Chapter 366: Chapter 202: Your Descendants Will Have Their Own Fortunes

The caller was none other than Yin Zheng, the so-called "Young Master of Wudu."

"I gotta say, you’ve got good sources. I just got back to Wudu and you’re already calling me!"

Yin Zheng, on the other end of the line, was completely lost. "You’re back in Wudu?" he asked, confused. "How come you didn’t call to let me know?"

Su Chen was taken aback for a moment. ’So Yin Zheng didn’t know I was back.’ "I just got back today. Let’s get to business first. Why’d you call me?"

If it wasn’t something important, Yin Zheng definitely wouldn’t have called him.

Yin Zheng sounded a bit surprised. "You don’t know? Didn’t Auntie tell you?"

Hearing this, Su Chen’s brows furrowed instantly. He recalled his mom calling Su Yan earlier, asking if he was going to the hot pot restaurant because she had something to discuss with him. ’This must be what Yin Zheng is talking about.’

But judging from his mom’s tone, it didn’t seem like a huge deal. Otherwise, his mother, Chen Shufen, wouldn’t have been so calm.

Once Su Chen figured it out, his furrowed brow relaxed, and he leaned back into the massage chair again.

"I came straight home after arriving in Wudu. I haven’t seen my parents yet. Go on, what’s happened?"

"It’s not a huge deal. It’s just that your family’s hot pot place has become the top dog in Wudu’s hot pot scene. They’ve opened a bunch of branches in the main city districts, and as a result, business has slowed down for a lot of other hot pot restaurants." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"Auntie and Uncle are so focused on the restaurant that they don’t join any associations or attend business events. Naturally, that’s made some people jealous."

"A lot of people have reached a consensus to restrict Shufen Hot Pot’s growth. On top of that, Wudu’s biggest food suppliers received notices from certain associations to reduce their supply to Shufen Hot Pot."

"But it hasn’t had too much of an impact. After all, Shufen Hot Pot’s business is booming so much that plenty of small and medium-sized suppliers are lining up to deliver to their door."

Yin Zheng didn’t forget to add at the end, "I didn’t think it was a big deal, so I haven’t said anything to those people. Do you think I need to have a word with that association or whatever?"

Su Chen pretty much understood the situation now. Whether in the restaurant business or any other industry, everyone has their own circle.

You could go it alone if you were strong enough, but that would send a signal to the locals that you’re not a team player, and people would naturally start to isolate you.

Besides, Shufen Hot Pot was already very famous in Wudu—you could say it was one of the city’s culinary calling cards.

If they didn’t even join a restaurant association or some chamber of commerce, what would that look like to others? That they looked down on Wudu’s local business environment?

"I get it now. I’ll have a word with my parents about it. I might need you to pull some strings for me later, but..."
