From Wage Slave to Tycoon novel Chapter 94

Chapter 94: Chapter 92: Interlocking Rings, a Cunning Old Fox

As the saying goes, there’s no such thing as a free lunch.

The words of our ancestors had a point: if someone showers you with attention for no reason, they’re either up to no good or a thief.

’What kind of decent person gives such a huge gift before you even meet? Even I’m not this extravagant when I give gifts.’

The only explanation was that Arno definitely needed his help with something!

"Mr. Su, are you here in Paris for pleasure this time?"

"Of course I’m here for fun. The League of Legends World Championship finals are being held in Paris, you know? As it happens, an esports club I own made it to the finals. And coincidentally, you, Mr. Arno, had also invited me to visit Paris..."

"So, here I am... mixing business with pleasure. The best of both worlds, right?" Su Chen said with a calm and unhurried air, taking a small sip of his coffee after he spoke.

"Hahaha! I didn’t expect you to have such leisurely tastes, Mr. Su. To be so fond of gaming!" A man of Arno’s stature wouldn’t know the first thing about League of Legends, so he could only follow Su Chen’s lead in the conversation.

The two chatted for a while longer. Arno felt the time was right and gathered his thoughts.

"Mr. Su, I wonder, what are your thoughts on the Louis Vuitton Group?"

Su Chen’s eyes twitched slightly at the words. He exclaimed internally, ’Finally, we’re getting to the point!’

Shaking off his previous languidness, he sat up much straighter. "Thoughts? What thoughts could I have?"

"The Louis Vuitton Group became number one in the luxury industry under the Arno family’s leadership. As an outsider, I have no interest in giving directions or meddling. I’m content to just wait for my dividends."

A flash of delight passed through Arno’s eyes when he heard this, but his expression remained placid and unreadable.

"You’re not considering appointing an executive to the group? That Chen Mengyan you sent over before is very capable. She’s a quick learner—in just two short months, she familiarized herself with the entire company’s operations!"

Su Chen knew Arno was probing him, trying to see if he had any intention of meddling in the group’s internal affairs.

He shook his head gently, set down his coffee cup, and gazed at the distant horizon. After a long moment, he said slowly, "I just want a life of leisure. I have no desire to get involved in any struggles."

Su Chen suddenly felt a bit tired. Talking to these wily old foxes was truly mentally exhausting. He might as well just lay his cards on the table.

Arno hadn’t expected Su Chen to be so direct. Although it was a bit awkward, his thick skin didn’t betray any strange expression.

"My apologies, Mr. Su. You must be amused. But as you know, maintaining internal harmony is the most fundamental thing for a group!"

Su Chen strongly agreed with this. If there was no internal stability, how could they even talk about competing for market share against rivals?

With Su Chen’s assurance, a faint smile appeared on Arno’s face.

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Su, I have another gift for you. I hope you like it!" After speaking, Arno waved to Shuraya, who was standing not far away.

Shuraya was seen walking to the parking lot with a man who looked like a bodyguard and taking a box out of a car.

Soon, a box made of golden silk-nanmu wood was placed on the table.

Arno made an inviting gesture with his left hand, then looked at Su Chen with a smile.

Su Chen looked at the box before him, a little puzzled, wondering what tricks Arno had up his sleeve...
