’t the slightest flicker of emotion at their arrival.

"Mr. Su~"

"Mm, have a seat," Su Chen said with a slight nod.

After Chen Yulong and Chen Feiyu sat down, he remained silent for a moment before speaking. "Mr. Su, I came here today to ask for your help. I’d like to ask you..."

Su Chen raised a hand, cutting Chen Yulong off.

Seeing this, Chen Yulong’s heart sank. He thought Su Chen was refusing him. Just as he was about to speak again, he heard Su Chen say, "No need to say more. Feiyu gave me the gist of it during lunch. I’m aware of the situation."

"I’ll call Arno. After all, this concerns the Group’s interests. You understand what I mean, right?"

The moment he heard the name "Arno," Chen Yulong’s heart leaped with excitement. He knew that was the name of the Louis Vuitton Group’s president, and he also understood what Su Chen was implying. After all, it was a matter of several hundred million in revenue each year.

"We’ll be troubling you then, Mr. Su!" Chen Yulong said, standing up and bowing respectfully.

Su Chen nodded. Just as he was about to pick up his phone from the table, it rang.

Su Chen froze for a moment when he saw the caller ID. Even Si Cong, who was beside him, leaned in for a look!

This scene took the Chen father and son by surprise.
