Chapter 129 Inside story: Family dispute!
"Snapped!"

"Why, you haven't come to your senses yet!"

Chen Fei looked at Boss Yu who looked dazed and said jokingly.

Feeling the force on his shoulder, Boss Yu's dull eyes slowly focused and it took him a while to recover.

"Hey, isn't this because I was scared by my brother Susu?" Boss Yu's face was filled with despair at this moment.

Since visiting the Ice and Snow World the day before yesterday, there hasn't been anything fun to do in Ice City. Su Chen had originally planned to go somewhere else yesterday, but Boss Yu said there were still many authentic foods that he hadn't tried.

There are delicious dishes like Demoli fish stew, pig-killing dishes, and braised bones. I have not experienced the bathing culture in Northeast China.
At the repeated request of the boss, Su Chen had no choice but to play for another day. He ate, played and experienced everything he should eat. Especially in the bathhouse, Su Chen also experienced what it meant to be honest.

While scrubbing his body, Su Chen saw the master carrying his little brother and scrubbing him back and forth twice. At the end, he patted his butt and said, "You are a young man with a lot of capital. You are at least in the top five among those I have seen!"

Su Chen didn't know whether he should be happy or not!
He also bought a lot of local specialties, such as red sausage and smoked chicken. Su Chen bought two large boxes.

Early this morning, Boss Yu drove his car to the hotel entrance, ready to take them to the airport. When he learned on the way that their next stop was Qiqihar, Boss Yu said without hesitation that he wanted to go with them.

They say that you can act as a tour guide for them and help them avoid some pitfalls!

Su Chen was also amused by his excited expression at the time, and thinking that it would be more lively with more people, he agreed to Boss Yu's request.

After getting Su Chen's consent, Boss Yu still wanted to contract the air tickets for three people. After some inquiries, the answer he got was that it was not necessary.

At that time, Boss Yu was still wondering how to board the plane without buying a ticket. Is there any other way?

With doubts, he drove into the business airport under the guidance of Chen Fei, passed the security check and entered the apron. When he saw Su Chen's large private jet, he finally understood why he didn't need to buy a plane ticket.

Boss Yu was so shocked that he was like a wooden man when he boarded the plane, and Chen Fei pulled him up.

"Hahaha~ Come and have some fruit!" Chen Fei smiled and placed a fruit plate on the table in front of him.

"Thank you for your help!" Boss Yu recalled his previous image and really wanted to dig a hole and bury himself.

It's no wonder that the boss reacted so strongly. There are only a handful of people in the entire Northeast who own private jets. The most famous one is of course Uncle Benshan, and even his private jet only costs 200 million yuan.

The price of Su Chen's private jet is twice that of Uncle Benshan. This alone is enough to show how strong Su Chen is.

Boss Yu looked at Su Chen, who was lying leisurely on the sofa playing with his mobile phone, his eyes were filled with complicated emotions.

When I think back to the first time we met, I thought he was just a young guy out to see the world, but as I got to know him better, I realized that what I saw was just the tip of the iceberg.

This also made Boss Yu more determined to curry favor with Su Chen. After spending the past few days together, he also realized that Su Chen was an easy-going person. He didn't need to be too attentive, as long as he could communicate normally like friends.

I don't ask for any benefit from Su Chen, as long as I can have the identity of a friend, so that when I go back to brag to my old buddies, I can pat my chest and say: "My brother has a large private jet, and I have ridden it several times!"

Thinking of this, Boss Yu took out his mobile phone from his pocket and started taking selfies, perfectly demonstrating what it means to record life.

Chen Fei, who was standing by, was also stunned by Boss Yu’s mysterious behavior. An old man still likes taking selfies?
"Boss Yu, what delicious food is there in Qiqihar? As the second largest city in Heilongjiang Province, there should be a lot of delicious food!" Su Chen's voice suddenly came from behind.

Upon hearing this, Boss Yu immediately put down his phone and said, "Brother Su, Qiqihar was most famous for its barbecue at that time!"

"Barbecue?" Su Chen never expected it to be this.

Boss Yu quickly explained: "Because Qiqihar has its own grassland, the quality of both cattle and sheep meat is very good, especially the quality of beef, which can be compared with top-grade Wagyu!"

"Especially marbled beef, which is roasted and sprinkled with seasonings. Just thinking about the taste makes people drool, and the price of beef is very cheap."

Listening to Boss Yu's introduction, Su Chen licked his lips with his tongue, feeling an urge to eat it as soon as he got off the plane.

It is not very far from Ice City to Qiqihar. The plane landed at Qiqihar Airport in about an hour.

This airport is different from the several airports Su Chen has visited before. There is no business airport or fast lane. Whether it is civil aviation or private aircraft, there is only one exit.

Overall it is very small. When coming out of the terminal, Su Chen realized that this airport is a bit old.

"Is there only one airport in the entire Qiqihar?" Su Chen asked with some confusion.

"There is another one under construction. I think it will be put into use in two years!"

Su Chen was just curious. After all, as the second largest city in Heilongjiang Province, it was a bit embarrassing to have only one old airport.

After leaving the airport, the three of them hailed a taxi on the side of the road and did not contact the hotel to arrange airport pick-up service.

The taxi driver was also very outgoing and greeted Su Chen and his friends warmly as soon as they got in the car.

"Master, can you recommend a restaurant in Qiqihar that serves delicious barbecue?"

"Barbecue? The barbecue in any restaurant is very authentic. If you believe me, I'll take you to a restaurant I often go to. However..." The taxi driver hesitated at the end.

Su Chen saw the driver's hesitation and thought he wanted to pay more. "Master, just tell me what you want to say. It's okay even if it costs a little more."

Upon hearing Su Chen's words, the taxi driver immediately became unhappy, "Who said the fare would be increased? Young man, you can't slander others!"

The driver's words made Su Chen a little confused. If you don't want to add money, just finish your sentence directly. He acted like a "riddler".

"It's just that the environment of the restaurant is not very good. It's in an old house from more than 20 years ago. Compared with the restaurants nowadays, the environment is definitely much worse. If you don't mind, I will take you there." The taxi driver explained.

Su Chen really wanted to greet the taxi driver after hearing this, "It's okay, as long as the meat is fresh and grilled well!"

"Okay, I feel relieved when you say that!" As soon as the driver finished speaking, he stepped on the ground and the taxi rushed out suddenly.

The taxi driver never stopped talking along the way. When he learned that Su Chen and his friends were from the south, his enthusiasm increased rapidly.

Especially when the driver learned that Su Chen was from the foggy city of Fuzhou, he was so excited that he kept muttering, "He's half from my hometown!"
After Su Chen asked around, he found out that he had an uncle who left Qiqihar decades ago to support the Third Front Construction. The city he supported was a town under Fuzhou. For various reasons, these people who supported the construction disappeared for more than ten years, and his family thought he had an accident.

Later, for various reasons, his uncle settled down in Fuzhou, and during the holidays, the taxi driver would go to Fuzhou to stay for a while.

After listening to the taxi driver's story, Su Chen knew that the project his uncle supported was the famous "816" project.

Perhaps because of this relationship, when Su Chen and his friends arrived at the barbecue restaurant, the taxi driver refused to take any money and said righteously: "You have come all the way to Qiqihar to play. As a half-fellow villager, how can I not entertain you well!"

The two of them were in a stalemate for a while, and finally the taxi driver reluctantly accepted the fare under the "coercion" of Su Chen and the other two, but he also left his phone number to Su Chen, saying that he would be there at any time if he needed a car.

Looking at the taxi going away, Su Chen turned to look at Boss Yu and said, "Are all you Northeasterners like this?"

"Most of them, of course there are some bad ones. There are all kinds of birds in the forest, and this is inevitable!" Boss Yu gave a fair answer.

"Let's go and see how delicious the barbecue restaurant recommended by a fellow villager is!" After saying that, Su Chen turned and walked into a restaurant on the side of the road that looked very old.

Chen Fei and Boss Yu didn't hesitate and quickly followed.

The restaurant looks small, but it has a lot going for it.

There are about twenty tables, and the whole place is simply decorated in white. It doesn't look like what the taxi driver said, but a normal fly restaurant.

Since it wasn't mealtime, there were hardly any people in the restaurant. Even the waiters were sitting on their chairs playing with their phones.

When Su Chen and the others went in, they were stunned for a moment. They didn't expect that someone would come to eat barbecue at ten o'clock.

The waiter came to his senses and greeted them quickly: "Please sit wherever you want. Here is the menu. Take a look at what you want to order!"

After taking the menu, Su Chen looked at the various meat dishes and their prices, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Why are the prices all 58? How much is this one?"

Whether it's marbled beef, ribs, top roast or homemade mixed meat, the price is the same, which is more or less surprising.

"Each portion weighs more than 7 taels." After saying that, the waiter seemed to see Su Chen's fleeting doubt and continued, "The ingredients here are all fresh and are all sourced from slaughterhouses. You can rest assured!"

Su Chen also saw Boss Yu, who was sitting opposite him, nodded slightly, indicating that there was no problem with what the waiter said.

"I'll have three servings of marbled beef, ribs, top ribs, and this homemade mixed meat, and a few bottles of white pears. That's it for now!"

The waiter took the menu and walked quickly towards the kitchen. Before leaving, he asked Su Chen if he wanted to go to the kitchen to check out the ingredients. Su Chen thought about it and decided to refuse.

After waiting for about seven or eight minutes, I saw the waiter coming out from the kitchen carrying a large iron plate that was full of food.

"The quality of this marbled beef looks really good!" Su Chen couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the brightly colored beef on the plate.

No matter how emotional you feel, you still have to eat.

As a native of Ice City, Boss Yu naturally took on the responsibility of barbecue.

There's no way, Chen Fei doesn't know how to grill meat, and as for Su Chen, you won't let him grill for the two of them, right?

Boss Yu's grilling skills are very professional. He first coats the grill pan with butter.
He did not grill the marbled beef first, but poured the homemade mixed meat in. "Many people who come to the Northeast to eat barbecue basically grill the marbled beef and ribs first, but we in the Northeast basically grill the homemade mixed meat first, grill the pan to make it fragrant first, then put in the big piece of meat like the marbled beef, pour some seafood sauce, and it tastes really delicious."

Boss Yu swallowed several times when he heard what he said.

Home-cooked mixed meat is made with tender beef. It is simply roasted in a baking pan and the aroma spreads.

After waiting for about two or three minutes, Boss Yu's voice finally rang out.

"Brother Su, it's time to eat!"

Su Chen, who couldn't wait any longer, picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

As soon as the beef entered his mouth, Su Chen's eyes widened a lot.

"good to eat!"

It's just a simple salty taste, with some onions and coriander, and this simple seasoning is surprisingly delicious.

At this moment, Su Chen truly felt what barbecue was and what he had eaten before.
Seeing Su Chen constantly moving his chopsticks, Chen Fei, who was standing by, also put his chopsticks into the roasting pan.

After taking a sip, Fade Chen also joined in, but he was not as agile as Su Chen and could only take a little bit occasionally.

At least half of the one pound of homemade mixed meat went into Su Chen's stomach.

Marbled beef and ribs are large pieces of meat, so they take a little time to roast, which gives Su Chen a chance to rest.

“Everyone says that the barbecue in Northeast China is delicious, but only when you come here and try it once, you will know how it is.”

"This trip to Qiqihar is worth it just for this barbecue meal!"

As the saying goes, good things don't work, but bad things do. As soon as Su Chen finished speaking, the phone on the table rang.

Seeing the name on the caller ID - Xiao Chen, Su Chen frowned slightly.

It's only been a week, and there's still a week left before the agreed half month. Why did he call me all of a sudden?

Although I was a little confused, I still answered the call.

"Hey, Brother Chen!"

"I hope I didn't disturb you!" Xiao Chen's voice was particularly gentle.

The gentle Su Chen had a bad feeling.

"I just flew to Qiqihar today and just sat down to eat barbecue. Brother Chen called. Is there anything wrong?" Su Chen probably guessed that something had happened to Shulaya, but he could only pretend that he didn't know and play for two more days.

"Ahem~ I just wanted to tell you that Shulaya of the Luwei Group has moved up her schedule. According to the latest news we have received, she brought no less than a thousand cultural relics from Europe this time, including two national treasures."

"What? There are more than a thousand cultural relics, and two of them are national treasures?"

"What is Arno trying to do? To curry your favor?"

"It shouldn't be like this. How could capital like the Arnault family approach us?"

Su Chen was a little excited for a moment, and without paying attention to the occasion, he asked several questions in a row.

When Boss Yu, who was grilling meat, heard about the thousands of cultural relics and two national treasures, his right hand trembled and the grilling tongs fell directly into the grill pan. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and got it back in time.

Su Chen didn't pay attention either, his mind was on the phone.

"Um~ I think I know a little bit of inside information." There was a hint of cunning in Xiao Chen's tone, which made Su Chen feel like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth.

Su Chen wanted to give Xiao Chen two international gestures when he heard this. What do you mean by a little bit? I'm afraid he has investigated all of Xiao Chen's brothers.

He could only follow Xiao Chen's words and said, "Brother Chen, tell me, what's the inside information?"

"According to my understanding, the Arnault family is not very united. As the youngest daughter of the family, Shulaya has been loved by the Arnault family since she was a child. This is why she can own shares of the Luwei Group at the age of 20, but..."

When Su Chen heard these two words, he knew that a turning point had come.
"Shuraya is not the best heir to their family. He is not even suitable at all and has no achievements in business."

"According to our analysis, she just wants to be a rich woman who lives on the sidelines, but her father Arnault wants to train her to be the heir to the family!"

Su Chen nodded as if he suddenly understood something. He now understood why Arno had made such a big fuss and asked Shuraya to fly to China with thousands of cultural relics.

The feeling is that he wants Shulaya to get some qualifications and find a strong foreign aid for her.

After previous contacts, Shulaya gave him the feeling of a child who had not grown up. Many of her actions were completed under the guidance of her father. But it was normal to think about it. How could a little princess who grew up with so much love focus on her career?

It's good enough to be able to go to work in a company. Wouldn't it be nice to lie down and do nothing? She's a wealthy woman with a net worth of hundreds of billions!

"By the way, Brother Chen, who is the most outstanding heir to the Arno family?"

"The second oldest, Alexander, is only one year older than you. He has already been appointed as the executive vice president of a subsidiary of the LVMH Group. The projects he has led have generated very impressive returns. In the past two years, he has even increased the revenue of the LV watch and jewelry department by half, which lasted for three full quarters!"

Su Chen was a little surprised to hear this news, but it was normal to think about it. How could the heir of a wealthy family be a first assistant like Shuraya? How come they are all big bosses in charge of a place?

Who can blame Shulaya for being favored by Arnault? Who can tell who will win until the last moment?

When Su Chen thought about these things, his head felt bigger. After all, he still owed Arno a favor.

"So what do you think? Do you also want to join this fight among the rich and powerful?"

"How is that possible? We will not get involved in these things. The most important thing now is to welcome Shulaya and the donation ceremony. As for how the Arno family will develop in the future, that is not our business!"

Su Chen understood as soon as he heard this. If it was delicious, he would definitely eat it and use their name to create public opinion in Europe.

As for the dispute over the succession to the Arnault family, I'm sorry, it's not appropriate for outsiders like us to interfere.

"The purpose of your call is to get me to go back?"

"Yeah~ Shulaya should be arriving in the imperial capital tomorrow. You'll need to come out to receive her then. After all, you two are quite familiar with each other!"

"Okay, I got it. I'll come back after I finish eating the barbecue!" After saying that, Su Chen hung up the phone.

When he put down his phone, he saw Boss Yu staring at him in amazement, which made Su Chen feel a little confused.

Chen Fei, who was sitting next to Boss Yu, made a phone call gesture with his hand, and Su Chen understood it instantly.

It seems that I didn't pay attention to the occasion when I made the phone call just now and said some shocking information.

Su Chen then gave Chen Fei a look, and Chen Fei immediately touched Boss Yu's arm with his hand.

"Boss Yu, if you don't turn the marbled beef over, it's going to get burnt!"

"Oh~" Boss Yu came back to his senses and quickly used tongs to poke the beef in the roasting pan twice.

What happened today was a complete shock to the boss. He had lived for decades and had never seen or heard anything as shocking as what he saw and heard today.

Hundreds of millions of private jets, thousands of important cultural relics, two national treasures, and the struggle among the heirs of the Arnault family behind the LVMH Group. Any one of these would take him a while to digest, let alone within just two hours today.

Su Chen and Boss Yu were both preoccupied, so they didn't eat much of the barbecue. Most of it was given to Chen Fei, who ate his fill.

"Boss Yu, I'm going back to the capital in the afternoon!" Su Chen said apologetically.

"It's okay, it's okay. Your business is more important. I just happened to be visiting my friend for two days, and then I'll go back to Ice City by myself!" Boss Yu waved his hand and said indifferently.

Su Chen nodded upon hearing this and didn't say anything else.

The meal cost a total of six hundred yuan, and Boss Yu rushed to pay the bill, saying that after this separation, they didn't know when they would meet again, so he should treat them to the meal.

Seeing the boss's firm attitude, Su Chen could only agree.

After leaving the restaurant, the two chatted for a few more words. Su Chen also specifically asked Boss Yu to come to the capital to visit him when he has time.

After saying that, he stretched out his hand to stop a taxi.

Looking at Su Chen and the other person getting into the taxi, Boss Yu smiled and waved his hand.

"Brother Su, walk slowly!"

Looking at the taxi disappearing at the end of the road, Boss Yu muttered quietly: "What kind of friend did I make!"
