Villa 68, Shallow Bay Road!
"Today is a good day, a day when all my wishes will come true..."
Chen Feiyu hummed a song, twirling his car keys in his hand as he swaggered into the house with a smug look on his face.
Ever since he learned that Su Chen was a shareholder of the Louis Vuitton Group, Chen Feiyu’s previous worries had vanished. He had a good long chat with Su Chen and Si Cong at noon, taking the opportunity to grow closer to them.
Chen Feiyu also admired his father, Chen Yulong’s, foresight. If it weren’t for the five-hundred-million-yuan Shallow Bay mansion serving as a door-opener, perhaps today would have just been a simple meal, and he never would have learned of Su Chen’s background.
Moreover, during the meal, Si Cong had subtly hinted that there was more to Su Chen than meets the eye, and that what he knew was just the tip of the iceberg.
As soon as he walked into the main hall, Chen Feiyu noticed that the atmosphere was a bit off. The entire living room was filled with smoke.
Only then did he see three men sitting on the sofa, all puffing away on cigarettes with worried expressions.
"Second Uncle, Third Uncle, why are you both back? Dad, what’s wrong with you all?" Chen Feiyu’s heart skipped a beat; he had a bad feeling.
’His second and third uncles were currently developing new markets on the mainland. They wouldn’t have come back unless it was for something important. Could it be that the family was in trouble again?’
Chen Yulong looked up, his weary face etched with worry, his eyes bloodshot. "Feiyu, you’re back?"
"Yeah... Dad, did something happen?"
Chen Yulong lit another cigarette for himself. He smoked half of it before speaking slowly, "It’s about the contract renewal. During lunch with Charles, I learned from him that other families in Xiangjiang are contacting him. If we fail to renew, it will be a disaster for the Chen family!"
The Chen family started out in commercial real estate, and a huge part of their success was thanks to the Louis Vuitton Group. Although the Chen family has been exploring other avenues in recent years, the chain reaction that would be triggered by a failure to renew the contract would be unacceptable for them.
That was precisely why... the second and third masters of the Chen family had rushed back from the mainland. They wanted to discuss the matter, figure out a solution, and if all else failed, they would have no choice but to accept Charles’s demands.
Hearing this, Chen Feiyu breathed a long sigh of relief. He had thought some other major catastrophe had befallen the family.
"Whew! I was wondering what the big deal was. So it’s just this!"
At these words, the three Chen brothers all turned to stare at him in unison, a trace of displeasure on each of their faces.
Chen Yulong, in particular, was so angry he slammed his hand on the table with a loud THUD.
The sound made Chen Feiyu jump.
"This is a matter of life and death for the Chen family, and you call it a small thing? If our family loses the chance to renew the contract and our stable line of funding, do you think the other families in Xiangjiang won’t kick us while we’re down?"
"If you don’t even have that much foresight, I’ll have to seriously reconsider the Chen family’s future successor!"
Chen Feiyu was a bit stunned by this, but he quickly came to his senses and hurried to explain, "Dad, you misunderstood me. I meant that this matter is very easy to solve..."
"Hm?" A flash of pleasant surprise crossed Chen Yulong’s eyes.
Even his second and third uncles spoke up, asking, "Feiyu, this is about the survival of our family. You can’t joke about this."
"I’m not joking. I actually came back to tell you some good news, Dad..."
"What good news?" Chen Yulong’s heart was instantly in his throat.
"Dad, that Mr. Su is a shareholder of the Louis Vuitton Group. And he’s the largest individual shareholder!!"
As soon as he said this, Chen Yulong’s expression instantly turned to one of sheer ecstasy. "Hahahaha! That really is good news!"
Meanwhile, the second and third Chen masters looked on with faces full of confusion. Seeing their ecstatic older brother, they could only turn their gazes to Chen Feiyu.
Chen Feiyu quickly explained the whole story, and the two men couldn’t help but sigh, "Life is so unpredictable, you never know what’s coming next!"
