From Wage Slave to Tycoon novel Chapter 372

Chapter 372: Chapter 204: Having Eyes but Failing to See

"My eldest is really getting too big for his britches. Ordering me around for his own birthday, making this old man come all the way to the city. Doesn’t he know he could just hold the banquet back in Fuzhou?" Master Su grumbled under his breath from the passenger seat, gazing at the Wudu scenery outside.

Of course, what Master Su considered "under his breath" was, in fact, perfectly clear to everyone else in the car.

The corner of Su Zhixin’s mouth twitched as he drove. When they had first set out, the old man had been all smiles, saying it had been a long time since he’d been to Wudu and he was curious to see how it had changed.

But now that they were almost at Jiangbei Peninsula, his mood had suddenly gone from sunny to cloudy, and he’d started complaining about his big brother.

"Dad, you know how busy Big Brother and his family are. Besides... we just thought this would be a good chance for you and Mom to come visit Wudu for a while," Su Zhixin replied softly, defending his brother against Master Su’s grumbling.

"Tch. What’s so fun about the big city? It’s not as comfortable as my place in the countryside. This trip is just keeping me from my farm work!" Though that’s what Master Su said, the slight upward curl of his lips betrayed his true feelings.

Of course, busy driving, Su Zhixin didn’t catch this subtle change.

Hearing this... Su Zhixin smacked his lips. He wanted to say something more but couldn’t find the words, so he just pretended nothing had happened and focused on driving.

Soon, their group arrived at their destination—the Jiangbei Peninsula Financial Center.

"We’re here. This is the place Xiaochen told us about!" Su Zhixin said after finding an empty spot in the building’s lot and parking the car.

"This place looks pretty fancy. A meal here must cost a fortune, right?" Master Su said, sizing up the towering skyscraper before them.

"Heh heh. The family’s making good money now; Big Brother can afford it. Dad, let’s head up. It’s getting late!" Su Zhixin was also getting impatient. Even though the family was well-off now, this was his first time in a place like this, and he was filled with curiosity.

At his words, Master Su nodded and gave Su Zhixin a look, signaling for him to lead the way.

It was just after four in the afternoon, so there weren’t many people coming and going. After entering the lobby, a direct elevator for the restaurant happened to arrive.

The group of five walked straight in. Su Zhixin glanced around, saw no one else, and pressed the ’close door’ button. Just as the doors were a third of the way closed, a slightly hurried voice called out from outside: "Wait, there are still people!"

Hearing this, Su Zhixin managed to press the ’open door’ button before the elevator closed. Three magnificently dressed women, each carrying a designer handbag, walked in.
