From Wage Slave to Tycoon novel Chapter 12

Chapter 12: Chapter 12: Taking a Girl Out to Eat

Outside the Volkswagen dealership.

"Well, well, old classmate! I can’t believe it. It’s only been a few years, and you’ve already struck it rich?" Chen Xiaobai said, circling Su Chen and looking him up and down.

"I wish I’d struck it rich. But no... I just handed over years of savings to you!" Su Chen said with a forced, wry smile.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Su Chen pulled open the car door and got in.

"Let’s keep in touch!"

"You got it!"

The world’s three biggest joke phrases are...

Let’s keep in touch!

I’ll treat you to a meal next time!

I’ll definitely pay you back tomorrow!

......

"This is outrageous! It’s just outrageous!"

Su Chen stared at the freshly-made instant noodles on the table, his stomach churning with frustration.

The moment he got home, his father and mother had decided to go on a spontaneous trip.

Their excuse was, "We’ve been married for so many years... but we’ve never really traveled. We want to see the world, just the two of us."

And just like that... the two of them abandoned Su Chen and set off on their one-and-a-half-day getaway for two!

’Time for just the two of them?’ Su Chen was dumbfounded when he heard that.

’So all those years I was out there working my butt off, the two of you at home *weren’t* living in your own little world?’

’Am I an eyesore around here??’

"KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK~"

Su Chen was just about to take a bite when he heard a knock. He quickly got up and walked to the front door.

"CLICK!"

The door opened to reveal a pretty young woman standing on the doorstep, dressed in a schoolgirl-style uniform. Her eyes were bright and lively as she looked at him.

"Hello, who are you looking for?"

"Big Bro~"

"Big Bro?" The greeting left Su Chen completely bewildered. ’Do I have such a beautiful younger sister?’

Seeing Su Chen’s confused expression, the young woman spoke again, "Big Bro, it’s me, Su Qingya!"

"Qingya? You’re Qingya?" Su Chen couldn’t just call it surprise anymore...

This was pure shock!

Su Qingya was the only daughter of his third uncle, Su Zhixin.

But in Su Chen’s memory, Su Qingya was a scrawny, acne-prone little thing who looked like a bookish runt.

Compared to the lively, radiant, and adorable young woman standing before him, she was like a completely different person... really!

’Is it true what they say about a girl changing as she grows up?’

"What’s wrong? It’s been years, aren’t I allowed to get prettier? By the way... Big Bro, are you going to let me in or what?" Su Qingya said, putting her hands on her hips and pouting.

Su Chen scratched his head sheepishly and stepped aside to let her in.

Su Qingya huffed softly and strode in on her long legs.

"How’d you know I was back?" Su Chen asked, lounging on the sofa and looking at Qingya, who had sat down beside him.

"Hmph~ Big Bro, you’re really good at keeping secrets. If I hadn’t called my eldest uncle to ask you about something, none of us would have known you were back in Fuzhou."

Hearing this, Su Chen gave an embarrassed laugh. "Hey, I’ve only been back for a few days!"

"You said you wanted to ask me something? What’s on your mind?" Su Chen quickly changed the subject.

"Hehe~ Well, since I got into Shanghai University, I wanted to ask what Shanghai is like. After all, you’ve been there for so many years."

"Wait? You got into what?"

"Shanghai University. What’s wrong?" Su Qingya looked at Su Chen in confusion, not understanding why he was so surprised.

Su Chen sat up straight and sized up Su Qingya for a long moment before saying slowly, "This makes no sense. A genius like me never even made it into college, so how did a silly girl like you get in? And into Shanghai University, no less?"

"Big Bro~ You’re the silly one!" Su Qingya retorted, rolling her eyes dramatically at him.

"How come I didn’t know the Su family produced a student for a top-tier university? How could no one tell me about something this huge!"

"What would have been the point of telling you? You were in Shanghai. Were you going to make a special trip back just to celebrate?"
