From Wage Slave to Tycoon novel Chapter 355

Chapter 355: Chapter 198: Looks Glamorous, Just a Sacrifice

Besides, they were all long-term contracts, which basically guaranteed their safety.

On top of that, IPS’s sphere of influence spanned the entire globe, with its strongest presence in Africa and Europe.

John finally understood the source of Su Chen’s confidence. While the Morgan family was very wealthy and powerful, they wouldn’t dare resort to dirty tricks. After all, no one could guarantee that Su Chen wouldn’t do the same.

At that point, regardless of who won or lost, it was certain that neither side would come out ahead.

"No wonder Arthur treated you so well earlier." A storm of emotions churned within John. His well-intentioned advice now seemed like a foolish performance.

But John’s mind quickly started racing. ’It seems... Su Chen is another powerful figure to latch onto. And with my natural connection to him through Ye Feng, I’ll have more of a say in the family in the future.’

’Who will come out on top is still far from decided. What if... what if I use these connections to go from being a sacrificial lamb to the family’s heir...’

The very thought made John’s heart tremble.

Su Chen watched the shifting expressions on John’s face—a bitter smile one moment, ecstatic joy the next, then sheer excitement. Anyone who didn’t know better would think he’d just won a lottery worth several hundred million.

He didn’t say anything to disturb John, quietly gazing at the scenery outside the window. His own mind was occupied with plans for the island he had gotten from the blind box.

"Su Chen, John, don’t just stand over there! Hurry up and come eat!" Arthur’s voice suddenly cut in, snapping both men from their thoughts.

Su Chen turned to the dining table and saw that the waiters had already begun serving the food.

Western dining habits are all more or less the same. Even at a three-Michelin-star restaurant, the menu is filled with things like steak and lamb, prepared in only a handful of ways. Most importantly, the portions are incredibly small.

This meal was a bit better, however. Perhaps because they saw Su Chen was from Huaxia, the dishes ordered leaned toward larger portions. The main course, of course, was a top-tier, A5-grade marbled steak.

They ate and chatted for about an hour. Arthur had originally planned to move to another spot for coffee, but after taking a phone call, he apologized to the group and had to leave early.

This left Su Chen and the other two looking at each other.

"Gentlemen, it’s been a long day. Shall we all call it a night and go our separate ways?" Su Chen had no desire to stay any longer.

He just wanted to get back to Central Park and plan his next moves, but outwardly, he had to show them some respect and couldn’t just walk out.

John seemed to notice that Su Chen had something on his mind and chimed in, "It has been tiring. I’m ready to go back and get some rest, too. Abdullah, what about you?"

"I’m fine with whatever. If you’re both heading back, then I’ll head back to rest too. This morning was definitely tiring," said Abdullah, rubbing his lower back as he spoke.
