From Wage Slave to Tycoon novel Chapter 70

Chapter 70: Chapter 70: The Tool-Person Boss Goes into Action

Special Care Ward!

When Su Chen came in, he saw Yang Wei chatting with his wife and Xiaoyann. They must have heard the news about the kidney donor, as the haggard looks on their faces were gone.

"Xiaochen~"

"Brother Cheen~"

His wife and Xiaoyann quickly greeted Su Chen when they saw him enter.

"Sister-in-law, Xiaoyann!" Su Chen replied with a smile.

Yang Wei stood up as well, looking at Su Chen with a nervous expression. He seemed about to speak but was stopped by a look from Su Chen.

After chatting with Yang Wei’s wife and Xiaoyann for a while, Su Chen gave Yang Wei a look and walked out of the hospital room.

"Brother Wei, here are the payment receipts. You should keep them safe," Su Chen said, pulling a stack of receipts from his pocket and handing them over.

Yang Wei hesitated for a moment looking at the receipts, but ultimately accepted them with a trembling hand.

"Xiaochen, I’m treating this as a loan from you. I’ll pay you back after I sell the house. Here’s the IOU I wrote..."

As Yang Wei spoke, he pulled a piece of paper from his pocket, which he had written on with a pen and paper borrowed from the nurses’ station earlier.

"Brother Wei, this IOU... I..."

Before Su Chen could finish, he saw Yang Wei’s resolute gaze, which made it clear he wouldn’t back down until Su Chen accepted it.

"Alright then, I’ll take it." Su Chen tucked the IOU into his pocket. He knew Yang Wei’s personality; the man’s word was his bond. If he didn’t accept it, he was afraid Yang Wei might kneel before him again.

Seeing Su Chen accept the IOU, Yang Wei breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Brother Wei, I’m going to head out. You stay here and take care of your wife and Xiaoyann. I’ll come see you all again in a few days." Su Chen said his goodbyes. The atmosphere here felt a bit oppressive to him.

Especially while he was paying the bills... Su Chen had seen one or two people kneeling in the hospital corridors, hands pressed together in prayer.

’It’s true... when medicine reaches its limits, all that’s left is metaphysics!’

"Want to grab a bite?"

In the hospital parking lot, Su Chen was leaning against his Rolls-Royce, speaking to Si Cong, who was puffing away on a cigarette beside him.

Si Cong threw his cigarette butt on the ground and stamped it out with his foot. "I’ll pass on food. I’ve got a lot going on lately. Let’s do it after I’m done with my work."

"Alright then. I’ll treat you to a meal when you’re free," Su Chen said. He paused, then added, "I owe you one for today. If you need any help in the future, just give me a shout."

"Heh heh, I’m holding you to that!" Si Cong said with a grin.

Even though they were friends, no one ever thought they had too many favors owed to them. Especially when you reached a certain status, a single favor could be enough to pull you back from the brink of disaster.

This society runs on favors... it’s all about give and take.

Just as Si Cong was about to leave, he heard Su Chen’s phone ring and, as if by some strange impulse, he stopped in his tracks.

Su Chen didn’t notice and simply answered his phone.

"Hello? What’s up?"

The caller was none other than his CFO, Zong Xinyao.

"Boss, regarding the investment in the Byte project, is now a good time to talk?" Zong Xinyao’s voice held a trace of excitement.

"Go ahead."

"Boss, after the company’s evaluation, we believe the Byte project is of extremely high quality. It could potentially change the current landscape of the internet. We recommend increasing our investment!"

Su Chen’s brow twitched at her words. Although his company was a recent startup, many of his employees were elites who had worked in the investment industry for years, especially the investment team, which was now the investment analysis department.

’Since the Byte project has the unanimous support of the team, it seems this project really does have potential.’

"What are you suggesting?"

’Since Zong Xinyao called him, she must have a plan.’

"Increase our investment and strive to become a major shareholder in Byte!"

"Do I need to show up in person?" Su Chen understood Zong Xinyao’s intention.
