From Wage Slave to Tycoon novel Chapter 151

Chapter 151: Chapter 120: Open Your Eyes to the World

Open your eyes and see the world!

Second and third-generation heirs like Shuraya have sharp minds, but unfortunately, their vision is a bit short-sighted. They only focus on their own country instead of the entire world.

But that’s to be expected... ’If she could see the bigger, global picture, I wouldn’t have to worry so much. I could just step aside and pass the torch to her.’

’Looks like it’s time for her to see the world,’ Arno decided.

Shuraya was shocked by the fact of Huaxia’s power, but what did that have to do with calling Su Chen?

She immediately voiced her confusion.

"What do you mean, ’what does it have to do with it’? It has everything to do with it!"

"Everyone knows that this great eastern nation has five thousand years of history. It’s the only country with a complete, unbroken historical record, so naturally, it has produced countless cultural artifacts. However, in recent times, many of its national treasures have been lost overseas for various reasons."

"And the reason Su Chen made this call is that he wants our Arno family to take the lead—to proactively return their country’s lost artifacts and set an example for other people and nations!"

Shuraya’s perspective might have been a bit narrow, but she was incredibly smart. The moment her father finished speaking, she understood everything.

"Father, Su Chen is asking us to be his shield! We can’t agree to this! If we do, we’ll inevitably be targeted by certain families!"

If they agreed to Su Chen’s request, the Arno family would truly be sticking their necks out.

Arno shook his head. "No, we’ll agree. And not only will we agree, but we’ll also use the Arno family’s influence in Gaul to gather as many Huaxian artifacts as we can!"

"What?" Shuraya could hardly believe her ears.

’He’s using you as a pawn, and you’re rushing to hand him the ammunition?’

Seeing the confusion on Shuraya’s face, Arno chuckled before explaining, "In recent years, Huaxia’s development has been incredibly rapid. Its economy is now the second-largest in the world. Add to that its formidable military strength, and who could possibly challenge its position?"

"Su Chen is most likely the chosen executor for their cultural relic repatriation plan. If we actively cooperate with him to complete this plan, doesn’t that mean we can gain the friendship of a great power?"

When faced with a choice between gaining the friendship of a great power and dealing with the dissatisfaction of a few minor families, Arno didn’t even have to think about what to choose.

It was just a few artifacts. It wouldn’t be a significant loss for those families; they would just feel a little embarrassed, that’s all.

"I understand, Father!" As the family heir, she naturally understood the concept of maximizing benefits.

In the eyes of Arno and Shuraya... profit was always the top priority.

"I’ll arrange this personally. When the time comes, Shuraya, you will go to Huaxia yourself. Go and see what that mysterious eastern nation is really like. Your perspective can’t be clouded by the biased media in Europe!"

"Understood, Father!" A deep curiosity now filled Shuraya’s heart. ’Just what kind of country is this great eastern nation... to make my father adopt such a cautious attitude?’

...........

"Su Chen, do you think that Arno fellow is actually going to call back? We’ve been waiting for over two hours. I’m about to wilt!" Xiao Chen asked, his eyes hazy as he lay on the sofa.

Xiao Chen had even managed to take a nap while they waited.

"Come on, Brother Cheen, Arno’s no fool. You think he doesn’t know we’re using him as a pawn?"

"Of course he’s going to think things through carefully before calling back. If he gets sold out, who’s he going to turn to?"

Just as Xiao Chen was about to retort, the phone Su Chen had left on the table started ringing.

Before Su Chen could even get up, Xiao Chen shot up from the sofa with a SWOOSH.

He glanced at the caller ID—it was Arno. He immediately handed the phone to Su Chen.

The moment the call connected, Arno’s enthusiastic voice came from the other end.

"My apologies, Mr. Su, for keeping you waiting!"

"Not at all... I’m the one who wasn’t paying attention to the time this morning and disturbed your rest."

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while before Arno finally brought up the matter of the donation himself.

"Mr. Su, we’ve agreed to the matter you mentioned earlier. However, I have a small request, and I was wondering if you might be able to grant it."
