From Wage Slave to Tycoon novel Chapter 31

Chapter 31: Chapter 31: Bazaar Charity Night

"It sure is nice to be rich!"

Su Chen was currently on a helicopter flying to Hong Bridge Airport. Gazing down through the window at the dense cluster of houses below, he remarked with a sigh.

Su Chen had originally thought the Bazaar Charity Night was being held in Shanghai and was looking forward to going home to rest after the event.

But Emma told him... the Bazaar Charity Night was in the Imperial Capital. They would have to take a plane to get there.

Just as Su Chen was wondering if they would make it in time, Emma led him onto a helicopter bound directly for Hong Bridge Airport.

She explained they would transfer to a private jet at Hong Bridge Airport.

Su Chen was floored. He had never even flown first class before, and now he was about to board a private jet.

Today was certainly an eye-opener.

So this was the simple, unpretentious way the rich traveled.

The helicopter soon arrived at Hong Bridge Airport, landing right next to another plane. It was a little different from the large airliners Su Chen was used to seeing.

Hmm... how should I put it? It was like a smaller, sleeker version.

"Mr. Su, this is a Gulfstream G450, a small private jet. It can carry sixteen passengers and is one of the best-selling private jets on the market right now," Emma explained from the side.

"Not bad at all. Did the Group buy this jet?" Su Chen asked, looking around from his seat.

"It’s a rental, Mr. Su. Our Group has a partnership with a private jet company, allowing us to charter small jets when needed. After all, this sort of thing is a toy for the wealthy!"

A hint of wistfulness crept into Emma’s voice. ’Who wouldn’t want to own a private jet?’

"How much does a plane like this cost?" Su Chen asked, his curiosity piqued.

To Emma’s ears, however, the question sounded different. She was secretly stunned. ’Is Mr. Su thinking of buying a private jet?’

"Mr. Su, this model, the Gulfstream G450, sells for around 150 million. That includes a dedicated flight crew!"

"150 million?!" Su Chen was stunned by the price. ’If a small jet like this costs over 100 million, a large one must be several hundred million, or even over a billion!’

It seemed the lives of the truly wealthy were still beyond his imagination.

In less than two hours, they arrived at the Imperial Capital airport. This was Su Chen’s first time in the Imperial Capital, and he was filled with curiosity about everything.

The private jet experience was truly something else. The moment they landed, they boarded an airport shuttle that took them through an express channel directly to the parking garage.

"A Rolls-Royce?"

After the shock of the private jet, seeing that their ride was a Rolls-Royce, Su Chen was considerably more composed.

You had to admit, a top-tier luxury car was in a class of its own. Compared to his own Aston Martin, the Rolls-Royce was far more comfortable.

"Mr. Su, will you be participating in the red carpet ceremony later?"

"The red carpet?"

Su Chen thought for a moment, then shook his head slightly. "I’ll skip the red carpet. I don’t like putting myself under so many spotlights."

’The entertainment industry is a murky business,’ he thought. ’Something as simple as the appearance order can cause a massive uproar online. Better for me to stay out of it.’

"Very well, Mr. Su. I’ll have Secretary Li escort you into the venue first."

Although Emma was deferential to Su Chen, as the head of the Louis Vuitton Group for Greater China, she was the ultimate authority figure to everyone else. Who in the entertainment industry wouldn’t treat her with the utmost respect?

If you crossed Emma, a single word from her could essentially banish a celebrity from the fashion world.

And as a heavyweight guest at the charity gala, Emma naturally had to participate in the red carpet ceremony.

The charity gala was being held at the Grand Metropark Hotel. By the time Su Chen’s party arrived, the area outside was already a sea of people.
