From Wage Slave to Tycoon novel Chapter 249

Chapter 249: Chapter 160: Matter Settled

"CREAK~" The door opened, and the voices of Professor Wu and Chen Fei came from the entrance.

The two were talking and laughing, seemingly getting along quite well.

Professor Wu walked to the study’s entrance and glanced inside. Seeing the two sitting in silence, he smiled and teased, "I’m not interrupting anything, am I?"

His words were actually his way of asking Su Chen how things were going and whether he needed some backup.

Su Chen smiled and glanced at the old professor sitting across from him, then said softly, "We just finished talking. Your timing is perfect."

Professor Wu nodded upon hearing this. He looked at Su Chen, then at the contemplative old professor, and figured he already knew what was going on. He then said, "Alright~ I’ll go get started on lunch. You can try my cooking today."

"Okay, okay~ We’ll be counting on you, Old Master Wu." After speaking, he called out loudly, "Ah Fei, go to the kitchen and give Old Master Wu a hand."

"Alright~" The smile on Professor Wu’s face grew even wider.

Professor Wu was very pleased by Su Chen’s words. It wasn’t for any other reason than the form of address—it showed that Su Chen considered him one of his own.

A moment later, the sounds of washing vegetables and pots came from the kitchen.

After weighing the pros and cons, Professor Chen finally made up his mind. He looked up at Su Chen and said in a firm tone, "Young Su... Mr. Su, I’ll be in your care from now on."

Hearing this, a flash of excitement couldn’t help but cross Su Chen’s eyes. He smiled and extended his right hand, saying, "Welcome aboard, Professor Chen!"

"CLASP!" Professor Chen didn’t hesitate, gripping Su Chen’s hand firmly.

And it was this very handshake that would give rise to the world’s most advanced nuclear research institute of the future.

.......

"Oh? Is Old Master Wu from the Ba-Shu region?" Su Chen asked curiously, looking at the several classic Sichuan dishes on the table.

"I’m a bona fide son-in-law of Ba-Shu. My wife is from there."

A happy smile spread across Old Master Wu’s face, as if he had just remembered something pleasant.

This reminded Su Chen that in his two visits, he hadn’t seen any family members of the two old professors. He promptly asked, "By the way, are your families not here with you?"

Professor Chen and Professor Wu glanced at each other and shook their heads in perfect unison.
