From Wage Slave to Tycoon novel Chapter 53

Chapter 53: Chapter 53: Sheesh, You Need Capital Even for a Car Show

"Bro! My dude, don’t tell me you’re still asleep?"

Hearing the roar from the other end of the line, Su Chen squinted and held his phone a little farther away.

"Ahem... No way, I’m already up. I’ll be right down!" Su Chen hung up before Sicong could say another word.

He casually tossed his phone aside, stretched languidly, and finally climbed out of bed.

Lately, Su Chen had found his nightlife to be too dull. He’d remembered the computer he bought a while back and decided to play some games. Before he knew it, he’d been playing until the crack of dawn.

After washing up, he leisurely made his way out the door.

The moment he stepped out of the elevator, he saw a bright red Rolls-Royce parked nearby. Sicong was leaning against the car window, staring daggers at him.

Su Chen gave an awkward smile. "Sorry to keep you waiting!"

"Only you, Eldest Young Master Su, have enough clout for this. If it were anyone else, you think they’d be waiting for me or I’d be waiting for them?" Sicong grumbled. After all, they had agreed to leave at nine, and it was already almost nine-thirty.

"I’ll treat you to lunch. You can pick the place," Su Chen said as he opened the car door and got in.

"Alright, you said it! I’m definitely going to take you to the cleaners at lunch!" Sicong looked ready to make him bleed money.

Seeing this, Su Chen just smiled.

"How come this Rolls-Royce of yours is different from the others?" Su Chen had only just noticed that the interior of this one was significantly different from the ones he’d been in before.

Hearing this, Sicong broke into a smug grin. "Of course it’s different. This is my custom order. I had to wait over half a year for it, and it’s a lot more expensive than a standard one."

"It does look pretty nice." Su Chen looked around, quite satisfied with every aspect of it.

Sicong watched Su Chen’s expression and asked tentatively, "Thinking of buying one?"

"Yeah, I’m considering it. I just don’t know if it’s possible to get one right off the lot." Su Chen had heard long ago that buying these top-tier luxury cars wasn’t so simple, but he wasn’t clear on the specifics.

"Eldest Young Master Su, don’t you worry. With your status, they’d be begging you to buy from them!" Sicong said with a chuckle.

He knew this world inside and out. With Su Chen’s status as a shareholder of the Louis Vuitton Group alone, if Rolls-Royce knew he was interested in buying, they would definitely arrange for staff to visit him in person immediately.

For no other reason than his status as a Louis Vuitton Group shareholder!

It was a living, breathing advertisement!

Soon, the two arrived at the convention center. After parking the car, Sicong handed him a face mask.

"What’s this for?" Su Chen asked, looking at the mask in his hand, baffled.

At this, Sicong froze for a second. "Oh, right, I forgot. I’m just worried about being recognized. It’s a habit..."

"I’ll pass. It’s not like anyone knows who I am anyway." Su Chen glanced at the mask and, after a moment’s thought, stuffed it into his pocket.

This was Su Chen’s first time at a luxury car show of this caliber, and he was quite curious. Once inside, he looked left and right, like a country bumpkin who’d never seen the world.

This was an A-class auto show, featuring only top-tier luxury brands with cars worth over a million. There were quite a few visitors, and every booth was surrounded by a crowd.

"Should we look around together, or go our separate ways?" Sicong asked, wearing a black mask.

Su Chen thought for a moment. "Let’s go our separate ways. Being with you is too conspicuous!"

There was no helping it. Sicong’s public profile was just too high. Even with a mask, anyone paying attention could recognize him in an instant. Su Chen had no desire to become the center of attention like him.
