From Wage Slave to Tycoon novel Chapter 18

Chapter 18: Chapter 18: Turns Out My Brother Is a Hidden Big Shot

The next day, Su Qingya was still sound asleep and dreaming when she was woken by Su Chen’s knocking.

"Bro~ Let me sleep a little longer! It’s still early, let’s leave later!" Su Qingya hugged her blanket, refusing to get out of bed.

"Any later? Any later and it’ll be dark out. Whose fault is that for staying out so late last night?"

Maybe it was because this was Su Qingya’s first real vacation. She had been normal at first, but the longer she was out, the more carried away she got, wanting to see and do everything.

She kept going until three in the morning before reluctantly following Su Chen back to the hotel.

As a result, she had slept straight through until eleven.

"Hehe~ Bro, why don’t we rest for another day! Please~" Su Qingya whined, tugging on Su Chen’s arm.

"Sigh. And here I was thinking that after we got to Shanghai today, I’d take *someone* to see the Bund and go shopping at the National Gold Center. But since *someone* wants to stay and play in Jiangcheng, I guess we’ll have to forget about it," Su Chen said with mock regret.

The moment Su Qingya heard they were going to the Bund and shopping at the National Gold Center, she instantly leaped out of bed.

She’d been looking forward to the Bund for ages. As for the National Gold Center, while Su Qingya didn’t know what kind of high-end mall it was, she knew it was a place for shopping. And for her, as long as she could "buy, buy, buy," nothing could be better.

"Bro~ I’m getting up right now! Wait for me in the car, I’ll be down in ten minutes, tops!!"

All traces of her previous sleepiness were gone. Su Qingya was now bursting with energy!

Su Chen just smiled and shook his head as he turned and left the room.

’So it’s true... Shopping really is a woman’s greatest love.’

A motivated girl is a fast girl. Su Chen waited less than five minutes before he saw Su Qingya walk out of the hotel.

"Whoa, how were you so fast today? Usually, it takes you at least half an hour to get ready!" Su Chen teased as soon as she got in the car.

Hearing this, Su Qingya pouted and wrinkled her nose. "Hmph~ Big Bro, all you know how to do is bully me."

"Bully you? I wouldn’t dare! I should be thanking the heavens that you’re not tormenting *me*!" Su Chen said, pressing his palms together and making a few mock-praying gestures.

"Aaargh! You meanie, Big Bro!"

Two soft fists landed on Su Chen’s arm.

"Alright, alright~ We’ll just grab a quick bite for lunch. Once we get to Shanghai, I’ll treat you to a feast for dinner!"

"Yay! Awesome! Big Bro is the best! I want a big seafood dinner tonight!" Su Qingya got incredibly excited at the mention of a feast.

This was Shanghai, after all, not some eighteenth-tier city like Fuzhou. A feast in Shanghai was bound to be expensive and delicious!

Su Qingya still couldn’t quite figure Su Chen out. She was curious how her brother had gotten so rich, but she knew he would tell her when he was ready.

...

The drive from Jiangcheng to Shanghai was about 800 kilometers, and it took Su Chen a full ten hours to arrive.

This road trip home taught Su Chen one thing: he was a complete idiot for choosing to drive instead of just taking a plane.

By the time they reached the Shanghai city center, it was already ten o’clock at night.

Staring out the window at the glittering neon lights of the skyscrapers, Su Qingya was mesmerized.

"Bro~ Shanghai is so prosperous! Is everyone here super rich?"

Hearing this, the exhausted Su Chen felt a wave of complex emotions.

He lit a cigarette for himself, took a deep drag, and slowly exhaled.

’If I hadn’t gotten the system, I’d probably still be struggling just to get by right now.’
