From Wage Slave to Tycoon novel Chapter 342

Chapter 342: Chapter 194: One Step Ahead, Every Step Ahead

From the moment Charles arrived at the villa on the hillside and saw the security personnel stationed near the main gate and the equipment they carried, he knew Su Chen was every bit as formidable as the reports had suggested.

Seeing is believing, as they say. Even though Charles had been mentally prepared, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of awe when he saw it for himself. After all, this was a level of security only the absolute elite could command.

As far as he could see, there were at least fifteen of the industry’s top security professionals. He had a keen enough eye for that.

After waiting at the entrance for a short while, he was led inside the villa by Jiang Hui.

Charles had been full of confidence, but as he approached the rear garden, he glanced through the indoor floor-to-ceiling windows and saw Arthur Morgan drinking tea with Su Chen. His mind went completely blank.

He never would have imagined that the person here to acquire Longteng Technology’s new tech would be Young Master Arthur, a direct heir of the Morgan family. According to their predictions, shouldn’t it have been a high-level executive from the Morgan Group?

’Why would a member of the Morgan family come in person? Weren’t they said to have retreated behind the scenes, never to step into the limelight again??’

’What is this game??’

’The direct heir himself is here. As a mere executive from BlackRock, what standing do I have to compete with him?’

For a moment, Charles wasn’t sure if he should even proceed to the rear garden.

Jiang Hui, walking ahead, noticed that the BlackRock representative had stopped. He turned to Charles and asked, "Mr. Charles, is something the matter?"

Jiang Hui’s words pulled Charles back from his thoughts. He waved his hand dismissively. "It’s nothing. I was just thinking about something."

Charles then saw things clearly. He was already here; how would he know the outcome if he didn’t at least try?

Taking a deep breath, he strode purposefully toward the rear garden.

Regarding Charles’s arrival, Arthur remained as unshakable as a mountain, sipping his tea and chatting with Su Chen. But Su Chen, as the host, could not be as nonchalant as him.

After saying a word to Arthur, he turned his gaze toward the approaching Charles.

Although Su Chen didn’t recognize him, he figured the man must be from BlackRock’s upper management. Otherwise, Bird wouldn’t be trailing behind him with his head bowed like a chastised schoolboy.

Jiang Hui, having naturally learned of Charles’s identity when he received him at the gate, led him into the garden. He then walked briskly to Su Chen’s side and made the introduction. "Sir, this is Mr. Charles, a Vice President at BlackRock."

"Hello, Mr. Charles!" Su Chen said with a smile, his eyes glinting slightly.

"Mr. Su, hello!" Charles replied, giving a slight bow.
