From Wage Slave to Tycoon

’As for Wu Jing looking for me, it probably isn’t just to thank me. He must have something else to discuss, or he wouldn’t have gone out of his way to call Steward Jiang.’

"I understand. Call Old Jiang and have Wu Jing come to the house tomorrow."

Chen Fei paused, asking with a hint of confusion, "The house? Sir, do you mean here?"

Su Chen’s face darkened with exasperation. "Why would he come here? I meant the Imperial Capital!"

"Oh, oh! I understand, sir. I’ll tell the pilot to arrange the flight plan!" Chen Fei was finally on the ball, realizing he needed to get the private jet ready.

Su Chen nodded and turned back into the house.

"Are you leaving already?" Su Zhuyun asked as soon as Su Chen walked in.

Su Chen paused for a moment, then nodded. "Yeah, I have some things I need to take care of."

’Actually, it wasn’t just to see Wu Jing. More importantly, the system had refreshed for the new month, and he still had a billion in funds to spend. If he just stayed at home, he wouldn’t know how to spend all that money.’

’As for the blind box gift pack, Su Chen had already bought it in his spare time. It cost one hundred million, but it was certainly a lot worse than the previous one.’

’He had been so busy running around the hospital these past few days that he hadn’t opened the pack yet. He still didn’t know what was inside.’

Su Zhuyun knew that Su Chen’s career was getting very big—he even had a personal bodyguard now. The best thing he could do was not cause his son any trouble. "Alright then. Remember to come back for the New Year!"

"Heh heh, of course I’ll be back. I’m already craving Grandma’s preserved pig trotters!" Su Chen said, swallowing hard.

Su Zhuyun couldn’t help but shake his head, watching him. ’He’s a grown man, but still such a glutton.’

At noon, Su Chen had lunch with his family. Before he left, he pulled Su Yan aside and gave him some instructions to prevent what happened before from happening again. He also told him to find a few retired military buddies he knew and form a security department specifically to oversee the hot pot restaurant’s safety.

"Don’t worry, Big Brother. Something like that will absolutely never happen again!" Su Yan said with a solemn expression.

Su Chen patted Su Yan on the shoulder without saying much more. After saying goodbye to his parents, he headed straight for the airport.

...

"What are you doing here?" When Su Chen arrived at the airport, he saw Yin Zheng already waiting by his private jet.

"Heh heh! Chen Fei called and told me you guys were heading back to the Imperial Capital and asked me to arrange to have someone pick up the car. It just so happens that Brother Yang invited me to the Imperial Capital for a few days, so I shamelessly decided to hitch a ride with you," Yin Zheng said with a laugh.

He had seen Jiangyang on TV recently and called to congratulate him, which is when he received the invitation. It was also during that conversation that he learned from Jiangyang that the plane Su Chen had taken to Wudu was his own private jet.

"I don’t like the sound of that. What’s all this talk about being shameless? Just treat it like it’s your own!"

After boarding the plane, Yin Zheng discovered just how luxurious the interior was. Logically, with the Yin family’s resources, buying a private jet would be more than easy, but no one in the entire Yin family owned one...

What they bought most were supercars—all kinds of them. They even had a limited-edition Bugatti Veyron.

Of course... that was Yin Zheng’s father’s ride. As for him, his best car was just a Lamborghini Veneno.

"A private jet really is comfortable. Why didn’t I ever think of this before!" Yin Zheng exclaimed after touring the entire cabin.

’When I get back from the Imperial Capital,’ he thought, ’I’m going to convince Dad to buy a private jet. It would make traveling for fun so much more convenient.’

「Three hours later, the plane landed at the Imperial Capital airport.」

Yin Zheng, who was used to Wudu’s climate, couldn’t help but shiver as a blast of cold wind hit his face when he deplaned.

"Damn, the wind in the north is bone-chilling!"

Jiang Hui, who had been waiting for a long time, walked over quickly and bowed. "Welcome home, Sir!"

"Alright, Old Jiang. Let’s get in the car. It’s freezing out here!"

Yin Zheng hadn’t brought anyone with him to the Imperial Capital this time. The car Jiang Hui drove to pick them up was a Rolls-Royce Phantom, which conveniently seated four.

The Rolls-Royce slowly pulled away from the business airport.

Su Chen turned his head and asked, "Yin Zheng, do you want to stay at my place, or should I have you dropped off at a hotel?"

"A hotel would be better. If I stay at your place... some things might get a little inconvenient!" Yin Zheng said, a... wicked grin spreading across his face. That’s right, a wicked grin. What he meant by "inconvenient," naturally, needs no further explanation.

Su Chen shook his head with a smile, but didn’t forget to offer a piece of advice: "You should still be careful. Make sure you get rid of the... evidence... promptly, so no one can take advantage of the situation."

After all, the lesson from Qin Fen was still fresh in his mind.

"Don’t worry. You could say I’m an old hand at this," Yin Zheng said with a smile.

Seeing his confidence, Su Chen didn’t press the issue. He turned to Chen Fei, who was driving, and said, "Head to the Peninsula Hotel in Wangfujing first."

’The main reason he put Yin Zheng there was that it was close to his own place—less than a ten-minute drive—which would be convenient if anything came up.’

It was already five in the afternoon by the time Su Chen got back to his siheyuan. The moment he stepped inside, he collapsed onto his favorite recliner.

"Ah, finally, I can get some proper rest."

The words were barely out of his mouth when his phone, sitting on the table, started ringing. The smile on Su Chen’s face instantly froze.

"Damn it, I just had to jinx it!"

Su Chen grumbled as he picked up his phone. The caller was Jiangyang. It seemed that rascal Yin Zheng had already ratted him out.
