Chapter 140 Is it my fault?
"The weather in the south is still warmer, everything is good except for the humidity!"
Su Chen lay on the sofa overlooking the scenery of the Huangpu River. The bright sun shining on his body made him feel warm, which was something that could not be experienced in the imperial capital.
Before I could enjoy a moment of leisure, a phone call came in.
Su Chen glanced at the phone on the table and saw that the caller ID was Si Cong.
"I'm really impressed. I think these people have discussed this beforehand!" Su Chen complained a little. Why is it so difficult to have a good rest at the end of the year?
Although he complained a little, he still answered the call.
"Hey~" he said lazily while lying on the sofa.
"I heard that you went back to Shanghai? Why didn't you tell me? I should have hosted a welcome party for you!" said Sicong jokingly.
"Come on, come on, everyone is coming to me to report on their work. I just got home and my butt hasn't even warmed up yet and you called me."
"Just tell me what's going on. You're not here to report to me, are you?"
Su Chen did not ask Sicong how he knew that he had returned to the Magic City. It was nothing more than that Zong Xinyao called a few of them who had joined to discuss the annual meeting, and mentioned her return to the Magic City in passing.
"Well, isn't it almost the New Year? It just so happens that you are back in Shanghai. I thought we could get together. Qin Fen Feiyu and the others are also in Shanghai. Look."
Su Chen hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, where should I go to find you?"
Sicong laughed evilly, "Hey, no need, we are all in the garage downstairs, come down quickly!"
When Su Chen heard this, he wanted to give him a big fight, "Wait me two minutes." After saying that, Su Chen hung up the phone.
Su Chen did not bring Chen Fei with him this time, after all, it was not very convenient for him to go.
Just as he stood up and prepared to go out, Su Chen paused, turned his head and looked at Fade Chen and asked, "By the way, Fade, where are the things I asked you to prepare?"
When returning from the imperial capital, Su Chen specifically instructed this on the plane. It could be considered a small gift for Aunt Tang's grandson.
"Ready!" Chen Fei immediately took out a huge red envelope from his coat pocket, which contained a full 50,000 cash.
Su Chen shook it twice in his hand and motioned Chen Fei to call Aunt Tang over.
Fade Chen walked quickly towards the nanny's room.
"Knock, knock!" After knocking twice on the door, she called softly, "Aunt Tang, Mr. has something to talk to you about!"
The door opened, and Aunt Tang walked out of the room quickly, asking curiously, "Sir, are you hungry? I'll go cook right away!"
"No, sir, I'm looking for you for something else!" Chen Fei had a slight smile on his face.
When Aunt Tang came to the hall, she saw Su Chen leaning on the sofa with a big red envelope in his hand.
"Sir~"
"Well~ Aunt Tang, this is a red envelope for your grandson. I don't know what gift to buy, so I'll just let you buy it yourself!" As he said that, he stuffed the red envelope into Aunt Tang's hand.
Aunt Tang, who was still a little confused, felt her hand sink. She looked through the seal and saw five stacks of 100-yuan bills inside.
"Sir, you can't do this!" Aunt Tang said as she was thinking about taking the money back.
Before she could even stretch out her hand, Fade Chen pulled her hand back, "Aunt Tang, this is also a token of my husband's love, so don't refuse it!"
Aunt Tang looked at Su Chen, who looked calm, and said gratefully, "Thank you, sir!"
Su Chen waved his hand calmly, "Also, I'll give you a day off these two days, go back and see your big fat grandson."
After saying that, he strode towards the door. When he was about to leave, he could still hear Aunt Tang's excited voice ringing in the hall.
As soon as we arrived at the basement, we saw three Lamborghini supercars and a Rolls-Royce parked in the aisle.
Sicong, Qin Fen and others were gathered together chatting.
Seeing Su Chen coming out of the elevator, everyone stood up straighter for some unknown reason.
"Old Su, you finally came down. Didn't we agree to stay for two minutes? It's already been almost ten minutes!"
After Su Chen glanced at Sicong and nodded in response, he turned his gaze to the other people. In addition to Sicong and Qin Fen, there were also Hou Ting and Chen He.
I didn't expect Chen He to come with them. Thinking that he lived not far from me, and with the rapid development of "Sheep Village", the relationship among everyone was much better than before. After all, everyone had a community of interests.
"Mr. Su!" The three of them also greeted him hurriedly.
"Well~ What are the arrangements for today?" Su Chen asked.
"Let's go eat first, Mr. Huang, the old place. We'll talk about the afternoon arrangements after we eat!" Sicong and the others also learned from Zong Xinyao that Su Chen had returned to the Magic City, so it was a temporary arrangement.
Even the place where he ate was directly contacted by Sicong, who gave him face.
"Okay~ Let's go eat first. I'm a little hungry now!" Su Chen said, patting his stomach.
Then everyone got into their respective cars. As for Su Chen, he of course got in a Rolls-Royce, and the driver was of course Chen He.
Who said he was the weakest among everyone?
The car slowly drove out of the basement and merged into the traffic. The combination of three supercars and one Rolls-Royce became the coolest look on the road, and the cars behind were at least ten meters away from them.
Su Chen sat in the passenger seat, looking at the scenery outside the window and said, "He, how is the business of the Sheep Village under your name?"
When talking about Su Chen's question, Chen He's smile deepened. "Mr. Su, you don't know how booming the business is. The three Yangcun restaurants under my name alone have a daily turnover rate of 500%. Last month, the actual net profit reached tens of millions!"
"If we develop according to Zong's plan next year and can cover all second-tier cities, the annual revenue will be at least 200 million yuan, which is more than what I make from filming variety shows!"
Although Chen He has been doing well in the entertainment industry with the help of his family background, his annual income is only tens of millions. This is because he has filmed several hit TV series before, otherwise the income would be even lower.
But now he just got on Su Chen's boat, and just a simple joining made him earn a lot of money. How could he not be excited?
"Well~ Zong Xinyao has told you about the tax aspects." Su Chen turned his head and looked at Chen He and asked.
Chen He's heart tightened, and he quickly explained: "Boss Zong has already told us about this matter. Mr. Su, please rest assured about the taxation. I will definitely not hold you back!"
He himself understands that the entertainment industry does have a bad reputation. Some time ago, it was revealed that a big entertainment star had evaded taxes, which had a very bad impact. This big star in the entertainment industry was directly banned.
He also understood what Su Chen meant. There couldn't be any rat shit in this pot of delicious porridge.
"Hmm~" Su Chen just asked casually, but he didn't expect to scare Chen He so much. He didn't know how Zong Xinyao conveyed it to these people.
But looking at Chen He's expression, it seems that he conveyed the message very well!
Mr. Huang, second floor!
Sicong brought Su Chen into the small room.
"What's so mysterious?"
As soon as Mr. Huang arrived, Si Cong came up to him and said that he had something to talk to him about. He even found a quiet place on purpose, as if he was afraid that Qin Fen and the others would hear him. Si Cong did not say anything, but rummaged in his down jacket with his right hand, took out a black bank card and handed it to Su Chen.
"This is a Swiss anonymous black card. It contains 100 million yuan, which is the profit dividend from the previous batch of aged wine!"
“This card can be used with confidence, whether at home or abroad!”
Sicong did not forget to explain it again, so as to prevent Su Chen from misunderstanding that there was something fishy going on.
Su Chen took the Swiss black card and played with it for a while before putting it away. "It seems that you have really made this wine business a success!"
“Of course. Look at how hard Qin Fen, Hou Ting and others have worked. They have already opened up the high-end catering market. This year’s wine has already started selling. According to feedback, customers are quite satisfied with this wine.” Sicong was also a little proud. After all, a company was rising in his hands, and this sense of accomplishment was something to be proud of.
Su Chen suddenly thought of the aged wine that Jiang Yang had given him before. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he said jokingly, "Did you give away all the aged wines over 40 years old as favors?"
"You are just offering gifts to Buddha!"
The smile on Si Cong's face froze instantly. He smiled awkwardly and asked in confusion, "How did you know?"
"How do I know? They brought a box to my house, how do you think I would know?"
"Ah~" Sicong reacted immediately and realized that they were most likely those people from the imperial capital.
What he didn't expect was that Su Chen meant so much to those people that they would even visit him with gifts.
The part of the aged wines over 40 years old that he had taken before, except for those second-generation people in the imperial capital circle, the rest were basically sent to Lao Wang. After all, his father had contacts at a much higher level than himself, and these aged wines were perfect gifts.
Even he himself only kept less than two boxes.
The black card worth 100 million yuan that he gave to Su Chen this time was nominally a dividend from the wine, but in fact part of it was made up by Sicong taking out of his own small treasury.
After all, those aged wines that are more than 40 years old are worth a lot of money. Even though they are just a drop in the bucket for Su Chen, he has to show the right attitude. It's impossible for him to just eat them for free.
This is not his style.
"Okay~ It's time to go out, the dishes should be here!" Su Chen patted Sicong's shoulder, smiled and walked out of the small room.
Sicong now came to his senses. Su Chen just wanted to make fun of him. He shook his head helplessly and followed him out.
"Today's lunch is quite sumptuous. Is this Wagyu beef produced domestically?" Su Chen asked, looking at the steak in front of him.
"How could it be domestically produced? It was airlifted back from New Zealand. It was slaughtered that day and then frozen and airlifted back!" Qin Fen explained on the side. He was much better at this than Si Cong.
Who told our Master Sicong that he loves to eat even from roadside stalls? How could he possibly care about these ingredients from Master Huang?
Su Chen nodded when he heard that, picked up the knife and fork, cut a small piece, dipped it in a little sauce and put it into his mouth.
"Hmm~ The meat is really good. It tastes better than the wagyu beef I had in Qiqihar before!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw four pairs of eyes looking at him.
After the previous experience in "Sheep Village", I thought Su Chen had discovered some "treasure" unknown to outsiders!
Si Cong couldn't help but ask, "Lao Su, you said that the taste of the Wagyu beef in Qiqihar is not much different from what we eat now?"
"Some time ago, I went to Qiqihar to try the local barbecue. The quality of the Wagyu beef there is not much different from this one." Su Chen said, shaking the small piece of steak on the fork.
"Isn't it cheap?"
"It's cheap, of course! A serving of top-quality marbled beef is 58! The other items are all the same price! Oh, and a serving weighs a full 7 taels!"
Su Chen's words silenced them. They were all people who frequently visited high-end restaurants, so they naturally knew the prices of marbled beef and Wagyu steaks in those restaurants, which could easily cost hundreds or thousands of yuan, and some even thousands of yuan!
Even the Australian M12 Wagyu steak they were eating now was priced at yuan by Mr. Huang, and it was not even taels, only half a catty at most.
The gap between domestic and imported products is nearly thirty times, and the profit margin is terrifyingly huge.
For a moment, there was a gleam in the eyes of Si Cong and others, and they were all thinking about something.
Su Chen also noticed the expressions of the crowd, but he didn't say much. It would be a good thing if their actions could bring about a different development for Qiqihar.
"Lao Su, what do you think of the beef from Qiqihar?"
Before Sicong finished speaking, he saw Su Chen's left hand raised up, "Let's eat, don't talk about business!"
Well~ Su Chen had spoken, so everyone could only suppress their excitement and start eating.
From time to time, he would share interesting things that happened to him. Especially when Su Chen knew that Si Cong had changed his girlfriend again, he couldn't help but look at him a few more times and whispered in his heart, "At the speed of changing girlfriends, sooner or later his body will become weak!"
After the dinner, Su Chen thought that since they were all out, they might as well have some fun, so he planned to let Sicong and the others find a place to play. However, when he saw that they all looked worried, he knew that they were talking about the beef from Qiqihar.
"I wonder if you guys can still have fun together!" Su Chen said unhappily.
Si Cong looked at him with a hint of resentment and said, "It's all your fault. You didn't tell us that the Wagyu beef in Qiqihar is better. We couldn't even enjoy our meal just now!"
Qin Fen and others on the side also nodded in agreement.
Su Chen was so angry that he laughed. It turned out that he was the bad guy in the end!
He walked to Chen He's side and spread his right hand in front of him.
Chen He looked at Su Chen in front of him in confusion. Just when he was about to ask what was going on, he heard the sound of tearing onions, "Why are you still standing there? Give him the car keys!"
Upon hearing this, Chen He quickly handed the Rolls-Royce key in his pocket to Su Chen.
After taking the key, Su Chen didn't even look at the others. He quickly walked to the Rolls-Royce, opened the door, and was about to get in when the sound of tearing onions rang out again.
"Lao Su, what about Qiqihar and the cattle?"
"Contact Zong Xinyao yourself!" After saying that, he stepped on the accelerator and drove away in the Rolls-Royce.
Looking at the Rolls-Royce merging into the traffic, Qin Fen walked up to Si Cong and asked nervously, "Is Su Shao angry with us? Is he just driving away like this?"
Even Hou Ting and Chen He cast anxious glances.
"Angry? What are you angry about? Didn't you hear me just now? Let's contact Zong Xinyao and discuss it ourselves!"
"Besides, he didn't want to go out to play and just wanted to have a good rest at home. Believe it or not, he is very happy now!" Sicong said confidently.
"I don't believe it!" Qin Fen and the other two said in unison.
At this moment, Su Chen was singing loudly along with the music in the car, just as Sicong said.
"Still free and singing my song forever!"
“Travel thousands of miles!”
"Forgive me for my unruly and free-spirited life!"
I went for a check-up today and the doctor said it was Mycoplasma pneumonia. He gave me some IV and prescribed some medicine.
