From Wage Slave to Tycoon novel Chapter 84

Chapter 84: Chapter 84: Borrowing a Hen to Lay Eggs? No, It’s an Early-Stage Investment

Outside the mutton restaurant!

Xiao Chen and his two friends stood at the entrance, watching Su Chen drive away.

"Brother Cheen, what’s the deal with that kid? Is he some ’golden goose’ the Xiao family found?" Jiangyang pulled a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and offered one to Xiao Chen and Chen Yao.

Xiao Chen took the cigarette, stuck it in his mouth, and lit it. He watched the car’s taillights disappear into the distance before shaking his head. "No. This time, we’re genuinely making a friend. And don’t you two get any funny ideas."

As he said this, he shot them a look, as if warning them.

Jiangyang and Chen Yao shared an awkward laugh. ’We know our own business,’ they thought. They’d definitely had some ideas when they saw Su Chen’s Rolls-Royce Cullinan, but Xiao Chen’s words had just shattered them.

Still, they were curious about Su Chen. "Brother Cheen, where did this guy come from?" they asked. "From the looks of it, he doesn’t seem to be from our circle."

"Hmm... I had him investigated before, but nothing useful came up. The only thing we know for sure is that he’s rich." After a moment of thought, Xiao Chen added with emphasis, "Extremely rich."

"Extremely rich?"

For Xiao Chen to say those words meant Su Chen wasn’t like the other rich kids they knew—the kind who did nothing but drive supercars, party at clubs, and chase young models.

Xiao Chen exhaled a puff of smoke before continuing, "You guys know about my siheyuan in Shichahai, right? He was the one who bought it."

"I even subtly hinted to him that buying the house might lead to some trouble down the line, but all I saw in his eyes was calmness. Not the slightest ripple. It was as if what I said was completely trivial to him."

"Besides... befriending him was also the Old Master’s idea." Xiao Chen’s heart ached when he thought about the gifts given to Su Chen. He knew he might not even be able to get those things for himself at home.

"What?!"

Hearing this, Jiangyang and Chen Yao were stunned. For that Old Master to... For him to give such an order, it seemed this Su Chen had some deep, hidden secrets!

A strange glint flickered in Jiangyang and Chen Yao’s eyes as they seemed to be calculating something.

Xiao Chen tossed the burnt-out cigarette butt to the ground and stomped it out with the tip of his shoe. "Get on good terms with Su Chen. If he ever needs your help with anything, make sure you lend a hand. It’ll be good for you."

With that, he got into his own car, leaving the two of them lost in thought.

By the time they snapped out of it, Xiao Chen’s car had already merged into traffic.

The two looked at each other, neither speaking first. Finally, Chen Yao couldn’t hold back anymore. "What do you make of what Brother Cheen said?"

"What’s there to think about? We do as Brother Cheen says, of course..."

"Sigh. No wonder the Xiao family has climbed so high. They know how to invest early."

The two sighed deeply, then got into their own cars and disappeared into the night.

-----------------

"What?"

"You’re in the Imperial Capital?"

"You’ve already left the airport and are coming to find me!"

"Alright, alright. I’ll send you the address. Come on over yourself."

Su Chen hung up and immediately composed and sent a text message.

"MEOW~"

Looking down at the little orange cat in his arms, Su Chen smiled and gave it a couple of pets.

After a few days of being fed, the little orange cat had transformed. Not only was its spirit better, but its small frame had also grown a size larger.

It had also become very docile and particularly clingy, especially with Su Chen... it would run up to him and meow at the slightest opportunity.

For this reason, Su Chen had even given it a special name: "Yuanbao"!

After petting Yuanbao for a while, Su Chen waved a hand behind him. "Old Jiang, someone’s coming over later. Get some fruit and things ready. Oh, and no need to brew tea; just get some juice."

"Yes, sir. Shall I prepare for dinner?" Jiang Hui was dressed in his familiar dark tailcoat butler uniform.

Su Chen’s fingers tapped lightly on the table, creating a rhythmic DONG DONG sound.

"Go ahead and prepare. Have Aunt Tang slice up the mutton I brought back earlier. We’ll have instant-boiled mutton for dinner tonight."

Aunt Tang was the housekeeper Su Chen had in Shanghai. A few days ago, with no one to cook at home and Su Chen not wanting to eat out, he had simply flown Aunt Tang over to the Imperial Capital.

Jiang Hui nodded and headed towards the front courtyard. The kitchen and other facilities were located in the reverse-facing rooms of the front courtyard.

...

"DING DONG~"

Just as Jiang Hui was helping Aunt Tang arrange the mutton slices, the doorbell rang.

He wiped his hands with a towel, straightened his clothes, and walked briskly towards the main gate.

He could faintly hear a conversation from outside: "TSK TSK TSK, you filthy rich bastards are all the same. The moment you get to the Imperial Capital, you snap up a three-courtyard siheyuan. That’s at least a few hundred million, what a fucking life!"

"Ahem, it’s not like you’re any better. Aren’t you constantly buying luxury cars and mansions? I remember your mansion in the Imperial Capital is also worth over a hundred million!"

"How can that be the same? Mine are investments. The places I buy are all carefully selected..."

"It seems... Young Master Su’s siheyuan will also appreciate in value, won’t it?"

This remark brought the conversation to an abrupt halt. Seeing that no one was talking anymore, Jiang Hui opened the main gate.

Three figures appeared before Jiang Hui.

"Young Master Sicong, so it was you who came to the Imperial Capital~"
