From Wage Slave to Tycoon novel Chapter 345

Chapter 345: Chapter 195: Central Park One

「The next morning.」

Mark arrived at the hillside villa bright and early. He had been celebrating with Raymond, Chen Fei, and the others last night and had drunk quite a bit. After the party ended, he was driven back to his place.

He woke up this morning to a summons from Su Chen, telling him to come to the hillside villa to discuss the profit-sharing.

The thought of receiving nearly a billion USD made Mark feel like he was walking on air, as if treading on clouds. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

He arrived at exactly eight in the morning. Su Chen, Raymond, and the others were in the dining room, eating breakfast. When Su Chen saw Mark arrive, he beckoned him over.

"You haven’t eaten breakfast, have you? Sit down and join us. We can talk business later."

Jiang Hui quickly had the kitchen staff bring out a bowl and a pair of chopsticks.

Mark hadn’t expected such hospitality. "Thank you, Mr. Su!" he said excitedly.

He took the bowl and chopsticks and sat down next to Chen Fei.

They hadn’t finished the giant grouper from yesterday, so the Cantonese chef had made a pot of grouper congee for breakfast. Su Chen had assumed it was just ordinary congee, but after tasting it, he felt like he’d discovered a new continent.

Su Chen had eaten a lot of Cantonese food over the past two days and had been thoroughly impressed. ’Maybe I should hire a professional Cantonese chef when I get back,’ he thought. ’It would be nice to switch things up once in a while.’

After breakfast, Su Chen led Mark to the back garden. He offered Mark a cigarette before lighting one for himself.

After they had smoked in silence for a moment, Su Chen finally spoke. "Do you want the money now, or should I wait until you’re in Huaxia?"

Mark froze for a second, but then he quickly understood the implication of Su Chen’s words. His bank accounts were all monitored by Uncle Sam’s tax authorities. A sudden transfer of such a large sum wouldn’t be a good thing for him at all.

But this was nearly a billion USD. He wouldn’t feel safe unless it was in his own pocket.

Mark started puffing on his cigarette much faster. Su Chen didn’t rush him, instead gazing out calmly at the beautiful Bay Area cityscape.

Soon, Mark’s cigarette had burned down to the filter. Seemingly having made up his mind, he stubbed out the butt in the ashtray on the table.

"Mr. Su, please wait until I’m in Huaxia to transfer the money. After all, Uncle Sam’s tax men are no joke." In the end, Mark chose to trust Su Chen.

From the very beginning of the company’s sale, Su Chen had been the one pulling all the strings. In fact, it was only because of him that Mark even had the opportunity to be standing here discussing his share of the profits.

If Su Chen hadn’t been his company’s majority shareholder, Mark was certain that Morgan and BlackRock would have devoured it, leaving nothing behind—let alone a payout of nearly a billion USD.
