Chapter 147 The World is Big and Small

Jiangbei Airport!

The plane slowly landed, and Su Chen woke up from his light sleep and stretched lazily.

He glanced at Su Qingya who was sleeping soundly next to him, smiled and shook his head.

After taking off from Shanghai's Hongqiao Airport, she felt like she had discovered a new world. She lay in front of the plane window and looked at the scenery below. After nearly an hour of tossing and turning, she finally fell asleep in the chair, feeling a little exhausted.

I didn't expect that I would sleep until the plane landed at Jiangbei Airport in the foggy city.

"Qingya, wake up, we've arrived in the foggy city!"

"Hmm~ Are we there yet?" Su Qingya looked around with blurry eyes. It seemed that she had slept soundly and her brain was restarting.
Seeing Su Qingya's cute look, Su Chen smiled and rubbed her little head and said, "Hurry up and pack up, we'll be getting off the plane soon."

Looking at the hair that looked like a chicken coop, Su Chen walked quickly towards the front cabin without stopping.

A moment later, a roar was heard from behind, "Ah~, my hair!"

Hearing this voice, Su Chen smiled with satisfaction. It made him feel like he was back in his childhood, when he often bullied his sister and messed up her hair.

Su Qingya trotted out from the rear cabin, her previously messy hair now tied into a ponytail.

"Brother~ I just saw several cars parked next to the plane. Are they here to pick us up?"

Su Chen glanced out the window and a familiar figure appeared in his sight.

"Um~ your brother's friend!"

As he said that, he walked towards the plane.

"You finally came down. I thought you fell asleep on the plane. I was about to go up to call you!" Yin Zheng said jokingly, leaning against the car body.

Su Chen shook his head behind him, indicating the reason why he was late.

Yin Zheng thought Su Chen was having a seizure, but the next moment a beautiful figure walked down from the plane.

"Brother Chen~who is this?" Yin Zheng came close to Su Chen, looking attentive.

He knew that this was not Su Chen's woman, otherwise the two of them wouldn't be like this, how could they be hugging each other.

"My cousin." After saying that, Su Chen thought of something, looked at Yin Zheng with a strange expression and said, "Don't have any bad ideas, playboys like you, don't get involved!"

As if his secret thoughts were exposed, a trace of embarrassment flashed across Yin Zheng's face, but he immediately said seriously: "You are judging others by your own mean heart. Your sister is my sister, isn't she? I am just concerned about you, okay!"

If Su Chen didn't know what kind of person Yin Zheng was, he might have actually believed his righteous appearance.

"Brother~who is this?" Su Qingya walked to Su Chen and asked curiously.

“Yoonjeong, your brother’s friend!”

Su Qingya and Yin Zheng nodded to each other when they heard this.

Su Chen simply introduced the name and did not give any further introduction to the others.

The crew members also moved the New Year's goods that Su Chen had bought to the car. Looking at the boxes of exquisite gift packages in the car, Yin Zheng asked curiously, "Did you buy this?"

"New Year's goods, some top-quality dried seafood, saffron and the like, to be given as gifts during the New Year. Would you like to take a few boxes back later?"

Yin Zheng waved his hand and said, "No, there's still a lot at home, I'm tired of eating them all!"

Su Chen didn't say much after hearing this. Maybe these things were luxuries for ordinary people, but for a third-generation like Yin Zheng, they were commonplace.

Several cars slowly drove out of the airport. Yin Zheng asked where they were going. When he learned that Su Chen was planning to go directly back to Fuzhou, he felt terrible.

You should know that it takes at least one and a half hours to get from Jiangbei Airport to Fuzhou, and if there is a traffic jam, it may take two or three hours.

"I thought you would stay in the main city for a few days, but you went straight home." Yin Zheng said unhappily. He had already made plans for the next few days, but he didn't expect them to fail.

Su Chen shook his head helplessly, "Okay, stop acting like a resentful woman. I'll treat you to hotpot when we get back to Fuzhou!"

You should know that the highest etiquette of the people in the Fog City is to treat them to hotpot. There is nothing that cannot be solved by a hotpot. If that doesn’t work, then have two hotpots!
There was laughter all along the way. What Su Chen didn't expect was that Su Qingya and Yin Zheng got along very well. Su Qingya told all kinds of jokes and made Su Qingya very happy.

Su Chen couldn't help but sigh, although Yin Zheng spent a little time, he really knew how to make girls happy, so one could only admire him.

It was already past one in the afternoon when Su Chen and the others got home. They were all so hungry that they didn't even have the energy to talk.

When passing Binjiang Road, Su Chen saw a Shufen Hotpot restaurant and quickly asked the driver to stop.

"welcome!"

As soon as I entered the door, the waiter standing at the door shouted loudly.

Su Zhixin, who was clearing the bill at the bar, looked up and was stunned for a moment when he saw the customer coming in. After he came to his senses, he walked out excitedly.

"Xiao Chen, when did you come back?"

At this time, Su Zhixin also saw Su Qingya and Yin Zheng following behind Su Chen.

"Qingya!"

"Dad, I miss you so much!" Su Qingya said coquettishly while hugging Su Zhixin's arm.

"You're so grown up now, but you haven't had any plastic surgery." Su Zhixin looked at his precious daughter, his love almost overflowing from his eyes.

"Uncle San, we just came back and haven't eaten yet. We're all starving. Please ask the kitchen staff to work faster." Su Chen said, touching his stomach.

When Su Zhixin heard this, he quickly asked everyone to sit down.

“Okay, you sit down first, I’ll arrange it for you right away!” As he said that, he walked quickly towards the kitchen, but stopped for a moment on Yin Zheng’s body before leaving.

As soon as they sat down, the waiter brought each of them a bowl of Tremella soup. Su Chen specially asked about it and found out that it was suggested by his third uncle Su Zhixin. It was specially made by the kitchen, and the most important thing was that it was free and everyone could drink it as much as they wanted.

Su Chen and the other three were all from the Fog City. At that time, they all ordered a red pot, and the dish started out medium spicy, otherwise it would have no taste.

The kitchen staff was still working very quickly. The Tremella soup in the bowl hadn't been finished yet, but the table was already filled with dishes, most of them meat dishes, with only a few vegetables.

The few people who were already starving smelled the delicious aroma of the hot pot and couldn't resist it, so they just picked up the plates and poured food into the pot.

"Well~Su Chen, your hot pot is really delicious, and the ingredients seem to be very fresh!" Yin Zheng said while eating.

"It has to be, otherwise it wouldn't be spread all over the Fog City!" Su Chen was so proud, after all, this was his real family business.

Su Chen is not bragging. Now Shufen Hotpot Restaurant has begun to expand to other districts in the main city. Even in the districts and counties under the main city, many people want to join, but unfortunately they were all rejected by Chen Shufen.

The reason for the refusal was very simple. He did not want to ruin Shufen's good reputation.

Those people from different districts and counties who want to join Shufen Hotpot simply want to use this name to catch the express train to wealth because they see that Shufen Hotpot is becoming more and more prosperous in the main city of Fog City. These people have a nice idea.

It's a pity that imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel.

After the hotpot meal, the three of them were sweating profusely, but their faces were full of satisfaction.

Su Qingya leaned back in her chair, stroking her bulging belly and said, "I haven't had such delicious hot pot in a long time."

Changing the subject, he tilted his head and looked at Su Chen beside him and said, "Brother, if I gain weight, you will be responsible!"

Su Chen gave her a displeased look, wondering who was the one who was acting like a starving ghost and asked the kitchen to add several servings of tender meat slices.

At least two-fifths of the meat and vegetables had gone into Su Qingya's stomach. Now she was blaming herself for gaining weight. It's really hard to raise a girl.

Su Chen turned to look at Yin Zheng beside him and asked, "Are you going back to Wu today?"

Yin Zheng was silent for a moment after hearing this and then said, "I'll be back soon!"

Although Yin Zheng has been saying that he wants to eat a few meals with Su Chen, he doesn't have the time. The year is almost over and the company still has a lot of things to deal with.

He also wanted to lie down, but his father would not allow him. The reason he could be so leisurely today was because he came out in the name of Su Chen, otherwise he would still be reviewing the company's accounts.

Play is play, joke is joke, but don't joke with the family business.

Su Chen nodded upon hearing this, and went to chat with his third uncle Su Zhixin about the recent developments of Fuzhou Shufen Hotpot, then left with Yin Zheng. As for Su Qingya, she was kept by his third uncle, under the pretext of helping out.

Su Qingya's pleading look when she left made Su Chen couldn't help laughing.

Haiyi Jiangshan.

Just as Su Chen was about to open the door, it opened with a "click".

Seeing the person who opened the door, Su Chen was also stunned for a moment, "Mom, why are you home?"

It was Chen Shufen who opened the door. Seeing that Su Chen was followed by several people in suits, she quickly opened the door.

"I've been back for a while. Let's talk later about what's going on." Chen Shufen nodded at the burly man in a suit who was moving things into the house.

"My friend's subordinate, helping me move things."

Originally, Su Chen was going to ask Yin Zheng to come up and sit for a while, but unfortunately his father called and seemed to have something important to say, so he stayed in the garage downstairs.

Soon all the things were moved into the house, and the bodyguards left in the elevator without staying for a moment.

"Xiao Chen, why did you buy these dried goods, including saffron and cordyceps?" Chen Shufen asked while flipping through the gift box.

"The New Year is coming soon, and the New Year's goods we prepared, saffron and cordyceps are for our grandparents and grandmother." Su Chen said, slumped on the sofa.

Chen Shufen's smile widened when she heard this, "Humph, you have a conscience!"

After saying that, he concentrated on studying those dry goods and supplements.

"Oh, by the way, Mom, aren't you in the main city busy with the hot pot restaurant? Why are you at home? And why haven't you been back for several days?"

"I just came back to make the cured pig's trotters and cured pork ribs you like. Your dad originally said that we should just go buy them, but now I think it's better to make them myself. Who knows if the cured pork ribs they sell are from healthy pigs?"

When Su Chen heard about cured pig's trotters and cured spare ribs, he couldn't help but lick his lips. There was nothing he could do about it. These two things were his favorite foods. In the past, his family would kill a pig every year to make cured meat, sausages and the like.

But a pig only has four hooves, and not many ribs. Every year I look forward to my mother making a meal of cured pig's trotters or cured ribs for me.

Even after working hard outside for many years, I have never forgotten this taste. Maybe this is the taste of hometown in people's mouths. There is always a taste that people can't forget.

"Mom, let's have some cured pork ribs tonight!" Su Chen said with a look of anticipation. But what he got was Chen Shufen's look of mental retardation, "They are all in my hometown. They need to be smoked for a few days before they taste better."

"Oh~" Su Chen's spirit instantly collapsed.

After Chen Shufen finished counting the New Year's goods, she clapped her hands in satisfaction and said, "Almost all the gifts are enough for all the relatives at home. There is no need to buy more."

After that, he glanced at Su Chen who was lying on the sofa and said, "I'm going to the chess and card room downstairs to play mahjong. If I come back late, you can make food for yourself!"

"What?" Su Chen immediately sat up from the sofa, opened his eyes wide and looked at Chen Shufen and said, "You want to go out and play mahjong?"

"What else could I do? I was just about to go out, but who knew you would come back!" After saying that, he walked towards the door.

Only the sound of the door closing was heard, and Su Chen shook his head helplessly.

My mother doesn't have any other hobbies. She just likes playing mahjong and chatting about gossip with the neighbors.

"Okay~ I'm alone again!" Su Chen couldn't sit still at home, so he prepared to go out for a walk and see the changes in Fuzhou in recent years.

I didn’t have a good look around when I came back before, so this is a good opportunity to take a walk around before the Chinese New Year.

He moved without delay. He originally wanted to drive out for a ride, but after searching for a while he couldn't find his father's Volkswagen key. He even called Chen Shufen and found out that the car was driven to the main city by his father.

"How about buying a car?" It's not that Su Chen has too much money and doesn't know where to spend it. Mainly because he is considering that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and he will definitely have to run around to buy New Year's things. He also doesn't know when his father will be back, and he won't take a taxi every time he goes out, right? That would be so inconvenient!
Su Chen was not the type of person who would procrastinate. After making up his mind, he took his phone and keys and went out.

He did not go to the Volkswagen 4S store this time. The main reason was that he was used to riding in luxury cars and Su Chen was not comfortable sitting in ordinary cars.

I hailed a taxi on the roadside and headed straight to the Mercedes-Benz 4S store.

There's nothing we can do. Fuzhou is a small city on the 4th tier. Even for the most famous BBA, there is only one Mercedes-Benz S store. The other two basically don't exist. So they are the kind that sell on consignment, and it takes at least half a month to wait for a car.

"Twelve dollars!"

Su Chen scanned the QR code handed over by the taxi driver, entered the password, and got off the car in one go.

Just as he was about to enter the Mercedes-Benz 4S store, a Volkswagen Touareg stopped in front of him. The window was rolled down and a young man wearing sunglasses leaned out. He was fat, with a gold necklace around his neck and a gold ring on his fat hand resting on the car window.

Su Chen's mouth twitched when he saw this look. Isn't this the typical little villain in the novel?

"I told you it was Su Chen, wife, you still don't believe it!"

Hearing this, Su Chen, who was about to take a step, stopped and looked at the fat man who was speaking.

At this time, another little head popped out. It had a very delicate appearance, and together with the fat man who was talking, they were like the beauty and the beast in a conversation.

Su Chen felt that the woman looked familiar, and she looked like the person in his memory. He called out tentatively, "Zhang Ting?"

"Long time no see, old classmates!" Zhang Ting waved her hand and said with a smile.

"Su Chen, what do you mean? Just because you know Zhang Ting, you don't know me?" The fat man said with a tone of complaint.

These words really confused Su Chen. He knocked on the fat man carefully but couldn't find one that matched.

"I'm sorry, I can't tell who you are!"

"Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter!" Zhang Ting held her stomach and laughed.

The fat man glared at her unhappily, opened the car door and got out.

"Me~ Huang Hao, take a good look, do you have any impression?"

"Huang Hao?" Su Chen was also shocked when he heard this name.

Huang Hao and Zhang Ting were his classmates in junior high school and elementary school, and they were in the same class. They could be considered old acquaintances, but in his impression, Zhang Ting was a good girl with excellent grades. After the high school entrance examination, she went to a famous middle school in Fuzhou.

Huang Hao was his deskmate in junior high school, and they had a pretty good relationship. At that time, his grades were not very good, and he was a notorious scoundrel in school.

The most important thing is that he was of normal weight at that time, and was completely different from the fat man now. It was estimated that he weighed at least 200 kilograms.

What Su Chen didn't expect was that two people who had basically no intersection would actually get together, and from listening to their conversation, it seemed that they were already married.

Could it be true that the saying that girls who are good at studying are destined to be with slackers?

After circling Huang Hao, he said with some emotion: "You are like a wild boar eating bran. When did you get married?"

Huang Hao raised his head with pride, "Don't you even look at who I am!"

It turned out that after graduating from junior high school, Huang Hao did not go to school, but started his own business. He happened to open a snack and milk tea shop near Zhang Ting's high school. As a result, the relationship between the two quickly warmed up.
Coupled with Huang Hao's shameless character, he pestered Zhang Ting and won her over in his second year of high school. Maybe it was because they were in a relationship, but Huang Hao's snack bar business was getting better and better, and he soon opened branches near other junior and senior high schools.

Although Zhang Ting was dating Huang Hao, she did not fall behind in her studies. She was later admitted to a key university and majored in economics and management. She helped Huang Hao expand his business, from a snack bar at first to a restaurant later. Now she is a multi-millionaire.

After listening to their experiences, Su Chen was secretly amazed. Isn't this a perfect protagonist in a novel and a winner in life? With their own efforts, they won the beauty and started a successful business.

Su Chen couldn't help but sigh, who would have thought that a former gangster would become a rich man now? Otherwise, based on his own experience, he would have thought that such things were just stories.

"Where are you planning to go?"

Huang Hao nodded towards the Mercedes-Benz 4S store, indicating that he was there to buy a car.

"What about you? From what I saw just now, you seemed to be planning to buy a car, too?"

Su Chen nodded and did not hide anything. After all, there was nothing to hide, and buying a car was not something shameful.

"Let's go in together!" Huang Hao said as he took Zhang Ting's hand and walked inside.

Looking at the intimacy between the two, Su Chen curled his lips, "Bah, the stench of love!"

When Su Chen went in, the salesperson from the Mercedes-Benz 4S store was already standing in front of a Mercedes-Benz GLE with Huang Hao, the same one that Su Chen had purchased before.

"Hello, sir, what car would you like to see?" At this time, a salesperson came over.

"No need, I'm with them." Su Chen said as he walked towards Huang Hao and the others.

The sales at the Mercedes-Benz 4S store were quite professional, using all kinds of professional terms and introducing them non-stop, and Su Chen listened with great interest.

"Wife, what do you think?" Huang Hao asked in a low voice.

When Su Chen heard this from behind, a smile appeared on his face. It seems that Zhang Ting is still very capable. She was able to subdue Huang Hao. Such a big thing required her to make the final decision.

Zhang Ting talked with the salesperson for a while, all they talked about was how much discount they could give and how many gifts they would give. This also allowed Su Chen to see what bargaining really means!
Soon the two of them had reached an agreement with the salesperson.

"Hey, Su Chen, why don't you go and look at the car?" Only then did Huang Hao remember Su Chen beside him.

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry. I already have a car model I like. I'll talk to you after you're done with your work!"

Huang Hao didn't ask any more questions when he saw this, and the whole process of signing and swiping the card was completed quickly.

As it is close to the Spring Festival, the 4S store has specially prepared a batch of cars so that those who make money outside can buy a car and drive away immediately.

When Huang Hao and the others followed the manager to go through the car delivery ceremony, Su Chen looked at the salesperson who was packing up and asked, "Do you have any G-Class cars in stock in your store?"

"G-Class?" The salesperson paused and looked at Su Chen in surprise.

"Hmm?" Su Chen snorted when he saw that the salesperson was a little distracted.

The salesperson came to his senses and didn't expect to come across a "double yolk egg". He said excitedly: "Yes, there happens to be a top-of-the-line white G500. I wonder what you think of it, sir!"

The salesperson's attitude was so attentive that Su Chen was no longer surprised.

"Take me to see it!"

Upon hearing this, the salesperson immediately took Su Chen towards the garage.

When he arrived at the garage downstairs, Su Chen spotted the white Mercedes-Benz G among the many cars!
He opened the car door and got in to feel it. Su Chen felt it was pretty good.

Just as the salesperson was about to introduce the configuration of the car, Su Chen's voice rang out, "Not bad, just sign the contract!"

"Sign the contract?" The salesperson has been selling cars for several years and has never seen such a straightforward customer. He didn't even need to introduce the car and just took it directly.

Fortunately, this time she didn't stand there stupidly like before, and she wanted to take Su Chen to sign the contract.

But Su Chen didn't want to run there a second time, so he suggested driving the car there and leaving directly after completing the formalities.

Seeing Su Chen's indifferent look, the salesperson gritted his teeth and agreed. After all, this was against the regulations. If there was any scratch when the car was driven out, who would be responsible?
Su Chen looked at the salesperson's expression and nodded with satisfaction.

When coming out of the basement, the salesperson drove very carefully, fearing that something might go wrong, and only breathed a sigh of relief after parking the car in an open-air parking space.

Su Chen was also very straightforward when signing the contract. When the salesperson saw Su Chen take out his Swiss Bank black card, she immediately understood why Su Chen didn't listen to her introduction to the configuration of the G500.
It's a feeling that either people know about it or they don't care at all.

It was the Swiss Bank black card that Su Chen showed. It only took a few minutes to get the street lights along the way and even to ask the 4S shop to process the license plate. They also specially arranged a three-digit bomb number for Su Chen.

After Su Chen was installing the license plate, Huang Hao and Zhang Ting drove over from the handover ceremony site.

When they saw Su Chen leaning against a white Mercedes-Benz G-Class, they both couldn't believe their eyes.

After parking the car, Huang Hao immediately ran to Su Chen, looked at the giant car in front of him and said, "Fuck, Su Chen, this is the car you bought, it must be more than two million!"

"Well, it's exactly 2.6 million after the completion!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect you to hide so deeply. You're pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger, right?" Huang Hao said with a somewhat complaining tone.

Su Chen only saw surprise and curiosity in Huang Hao's eyes, and no jealousy or anything like that.

"There's no such thing as playing dumb to eat the tiger. I just came back from Shanghai and I don't have a car, so I just wanted to buy one for transportation!"

"Whatever? A means of transportation? Wife, look at what this man is saying, is it human? Comfort my wounded heart."

Huang Hao was also speechless by Su Chen's words and went to his wife to seek comfort.

Zhang Ting didn't expect Su Chen to have changed so much, but she wasn't too curious. After all, everyone has their own opportunities.

After chatting for a while, the three of them drove their new cars away from the Mercedes-Benz 4S store.

Both parties tacitly agreed not to suggest exchanging contact information, because everyone knew that after this meeting, there would be no chance to meet again.
