From Wage Slave to Tycoon novel Chapter 29

Chapter 29: Chapter 29: A Chance Encounter?

"Brother~ has anyone ever told you... you look incredibly handsome today!"

Su Qingya stared, a bit stunned, at his black polo shirt, dark gray trousers, and the brown leather shoes on his feet.

Su Chen paced in front of the mirror, nodding in satisfaction at his handsome reflection.

"If you paired it with a nice watch, it would be perfect!" Su Qingya said wistfully.

Su Qingya’s words were a good reminder. He really was missing a proper watch.

He’d been thinking about buying a watch for a while now, but his pockets were tight. With only a little over a million in his bank account, it wasn’t nearly enough to buy a truly fine timepiece. He’d have to wait until next month’s funds from the system arrived.

’It’s only two or three days until the first of the month,’ Su Chen mused. ’When the time comes, I’m definitely buying a high-end watch, no matter what.’

After straightening his cuffs, Su Chen grabbed his car keys and got ready to head out.

Seeing Su Chen’s preparations, Su Qingya asked with a hint of confusion, "Brother~ are you going out?"

"Yeah, I have to run some errands. I’m also going to a banquet tonight. Want to come with?" Su Chen asked offhandedly.

"I can’t. I have to stream this afternoon!" Su Qingya said, shaking her head.

Ever since the incident on the platform’s forums a couple of days ago, Su Qingya’s popularity had skyrocketed. She currently had 100,000 followers, which made her a mid-tier streamer on Douyu.

She was completely focused on streaming right now; she had no time to go out and have fun.

"Alright. I’ll be back late tonight, so tell Aunt Tang not to make dinner for me." With that, Su Chen walked out the door.

The original plan was for Emma to pick him up, but Su Chen had a sudden urge to go see the Louis Vuitton Group’s Greater China Headquarters for himself. To be blunt, he was curious and wanted to see what it was like.

The Louis Vuitton Group’s Greater China headquarters was located in Lujiazui’s Jinmao Mansion, which was very close to where Su Chen lived—only a few minutes away by car.

The moment Su Chen reached the parking entrance of Jinmao Mansion, he was stopped by security guards.

’What’s going on?’ Su Chen wondered, looking out the window in surprise. Two other cars ahead of him had also been stopped.

While Su Chen was still puzzled, he saw a security guard approaching with a black bomb-sniffing dog on a leash.

"Sorry, sir. All civilian vehicles without an internal access pass are subject to inspection. We’ll need your cooperation."

Su Chen frowned slightly but still nodded. "No problem."

The security guard was quite thorough. He led the dog in a full circle around Su Chen’s car and even had him open the trunk for the dog to sniff. Only after confirming there were no issues was Su Chen allowed into the parking garage.

A wry smile appeared on Su Chen’s face. "Heh... I guess you learn something new every day. I never would have thought entering Jinmao Mansion would require this kind of inspection."

He’d never seen anything like it. He supposed it just showed how little he’d gotten out.

The Louis Vuitton Group was on the 66th floor of Jinmao Mansion. To Su Chen’s surprise, the elevator was an express that went straight to his floor without any stops.

As soon as he walked through the main doors of the Louis Vuitton Group’s Greater China Headquarters, Su Chen was stopped by the receptionist.

"Hello, sir. How may I help you?"

The receptionist spoke with a slight Taiwanese accent, and the sound of her voice sent a pleasant tingle down Su Chen’s spine.

"Ah, I’m here to see your president, Emma."

"To see President Emma? Sir, do you have an appointment?" The receptionist looked at Su Chen with a trace of doubt. She hadn’t received any notice from management, which meant there were no scheduled visitors for the president today.

"I don’t have an appointment. Could you please let your president know that Su Chen is here?" His visit had been a spur-of-the-moment decision; he hadn’t called Emma beforehand.
