Early the next morning, Arthur and his two companions arrived at New York’s Central Park.
"What did you say? Su Chen is already gone!"
Arthur’s brow furrowed instantly as he looked at the sleepy-eyed Raymond standing in the doorway.
Even John and Abdullah, standing behind him, were completely baffled. They had never imagined that Su Chen would have already left.
When they left last night, they had agreed to see him off today, but now...
"Yeah. The Boss left from the New York airport at midnight last night. He’s probably already flown out of the country by now!" Raymond said, letting out a series of yawns.
After getting a definite answer, Arthur snorted, turned, and walked into the elevator, paying no mind to the expressions on John and the others.
As the elevator began its slow descent, a smirk appeared on John’s face. He nudged Abdullah, who was beside him. "Doesn’t it feel great to see the young master of the Morgan family get snubbed like that!"
"Isn’t that obvious? If my family didn’t need to do business with them, I wouldn’t have given him the time of day long ago. Such an arrogant prick!" A grin of satisfaction also spread across Abdullah’s face.
The two didn’t bother to hide their conversation from Raymond, who got to witness some juicy drama. He never would have thought that the trio, who seemed so close on the surface, were actually like this in private.
It was quite the eye-opener. ’Seems like for these top financial families, there’s only profit, no real friendship.’
After venting for a moment, John turned to Raymond and asked, "Raymond, did Su Chen leave any message before he left?"
"Er..." Raymond glanced at John in surprise. Su Chen had, in fact, left a message for him.
John saw the astonishment on Raymond’s face, and the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but curl up. He knew he’d guessed right.
"The Boss did indeed leave a message before he left." Raymond paused for a moment before continuing, "He said, ’If you two are interested, we can pursue more collaborations. And you’re welcome to visit Huaxia in the future!’"
Hearing this, John’s eyes crinkled into a smile. He took a business card made of gold from his pocket and handed it over.
Abdullah, at his side, caught on quickly and hurriedly handed his own card to Raymond.
"Let’s stay in touch!" John said, excitedly patting Raymond’s arm, which was as thick as a thigh.
Raymond smiled and nodded without saying anything more. After all, pretty much everything that needed to be said had been said.
Having gotten the answer they wanted, the two didn’t linger. They said goodbye to Raymond and left.
