From Wage Slave to Tycoon

"Well, what do you know, these pigeons are completely tame!" Su Chen smiled, opening the food he was holding and pouring it into his right palm.

The moment he held his hand out, a flock of pigeons surrounded it.

Feeling the intermittent pecking on his palm, the smile on his face widened.

It took him a little over half an hour to feed them the two bags of food. When he stood up, several pigeons even ran over and rubbed against his ankles.

’These little guys actually know how to show some gratitude after getting fed. Much better than the monkeys on Emei Mountain!’ Su Chen thought of the notorious Emei monkeys; they couldn’t hold a candle to these pigeons.

The beach at the park was made of damp, fine sand that felt incredibly comfortable underfoot, so Su Chen took off his shoes.

After strolling along the beach for a while, Su Chen started to feel a bit bored. The main reason was the lack of beautiful sights on the beach in the morning.

Men, after all, always hold a certain anticipation for beautiful things.

Just as he was about to head back to the hotel, the phone in his pocket rang.

At first, he thought it was a call, but when he took out his phone, he saw it was a video call notification from his messaging app.

’Hm? Mom?’

Su Chen opened the app and saw the call was from Chen Shufen. He answered it without a second thought.

When the video call connected, Su Chen was surprised to see that his mom’s background was also a beach, though it was much livelier than his own location, with many tall buildings visible in the distance.

"Mom, you’re on vacation?"

He remembered talking to his dad, Su Zhuyun, about them taking a vacation. He just hadn’t expected their first stop to be the coast. From the looks of it, they were probably in Hainan.

’Their tourism marketing is just that good,’ he thought. ’Whenever anyone talks about a beach vacation, Hainan is the first place that comes to mind.’

"Yep! We arrived in Hainan last night!" As she spoke, Chen Shufen panned the phone around, and Su Chen spotted his dad, Su Zhuyun, standing nearby with a gloomy look on his face.

Seeing this, Su Chen could only offer a silent prayer for his dad, hoping he would enjoy the trip.

After chatting with his mom for a while, he made sure to remind them to be safe while they were out and to call him immediately if anything came up.

But Su Chen had barely gotten a few words of caution out before Chen Shufen hung up on him.

Staring at the disconnected call, Su Chen just smiled and shook his head. ’Goes to show, no one can stand being nagged.’

Su Chen was still very happy about his parents’ trip to Hainan. After all, they had worked hard for most of their lives and deserved to enjoy themselves.

Su Chen was even thinking about arranging a round-the-world trip for them.

"Attention, please! A production team will be filming in the beach park today. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding!" a man in a park staff uniform announced through a megaphone as he walked by.

The entire beach park immediately started buzzing with discussion, with everyone speculating about who was there to film a show.

Su Chen knew right away it had to be Deng Chao and his crew. After all, the scenery at this park was on par with anything in Hainan; if the production team didn’t film here, it would just mean they had poor judgment.

Glancing at the gathering crowd, Su Chen shook his head and headed back toward his hotel.

Just as he reached the hotel entrance, he saw Jiang Hui sitting in the lobby, waiting for him.

"Sir," Jiang Hui said, quickly walking over.

"I was just about to come get you for breakfast," Su Chen said. "Let’s go and try some of the local food on Zheng Island."

The hotel provided breakfast, but while strolling around earlier, Su Chen had discovered an old street near the hotel lined with small eateries.

’Huh? San Yuan Canteen?’

Su Chen stopped in front of a particularly bustling restaurant.
